He said the soup reminded him fondly of the soup he enjoyed when he traveled to Turkey several times. The flavor of the Gyro meat was so perfect with sumac! A great addition! The rice, the vegetables with the gyro plate were really good. The salad was great too. We had a pick up order, but the restaurant was clean, inviting. The gentleman who gave me my order was very nice. All around, this was a really good experience. If we stop through the area again, we'll definitely come back.

My daughter and I stopped at Sahara Mediterranean Grill in Lee's Summit to grab dinner to go before…read morechurch. I absolutely love Mediterranean food, especially the Mediterranean food I've experienced back home, so I was really excited to try a new spot. The restaurant itself was very clean, quiet, and easy to navigate. You order at the counter and they bring your food out, and the staff was friendly enough. I just wasn't overly impressed with the overall experience. I ordered the chicken shawarma pita, which came with lentil soup. Unfortunately, the shawarma was pretty mediocre for me. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't something that left me thinking, "I can't wait to come back and get this again." I was especially looking forward to the lentil soup, but unfortunately, it was so hot that it actually burned through the bottom of the container and leaked all through the bag. By the time we realized what had happened, a good portion of the meal had been ruined. The one thing I will say is that the garlic sauce was really good! My daughter also enjoyed her chicken tenders and fries, so there were definitely some positives. Overall, I'm glad we tried Sahara, but based on this particular visit, I wouldn't be rushing back. I think there's potential for it to be a good spot, but my first experience just didn't wow me the way I was hoping it would.

My husband got a lamb bowl and I got chicken. I really enjoyed the crazy feta. I was a little disappointed that they offered free pita chips for a 5 star review. At first, I just thought it was for a review and I was happy to do. My husband heard the 5 star part and neither one of us were comfortable with that since we had never been there. So, we bought the pita chips and they were the best part of the meal.

The food is outstanding!! I had the baba ghanoush, sample platter, and original kanafa and everything blew me away! It was all so fresh and tasty!! I've never had kanafa before but it was crazy and I would recommend trying it if you haven't, it was really fun as it's just very different from the typical desserts in the United States!!

(Parts from original review 10/13/2022) * OMGOODNESS!…read more We soooo enjoyed our meal here. This restaurant serves up huge portions and extremely delicious Mediterranean fare. I'm always taking food home. The fresh vegetables they served in our salads were positively the freshest we've enjoyed outside of our home. The Lamb was magnificent! Also the falafel and the hummus were the best we've ever had. Smooth and savory, without being too acidic and overpowering with lemon. The entire meal was unforgettable in a great way! We'll be loyal patrons for life! So glad they opened this location so close to our home. They also serve up the best fresh squeezed lemonade ice ever had... I ordered the mint flavored lemonade. However, they have cherry, strawberry, and blueberry as well.. all fresh made to order. Only one size... about 32 ounces... also enough to share! We highly recommend at "any hour", always hot, and always fresh to order! A must try!

All of the waitstaff were friendly, attentive and helpful. The hummus here is prime. So delicious, nothing like it! My lamb was tender with all the Mediterranean flavor just as if you were in Greece. I love the toasted veggies, potatoes and creamy garlic sauce is cool and flavorful. The plate can be shared but I just had leftovers for home. My mom got the salmon.

Yall - run to Darna for their Turkish coffee and their french fries!!!…read more Darna delivers one of the most consistently impressive Mediterranean dining experiences in the Kansas City metro area. The Turkish coffee is undeniably the best in the region--rich, bold, and brewed to absolute perfection. Equally spectacular are the french fries, tossed in a signature seasoning blend that achieves an ideal balance of crispness and flavor, elevating them far beyond standard sides. The rest of the menu is just as superb. The falafel bowl, beef gyro, earthy lentil soup and tender, expertly rolled grape leaves round out an exceptional meal. Beyond the food, the service is remarkably warm, friendly, and attentive without ever feeling intrusive. Whether stopping in for a quick coffee break or a full Mediterranean spread, Darna sets a high bar for both culinary quality and hospitality.

This meal felt like a family member made it. This restaurant has a great story with the name - basically the kid ma always raiding baba's pantry for food. This a full meal every time. Try the jalapeño sumac. It's not too hot but it's a nice step up from say spinach dip. I will be back soon to try the kebab and falafel. Only downside is the limited seating, but it was a nice afternoon outside. *Pro tip. There is a discount for paying cash - just like you would expect for a family small business.
