SAI Restaurant in Merton

Nice place, friendly staff. Food as expected but not earth shattering. Pleasant stop on our Sunday evening.

We have been to Sai twice in the last four weeks. On both occasions the service and food/drinks were excellent. The current starter special is Mango Pani Puri which is absolutely delicious. We hope it becomes a permanent additIon to the menu.

Excellent food and service. Just a bit noisy. Needs more soft furnishings

I went to one of the curry and comedy nights at Sai with some friends and had a great mid week night out with tasty food, good laughs, and some quality stand-up acts!

Celebrated a family Birthday at Sai last night, first time we have visited this local restaurant and can’t believe we’ve missed out all this time! Delicious and beautifully presented food and a fantastic menu, with unique features like thali’s on Saturdays and an inspired Indian street food menu for Sunday lunch - will be back to try that out asap! Really enjoyable, thanks so much!

The food was fantastic. There are extensive and delicious vegetarian options, and the service was excellent.

Great Indian restaurant the onion bajis are particularly good. Had the fish curry and my friend had a chicken jalfrezi. All great. The nans were a little thin and had some burnt bits but other than that an enjoyable meal would recommend.

Booked here last minute on a Saturday night and we were so pleasantly surprised at how good the whole evening was. The decor is tasteful, great ambience, service was very attentive and food was 10/10. Really good value for money - we will definitely be back!

Hands down the tastiest curries I’ve ever had. Incredible range of veggie options too!

Excellent food and service. Value for money. Great ambiance, however perhaps the tables were too close together making it very difficult for the waiters to serve the food.

Real authentic Punjabi food with a modern twist. Easily the best I've had. The atmosphere and ambiance are great with amazing decor. Try the butter chicken.

First time visit last night. We had a wonderful meal (butter chicken), full of flavours. Will go again.

Brilliant food and lovely service. We can't wait to go back again.

Always superb food and service Way better than other Asian restaurants The flavours are exceptional and what could be better than being looked after by the lovely Anjali 😄

Excellent, clean tasting food, friendly unpushy efficient service. Understanding of our need to delay booking slightly. An extremely enjoyable experience.

Anjali was an AMAZING host. Thank you, fab food and very welcoming. Lovely atmosphere

Unbelievably good flavous and great service. Top place

I ordered a delivery on Sunday and was taken aback at how flavourful the dishes were. I have been searching for a good Methi and I have to say this place has the best I have had. The Rogan Josh also is beyond expectations. Brilliant chef, thank you.

We had an excellent meal and delightful service. The food was extremely tasty without being overly spicy and hot. We were well looked after.

I only love round the corner but it was my first time. Really lovely place and the kids loved the food!’

We love the food at Sai, and it is perfectly complemented by the great atmosphere and excellent service. We’re already looking forward to our next meal here - our favourite local restaurant!

Great food. Lovely staff. Great service. Just what we wanted.

Really great food in Raynes Park, would definitely recommend over other local Indian restaurants.

Absolutely wonderful restaurant. The food was incredible (I had dhurandar chicken on the chef’s specials menu) and service was friendly, knowledgable and welcoming. Will 100% be recommending to family and friends. Thank you!

Absolutely the best Indian food ever, great value for money, very clean, staff very friendly and service impeccable. Would definitely come back here and if you haven't been, you need to its amazing.

Very good take away service - our whole family love the food, the one time we ate in the restaurant the service was exemplary.

A great place to go with friends and family. Friendly, efficient service and good price point

I came with my family and friends, and this was my second time here, the aura and the dishes are delicious, the service was so good. One must visit here. It is the best Indian restaurant, I've been so far!

I went to a lunch for the first time with my friends there, and I loved the presentation, plus the taste of every dishes, I got. Next time I went for a dinner with my family and few of my friends, the service is up to the point, and I liked the most is the chef's special ie. Parsi gosht, too good!! And the laal mass is my favorite too! I think it's a good value for money and best Indian food I've ever tasted in London!

This restaurant is best restaurant i have visited in london. They serve the most authentic food with great indian touch. The panner tikka masala and chilli panner are the best. The service is also the best i have seen in london.

