• 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.

Really good food and affordable prices. It was a special occasion, so I wish the staff were a bit more attentive and took care with our orders. Our waitress seemed a bit impatient as some of our party hadn’t quite decided what they wanted from the set menu. When we did order, one of our orders were forgotten, so we had to wait a bit so that we could eat together. Perhaps our waitress was having a bit of a hard day as it did get busy at the time of our visit. It’s a shame as we’d been to Bordelaise a few times before and always enjoyed it.
