Amazing food and amazing service from Anas - highly recommend

It was a wonderful day. The food is brilliant and the service is perfect. Our waiter Anas, was so kind and helpful. Even my kids said he is the best waiter they've seen in their lives.

We was served by Anas and he was excellent and polite and food was on point as always

Azhar provided an excellent service at dinner, really looking after us all. It doesn’t get better than Sahara Grill!

Food is good and expensive but needs to upgrade the furniture and crockery , chairs are really uncomfortable and old and plates are chipped

I had a very good dinner. Atypical restaurant, the staff is very attentive and the cuisine is excellent. I will come back.

Iam the one personality who’s comes to Sahara grill as a night rider For eating Leyton branch It’s marvelous experience from Azhar brother Jazakallah khair akhii

Very good service staff was really good his name is anas I recommend this place 👍 👌

Can't believe how good the food was. Our table ordered 4 burgers, dynamite shrimp, sirloin and rib eye steak. Everything tasted soo good. On top of that the service was brilliant, felt very welcomed. My daughter loved their robot waiter, all in all it felt very high end.

Azhar was great. The service was fantastic. Sahara feast is totally worth the money.

Anas was very accommodating in his service!

Food was great and the service was even better. We had Ubayda serving us today and he was very attentive and generous. Will come again.

We have received amazing customer service from Adam from the time we had entered the restaurant to when we left. Happy customers! We are a family of 6 with 4 kids, they took care of all our needs and Adam got my children crayons and books so they can be occupied. May God bless him, such a kind hearted person. Of course the food was all amazing! Definitely will be back!

We were served by Azhar today. He is very friendly and helpful, deserves a raise! Food was great too, thanks!

Went there for a quiet lunch with my daughter. Met with a smile and welcomed. A hard was an amazing host. He recommended dishes too. Food was lovely and portions huge. Thank you for a great time.

FOOD IS REALLY GOOD. Azhar is really nice and friendly recommended the best platter

Have been coming here for a few years now. It’s a great place for families. The food is always good, the starters in particular. They no longer use any “big brand soft drinks” which is a massive plus for us (alternatives such as Salaam Cola). No alcohol is served and the menu has a good variety of food.

Azhar Very nice experience. Highly recommend. Waiter was very polite and welcoming and food was very nice. Kids meal very healthy portion size. Thanks

Anas is a great waiter, we loved his service!

Food was great. Anas served us and he provided outstanding service and ensured we were well accommodated. Thank you Sahara! My favourite place to dine out at!

Azhar's customer service was exceptional. The food was delicious.

Azhar is doing the best job over here I ordered steak and grilled chicken everything is good over here specially the person who is dealing with us is very polite and most important all the staff over here is good overall my experience is very positive

I had a 10/10 experience at this restaurant. Food was delicious and the waiter, Azhar was very hospitable and made our experience there perfect.

Azhar was the best host tonight he was really helpful , made the night very enjoyable

I had a wonderful experience at Sahara Grill tonight with my family of 14. The restaurant did a fantastic job accommodating us, and the service provided by Yahya was exceptional. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly for such a large group. The food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere made it a memorable evening. I would highly recommend Sahara Grill for anyone looking for great food and excellent service!

Service at sahara was good especially by anas

Went Monday evening with family. Food was really great. The service received from Azhar was outstanding really amazing helpful young man. Always nearby to make sure if we needed anything. Great service from Azhar. Will definitely go back.

Azhar - very good service, helpful & humble person. He assisted with meal choices & was at hand when required. Thank you for the brilliant service.

Good service, but the food left a lot to be desired... The quarter chicken meal could of done with a gravy to pour over the chicken and the rice as it was very dry to eat. Also, the choice to use steak chips as opposed to fries with the rice was a rouge pairing I thought and didn't necessarily marry well.The mocktails were also far too sweet, it was like drinking pure syrup even after the ice melted into the drink.

Good food good staff price rise is becoming ridiculous I feel like everytime I return to a Sahara branch the price increases they now want basically £20 for there choos by itself, as good as they are them small 5 chops for £20 is crazy @whatwehavingnow - on instagram for our full review & more vids/pics.

Great service! Anas was brilliant and food was great. Thank you Anas

Anas gave us great service. Everything was great , many thanks

It was a fantastic dining experience . It started of with a warm greeting from Ridwhan . Azhar was a fabulous waiter. The food was 10/10 and service was great .

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This place is an absolute go-to for my family and I! The staff are always so welcoming, friendly, hospitable and always make sure we are satisfied with everything. I’ve come here on multiple occasions and they never miss. I came last night with my family to celebrate my brother’s birthday. Although we made a last-minute reservation, the hosts were so welcoming and still made sure we had a very special time. Azhar was wonderful as always. His service and attention to detail is impeccable and he always makes sure we are happy with everything. He’s so friendly and patient as well. The food was amazing. We had the lamb shanks, wings, croquettes, scampi and lamb steaks. All of the food was cooked to perfection. The texture of the meats were beautiful, especially the lamb shanks (the meat fell off the bone!). We really had a special time and this couldn’t have been possible without all the staff from Sahara Grill. Thank you all so much!

