Sahara Middle Eastern Eatery is located on Central across from the beautiful University of New Mexico. We offer the very best in Mediterranean Specialties, from Magloobeh to our award-winning falafel.…
I decided to try Sahara after seeing a local post about how the owner treated a homeless man with such kindness and generosity. The owner asked if he was hungry and made him a plate instead of "kicking him out" of the restaurant - that kind of compassion deserves support.
I’m so glad I gave this place a try! The food was absolutely amazing – flavorful, large portions, and a great price point. It also arrived super fast. I added more items to the order last minute (with 6 minutes left), but it was too late, so I ended up with two dashers for one order – still, everything arrived perfectly.
This might just become my go-to DoorDash spot when I’m working downtown. Highly recommend giving them a try!

consistently one of my favorite restaurants! I get two meals out of most of the dishes, and they're all delicious. The Jallab is fantastic for hot summer days and the hummous is some of the best I've had

The dolmas was AMAZING,perfectly cooked and very good and fresh. A bit bigger than normal dolmas I'm used to, so worked very well as a snack. The chicken tika kabob wrap was also amazing, very flavorful and the pita was toasted very nicely. Definitely will be ordering again!

The Jordan Imported Baklava was delicious and fresh, and had enough pieces to share with my fiancé.
The Chicken Shawarmah Sandwich was just as amazing as it always is. It's my go-to order here.
It was also my first time trying the Jallab as I usually order Turkish Coffee, and wow it is so so good. I love supporting Sahara, and I will continue to do so.

The Shawarma sandwich was off the rails delicious. Excellent flavor and value. I could’ve gone with half as many pickles, and it would be perfect. The hummus was also very delicious and the pitas were on point. The jallab and baklava really sold me on the quality of this place. I would come back to Albuquerque just to eat here again.
