Sahara Cafe

by Carlene C.

If you are into the Hookah scene then Sahara's is a great place in Pomona to check out.Sahara's has a small menu that features some Persian favorites and they also have a nice selection of cold and hot beverages. They have the normal selection of favors for the hookah which include some favorite such as Rose, Melon and Apple. I like ALL FRUIT because it taste like Gummy Worms... yum! In the summer months, Sahara's can get quite crowded with teenagers trying to act like they are hitting it for the first time. They also have a 1 drink minimum during the summer months so remember to hydrate accordingly.

I like to hookah and since this place is near by I like it even more.The only drawback to this place is that in the summer time when school is out, the place is packed friday nights and weekends with teenie boppers. Seems like there isn't an age policy in effect here and there is a one drink minimum.The food is ok but I did get allergic reactions from 2 of their dishes so maybe its safe to say stick to the hookah =)

Number 1 rule about this place is that the food blows. I'm talking about a star status handed out by me. Well, if you're really drunk coming out from some party, that's a different story, you might even think my ramen is all star.Food blows, but why got there? Well my friend, this place is all about the Hookahs and also the cup of hot chocolate. Well after-all, they have the one minimum drink whether you're sucking on those fruity flavor pipes or not.This joint has been around for quite awhile, well it was pretty brand new back when I first started high school, so most of us used to come here on school nights or weekends. It's where the honeys are, right. Besides, my high school was just down the street, no bro, it was neither Garey nor Ganesha. So the other day I came by and relived the old high school days with the old buds. It sure was a long time ago, but it did felt like it was only yesterday. Of course, we ordered the hot chocolate, and they're actually pretty good for a place like this. Puffed a little of the hookah with the apple flavor or what not, I don't even know anymore. Tried to make silly holes and shapes, then blowing them into the cups like the good old times. Maybe we did puffed a little too much, after all we don't even smoke and we started coughing. Then that's why we realized we're not the same anymore.So remember rule number one which is to stay away from the food and order the hot chocolate only. Word?

Diana: "Hi, table for 4 please!"Host: "Uhhh, how long ya gonna be?" Diana: *puzzled* What's that supposed to mean? *starts talking in arabic..angrily*Host: *starts talking back in arabic*So, my friend Diana didn't give a clear explanation as to what was said between her and the host, but nonetheless, we were seated in about 5 minutes. Now, hookah (nargilah in Hebrew) is not exactly my favorite, but we were all pretty hungry so we ordered different appetizers.Baba ganoush: ***Hummus/Pita: ***Falafel: **     (Yeah, it was average.)Tabbouleh: ***Baklava: ***The ambience was pretty cool, and service was fairly quick. (Thanks to Diana, probably).Good times!

I used to go here all the time..until it got WIGGITY WACK!!!! Back in the day there was only a $10 min. only on weekends, but now it's on the daily. Also the people that work here pretty much suck, the last time I went here was in Sep. 07 on a weekday, not a busy night..but the servers paid little/no attention to us. We had to ask them repeatedly to bring our orders out. The food sucks..i'll admit the hot chocolate is good, but NO REFILLS! ...not even for soda!!! How lame..i mean considering we already have to pay the min. per person the least they could do is give an effin' refill for your drink!After all that bad service and how much you pay..this place is definitely not worth it, especially considerin that it's located in P-town!

one of the boringest places ive ever been to. its cool for the first 3 minutes your there but then quickly turns into a nightmare.they have awful arabic music/vids playing. the owner watches everyone like a hawk and makes you feel like you've just joined Al Quieda.

i concur-this place is better for the hookas than the food. although the chicken breast place is sooo good. as an ex-employee i would say that the reason there is a $10 dollar minimum spending no refills  is because, if they didn't have it, there would be dozens of cheap-ass  kids in there, taking up tables and sharing 1 hooka among 5 people.   if you wanna be cheap, go to one of those ghetto hooka bars in anaheim.
