Reviews of Sahara Grill Whitechapel
F. t. L.
Sahara Grill is a well established restaurant. Great for families and gatherings. With a large menu there is something for everyone.
S. H.
Sahara Grill Whitechapel has very friendly and polite staff. We went there for a family dinner. I ordered lamb leg steak which was one of the most tender meat I have ever had. Most of us had rice instead of chips which they were happy to accommodate. It was delicious but a bit over-priced for what you receive. As we left, it started to get very busy, as they do takeaways also.The service was swift and we were not kept waiting. Overall, it was a lovely dinner and good portions of food but they could do better on presentation. Also they do not sell alcohol.
Y. M.
Nice place easy to find, just off the main road.
Usually busy, but is nicer when it's quiet. Seating upstairs and downstairs.
Can't go wrong with the burgers if you're not looking to experiment, pictured is the Mex.
Cajun steak is nice too
I'm not into fat chips but I'm told they're decent. Price is reasonable, and service usually good.
S.
Always love the wings and steak here
I’ve been visiting here occasionally when I’m in london since 2013 and it’s still top service and food.
Never lets me down!
S. A.
We ordered the T-Bone Steak with steak chips and Lamb Steak and a mint crisp mojito. I would definitely recommend T-Bone Steak don't have the Lamb Steak. It wasn't cooked properly and didn't have much flavour. On other hand the TBone Steak was flavourful. The steak chips were okay. The mojito was good too. The food is halal. The staff were very friendly. However, I am giving a 3 stars because I don't think the price is justified for the taste of food. I would for sure order the TBone Steak though that was good! Overall it was good but I wouldn't order the lamb steak again.
G. F.
Went here for iftar and it was delicious 😋 great service as well as praying space and good prices.
f. k.
Ordered the lamb fillet steak, Sahara XXl burger, t bone and few kids meals. Food was average, flavours were nice and catered to an asian palate, Sahara xxl was okay, chips were plain, steak had lots of seasoning and gravy which overpowered a thin piece of meat therefore wouldn’t really consider it a steak meal. The main meal portion sizes were good however the kids meals were quite small. Decor was good and family friendly restaurant. Overall I don’t feel the price is justified.
S. P.
Lovely service. Even though we arrived slightly late for our reservation, we were sat straight away and our food arrived promptly. One thing to note is that there isn't a available lift. But all in all Sahara Grill is a wonderful place to dine with the family. Many thanks to the staff.
A. G.
Foods decent, I don't get why they make you wait so long when the place is empty? It just makes them look stupid as the waiter said "we are just checking if we have a table for you" and I the whole place was empty?? Also please don't be so tight with the chilli sauce, that's the only reason why I come. Your food can be dry so when I ask for it please don't hesitate...I would happily pay for it but don't give me one table spoon of sauce.
L. S. L.
Very friendly staff - was welcomed nicely
Service was quick.
Food was yum 😋 - went with my brother: had the prawn croquettes, rib eye steak (had it well done) and lamb fillet steak( had it medium well) , with Sahara passion mocktail and a coke.
However, it is slightly expensive for the other items on the menu, steak; I get why it's expensive, other items; not so sure why. 🙁
N. A.
First time trying Sahara Grill. Enjoyed the food and drink👌🏼 The staff were super welcoming and friendly too. Great customer service!
M. R.
Overall - not bad but not wowed either - 6/10. Got the sahara chicken steak. Steak itself was small for the price but tasty. Chilli sauce was nice. Service was okay. No ambience in the place. "Fresh" orange juice was probably two weeks old.
N. :.
What an meal enjoyed every bit the server Umair was amazing kind and polite made sure we had an great visit, staff like this want me to come back again. A+++++
S. C.
Beautiful restaurant, their food is delicious, especially the steak! Customer service is amazing/the staff are very friendly and helpful, have been there a couple of times with my husband and we definitely plan on going again when we get the chance.
S. “. A.
This is my favourite place to celebrate anything! My family always select Sahara for event or any occasion for celebrations. We have never ever had any complaints with the food, and can honestly say have tried EVERYTHING on their menu! The staff are so polite and attentive, and always helpful to recommend items, as we’ve tried everything, we usually like going for their recommendations! The spice levels are on point, I wish I had more photos. The portions are so accurate, not too much and not too less. The atmosphere is always so friendly and definitely family and children friendly.
S.
The food was brilliant especially the cajun steak. The service was impeccable and staff are willing to go the extra mile to make you feel welcomed.
Definitely recommend and will be revisiting again soon.
C. F. (. A. D.
Credits to the who team at Saharah grill Whitechapel, 5*. Quality or 10* even, Many thanks to Omar.C for our table service. Very kind and patient and reassuring…. My favourite Restaurant
Z. P.
Visited the Whitechapel branch today with some VIPs and we were looked after by the manager Jubran and his staff. Steaks and mocktails were amazing. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would return. Thank you Jubran and his staff.
H. K.
Tasty food full of flavours!
Loved my steak, the way it was done! Not many places can get the texture right!
Sahara wings and the sauce is the best!
Reserve if you are hungry and don't want to wait lol
T. C.
I absolutely love this place, I've been going here for a number of years and they've never dropped the level of service. Food is served promptly even during their busy periods and you're not made to wait 40-45 mins like some places do.
The staff are attentive and polite and always have catered towards customer needs.
My personal favourites are the Porterhouse Steak and Sahara Lamb Leg Sirloin steak, absolutely beautiful!! I'd definitely recommend this place to others.
S. B.
