About
Sahar Restaurant
Welcome to Sahar Restaurant, a hidden gem located on Al Falah St, right behind Wear Mart in the heart of Al Markaziyah, Abu Dhabi. As soon as you step inside, you're transported to the vibrant streets of Pakistan, echoing with delicious aromas that promise an unforgettable culinary journey.
Customers rave about the authentic offerings, which truly reflect the rich heritage of Pakistani cuisine. One delighted diner, Hirah Khan, elegantly captures the essence of Sahar’s kitchen: "The food is so good it will satisfy your needs and makes you feel like you are in Pakistan." This sentiment resonates deeply with many who have tasted the thoughtfully crafted dishes here.
Among the highlights, the Nihari shines as a must-try dish—tender and juicy meat simmered in a blend of spices that dance on your palate. The biryanis and salan are equally impressive, packed with flavor and masala that showcases the chef's expertise. If you prefer breakfast, look no further than the Halwa Puri, celebrated by patrons for its perfect crispness and rich, aromatic halwa that melts in your mouth. The accompanying chana curry is the ideal complement, adding a wonderful depth of flavor to the meal.
Notably, Sahar Restaurant balances quality and affordability, making it accessible for everyone. Dave Thom couldn't help but express his satisfaction, sharing, "The food was yumm!!! Reasonable price." Portions are generous, and many diners recommend sharing dishes for an even more enjoyable experience—particularly the mix grill platter, which is truly a feast for the senses.
The ambience is another feather in Sahar Restaurant's cap. While it offers a cozy atmosphere suitable for families, it also caters to bachelor customers with dedicated seating upstairs. Despite some mentions of quantity, most agree that the overall dining experience is enhanced by the restaurant's cleanliness and quick service—a big plus in today’s fast-paced world.
With ample parking nearby, visiting Sahar Restaurant is not just a meal; it's an experience that leaves you longing for your next visit. If you’re in Abu Dhabi and craving authentic Pakistani fare, make sure to indulge in the offerings of Sahar Restaurant. You won’t be disappointed!

“ today morning visited sahr resturent and I must say their halwa puri breakfast was absolutely exceptional! The puri were hot, crispy, and perfectly puffed, just how they should be. The halwa was rich, aromatic, and melted in the mouth—sweet but not overpowering. The chana (chickpea curry) and acaahri on the side just wow, well-spiced, and complemented the meal beautifully. Service was quick, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. A perfect start to the day! Highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic, delicious halwa puri. Will definitely be coming back again! Thanku sahar Resturent ”
