This was the best meal I've had in a long time. The baba ghanoush was so garlicky and smooth, the shawarma was fresh and delicious, the pita was AMAZING...even the fries were perfect. My only regret is not ordering more.

While some of the couches could use replacement, and the alcohol prices are steep, those are the only areas I would suggest improvement. // Edit: They have brand new couches! The place is sanitary, the hookahs are delicious and prepared well, the food is surprisingly amazing, and the staff is attentive and quick. I suggest giving them a try, I’m glad I did! I’ve been back many times. The fries are the best!!
This place is freaking awesome! Not only do they offer showings of pay per view sports but there’s no cover fee, the hookah is very affordable($25), really flavorful Lebanese food until 1:30am, and cool vibes. Literally the most lit highlight of my trip over here.
We were a group of 4 and we have unanimously agreed that this place has terrible customer service and wont be returning here ever again. First of all they do not let you choose a place of your choice even though there is plenty of seats available. After we finally get a table and are enjoying our hookah and food , they keep pestering us by asking if we need more stuff . After the servers third visit , she asks us to order over 75 dollars if we wanted to sit for more time as it was late night . This is atrocious and unacceptable. I have never been to a place where people are asked to leave even when they have stuff on their tables with their hookahs If they had these minmum purchases , they should mention it in the menus or outside the lounge at the entrance ! WORST PLACE ! The food is good no doubt and that is why i visited this place the second time . But not going to do it again
After visiting two other restaurants in the area and promptly leaving due to the terrible vibes and loud music — I finally found Sahara. The music was calm but not overwhelming, the falafel is reasonably priced, and the hot sauce is literally the best thing I’ve tasted in my life (yes, I tried to get the recipie). It’s my first night in the area and BiMi was super nice and friendly and made me feel super welcome (unlike how I felt at the other restirants I visited). I’ll definitely be coming back soon! I don’t smoke hookah, but they have that here too. I appreciate that BiMi offered but wasn’t overly aggressive about it. Overall, 10/10 experience!
