Sahara Restaurant in Michigan City, IN - A Local Dining Establishment in La Porte County, Indiana with THE BEST Mediterranean Cuisine!

Last week Jeff & I had a few errands to run at Lighthouse Place Premium Outlet Mall in Michigan City, Indiana .

We had just left our office in Valpo and it was already dinner time (so we were hungry). One of our clients who is a manager of one of the stores at the mall suggested a place for us located just a few blocks from the outlet mall, on the way there, we talked to another client who also raved about this restaurant and it's food, later on Facebook->more friends of ours raved!

Sahara restaurant is located at 1701 Franklin Street in Michigan City, IN 46360

Looks like many NW Indiana folks think this->

Sahara Restaurant 1701 Franklin St. Michiagn City, IN 46360

 

We were very fortunate to have the owner (Moe) as our waiter for our first dining experience here!

The sampler dinners allow you to pick 4 cold and 4 hot dishes to share!

We chose :)

  • Sahara’s Famous Dates : Feta cheese stuffed dates and pomegranate reduction
  • Cucumber Napoleon : Fresh cucumber slices topped with hummus and feta
  • Greek Isle Salad : Romaine, tomato, cucumber, sumac onions topped w/gyro & feta with red wine vinegar
  • Cheese Plate : Sided with Mediterranean olives & pickles. Perfect starter

and then came :)

  • Chicken Shawarma : Marinated chicken topped with sumac onions served on a bed of hummus
  • Sahara’s Shrimp & Crab Cake:Handmade & filled w/original spices, exotic peppers top w/lemon dill aioli

  • Grape Leaves (Warak Dawali)Seasoned rice & beef hand rolled in grape leaves sided w/homemade yogurt

  • Falafel : Vegetable bean patties deep fried and served with tahini

The service was superb, the atmosphere musical, the food fresh and delicious and we got a sampling of what we are going back for next time :)

Lighthouse Place Premium Outlet Mall in Michigan City, Indiana

Northwest Indiana has a great outdoor Mall near the Lake in Michigan City called Lighthouse Place Premium Outlets that is worth careful consideration for visiting if you are in the area!

With over 120 Stores of Brand names For Less, we rarely pay retail anymore without checking here first.

Labor Day weekend is their annual sidewalk sale where clearance prices are even more drastically reduced... ( i.e. last summer I found a Burberry Ladies sleveless cotton shirt in my size for THREE DOLLARS ).

This week we visited the outlet to do some shopping and although the weather was cloudy, the Mall was busy even on a weekday!

Should you visit this Mall - Stop off First at their welcome center picture  for a map and directory of all the shops and also visit their website to sign up online to receive notice of special events and coupons!
