• 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.

    Visited for my friend's birthday. Had a bit of trouble finding the restaurant initially my phone was directing me to 330Strand which was in fact incorrect. On arrival however it was a lovely experience. The restaurant was extremely quite but our reservation was for 3pm so not surprising really. We chose the 3 course set lunch menu and we were also able to take advantage of the January sale which was excellent. My friend had calamari to start followed by bolognese and then tiramisu. I had bruschetta, and amazing chicken in cream sauce and gelato to finish. Dishes were beautifully presented and delicious. The set menu even included a complimentary drink and we chose Prosecco and an Aperol Spritz. My friend was delighted when presented with a happy birthday plate. Really lovely experience and will definitely return.

    It was perfect from start to finish. The food is flavourful, original yet classic and delicious. The restaurant is beautifully lighted, the noise is surprisingly low for such a wide space, and a special thank you to our waiter James who was lovely, gave us good advice and a special treat for my mum’s birthday. It’s a truly special place !

    Had a great time with our experience overall (always). We celebrated my friend's bday and it went well. The staff was really accommodating and was quick in terms of service. Me and my husband are regular customer in this pizza resto. Their pizza is always on the top our list. Kudos to all the staff specially to the manager who is always providing the best service.👌 We'll definitely come back soon!
