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.

Great offer for the 2 for 1 steaks, perfectly cooked. Friendly and attentive staff too. Only feedback would be to not have the tables outside so close together!

Excellent little Tapas bar, set in the busy Tooting market. Situated on a corner, so the dining bar is on the outer edge of the two sides. Seating is on both sides of the bar, so it is easy to sit opposite one's partner, or as a group. The market is extremely busy and buzzy, so noise level is quite high. A good selection of plates, and wines. On Tuesday there are three plates for £20, which is ample per person. I would advise booking for most days of the week.
