Lovely restaurant! Finally a Morrocan restaurant in Hove! This little gem has newly opened and we…read moreare grateful for that. It oozes Morrocan charm from the moment you walk in through the old Morrocan doors. The effort that has been put into this restaurant is more than apparent; from the ceiling lights to the Small tagine pots cemented in around the top of the bar. It truly was a delight to eat in a restaurant with such ambiance. The restaurant offer a more secluded eating area at the back to seat around 10-15 people on traditional seating which essentially are large thick cushions on the floor.It looks beautiful and can be booked in advance for larger groups (birthday dinner etc). They are also working on the upper floor which should be available for party hire. Now on to the food as i could go on forever about every little detail of this beautiful restaurant. For starters i had the cheese and spinach bourek which was lovely it was a decent portion and not too oily which as it is fried i am sure many know how restaurants can go wrong with this simple starter. For the main course i went for a lamb tagine and i wasn't disappointed, it was delicious. It burst with all the right flavors and was a very generous portion.Those of you who enjoy Morrocan/North African food will love this place, I have yet to try out other dishes on there menu but i can tell you something i may soon become a regular at this local gem! Enjoy!!

The lady's in here came to our rescue. We walked in to a beautiful African styled room with large bar at the rear. Plenty of seating around the room and a lovely inviting bar tender on the bar and ready to serve. Emma ordered a iced, vanilla chai tea latte using almond milk. I ordered an interesting looking Cornish beer from the fridge. For food we had some interesting potato wedges. The next great point was that they offered a student discount allowing us to save a few pennies. Next up was the quality of the food and drink. I couldn't fault anything with any of the products or people here. Other nice factors were the little phone charging safe attached to the wall. Defiantly a place that is worth a visit.

We had a very unfortunate experience here the other Friday evening. We were looking for somewhere…read morefor an inexpensive bite to eat with a friend, and outside Sahara was an 'A' board advertising as its headline 'Set Lunch £6.95, Dinner £8.95'. In the adjacent window the set menu selection looked very good, with plenty of lamb, chicken and vegetarian options. This hit the spot so we went in. We were given menus, but found no sign of the set menu at £8.95. We asked about it, and were treated to a rather loud and slightly embarrassing exchange between the waitress and kitchen of 'are we doing a set menu tonight?' which went on for a few minutes. The waitress then said they weren't - the offer was only on weekdays, which did not include Fridays. We pointed out they were advertising it outside (with no caveats about which nights it applied to). Then another member of staff appeared, and suggested the weekend set menu - which, at £38 for two, was more than double the price. I pointed out that they were advertising something different outside - after all, it's not a great effort to take in an 'A' board. He just repeated that the offer was on Mondays to Thursdays only. We felt ripped off - we'd been lured in on a false premise. We left with a bad taste in our mouths - so can't actually comment on the food...

I noticed India mentioning that Sahara can be a little bit pricey, but this can be avoided if you come between Monday and Thursday. During these days/nights, you can get 2 courses from as little as £6.95 (£8.95 in the evening). If like me, you are big on trying to take advantage of these promotions, Sahara is definitely a restaurant that should be added to your list of potential choices. I had a mixed meat dish served with couscous and salad, I can say with all certainty that I was not disappointed. Sahara is good alternative to the more Western restaurants, I could certainly see myself heading back.
