Fodor's Expert Review Sahara

The menu at this Middle Eastern restaurant is a bit more sophisticated than that of its neighbors. Within the stone building with its landmark round tower is a spacious interior with stone floors and arches, wooden tables, and a centerpiece water cascade. Follow the excellent mezze (local salads) with traditional skewers of grilled meat, baked lamb, or one of the fish or chicken dishes. The Jordanian mansaf (a mix of rice, pine nuts, and pieces of lamb cooked with aromatic herbs) is an interesting discovery.