The indian restaurant serving finest food i have tried in london till date in london with authentic indian taste. I had visited with my husband yesterday. The place is so nice, with extraordinary service and the best dish were the panner tilka masala and chilli panner with great taste.

Really beautiful dishes and the lamb was to die for; simply delicious. I am super fussy and even very high end restaurants I often find disappointing so this was a great find.

Sorry to Say this but today i feel my worst experience i just finished my dinner with my friends at restaurant. Food is not up to mark. I order paneer tikka masala and vegetables are not even cook properly. And chilli paneer is quit good but most important is just one gujrati girl is good waiter and other staff not too much friendly😲😲 Thank you

Delicious food. Helpful staff. A lovely evening.

Great food well presented with excellent service. Really cant fault it!

food was good probably just to spicy for my test but was well cooked . if you go a Saturday night I suggest to book .

Overall: ★★★★☆ A pleasant local Indian restaurant serving Punjabi inspired food alongside some well known curry house names such as a masala. They could easily get away with halving the menu and still be busy if not busier because everyone knows with so many items it’s not possible to be all made fresh daily. Service was good and Food: Indian (Punjabi) What I liked: • Friendly, attentive service • Nicely presented food • Balanced flavours • Reasonable price point • The hot towels at the end are a nice touch • Overall good attention to detail What I didn’t like: • Thought the prawns were a bit tough • Naan was not that great. Too thick and doughy on one side and lacked flavour • Menus shouldn’t be on a dark background as hard to read in the evening and low light • Large menu which doesn’t inspire confidence in everything being super freshly made Do I recommend going? YES Will I go again? YES Was it good value? YES Price Point: $$

I really love Sai and have been here a lot with friends. The mains are wonderful, delicious and fresh and the place is lovely. Really nice staff. Small things that stop it being perfect. There seem to be only vegetable mains (i.e. no side dishes) which means you inevitably choose one to share which is a shame as it limits the variety. The ice cream isn't very nice (funny texture and a bit artificial). I appreciate that this is not and Indian dish but since it is on the menu it would be nice if it was a better quality. Same with the coffee. Minor things.

Our 2nd time dining at Sai, a local gem. The food we've had both times was just lovely. A little on the spicier side than expected, but so full of flavour. Staff are lovely, great range of drinks, we'll be back again soon :)

The restaurant looked really nice service was excellent the food was lovely and we will be going back again would I recommend it yes I would but I'll let people know it could be a bit pricey but if you're going for a special occasion it's very good staff very friendly Overall really good experience

Suprinsingly good tasting curry for a trendy looking spot, normally those two don't gel but sai has got it right. I'll be back.

Good food and good service. The music could be turned down a bit though. Or maybe stop having music. It is a small place and with the music and people chatting, it gets too loud.

Don’t order takeaway from this restaurant! Placed an order at 7pm and it still hadn’t arrived by 9pm! Very difficult to get hold of the restaurant by phone and was difficult to get a refund. Bizarrely the delivery driver turned up at 10.30pm with the order - 3 hours 30 minutes after ordering!

Food is not too spicy or oily. The service is good and in winter the restaurant is nice and warm. Service is also attentive. I have no complaints.

Delicious food! Kartik was such a fab waiter, he managed to get us a table last minute when it was very busy on a Friday evening. Highly recommend!

Food is absolutely fantastic, would surely come again and bring my friends as well. Definitely a one stop to have real taste of India.Kudos to chef and the staff 👍🏻

Lovely fresh ingredients bursting with flavour. My favourite Pumjabi restaurant in London.

This place was reccomend to me but overall I was disappointed with the experience. The atmosphere, decor, and service were good but unfortunately the food really didn't match the price. While the rice and garlic naan were both tasty with good flavouring, the same cannot be said for the mains. I got the Gosht Jalfrezi and my partner the Aloo Baingan; both were really bland. Lots of spice and not much flavour, the sauce was very watery and/or oily, which wasn't very pleasant to eat. The onions also tasted a little undercooked. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this place.

