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.

We ate here on a busy Thursday night, yet the service and quality of food were excellent. The crab maison was delicious as was the beef cheek bourguignon. My wife’s mushroom cassoulet was a revelation - she really thought that the spicy glazed fable mushrooms were sausages. Our amazing server Evelyn explained all about them - she really knew the menu and she was attentive to everything we needed. An excellent evening.