Overrated. The steak itself hasn't been improved at all since last having it in 2017 (was a regular customer prior to 2017). It doesn't justify the price and portion you are paying for. There used to bigger sides and ADDITIONAL sides (now non-existent, pay extra for coleslaw at £4, approx. 6-7 tablespoons worth, not justified) e.g. coleslaw and salad, before the price increase. Upon having being served it, I realised the plates were too small for all the food on it- the gravy was spilling down the sides of the plates. Whitechapel branch seems to always have this problem. The food itself tasted alright. Mushroom sauce is mediocre, a little too salty. Nothing exciting. That being said, Sahara Grill has never failed to cook my steak to my preference. The service is also very good. Overall, service is 5/5, taste 3/5, value 2/5.
A. K.
Went to eat at Sahara Grill to celebrate a Nikah. Between the group of guests we all ordered burgers , steaks and platters. Everything was presented in an appealing manner. I regret not ordering the steak. Next time.
U. M.
Because it's fully halal and you can bea hundred percent certain that the food you're getting is Sharia compliant, it gets 3 stars, otherwise, I'd be giving them 1 or 2.
So, I'll start with the positives: nice environment, nice location, nice building, nice enough staff.
The bad: the air hurts the throat with the amount of chilli in the air. Myself and a friend were coughing away throughout the entire meal. If you LOVE spice, this will be your jam. But if you want food that's flavoured with anything else, then this place might not be your go to. Expect steak: spicy. Burgers: spicy. Chips: spicy. Rice: spicy.
I didn't try the desert, but who knows?
One item on the menu that was a saving grace was the mango frappe (essentially, a lassi, on ice). That was good and helped me finish my spicy steak.
Dear restaurant: steak only needs butter, garlic, rosemary. That's all. Leave all those other masalas out for other items on the menu.
S. A.
So who doesn't love a good steak, I'm talking a nice succulent steak thats flavourful and not dry. Honestly I wouldn't have steak anywhere else, only issue I've had is on occasion the beef steak may have alot of fat :| this branch is the only one worth going in my opinion
M. U.
Service was very poor during Ramadan, even after booking ahead. Also money for food order was taking ahead when food was served half an later for iftar. This was appalling taking the bill money ahead as they customers where stuck. Next time Sahara grill Whitechapel management you need to improve your Ramadhan-Iftar service. Thanks.
M. C.
Delicious!
I’ve eaten at Sahara Grill recenlty - and I was not disappointed! Their Burger is my favourite so far. Made perfectly and delicious! The restaurant is very nice nothing fancy to look at but the food is delicious. I ordered the beef burger. It was the best I ever tasted. The ingredients were nice and fresh. My beef was grilled with fresh onions before it was added piping hot to my burger buns. My friends had the same as me and equally expressed how delicious it was. I am going to try the lamb shawarma next time. And yeah... there most definitely will be a next time.
A. K.
The food was quality went there for iftar. The only downside was that we arrived for half 7 and orders were taken. When time to break fast came had some water and went to the prayer room. The staff members were very rude saying wait 10-15mins to pray we need some time this was the first time seeing such a strange thing . They had no respect for customers time they said just wait for us to finish then we can pray in congregation. 20 of us waiting and we were called to pray next thing you know they had started already we missed surah fatiha how deceiving! Fix up and learn how to talk to customers
D. m.
Omar was really attentive and kept checking up on us, he definitely made the experience and would definitely go again because the food is amazing 👍🏽
A. N.
The staff were very friendly our waiter was extremely patient with us, while we debated what we were going to order and best of all the food was absolutely amazing..compliments to the chef.
A. K.
Food has always been really good here, service is good too.
The children's menu is lacking with decent options.
S. R.
Love the Sahara lamb fillet steak with sauce on side. But this branch can definitely do with a revamp.
B. T.
I had a delightful double rump, and would eat a quadruple rump next time. Good table service, prompt.
B. 9.
Great food. Steak was amazing and it was a really good portion too. The spices stake had a good kick too. The sauces were great as was the service - lol. Guys were really nice and helpful. We sat downstairs on a Friday and the atmosphere was great. Busy place a little pricey but well worth the food. Highly recommended!
I. H.
Always a good place to go when hungry, good room, not tightly packed, food is generally always consistent. Make sure to ask for gravy/stock which is always nice. Quick service considering how packed it gets.
S. A.
Great for those wanting a tasty grill in a presentable form. Steak is sumptuous and manageable, can be a bit bigger maybe and so are the Burgers
A. K.
The food here was okay and while I expected better customer service since I chose to visit at an off-peak time for the restaurant, the service was substandard and frankly, lacked the greatness it is so well known for. Despite going in as a group of 6, we were given a squashed table for 4, something that really should have been looked at since the restaurant was empty. A tip for if you're going to order steak: demand a steak knife and don't let the waiters convince you that a butter knife is sufficient for steak (because it's not, it takes a million years to cut anything with it). I sincerely hope that when I revisit, it will be as good an experience as everyone gives raving reviews about.
S. A.
I’ll definitely recommend Sahara grill to anyone. It was soo delicious, well cooked and the prices was definitely affordable and of course it was halal.The service was great and the staff were very polite. This is now my go to restaurant
S. A.
Customers Service is Good as well food is Yummy.
R. S.
The service was lightening speed...food was fabulous and hot. The atmosphere was ambient and inviting. In all, the staff catered for a party of 40. We politely gave them a tip for £20 for the hospitality and professional service rendered on the premises. I highly recommend Sahara restaurant to everyone.
S. S.
I was skeptical about trying but it was so worth it!
Has the lamb chops, chicken wings, Greek salad and hummus.
THE LAMBB CHOPS! They were soft, not chewy at all, spicy but full of flavour and the same as the chicken wings.
The salad was lovely and fresh.
