I agree, Jan. The falafel was outstanding.

Just and fair review. Holyland Cafe has the same type of tabooli salad and I’ve grown quite accustomed to it and now crave it on occasion. And, though not a cozy atmosphere at Saraha at least it is bright , fresh, and clean looking. I really enjoyed the falafel.

Nice review! You might want to edit it though to correct the spelling of the restaurant’s name though, so they can get the benefit of this positive review through Urbanspoon, Google, etc. Just a thought.

good point, I guess it’s just not something I’d order again!

Tabouli that is mostly parsley is typical of Lebanon, Palestine, etc. Though not in the US, where a bulgar-heavy version has predominated.

Otherwise, the sandwiches at Sahara are quite tasty. The portion sizes are enormous (too big in fact). The Shrak chicken – which is wrapped in a crepe not a pita – is a favorite although I have decided not to order one to go anymore, as I end up eating the whole thing because it is so yummy and then regret it!
