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.

    Flawless serving from our waiter Alessio. The hostess was also very lovely and smiley and she accommodated us downstairs by the music just as we requested when we made the booking. Food and drinks were lovely and everything came so quickly it was almost instant. Made a booking for NYE with my family and already can’t wait to return!

    Absolutely fantastic and delightful meal! Lovely, attentive service. Every dish is beautifully presented and all we ate was delicious. The restaurant only seats eight, but does not feel cramped. One note, ask for prices on special dishes. Otherwise, the menu is well-priced for sushi. Can’t wait to visit on my next trip to London!!
