• 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.

    We were in London for a few days before a cruise. The concierge at The Mayfair Hotel recommended this restaurant. We had such a wonderful meal the first time that we went back post-cruise. Beautiful restaurant 5 minute walk from the hotel. The service and food was outstanding! Beautiful table in the back room of the restaurant. The rocket salad was delicious, wine selections are terrific! The Branzino and the Fettuccini with red prawns were amazing! And don’t forget to order the Focaccia bread..adds just the right touch to meal! Add two perfectly prepared cappuccinos to end the meal and it’s a wrap! We loved this restaurant!

    The service and food were.both excellent. I'm glad we went.. This was my first time there. The outside area did not have any curb appeal and I wish we ate downstairs where the atmosphere was more lively.

    Very good food, service and ambience. Nice restaurant deco. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the Tiramisu was a bit dry and the portion was a bit big (couldn’t finish). Everything else was really good. Will definitely recommend, specially for pre-theatre dinner!
