Reviews for Sahara Restaurant in Manville, NJ
Have wanted to visit this place for years but never really got around to it. What a mistake! The food, service and atmosphere... were all amazing! They start you off with fresh pita bread made in they're pizza oven, delicious! We had one of the hummusappetizers first then 1 chicken, 1 lamb and 1 salmon dinner. We all loved our food. Portions were huge, we all brought foodhome! I definitely recommend! Oh and it's BYOB! Read more

The food was wonderful, very little wait time to get a table. Food came out quickly. Very reasonable price for the quality and... quantity of food you get. We got our entree before our salads, drink refills were slow, and they ran out of what we ordered fordessert so had to select something else. But overall it was a lovely experience. Read more
Pita was awesome, really fresh and tasty. Lemonade was also very good. Almost nothing else was even decent, including the... service. The place was empty when we went, around 3pm on a Sunday, but it took a good few minutes for the staff to come over tothe front desk and seat us. We were clearly visible by a few of the staff that were standing by the brick oven, but it took abit for anyone to come over. We ordered two appetizers and a salad, but the salad never came. What did come was calamari and“Mediterranean shrimp.” The calamari was chewy, but it was tasty, and the marinara sauce that came with it was also good -it had some hints of warm spices you might expect in Turkish food. The Mediterranean shrimp was described as “blackened,seared shrimp, Parmesan crusted, with balsamic reduction.” Picture shows the shrimp with precisely zero blackening or spiceand not even a hint of parmesan - seemed like it was just lightly floured and fried. Not sure the liquid on the plate wasbalsamic reduction; the shrimp was just wet with something that tasted more like general Tso’s chicken than anything else.Could have just been a bad day, and there’s definitely some potential to be had with the environment, but it wasn’t a goodexperience at all this time out.
