Sahara Restaurant in Heidelberg

I've never had felafel like that in my life before, all the food was exceptional honestly don't miss this outage

The best restaurant in Heidelberg.

We went for lunch here seeing the very positive reviews, and regretted it right after. In a meat platter, lettuce made up more than half of the plate. I have gone to Lebanese restaurants in Germany, and this came out as one of the least favourite. I guess the ratings are because of the location. The waiter was very rude, and that too at a place where tourists are not new.

We had Sahara platter. The meat is a bit raw but very tender. Heidelberg beer has a nice aroma and taste good.

Excellent food, very tasty. Some main dishes are shareable, and the juices, especially the orange juice, are delicious.

Se detuvo a cenar aquí. Un excelente kebab de cordero con ensalada, chip y extras. Buen vino blanco, pero el tinto no era genial. Casual y sin necesidad de reservar.

I had Falafel sandwich yesterday and this morning I got very bad food poisoning. The food yesterday was old and not so fresh like it used to. I won’t be going there again.

If you like or love Lebanese food or just want to try something new, then you definitely need to try this restaurant. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Food is delicious and very flavorful. It was our first time, and we were pleasantly surprised.

Great food on the main street. If you don't like hustle and bustle, this isn't the place for you.

Very tasty and friendly staff! We'd love to come back. 🍛

Very friendly service 😊👍, food was also very tasty 😋

Incredible. We sit down to eat something relaxed. We each want to order a large shawarma wrap and a drink. Then we are told that we can't stay there: if you order wraps, you only get them in your hand and are not allowed to eat them in the restaurant. We would have spent a total of €11 per person and that's not enough for them? Absolutely impossible behavior from the owners. Never again!

Loved the kebabs, tried chicken and falafel! Best fries too, worth it.

The food is cold, the quantity is small, and the price is high. The service is excellent, and the place is clean and tidy

Omg.. if you love labenese food, this place actually rocks that food! So so good, they even made my special to mix cheese and Za‘taar for the Manaqish 😍 Absolutely loved this place! Staff very kind, too!

Excellent chicken kebabs with salad, hummus and sauces. Large portions and friendly service.

delicious experience at Restaurant Sahara, we ordered Tabouleh, the Sahara plate, and Shawarma. Everything was made with love and tasted amazing! A true delight for all the senses. A dining experience at Sahara restaurant, we ordered tabbouleh, the Sahara plate and shawarma. Everything was prepared with love and simply delicious! A real pleasure for all senses.

Muy buena selección de platos clásicos. la ternera con hummus era particularmente bueno. servicio perfecto y ambiente. volvería.

So, the restaurant, my order wait time is long.

Very rude!!! The server at the counter (also an immigrant) made fun of me for not knowing German - and when I tried to communicate something I wanted he lashed out and acted uninterested! Then when I wanted to pay with my EC card - he made a huge face and said I’ll charge you extra for it! Please avoid - especially tourists and locals alike!

Tried falafel plate. It was crunchy and delicious. It liked the speed and the taste

El restaurante es uno de los mejores restaurantes de la ciudad. Realmente lo recomiendo. Prueba con sus chicos de Fatoush... es increíble. Es bueno para familias con niños pequeños.

Food really wasn't worth the money. The minced meat skewers were ice cold and tasted like a McDonald’s burger party. Kebab should be left to those who can.

The food was ok and the prices are fair.

Very nice service and very good food.

The chicken is raw and got sarmonella.

Sharwarma is very tasty but you won't get full if you're really hungry then I recommend a kebab Otherwise it tastes great and I would make it again

Expensive.. The flavor of the food is very ordinary. The service is excellent

Fantastisk velsmagende mad, hyggelige lokaler - søde tjenere ☺️ Maden faldt i hele familiens smag (vi er mellem 54 - 79 år). Vi kommer meget gerne igen 👍🏻

We absolutely loved the Sahara Restaurant in Heidelberg! The food was incredibly tasty and the portions were really generous. There is a great selection - whether vegan, different types of meat or classic Arabic dishes, there is something for everyone here. The grilled food was a particular highlight, but the fries were also delicious! The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the service was really quick. The atmosphere is very pleasant, with nice seating both inside and outside. The location in the middle of the city is also perfect – central and easily accessible. Particularly positive: The restaurant is also child-friendly and is ideal for a family visit. You can tell that people cook and work here with a lot of heart. We'll definitely be back!

