Sahara Lounge

Sahara Lounge on Stanmore Hill is a contemporary Lebanese restaurant and shisha lounge a short distance from Stanmore tube station — the northern terminus of the Jubilee line. The kitchen produces authentic Lebanese dishes — mezze spreads, chargrilled meats, kibbeh, hummus and flatbreads — with a shisha terrace attached for those who want to extend the evening beyond the table. Google users rate it 4.2 stars from over 100 reviews. Lunch service runs on weekdays alongside the full evening dinner menu, and the restaurant takes reservations for both. The Stanmore Hill location places it at the affluent, leafy end of the HA7 catchment — an area with limited Lebanese competition — which has helped Sahara Lounge establish itself as the go-to Middle Eastern dining option for north Stanmore.