Love this place. It is 5 stars for its range. Must try the daily specials. The street food starter was a nice surprise to put the liquid in the ball and put it whole in the mouth

The food is ok , but stay away from the peshwari naan it's overpriced at £4.50 and they are small with not much flavour just get the regular naan and call it a day

Used to come here frequently when I lived in Raynes park! Would visit with my family. Great place, great food, great service and Vin was always welcoming! Miss the place!

Excellent restaurant. We are visiting from USA and found the food wonderful. The chef is also the owner and takes great pride in their food. Came here the next day too. Best chili paneer ever, and also great pani puri.

Yeah, nice food but only one attentive friendly waiter. The other 2 were moody, ignoring us, leaving us waiting, had to be called over multiple times and instructions reiterated and we never have any fuss eating out. And then finally one had the audacity to hit on my girlfriend in Spanish thinking I didn't understand, while the other repeatedly asked if it was me who was paying for the the meal because he saw out intention to split it. Very awkward and unhelpful ending to what would have otherwise been a nice meal experience. Won't be going back

Absolute gem of a place in Worple Road. Great atmosphere, excellent food and good service. Ben the owner is lovely and passionate about making great food and delivering quality. This is going to be our new regular hang out. Highly recommended to all. Thank you to Vin and his team.

Scrumptious food, authentic Punjabi cuisine, great ambience, excellent service

Authentic food cooked perfectly, a great atmosphere with attentive service and reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit.

We love this restaurant! Since moving to Raynes park a few months ago this is a firm favourite. Great for take out and eating in. Food is really good, on the spicy side and so full of flavour. Waiting staff are really friendly and welcoming. Reasonably priced too, you can have a lovely meal out here!

The flavour of the food was fantastic. Everyone at the table loved their dish. Excellent choice for vegetarians and meat-eaters.

Best Indian in Raynes Park area! Great food. Pints of Indian lager at a good price.

Excellent food Brilliant services

Just had my 50th Celebration at Sai with all my family and friends, everyone had a fantastic time... the food was beyond amazing, Vin helped with the design of the menu and the service was excellent too, can't fault it. highly recommend.

We have just eaten a very delicious meal at Sai. Each course was fresh and tasty. The waiting staff were attentive and enthusiastic about the dishes. I would recommend a visit here.

Great food and dining experience

Leng waiter, got food under 5 minutes from ordering. Overall great experience, I would come back again.

The service was fantastic got our food incredibly fast our waiter lewis was fantastic and kept coming back to offer us refills

Our leng waiter (Lewis) was excellent - food came in great time and there were no problems

I usually come here to satisfy my Indian food cravings. My personal favourite is Murgh Saagwala with Garlic Naan. They never disappoint me in terms of taste, quality and service. Very friendly staff. They do their best to provide high standard service to all customers. Happy to come here over and over again. 🙌🏽

Good food. However was extremely unimpressed when the chai I ordered turned out to be a (disgusting) teabag and not an authentic chai.

Been here a few times and excellent all of them.

I needed a Tandoori mixed grill and Sai Restaurant Raynes Park did not disappointed. The meat was sizzling and hot, and the spice levels were just right . The Dhal Makhani was luscious and nicely flavoured. Good value for money.

I've dined here multiple times and rate the quality of food. The service on the other hand is below par in my opinion, with the latest exchange meaning I'll be going elsewhere for food. Sunday. Big sign 'Open Midday until 3pm'. One would pretty much guarantee that you could turn up at 2:30pm and expect to get served right? I did exactly that with my 2 dogs and sat outside as previously directed on a different visit. Waiter saunters out, hangs on the door and "We're closed". I pointed to the sign and was told "kitchen shuts at 2:30". Obviously didn't want me or my 2 well behaved dogs eating at their restaurant. Fine, won't be coming back.

Our goto place for Indian/Punjabi food. We order from here all the time and are definitely planning to visit this place at some point. Their tandoori chicken, dal makhni and sarson ka saag is some of the best. It's evident that the owner/chef bring the authentic taste from India to the food! Would highly recommend!

Food was absolutely delicious and service was brilliant. Will definitely be back - thank you!!

