Vibe: Ambiance, an unfortunate sob story

The vibe at Sahara Falafel leaves more to be desired. It's cramped, unkempt, with a persistent odor sticking to the air, robbing it of any semblance of ambiance. The exterior and interior seem equal parts worn out and in dire need of sprucing up. If you're thinking romantic date night? It's best you reconsider.

  • No Views

    Location looks worn out inside and out, needs improvement.

Perks: Steadfast service in a parking drought

On the perks front, the staff stands tall, with reviews gushing about their attentive service and friendly demeanor. The restaurant does a good job accommodating different dietary preferences with an array of vegetarian options. Gripes remain, though, about the limited parking and the snug dining area not being group-friendly.

  • Great For Diets

    Many vegetarian options; praised as diet-friendly and accommodating.

  • Bad For Groups

    Cramped inside during busy nights, making group dining uncomfortable.
