"Visited Sahara Grill with family earlier on this evening. Was pleasantly surprised that we were seated quickly and were advised on how to access the menu. We arrived during prayer time so the kitchen was closed which we found very respectful. The overall atmosphere was peaceful and calm.However within 10 minutes the kitchen had re-opened again and we were asked for our order. Our waiter was well knowledged on the menu and advised us what was best. Our starters arrived very quickly and was delicious. The sahara passion Mocktail was a dream, very refreshing and full of flavour.The mains arrived very quickly too and really stole the show, both our steak and lamb meals were cooked to perfection, perfect portion size, full of flavour and meats were juicy, it was evident that alot of prep went into the marination and cooking. Cant fault this restaurant at all. Service was impeccable, staff were very friendly and came over for a chat, management were always seen and ensured everything ran smoothly. Huge thanks to Muhammad who took good care of us and gave our son a complimentary brownie with ice cream for his birthday.We would deffo come back here and try all the other items on the menu as we know the food is prepped and cooked well.Very fresh, very tasty, clean and friendly atmosphere. Respectful of peoples’ beliefs and great ambience.Management have done an amazing job of keeping and setting standards. Keep up the good work team"

"We are a native Portuguese family and are therefore accustomed to Portuguese cuisine. This was by far one of the worst experiences I have ever encountered in the UK. When asked if the restaurant had Portuguese bread, the waitress very openly admitted that they abandoned conventional Portuguese bread for Tesco alternatives. The bread in question was not bad but it was terrible to hear they didn’t have authentic Portuguese breads available. As an alternative we were offered ciabatta. The selection of foods available on the menu were good. We weren’t alarmed by the high prices as authentic Portuguese restaurants in the UK have a tendency to be a bit pricey. But you pay for authenticity. This was not the case. When the food arrived we noticed the side dishes potatoes, rice, and vegetables were from a packet. Conventionally potatoes are boiled so we were surprised to see Aunt Bessie’s with a touch of seasoning presented to us. The rice is without question from a pack maybe uncle bens or tilda which is pitiful to say the least. The products that were fresh within our meal featured meat and fish. These were average at best. Fish was over cooked, and the steaks were undercooked. Considering the establishment employs Portuguese people it’s embarrassing that they aren’t bothered to cook fresh food. Having said that the place is beautiful and very well decorated, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Dishes are presented very nicely it’s a shame the freshness and quality isn’t there. Needless to say we will not be returning to this establishment and I’m sorry but I couldn’t recommend anyone go there either."
