If you have taste buds then go elsewhere. This restaurant has managed to extract the flavour out of the meat and leave it in the kitchen, I'm actually considering vegetarianism. You'd probably get more flavour from a piece of cardboard covered in gold leaf. The rice was nice though.

My friend and I had a brilliant time last weekend. The venue is beautiful, with a great atmosphere. Our food was really good and came out quicker than I expected. We had a really lovely server who was very friendly and attentive, but annoyingly, I forgot to ask for her name. She checked on us regularly to make sure everything was fine and was more than happy to go out of her way to make sure we had an enjoyable time. Will definitely visit again.

Some of the photography and website advertisement give a false representation of this restaurant. Nothing special, location and restaurant decor is very nice so my expectation of the quality of food were pretty high especially after glancing at the menu prices on their website, I was expecting quality steaks but I didn't quite get that. Appetiser options are poor, no wings or varieties. Their steaks are expensive yet do not come with any chips/fries. Fries are £4.99!!! My T-Bone with fries cost me £41 then add sauce and drink you are looking at £50 per person. For £60 I could eat lavishly at Sahara Grill with a second person, incl. wings and drinks. We ordered Beef Taco's and it was around £11 for 2, bland beef curry inside taco, no taste just mushy meat and dribbling sauce. Steak was salty, burnt no real special flavour. I used the Mushroom sauce which was an extra £3 as they don't provide gravy sauce. It was just too bland, they chucked few beans and few tomatoes again, disappointing. I rather they give sauce or fries instead of all that. Fries were the best in this meal, well cooked and tasted good with pepper and sauces. Also, they charge for service and we did not hang around for desserts as it was overall a disappointing experience. I am being generous with 2 stars, if I rate this out of 10 probably will be a generous 4 stars because of decor and fries.

Positive experience! Very friendly and entertaining staff! The golden baklava is a must! And the dynamite prawns were surreal...

Small improvement factor, maybe try to have subtle and soft volume of music so its not hard to hear each other when dining with friends or family!!!

Will definitely come back for more!!

For the price tag, I would expect better service. The table was not set when you get to it. My fork was uneven, one of the steaks were overcooked and the drinks are overpriced. Needs more attention to detail for this price. The atmosphere is great, love the fire show but it did get very smoky which was affecting my daughters eyes. Food & drinks (mocktail was £10) is overpriced. Waitress and waiters was inexperienced and not very friendly or smiley. Apart from the guy who did the fire, he was very enthusiastic. Not sure I would go back! Birthday celebration was really cool though.

All our food is Halal. No alcohol served,