The hummus was the best ever! 😍😍
Was a bit pricey but definitely worth it
Z. &. N.
The young man Enes served us with pleasure. He was extremely polite and his service was immaculate. He knew and delivered on every detail for our order. Not been here for a few years but the food quality and service is still sterling as always. Well done Sahara Grill!
C. J.
Really nice place. Good atmosphere. Recommend the Sahara Chicken Grilled Breast. Nice and spicy. Good social distance measures in place.
Z. M.
Visited this place when we came to the excel area for an exhibition... A little travel... But we'll worth it... The good was lovely... The streaks were lovely and tender... With a really good variety to choose from. Highly recommended this place.
T. B.
Hands down my fave go to place, never fail to please us! Staff and food always the same and always pleasant! Thank you Sahara! :)
Z.
Starters are fantastic, would recommend the wings, lamb chops and chicken tenders. I had the Sahara fillet lamb steak as a main which was just as good. Service was ok, but it seemed like they were in a rush to get us out of the door which wasn’t nice.
H. Z.
I got the half chicken and 2 sides. Nice decor, decent food and event service. But the person at the counter was quite rude, otherwise 4 stars.
A.
A nice place to go with family and friends. The place is nice and spacious. Food is worth the money and is decent portion. Customer service is also fab 👌🏻.
S. K.
Amazing food
And great service, was very glad to see welcoming services for wheelchair user. (they have a lift for prams and wheelchairs 👍🏼).
S. U.
Amazing start to finish, good service and with delicious starter, main and the desserts would have me coming back here again and again
R. M.
Food was good, the mutton chops was the best. I went as a couple and we got appetiser to share and that was over enough food.
L. C.
Nice place good food, friendly staff clean restaurant.
A. B.
Food is consistent and full of flavour. Burgers were excellent as was the saute. The let down was the kids menu. Ordered a beef burger meal for my 4 year old and the size of the burger was the same as a biscuit
P.
Randomly walked in here without much information about the place, it has a surprisingly neat looking atmosphere and the food was pretty good. There was plenty of staff and we got helped fast by an experienced looking waiter Zakir. I would recommend this place to anyone who's looking for some nice grill meals!
P. M.
I had joined a friend for dinner while he was breaking his fast, food was great and staff even better!
R. J.
Went as a big party of 16, we went on a Sunday it was not too busy, we had pre booked. The service was great food arrived on time and tasted great. Everyone left happy.
G. Q.
Mixed experience. Chicken was as great as ever. Don’t like new coleslaw. Too watery. Chips on cooked enough. If prices hadn’t increased with smaller portions I would have given a 4 star. Usually it’s 5 stars. Hope owners get their act together as it’s one of my favourites!
R.
Never disappoints. Tasty steak, beef and chicken, and, great service and great drinks (mint crush).
G.
Been visiting for years and I live outside of London. Service is spot on and food is always excellent. Hits the spot every time.
S. U.
all though flavors are good on my steak but I have never managed to cut through the steak without a struggle.
R. A.
The best lamb fillet steak cooked to perfection every time with an absolutely delicious spicy gravy. We’ve been regular customers since the restaurant first opened and loyal ever since, it’s always a wonderful experience. The only disappointment is the replacement of salad for cherry tomatoes with the steak.
I.
Decent food and decent prices. Lots of seating available as well so waiting times aren't too long
N. R.
I went there for dinner and the service is amazing but you have to wait a little long. The burgers were amazing and succulent. My kids enjoyed the food and my son ate all the chips seeming as if he enjoyed it. And on the other hand, my daughter ate TWO burgers. So, I recommend you this lovely restaurant but it’s a bit expensive.
i. s.
What a great place. Food was great. Serb9ce was even better. Got served by a fellas named Hamza and he took great care and paid extra attention to my kids order. That made all the difference going to a restaurant after restrictions eased.
Well done guys.
Go there, eat the food, feel the ambience and enjoy. You won't regret it
S. G.
Reasonable prices at Sahara Grill. The chicken was cooked well and quite spicy which I enjoyed. Could have done with some sauce with my meal as standard.
C. K.
Hummus? Peng.
Wings? Ok
King prawns? Price was not justified for its mediocrity.
Lamb chops? Quite nice.
The list above are the starters I shared with my and my pals on a warm summers evening in the heart of London. The place is located decently, central but tucked away on a street where parking is difficult (if not impossible) to acquire. The starters were overall decent, but nothing special nor mind-blowing. Surprisingly, though I rarely enjoy hummus, the hummus here was the most delightful hummus that has entered my dietary tract.
I was disappointed by the fact that they did not have my desired cut of beef - the porterhouse. It's not like we visited late in the evening or anything, so I was quite taken aback and disappointed. Nevertheless, I internalised my frustration, and settled for another cut of beef. One this I did highly appreciate however, is that while many non-European places that sell steak, is that Sahara grill cooks their steak properly - by this I mean that I ordered medium rare and I received what was pretty much medium rare.
Drinks were decent too I guess. Lack of fancy varieties, but nothing wrong with settling for some diet coke where something like Karma cola is unattainable.
R. U.
Great atmosphere and excellent customer service and delicious food love it
D. A.
Great food as always, reasonably priced. Would prefer more sides (chips, etc) but overall a great experience.
F. H.
I was there yesterday 6:11:21 with my family fp a birthday treat we know that it's overpriced and j was expecting it anyway but when I went to the bathroom omw! What a mess for.such a high priced restaurant. One toilet was engaged and in the other one I couldn't find anything to use so I could wash myself I was wondering what so I went out again to the restaurant and Found a half bottle of water on the counter so I took it and refilled to use in the bathroom . Get your act together Sahara grill.
D. F.