It was very tasty! Large portions 👍

Mega great restaurant, super great ambience, very, very tasty food, value for money. Absolutely recommended!!!!

We were there spontaneously at lunchtime. Had to wait a few minutes for your free table. Food was tasty, portions relatively large. The service team was very friendly.

Great Lebanese cuisine, good wine, perfect value for money! Unfortunately, the ambience is a bit restless and loud.

Awesome shawarma with fries and rice. Good place for a dinner date.

I had high expectations of the “Sahara Restaurant”, but was disappointed: • The food was tasteless. The portions were small in relation to the price. •The staff seemed rather unfriendly. •Unfortunately the price-performance ratio is not right at all. There are definitely better oriental restaurants in Heidelberg - won't go there again.

I've been there twice and it was really delicious. The order was taken quickly and everything was done very, very well

Very tasty food at a reasonable price. Great service despite the restaurant being full.

This middle-eastern type restaurant offers very delicious shawarma wraps and good platters. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant looks nice. If you are looking for something to eat in Heidelberg old town, this is always a good choice!

The food was extremely tasty. The service and ambience are also great.

Very tasty food and friendly staff.

Very good food. Authentic taste. My favorite for oriental food.

Nice service, very good food. The lemonade was really good.

Great food, fair prices, super friendly service. Everything was top-notch so far. But unfortunately, the staff kept opening the door, and with the outside temperature at around 11°C, the heavy traffic in the front half of the dining room created an unpleasant draft. Not recommended in cold weather.

Yes, very happy again. Thank you

Very large selection of delicious food, many vegetarian options.

Unbelievable, just TOP again and again. The cuisine is very tasty either way, but here it has simply tasted very, very good for years.

Halebi kebap and babaganush and Arabism Moka and Lebanese 🇱🇧 Wine 🍷 was delicious

Realmente no soy fan de Döner demasiado complejo, pero esta fue una gran experiencia de Shawarma! ¡Y me encantó el humus que agregaron!

★★★★★ – A real piece of Lebanon in Heidelberg! I absolutely loved the Sahara Restaurant! The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, the staff incredibly friendly and attentive. The food is simply fantastic - from the fresh mezze to the juicy grilled meat to the homemade desserts. Every bite was a delight! I was particularly impressed by the quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail in the preparation. The portions are generous and the prices are absolutely fair. If you love Lebanese cuisine or want to try it, you should definitely come here. I will definitely come back!

Very tasty vegetarian appetizer platter. The meat (veal) was also of good quality. It makes sense to reserve in advance, there was no space left.

The food tastes simply amazing!! We ate here on Ramadan. There was free lentil soup, a salad, bread, dips and a bottle of water. Our main course was also excellent! Always happy to come

Once eaten, never forgotten! The shawarma plate was really outstanding. The meat was tender, perfectly seasoned and super juicy. The side dishes were fresh and the sauce rounded the whole thing off perfectly. The portion was generous, so you'll definitely be full. Overall, a great restaurant with delicious food at fair prices. If you're looking for authentic oriental cuisine in Heidelberg, you've come to the right place. I'd love to come back!

The restaurant serves great dishes, which is why it is always a destination when we are in Heidelberg. Every order was big enough and very tasty. The service was nice and it was served quickly. We'd love to come back.

Lovely helpful staff (the lady that served us). Large portions (I'm a big guy)

Went there specifically from another city and simply weren't served there. Other people who came after us got their turn before us

Four of us ate here yesterday. Due to the month of fasting, there is rush hour between 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., so plan for a lot of waiting time. Apart from a couple of mix-ups in the order, the service was fine. Our service was super nice and very accommodating (individual rating 5 stars!! :-)). Very solid in taste. Price-performance ratio is OK. Unfortunately, the restaurant is not suitable for larger groups. Still worth a visit. We'll be back.

