Food was pretty good, but wasn't the best lebanese I've ever had, and it's not hard to get it right, espesh the meat. The mixed platter with dips was yummy. Not sure about the atmosphere, something definitely lacking.
Perfect place for a pair of couple who needs spare time after a long working hours. The ambiance is so fantastic and their foods are so tasty. Most especially the desserts are so delicious. Love to go back there.

I think reviewer Kanchij is on the money, but still too generous with their stars.
Starts with the atmosphere. I didn't feel I was in the middle east, but really felt I was in a dodgy restaurant in any backward suburb, anywhere are around the world. I also felt it was rather too big, I appreciate that they can do functions and alike, but when your having diner with your partner and so many table are empty, you lose a lot of the ambiance and removes the word intimate.
Moving on to the food, which I normally love from this part of the world. I tried the Mishawee Skewers of lamb, chicken and kafta, tabouli, hummus, garlic sauce and fries, for about $25 I felt the fries were oily and the chicken and especially the lamb was dry. I appreciate that they prepare meat a lot drier than at other types of restaurants, but this started to get "tough" and un-enjoyable rather than great food.
This was enough for me, whilst my partner had some gelato. I warned her that it wasn't going to be Italian gelato, and the 3 scoops though generous in size wasn't what she had hoped.
Lastly to illustrate how bad things have gone for "Sahara" they have started advertising on Living Social, as a rule I only subscribe to Living Social to know which restaurants are on the downhill slide, desperate to get customers and essential have been ripping off their customers as they can afford to give away 50% off! Worse of the coupon companies, and Sahara's association with them backs up ratings.

I went there as my friend recommend it but I found the place dull and unwelcoming. The guy who was serving us was bit rude as well. I love lam dish but I didn't like their platter. Overall bad service, not so good food .
Approximate cost: $25
This place is unreal, the food is superb and the servings couldn't be bigger! We ordered 3 main meals between 4 people and still couldn't finish everything. I think the tasting plate is a good idea to try a few different starters. This place is very popular for functions as well, so if you are after a quiet and romantic night, maybe just double check with the staff first!

finest way to dine ! I had the best time, i would have to say my favourite restaurant. :)
Approximate cost: $15-40
First time i love a lebanese restaurant and the exotic food was devine and scintillating. We were there on a friday night after 9pm the belly dancer came on and then thier one man band was superb. Recommend highly and very reasonable pricing for a kings feast of a banquet.
Approximate cost: $40
This is one of the Best places to have a meal - nice prices good atmosphere and views. feels very local,they do Lebanese and seafood cuisine in a stunning setting overlooking Brighton Beach
