Sahara is one of those spots in the Dyckman/Inwood area that is in the cut that you might not catch right away but will have to venture along the strip by the 1 train. It's close to other lounges in the area that are more or less the same in music, dining and drinks. The service here was very good and inviting. Music was at a decent level where it was lively and of course primarily Latin. Loud but not too loud that you can't hear the person that you're there with speaking to you. Drinks were on point as I had a frozen margarita on here and I believe a whiskey and coke. Both were strong just how I like it. Didn't get to try their food as their kitchen was closed when we got there but I doubt very much it will be the last time I attend here, so more than likely will give an updated review upon returning.

WORST PLACE EVER!!!…read more This place is extremely sexists and completely antiquated. They have some ridiculous rules that say only a man and a woman can dance together. I was dancing with my mother and I was told that I could not do that because two women can't dance together. I was told that if I were to dance with my mother again we would be kicked out of the place. I was there for my mothers birthday and they completely ruined it by being disrespectful and out of line. There is no place where they have these so called rules displayed. This is a public place where there is an entrance fee, people should be allowed to dance with whoever they please. If you are looking for a place to dance and have a good time THIS IS NOT IT!

Soo as I was doing a munchie dinner find. I decided on sushi and boy oh boy! Was I in for a nice…read moresurprise. I ordered 1 chicken teriyaki roll, 1 Tierra y mar roll and last but not least a crazy roll. Let's start with the Chicken teriyaki which, whoa! It's like a chicken tempura teriyaki! Sooo yummy and such a nice crunch to the chicken and very well seasoned. The roll also had avocado, cucumber and topped with sesame seeds. On to the Tierra y Mar Roll which had a perfectly medium well steak, shrimp tempura, smoked salmon, avocado and sweet plantain. This was like the perfect bite in one. Everything was cooked perfectly and paired together so nicely. And it was a pretty good amount of each protein in the roll. The sweet plantain was a nice contrast to add between the savory meat and seafood. The Crazy Roll had salmon tempura, cucumber, sweet plantain and avocado. This one was interesting because the salmon was good but I was a bit over the sweet plantain by this point because it pretty much took over the simplicity of the salmon. Afterthought: All throughout the rolls the cucumber had such a nice crunch to it and the avocado was soft and ripe. Each container had a nice glaze over the rolls and a bit in the bottom of the container. The chicken teriyaki was honestly was my favorite one out of the three. Mainly because it was crispy chicken. Which added a nice twist to a traditional chicken teriyaki. All three are served with a delicious seaweed salad, fresh SPICY ginger because, babyy this ginger was HOT and a side of soy sauce. Will try and dine in soon

We were taken care of by Vanessa, who was friendly and gave great recommendations. The sangria and mojitos were on point, and the apps were delicious, especially the lobster sushi roll and the croquettes. Vanessa also accommodating a bday sing for my friend with my order of dessert. They played a special song and brought out an cute artificial cake with a flare candle (made for a fun photo op moment). Crowd was mixed, and later a DJ showed up playing some mixed tracks. Just a heads up: if you sit near the DJ booth, it can get pretty loud. There is a bar area plus several tables to choose from. Indoor and outdoor seating available. It is off Broadway under the 1 train, and they offer valet parking (not sure how much though). Overall nice experience. Would definitely go back, recommend!