Steak was delicious and staff were really friendly.

Better version of nando's
G. A.
The food literally came within 10 minutes of sitting down. The food here was amazing. The cajun burger was delicious. Such a shame I only went for the single, the double would have been it for me. Great seating area downstairs. The staff were also really friendly. You guys are great!
M. Z. (.
The reception is perhaps the only aspect I can complain about. Since there are 2 desks (one for the hotel), it does feel a bit cramped when entering.
Besides this, I can't emphasize how much I love this restaurant. I've been here more than 20 times over 2 years, and no experience was negative. The staff are friendly perfectly friendly, the food tastes amazing. The whole theme feels family oriented and luxurious while also respectful or vibrant and fun.
All my celebrations or relaxing dinners take place here. I've still yet to try their whole menu but none of their food has disappointed so far. Their steak is to die for!
Q. A.
Went whilst eat out to help out promotion. We did not have a reservation, even then we were accommodated and given a table within 15 minutes.
I ordered the lamb filet steak. It was cooked perfectly. The meat was juicy and tender. The food here is always cooked to perfection. Love coming here and would recommend it to anyone.
A. R.
The food was Maa shaa Allah.
So yummy and juicy and wow

Food as usual was brilliant, a notable improvement from the last time we visited (a number of years ago) was the quality of the staff in both speed of service and the attentivness! Really enjoyed our visit thank you.
K. H.
Always a joy eating at Sahara Grill E1. Consistency has been up there for a very long time now and long may it continue! Very friendly and attentive waiters ensuring that we are not in need of anything throughout our meal. Thank you guys!
j. p.
The desserts are delicious. The food is generally good and comes in large servings, all in all really good atmosphere. The only reason for dropping 1 star is that if it is busy, you might not be accommodated for which is a shame
I. C.
i got the sahara lamb fillet steak with chips & gravy. it was very nice and tasty but to me this place is overpriced and overrated.
S.
One of the best fish burger I had in my life no cap
D. F.
Excellent restaurant. Great customer service and amazing food.
A. H.
Nice place with decent food. A bit too pricey for the portion size. But taste bang on point
S. B.
Post covid, manu prices rocketed, portion size shrunk more then half, my lam chop was shaving of a lamp chop. Never again I'm going there!
s. m.
Nice place with tasty food.. make sure you book on weekends as it can get very busy
b. m.
Nice restaurant decent prices nice staff
M. P.
Nice food and honest service. Surprisingly, lamb steaks were better than beef steaks.
I would recommend this establishment over Tayyabs.
R. W.
I went to Sahara grill on the recommendation of my sister. I was there with my children, mother and sister. The restaurant was quite full at 5pm on a Friday. We were seated downstairs and there was a lift. Good for my mum who finds walking difficult. The menu offered mainly burgers, steaks. No curries. The goods came quite quickly and was well cooked. It was enough to fill all of us. The server was very friendly and looking for ways to help us. The food is slightly pricey but I would visit again. I would recommend this place.
I.
Excellent value for money, food was very well made. We all had something different and it all tasted amazing. I will be returning soon.
If you make a reservation ask for seating downstairs, it's much nicer, and less public. As the restaurant is also part of the hotel.
The staff have funny wireless headsets and love the show and theatrics that make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. Not that it was supposed to be, at least I don't think it is.
A. A.
Decent food and good place for the family. Used to come here years ago and portions were much bigger, also feel like it’s slightly rushed with waiters clearly trying to move you on as soon as possible. If you are looking for a quick decent steak this is a good place but for the steak expert, maybe go elsewhere
S. I.
Regular Chips where freshly made, Sahara XXL - Marinated in Sahara Grill spices was really nice it's just it was a bit burnt rather then grilled but the tender chicken just made it so it cancels the burn crispy outside. I also rate their mint sauce it wasn't spicy it just had a unique sense of flavour. I would also rate the Barbican [Apple] juice. The staff on the day weren't too pushy as well giving me and the bros suggestion for the food as well so thank you for your hospitality.
H. 9.
Food and service were good, however food was slightly overpriced in relation to its quality
K. k.
Reza has given me great customer service today! After spilling my drink all over my food 😖he was very attentive and re ordered my food at the speed of lightning. Will definitely come back again! Great food and excellent customer service. P.S. must try their spicy house sause.
S. K.
Visited years ago. Owner was kind enough to leave the restaurant past opening time for us.
A. L.
Over priced food and not what it used to be. 6 out of 10
A.
A group of us went to eat there. As expected, given the location and demographic (relating to tastes), i can see why this "diamond in the rough" works to appease the local palettes.
The food is decent, but far from relative to the cost, especially the lamb chops. The taste of the lamb chops were rather nice, but for a meager, 5 pieces (palm-sized), it iss something that is better suited to two-people maximum. Just be weary of this. I did not mind, but the waiter hadnt informed us of portion size when asked, so that we could have ordered some more etc, shall we say.
The flavour of the grilled chicken is nice and i recommend it, but when ordered in a platter, you receive some half-cooked chips with a slab of coleslaw (ordered another one in case). Please take care of the simple things guys.
I do not have much else to report, other than saying that the staff are respectful, not super engaging if you wish to gain suggestions/recommendations though.
The place itself boasts a fairly comfortable, lovely low-lit setting/ambience which is family-friendly, with plenty of staff, that seemed to overwhelm the small-ish space that is on offer seating-wise (upstairs), but when calling for staff attention, they were not always attentive.
I would not come back here by choice, but i would not talk my way out of going here, should someone else suggest this as a "night out". Had a really good night with the company we were with, and there was a place to pray at the back which was ample/clean enough.
My experience of the one in Leytonstone many years ago, if i remember, was better, and the chef actually stayed a little longer to accommodate our dine-in order! That was class!
L. P.
The service was absolutely fantastic. Literally at the highest level of service was provided compared to Leyton branch. If there was 6* they deserved it big thanks to brother Omar who looked after our table, and thanks to brother Jamal who sorted our request we made. Just one piece of advice. They noise from the workers who was sorting the knifes and folks were making an absolute racket. You really don't want to hear that when you come to do a fine dining in a restaurant like yours. Overall top service and top food well worth it
B.
Great place to visit, would highly recommend, slightly pricy.
l. w.
Went here for my 28th for my birthday service was great and I enjoyed my family meal thank you
A. H.
Went there last week was served by a lovely young chap Hammad both times he was fantastic and his patientance level is very high and nothing was a bother for him even though the restaurant was packed. Food arrived quickly and was piping hot and Sahara never fails busy or not. Keep it up
S. B.
I absolutely enjoyed my meal today, going after many years.
Reza was absolutely brilliant and he is the definition of Great Customer Service.
Because of him, I would go back to Sahara Grill.
And the food was absolutely amazing.
Well done Reza 👏
T. U.
Visited this place with my family ... excellent decor & looks very upmarket.
The food was basic, we all had pretty much the same hot chicken steak with sides.
I have to admit the spicy rice was different to anywhere ive eaten from before so that was a plus point.
My only problem was the amount of roadmans in groups coming into the restaurant and just standing around at various tables chit chatting & spoiling the experience for people who are just there for a quiet meal. Seems staff is helpless to stop this kind of behaviour which doesn’t leave you feeling very safe.

The place is amazing, the food was excellent and the service was very good. Sahil, our waiter took time to answer our questions and talk us through the menu.
We followed his recommendations and we ate great! We will go back!!

Went there today and ordered the T-bone steak done medium with chips for myself and a Mex burger with chips and coleslaw for the missus. Food came in a reasonable amount of time and portion size looked good, not too much or to little. My steak was just warm which I was disappointed with but tasted good so did not complain. As I ate the steak it got rarer and rare as I got closer to the bone to the point that it was raw! The steak chips were also barely warm. My wife's food on the other hand was cooked well, tasted great and was piping hot. Their coleslaw is amazing. We decided to order a cheesecake for dessert which was half frozen and a bit plain. On the whole it was an ok experience but could have been better. The service was good even though they forgot to give me a steak knife!
S. I.
The food is good but the service needs to improve. Some of the waiters are very rude (literally banging cutlery down on the table) and without fail every time we visit they make you wait for a table even though you can see about 5 tables empty/already cleaned and they eventually sit you on one of those!
The owner/manager is very good though and the waiters seem to be much more attentive when he is floating around upstairs.
Would still come back here, purely for the food, service needs to improve !!
S. S.
Absolutely amazing food. Excellent service.
Would definitely recommend to anyone.
The staff are extremely professional.
R. B.
I come here when I get a chance only because everything here is amazing. From staff to food and the environment is always so pleasant and clean and quick! The store manager, his always ensuring that his staff and himself are providing the best service and putting customers first. Never had I ever had an issue here! Always will be coming back here, thank you.

