This unassuming cafe, housed in an old Taco Bell building at 83rd and Metcalf, has the most delicious Middle Eastern and Greek food I've tasted anywhere. The owner, Samir Abuali, learned to cook his tasty dishes at home in Palestine. It's hard to make a list of the Sahara Cafe's best dishes, because everything at Sam's is outstanding. He offers wonderful vegetarian fare as well as his meat-based dishes. He also creates new meals that you'll find featured on a chalk board outside the kitchen.
