Nice ambiance. But the food was absolutely terrible. Was there with a friend. I had lamb Tagine, she had chicken Tagine. Moroccan food is usually amazing, but this place screwed it up big time. Avoid!

Good food and okay service. Cocktails are really nice. Some portions a bit small and some not. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant as well.

Extremely friendly bar staff and manager. Opened up the cocktail bar just for our group of 40 for our friends' birthday. Great selection of food and drinks, unique setting and nice music. Great for a night out with both a small and a big group of friends!

I had my birthday there and had the absolute best time. We started with dinner at the restaurant, then headed up to the lounge and rooftop bar for drinks afterwards. The food was delicious and the drinks were fairly priced. Would recommend this to anyone.

Terrible food and service, long waiting time, ridiculously small proportion sizes, and I am being quite polite. This was the worst experience of my life, not to mention the rudeness of what is apparently the 'supervisor'. This place was awesome 2 years ago and it went downhill big time. As a Morrocan, I can definitely say that this place is a disgrace to the Morrocan cuisine. I am in shock that a place like this is still opened and hasn't shut down yet. I wish I could rate this place a minus 10 stars instead of a 1 star.

Good but not authentic. Moroccan don't serve tagine with rice... Although they usually serve a tagine with vegetables (even the meaty ones) and chickpeas, which were absent here. Same with the scallops served on mushy peas, I clearly never saw that one anywhere. Good flavours though and nice service.

I have been to Sahara before, and previous times have been great. However, the last time we were there, which was January 2015, we received very poor service. We were seated in a corner next to kitchen utensils on the roof top. We were not treated like valued customers. Previous times, there were never bouncers where the rooftop bar is but now there are and they have made the whole experience very unpleasant. We even had a chat with the manager, who told us that if we didn't like it, we can just go downstairs. With that kind of service, my friends and I will never go back. In terms of the food and drinks, he quality is not bad but overpriced for what it is. Also, people like going there for the shisha, but you can now get shish in many bars in Melbourne. Not worth coming here.

Great rooftop bar. Often popular but rarely too full to get a seat.