Food was great, a bit pricey however though that was expected anyway. Rib-eye was cooked to perfection along with the lamb chops and the wings. However, the service was atrocious. I've had better service at my local kebab shop. The waiter brought our drinks after the food had arrived, on top of which he brought us the wrong drinks. Not once did he check to see if we needed anything else. Ordering anything after we had got our food seemed impossible as his attention was diverted elsewhere despite the restaurant not being busy at all. I believe his name was Altaf, probably a new worker. For an established business like Sahara Grill, I did expect better overall
J. A.
UNREAL FOOD. The Sahara flavoured chicken burger had me going crazy. Amazing! And the chilli sauce they make is lovely but being Latino I could cope with the heat but my poor friend could not. But the food and service was great and the atmosphere was very professional, classy and clean. Price was also very good. I was surprise
M. A. A.
Great food! Had the Sahara Wings and Lamb Chops which were both excellent - very tasty and well cooked.
The service is what has prevented me from giving 5 stars. The waiting staff didn't seem interested, were not friendly or caring during our meal, and I had to get up and pay at the front because no one approached with the bill despite having finished my meal for over 10 minutes.
Had there been at least a smile or interest shown, I'd have been more than happy to tip generously - not the case sadly. Improve the service for 5 stars.

This is the third time I've been here in 3 years . Until now I've always had a good experience. The waiters are always very accommodating and food always tasty. However, upon leaving this evening we witnessed a mouse on the floor scurrying around behind the till counter near the kitchen. The waiters hardly acknowledged it when I pointed the mouse out to them.
K. M.
Very pricey. Small portions. Takes long for the food to come. Food is really tasty but not worth the price. Customer service is good. Restaurant is nice and clean. Can get very busy at times. Worth a try.
F. a.
Had meal with the wife and atmosphere was crazy and food was beautiful
S. C.
Careful waiter who didn't rush to get the order in was a good start, one of the best burgers I've every had made it 5🌟
J. A.
Food is decently priced and tasted really nice, service is good and the portions are healthy. I had the wings starter and min frite main and i was happy with both. The atmosphere is very peaceful without feeling stuffy or like you can't talk. The decor is modern and it's all in all a good place to ear
M. C.
Many reasons for the three stars. Firstly the food is just above average, ordered a t bone steak well done, one could count the number of chips that came with it. Funny how they charge west end prices for some thing that does not come close. To top it all the staff started to rush us to go as soon as we finished our meal, it was not as if the place was bursting with diners and this was only 10.30 pm. We ended up going to a place a few doors away to have desserts and tea. If you plan to come here for a meal remember that parking is hell and you pay way over the top for a less than average meal.
S. I.
Amazing food, visited with a group of friends all from different parts of Europe.
The lamb chops are an absolute must have. 5 per portion. Also ordered fish bites.
If you don't like spicy food avoid the hot items in the menu, it does have a kick.
We ordered the Red Hot Burger (the spice makes the burger taste amazing, doesn't drown out the flavour of the rest of burger).
Mex Border Burger (tastes amazing and the meat was was succulent).
Beef Saute was brilliant. Feel sorry for my friend who shared some with the rest of us even though we were stuffed we finished half of it for her.
We also got the mango frappe and the mango dream. Both were great but the mango frappe imo was better.
Their service could do with a bit of improvement. Our drinks took ages to arrive and no one followed up with us when our food arrived. Saying all that the food was amazing and it cost roughly £25 per person at the end.
Make sure you try the Trecal Sponge Pudding. It was like heaven inside our mouth.
One last issue is that they don't do a large bottle of water.
This was so much better then Tayyabs.
M. X.
A bit overpriced but more than makes up for it with their customer service and quality of dishes.
Steak is good, the wings are excellent.
Decor is very nice as well.
Place to take the family on a Friday, although it does get busy during the weekends.
Two thumbs up from me.
A. K.
Awesome halal food - I went there with some office colleagues, looking for a good halal restaurant. The food there was amazing. The server recommended I get the T-bone steak and it was really good. The sauce was delicious. My colleagues and I also loved the chicken, the lamp chops, and the fish sticks. The desserts are also very good. Try the sponge cake with custard.
A.
The food was alright, not as great as it used to be. Quality of food has gone down a lot.
J. R.
Lovely staff, always friendly and love joking around. Food was equally as great, definitely a restaurant to try!
T. I.
Been coming to Sahara grill for the last few years, each time has always been teh same, great customer service and great food. If your in the area pop down and try their steaks which I recommend highly. Not overpriced liked the new joints but still great quality food cooked to your request
F. S.
Fantastic service from our waiter Enes went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect for us.
S. R.
Been here on many occasions. Always great food and great service. I love their mango lassi too. It great to go with family, friends or even by yourself or as a couple. Very well designed, very well kept place too. Toilets are clean. Every one of my experiences have been great here!
M. I.
Excellent experience. Lovely food . Great service and above all so well managed i was most impressed to staff and management keep up the excellent work other restaurants need to dine with yiu guys and learn
p. j.
Steaks are absolutley awful. Grilled Chicken is standard but there special sauce helped it get a 3 stars. Everything else is standard as well. I've tried various desserts from them and have to say this place does desserts way better. For steaks check out one of my other reviews on one of my favourite places
A. R.
The quality of food, along with the level of service within this restaurant is outstanding. Me and my friends have been here a number of times and have always left satisfied, they have a selection of healthy dishes. My recommended dish would be the chicken steaks that they do, very succulent, as well as tasty. Even though the price is slightly dear, it does not out weigh the quality of the food within this restaurant. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for quality food.
M. H. (. A.
I am a regular to this place, all dishes are amazing, a must try is the rump steak, and try the mint crush. Great place, great service, amazing food.
S.
Came here for my birthday with family. The place could have better lighting. What was nice was that they have facilities to pray. What wasn't so nice was how the prawns had their shells on. I could not tolerate the taste of the and thus cannot recommend the buffalo wings . We ordered platters as they were good value for money and the rest of meal was ok.
D. A. G. B.
Top class food prices atmosphere and service top notch always on top of the food market...definitely a place to visit on your do list.
Service with a smile the proper dine out day with family and friends with no hassle...
J. U.
