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. Special express lunch menu and THALI on Saturdays. Please see our website for menus and details.

    Outstanding Italian restaurant in the heart of Soho. Three of us shared a starter of Calamari and Zucchini, with a huge bowl of green olives. We then had mains of the chicken risotto, pappardelle with beef and a Margherita pizza. The portions were way bigger than we were anticipating leaving no room for desserts. Every item we tried was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Service was exceptional. The final bill which included a glass of wine and two bottles of fizzy water came to £120 (including service). Highly recommended but just make sure you bring a big appetite!

    One of my favourite places to go, the food is superb, drinks are lovely, the staff are charming and the place is so cozy. Only downside is I don't have a small behind and the stools are quite little!

    A really excellent lunch (only served from 3pm ... at least on a Monday. The choice of food is modest but really interesting and tasty. Service was warm and swift. The lamb dish (Rogan Josh?) was succulent and delicious. Make sure to book.
