Sahara On Main

Although the prices have gone up, the food is worth it. I got the Curry chicken, Damascus bread, and stuffed grape leaves, it was all good. It was my first time having grape leaves...it's my favorite now. Chicken was tender and flavorful, with a seasoned grilled taste. I make my own curry chicken which is hard to beat, but this came very close to beating it, lol. The grape leaves came with a dipping sauce, that complimented it well. As always, the customer service was on point. Will be back soon.

My husband and I came in for the first time and ordered the kafta platter and the chicken shwarma platter. We also got a side of hummus and bread. We were severely disappointed with the portion size of the hummus compared to the price. But, the hummus and bread were the best parts of the meal. The chicken shwarma was lacking the distinct spices that make chicken shwarma. My "kafta" was a joke to be honest. It was just ground beef with no spices at all. It was like they took a hamburger patty and cut it in half and cooked it on the grill and put it over rice. The portion size for that was small as well. I've been all over the middle east and have been hosted in the us by various Arab families and I've never had kafta or shwarma this bland. The hummus and fresh bread were the saving grace.

This restaurant was our saving grace during our trip to Columbia. We went here quite a few times during our stay because the food was so delicious and consistent. The Damascus bread will make you never want to eat pita again. It’s both soft and crispy and has an amazing flavor. The grape leaves are also recommended as is the feta salad and the hummus. The kufta lamb over rice was so flavorful and the veggies were super fresh. We got to know Mahand, the owner, over our multiple visits. He is so welcoming, kind, and has such a passion for cooking, and it really shows. We will miss eating here!

We tried the chicken kabobs, the chicken curry and the Pasha Chicken. The owner brought over fresh and hot pita bread and hummus. Both of them were incredibly. All of the people in my party were blown away with the customer service and the food! The portions were large and enough to have leftovers! The Curry chicken had the option of spicy or mild. I tried the mild. There was a kick but definitely true to the description. Another added bonus is that they have a couple parking spots in front of the store front so you don’t have worry about finding parking in Columbia. Overall a great experience and would recommend trying it!