Good food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. I've only ever ordered the steak from here and it's ok I wouldn't say it's the best steak I've had because it is a bit bland as one of the waiters has also said to me but with that being said adding their chilli sauce does wonders to the whole meal. It's not always too busy but finding parking is a mission itself as the roads near are always full of cars and you also need a permit but after 5 you can park without a permit, finding an empty spot near is very rare though.
S. M.
Nice food and friendly staff. Muslim friendly restaurant, no music was played or any haraam meat or alcohol served at the place
A. D.
Had a family meal here yesterday (Whitechapel) for Mother's Day and the food was AMAZING. The lamb fillet steak that I ordered medium rare was a little on the rare side, but it went perfectly with the gravy and chips. We did have to ask someone to take our food order as we had been waiting at least 10 minutes for a waiter - but I guess this is to be expected as it was so busy (book a table in advance if you can).
The starters came before our drinks did but the main course came as soon as our starters were finished... perfect timing! The Sahara shrimp was delicious and the bill was a lot less than we thought it would be! We would highly recommend Sahara and we would definitely dine here again - thank you!
K.
I come here almost every time im in east london. Such a good meal spot, they never disappoint. I order the quarter chicken leg meal and sometimes the steak, its quality and affordable. Staff and manager are always so nice, they were even generous enough to give me a free meal!
R. A.
Amazing service. I've been a couple times and service was great but on my most recent visit they seemed to have upped their game. Food was delicious and would 100% recommend this restaurant.
J. M.
Amazing customer service since we got into the restaurant. We got given the table even though we came 30 mins early. The food came within 20 mins and was delicious with out a doubt. Would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone that enjoys good food.
A.
Amazing service clean place to eat. Food was great expensive but well worth. Portions were a little small could have added more for the price per dish. Overall detail was good kids all loved there meals and finished it. My son when we left said we have to come again soon.
M. M. (.
I had the beef rump it was average. The gravy was more like waterbased and not thick enough with chunky onions. Chips were normal nothing fancy about it really. Service was great though. Place looks great. But all in all the meal is too expensive for average and small dish. Plus did notice sign states no alcohol in premises but saw a group booked the downstairs where they bought their own alcohol and were literally making so much noise due to being drunk - not really fair when other muslim family/friends sitting around to enjoy a nice meal. Room for improvement.
S. M.
Highly recommend this restaurant food always top class service also waiters attentive and you can see food being cooked spotlessly clean and air con great on a hot day like today was not dissapointed again and will definitely be back
R. N.
Apart from the scrumptious food and drink, this had a super environment, helpful staff and importantly clean WC.
L. 1. G.
Iv had many pleasant experiences there. Food is really good and service too. My favourite is t-bone steak with vanilla frappe to wash it all down. Standard of food is excellent and atmosphere is really calming and welcoming.
J. H.
Fantastic place and delicious food :)
J.
Lovely peaceful setting. Food was great, staff polite and attentive. Looking at approx 40+ on a 3 course meal.
Food is halal and alcohol isn't served.
Of Street parking available. A place I would recommend
R. K.
Good service but they need to wash their cutlery
M. K.
Pleasant ambience, friendly efficient service also a good range of food! Starters were delicious! Family friendly too!
M. H.
Good decor, decent food, but on the pricey side for amount of food you get.
M.
Delayed breakfast, although I told the waiter I was in a rush, they took about 30mins to deliver our order even though we agreed it would be delivered in 20. Food was fulfilling and kept me going for most part of the day. And finally to put it off, they gave me the wrong receipt. Great! Fantastic! Am I going to eat there again? Debatable.
A. A. N.
I'm an avid regular at this restaurant. The quality of food is great and the service is good too, though there is some room for improvement.
The quarter chicken meal with chips and salad is a personal favourite and the chilli sauce is to die for. Lamb chops as starters are great too!
The one down side is that I think the lamb chops are over priced. Sort it out brothers :-)
m. a.
Solid performance from the staff
We manage to a annihilate the food
Waiter was outstanding
All staff was extremely friendly !!!!
A.
Very nice place. Nice plates as well. Food is really good especially the steaks! Only downside is we ordered tap water and you could see the glass was dirty so hence 4 star instead of 5.
B. B.
Food was really good. Loved the rib eye steak and their chili sauce was delicious. The burger was tasty too.
K. G.
Lovely place, very neat and the atmosphere was great. Steak was average, nothing special. Staff were friendly but a little disoriented.
A. p.
Brilliant food was excellent nothing wrong at all and the main part for me was the beautiful chicken seasoned and well cooked . its all about the PROTEIN ! #LOVEDIT
S. M.
Great customer service and foods, will be back again soon.
A. K.
Sahara grill used to be an amazing place and still is to an extent. There are great menu choices but the prices are too high. I've also noted that the quality of the taste has deteriorated over time where it almost feels as if not all the food is fresh. However to be fair, I'd still go there as it has a nice environment.
H.
Consistently decent food and service .
S. N.
I've been here lots of times over the last 3 years normally with family. With the exception of one dish once, we have always enjoyed the food. We have tried most of the dishes on the menu. I would definitely say this place is a safe bet any day.
A. M.
Amazing and fulfilling food. Staff were generous and friendly, we will be back.
J. A.
Chicken is juicy and so tasty, you'll be thinking about your next visit! Really enjoyed the sides too. Great service and ambience - an all rounder!
S. S.
I love this place masha ALLAH! Amazing food and great service. This is our go to place as a family and even my children ask if we do not go once month! Child friendly and spacious. If you have not been there already I would strongly recommend you go!
Y. R.
Quality food and excellent service always
R. A.
Would have been 5 stars if they greeted me when I walked in , instead of day dreaming
I. H.
You can never really go wrong here. The food is amazing but a little pricy. I didn't really like the staff, they felt a little rude and not very hospitable. The idea is to make the customers life easier, not harder. I hope they can read this and take this as constructive criticism
K. B.
Best beef burgers I've had, really moist and taste good. Always try to find an excuse swing by Service here is excellent. Space to pray if need be too
H. “. R.
It was really nice, I have a Mex border burger. It was really good very spicy. The customer service was good too. I didn't like the sitting as it was too close to other people. Very tight sitting area.
R.
Went with a group of friends, got the steak platter, wings and a burger with chips. Everything was delicious and service was friendly and amazing. Would recommend to everyone to go and try them out. 5 Star

It's made out to be so stylish but is actually bang average and over priced
T. M.
The service and food is great here! Never had a complaint for Sahara Grill Yet!

