Sahara Restaurant & Grill- Bar The District Detroit

OMG!! Where do I start? My husband planned a surprise 70th birthday luncheon for me here. We had a large party. 14 adults and 3 children. Everything was exceptional! The food was great! The atmosphere festive! They played celebratory music that enhanced our experience. Our waitress was Darianne (?) and she was the best! With so many people vying for her attention with special requests, she never once lost her cool. She was always pleasant and accommodating. Whatever we needed…she provided for us, with a smile! I had the Chicken shawarma lunchbox, with rice, hummus and garlic sauce. YUM😋😋😋! I can’t wait to go back there again, just me and hubby. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed!

The drink menu is super creative, the pomegranate smash and the Sahara sidecar are amazing, well balanced and simply said, delicious. The food was so good, fresh and overall one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The lamb chops, were by far the best I’ve ever had, and the service by all was exceptional. We came late and they made us feel welcome and not rushed at all. I am recommending the anyone and everyone. Great Job Sahara team!!!

This is by far the most authentic Mediterranean food I have ever tasted ! Loved the variety of all that was offered and it was (both times) healthy and incredibly tasty ! What a fantastic location right near where the Detroit Tigers & Lions host games so is a great alternative to all the fast food in stadiums. Service by Ferris, Evalina, & Erica was exceptional! They truly care about each customer & had me in & out before the rain could (& would) have stranded me. The owner is tops and went above and beyond to ensure my experience did not disappoint. I was very soon back for more! Sadly I’ll be leaving town yet feel very impressed with this family owned restaurant for more than 4 decades now… Wow !

Great service, very neat, halal food, the interior design beautifully makes you feel you are welcome. The mixed appetizer is enough for 4 persons people. We have ordered as well Tika Chicken and Shrimp with the homemade lemon sauce.

Amazing restaurant!! The food at this place was great and reasonably priced! Great customer service! I went alone and had lamb chops and they were so good!! I also ordered a fattoosh salad which was good as well! I came after a Tigers game and I’m glad I did! I will definitely be back. You also won’t wait long for your meal to arrive!! 10 stars!!
