Sahara Cafe & Grill

Good hookah. Terrible food. Place was horrible and pricey. Service was decent. Not going back and would not recommend this place. Extremely shady and unsafe neighborhood especially after dark. No parking near by so I had to walk 2 blocks in this neighborhood. I didn’t want to leave because I honestly did not think I’d make it to the car without getting attacked or robbed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently dined at Sahara Cafe and Grill in Richmond, and I can’t praise it enough! We ordered the Lamb Chops, Lamb Kebab, and Lamb Koftaa, and each dish was absolutely delicious. The lamb was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, offering a wonderful blend of flavors that were both rich and aromatic. The Lamb Chops were tender and juicy, with a delightful smoky char that enhanced their taste. The Lamb Kebab was succulent and flavorful, showcasing a perfect balance of spices. The Lamb Koftaa was equally impressive, with a moist texture and a burst of authentic Mediterranean flavors. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, and the service was top-notch. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed for a great dining experience. If you’re in Richmond and looking for a place that serves mouth-watering lamb dishes, Sahara Cafe and Grill is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Pleasantly surprised. Food was cooked to order and very flavorful. My bf from Morocco was happy with the meal also. Quiet space. Thanks for a good birthday dinner.

The food is phenomenal. The cook is experienced at cooking Middle Eastern dishes, and everything always smells and tastes superb. The furnishings are a little older, but this is mostly a hookah bar. You must try the Moroccan tea and the Kabsah. Most people pick up food here, but you are welcome to dine inside.

The restaurant is kind of a hole in the wall, but the food was amazing. The staff were so kind and helpful. I will be returning frequently in the future. If you are looking for a laid back and authentic meal, this is the place for you
