Sarasas Restaurant in Hillingdon

I decided to try something new as we are new in the area. Wasn't pleasant at all. We ordered the meat plater£27. Kofta was raw and sent back. The fish and lamb chops was preciously cooked and reheated and the butter chicken was tomato puree with cream added. No flavour at all. The chicken had an unusual texture to it. Definitely frozen and reheated. I have been in the food industry for 30 years and currently running a very busy central London kitchen. I know what im talking about!

First time , just for a dinner over a long weekend , with wife.Booked on line .Arrived in time . Very noisy . Got small table for 2 , waiter came after nearly 15-20 mins following prompts.Another 20 mins for drinks to arrive . Food came , which is coming upto an hour. 8.30 pm Dosa were nothing like what we had seen or eaten . before Crispy , they said , and provided knife and fork , like eating papadam with knife abd fork. Had ordered DOSA with MASALA , but came plain , They replaced after a complaint. To finish off ordered Faludo . Didn't come , so just asked for Bill and left , at nearly 9.40 p.m What an experience.!!! Never again

Lunch with my Mother on Easy Sunday Cauliflower Manchurian with roti & Sheesh Kebabs with Naan Delightful and served to taste

Food is just tasteless . The same sauce is just mixed up with everything. Ordered fried chily idlis n mogo chily n the same sauce taste for both. Idli did not taste of idli. Prawn 65 priced at £14 had more red batter on the prawn than a prawn . The only good thing was the virgin mojito n the rasamillai which was definitely not homemade but bought from out. Not at all worth the money . Never again.

Friendly staffs and good food. Just read few reviews, quite unfortunate some had experience. Honestly we've been regular customers for last 2 years and service/ food and staffs were equally consistent and never had issues at all. Thanks :)

Went here for my wife’s birthday, booked a table for 9adults and 2 children. Given a private booth near the kitchen . For some reason it’s got double chairs, also getting in and out very difficult. Service was non existent . Got in at 6.45 and didn’t get drinks till 7.30 , drinks came separately two at a time , waited for one beer for ages. Ordered starters which in fairness were very tasty but for fried prawns. Then waited and waited for them to clear the plates and order for mains it’s now 8.25 Eventually got mains again it came one by one instead of all meals together. Again the mains was all good Didn’t get out it almost 10.00 cos the seriously slow service. My advice to anybody booking large party groups, don’t let them reserve your seats in booth cos you are out sight and forgotten.

Restaurant does not understand the meaning of mild in their dishes. Dishes which don't even have "spicy" identified are spicy Service was slow even when Restaurant was quiet Tables were all pushed in and left to customers to pull out Furniture is larger then the tables. Tables are not big enough to accommodate large plates Paan was worst paan I've had forever. So dry and packed up. Couldn't taste any syrup. Wrongfully put items that they didn't have available on our bill which we spotted and was rectified. No passion fruit in stock. For an Indian restaurant that is just appalling No kids menu

They need to sort out the ventilation and remove the cooking smell. The food is good but it's not worth your hair and clothes absolutely reeking of days and days of stale cooked food smell because of poor ventilation. It's gross and ruins the whole experience. I had to wash everything even my coat to get the smell out! And even then it still lingers. They need to boil some lemon daily and open the windows or something to neutralise the cooking smell, it is really revolting.🤢

Went here as a family in Jan 24. We had pre booked a table and rang ahead to say that we were going to be only 10 mins late because of traffic. The rude manager said that they would have to cancel our reservation and make us wait for the table - this is not on as restaurants should allow 15 mins grace for bookings. When we got there, the restaurant was busy and was a mess - empty drinks glasses piling up, dirty plates and cutlery left lying around, spilled food and paper napkins on the floor, waiting staff with no training running around like headless chickens. First starter came out 15 mins after ordering but had to wait an hour for the other starters and had to chase these several times. Therefore, we could not eat together. Waiter plonked down someone else’s dishes on our table whilst he was getting some other stuff, so felt it was fine for him to use our space ass storage area for other people’s meals and plates. Was charged extra for a soft drink that we did not order and no apology tor this. We did like the taste of the food, but sadly the whole experience was ruined because of the chaos and incompetent service.

Most restaurants these days are considerate of allergies, especially nut allergies. The norm in most being that a small number of dishes are offered with nuts but the majority aren't. Not this place. I would say two thirds of the menu is items made using nuts or nut based marinades etc. Now I'm not talking cross contamination or nut traces! As I have a mild nut allergy, I was pretty much rules out of most of the menu. Everything I asked about contains nuts. What is more annoying is that the items are not marked on the menu as containing nuts. Therefore, ending up ordering items off the menu that I may not have wanted. Luckily for me, the items I had were tasty so while I didn't get what I wanted, what I had was nice. Can't imagine myself visiting again due to all this and the lack of effort to consider allergies and mark it on the menus.

