    Ordered the chicken wrap and asked to make it spicy... They didn't disappoint 🙌 warp was delicious ans spicy! Service was quick and everyone was nice and friendly. Little sitting area just outside as you wait with beautiful flowers against the wall and a huge tree with bright pink flowers. Highly recommend 👌

    Excellent. Just a reminder, this is cash only as of March 2020, but the food is excellent. I had the hummus wrap, and my wife had the potato wrap. Highly recommend it when you're on Barbados.

    My family and I recently had a wonderful dining experience at Sahara Arabic Grill in Barbados. We ordered two Chicken Kabob wraps with fries and a drink, and we were not disappointed. The food was simply delicious, with the right balance of spices and flavors. What really stood out for us, however, was the exceptional service we received from one of the owners who greeted us as we entered the establishment. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome, he was extremely patient and offered recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed for our meal. The atmosphere at Sahara Arabic Grill was also very inviting and cozy. However, we would love to suggest adding hookah to the menu to truly enhance the Middle Eastern atmosphere and transport guests to the region. Overall, we highly recommend Sahara Arabic Grill to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic dining experience in Barbados. From the amazing food to the outstanding service, everything was perfect, and we can't wait to return for another meal soon.

    I'm a big fan of Lebanese style food. I was really delighted to find it here in Barbados and it's right around the corner from the hotel I'm staying at. We enjoyed the grilled chicken (shish taouk) and the salad (fettouche) a lot. The prices are reasonable and we ate like kings! update: 2nd visit. The beef was delicious! The food was meticulously prepared and the wait for takeout was reasonable. Only wish you offered desserts like a nice piece of baklawa. 3rd visit...I can't stay away from this place. When you walk by you can smell what's grilling and it makes me hungry! Great friendly place!

    Great food and service. We ordered the falafel plate; the falafel was fresh, and the salads also tasted fresh. They make the bread fresh on location which is great. The patio is spacious. One of the few Arabic restaurants in Barbados, definitely recommended!

    Ask at check out the size of the fries and was told it is a large fries but they did not show me the size of the container. When I got my food and saw the container the fries was in it came in a small container. As long as I am in Barbados I will never eat here again. Wish I could upload a picture of this container, the smallest container in food service. Edited to reply: If that was the case I would not took time out of my busy day to write a review. I know how the food service goes and the size of food containers that is why I was persistent and ask the size and to see but the guy who was at check put told me it is a large container size but didn't showed me. Now I might be a Barbadian but I was living overseas for years and I do not know that Barbados use small food containers for a large serving of food. I never seen it like that where I live nor have I experienced that in Barbados only at this establishment. As I said I will never eat here again just for the fact that they were not straight forward with the size of the food container. If I am going to spend my money at your establishment I expect straight forward service and service that I can decide on my own because I would never buy fries in a small container that is being sold as large fries.

    One of my places to eat on the island. Very consistent with their quality as well. Only thing they are missing is waterfront view.

    Can't ever go wrong with the lamb wrap which is my go to comfort food. Staff gets to know your preferences and always treats you with a friendly approach.

  • 5/5 Missy & A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great fresh food, lots of vegetarian options. We got the vegetarian platter with falafel and it was delicious.

    I had a chana okra and eggplant roti and it was fantastic as usual with all of the sauces

    Fresh, delicious, amazing food..

  • 4/5 Lesta N. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food, I love Arabic food because of the great exotic, vibrant and mouthwatering flavours, its really nice food. Just don't ask for a printed menu so you can order later. And also order early as the place close at 7.30pm. That's something I haven't grasped like why would a food serving place close so early

    Delicious fish platter!

  • 4/5 ryan L. 4 years ago on Google
    I’ve been here a few times now the Food is definitely good and is fresh the lamb is always well cooked. I forgot they don’t do orders if you have a foreign number but they were still kind enough to cook my lunch before I showed up yesterday. Good place for a quick bite

  • 5/5 Dominic S. 2 years ago on Google
    Consistently delicious food although a little on the pricey side and unfortunately dont take cards.

  • 5/5 Sarah C. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is always delicious no matter what you order. It's fresh and full of flavour! Mine and hubby's favourite go to lunch spot. So happy we've found this place. The staff and family there are also very sweet and kind! About to head out the door to pick up two beef platters :) PS. If the Baklawa is available, GET IT!!

    Food was terrible

  • 5/5 Alissa N. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food! The chicken platter was extremely moist with perfect spices. The hummus was great also. Highly recommend for anyone in the area. Visiting all the way from Florida!

