*Closed in the summer, check online for hours* Our favorite Mediterranean spot! Their lunch special is one of the best deals in town. Make sure to try the Shwarma Beef and Shwarma Chicken, and also get extra white sauce!

Incredible shawarma's and Sahara chicken. Creamy hummus and a fantastic garlic sauce make this a ritual. Lines here are often out the door at lunch time. The only downfall is that they close for 2 months every summer to go on holiday back to Lebanon.

Sahara is the best Mediterranean food in Lexington. Check online before you go because the owners shut down for several months for travel.

Make no mistake, this place puts the quality of its food before anything else. Fresh ingredients are used to make refreshingly authentic Mediterranean dishes at a surprisingly affordable price. Order made-from-scratch Middle Eastern cuisine like shawarma, falafel or kebabs, with sides of rice or hummus for one of the healthiest and tastiest meals in town.

Best Mediterranean food anywhere. I crave food from this place. Get there early (like lunchtime) because they run our every day. Also closed much of the summer, so check on hours before you go!