We ate a chicken chawrma plate but it was not overcooked

Food was super tasty, completely satisfied. Price/performance appropriate.

They use the flag and name of the Lebanese restaurant but there is nothing Lebanese about them, the shawarma is a simple Turkish kebab and the tabbouleh has nothing to do with the Lebanese taste and you have to add olive oil and not cooking oil to the creams

Never again, costs like steak, but you hardly get any meat. Never, ever again Never again

The Sahara on Heidelberg's main street is a real highlight for lovers of oriental cuisine. The kabab is absolutely perfect – juicy, spicy and grilled to perfection. The falafel and shish tawouk are also great, and there is also a refreshing homemade lemonade. Friendly service and fair prices make the visit worthwhile!

Had a great experience at this Lebanese restaurant! The ambiance is lovely, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The portions are generous, and the flavors are absolutely amazing, the best falafel i have ever tried in Germany. The menu is huge, offering a wide variety of options. Definitely worth a visit!

Great restaurant, friendly staff and super delicious food, we were very satisfied

The food portions, taste, design, and price were great. We ordered a two-person plate plus a salad, and we were very satisfied and full. The waitress at our table was super friendly and nice. The only thing they could improve is cleanliness because the table we sat at was still wet, which was unpleasant.

Went here for the second time today and it was delicious again. The food was consistently fresh, tasty and well portioned. The “Sahara Plate” is highly recommended, here you have a little bit of everything. The service was very friendly and polite. Two small points of criticism: 1. You can save yourself the halloumi salad. It was a bit disappointing because it was almost all iceberg lettuce. It still tasted good, but it was too expensive for what you got. 2. it was quite cold in the restaurant and therefore a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise everything was great, we'll be back.

Delicious lebanese food. Fluffy falafel, zahtar and lentil soup. Recommended.

Excellent Lebanese/Arabic restaurant with authentic food. I can only recommend.

The food was very tasty, the staff friendly and attentive. The selection was good and the price-performance ratio was also convincing. We'd love to come back!

I was there today with my almost 2-year-old daughter and we were welcomed in a very child-friendly manner. Even though the little one didn't always sit well, it wasn't perceived as a nuisance, thank you for that!!! The food was excellent and a large portion. At lunchtime we got a free seat without having to wait. The garlic sauce and a spicy sauce with the 2 meat skewers were fantastic... everything was simply delicious. Gladly again.

Very nice atmosphere. Eat delicious food. You can really enjoy the food

So let's be honest... that was by far the worst Turkish pizza of my life... and I've already eaten quite a few... the dough was as thick as a pizza... tasted like old mutton... no way... the Adana Dürüm were just as nasty... and the bread out of the bag is a disgrace given the expensive price... 2adana and a Turkish pizza for €24 so I'd rather go to Yufka and get a classic one drunk kebab... never again Sahara... really a cheek... whoever goes there will definitely be lucky to eat a burger with Hans...

Very tasty food, we were here for the first time and I can say it is just great! The restaurant itself is modern, but at the same time warmly decorated. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Location perfect in the city center. Price/performance good We'd love to come back!

If i could give it 50 stars, i definitely would! I visit heidelberg just to eat here. Cant recommend enough

We came to eat in the evening. There were many people and we queued for a long time. We ordered a set meal for two. At first, the order was wrong. Later, the waiter was so nice that she gave us the wrong order. The food was delicious, the barbecue was very tasty, and the service attitude was very good. Highly recommended!

