PROPRIETOR
Owner/proprietor Alexandre Pachkovski and his family have put in a lot of thought and effort into this restaurant. On a trip to Morocco, Alexandre and his two sons researched the cuisine and collected beautiful furniture for the restaurant, including exquisite marble tables purchased in Casablanca.

CUISINE
Morocco, a country well known for its culture friendly, society and there delicious exotic foods and spices.
Moroccan food is characterized by the rich spices, which include cinnamon, paprika, cumin.Couscous, granular semolina is central to Moroccan cuisine and is often cooked with spices, vegetables, nuts, and raisins and is a meal in itself or is topped with rich stews and roasted meats, lamb being the most popular meat. Many Moroccan dishes are filled with fruits and spices – a lamb shank is slow cooked in honey, cinnamon and saffron; the chicken tajine is flavoured with olive and preserved lemon. Finish with a traditional mint tea.

FUNCTIONS
Sahara is a great choice for private and corporate groups who want to have a fun night out and at the same time experience something different.