Great food and great service too. The food was cooked lovely will definitely be returning when I’m in the area again.

We enjoyed a very good meal in Sarasas last evening with 8 friends having been recommend by those who live locally and have been here often. We were seated in a private dining area & the service was very attentive and quick so I’m surpass today to read reviews that indicate the the contrary. The menu had lots of varied & different choices, especially the chicken dosa which is not often on a standard ‘Indian ’ restaurant menu and was very beautifully spiced. The cauliflower Gobi 65 was excellent . Loved the number of vegetarian choices. We had a very enjoyable evening and would go back.

Ordered takeaway only to discover there were items missing when it arrived. Called the restaurant and was told they had checked with the chef and he assured them all items were in the bag so there’s nothing they can do. This is the second time this has happened when ordering from here. Poor customer service. Will not be ordering again.

Ordered takeaway, mixed grill was raw, methi chicken had grit! Do not recommend food from this restaurant.

As a local, I have often thought about coming to this restaurant for a meal but hadn’t managed it until recently. Very disappointed. My husband asked for meat samosas, he got vegetable which he returned. My vegetable spring rolls were okay. Not crispy and flaky but okay. The main courses were warm but not hot. I was charged for three drinks when I had two. Not a great experience and I will not be going back.

Ordered two dishes online which was delivered late and was wrong order. They sent me someone else’s order so had a total wait of 2 hours for the delivery and the food was terrible and manager blamed the driver for taking wrong order which is definatly incorrect. The rava dosa was kept in fridge for next day to eat and was off. Use the Hayes shop. That one is brilliant. Never gonna order from here. Had to order as Hayes one is temp closed. Spoilt my whole Saturday evening.

If only I read the reviews before going here then wouldn'thave wasted my hard earned money. Went for morhers day dinner. We had reserved a table. As soon as walked in it was chaotic the waiters literally running like headless chickens and no one came to us for ages. The floor plan is crap with a big pillar in the middle of the restaurant with seating all the way round it so feels like other people are sitting on top of you and this is where we were seated. Soon as we sat down I kept getting hit on the head from the waiters trying to squeeze through behind me. I asked one if the waiters if they could move us and they asked the manager who ssid they could move us to the other side of the pillar. We said no as it was right next to the front door. I went up to the manager and asked for another table and she literally said take or leave it and walked off. Well I was furious what sort of manager is this so rude to the customer. I sat back down and moved my chair right back so the waiters couldn't walk behind me as didn't want to continuously be hit from behind. It was loud in the restaurant couldn't enjoy and the food is pricey and not worth wasting money on. Apart from the dosa being crispy the sides are absolutely tasteless. On the way out I told the manager exactly what for and she was damn rude and can't manage and shouldn't be at front of desk. I asked to see to the owner but they kept bluffing me off saying first he's at the back then he's not in - Lyiers. She was so rude she walked off again!!!!! Listen people when you work hard for your money you want to spend it where you get good food & good service. There are far better restaurants out there The only tip I left was telling them they need to get some people skills. Don't waste your money TO THE OWNER-GET YOURSELF ANOTHER MANAGER-READ THE REVIEWS !!!!!!!!

Had a takeaway that was lovey the weekend before. Thought we would go and dine in the restaurant as it was so nice. Well, we had an awful experience!! Our starters were very dry and did not look like picture on website. Also comparing it to our takeaway food was very disappointing. When we complained to the manager she was really not bothered and showed that she couldn’t care less. We decided to cancel the rest of our order and leave. It was early evening we were the first couple in there. Don’t waste your time going here!!! No customer care.

Extremely disappointing. Firstly they gave away our reserved area even though we had booked months in advance. The owner promised to ring and sort it out and we had no reply from them only for the staff to ring us on the day of the booking and asking us if we still wanted the booking. After that the service was appalling. Clearing plates and drinks before we had finished the meal or drink. Food coming at different times and generally disorganised. I would not recommend this place. After all this this still charging us the 12.5% service charge. No shame at all.

Excellent discovery while staying un Ruislip. My usual restaurant was closed so I did adventure a bit in Ruislip and found this restaurant to be different. And indeed it is. Styled, refined in terms of design, that’s pleasant ! But the food ? Well you have classic Indian stuff but also some dishes I had never tasted before. A great experience it was and a lovely evening for my lonely stomach.

