• 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.

• Vegan • Angel
Booked 28 times today
Jam Delish is an independent family-owned Caribbean vegan restaurant and cocktail bar in Angel, Islington. Founded in 2020 by siblings Jordan and Chyna, their idea was one that came purely from their desire to bring their grandparents authentic, traditional Caribbean recipes from their family home to the London food scene, with a fresh and modern take, inspired by their own upbringing in a vegan household. Fusing their love for plant-based food with their Caribbean roots, they identified a niche gap in the market for authentic, Modern Caribbean Vegan Cuisine. With five-star reviews across the board from both customers and food critics alike, the siblings have now opened their first ever flagship restaurant and cocktail bar in the heart of Angel, Islington.

    This was our first visit but now will be our go to restaurant for delicious Indian food. We chose it as we were meeting friends who were traveling through Kings Cross. I didn’t mention when booking that I am disabled and they had placed us downstairs which is difficult for me but a table on the entrance floor quickly became available and we were sat there and they found a place to park my walker. The waiter quickly gave us menus and served us drinks. Lovely choices on the menu and we ordered an assortment of dishes to share. All of the food was excellent. Good size portions too. The waiters were attentive and friendly and quite entertaining. It’s a busy place . Some just pop in for a quick snack and others for full meals like us. I would highly recommend this restaurant..
