"I had a fantastic meal at Sahara Turkish at 2nd Avenue and 29th Street, and everything from start to finish exceeded expectations. The restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. It’s relaxed and welcoming, the kind of place where you can really enjoy your food without feeling rushed. The meal started with the falafel appetizer, which was excellent — crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. The fresh bread served with olive oil was simple but delicious and perfect for sharing. These starters set the tone for what turned out to be a memorable meal. The lamb chops were absolutely out of this world. Perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor, they were easily the highlight of the evening. The Adana kebab was equally impressive — juicy, well-seasoned, and grilled beautifully. Every bite reflected quality ingredients and careful preparation. To finish, I had the coffee, which was strong, rich, and exactly how it should be. It was the perfect way to end the meal and left a lasting impression. Service was friendly and attentive throughout, adding to the relaxed experience. Overall, Sahara Turkish delivers excellent food, great hospitality, and a comfortable atmosphere. If you’re looking for authentic Turkish cuisine in the neighborhood, this place is absolutely worth visiting."

"It was our first time having Turkish cuisine and we loved every single dish. I'm usually not big on hummus or smoked eggplant, but their dips were absolutely delicious. The cold appetizer plate is perfect for sharing and the portions were very generous. The kebabs and gyros were our favorite-- so soft and tender and flavorful!! We're from Vancouver and the kebabs/gyros here are always dry and overcooked. This place puts Vancouver to shame! Delicious food, delicious deserts and amazing service. My favourite deserts were the rice pudding and the milk custard as recommended by our server! Did not disappoint"

"Our server Nergiz was so nice. She gave incredible recommendations, especially the Majestik Series Turkish Red Wine along with Baklava and Maras Ice Cream for dessert. It was so fun to experience a taste of Türkiye."

"This was the best Turkish food I've had in America in a long time. The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Ebru took great care of us, and we extend our sincere thanks to her. I highly recommend the chicken chops and calamari."
