Sahara, Brooklyn, New York

While visiting my sister in Brooklyn she brought us to her favorite Mediterranean restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised by how cheap and how good the food was. It was casual sit down restaurant which featured many Mediterranean favorites.

House Salad with feta, tomatoes, and onions, the dressing was a light vinaigrette and the cheese was so creamy I couldn't stop eating this salad. This is coming from someone who doesn't enjoy salad.

Kibbeh, deep fried croquettes filled with meat and covered with bulgur wheat. This was the best Kibbeh I have ever eaten. The filling was hot and the spices permeated the Kibbeh. The bulgur wheat shell was crunchy and I finished every whole morsel.

Lamb in a garlic saffron tomato sauce, the sauce had so much flavor and the lamb was very tender. This dish was a hit with the table also.

With the huge salad and Kibbeh as an appetizer my sister and I split the mixed grill. It featured lamb chops and various grilled meats. All the meats were seasoned very well and it was a great finish to the meal.
