A sweet homey place where you feel like you are sitting at your dinning table at home. The middle eastern food is amazing, i love all the delicious thoughts layered out in the menu. It makes me feel like i am back in the middle east. The prices are cheap and the staff are super sweet!

This place is awesome in every way. Their food is all done really well and NONE of it is anything like the usual bland, salty, oily Mediteranean stuff that nearly every other mediocre eatery in town has on their menus (but don't confuse my meaning... Sahara is NOT mediocre in any way)!

PLUS... the service from absolutely all of the guys who work there is what it should be everywhere. These guys are so genuine and nice to their customers (sadly this is never to be taken for granted in Melbourne). They don't kiss your @ss, but more to the point, they don't expect you to kiss theirs (again.. service staff at too many eateries in Melbourne seem to expect you to do so!)... they all clearly do not confuse good service with servitude!

The atmosphere is like you're sitting at your own kitchen table and the coffee has to be the best (if not also the cheapest at $3!!!) on Sydney Rd (see if you can count how many places sell coffee on Sydney Rd). This fact is consistent so simply must be deliberate.

Approximate cost: $12

Excellent Middle Eastern food (falafels, pizzas, etc.), fabulous European desserts (cakes and puddings), and great coffee. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere. It's a good to go to for a meal as well as for dessert and coffee (I've done both a number of times).
