We dropped in to Sahara mid-afternoon as we were passing and fancied a quick snack. The kitchen was closing, but they reopened it just for us and we had a pleasant wait on the sunny terrace in the company of the two resident black cats.
We had ordered the soup of the day (broccoli and blue cheese) and the seafood chowder and a couple of flat whites.
The reason for the wait was clear; the food was freshly prepared and very well presented. The flavors were clean and beautifully balanced. The seafood was very fresh and perfectly cooked.
This was one of the best meals we have had since moving to NZ in December. We will certainly be returning for a more leisurely dinner and I am sure we won't be disappointed.
Highly recommended.
