The Sahara NN

You're walking down Derngate towards the town centre when you catch the smell—proper spices, charred meat, something simmering that makes your stomach growl. The Sahara isn't trying to be fancy. It's a neighbourhood spot where the kitchen knows what it's doing and the regulars keep coming back because the food is genuine and the prices don't make you wince. Word's clearly got out: 4.9 stars doesn't happen by accident in Northampton. You'll find yourself tucking into dishes that taste like they've been passed down rather than designed by committee.
