Another Sahara that’s dry
Up the street from Caribe, Banana Leaf and Nanjie, Middle Eastern restaurant Sahara opened Sunday. A narrow deli-like area opens into a spacious two-story restaurant with full wraparound balcony. There looks to be room for more than 100 diners, with a private room for 50. The decor includes a fresco of dancing horses, a stage (belly dancing?), good lighting, and ceremonial swords.
The opening saw a strong diplomatic turnout, including the ambassadors of Jordan, Tunisia and Iraq. I am no expert on Middle Eastern food but a festive mood, an extensive buffet and plenty of interesting people made it a good night. And men dancing with swords seem much safer in a place that does not carry alcohol.
