Most guests recommend trying tasty turkey, shawarma and lamb. Great tea is a decent choice. The high ratings of this restaurant would be impossible without the patient staff. Enjoyable service is something that visitors note in their reviews. As a number of guests state, the decor is dull. The pretty ambiance will be a good addition to nice dishes and good location of Sahara Taste of Arabia. 4.4 is what this place received from the Google rating system.

Great food, great service, and a bit of entertainment by Sultan, the house peacock. I order the chicken kabobs, and the seasoning was excellent. One piece was *slightly* undercooked, but the others came out perfectly, so no stars removed. The portions were ample, and the sweet hot tea was a great way to start the meal. Definitely noting this place for my next visit to TJ. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $200–300 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Chicken Kebbab Plate

Edit 7/15/23: I came back to the restaurant today and had a MUCH better experience with the wait staff and manager. The food was as good or better than I remembered it. Definitely will be returning here. Probably my new favorite location to get Mediterranean food. Been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now and overall I was very happy with the experience and food selection. The marinate on the chicken was absolutely delicious and I enjoyed the hummus and pita bread that they served as our appetizer. Also, it was a nice touch that they give a hot tea when you sit down. For me, the restaurant loses a star for their service. Our waiter wasn’t the most friendly and seemed to have a bit of an attitude. Also, for Tijuana the prices seemed a little expensive. I think I could have had a similar meal in San Diego for cheaper and/or same price. I would like to return and hopefully have a better experience with a different server, but I think there are plenty of other Mediterranean restaurants around to try before I return.

Delicious & authentic middle eastern faire in Tijuana!! We enjoyed all that we ordered - the gyro, falafel, saffron rice, lamb/beef kebabs, hummus, lentil soup… so yummy!! The best service! Thank you Saeed!! Meal type Dinner

Arabic café without alcohol. To be honest, I'm not thrilled. I've had shawarma that tasted better. Kebab is not super either. But you can eat it, plus a live peacock adds to the charm. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $1–100

Exquisite!!! This place is my getaway when traveling to Tijuana. All the flavors lacking that authentic taste in most Arabic restaurants across the border found it’s way here. Everything about this place is amazing. My take on the selections of choice: The Lintel Soup is deliciously creamy with the perfect bite of onions and arugula blended with the right amount garlic giving it a nice warm nourishing satisfaction on a brisk evening. If you like cheese dishes you’ll marry the Cheese Burek appetizer here. The crispy fillo dough is followed with a mouth filling bite of warm creamy cheese. Keep a napkin close by. The Baba Ghanouj has a roasty flavor with dripping olive oil and tahini sauce topped off with crunchy roasted pine nuts giving it a memorable taste to the palettes. Savory juicy chicken and beef bites with the Shish and Kafta Tawook dishes combined with an amazing rice dish with raisins and carrots topped with more roasted pine nuts may make you drool and blush with every bite. The Ambiance: From the inside to out, the owner didn’t hold back from spending on the architectural interior Arabic design features with quality fixtures and lighting and fun Arabic music playing in the background. Don’t be surprised when you see the restaurant’s mascot, Sultan, a beautiful live peacock roaming around for a bite and flaunting his beautiful colorful feathers, making sure Sahara’s guests are eating well with entertainment. If you enjoy Arabic tobacco they’re constantly bringing in new flavors to savor on their 4’ tall hookah’s to have along with a perfect cup of Arabic teas and an array of sinful sweets after your feasting. Hat’s off to Chef Saeed who was visited by Mexican food critics on television and to the super friendly owner Amaar for providing a clean, tasty and entertaining experience! This truly is a taste and ambiance of Arabia in Mexico. Bravo!!! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $1–100

Friendly service, owner is a really nice guy, he’ll make sure to ask you how the food is, complimentary tea, they’ll have you feeling like a king. So happy to have found a solid option for middle eastern food in Tijuana. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Sahara restaurant is superb! The hookah was delightful with a range of flavor options, the food was utterly delicious (although very slow to come out of the kitchen - but worth the wait with hookah and appetizers in the mean time). The staff are friendly and multilingual, the peacock that wanders the outdoor terrace is beautiful and friendly. They speak Spanish, English and Arabic. The owner is Turkish by way of San Diego and stopped by to talk with us for a while. Will absolutely return in the future!

Great Jordanean resturant right in the heart of Tijuana downtown. They even have a beautiful live peacock just wondering. We arrived at 9pm on a Thursday night and the owner was extremely nice. He served us delicious mixed plate and hookah. Highly recommended to anyone to come to this wonderful restaurant. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
