A few of us dropped in after work. They accommodated us by opening earlier, and taking orders in advance so no waiting time on arrival. Very helpful. The orders ranged between kobedas and chicken. The feedback was glowing. Food was grilled to perfection. Salad was crunchy and fresh. The bread was fluffy. No complaints at all.

Came all the way from Bradford and worth the journey. Food absolutely bangin in my mouth. Recommend the mix fajita chicken panini and chicken steak and if you want an upgrade go for the melt chicken steak. Kids loved it and the owners were really nice. Met the owner can't remember but think he was called cube was a very top gentleman Good service aswell by the young lads. Will be coming back definitely Best spot in rochdale hands down 👏👏

Visited yesterday evening while on route to visit a friend. It was really busy, currently Ramadan. But managed to get a table for two straight away. This is the first time I've been to the new location, as I was living out of Rochdale for a couple of years. Ordered chicken biryani, double kobedi, keema peas, samosa chaat, rotis. All came with fresh salad and sauces. Presented really well. All really tasty. For me the keema was a little under seasoned. But still really good. Kobedis were delicious. Service was quick and polite. Venue clean throughout. Will definitely visit again

Early doors evening meal- difficult choice with all the great menu options. We went for a large platter and had fries as a side. Service was good/ welcoming and rapid but not fussy. The meat samosas were excellent- full of meat filling. Lamb chops done to perfection [chargrilling makes the difference]. Chicken tikka and kebab great as was it all really. Nice salad [just enough]. But the fries- = fresh and crispy= the best ever. The only down side was the £2.25 for a small bottle of sprite. All in all a good meal out and will return

Have been a regular customer for years, but this place has gone so downhill. Especially when you order takeout, my children have always found hairs in their food and they were literally stuck inside the food, the chips are always dry and hard, almost as if they have refried them. I have had to ring back a couple times because they would give me the wrong order and would forget other stuff like Naan and salad with our fajita. Naan was still very hard and the chicken wrap has no flavor at all.

Came all the way from Bradford to get dissapointed with the service and quality of food. The best sellers recommended by the gangster waiter were terrible. Lamb chops undercooked, fish was swimming in oil and the hummas was tasteless. Chicken steaks were like cardboard and donner was like eating rubber band. The chips were dry like the sahara desert (wonder if thats why they are called Sahara Grill). Ended the meal with terribe customer service as the staff were eager to get home before closing time. Dissapointed is an under statement. First and last visit. Lets hope the kitchen staff sort themselves out. P.s they can also do with a proper menu, not just papers stapled like a school assignment.

I used to visit Sahara Grill back before the refurbishment - the food has got even better. Recently visited with my Mrs (12/06/21) Alhamdulillah space was good and a lot variety of food to order from and got served and waited on excellently amazing manners and respect. The food was amazing fresh and my Mrs loved it (she is very picky eater) she really loved the Chicken Kebab on naan and the Biryani and extra fries. I had the Melt Fillet Steak amazing and the Sahara Salad. I used to have the mix fajitas with half rice and half chips but went to the steak this time (wasn't disappointed). They also have 2 areas where you can eat inside some where quiet for families and somewhere there is a lot noise between customers which is great in my eyes for privacy. The only thing I can say 2 down sides (please do not take offence just giving my honest review) but in my eyes its nothing major they are a tad expensive (but the food it worth it) and the portions are slightly smaller compared to previously when I used to visit (not a big issue in my eyes other friends have stated the same) or it could be the way the present the food but I am sure if you request extra chips/food they will be willing to honour your request. **EDIT/UPDATE** Changing from 4 Stars to 5 Stars since eating a lot more out in the Greater Manchester, Bradford and Leeds region this place is one off the best restaurant I have been too, would 100% recommend to family and friends. Parking can be a pain but nothing major. Food is always fresh on point, never had an issue with it being cold or anything. My Mrs loves the Biryani here (she is very picky). Only once I was given the wrong food but it was rectified within 10 minutes (not a big issue), the staff are super friendly and so is the owner.
