We dined on a Thurs. evening. My husband heard from a Lebanese friend that food was good so we gave it a try. The place looks more like a dining hall. Not that there's anything wrong with that! Lots of long tables, specifically designed for large families & groups. There's a stage which the waitress told us there is dancing and entertainment on Fri.&Sat. nights - and appears they host weddings due to the size. We were seated promptly and asked if we would be smoking a hookha that evening. I guess Sarah gets around the smoking bylaw by having fruit/herbs smoked in them. Since we don't smoke, we were seated at the far left at these red vinyl booths on risers. (the seats need re-placing or upholstering due to a few burn holes and worn seams). We also saw ashes on the floor next to our booth from prior guests... staff should have saw that when re-setting. The evening was quiet with only a few other tables in a very large space (we were table #100!) - so the few smokers at the other end did not bother us. However, I think on very busy nights...those with smoke sensitivity should probably stay away. With regards to the food - we tried 5 plates from the appetizer section to get a feel for the place; Fatoush salad (small) , Hummos Beyrouti, Fried Kibbeh, Calamari and the Warak inab bil zeit. All were good. The salad a nice change from the typical Greek or Ceasar; the hummous was elevated from the usual style...a must try; the Kibbeh -- looked like little footballs - meat/filling inside a bit dry - but tasty -- would have been nice if they served it with some yogurt sauce - the Calamari was battered and fried like onion rings...not sure why - would it have been better/more authentic to have the rings just saute'd in oil & garlic?? -- and the Warak are very similar to Greek Dolmades. Overall we were satisfied. We each tried the Lebanese beer -- like a Pilsner. 5 dishes a bit much - took home the leftovers. Cost with tip $85. Nice service. Will try the kabobs next time.

We asked a friend for a suggestion for a Lebanese restaurant. He sent us to Sahara 'a palace and I'm very grateful. We really enjoyed the food it was fresh and well seasoned. The service was attentive but not overpowering. We will be back.

Everything was excellent however we were billed for a dish that was never brought out (grape leaf rolls) and we never noticed till afterwards, so basically paid for something we never ate (11$)

My wife and I had a great time, we tried hookah for the first time and thought that was fun, the waitress was super friendly and helpful. The food was awesome and the portions were so big that we could have ordered just 1 plate to share. We have now planned to return for our parents anniversary for some more Swarma. Feels like a cool and hip place, definitely recommended.
