Sahara Grill in Tower Hamlets

Delicious meal at a reasonable price. Warm atmosphere and environmnet. The staff are always respectful and patient. Excellent service from Kazim. Thank you Sahara grill!

Family and myself came here for a family dinner after an lecture. The ribs were very tender , chicken was tasty, fresh orange juice was incredible. The waiter (forgot his name ) very helpful And welcoming . The halloumi burger was not how I was expecting it to taste very average. Favourite part of the evening was getting the little chocolates when the bill came amazing 😁😁

Excellent staff, food was good. Sulaiman was incredibly helpful

Sulemaan was very helpful and ensured we were well looked after

Service: 10/10 Food: 10/10 Sulemaan: 11/10

Had an excellent dining experience at Sahara Grill. The manager greeted us warmly at the door, and after a short wait, we were seated. Our waiter, Sulemaan, was outstanding—attentive, polite, and provided impeccable service throughout. The food was exceptional, cooked to perfection, and full of flavor. This was by far the best service we’ve received here, and we’ll definitely be back!

Sahara Grill, you guys need to give Sulemaan a raise! Man had top-tier service, made sure we were patterned all night. Oh, and the food was fire too. See you soon!

Amazing food. Even better service. Sulemaan made our night!

It’s rare to find such consistent service and quality food in one place. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, and Sulemaan ensured we had a smooth, enjoyable experience. The food was flavorful and well-prepared. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

You know when you go out to eat, and everything just works out perfectly? That’s what happened here. No long wait, top service from Sulemaan, and the food? Fire. Can’t wait to go back!

I went to Sahara grill the other night as I was greeted by the manager. after scanning the menu our waiter Sulemaan greeted us and took our order. He provided the best service that night we had ever received whenever we go to Sahara Grill. Food was really nice MaShaAllah and atmosphere was good and will definitely come back to have him as our waiter

The other day, we headed to Sahara Grill, and as we arrived, the manager greeted us at the door. We got there around 8:30 PM and waited about five minutes before being seated. After checking out the menu, our waiter for the night, Sulemaan, came over to take our order. His service was easily the best we’ve experienced at Sahara Grill—attentive, friendly, and professional. On top of that, the food was incredible. We’ll definitely be coming back, and hopefully, we’ll get served by Sulemaan again!

Waited over 30 mins for water. Favourited female customers.

I was greeted by a waiter called Sulemaan around 9:00pm he was very polite and respectful and looked after me and my family

As me and my friend walked into sahra grill the other day, and i was greeted by manager at the door, we walked in around 8:30ish and got a table after a 2 min wait. After scanning the menu we were greeted by our waiter called sulemaan at the table who was our waiter the whole night, he provided us the best service we’ve received at sahara grill yet kept checking on us to make sure all was good and the food was also 10/10. Sahara will defo be seeing me again preferably being waitered by sulemaan

Had a booking for 2 people at 8pm, as soon as we walked in the doorman sent us downstairs and the waiter showed us our table, The waiter sulemaan took our order and gave us excellent service. our starters came first (lamb chops and herbi wings) and then we had our mains shortly arrive after, we ordered a half chicken with 2 sides each, it was slightly spicy but never the less the food was amazing

We were greeted by the doorman with no booking and got a table within the next 2 minutes, we were then serviced by a waiter called sulemaan who gave us excellent service and also gave us some very nice reccomendations which was the lamb fillet steak. Overall id rate this place a 8/10

Great food for Pakistani cousine lovers. Too busy and too noisy on weekends.

Mr Azim was really good, very friendly service. 100% recommend the restaurant.

Azim is amazing! Perfect food too!

I went to Sahara on my three days trip to London and I absolutely loved the food.I ended up eating there for all my days in London.The Food was amazing despite eating variety of it over the days.it tasted the so good.I loved loved the excellent service by a waiter called Azim.Very true to detail,checking in all the time to see if I was confortable and loved the food.I would highly recommend!Great Value for Money.

