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.

Excellent food. Don’t fill up too much on bread as if you have the cod wing starter it’s very generous and you may regret it. We followed with a sublime steak with crispy pink fir potatoes and yummy marmite hollandaise. Powered though despite being full and loved every mouthful!

Nice decor and ambiance (and spotless loo). The lady we had serving was very nice and efficient. The food was all good. We stuck with classic carpaccio followed by pizza, a seafood pasta and ice cream. So simple choices but all very well presented and delicious. More adventurous items are available of course.