Ridwan was so amazing, he made my experience so wholesome, id definitely recommend this restaurant to all my work colleagues, if anyone’s planning on making an appearance please ask for Ridwan, hes such a lovely human. 😃

I booked a table for 5 people, the person taking the call was very competent and professional. When going to the restaurant staff were very welcoming and friendly. We ordered a plain burger meal, Sahara chicken platter and sauté platter. We were looked after by a gentleman named Ridwan who’s very accommodating and friendly. He heard at our table the burger was spicy he immediately came over to our table and asked how we found our food and ordered a Cajun burger. I was very impressed with the level of service received from Ridwan. He made us feel comfortable. Overall experience of Sahara grill, family orientated, good service and comforting food. If you’re taking your family, your partner or a group I would highly recommend.

Firstly the service was amazing. The man who was serving us (ridwan) was extremely polite, welcoming and helpful and this goes for the rest of the staff, always smiling and very welcoming. The food was great and didn’t take long to come. A place I would visit again for sure!

Ridwan service is always excellent everytime we visit Sahara grill leyton. He is always warm, polite, friendly and professional. Great service.

RIDWAN IS A LEGEND. GET THE TEA

Absolutely loved this place. We went on a Sunday for dinner, The staff was brilliant and the service very attentive. The food arrived promptly Aqib and Anas our servers were lovely.

Food was Amazing. Anas gave us really good service

Azhar served us with amazing service and great suggestions. I had the chicken steak, and my colleague had the lamb shank which was amazing, highly recommended.

Exceptional food and customer service. Always on point. I had the very best customer service expert from Mr AZHAR... HE RECOMMENDED WHAT FOOD TO ORDER AND WAS OUTSTANDING. I HAD TO BRING THE FOOD HOME AS I WAS FULL TO THE RIM!

azhar was my waiter absolutely incredible and kept on maing sure we had eveything we need and the food was delicious

Lovely selection of food, bought on a Bot, which was very impressive. I have been coming here for years and the food is consistently good. Service is fantastic. Staff are excellent. Prayer facilities are a huge bonus. After 6.30 free parking right outside the restaurant.

Anas was a great host. He was very attentive and I was very impressed with the service. Special thanks for a great experience.

the food was good, anas provided great customer service

Everything was delicious! The waiter Aqib was also very helpful and was checking frequently if everything was fine.

I visited the Leyton branch with my wife and three kids last month and they absolutely loved it! From the moment we entered the restaurant, first being greeted by Ridwan, who probably has one of the biggest smiles in East London, to then being seated by our very talented waiter Azhar, whose customer service skills are right up there with the very best, we were made to feel like VIPs the entire evening. I did mention to the staff that it was one of the kids birthdays coming up on the Saturday and he was made to feel super special, which really just made the entire evening really special for us as a family and one we will look back on with very fond memories for years to come. The food that we ordered, from the Lamb Chops to the Dynamite Jumbo Shrimps (recommended by Azhar which was an absolute hit!) for starters, the tender Lamb Steak to the Spicy Chicken Steak to the Burger Meals for the kids for the mains, then finishing off with a great selection of desserts served with ice cream, were all absolutely top notch; the kids took several pictures on their phones as they were just so impressed with the presentation and quality of the food that they couldn't wait to show all of their friends at school and wouldn't stop talking about it in the car journey home. I want to thank Adam and team for really looking after us and the amazing hospitality shown by everyone at Sahara Grill Leyton and can't wait to come back for our next visit!

Azhar was amazing, very friendly and attentive to our needs. service was fast and atmosphere was very welcoming.

Came here last minute yesterday with a group of friends, was given nice seats and a warm welcome. The food was amazing, especially the buffalo wings. The service from Azhar was also excellent. Definitely recommend if you want a place to spend quality time with good food.

We was served by Azhar from start to finish. His service was great and was very accommodating to all our needs. Food was great.

My family and I were served by Azhar at Sahara Grill Leyton today. He provided outstanding service welcoming us and being attentive. He endured our needs were met with a genuine smile. He was considerate and kind to my brother who has cerebral palsey. Professional and helpful to our needs and explaining to us about the food option’s clearly.

Food was excellent will definitely come again! I will recommend this restaurant to many others. Azhar provided me and my family with outstanding service and wonderful experience. He made us feel welcomed to the restaurant.

Buffalo wings and the chicken steak was 10/10. I would definitely recommend also getting the dynamite shrimps too and definitely dip your food in the dynamite sauce. I went last night and had an amazing meal and experience.

The food was amazing. Loved my chicken steak and chips! Was beautifully cooked! I ordered dynamite shrimps yesterday with my food and it was the best ever!! Azhar was extremely helpful and provided excellent service to me and my companions. Thank you very much for this service and hope to see you soon.

Had a wonderful dinner the Sahara grill is delectable for those who likes a well seasoned spicy chicken 10/10 must try. And great service from Aaqib very attentive and kind x

Sahara Grill was truly memorable, thanks in large part to Aqib's exceptional service. I highly recommend this restaurant for its delicious food, inviting ambiance, and, of course, the customer service provided by Aqib. Thank you, Aqib, for making my dining experience one to remember!

