Velocity joins the chorus of praise for Sahara Café

[Robin Garr]

Over at Velocity this week, Lisa Hornung finds her way to Sahara Café and gets an unusually generous-for-Velocity 318 words to praise this little St. Matthews spot. She finds the grape leaves a little "tangy" and the hummus short on garlic, likens the shawarma (favorably!) to nachos, and raves about a to-go order of baghlava. She leaves a $5 tip on $23.97 (a 21 percent tip) because, she says, "the service was good." Personally, at a low-price place like this, I'd just have rounded up to $30, but hey. Bottom line, I think the raves for Sahara have been uniformly strong from everyone I know who's been there.

I'll second the general opinion that Sahara serves very good food at a reasonable price. The enthusiasm of the owner/server was apparent the night we ate there. I place them in Shiraz's class.

I am glad to see another positive review about this place. They serve really good food for a very reasonable price; and like the article said, the service is good and the owners are very friendly. Funny, though, regarding flavors and personal opinions... the grape leaves were one my favorites on our sampler platter!

If you haven't been yet, you should really give it a try soon!