This is the best steak in London, we always come to the Sahara grill and Azim Vai always provides a fantastic service. He is very nice and polite.😀😀😀😀

Great food and service by Azim.

Sami was very good and made sure our food came on time and perfect service!

Food and service was amazing! Got served by someone called sami and he made my experience lovely! Big up sami thank you for the hospitality

Really well presented food is the best was full of flavour service was superb really nice location as well everything is so beautiful dessert is so yummy i would recommend Sahara grill to anyone. Thank You So Much

Lovely food and Sami was a great host

The food was absolutely spontaneous and I was glad to be greeted by Sami who helped us throughout our meal with very good and well mannered customer service.

I have been coming to Sahara Grill for years. The level of service has SERIOUSLY dropped. The steak we ordered was large but we didn’t get large. The level of taste has also dropped. What a shame…. We told the waiter who served us he just made up excuse not to do anything about it. What I found absolutely strange was as we ordered the food they demanded the payment to made which is not a problem…. They are quick to take the money… when it comes to a problem it’s all excuses. Such a shame that a lovely restaurant like Sahara Grill has gone down the hill.

The food was well seasoned. Good portion, and an even greater service by Azim. Thank you Sahara

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

I didn’t want to write this review as all the people working there are very polite and professional. I ate here yesterday evening and I had very bad food poisoning. I am certain it was the dynamite shrimps something was off but didn’t think much of it as it was smothered in sauce. My friend that dined with me also had stomache pain and had to take multiple trips to the loo. It can’t be a coincidence that both of us had to experience this. The food quality is not the same as before and the prices have been extorted. I’m sorry I don’t think I’ll be coming Sahara anymore been a loyal customer for many years. Maybe the chef has changed I don’t know but it doesn’t taste as good as before. The lamb shank was also overpowered with too much seasoning and curry spices. Shrimps didn’t taste like dynamite it tastes more like tangy buffalo mixed with a little siracha. Lychee blast was 10/10.

Saifuallah was a good waiter provided amazing service to us

great service by saifallah really made us feel welcome and always checked up on the table

One of the best grill food in the E1 area although I will highly recommend it but there are a few like this aswell, go their give it a go you will definitely not be disappointed as the price for it's food is excellent and reasonable to, atmosphere excellent also the service, top quality food and from my experience the chef's must be good, as the food is cooked with high standards. I will keep going with family, friends, and even solo, lol. Mm, mmm. Don't miss it.

Platters and drinks are good here. Perfect for large parties and families

Sahara Grill Whitechapel is truly the original halal steak place and sets the standard for quality and service. The atmosphere is incredibly accommodating, especially if you prefer privacy during your meal. The staff are always so friendly, attentive, and willing to assist with any needs you may have. The food is exceptional! The steak is consistently cooked to perfection and tastes amazing every time. The beef rib is tender, soft, and packed with flavour. Their sides are also consistently delicious and complement the mains perfectly. One of the standout features is that there’s no music, which makes it a peaceful and welcoming environment. It’s a rare gem that feels both high-quality and family-friendly. Sahara Grill is easily my go-to place for a great halal dining experience. Highly recommended!

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Sahara Grill in Whitechapel for their exceptional service during our work Christmas party. The manager attentively listened to my requests and ensured that our reservation was handled with the utmost care, creating a delightful experience. The venue itself was both elegant and immaculate, complemented by a helpful staff. The robotic server added a fun and impressive element to our evening. Sami, our host, was particularly outstanding—his generosity and assistance were pivotal in making our Christmas celebration a resounding success. I highly recommend visiting the Whitechapel branch; the food was truly remarkable, and I look forward to returning in the future. Sanjay joshi Philpot street postoffice

I was here with my friends and everything seemed good , but after 24 hours we all ended up in the hospital with food poisoning, I will definitely never return to this restaurant again it's ridiculous with such a big name like Sahara Grill to have brought the food unprepared.

Brilliant service and good. Samir was very helpful and took care of us.

Ordered a rump steak which is usually a thick big cut, but I received a piece smaller than the palm of my hand and it came with a handful of chips. You could literally count all the chips on the plate. 21 quid for that?? Ridiculous sizes and overpriced as hell. Ovoid.

