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.

Food was great! Every tapas, ( pastel bacalhau/ alheira pastel) main dish ( pork, picanha, bacalhau à Brás) was beautifully cooked. Very authentic and the desserts were simple but that’s what really we were looking for. Pastel de nata as usual never disappoints especially with the canela ice cream. I am Portuguese therefore I am able to judge authentic food and I was happily surprised with quality. Service was kind and attentive. Highly recommend

Lovely small restaurant with an excellent menu. Staff are really knowledgeable & obliging. There was a wide choice of starters & then the 3 of us chose different pizzas from a very wide selection. Delicious & definitely a speciality here! Looking forward to coming back when in this location again. Excellent choice if visiting a local theatre as it’s just one minute away!

Lovely Saturday lunch with friends. Food was incredibly good. I had a pizza which was lovely and fluffy. Good choice of wines. A moment of calm within the business of nearby Borough market. We were incredibly well looked after and would recommend.
