Sahara Grill Whitechapel is a halal steakhouse and grill on New Road, part of a London restaurant group founded in 2004. The dining room is built around generous portions, bold seasoning and an informal welcome suited to families, groups and diners looking for a substantial meal.
Flame grilled chicken, beef steaks, lamb, burgers and seafood form the heart of the menu. Cuts can be paired with signature spices, chilli, herbs and rich sauces, while sauté dishes and fajitas add onions, peppers and gravy to create fuller plates.
Appetisers include wings, lamb chops, prawns, halloumi, hummus and mixed Mediterranean dips served with toasted pitta. Large platters combine grilled meat with salad, chips or seasoned rice, making it easy for several guests to share different elements of the kitchen.
Fresh juices, mocktails, frappes and soft drinks provide cooling matches for the spice, followed by familiar hot puddings and other sweet finishes. Takeaway and delivery complement the dine in service, giving customers several ways to order from the Whitechapel branch.
Address: 49–53 New Road, Whitechapel, London E1 1HH, United Kingdom
