Great take out. I have only ordered take out from this place and the

food is very good and the portion amazing and the hot

sauce, out of this word. Highly recommended.

Editorial Review. Arab and American food make for an unusual, but welcome cheap eats spot in Rogers Park.

Sahara Kabob...the best luncheon retreat!. Sahara was a great little place. We ordered lunch for the whole office (15 people), and the total averaged to about 10/person. The actual amount of food we got though was amazing. Definately worth the price and then some. I would highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. If you do not know what to eat, i recommend the combo!

Great little neighborhood place for simple mediterranean/middle east Dishes. Cheap and BYOB.. GREAT little neighborhood place. Forget the American food items (hamburgers, etc.), and stick with the mediterranean/middle east selections. Soup selections are both warm, filling and delicious -- Lentil everyone recommends; but don't forget the other "Douckua" -- made of barley with meat and a yogurt cream base and seasoned by cardamon. Then, don't miss the other Appetizers -- "Boorek" is a little egg-roll like dish stuffed with meat, and Lahmim Beajin is sort of a mini-pizza (flat crisp pita dough with seasoned meat on top). For entrees, Shawarma and Kebobs are excellent -- huge plates. Don't expect any ambiance dining -- just a small place with a few tables (they do a lot of take-out/delivery business). However, service was very personal, friendly and extremely welcoming. Surprisingly, they even provided us with a couple of fine wine glasses. All-in-all, excellent and plentiful food, excellent service, Very Reasonale prices (filled up for 2 on $21, including tax & tip); and BYOB.
