Sahara Mediterranean Cuisine — Restaurant in Lower Macungie Township

I stopped at this little restaurant for some takeout on the advice of a family member and was seriously disappointed. I was given the worst excuse for a chicken shawarma that I've ever had. It was nicely rolled up like a submarine sandwich, but when opened up it was a big mess. Aside from how it looked, it really did not taste good at all, in fact it left a bad aftertaste in my mouth and an upset stomach afterward. I had to find an after dinner mint to get rid of that unpleasantness. To add insult to injury, there was so much excess liquid in it that it suddenly dumped at least a tablespoon of sauce all over my shirt which I had to immediately throw in the wash, but after two washings it still left a big permanent stain and was ruined. I also ordered 3 meat kibbee (kibbeh) which looked good but had no taste, even when dipped in a small container of what I assume was supposed to be taziki sauce. The meat was in there but difficult to find. The service was quick, but the man who I assume is the owner was loud and was apparently not having a good day. His interaction with the two ladies in the kitchen did not seem very respectful. When I asked if he had a to-go menu, he started complaining that whomever he had contracted with to print them was not doing their job, and continued to complain that "everything" was not the way it used to be before the pandemic. A $21.00 lesson learned, and believe me I will NEVER go back there again. As someone else on this platform stated, this restaurant knows nothing about how to prepare Arabic food.

Best overstuffed Gyro, I have had since the Hart Restaurant closed in WilkesBarre. I couldn’t stop eating it and it was extremely yummy. Their tzatziki is so flavorful and spiced perfectly. I love extra tzatziki and was given the perfect amount . The appetizer platter was extremely generous and could have been my meal, but my son insisted the Gyro was amazing and I was so glad that I ordered both. The app platter consisted of 3 grape leaves which were fresh and moist and delicious, the chicken shawarma had a taste you just couldn’t stop eating, the humus had some hot peppers on the top, to one side of the container and added an additional flavor, the pita was thin and homemade, I would definitely order extra next time, lastly the fried cauliflower was like nothing I have had before and will definitely order again and again. I normally do not eat dessert but had to try the baklava and was so glad I did, the filo dough was so very light and airy, the filling was not sickening sweet, like most I have tried. It was delicate and delightful. Although this was close to my son and his families home, I would drive the hour and 15 to share this authentic Mediterranean spot with my friends, co workers and clients. I teasingly told them “God could take me now” If that was my last meal before I died I would go to Heaven a very happy and...

We walked in, were seated and nobody came over to us while we watched one server work and the other one who sat us stand around on her phone. After 10 minutes she came over with water, never asked us what we wanted to drink or if we wanted an app or had questions, etc. Said 'are you ready?' and we ordered right away in fear of how long it would take for her to come back. The food came out on small appetizer sized plates, my wrap was a pita too small for the sandwich and was in foil to keep it in...when you went to move the foil to bite, it all fell apart. The chicken was so dry it was almost worthy of spitting out and my pita was soggy to the point that you touched it and it smeared onto your finger (and I had ordered my garlic sauce on the side) so there was no sauce inside the wrap. The owner was talking to other tables who brought wine and appeared to have spent more than us, sat next to us to look at his phone and never said anything but then went up to the register to talk with his two servers about their increase in takeout orders and how to increase business...I can tell you, better service and care for those already sitting in your restaurant would be a good start to increase business. No one came to ask how everything was and we had to go up to the register to pay because we were sitting for so long...
