Sahara - Parramatta

Conveniently located on Argyle St, the dining precinct of Westfield Parramatta, this Restaurant offers a fine balance of authentic Turkish, Middle East & Mediterranean cuisine. With a mix of modern and Middle Eastern influenced decor, it gives off a warm and exotic dining experience. Love the lamb shanks. Cooked to perfection with the succulent meat falling off the bone, these oven-braised lamb shanks are the epitome of comfort food. Served with beautiful red bourgogne sauce poured over broccoli and a bed of smooth, buttery and flavourful mashed potatoes. Absolutely divine! The dessert (mammas surprise) is to die for! Highly recommend!

A group of 20 visited this restaurant for a farewell dinner we ordered the Harlem banquet which was $50 a head drinks were available at your own cost. The food was plentiful and yummy. Mark Sydney Australia

Incredible friendly service and even better meals. We have been here several times and the food never fails to impress us. Not too expensive either.

From the outside I'm actually not the biggest fan of the decor. I don't personally find it inviting or warm in particular, and the few times I've gone to the Parramatta Sahara, the place has actually been empty. I do love the dipping platter, and the seekh platter too, along with the turkish tea. Prices can be a little steep for the amount that you are getting, but this place does make their meats really well.

We went twice. The food is not fussy, just well cooked and presented. Good fresh ingredients, nicely combined and not too expensive.
