Been here 30+ times and never disappoints. I've introduced many people to this restaurant as well and haven't heard one bad thing. Friendly service. Just wish they were open on the weekends! Highly recommend trying if you like this sort of cuisine.

I got there at 10am, 3 different times, it never opens on time apparently. One day I will try if they actually open before I go to work...

This is literally the best Mediterranean food I have had in town. Staff is always super friendly and accommodating. If you get a chance to stop here for lunch, go!

I have been working in Lansing for the past year, yet I only recently started getting my lunch from Sahara Delight. Ever since I started going, I have no other reason to go anywhere for lunch. The staff and owners are extremely friendly and warm natured. The food is amazing, especially for a price that you cannot beat at any other restaurant. I would strongly encourage anyone to give them a try!

Beautiful restaurant in downtown Lansing. Sort of a hole in the wall place that is easy to miss but I would absolutely recommend that you stop in. The portions are very generous to say the least, especially given the prices. I had the saraha sampler which I would only recommend if you are going into it knowing that you are getting essentially 2-3 meals out of it. Very good food and very friendly staff.Vegetarian options: There is a dedicated vegetarian menu which is readily displayed alongside their meat options making this a very friendly and approachable place for those who do not eat meat.Wheelchair accessibility: Street level access without a step up makes this place accessible to those in a wheelchair or other types of mobility aids.

I tried the cauliflower plate, and sadly, it left much to be desired. I wouldn’t recommend this particular vegetarian option. However, I hope other choices on the menu might be better.

They are always closing down half their menu after the lunch rush. Can't get fries, falafel, cauliflower, etc. after 1pm.

I had the gyro sandwich and fries. The drink machine had no ice on a hot summer day. The sandwich was good fries were hot but had a weird seasoning on them. I will not be returning servers were not very friendly it was dim in there.

First visit, May 2023. It was a great experience. The staff were nice. The service was really fast. And the food was really good. I had Chicken Schwarma, rice, pita, and hummus. It was around $12 plus a tip. They don't skimp on portion sizes either. Will be returning!

Recommend: Chicken Shawarma over riceAmazing value and portion. Chicken was meaty, smoky and well prepared. Rice was aromatic.

Great food and service! First time here today and the staff offered recommendations on their top items. The chicken shawarma on rice was excellent, specially on a cold, rainy day.

Amazing falafel. Amazing hummus. Lunch crowd is rowdy but enough tables for everyone interested. A bit loud when busy. Staff looked busy but not stressed, all smiles. A bit pricey but worth it if you've got a craving.