The food was lovely and we had a great time. Service was amazing. Special thank you to our servers Aaquib and Anas. They were really welcoming and even helped us to charge our dying phones, going above and beyond. Would recommend!

azhar service and last minute experience very polite and well mannered will definitely come again food was amazinggg

An enjoyable afternoon. Azhar gave a fantastic service.

An excellent service. A huge thank you to Azhar for his impeccable service. Thanks

We were treated as very special guests. We were given a fabulous table, and a cordoned off place to pray as we were all women, we were treated with respect and kindness by our host Azhar who couldn’t do enough to ensure our visit was a happy peaceful and comfortable one. Compliments to the chefs and to Azhar in particular. This is our regular so we will be coming again in sha Allah

Mouth watering steak (original Chicken Sahara grill ) I loved it . Highly recommended

AZHAR - the most polite and efficient waiter in the establishment. He was smiley and patient. I highly recommend to go to Sahara in Leyton and specifically request AZHAR as your waiter for your meal. Thank you again 😊

Had an amazing time here today! had amazing service from Azhar. His attention to detail and service was incredible. Will definitely return back thanks to him! I look forward to seeing you again Azhar

My favourite place to eat. Exceptional service from Azhar who made sure all 8 guests plus the baby was okay. Nice hot food and it came quickly. Can’t wait to return.

Amazing food, atmosphere and customer service. Aaqib was great! He looked after usfrom start to finish. This is definitely one of my favourite restaurants in London.

Azhar has been a great waiter and gave us a very good service

Love this restaurant food is amazing everytime, service is always great and very fast. Aaqib is one of the best servers here :)

Very fast service, great recommendations, food was hot and fresh as well as tasty. Served by Azhar, great customer service. Happy overall.

Went last week and had such a great time. Our waiter Nezar was extremely patient and polite although I asked him for help about 25 times he didn’t even make a face or show a sign of annoyance he happily helped and I was extremely grateful for that. He gave such good service and deserves a raise for his hard work quite impressive actually! Got us our wipes and takeaway trays really fast. Ridwan was another waiter we had for the evening and he was extremely friendly, the kids loved him. Made the evening more brighter and pleasant with his presence and enthusiasm! He was running around and helping as many people as he can. Thank you Nezar and Ridwan such amazing people! (Can’t exactly remember who’s who between Ridwan and Nezar but I hope I got them right. The people within the restaurant would know 😄😄.) Lastly I want to say that I noticed Rizwan the security was not only friendly and respectful to us but his colleagues too gave a lot of support, nice to see good vibes within the team! A great colleague to have as part of a team and knows how to do his job well from what we saw! Overall 5 star experience, food was nice, bit on the pricey side but worth it for the memorable evening once in a while.

Amazing all round experience. We were looked after by Ridwan and Azhar. They were so kind to us and met our every need. Food as always was incredible to our taste buds!

Amazing food and amazing service today from Azhar

Went Saturday evening 3 of us. We ordered t bone steak and chips, beef burger, half chicken chips. The chicken was dry and very spicy didn’t eat all of it was way too hot. The steak was also extremely spicy and hot the burger was ok. Not sure if they make all this not as spicy. However we assumed it wouldn’t be spicy as menu said nothing about that and we didn’t get any options from waiter. Only plus side salad was nice.

Excellent place to relax and enjoy your meal. We were served by Azhar who was a great host and guide. There were 12 of us including 5 children, and I must say the service was excellent.

Azhar was super welcoming! The food was delicious as always 🥰 I will be coming back for more.

Azhar and Rizwan both took care of my allergies very very very thoroughly today. Everything I ordered was triple checked and I felt safe eating the food that was served to me. Also Adam was extremely nice and made our experience at the restaurant very nice, he personally made sure everything was okay for us. An amazing restaurant

Excellent service and the food was lovely. Excrllent service too by Azhar.

Azhar thank you. But where my free dessert!!!! Brilliant service from beginning to end. Had a lovely time. The room was lovely. Azhar remembered our order perfectly and was very helpful. We also loved the automatic cart!

Today was served by Azhar and Rizwan amazing staff personally took good care of all our requirements these two staff members are a asset to Sahara grill

Amazing customer service ; Azhar went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us and food was lovely! Will defo be back

I attended Sahara Grill to order a collection meal at the closing time. I requested with Mr Adam to eat in rather than take away. He kindly seated us even though it was past there closing time and gave us the most tremendous service. The food was outstanding!!! Best Sahara Grill shop I’ve been to and I have ate at every Branch.

I came in this evening and was greeted by mr.adam and Azhar and I was treated with the upmost hospitality!! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was great I didn’t even have to wait at all and food was served quickly. Could not recommend a better place to eat. Will be back soon !!

Mr. Adam and Azhar have displayed tremendous hospitality and have catered to our needs and wants. This is the type of service you would want if you’re going out to eat no matter where you go, and they have provided that 10 fold. If you want to eat at a top notch restaurant to enjoy amazing dining experience and remarkably service this is where you should go. And thank you for the experience.

Had a lovely dinner , food was very good and service was also excellent, our waiter was Azhar who did a fine job.
