• 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.

This is the second time I've been to Douro, previously for lunch, last night for dinner. Both times the food has been excellent and very reasonably priced. I was particularly impressed by the service both on the night, where it was attentive without being overbearing, and in advance when my booking number oscillated between 7 and 10 and the Douro team were quick to confirm that the changing numbers weren't a problem. I'll definitely be back as will the friends I came with last night.

Came for an Xmas do, food was fabulous and great quality, attentive service and good atmosphere. My only suggestion is to remove the low hanging lights, 3 of our party hit their heads on them getting up from the table. Would definitely come back.
