Price: Moderate
• Indian • Raynes Park
Sai serves authentic Punjabi cuisine with tandoor cooking a speciality. The spice range is broad, from minimal to high levels and vegetables forming the backbone of the menu. Wheat is the staple food of Punjabis; however, they do enjoy eating rice at festivals and other special occasions. When it comes to food, each region within Punjab has an entirely different preference, for example, people in Amritsar are particularly fond of stuffed parathas and milk products. The philosophy of life for many Punjabis is to eat, drink and make merry. They are lively people who are extremely fond of eating good food. In the preparation of Punjabi food, onion, ginger and garlic are used extensively to enhance the taste of the food.**NEW***SUNDAY BRUNCH 11am to 3pm, try Indian street food from different part of India with unlimited KADAK CHAI.****LUNCH****Now open for lunch Tuesday-Saturday 12-3pm.

    One of the pricier joints in the city, but unlike some places - here you paid for quality. The service was friendly, relaxed and helpful - something you *sometimes* don't get in higher end restaurants . The food was delicious, we all had pasta, and the waiters are willing to alter recipe's depending on what you like- for example a member of our party didn't like chilli's, so the waiter simply offered to make it without. The craft Italian cocktails was a newly uncovered gem, unexpected to find in Mayfair, and the atmosphere inside was delightful.

    We went to London on the 8 of February to celebrate a year of undergoing a major operation for cancer. The waiter did not know this. We had an amazing pizza. He served us a delicious red wine in a glass. He gave us a little Tiramisu on the house, brought us napkins, and made our day ! We don’t know your name, but thank you ! We had one of the most memorable lunches ever.

    We have a wonderful night for my wife's birthday, everything from the greeting at ground level through to the service in the restaurant and the quality of food. My only comment was the first table we were sat at it felt like being sat in your living room at home rather than a restaurant. We were sat on a two person couch that was very low my knees were round my ears and the table was to far away to sit and eat comfortably and for a gentleman of my age i would have ended up with ingestion! The restaurant moved us with no hesitation and we ended up on a beautiful table with proper chairs but again the tables in from of us were also very low and i noticed another gentleman taller than me also struggle.