Honestly say that this is one of the worst experience i have had at any restaurant for some time now. We ordered 3 masala dosa …… one had hair in it and they got 2 of the meat dishes ordered completely wrong . Apparently they...

I have just had the chilli chicken starter with a garlic naan. This is the best dish i have tasted for many years, I will definitely be back for more. I could eat that every day for the rest of my life.

I honestly would never go back to this place. The manager tried to force us to leave while we were still eating because another group had turned up. Problem was the food had arrived late. Manager didn’t apologise and tried to blame us for her...

Chaotic We were squeezed onto a round table for four persons, and there was six of us. We waited 20 minutes for somebody to take our order for drinks . The waiter said he didn’t need to write anything down as he would remember. This...

Quite expensive for what it was and it seemed very disorganised - there were 6 of us. I would like to have had an explanation of the food we ordered

We went with family to enjoy our meal together. Unfortunately, the service was abismal to say the least. I didn’t get my main meal of rava onion masala dosa along with rest of the family. On enquiring, I was told 2 minutes which was actually...

Warm Diet Coke, no ice cubes. Asked for salt and was given a plastic Saxa container with dried curry sauce all over it. Both chicken curries were rubbish. Chicken breast meat so overcooked it was like boot leather. What a waste of money. Wouldn’t go...

Having driven past the restaurant a few times, the restaurant looks very appealing. The furnishings and decor are modern and nice, but as soon as we entered the place, it was noisy and compounded with bad service and mediocre dosas at best, I would not...

Delicious food & friendly service. Have been several times & always enjoy our meals. Hoping to return soon.

Excellent food as always dosas were great as were our starters. The best service ever. Reshma looked after us as if we were the only customers and was doing the same for everyone under her care. Lovely to go to a restaurant and receive such...

I have visited this place few times with a friend who loves Indian food. The first experience was not bad, however, 2 more visits made me realise that the place is getting worse and worse. First of all, service- you either wait for ages to...

Just visited to have South Indian dosa. The moment I saw the menu I knew I made a wrong choice... A multicuisine restaurant with foods from all parts of India will never serve authentic cuisine of any region. Waiter took 20 minutes for order. Anyway...

We have eaten at Sarasa’s a few times now as we live in Ruislip & know we are fortunate to have such great food on our doorstep. We took some friends last night & it was buzzing with a queue of people on the street...

Visited the restaurant twice during the last few days, once with my brother and this evening with my family. The food was very tasty and excellent and the service was outstanding on both occasions. Both times we are looked after by Juhi Patel, who is...

the food was tasty, but had to heat in the microwave. I was a bit surprised that the poppadoms arrive smashed up in a carrier bag!!

Have been to Sarasas a few times before and always enjoyed the food and the service was good. However on visiting it today, the food was below average. More importantly the service was non existentant. The waiter cleared half the table, only to disappear doing...

This restaurant was recommended to me for its dosas and it didn't disappoint. Very good quality food. Fast and quick service and staff were good. It's a very busy restaurant and quite loud so don't come here for a quiet evening . Great to see...

Long wait in the noisy restaurant, naan bread stale and cold, one chicken rice dish literally had 3 minuscule pieces of chicken in it!!!! It is not cheap at all and definitely not good value for money. The menu is very vague, doesn’t even specify...

We have eaten here twice and both times we have been very pleased with the food. Great atmosphere, nice cocktails, aubergine masala is delicious! The service wasn't fantastic the second time we came; we had to ask different waiters multiple times for things. However it...

Really good service, the food was the best we have had for a long time. Just need to chill the sparkling wine a bit more. Will definitely be returning.

Excellent service and great food for our visit this evening. The Masala Dosa was better than ever! Aubergine masala was so tasty too

We ordered a mixed platter. Food was not cooked properly. Chef didn’t like our complaint. The soft drinks ordered was completely forgotten & we got it after multiple reminders and after the starters were served. Very poor service. Not sure how they’re getting 4+ ratings....

Had a lovely relaxed lunch at Sarasas, the food and service was excellent. This restaurant has been open a few months now and a much needed addition in Ruislip. We’ll definitely be returning, this time for an evening meal.

Food here is amazing! Our usual curry house was closed and we happened to stumble across this place. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated dnd clean, service is relaxed and friendly. The food however is definitely the standout element of the visit. Beautifully spiced and...

I remember talking to the manager of Sarasas in Hayes around 5 years ago and saying that Ruislip would be the ideal place for a branch, as the food and middle class asian population of the area may cause fireworks. I'm glad to be proven...
