Waiter & his service was very good his name is Azim. We often came Shaharagrill thank you.

Had an amazing experience having a dinner with my wife on our anniversary. The food was very nice. I enjoyed every bite of the prawn croquettes, Sahara platter and the Chocolate brownie with Ice cream. Great ambience and had a great service provided by Rasheed. Had a prayer corner to pray after eating making it fully halal.

Zakir was welcoming and accommodating, With great customer service.

We were served by both Jamal and Amir, both very lovely and very considerate. Their customer service was great. Food was amazing as always I come here with my family as well, and they never disappoint

Extremely attentive service from Zakir, with delicious food and a quiet environment, excellent for conversation. Highly recommended!!!!!

Excellent food. Recommend lamb steak Zakir's service and attention was first class

Amazing food, spiced and really flavorful. Enjoyed it! And Azim was amazing and really friendly

Was very satisfied with the service given by Jamal and Amir. They were very kind when accommodating another table. Would deffo recommend this branch.

Amir was great all night and helped us with our orders in a very quick and professional manner. Amazing food and atmosphere.

love the food, very tasty and fresh, Also zakir was very nice and helpful

Everything perfect, very delicious food and excellent service from Zakir

Very nice food, Jamal was very helpful with his service. I recommend.

Excellent food, superb service great and a great atmosphere. Sharif is an excellent host and couldn't do more for us. I'll be back again very soon!

Booking for 15 people but got seated in the space of 12. Basically had to elbow each other in the face while eating and sat down really squashed up with each other. T-bone steak was nice. Dynamite shrimps was mouth watering. Other starters was on point. Very smokey inside, need to work more on air circulation. Well trained staff / no mistake on orders for large group. Overall verdict : decent food, bad atmosphere. Even worse seating plan.

Food was really good. Very fast service. Zakir the waiter there was a gem. Very friendly,attentive and helpful

Azim’s customer service was excellent and food was really good. Definitely recommend.

Azim did a great job serving us. Thank you for the service

Good food and clean environment. Half chicken is well seasoned and cooked well. Excellent service from Zakir.

Sahara grill is the perfect food restaurant, been going for years always excellent conistent food and service. Highly recommended. Zakir was absolutely perfect waiter really great service from him.

Zakir provided us great customer service. Food was excellent. Thank you for the great experience.

Zakir was an amazing host, and the food was as brilliant as ever!

One of the best restaurants in London for a steak! We’ve been here over 100+ times, and will always keep returning. Customer service is exceptionally great and the restaurant is quite spacious. The in-house special Sahara passion drink is just amazing - highly recommend! Thank you so much 😁

Amazing service from brother zakir. Food was incredible

Azim was an outstanding waiter, going above and beyond to take care of us. The food was exceptional. We visit this place at least once every two weeks. I always opt for the lamb sirloin steak—it's unbeatable.

I had a lovely experience, delicious food and allergens catered for, hosts were wonderful, friendly and helpful. Azim was lovely, had a great time with great service and jokes, very helpful with our orders. Thanks so much, hope to see you again soon!

Really love staff who looked after us even when I didn't pay attention to how spicy the meal was. Azim was great and very friendly

Great food and friendly service from Azim. Catered for allergies too which is a huge bonus.

The experience, the service and attitude from staff was excellent. Azim was really helpful in providing an excellent service and providing recommendations for our family dinner. An all round excellent experience at Sahara Grill Whitechapel and I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

rashed gave excellent service, really kind and polite

Steaks were really tasty and perfectly cooked. Very efficient and friendly service by amir

Amir gave amazing service, very attentive. Overall excellent experience. Give him a raise !

Sahara Grill like the old times, we ordered at one Teak, Lamb Filet and Lamb Shank. The food tasted amazing, the meat was done to perfection. Amir was very friendly, welcoming and his service was outstanding. Very happy to be served by Amir. He is an exceptional staff, friendly smile.

