Since 2007
A Heritage of Hospitality
At Sahara Middle Eastern Eatery, we believe that authentic hospitality begins with the heart. Since 2007, our family has been dedicated to preserving the rich culinary traditions of the Middle East, serving up fresh falafel, shawarma, kabobs, and family recipes served with warm hospitality in the heart of Albuquerque.
Serving Our Community With Compassion
At Sahara Middle Eastern Eatery, hospitality extends beyond the dining room. Recently featured by KOB 4 News, Sahara gained widespread attention for helping feed people experiencing homelessness while treating everyone with dignity and respect.
For the Khalil family, serving others has never been about publicity. It's simply a reflection of the values that have guided the restaurant for generations.

What Our Guest Are Saying
Great food, I love the veggie sampler entree and that the pita bread comes with grill marks.
- Amanda L.
There’s no doubt about it, this is the best Mediterranean restaurant in Albuquerque, their food is top tier, delicious and tender. The customer service is exceptional as well, they also sell Dubai Chocolate at a reasonable price, I’m going to say that the Dubai Chocolate at this facility is the best I’ve ever had! 5 stars all around, I’ll definitely be back! - Ross P.
If you haven't eaten here, then you are missing out. Incredible food!