At the cheaper end of food places in London

Food is amazing, just delicious and perfect, though the price is a bit high

Many reasons for the three stars. Firstly the food is just above average, ordered a t bone steak well done, one could count the number of chips that came with it. Funny how they charge west end prices for some thing that does not come …

A. H.
A nice clean place with a busy atmosphere. The picante gravy accompanying the steaksis as always very delicious as are the buffalo wings. Service was prompt and all in party were satisfied with the meal
M. B.
One of the best spots in Whitechapel. Service is consistently good. I would recommend the half chicken meal, the ribeye steak and the lamb fillet steak. Prices are a little high, however.
S. B.
Excellent service , staff were polite and welcoming even though we can at the back end of the day and they were preparing to close we were the last ones out did not rush us. Food was piping hot when it arrived and tasted really nice. Overall a vey good experience and will be visiting again . Keep up the good work!

Best customer Service I have ever come across!!
Best Food I have ever tasted!!!

Never fails to satisfy. Excellent food and customer service. Highly recommend of you want a good quality steak.
Z. B.
Great food and service. Very tasty and halal.
H. A.
Good decor, good food - but sometimes there is a bit of wait as it can get quite busy. The starters are tasty, but their mains are better.
The starter portions are a little questionable, but their mains is a good size.
I spent around £20 per person.
M. H. M.
Good food especially with a group of people at a reasonable price. Went with the sharing platters and was a decent amount for 4 people. Steak chips are definitely a must have.
N. Y.
Delicious food and drinks especially the burgers and steaks. Good service. Can get very busy so reccomended either going early or booking in advance.
R. I.
Food is always good and staff are very respectful. Good for family/ date/ friends and work dinner and lunch events. Food taste good too with a bit of spice defo a regular. Price is ok... tho parking is a issue at times.

Service was amazing, food was amazing. Overall this place was spectacular-100% go here again

Clean. OK chops, size was smaller then Leyton branch. Ordered mediterranean salad was give another also was not charged for the drink even though the place was not to busy, mid week evening.
S. Z. Z.
The food was really delicious and service was excellent.
W. B.
Food was delicious. Ordered wings and a rib-eye steak. The only issue is the price is way too much for what it is. You don't even get something considered 'large' for £20 :/
J. M.
They gave us a table straight away, the food was simply amazing. It is a great place to eat and you should especially try the the lamb chops as they left me speechless.
A. S.
Finesþ dining at a reasonable price. Beautiful ambient setting on the basement floor of the hotel. Proper organised staff. No shouting and screaming or rushing as you commonly see in busy restaurants. Portion sizes have slightlt reduced since the beginning but prices remain the same.
Highly recommended to muslim families in particular as its got a very warm atmosphere and feels very welcoming.
All food is Halal HMC only. NO alcohol permitted under any circumstance on the premises.
Lift available too. Its not a spacious lift or spacious restaurant but its top end for such small geniously designed place.
Parking is street parking weekdays free after 5.30pm.
H. P.
Food is OK... I am not sure why there is so much hype about this place... I have seen people wait 30mins+ to be seated. The only real outstanding dish are the lamb chops (according to my friends). The rest is pretty average.
C. G.
If you havent been to Sahara Grill then you are missing out, clean, tasty food and great service
K. H.
Pre lockdown; Sahara Grill was on point and consistent in their food. Post lockdown; definitely not the same. Feeling like it's all dropped a little however, I can understand given that everyone has been off for a while now and will take time to readjust.
I.
i came here with my family and we got looked very well by Hamad he showed us excellent service also the steak & chips was very nice will be back soon!
S. P.
Food and service provided by waiter was fine, but the seating was only one floor at lunchtime. They don't let people sit downstairs. So it's very cramped and too close to other diners.
M. J.
The lamb chops are on point. The steak is on point. Wish the portions were bigger. Everything was really good but I just wasn't full. Felt I needed to order another mains.
D. A.
The food was not bad but the seating area was very cramped. Every time the waiter passed me I had to get up or I'd get hit.
T. M. J.
Environment is good. We have choosen basement to seat for the dinner. Ordered three different items to taste. Food is expensive compared to its taste, service, location and ingridients.
m. z.
I've been coming to this restaurant for years.The service is great and the food is amazing. The prices are reasonable. The Starters are slightly expensive but everything else is perfect
J. M.
Again place is overpriced for what it is , visited both Whitechapel and Ilford branch. Food is ok can be much better. Would expect the food to be hot but dissapointed eith temprature and lack of flavour. Lamb Chops was a highlight , so its OK.
M. B.
It was abit over priced i thought.
Food was OK not amazing.
We were a party of 12.
I ordered a fajita, was a bit disappointed the chicken was dry n I had to wrap the fajita myself lol.
A. I.
Went here for a meal with two friends, it was superb. Great modern looking interior. Most importantly though, quality food at reasonables rates. Good portions and service times.
M. Z.
Great portions and service, highly underrated beef burgers and steak
S. A.
Usually this place is a guarantee for good food. But for the first time it let me down. However I'm not going to knock it as I know they can do better. The service is terrible but I don't really care as the food is usually good and not to pricey
R. H.
I love sahara grill. I eat there 5x a week. I get quatre chicken leg peice extra hot. Poured over with naga and chicken stock. My 2 sides are mash and salad. Startes is lamb chops and prawn croquet. I love sahara. One day they will sell me the recipe thats how often they see me.
K. B.
Bit pricy for what it is. Food cooked well. This branch seating is in the basement so you don't get natural light.
A. S.
Excellent service and exceptional quality food.
s. b.
Best place for steak in London love their Sirloin Steak and the spicy gravy that accompanys it! Even the Lamb chops are really good!
N. J.
Friendly staff and good food. Generous portion sizes and the waiters are not as pushy or salesy as they used to be a few years back. Clean place
J. O.
My fave restaurant ever! the prawn tempura half chicken and portherhouse steak all amazing and portion size and flavour is everything
N. H.
Delicious good quality food. And excellent service by staff. Amazing dining experience.
R. L.
Food was good. atmosphere was great. Staff friendly. Bit over priced but overall worth one visit.
S. A.
I honestly think this place is overhyped. The food is not worth the price. I've been here a few times to come to a conclusion. Out of all the food here, If I had to I would always go for the chicken steak.
T. A.
Gentleman called Zakir was extremely helpful, kind and friendly towards My sister and mum. I love going to Whitechapel branch stuff like him makes us feel welcome. Thank you for the great service
My birthday dinner was great in Sahara Grill. Brother found a prayer space for me while prayer room was busy and brother Omar hospitality was great. Jajaka Allah khairan my family especially my little sister loves this restaurant so much
M. A.
Food tastes great but portions should be bigger. We always end up needing to have more then 1 main course
B. A.
Lovely food. Served nice and hot. Great customer service. Good choice of selection. Definately going back there soon
T. B. E. A.
Always amazing, the staff are awesome, if you have just one thing off the menu let it be the lamb chops!! Although a starter they are THE BEST chops I've ever had!!
T. Z.
Above average food, really clean lounge like ambiance. Spicy as all get out. Reasonable prices, food comes out fast and it's clean.
D. B.
Well my friends had given me high expectations of this place however I was slightly disappointed, asked for a medium steak got it almost well done ordered some sauce to have with my steak and I didn't receive it however they tried to charge me for it
Food taste was alright but if you're looking for steak this isn't the place to go to
F. M.
Ordered takeaway first time and was pleased with the food. All in all it was tasty and good portions too.
L. N.
the staff were really nice and considerate just a bit awkward which is why some people may be unhappy with the service every restaurant has good and bad days we might not have visited on the best days but I would definitely be visiting again.
S. R.
Been eating there since they opened in Layton since then I can say the portions have refused and the food gets cold quick also I noticed that they foos is more dry. Less sauces used or something
T. P.
Great food good place to eat. Fast service
M. H.
Great looking place, food is usually good, service is excellent. A little overpriced in my opinion, otherwise 5 stars.