Amazing food, I would defo recommend this place. Jamal, Sharia and umar provided us with brilliant service and great manners!

Been going here for years. Brother Jamal always makes my family feel welcome, great service!!! Whitechapel branch

Great place to have consistently good food at a good price - which is why my husband and I have been regular customers for years. Service is always polite and friendly. Thank you especially to Azim who is always really smiley, kind and looks after us everytime we visit!! :)

Azim provided great service. Food excellent

Azim was an amazing waiter and food was amazing as always.

My sister wanted to have her Nikkah here. We pre booked for 40 guests on a Sunday and were given the back of the restaurant which was great because it was a secluded area away from other diners. I had called up Jamal to arrange the menu before the day and he was great! We had a budget and his recommendation ensured that we were well fed with food to also take away! food, service and atmosphere was 10/10, my family and guests really enjoyed the food, making the day a truly memorable experience. Thank you very much!

Excellent service from azim. Thank you for this.

Been coming for years, great food, great service. Was served by Jabul tonight, he was great!

Lovely food once again at sahara grill, sharif and jamal were very attentive and gave us a brilliant experience.

Good and friendly service by Rashed

Rashed is very good and very good customer service and really nice to speak to

Rashed an amazing waiter, great aura and attitude, made my food taste 10 times better !!

Big thanks to the brothers rashed and kazim what a amazing service will be 100% back

The foods always nice and Omar was the best waiter I’ve come across. He was very polite, considerate and also had great mannerism. Will come back again

The food here is always amazing! My go to is the Sahara chicken steak! The customer service we received from Omar was impeccable, polite and professional. He throughly checked on us multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed. Love the new addition of the robot serving our food! Was a wonderful meal and experience!

Took kids for Dinner meal. One the best experience. Food was great. Service from Jabul was amazing. Will be back.

Jabul provided great service, very attentive and available. Food was amazing as always.

I had an outstanding dining experience at Shahara Grill, where the service provided by Rashed truly elevated the meal. From start to finish, Rashed's attentive and friendly demeanor made us feel welcomed and valued as customers. The food was exceptional, with each dish bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and comfortable, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. I highly recommend Shahara Grill to anyone looking for delicious food served with a smile, and I am grateful for Rashed's excellent service which made our visit truly memorable.

Great, fast service, our server Jabul was very attentive and the food was really nice

Great customer service skills from Jamal

Jabul was a really good waiter.

Received amazing service from kaz will be back again

Sami was an excellent waiter, very attentive and had a good laugh and joke with him too. Food was absolutely amazing especially the lamb fillet steak also recommended by sami. Keep up the good work!👍🏽

Hamza was such a great host! Wonderful service with a smile. I will definitely come back for Mr Hamza! Thank you soooo much.

Sami our Host, was exceptional, he took care of our table of 7 with ease, humour and utmost care and attention. We have been several times before but this time he made it a wonderful experience and went out of his way to make it extra special. Thank you Sami

Very kind service. Meal was good, heed caution as the steaks are spicy...QR code menu...seems to be a thing in London, we weren't a fan.

Very over priced where food was not tasty at all !! Never ever going again Not recommended

Update: 5th August 2024 - ordered a rump steak medium rare and it tasted perfect. The chocolate pudding and custard was just as good as before. I tried the Sahara mint crush drink and it tasted really refreshing after that meal. Also service has massively improved compared to before, the 2 waiters were really polite!

I visit this restaurant frequently and more recently have noticed a new member of staff with exceptional customer service. The second time I ordered with him, he remembered something I ordered from my first order with him. I was so pleasantly surprised because it was part of my usual order and I had forgotten to add it since I was dealing with my baby while ordering. Kazim has also gone out of his way twice to help me heat my baby’s food. As a mum of a young baby, this makes my experience 100x easier. Thank you very much Kazim, I’m so glad you work here!

Delicious food and quick service. Highly recommend the beef rump steak with mushroom sauce!

