Thank you to Azhar for the service in the private room. He was very attentive and got all of our orders right. 5 star. Very good customer service from Azhar

The food was extremely nice although surprisingly spicy… but still very flavoursome! The service was impeccable, we even had a robot delivering us food. But Azhar really made the night with his incredible and caring service! Will return but will order something less spicy next time lol

Azhar very good service and amazing hospitality. table 21

it's first time from me iam from leytonstone passing by for nice food gentlemen azhar given brilliant service

Came here with my friend today and one man the chef or worker don’t know which was shouting at another worker and discussing personal things like “her Facebook I see she’s filthy”. Whilst visiting a restaurant that’s not what we want to hear from a man that he’s talking about women’s profile on Facebook that must have rejected him it’s unprofessional and lacks ethics. Also he was shouting me and my friend felt very uncomfortable. Won’t be biding here again.

Azhar served us very well amazing service

Azhar was brilliant. Great service from start to finish.

First time coming enjoying here & I couldn’t have made a better choice. Azhar was absolutely pleasant & wonderful to have with us !!! Definitely coming back here !

Amazing evening delicious food and very good attentive servers. Thank you Azhar and Ubayda for wonderful service 👍🏾

Our family recently went for a dinner with 13 guests, and we were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service we received. We were warmly welcomed at the door by Azhar, whose professionalism and attention to detail set the tone for the evening. The food was delivered promptly, exceeded our expectations in both quality and presentation, and the wait time was much shorter than anticipated. Throughout the evening, Azhar ensured that our every need was met, checking in regularly to provide outstanding service. His dedication contributed significantly to a seamless and enjoyable experience for all.

sahara grill is very nice. anas is an excellent server!! definitely recommend

The food was very delicious and we got amazing service by Azhar.

Had an amazing experience at Sahara Grill! We went for the T-bone steaks and they did not disappoint perfectly cooked, full of flavour, and so satisfying. Definitely hit the spot. But what truly made the evening special was the service. Azhar was honestly one of the nicest servers we’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, he greeted us with such warmth and a genuine smile. He was patient, attentive without being intrusive, and made sure everything was just right throughout our meal. He checked in at all the right times, gave great recommendations, and made us feel really welcomed and looked after. It’s rare to come across such genuine hospitality, and Azhar truly stood out. His kindness and professionalism made the whole dining experience memorable. Highly recommend both the food and the service—we’ll definitely be back!

Anas was top, great customer service

Had an amazing Experience , food was great quality and the service from Azhar was exceptionally amazing

Azhar was really hospitable and helpful.

A hat beuthifully served on table, better than central London service

Tuvimos un maravilloso almuerzo en Sahara en Leyton un grupo de cuatro de nosotros, y todos nos quedamos impresionados por la deliciosa comida y el excelente servicio. Todos los platos estaban llenos de sabor, bellamente presentados y servidos calientes. Desde los titulares hasta la red, todo estaba absolutamente listo. Un saludo especial a Azhar, nuestro servidor, que realmente hizo la experiencia excepcional. Él era cálido, atento, y nos hizo sentir tan bienvenidos desde el momento en que llegamos. Sus recomendaciones eran perfectas, y se aseguró de que todo funcionara sin problemas durante toda nuestra comida. Es raro recibir un servicio tan genuino y considerado que Azhar es un verdadero crédito para el restaurante. Definitivamente volveremos. Recomiendo encarecidamente Sahara para cualquiera que busque buena comida y un mejor servicio!

Ordered food and turned up to the restaurant to collect it. The restaurant was fully booked with multiple customers queuing for a table. Despite this, the service was spot on, the brother at the till was super friendly and helpful. The order was placed with ease, prepared fast, given they were so busy it only took 15mins, the food was spot on as always at Sahara Alhamdulillah.

The food here was spectacular and the atmosphere was very relaxing. It’s a family friendly restaurant. The food came very quickly. Azhar served us today and he made our experience so lovely. He introduced himself and made the effort to take our pictures and remember our meals. He was so nice and made our evening better. Thank you Azhar.

I had an incredible dining experience at Sahara Grill in Leyton! The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was cooked to perfection and full of flavour, i recommend the Rib-eye steak, excellent flavour and perfect tenderness. The service was exceptional, Azhar served us, being very friendly and attentive to me and my family, he made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect place for a relaxed meal. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Kind and polite staff, loved the food and it wasnt too loud nor too quiet.

These guys literally invented the entire concept of super high-quality halal dining. They were true pioneers back then, and ever since, every similar styled restaurant has used Sahara Grill as the yardstick for quality, an excellent menu, top end service, and how a true quality outfit should operate in every aspect. For 20 years? they have been serving the best tasting steaks, jerk chicken, buffalo wings, and starters that you will find - anywhere. The food is always consistently and effortlessly superb regardless of which branch you visit (they have 5 in total, I think). Sahara Grill food has its own special unique flavour and taste which is one thing that hasn't been replicated (not for lack of trying) by anyone else that has come after them, and I don't think that you will find a better steak anywhere, period. So many restaurants, have subsequently tried to offer a Sahara Grill type experience, but nobody I have come across has even come close to replicating them because they have been doing it for so long, that they have perfected their food, service, environment and their systems, so everything just works like clockwork. So, if you want the best steak in London, I suggest you try the lamb filet steak 'medium rare', which actually does 'melt in your mouth'. I always had my steaks well done, as I thought they would be softer for some reason, until someone who actually knew about steaks much better than I did, suggested I try a medium rare lamb filet steak, and I am now a convert. So well done guys, and I pay homage to the first and still the best for being as close to a halal fine dining experience you can get in London (they have apparently opened a branch in Birmingham on the famous Ladypool Road so the locals will soon understand what all the fuss it about). Anyway, five Michelin stars from me and most of my friends and colleagues who no doubt hold the same opinion as I do about this excellent chain of restaurants.

This spot is a game-changer for halal steak lovers! The menu has a great mix of classics and unique dishes, all made with halal ingredients. The atmosphere is super chill, perfect for a weekend brunch. The service was friendly and quick, and the prices were reasonable. Definitely worth checking out!