  • 5/5 Monica M. 6 years ago on Google
    Perhaps the best falafel we’ve ever had. Crisp on the outside, perfectly seasoned, topped with fresh garnish. If we lived in Barbados, we’d eat here every week. Great food and service. Order ahead as they make everything fresh to order.

  • 5/5 Nathalie C. 2 years ago on Google
    Big Recommendation! Very fresh and tasty food - and also very friendly stuff!! You should definetly stop by 😍

  • 4/5 Fawad Ud D. 4 years ago on Google
    Good mediterranean food. The taste is good and authentic but the portions are bit less. But would definitely visit again!

  • 5/5 Merilyn L. 6 years ago on Google
    Great falafel and wraps. Most authentic arabic food I've found on the island so far.

  • 5/5 Andrew R. 5 years ago on Google
    Delicious food no matter what you get.

  • 5/5 Severine W. 4 years ago on Google
    The best arabian food on the island by far

  • 2/5 Don W. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food but twice expensive then Ali Baba because of all the extra charges for things that should be included. Because the owenr responded we did a comparison and the same meal that cost $56 at Sahara was just $30 and the competition and it tasted just as nice...

  • 5/5 Ralph H. 3 years ago on Google
    Best lunch on the island! Excellent food cooked perfectly. Find it hard to find a fault. Not a big falafel guy but... wow! Unbelievably tasty. A must visit for lunch.

  • 4/5 Kay A. 4 years ago on Google
    I like their lamb wraps. Only thing I order

  • 4/5 Joshua C. 4 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed the food and the staff was friendly. The downfall is that you only get one skewer of meat with the platters. It was also the first place that gave a $0.95 usd to $2bbd. Everywhere else has used a $1usd to $2bbd. FYI: $60BBD for the two platters

  • 5/5 Oliver W. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Fast and inexpensive very tasty food. Chicken wrap and fallafel wrap with humus are recommended (Original) Schnelles und preiswertes sehr leckeres Essen. Chicken Wrap und Fallafel Wrap mit Humus sind zu empfehlen

  • 4/5 Colborn C. 3 years ago on Google
    Tasty food and the homemade pita's are the best.

  • 5/5 Ali M. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing food, ordering is a little over complicated and I'm not sure why the restriction on bread but it was worth the visit and we will return.

  • 5/5 chithradevi d. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good service

  • 2/5 M A. 4 years ago on Google
    This is more of a carry out restaurant than a formal one. They do NOT accept credit cards. So be prepared. They will take US dollars but will give back local currency in change, not US dollars. Very irritating and inconvenient. Apparently they also do not have/offer ketchup up. Which is odd when you order French Fries. The food is tasty and fresh. Everything is made to order. The restaurant itself is in a older plaza away from the main areas. Had they been more flexible or accommodating I may have given them a higher review. I doubt I will be back.

  • 4/5 Victoria C. 4 years ago on Google
    Food here tastes delicious even though they took a bit long..... Location is okay... Most likely you won't get a park near you will have to park by the beach parking area and walk the rest of the way....

  • 5/5 Richard P. 4 years ago on Google
    Got there late and thought we would get old food and tired service. Just the opposite. I would highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Dominique 4 years ago on Google
    The food is simply amazing therefore it is worth all the "jumping through hoops" with them. Some things cannot be served by itself, some things cannot be on the side, some things are sold out, some things are not in the menu, cash only, order online and your order maybe be rejected, etc. Not a good business strategy nor customer-friendly. Very confusing ordering requirements. But the staff is friendly. The prices just OK, however the food is amazing!!! Tip: Make sure you do not get there after 6 pm as a lot of things are sold out. They close at 7:30 pm.

    Foods here are very good. I would recommend to friends and family. Location is okay from Bridgetown, but parking is a little densed.

  • 5/5 Kris S. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, great portions, and most important the people there are friendly and awesome

  • 4/5 Tom C. 4 years ago on Google
    We’ve been to this place and plan to return - best hummus on the island. We didn’t try too much other than tabouli and hummus but hope to on our return.

    I've eaten at Sahara several times on my trip and have yet to try a dish that I didn't absolutely love. (The lamb platter is a particular favorite.) Everything is crafted to perfection and plated beautifully — even for takeaway! (See photos.) You can tell everything is made with meticulous attention to detail, yet the wait time is never too long, even when it's busy. It's definitely a fast casual stop. This family-owned place is a hidden gem. I can't recommend it highly enough. Well worth the time to stop by, even if it's out of your way.

    Service is really good and friendly. The chicken wrap was tasty. The falafel was brown on the inside and tasted awful. I’m used to it being bright green on the inside.