Went for a staff Christmas party and would highly recommend going again. A special thank you to Sami for his food and drink recommendations, it was great

Wooow Wooow Wooow veeerrryyy impressed with service from OMAR absolutely 💯 👏 👌 amazing service! SAHARA Is the goooo.... hunnyyy the foood ulaaalaaa marvellous 👍 😀 😎 especially the steak 😋 👌

Very disappointed and I write this with a Heavy heart. I have been going to Sahara grill for over 12 years. I have always been a huge fan of the Buffalo wings. Back then, there was hardly any places doing Halal Buffalo wings that tasted Authentic. Recently I have noticed a change in Sahara grills Portion sizes. The prices have gone up gradually but the Portions have reduced massively. It upsets me, as Most of the Workers are respectful practising brothers. The owners are very respectful and seem Religious too. If Owners do happen to read this please fear Allah & Fear Baraqah maybe lost. You have put your prices up but you are trying to reduce portions. Help us to help you. I would pay £11.95 for Buffalo wings if you can promise to give me 10 peices or 5 wings cut in Half. Like I previously mentioned I have been coming here for over a decade. Its always been 5 Buffalo wings with the Option to have it cut in half. If 5 wings are cut in half that makes it 10pcs. Also it used to cost £7.95! Back in the days. But Recently I ordered takeaway and I got 7 pcs and paid £11.95! Thats ridiculous . Im happy to pay the inflation but give me 10pcs of wings. Shepherds pie for Kids was extremely spicy. So it made me Question was the Famous Half chicken used as left over/Chicken not used and revamped into Shepherds pie. Honestly quality is slipping and I dont it will last long. Yours sincerely a once upon a time, Regular loyal customer.

Zakir was really good. Great service

I recently made an order for collection a kids chicken shepherd's pie for my son and the buffalo wings for myself. The kids shepherd pie was awful, not enough of the chicken pie and most of it was covered in sloppy lumpy mash. For a kids meal the shepherds pie was extremely spicy. I got my sister to taste it just for a second opinion and she agreed that was it was too spicy for a kids meal. The buffalo wings we have previously ordered and there has been no issues. We always get ten however this time there was only 6 wings. Over all the buffalo wings are tasty but it’s just annoying when you come home to see they haven’t given the usual amount. Kids shepherds pie could definitely improve.

Even though we didn't book a table, they managed to arrange a walk in for 9 people within 10 minutes which was brilliant. Our food came out in good time, and as always the the food quality is brilliant. Special thank you to Saif who looked after our table, great service!

Really good food, always tasty. Great service from Azim.

Excellent service. Great menu option. Was served by Azeem.

10/10 service from Amir and the good lived up to the expectations. Will definitely return 👌🏻👍🏻

Whole group enjoyed. Recommended.

Lovely food as per usual, I am a frequent customer and never had any complaints. Saifullah was extremely helpful and well mannered will continue to return back again and again.

Delicious food, great hummus, nice atmosphere and amazing service by SAIFULLAH, a true gentleman, who was very attentive and made us feel right at home. Will definitely visit again.

Huge shoutout to Saifullah for the amazing hospitality! Also, delicious food as always!

Ridiculous prices for tiny, mini ,miniature, 5 grill chops £19.95. DISSAPOINTED!!

Very good steak and toffee pudding and prawns

Azim amazing work lovely service

regular customer here for 7 years but not going back again. I got a main the size of a side the portion size has reduced so much and the prices have gone up I got 5 lamb chops for £22 something but it looked like 2 chops cut to make 5.. they were so thin even a side has more both meals we ordered were tiny portions come on Sahara! they actually have nice tasting food but that’s not enough for a person and I really used to like this place

Azim was very lovely and a great host! Food was great

Had lunch here during our trip to London. Enjoyed the burgers, wings and chicken steak.

Had a prayer corner to pray after eating making it fully halal.

Great food and lovely service from Zakir! ❤️
