Excellent food, great service & friendly staff.
Definitely worth a visit or two. We had the mixed plate which was SO good & very filling.
Superb turkish food served by nicest and loving turkish family.
Absolutely love this place and will highly recommend to anyone who is up for real turkish food.
Always the best food in Burwood. Always fresh beautiful food. Been eating here since the early 2000's. Yummm
Devine food and lovely staff. Will be back with my friends in tow. Also, leave room for the Sahara Delight!
Best Turkish food and service. I would recommend to everyone.
Fantastic restaurant with good food, greats service in a comfy and cozy environment. Had my 21st celebration here and would definately be back. Thankyou for a great time! �
One of my favourite places to eat. Absolutely love it. Never have to wait for long. Very polite guys in there. Sometimes the only reason I will visit Burwood.
The food was excellent and the customer service. ...exceptional. Thanks for a lovely night. Prices very reasonable too. Well done.
Food was amazing. Friendly staff and service was awesome. :)
This is our favourite. We love, love, love the mixed grill and our daughter loves the Iskender. The staff are great and we always feel welcome. This is our go to restaurant for a celebration or just because.
Husband and I love coming here for their food. Everything is made so fresh and perfectly seasoned. The meats are well cooked and not dry and the guys working there have always been friendly to us. Definitely our local go-to in the area. A bit on the pricey side but worth it to us for what we are getting and how much we get as well.
Been here many times,
for takeaway had the snack packs and the kebabs, all tasting pretty good.
Dinning in, had the platters and also iskendar. Dips are flavorful and the meats are seasoned well. Floor staff are quick and have a good attitude. quality and taste are also consistent.
Come here if you want some good kebabs!
Service is a little slow and you'll pay a bit more than your average kebab shop, but it really reflects the quality of the food. The place is also decorated very beautifully. I had the mxied plate of assorted meat. Goes great with the salads and delicious aioli (I'd ask for extra aioli next time though). Also have a takeaway part of the shop on the other side where you can get amazing Adana rolls, cooked over the chargrill which you can watch.
Can’t go wrong with the gympacks!
I absolutely love the garlic mayo here..
The steak, salad, rice + garlic mayo together is probably the best duo right after a sesh of training
If i were to choose one food to eat for the rest of my life, I wouldn’t mind eating this everyday !!
Keep up the good food!!
Great ambiance and really good food.
Really enjoyed the taste of Sahara Turkish food.
Pleased with the quality and quantity of food.
Family friendly option.
Its one of the good place to try turkish food. Food was delicious and staff were also friendly. Suggest to try Iskender and Chicken Sahara.
Satisfied with the overall experience.
I went to Sahara by the Park after the movies the other night.
Food, serving people, ambience everything was great. I will def go there again
Great food... Fresh... Full of flavours and served with friendly welcoming waiters. You may have limited options if you go alone as their servings are large with no banquets for one person. Suggest you go in group to try various dips and delights along with turquish booze and beer
Sahara by the park is located just outside Westfield Burwood. They had the fine dining section as well as the takeaway ‘kebab place’ setting. This time around, we went to the fine dining area. The restaurant had quite a nice middle eastern decor. Looking at their menu, it’s a mixture of Middle Eastern dishes with some ‘local’ flavours, like salt and pepper squid and mushroom chicken.
Sahara by the park is located on the main road of Burwood which people can easily walk past because there is too much competition. Next time don't give Sahara a pass, the Mixed plate is perfect for two and the flavours are great. I loved this place and I still think about it.
Sahara is one of my favourites casual restaurants. There is a casual, takeaway side and a restaurant side. We always get a pide and a chargrill plate. Serving size is very generous and we never finish it between the two of us. The chicken from the chargrill plate is deliciously moist. The chicken and mushroom pide is also very cheesy and satisfying. Very reasonably priced and good value for money.