Ordered various lunch dishes to share but they were just about okay to someone like me who loves Indian food. I see this restaurant always quite packed at night so maybe my expectation was too high. Overall, fine :)

This place is now the best curry house in the area. Service was excellent. Food was better and the kids loved it too. To paraphrase, we will be back.

Really lovely restaurant serving superb tasty food with friendly staff however service was a bit slow.

We went last night, for the Comedy club evening, the food, staff and entertainment were fantastico. I would highly recommend Sai.

Not a fan and I don’t really understand why it is highly rated. After trying out multiple Punjabi restaurants and as an Indian myself, the Paneer Tikka Masala I ordered had an unusual taste. The sauce was watery and it lacked a creamy texture. Moreover, the paneer were in huge chunks and not cut up properly. The dish overall lacked proper texture and even the basic spices needed to make this dish amazing. I also find for the price you pay to eat at Sai, one should really ensure the dishes are authentic. The reason why I provide it two stars is because the chilli naan really saved the day in adding some sort of flavour and the rice was quite fresh. Won’t be ordering again.

Lovely food but it can be very spicy, let the waitress know you want the dish mild & that's how they will do it for you

I've updated my review since this has become one of my favorite restaurants to eat in. Beat curry in London, great vibe

Excellent food for a reasonable price. The spice level was perfect. Highly recommend this place. Just a bit noisy though

Excellent food. Service second to none. Diets catered for. Fantastic!

My favourite restaurant. Always such polite and attentive service, warm and relaxing ambience, and the food is always perfect.

Great Kenyan style lamb curry but disgusting butter chicken that had a strong rancid smell and flavourless butter sauce

Excellent place for Indian cuisine I loved the service and food. Def recommend!!

Nice place to eat and nice foods, although some of the items we ordered were incorrect, it was still okay.

Excellent food, good comedy night

Celebrated my birthday there with 10 guests. Everything was perfect. Thank you. We will be back.

So after using Sai for a number of years i have to say they've lost me as a customer tonight. After waiting for an hour and a half for my order and countless attempts to phone the restaurant. I have to cycle to them only to find my order sitting on the counter, cold and with no-one having a clue as to why it hasnt left. I'm met with "Well you mustnt have given us your address" when I clearly did to place the order. I also explicitly mentioned that I have an allergy to coriander only to find it in every dish! Complete disaster. They need to up their game with the service.

We have been customers of Sai for a number of years and it is great to see this family business gaining in well deserved popularity. The food and atmosphere is always excellent. Personal favourites are the Chicken Saag and Peshwari Naans.

Starters and wine was great. Also, brilliant customer service and quick food service. Unfortunately, the mains were bland. Also, no specifications on the menu as to which was spicy and which wasn't.

LOVE THEIR TAKEAWAY. quick and very good for gluten allergies!

First time to Sai and definitely won’t be the last! Have lived round the corner for the past year and regret not coming sooner. Amazing customer service, delicious food and even got to meet the chef, Venn. Can’t wait for the next visit. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food was very good, polite and helpful staff

Bunny Chow was the best. Pav bhaji, Tikki n Chole Bhature were okay. Was expecting authentic Chole Bhature but it wasn't. Tikki was cold n too soft. Overall taste was fine.

Brilliant food, Brilliant service, never disappoints 🤗

Super quick to answer the phone when we called to book, and very friendly. A no-rush atmosphere and dark interior, but open during warm evenings which is a lovely touch. Laal maas was beautifully cooked and all food delivered to our table in pots that retain heat. A great combination of flavours — some spice, aromatic herbs, etc. We received free poppadoms and dips to try prior to ordering, which were a lovely touch that we didn't expect. Staff were knowledgeable regarding the menu and able to advise on flavour preferences. All in all, we loved it and will absolutely be back.

We were a bit lost as to where to eat one night in the Wimbledon area, and the reviews led us here. Such a find. Absolutely delicious punjabi food, different from most curry houses in the UK. Flavoursome dishes and tender meat. Light and fluffy rice and roti. Great service. We will be back.

Really excellent meal and overall cooked to perfection. Prawn curry was amazing - will be back

Really excellent brunch. We loved all of our dishes and the service was just perfect.