1.I ordered a chicken burger and got a cheeseburger 2. My burger had no taste, McDonald's tastes its burger better. 3. More salad like fries 4. After that, the food came up today. Not recommended. 👎

The three of us went to the Sahara Restaurant on a Saturday evening, without a reservation. Had to wait a short time, but received a very friendly welcome. Overall, the service was attentive and warm. 👍 The shawarma plate wasn't huge, but enough to fill you up. The meat was seasoned deliciously, although not exceptionally so, and I particularly enjoyed the fries. 🍟 The price was just okay for the amount on the plate. A small detail: If we had had children with us, their eyes would probably have been glued to the big TV - there were music videos playing, sometimes more, sometimes less adult-friendly, with quite loud music. 📺🎶 Maybe disturbing for some, but overall the atmosphere was still pleasant. The restaurant was busy, which is always a good sign. We had a lovely evening and would come back! 🍽️😋

Very tasty food and friendly staff. Thank you.

Friendly service, delicious food

This oriental restaurant is absolutely recommended! The food is delicious, fresh and full of flavor - you can tell that the cooking here is made with love. I'm particularly enthusiastic about the drink: lemon with mint, which they serve there as a smoothie. It's incredibly refreshing and perfectly prepared. I come here specifically for this smoothie because it is simply unbeatable. A wonderful place to enjoy delicious food and drinks! 😌

The food was ready in about 5 minutes because the plate was huge, the pastes, skewers, everything looked great. I'd love to come back :)

First cream! Good good! Sure, here comes your poem! A plate full of taste, so fine, Schwarma and kebab, it must be a feast. The scent of spices, warm and intense, Makes the heart bloom, so creative. Tender meat that melts in your mouth, With garlic, yogurt, it does it all. Tomatoes and onions, fresh and clear, Give the dish the perfect charm, even. With a pinch of chili, a touch of magic, Every bite becomes true alchemy. A festival of flavors, a true poem, Schwarma and kebab, you are my light! Bon appetit!

Very very tasty. The food came to the table very quickly and warm. Highly recommended

Kebabs were tasty and the service was quite fast.

Everything was fine, it was just too crowded and we had to wait in line.

We were 2 times in this Lebanese restaurant during our visits to Heidelberg during the first week of January, and we had a great time, excellent dishes, even for vegetarians, good drinks too, in addition to beer, friendly and helpful staff and lower prices how affordable. Super recommended!!

We came without a reservation and were still lucky to get a table for 8 people. The food was incredibly good.

A cozy restaurant, with an oriental ambience, Syrian/Lebanese cuisine, quite busy because of the good quality, but the staff is always nice.

Very good Lebanese, fresh and plentiful

Actually 3 1/2 You should definitely make a reservation (you might have to wait...) The ambience is simple... TV large screen national program and language... Food fresh and delicious👌 Prices moderate

Très bon accueil, la vitrine achalandée de très nombreux légumes, aliments et épices donne vraiment envie de goûter à tout. Les plats commandés étaient à la hauteur de nos attentes. Service rapide et sympathique.

Chips and wraps are not allowed to be eaten indoors. I had to leave the restaurant with my children in sub-zero temperatures because these dishes are only sold to take away. Not a nice experience for us.

The two of us spontaneously had dinner there. The restaurant was very busy. Nevertheless, the service was quick and courteous. The selection of dishes is large, there is something for everyone, even vegetarians can fully enjoy it. Our food was delicious and fresh. We were sad when the plates were empty :) Thank you very much, dear Sahara team. We'll be back when we're in Heidelberg!

I put 2 stars because it had very good service and the waiter was polite. From there the place is nothing special and the food is far below average.

Very good value for money. A discovery outside the usual recipes.

Disgusting meat I have never been so disappointed with a meal in my life as I was at this store. Service unfriendly. Enter at your own risk It's better to go to Mahmouds, where quality is very important compared to these cheap ones.

The waiter brought us a dish that we hadn't ordered, which we therefore sent back. After the meal we wanted to pay, of course only for the dishes we ordered. We were then insulted badly by the waiter and the cashier. Never again!

Food was okay, nothing special. We expected authentic shawarma, but it was more like chicken kebab and the fries were a little undercooked.

The food is very tasty, the service is friendly and the atmosphere is nice. But we really didn't like the position of the burger. I wouldn't advise anyone to take it until they change the recipe. The chicken schnitzel itself in the burger is terrible and so is the bun.

Very good food. The Falladel are always freshly made.
