Nous étions 4. Sur recommandation de Melissa, nous avons partagé 2 entrées succulentes. Ensuite, nous avons partagé un excellent poulet au beurre & un excellent cari d'agneau. Excellent rapport qualité- prix, ambiance moderne & confortable. Je recommande & y retournerai !

Sahib has some really good food, & the gulab jamun was absolutely delicious-definitely the highlight of the meal! However, the atmosphere felt very cafeteria-forward, which didn't quite match the quality of the food. The music was slow & kind of dreary-a more upbeat vibe could really improve the dining experience. Still, the flavours are worth it, & I'd come back for the food alone. Just wish the ambiance matched the quality on the plate!
These guys are still going strong in 2024! They have the best lamb korma you can get on the island. Bonus points for gluten-free choices! My coeliac wife had no reaction whatsoever, so this is our go-to place. The staff is super nice & careful. A 5 star place for sure There's no dedicated fryer, so some options are out for coeliacs, although if you're just gluten intolerant, you might give a try to papadum
We came last minute to the all you can eat lunch buffet & they were so kind & friendly & served us fresh curry & naan bread when there was none left at the buffet. Amazing service & the butter chicken was do die for!!! Highly recommended this restaurant.
We did a takeout for chicken tikka masala. The food was great. However, we got overcharged for it. We didn't realize until we got back to our hotel. They gave us the receipt & their menu. It clearly showed that we got overcharged by $4. It is not the end of the world, but it is a warning to others to check the receipt & verify the price before you leave. 2 stars for dishonesty. Edit: Someone called me & explained what happened. Unlike what the response said, the other tikka is not on their flyer menu. It is, however, on their website. That explains the confusion as the flyer only has the regular tikka.
I'm so disappointed with Sahib. Over the years I have been a truly loyal customer but the food quality has really gone down. I ordered the eggplant bharta tonight & it was extremely oversalted, lacking flavour. As well, I ordered the chicken madras but i'm quite certain the restaurant provided chicken korma because usually in the past the sauce is more red. There was a total of about 5-6 chicken pieces in watery sauce. In the past, the portions were packed with flavour with so much more chicken included. I loved Sahib but i'm truly disappointed. I hope they can make a change for the future!
We went there for a quick late lunch. Ordered lamb biriyani, chicken vindaloo, naan & gulab jamun. The biriyani was very good in both taste & presentation wise. I would have liked the chicken vindaloo to be more spicy as traditionally this is a spicy dish. It tasted more tangy rather than spicy. The nan was ok but small compared to naans at any other restaurant. The papadums were cold & didn't meet the expectations at all. The highlight was the gulab jamuns. They were hot, soft & fluffy. They were the best gulab jamuns I had recently. The service was excellent. Definitely recommended if you are craving for some delicious desi food.
Went to lunch with my mother, had a wonderful time! The food was delicious as always & the service was spectacular. One of my favourite restaurants! :D
The food was delicious, the dessert Rasmalai was the best I've had. The service from Hashim & Garry was excellent. This is my 7th visit to this restaurant, & I've never been disappointed.
