    Amazing Falafel and Shawarma! Sahara Falafel in Little Arabia is a hidden gem! The falafel here is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, full of flavor. The shawarma is tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The hummus is creamy, with just the right touch of spice, and the fresh salad brings everything together. The portions are generous, and the quality is top-notch. If you’re in Anaheim and craving authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, this is the place to be. Highly recommend giving them a try!

    I’ve had my fair share of falafel and this place honestly has the BEST falafel I’ve ever eaten in my life. The hospitality is also so incredibly kind and sweet. Thank you so much for the experience. I look forward to coming back again the next time I visit the west coast

    Open until 2am daily. Falafels cooked to order and made fresh daily. Service was great, super friendly. A little toe pricier but flavors were good. There isn’t much around that opens late, so it’s nice to have a spot to go.
