Been few years since I visited my local Sahara Grill, so I decided to take my Mrs for a birthday dinner. I entered the restaurant immediately approached by staff and got a seat. My waiter was Aqib he was very friendly and polite. We ordered the pepper stake and porter house steak, which was awesome, with great taste and quality, and finished with a toffee apple, which crumble my favourite. The restaurant has a great atmosphere for friends and family but the staff really make all the difference like Aqib he looked after me and did a fantastic job so keep Up the great service will be back soon Had another trip on valentines day with my Mrs since we hadn't been for a while and yes my favourite waiter Ridwan was zipping around ensuring the customers were getting the best experience. Today we were served by Aqib and Yahya both very polite and friendly as always towards the end Yahya mentioned they do Karak Chai and requested us to try it and wow amazing was the best karak chai I've had absolutely amazing it great to be surrounded by great service and these guys are really polite and friendly. It was another great visit thanks to the amazing staff great atmosphere for couples and family recommended to all to go there and try there dishes keep Up the great work team

Review (04/03/2025): I celebrated my birthday dinner here last night, and the food was absolutely fantastic! My neighbor and I ordered short ribs with rice & gravy, chicken steak with yellow rice and coleslaw, mixed fried rice with a side of sauce, and a delicious portion of dynamite shrimp. For drinks, we had an orange Tango, mango frappe, tea, and lemon water. Dessert was a treat – the rich chocolate mousse cake and the warm apple crumble with custard were both incredible. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked – we were pleasantly surprised by how good it all tasted! The restaurant was quiet due to Ramadan, but the service was outstanding. A big thank you to Azhar, Redwan (the manager), and the staff member with glasses – all were very welcoming, friendly, and even opened the door for us on our way out, which was a lovely gesture. We paid 110.70, which was excellent value for such a wonderful birthday dinner. We’ve been here before, and each visit has been a great experience. It’s always nice to find a place that consistently delivers excellent food and warm service – looking forward to come back again soon!

Hi there, I’m truly sorry to hear what happened to you — that sounds like a horrible experience, and no one should ever feel that unwell after a meal. Your health absolutely comes first, and it’s important that your experience is looked into properly. I wish you a full and fast recovery. At the same time, I want to speak honestly as someone who loves this restaurant and has always had a good experience here. I’ve been coming for a long time, and the food has always been fresh, the service respectful, and the place clean. One thing I really respect is that the restaurant pauses service during prayer times, and this actually helps keep things more hygienic. It gives the staff time to step away, wash their hands, reset properly, and return to service with care. I think that shows real discipline and cleanliness — not something every place does. Of course, if something went wrong on the day you visited, then it should absolutely be investigated and corrected. No place is above accountability. But I also believe it’s important to share the full picture, especially when there are good people behind the scenes doing things right most of the time. Wishing you strength and healing — and hoping this situation brings both clarity and improvements where needed.

Had a great experience at the restaurant! The food was delicious and well-presented, but what really stood out was the service. Mr Anas was fantastic—super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. His warm and professional attitude made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend, and will definitely be back!

We had an incredible experience! The decor was stunning, the food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. A special thanks to Janjua for taking such great care of us. We also had a lot of fun with the robotic food delivery truck. What a great touch!

Really nice dinner with the family. We got given the vip room and service from Azhar was excellent. He went above and beyond and was very attentive. We ordered Sahara platters, bbq burgers and T-bone steak. Ended with a delicious chocolate pudding with custard.
