Sahara - Pasadena

From watching a friend of mine go there the service thinks it can go in public and cuss at people the skinny guy thinks he's tough guy

We celebrated my son 26th birthday dinner with the family here and friends and we had an awesome time. The staff is so nice and food is great! We bring our birthday cake. And enjoy !!!

Fantastic Middle Eastern Food and excellent friendly service! Highly recommended.

I have been eating here for years and the food here is delicious!!. Their shawarma and bbq they make is the best I have tried in Los Angeles, and I have tried many places. I think what makes this place so great is the quality of food they give and the amount of food they give will fill you up. I can tell their quality is VERY good and very fresh. If you are in the Pasadena looking for shawarma or bbq to eat then I’m telling you right now this place is gonna be #1. Try their combination plate or their shawarma plate. The food at this restaurant is WAY BETTER THEN ZANKOU!! Make sure to try their tahini sauce as well. It is very good.

I've eaten at Sahara hundreds of times. I've since moved from Pasadena, but whenever I get back to town, I make a pilgrimage here. On one of those trips I discovered Sahara had been sold. I was crushed. This had been a favorite restaurant for decades. Losing the previous owners was like losing family. But the good news was the food actually improved! It was always fresh, healthy, and delicious here. Now? Even more so! It's not sexy. It's not romantic. It is a store front. Even so, Sahara is one of the best restaurants in Pasadena.
