Sahara Restaurant & Banquet Hall

Went for dinner buffet with the family a few months ago. Was not impressed. the food was so-so at best. the nihari was the only item that was good. Do not think I will be going back.

A friend of mine invited us to this place over the weekend. We tried their buffet dinner which was quite limited. Taste was below average, especially nihari was very salty and didn't taste like nihari. Waiter was a bit rude to my friend when my friend asked him to bring some water for us. Even though ambience was not bad, but we will not return to this place.

Me & Husband went there today for lunch, must say we had the worst experience, food was stale and taste less, chicken biryani and salad both were stinky, fish and kebab must be day old .. and to top this all, while having corn soup, we found a "Baby Cockroach" in bowl...seems there kitchen is infested,called the server and showed him the roach,his reaction was like"hmm i don't know how it came there" anyways we paid and left. Won't return for sure, Please don't waste your money by going there.

I liked the good though it is not fresh and they hardly fill in the buffet. The service is slow and usually there is 0-1 person looking after customers. Reasonably priced for a buffet. Every time we go there our clothes smell Indian food!

Excellent Food, tasty and in good quantity, it was ifftar buffet, good arrangement for prayers, servers were polite and pleasant. The Restaurant was full there was no space left, dishes were being replenished fast, the food was fresh.

ASA. First of all I would like to inform all that this restaurant has new owners now and they are running it very well. Just visited this place on Friday 7th June with a party of 30 people. Food was fresh, tasty and plenty of choices were available in the buffet. Food quality was very good and I must say that we had such a nice food after a while in Canada. The Bbq dishes were not upto the mark but everything else was awesome including the sweet dishes. Cleanliness and decor was great and the service was very friendly. I know people didnt like this place before but now you should try it. Highly recommended..:-)

Horrible buffet. Everything was cold and tasted really bad. We came home with upset stomachs. The entire time we were eating some wierd lady kept watching us from behind the counter. It was uncomfortable.

the only thing fressh here is naan and the kababs...stay away from everything else

Kebabs on menu are good. I don't like their Buffet.

I was there yesterday with a group of 15. The food was average (3 stars) but I will give them an additional star because they made accommodations for us to pray.

I don't know what to say, reading all the good reviews I went there yesterday. Buffet was quite limited and 5-6 of the 10 items were fillers (e.g. phulki, fried potato, stale battura and naan). Most stuff did not look appeasing to begin with. I started with cholla/battura, should have known better to have a stale battura which felt like rubber, cholla were relatively hard, could have cooked a little longer. Next was dahi-phulki, dahi was fine, phulki was more of a door stop, so hard that a spoon wouldn't go through it. Next was some sort of chicken curry. It was extremely sour and chicken had something wrong, the whole thing turned into non-textured paste in the mouth. On bit of a positive note, kabab and naan just happened to be fresh and tasted ok, nonetheless I have had better. Lunch buffet turned out to be just kabab and naan, nothing else was worth it. Personally, this is the last time I will be going there, I really don't know if I had bad luck or if the food quality really is always this bad. In any case, doesn't matter, if they are going to let food be bad once, it can happen again. Save your money, go elsewhere.

The Food Used to be decent perhaps a few years back.. Lately, The quality has gone down significantly. The place is pricey and EXTREMELY POOR on service. I went to pick up Soup which I had ordered over the phone by looking at the Price online which I was told is not the same price anymore. I arrived at the resto and told the Waiter they should update their pricing online it's not fair that people plan an order based on wrong pricing. I wasn't offered a credit or any service gesture or even an courteous apology. I find them a little arogant at times too.

I called this place 3 times to ask where they buy their meat from, but not once did i get a straight answer from them. Recently i found out that they buy from MAPLE LODGE which is completely haram. So be careful when you eat at any of these places SAHARA, SALT N' PEPPER and PERI PERI, all owned by the same person.

Many food items you will find something that you like, lunch is around $13.00 plus tax/tip and dinner is around $17 plus tax/tip on weekend and if you are with kids half price at age 4 -10 which get expensive with family with young kids. Dinner had more items.

I will rate this place as 4.7 out of 5 and this rating is on the basis of my regular visits to various lunch buffets all across GTA and Ontario due to business travels. If they are charging $12.5 for lunch buffet, they are justified! Their menu gives much much more than an average desi menu of any lunch buffet. Probably this is the only buffet that is giving high quality samosas and the number of items specially the meat items are so many with other veggie fillers. The quality is at a very high end catering all tastes may you be a desi or any other race, you will enjoy as it is from mild to medium spice side. The ambience, seating area furniture, cutlery etc and their cooking style is very professional. Highly recommended! Improvements needed= Dahi baras and the beef curry, where meat stink can be felt but it is with every body as the process to get rid of that stink is not economincal, BUT a highly recommended place where you can be happy alone or with any company

really good food.....this place is awesome

Excellent dining atmosphere. Quick and friendly service. Tasty food and reasonable prices. The all you can eat buffet does complete justice to the desi appetite. Everytime we go here, it's a complete intense experience with try this and try that. Ofcoure if you're the one dish person, go ahead with one of their specialities. The nahari is highly recommended. And if you're into desserts, drop off the plan to demetrius tonight, becuase these place has the most amazing Shahi Tukras. I would go here just for these. Hats off to the chefs! Alienix

Overall, I would say amoung the best buffet places. But food quality isnt the greatest. If you really want to eat something good, order the BBQ dishes.

Ate a few times here. Food is okay. Not very thrilling. The desserts are flavourful. My husband doesn't feel the food is worth what you pay for it. As for me, I'd give it a three out of five.

this place is good,location is good too,buffet is good; not excellent but one should try once in a while.

This is an average desi resturaunt,Most dishes they serve during lunch buffet are indian style menu such as butter chicken curry, achar curry with with chicken,keema and lamb curry with plain rice, also couple vegeterian dishes, anyway I was not excited by the taste

Assalamua'alaikum...YUMMM! The BEST food i've EVER had at a restaurant...kudos to the chef! I would DEFINITELY recommend the chicken tikka and butter chicken...*drooling*...

great food. nihari, biryani, and korma were best.

I went there first time and had really good food. They need more variety in their dinner buffet. I liked Mirchi ka salan, pakoras and biryani. They changed the name to Sahara. Must try it
