A small and cosy restaurant in the middle of Brighton - although it has to be said it was a little cold inside, could’ve done with the heating being turned on. Anyway, the food was cooked to perfection; the meats in the tagines were juicy and tender and the kofta was perfectly cooked, without being dry. The buttery rice was such a lovely and perfect accompaniment to the dish in the cold water, every mouthful was warming. Dessert could’ve been better; the baklava was too dry and personally not to my liking. But if you like Mint tea, then you’ll love their offering! Served up in authentic crockery with fresh mint leaves, it was the perfect end to a fabulous meal. Highly recommended and will be visiting soon again.

Fantastic food - we had a sharing platter so got a little taste of everything and can't fault one thing we ate. It's also BYOB so bring a bottle of your favourite wine and enjoy!

Amazing food and lovely atmosphere. Sabri went out of his way to make a big group of us feel comfortable and well looked after. Would deffo recommend to friends and family - the byob is also a massive plus, on top of the delicious food! Thank you - can’t wait to come again !

We had our Christmas group dinner here and was an excellent experience. Sabri is an attentive and friendly host, the food is amazing with great atmosphere. BYOB with no corkage as others have said. Will definitely be back in a smaller (and quieter - sorry Sabri!) group

An unbelievable experience! The waiting staff could not have been more accommodating for us on our pre-Christmas dinner evening meal. There were times where we were overzealous and the waiting staff calmed us down politely. The food was wonderful and there is a reason why we return year on year. Thank you to the floor staff and chefs. We will be back!

What a find this restaurant is, it is simply remarkable. Firstly its a BYO restaurant (bring your own bottle, if you want to drink alcohol ), that of course is appealing but it is the service and of course the food that is the star. Sabri the owner is the perfect host, warm, funny and nothing is too much trouble. He and his staff really go out of the way to make you feel at home and to help you with your meal choice. The food itself is wonderful, I went twice in 2 weeks with different friends and everyone said the same. Mouthwatering, amazing food. If you are bringing your own alcohol, Sabri and his staff will provide you with a wine cooler if you need one. The restaurant closes at around 10pm but during the whole evening you are never rushed with anything. I will definitely be going back with more friends in 2024 and can't wait. Well done Sabri and his team. Simply astounding.

What a great restaurant. I booked for a birthday meal and from the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. We were shown to a beautiful, cosy booth with opulent decor. Our service was so attentive and friendly and the food was standout. Sahara made my night so special - thankyou so much!

After reading reviews online Sahara definitely delivered. The downstairs seating area at the back of the restaurant takes you inside a North African eatery, it is beautifully decorated and makes you feel like you are back in Morocco. We had the chicken wings and spicy lamb sausage for starters which were so moreish. For mains we had the sultans mixed kebab and lamb chops - Both were unreal, the meat was soo soft and seasoned beautifully. The Host was also very welcoming. Overall, Sahara is a must if you are looking for a North African experience. We left thinking how impressed we were with the atmosphere and experience.

What an incredible evening! Right from the start when I was booking the table, the owner Sabri treated me like the most special guest. Nothing was too much and he was so interested about the event, what we were looking for, what he could offer. And boy did he deliver… The atmosphere was so welcoming, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was so attentive. There’s not one thing I could say to make the experience better. We had the most amazing evening, I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough!! Will definitely be back soon

Loved the grilled seabass. Next time I will go straight to main dish to share and order little side dishes . We ended ordering too much with the mezze for 2 and it had the same patatoes as the fish, and a tagine with couscous . We were 3. The mezze is a bit expensive for what it is Perhaps suits a bigger group although is 2 of each. Good atmosphere, music and service.

We came to Taste of Sahara for a Birthday celebration with a bunch of friends. A delightful evening of great food and lovely service from the friendly and welcoming staff. Very hard to choose from the menus but we all chose well and enjoyed everything from Mezes to tagines and skewers of aromatic meats. We bought wine with us, as you can take your own alcoholic beverages and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Will return again very soon! Many thanks to the management and staff for making this a wonderful evening!

We were a fairly large party but the staff didn't let that bother them at all - they were so helpful and friendly with us the whole evening! There was a variety of tasty food available, the portions were huge (which was great in terms of value for money), plus they provided takeaway containers if we couldn't finish. A few members of the party were vegetarians/vegans so they made sure that amongst all the sharing platters there were things we could have which was really appreciated. Will definitely go back, not just for the food but for the atmosphere and people :)

My partner decided to take me here to celebrate my new job. As I am North African, he thought I'd enjoy it. We ordered our food, and then were told we have to pay cash. Had we known this before ordering, I would have told my partner let's go elsewhere. The food arrived. The salad tasted and looked as though it had been made about 5 hours before. The rice and Kofta were bland. My partner had to leave me and go to the ATM to withdraw some cash in order to pay. When the bill arrived, my partner tried to pay and the waiter said we have no change. So my partner had to either go to the shop and get change or give them £16 extra. This is most likely a tax evasion tactic, and a way to get more money out of customers by claiming to have no change. Was very poor service and food. I would not recommend.
