Sahara Bar & Restaurant

For more than a decade, Sahara Bar and Restaurant has been treating visitors to a relaxing ambience set against the charming backdrop of the Singapore River. Set up by former S. League soccer legend Esad Sejdic, this Boat Quay hotspot not only offers delicious Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine, but is also well-known for its special selection of authentic Balkan favourites such as ćevapčići and börek. In keeping with the passion of a sports star, Sahara regularly plays live soccer matches and other exciting games on the bar’s many TV screens. So swing by for a mouthwatering chargrilled kebab and an ice-cold beer and catch your favourite sports on TV!

How’s this for a great story: football legend Esad Sejdic (who played for Serbia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and is famed for scoring the first hat trick for the Singapore league) is the founder of the original Sahara Bar & Restaurant at Clarke Quay. Over a decade later, the venture has since moved to Boat Quay to offer a relaxed Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant experience along the Singapore River. As a tribute to Sejdic’s heritage, there are also many Balkan specialties on the menu – and a shot of rakija comes highly recommended to wash down dishes like cevvapcici and burek. Visit Sahara Bar & Restaurant in Boat Quay and we promise you and your friends will be remembering the warm hospitality and delicious eats for a long time to come.
