Sahara Lounge Restaurant and Grill

An Indian and peri-peri grill on Brunswick Road close to the city centre, Sahara Lounge combines the two most popular South Asian and Portuguese-influenced styles into a single menu. The kitchen runs to chicken tikka burgers, whole flame-grilled chicken with sides, classic curries and biryanis, and a range of steaks — a breadth that makes it a useful choice for mixed groups. Facebook reviewers award it 4.7 out of 5 and a 94% recommendation rate, with customers consistently praising the value for money and a peaceful atmosphere suited to families. The restaurant operates on a bring-your-own-alcohol basis. The grill section draws particular praise, with whole marinated chicken cited as a signature order. Gloucester city centre is a two-minute walk away, with the cathedral quarter and the historic Roman street grid just beyond.
