• 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.

    Absolutely incredible Sunday Roast. The gravy, the Yorkshire pudding, meats (I chose the combo lamb plus pork), vegetables and side sauce all working in harmony to drive those true flavours home. Pork with great crunchy crackle, and the beef fat potatoes were stand outs for me, as well as getting the additional bone marrow which really melted in my mouth. But my true hero could've been the duck Scotch egg to start. Accompanied with a delicious Hoisin sauce, the outer crunch, duck casing and slightly runny yolk hit the spot. I could just have a plate of those. The Lore of the Land truly nails it. I assumed being a hyped Guy Ritchie pub it could be underwhelming with small portions, but the plate was absolutely loaded and everything delicious. Finishing with the classic sticky toffee pudding, it was pleasantly much lighter and airy than expected, with a really burnt butter Caramel sauce to enhance all those classic sticky toffee spices. Lovely wait staff and very pleasant atmosphere.

    The food, the wine, the service, the ambience and the attention to details; all is just perfect! Sample the delicious tastes of the mix of the entree, continue with an exquisite pasta and round of with a mouthwatering dessert. The quality of the Bocconcino kitchen is evident throughout! I will be back and I know I will not be disappointed. If you want the best Italian cuisine available don't go to anywhere else, go to this place instead! Be sure to make a reservation though, it is always fully booked!

    I have been here over 10/15 times in the last 10 years, one of the best Asian restaurants in London. However this time there were some negative notes. First of all, the A/C in the dining room downstairs, it was quite cold (most people were covering up during dinner). Second, I would always order the fried chili squid, however this time we found them a bit chewy as they were cut larger than usual. All other dishes and service was excellent. Overall, a bit disappointed but still had nice evening