The food was nothing extraordinary, it was ok, I don’t think it was worth the prise.

Second time having food from Sahara grill, travelled from Newcastle and can confidently say we were not disappointed! From the amazing customer service, the facility to pray with the staff which contributed to creating a welcoming and very friendly environment. The food was 10/10 (highly recommend the steak!) and the service was fast despite being busy. :) Special thanks to Azim for his amazing service!

A lovely restaurant with a lovely staff. Gave me free soft drinks on my first takeaway order. Went back for another meal the next day and they helped me with internet as I needed to finish some work. Food was delicious, decent waiting time and lovely customer service!

I’ve visited Sahara grill a number of times (inc their other branches) but I think this was my last. On two occasions now the chops tasted very meaty/gamy. The service is really not acceptable considering between us we spent in the region of £500. The lighting is far too dim. One of the lights was not working and the bulb got replaced at our insistence. Food was served in a frantic manner (e.g. chops given first and then a while later the chips: do we wait and let the chops go cold or do we eat the chops now and then eat the chips, a side dish, alone?) The children’s chicken burger was disgusting. One of the steaks we ordered medium but was more medium rare if not rare. Even though we reserved beforehand, they told us tables were ready when they weren’t. But I think overall having spent such an amount you don’t walk away feeling like you were looked after, it’s a very dull conveyor belt like service. So I’d rather take my custom elsewhere.

Food was disgusting and overall atmosphere wasn’t relaxing

Excellent Affordable Steak. Blueberry Buzz was excellent, too. Halloumi on point.

Visited the Sahara grill with my friends yesterday the 13/07 for the first time and I was really impressed with the hospitality. Giving a good commendation to our excellent attendant 'Kazim' a very nice bloke; he was attentive, approachable, very efficient and friendly. The food was good and tasty and the price was reasonable. Nice ambience and good atmosphere but could do with some improvement. The QR code wasn't necessary because the internet didn't work properly and the place would have been nice to inject some soft background music to make the atmosphere more relaxed. Overall experience was enjoyable.

The service was very good and Kazeem the allocated waiter was brilliant. He was friendly listened to our needs and delivered a first class service.

Kazim was very professional, friendly , receptive, attentive, efficient,

Very attentive and conducive atmosphere Excellent service

The chips tasted old and dry. Chilli sauce tasted weird in this branch and was not very appetising. Service was not very good, sticking to Gants Hill or Leyton since Adam is the only one who knows how to treat customers right.

Ordered the T Bone steak which was horrible! Ordered it medium rare but it was too chewy. The gravy was awful! I told the manager and he did even have the courage to apologise and said ‘sometimes the meat isn’t good standard’. I’d avoid this branch at all costs.

Jamaal had great service with a smile. Highly recommend

Fantastic service I go with friends and enjoy a lot there Their food and drinks Appreciated service really fantastic Specially the drinks Sahara passion we love it

Been 5 years since I’ve come here. Flavours and kindness remain ever so good! Great work by Jamal and the wider team. Another thing is that there’s no expectation of a tip, especially important in today’s economy. 15% left due to service. God Bless

What a find Sahara Grill in East London was for us! We were searching for something beyond traditional kabobs and naan. We ordered mocktails, sahara wings and the Ritz Frite. Wings were just perfect - hot, tangy and crisp. The Ritz Frite was a delicious fusion of Mauritanian rice, tender chicken slices and Chinese veggies. Just excellent food. . And the staff was super attentive. Highly recommend

Visited Sahara Grill for the first time on recommendation of a friend who’s is food blogger and said it’s a must go to for Sumptuous food and great service. It was a special occasion and the staff and members ensured that we have amazing experience. Thanks Omar for the service ❤️❤️

Their burgers are awesome. Beef sauté is a must try.

Very good service and excellent food. Brother Zakir who was serving us was amazing. The lychee mocktail is a must try. Would come again
