Sahara Mediterranean Cuisine

By far the best middle eastern food in Lexington. Their hummus is my favorite hummus period! It is out of this world good because it’s so creamy and delicious and worth driving across the city just for this. I ordered to go (I almost always get to go) and got the steak and chicken kebab with rice but usually I add the lamb kufta as well. The steak is filet mignon and great quality and their lamb kufta is full of flavor(if wanting alot of flavor the lamb kufta has the most). All of this is tied in very nicely with the garlic sauce (only use a small amount to not overpower the food). Also got their lentil soup while waiting for food to be cooked which was simple but tasted great. Highly highly recommend and prices are very reasonable and Everyone who works there is very kind also.

@Dec.2025 I went for a weekday lunch. There was a queue, looked like it’s popular place. I ordered lunch special kebab beef. I liked the beef it was tender and delicious. Price is reasonable and the portion is big and satisfying.

Sahara is a no-frills spot that serves up some absolutely delicious Mediterranean food at a reasonable price. The lunch special is a great deal and includes all of what you would want on a shawarma plate!

What a great place! I have been going here for lunch for years. Great Shawarma, hummus, and the fatoosh is the best! Huge portions for less money than going to McDonald's. Let's keep it local! Support our local businesses.,.

I have eaten here dozens of times over the years…cannot recommend this place enough!! Fabulous food. The beef kabobs are insanely delicious!!!!