Lovely food grate environment and grate service from staff. I had a Good experience for my first visit I will definitely return.

Food was average. Spicy Rice was boiled Rice with a bit a yellow colouring. Not spicy at all. Not with the money.
S. B.
Honestly this is the best place that i ever been not only because of the food but also the enviroment is outstanding and you can easily find a nice place to pray inside so overall what do you need more!?
You will find the delicious food, quite and calm enviroment and a room where you can pray...
T. Y.
Food tastes great as usual. Prices on the menu have crept up since the last time i went.
S. B.
Food is delicious, I had the chicken fraita's but only came with 2 wraps which was disappointing but food was tasty.... Had plenty chicken left over!

Chicken steak amazing. Lamb chops amazing. Service even more amazing. Well done sahara grill.
V. A.
My absolute favourite restaurant.
Dishes are filled with flavour & are really reasonably priced.
Only thing that is a let down is the limited drinks selection
F. M.
Fully halaal restaurant with no alcohol. Great food and very big dining area, which was surprising as you don't expect it when you walk in. Had a few different things on the menu (chicken, seafood, etc.) which were all very good and well prepared.
P. W.
Excellent food, service & price not too bad either
N. U.
Had the Red Hot Burger with cheesy chips. Really good.
J. T.
It is my favourite place for Steak and Chips, I normally get the lamb fillet steak, it is juicy and cooked to perfection, it is served with a spicy gravy sauce, delicious.
T. C.
The quality in their steaks has improved over time I come so gotta say, always enjoy a quick bite here.
T. A.
Food is amazing, just delicious and perfect, though the price is a bit high

Lovely place and great services with tasty food and drinks. Table booking recommend. All the best to team Sahara. Keep up the good work.
S. K.
Over rated for what it is,but always find my self going there as my 7 year old loves it🙄
M. S.
The steak is wonderfully cooked. But the place is always crowded and loud. It is recommended to book a table before entering here because the wait can be a while.
F. K.
I ordered:
xxl sahar chicken burger 9/10
Fish and chips 9/10
Curlt fries 10/10
Orange juice 9/10
Overall ambience 9/10.
One should visit.
j. m.
Best to phone ahead to get a table quick. Usually busy on Friday and the weekend. The food is decent recommend the grilled chicken and steak.
S. R.
For a family of five and a nice restaurant like this you expect the cost to exceed £80 but it cost £60 also the portions were much bigger than we thought we would get.
S. A.
Excellent and professional customer service. Food was lovely as always. Price abit on the steep side.
a. K.
5th time going and I can honestly say I am not tired of the food. Delicious and service is good too!
I. M.
Very nice decor, food and service were second to none, the burger was filling and tasty. I had a great time

Steak was really good but whole chicken was pretty ordinary. Expensive in comparison to other similar places.

Our waiter Samad was very friendly. The T-bone steak was amazing. I would recommend the moctail which was the best I've had.
H. T.
Better version of nando's
S. 3.

Awesome food Mashallah I would recommend everyone to go there. I go there with my family every time & not once I can say I've had bad experience.. Allhamdulilah these brothers are doing very well.
Keep up the good work brothers.
A. K.
Excellent food. Just that the prices are also ‘excellent’ which means cannot eat their more than twice a year.
z. m.
Decent food and great customer service waiters work hard! (Food is slightly overpriced).....

I must say whitechapel branch always seems to have something extra in their food.
Clean, and quality food.
Thank you guys for your genuine hospitality.

Food was out of this world. Chicken was awesome.. The steak was perfect. The service was top notch

Urgent update from the hungry monsta:
Do not be basic and order a steak, this place is not designed for steaks, what you wana have is the mini chops, they are quite delightful, best item on the menu by a country mile
min riz is delicious,
A bit limited in drink options even then I would have given this place 4 stars,
What truly kills the experience and hinders the enjoyment of the food is the atmosphere,
The local youts attend in packs and by jolly gosh do they make a ruckus
Now according to Einsteins theory of general relativity if there is enough dense mass at one point, even light won't be able to escape its gravitational effect thus, black holes.
Well I have encountered evidence first hand that will support this theory,
These young ruffians are so dense they quite literally suck the intelligence out of the room,
I'm sure with enough time they could demonstrate sub zero levels of IQ,

It used to be 5* but standards have steadily slipped over the past couple of years. You still get decent food for a good price

Steak is not as good as we expect, fish is lack of seasoning. Burger was ok. All in all a bit expensive for what we got.
s. c.
Great atmosphere,nice food over priced, taste could have been better according to the pricing.
D. K.
Food was ok but the manager or owner was very unprofessional, having a go at the staff in front of customers when the staff didn't do anything wrong from what i can see.
S. 2.
This place is like a sauna down stairs but the food was fabulous for a good price I Will definitely go back

Food quality has always been impressive- highly recommend the lamb fillet steak. Not cheap for location - but price is reflected by quality.

Visited last night and loved it. Don't know how to compliment them properly. If I was wealthy I'd visit daily. Thanks millions
