Sahara Cafe - Thirst Quenching Fare
More often than not, I am "in the mood for something healthy" to eat which can be a challenge when finding an affordable restaurant on the Westbank. Sahara Cafe, located at 401 Realty Dr in Gretna always meets that requirement. Delicious, healthy combos made with middle eastern flavors always leaves me feeling satisfied and not overdone. Located next to a Middle Eastern grocery (definitely worth shopping at), this family owned restaurant is simple and sparse. Don't let its humble appearance fool you - the food is fantastic. Recently, Kevin and I took our friend for lunch (or rather, he did. He foot the bill!) and are happy to say, he enjoyed it just as much as we did. We started the meal off with some meat stuffed grape leaves, that come with a light yogurt based dip. With two a piece, this appetizer was gone in no time. The combination of a warm entree and a cool sauce is something I can't get enough of. These grape leaves are small and don't feel like too much,
