Sahara By The River offers a nice atmosphere with views of the Parramatta River, making it a great spot for group dining. The menu may not be cheap, but portion sizes are generous, leaving diners feeling satisfied. While some dishes may miss the mark in terms of taste, like the overcooked chicken or the disappointing lamb skewers, others shine, such as the dips and traditional fattoush. Despite some service hiccups, the staff overall are friendly and welcoming. The restaurant's setting by the river adds to its charm, creating a pleasant and relaxing dining experience. Overall, Sahara By The River is recommended for those looking to enjoy good food and service in a beautiful location.