Really enjoyed my dinner! We ordered the garlic chicken, chicken and mushroom pide, chicken sish and a bowl of chips. I loved the garlic chicken! It wasn't as garlicky as I expected (it had a sort of curry undertone) but it was delicious. They probably could have added a bit more sauce on the plate. The chicken was tender and cooked perfectly. It was also a very generous serving as was the pide! The pide was massive! My friend ordered it for herself but ended up sharing and still only finishing about half. It was good but was quite cheesy. The chips were also delicious. They were seasoned well and crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. The service here was also good. We were even asked if we'd like the aircon on or off.
The grill was very tasty - both the chicken and the lamb were beautiful in taste and texture. The dips were pretty good too. The backlava and the Turkish delight were quite sweet but a good way to end the meal.
Its A good place i like the mix grill... The babaganosh dip was amazing and not to forget the turkish apple tea is a must... I would recommend

Best Restaurant in Burwood by far, lovely staff and lovely food! I have been here with friends and family and there never a complaint. Reasonable prices too!
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Upon entry into the establishment, we were met with a very quiet and comfortable environment. Suddenly, we were out of the hustle and bustle of the loud and boisterous streets of Burwood. The walls are adorned with traditional quilts and artworks, and the setting is arranged well, giving patrons room to move. The quilts and artworks within really accentuated the visual experience, making the food feel more authentic.
We ordered the Chargrill Platter ($29.50) and Hot Beer Battered Chips ($6.50), between two people.
The Chargrill Platter consisted of:
1 x Adana Skewer
1 x Chicken Skewer
1 x Lamb Skewer
Sides of Aioli Dip, Bread, Raw Onion, Pickled Cabbage and Tomato Salad
The Adana Skewer is a minced meat skewer which was pleasant, but I found the texture a bit to dry for my liking.
The Chicken Skewer was well-cooked, very filling and probably one of the highlights.
The Lamb Skewer was another highlight, it was tender and juicy.
Even though minimal bread is provided, we wrapped some of the salad, meat and dip together in a roll to create a extremely tasty wrap. Personally, this was my favourite way to tackle the platter, as each aspect was able to compliment each other and accentuate the flavour.
I think overall, Sahara by the Park Burwood is a great place to eat when the Middle-Eastern cravings hit. It isn’t too expensive per person, and provides a very calm and relaxing atmosphere, you almost feel like you’re no longer in Burwood. However, I do feel like they could provide more bread, and possibly Tabouli as well. Tabouli is advertised in the photo on their website, but we did not receive any.
The food was AMAZING! Some of the best I have ever eaten and definitely the best middle eastern food I've had. I shared the Iskender and the chargrill with a friend for lunch and every peice was so so so delicious! I can't wait to go back!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I have only been to the restaurant part and not the takeaway side. I don't usually like these kind of food and tend to be sensitive with spices. But!! This one is actually good. Really you should try the chicken when you are near by.
(Takeaway side, not restaurant)
Sahara, and their gym packs....GOLD.
Huge feed, I usually have leftovers. Good, clean, healthy meal, $14 for Chicken, broccoli, brown rice & sauce, or customise whatever combo you want!
Always go for lunch!
What we had: mixed grilled plate.
Feedback: good mix of lamb，chicken and beef. Extremely generous portions! However there is a 15 mim wait time.
Those chips I havent had them in somewhere else. Very unique. Love that taste. Environment very modern. Grilled beef cooked nicely. well done. we will come again
Best grill I have ever tasted. Nice environment, nice serving. The Mayo spice with garlic is the best. Although the sparking wine is at the average, I am pleased of the overall
Was struggling to decide on a dinner place when we stumbled upon this place and what a find.
My friend and I shared the mixed dips platter and chargrilled platter. We chose babaganoush, hummus and chilli dips. The chilli was definitely my favourite. In the chargrilled platter you get a lamb mince kebab, a chicken one and a beef one. All very nice with the chargrilled flavour but the chicken was really tender and my favourite.
The dips were awesome!! Really tasty. The range of meats offered were juicy and tender! Would definitively recommend the banquet number 2 for min 2 people. Service was quite good as well.
