Sahara Mediterranean Fine Wine & Food -Food CA (Near Largo)

5 /5 Andres Verney: Had some of the best Lebanese, Middle Eastern food in a long time. Waitress was a little dry at first impression but attentive and softened up after a little bit. The food was fantastic. The Lentil soup was amazing, not as good as my Colombian recipe, but excellent flavor and hot. I ordered the chicken kabob salad with hummus and really enjoyed it. The tabbouleh was amazing. Was pleasantly surprised at the delicious taste of the baklava, considering the size was half of the portion Im used to eating. I will definitely be back to try some other dishes. Unfortunately, they were out of Kefta. Price was a bit on the high side, but the quality and taste deserve it. They can definitely improve the friendliness of the service. They do wine tastings, which I intend on coming back for one of those events.

5 /5 Michelle Liddick: What a wonderful experience! The food alone was exceptional. Every bite was better than the last. The atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful. The incredibly welcoming staff (mother & son) were the most refreshing part of this experience. I wish them great success.

5 /5 Julia Gaines: This place was soooo good to us. The ladies that work there are super kind first of all. They have Beirut beer with the pull tab which is so rare. And the food was amazing. I got the kafte kebab which was really juicy and flavorful. The sides I got were fries and salad. They even had mayonnaise for the fries. It was incredible, the fries were hand cut and the salad dressing was really tasty. My boyfriend got the schwarma which was made with filet mignon. It was super tender and delicious. He got tabbouleh and hummus for sides. They gave us some zhoug garlic sauce and hot sauce and a big piece of fresh pita bread torn into quarters which you can use to make sandwiches of everyones protein and sides. We also got a baklava for dessert which was nice. It was not too big like most place’s dessert it was just like a little baklava. Perfect to finish the meal. You know when food makes you cackle a bit because it’s so fresh and delicious. It was that good! The food was AMAZING!!!! The wine by the glass was good too. All wines by the bottle were available by the glass too! They had a French rose which was perfect for my dinner. In the same facility they also had a wine bar style seating area. The service was very friendly and made us feel welcome and valued at the restaurant at all times. The atmosphere was very private and nice with perfect lighting and quiet music. It was also affordable for the atmosphere and service level. Our bill was under $100 for two rounds of drinks and 2 generously portioned entrees. I would recommend this place to anyone.

5 /5 Felix Gallagher: This is an absolute gem - the best food we ate during a 3 week vacation in Florida. The food is so fresh and authentic Lebanese. We were a party of six and probably ordered way more than we needed, but we cleaned our plates. The Beirut beer and extensive wine selection were really tasty and went well with the Mediterranean flavors. Our server (I think owner) was so welcoming and genuine in her interactions. She explained some of the dishes that we were unfamiliar with and recommended wines to go with them. As an Irish person visiting Florida we found the food in most places very similar- almost every menu was the same. Most of it appeared mass produced and greasy. This was definitely not the case in Sahara. The food was fresh and prepared in front of you. The staff showed us dishes in advance and made great recommendations. We basically ordered one of each platter and at least one of all the sides. Unfortunately we were finished before we took a photo! I highly recommend Sahara and would encourage locals and tourists to give it a try. You will not regret it.
