Sahara Cuisine Market - Kenmore

This place is literally disgusting the clientele and owners alike. No sense of hygiene or sanitation. Completely irresponsible and negligent. No one was wearing their masks and that was the least of the issues. Wouldn't be surprised if half the COVID cases in Buffalo started here. The owners have no sense of how to run a business. Waited in line for 15 minutes as they conversed with the woman ahead of us who TOOK OFF HER MASK TO LICK HER FINGERS TO SEPARATE THE PLASTIC BAGS. WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL. If that's what's happening in the grocery store, I don't want to know what the hell is happening in the restaurant.

After stepping foot in this sanitary nightmare, I feel like I need to bathe in hand sanitizer. I actually am shocked at the level of negligence demonstrated by this place. There were probably about 10 people in the store including the guy behind the register and approximately 0% of them were wearing masks/wearing them appropriately. We walked in here on a whim and we made a huge mistake. We waited in line for 15 minutes as the customers chatted up the cashier and the lady in front of us (who was definitely in a high risk group of contracting COVID) pulled her mask down to LICK HER FINGER to get a plastic bag to put her groceries in. She also just blatantly walked in front of as we were waiting on line and put her groceries on the counter and then proceeded to try to pay for them with a NYS Medicaid card. What on earth is happening right now.

Great authentic food. Plan on staying a while, all the food is made fresh, nothing is pre-made. The owner brought us tea, and Iranian bread, for free. He seems like a truly nice person. When you eat here, you are entering his home. We had Hummus, Baba Ghanosih, chicken shawarma Wrap and a Fallefel platter, all for $25! Wow. We have been here before and will be going back. The owner also owns Shawarma City on NFB.

Great foods at reasonable prices. Very friendly staff. Plus… A market full of delicacies.

This place was taken over by Shawarma City. I don't know why they haven't changed their signage. The shawarma is the best in western N.Y. and very affordable. The pickle they put in the sandwiches is to die for! Spicy, vinegary, just amazing. I just wish they sold it in smaller quantities then a #10 can. This place also includes a small grocery store that sells middle eastern foods, spices and halal meats. Good place for hijabs too.
