Neither J S nor Tamara could have been there within the last 2 weeks. This place closed about 2 months ago and is now a Mexican restaurant. Sahara was good back in the day. Sad to see them go. I figured I'd post so no one tries to go there.
Been going to Sahara Grille for years and I was so disappointed with the quality of our meal tonight. They have definitely gone drastically downhill since relocating. As other reviewers noted the rice is extremely bland, no almond slivers, pine nuts or seasoned meat in it. Potato wedges are now awful french fries (which... why would you want that from a middle eastern restaurant?). The hummus was so overpowered by lemon it was inedible. Kid's chicken meal was so overcooked I didn't want my child to eat it. Beyond the taste, the presentation was disgusting. Appetizer trio was just a takeout container slopped with hummus , kibbie and falafel thrown straight into the hummus along with plastic containers of tahini (I'm talking thrown directly into the pile of hummus). Worst part was the chicken tawook had a hair on top of it. Will not be back- I'd prefer Aladdin's any day.
BEST? VEGETARIAN?GRAPE? LEAVES.?EVER!!????????Smoothe, creamy, slight acidity. They were awesome for $7?!! C'Mon you're missing out on these tasty little trinkets
The quality of the food went downhill big time!!! They’re using cheap italian dressing for the greek salad, the rice pilaf no longer has the seasoned meat mixed in and it seems like its instant rice from the microwave… Insanely overpriced for the quality. We’ll never return and had been 10 year customers. Sad. I knew something was off when they moved to the mall food court. They won’t last much longer with food like that. It was disgusting
Very good! Large portion. Fresh. Ordered online

Not authentic by any means false advertising cheap frozen meats used will never get food from here again
I've never been to their old restaurant. However, their new restaurant at the Belden Village Mall is fantastic. I've ate here probably 20 times since last October. Outstanding.
I have been going to Sahara grille for the better part of 10 years... the food was always plentiful and and flavorful. Since it has moved to Belden village mall, after the pandemic, portions are smaller and prices are higher. I'm sad to see this restaurant become a victim of the economic devastation caused by the pandemic. I have given Sahara various attempts since its move, but it's not the same. It's unfortunate because there are so few decent independent Restaurants worth supporting in stark County.
My favorite is the tabouli, fresh pita, and za’tar. The falafel and vegetarian grape leaves are great too.