On a whim, I checked out Sahara by the Park in Burwood and was pleasantly surprised. It's got a zomato rating of 3.6 and based on my experience the rating is harsh, I would give it a 4/5 because I had a great experience. . I was seated upstairs which had a laid back atmosphere with music and paintings and little trinkets on the wall.
We had the chicken sheesh and the chicken roll. Must say the chicken was delightful. Probably the best tasting chicken roll I have ever had. The meat was tender and just fantastic. Will def go back to this one :)
I love to go here for chilly prawn (in pot), the best ever so far. It is served with a few pieces of bread but I always need to order more to finish whole pot. Havent tried kebab but my fren said it was good.
Last Friday night I dined with D* and TestHero at Sahara in Burwood. There are two sections to the restaurant. In the first entrance there is a small walkway where people can purchase takeaway. The second entrance is the restaurant section where there are
Staff were more than accomadationg in finding us a table even though we hadn't made a booking on a busy Friday night. Food is decently priced and the servings were huge...very tasty and I would only recommend an entree to share between 2-4 ppl as the dips are also very generous. The noise from the street is sometimes a little loud depending on where you sit. Staff were friendly and very pleasant.
Delicious!. Loved the atmosphere of this restaurant - sumptuous and lively. The food is mouth-watering and when our dishes arrived we weren't disappointed. We had a platter of grilled meats and dips (can't remember the name of the dish) but it's the mixed platter and if you aren't sure what to get, this is a great start! Everything was succulent and tasty - can't wait to go back...mmmm....yum! Reasonably priced, great service too.
Food wasn't amazing but wasn't terrible either. Id recommend the dips platter (the bread is warm and really good) and the chicken shish which is very very tender and juicy. Other meats can bye a bit dry and tough
Love their chilli prawn with bread. Always have this with other skewers. No regrets!
Yes to the Pepperoni Pide. I absolutely love the range of dips! My favourite thing here have to be their Pepperoni Pide and incredibly well-seasoned chips, they're fantastic.
As for their meats, I don't fancy their lamb or pork too much - both times I've had it, they were dry and over cooked. The winner (winner chicken dinner hehe) is their chicken!
BEST TURKISH LUNCH EVER. This place is amazing!!! The food is the most delicious and tasty I have ever eaten. The service is efficient and friendly. The decor is beautiful and it has a really nice atmosphere. The meat was absolutely delicious and just amazing. I can't describe how good the food was, YOU HAVE TO GO HERE!
Wonderful food- had the banquet & was very impressed!
A great dining experience. Amazing service by the friendly staff. Prices are great considering the portion sizes we were given. We ordered the falafel ($16.50) and the Sahara Platter For 2 ($64.50).
Food arrived piping hot and fresh but the actual grilled portion of the Platter arrived a little late, though its mid-dinner service, so it's expected. Amazing friendly staff were happy to accommodate and reheat/toast the bread and topped-up some of the condiments.
All were flavoursome, colourful and well presented. We left very well fed and are happy to return sometime in the near future.
We did book for a table an hour before rocking up, quite lucky a table for 3 was available. Otherwise, do plan ahead with those bookings.
Highly recommended.
We've been there two times. We attended a friend's get-together as well as a work lunch. We found the food and the service were excellent. A decent menu with a lot of variety and reasonable prices. The restaurant has a nice ambiance too.
Booked ahead for an inside table of 6 on a Saturday night. The food came quickly considering how busy is the restaurant was. 2 of our party had the plate for 2 with skewers, dips, bread and salads. They said it was excellent. The prawn Pide I had was large, but so tasty I ate it all. The manger and waiters were attentive and friendly and didn't try to rush us out even though there was a line of people waiting to get it. Good venue for a special occasion with friends.
Very yummy Turkish food and large portions ! Would definitely come back with more people so that we can try more dishes 😋
Sahara - the most tasty barbecue lamb in burwood! Triple plate must try!
First time I ate it today. Service Ok. Food....This. Is..the true Holy Halal Snack Pack...Metro One was my current favourite. This is another dimension. Guys, well done. It is creamy peferction, and the price is perfect.
