Recently I have been to some upmarket Indian type restaurants and found the food very average and expensive. I was recommended to visit Sathi in Chorleywood so gave it a try. I was very very impressed. Great service Clean and hygenic Hot plates and great food Big menu and reasonable prices. Drink on the house also offered. I’ll be back soon.

After seeing a few bad reviews I stuck with a friends recommendation and was not disappointed! Meats were delicious, spices incredible and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back. Made a huge effort throughout the meal to be friendly and attentive. Do not listen to the recent 1* reviews as that’s shocking.

Have enjoyed food from Sathi for many, many years. Usually good quality and very tasty but last few times have been disappointing. This time it was just terrible. Three of us ordered a variety of dishes - prawn, lamb and fish and various veggie sides. The mains were just bland meat in differed brown sauces. The jalfrezi is meant to be spicy with fresh chillies but was very plain with not a hint of fresh chilli in sight. The prawn dish had tiny prawns (not king prawn) in another bland brown sauce but overly sweet. I could go on but can’t be bothered. We ended the meal wishing we’d got a Chinese takeaway like the fourth member of our group who was enjoying fat king prawns in a sea of fresh vegetables. Definitely won’t be coming here again unless something drastically changes. Ps the rice was dry and hard. Criminal.

They do take it away. All you do is go on the mouse and then pay with the keyboard button but you can’t be a robot. Saying that I dressed as a robot once but I was very young then and possibly a bit unstable, anyway you go there and they put in bag and then you just take it away. It’s easy. Really nice place. We have curry and rice and those pompalooms which are like really big crisps but in a paper bag and we just take it away. I’m getting a bike.

I live down the road and go to sathi often, their quality and service was spot on. However this has not been up kept. The last few times I’ve been the food has been disgustingly oily, leaving stains on everything it touches. Plus they keep changing the recipes of my fave dishes which are now all gross. along with them constantly forgetting bits of food meaning I’ve been having to go back and retrieve my food - this has happened a number of times and they give little remorse (not even a free poppadom!!) As well as their food not being the cheapest, There are now no longer any good Indians in Chorleywood as sujoys is also rank and have a terrible hygiene rating

I have lived in rickmansworth for 14 yrs and sati used to be a favourite of mine. I am truly saddened to say that I was appalled by the quality of the food I had recently. The paratha was not freshly made and was pre made frozen paratha cooked from a packet, and it was heated. The curries were of very poor quality. I did call to express my view and the manager was respectful and understanding. Sadly, I will never set foot in the restaurant again. The chef and management must have known about the poor quality but were insultingly happy for it to leave.

We are locals and have visited regularly but we will not go back for a while. Tonight a serving of onion bhaji was cold in the centre. On commenting on it to the waiter, we were asked ‘are you sure?’ We asked that he tell the chef. No response from waiting or kitchen staff and the manager simply stood around doing nothing or chatting to other staff. Our other courses were ok but nothing special. We can’t really recommend this place but hope it improves.

My wife and I visited Sathi earlier this month when visiting family locally. We have experienced the takeaway service on a previous occasion, which was exemplary. Our opinion is that, from entering the restaurant, the level of service was well above the average. I would highlight the welcome and personal attention we received, from initial drinks, given time to choose our preferred dishes and then the speed at which these dishes arrived. Our experience was unhurried, during which we spoke with the founder of the restaurant, and our overall view is that we will visit again at the earliest opportunity.

I visit Chorleywood often to see my mother-in-law who lives close to Sathi. I had meant to visit many times in recent years, but schedules did not permit. Yesterday I resolved to try a takeaway meal. I was not disappointed. The quality of the food - Lamb Jalfrezi, Channa Massala, Sag Aloo was at least equal to the very best Indian/Bangladeshi food I have ever eaten. My benchmark is Memories of India (London, reviewed previuosly) which i have visited regularly for 20+ years. I will return - soon!

We first went here on the opening night and have been regulars ever since. So, when we had to point out that our recent meal was cold we expected the usual great service - none of it....just the waiter demanding to know exactly which dish was cold, no apology, and the food very ungraciously reheated! Then we asked what sort of nan we had been served - 'peshwari of course' snapped the waiter. But we had ordered plain nan - again no apology and no offer to bring what we had ordered. Instead of the usual friendly service and lovely food we left wondering what had happened to this part of Chorleywood life. Come on Sathi - you can do better!

This is clearly a popular restaurant but couldn't be described as special. The dishes were tasty and portions a fair size. The decor is a little dated and the wall seating a bit tight for 2 adults. The restaurant was quite chilly on the night we visited. The reason for my rating is that the value for money does not compare well with other Indian restaurants in nearby towns.

Having lived in Chorleywood my entire life and frequented all of the restaurants in the surrounding area, I find it extremely disappointing to have to post such a negative review of a local establishment.It may well have been a Sunday evening, but the attitude received from the owner was quite rude.A party of five spending in excess of £170 should be welcomed by any small establishment on a quiet evening but not in this case.The food was fine, as always, but the staff and in particular the owner were set on making every effort to rush my party through the meal and push us out of the restaurant as quickly as possible. By 9.30 on a Sunday eve we were being hassled to finish our meal and pay the bill and leave. We had no intention of doing so and took our time but by 10 the owner was being quite rude. When questioned about his attitude all he could say was that he had been in business 22 years and was not interested in a local resident voicing concern over his arrogant attitude.It's very easy to switch to a different preferred restaurant which I will do, but takes years to build and maintain a reputation...something this establishment would be wise to take heed of.Clearly a restauranteur who thinks he doesn't need the support of the local community.What a disappointment. Avoid. I will.

We visited on a Saturday night. Our party had booked, which I recommend as it is not very big downstairs. There is an upstairs which I guess they use for overflow. The service was very polite and attentive. The food was very good. It was nice tasty Indian food - not very spicy so we ordered some extra chillies on the side. The food is served very hot, and the plates are hot too - really appreciate that. We had a complementary post dinner drink - nice touch. We will go back. Only small criticism (and it is very small) - the waiters seemed a little too keen to clear away - it is nice to feel as if you can linger - that said, we did linger!

The food was average at best, such a shame the food is usually much better. The service was dreadful. The waiters seemed to have had any enjoyment or pride in their jobs kicked out of them. The lead server stalked up and down and made me edgy, I can understand why the younger men were so miserable. Ok, we were first in and they had only just opened for the evening but I just felt like I wasn't really wanted, not valued and served mediocre food that was somewhat rushed upon me. May have caught them on a bad day but I won't be returning. Poor show and bad management style Sathi. New ownership should be positive, in this instance a resounding negative for me.

There used to be a tradition of giving customers a drink at the end of a meal, nothing too fancy just a dash of baileys if you were lucky. This is not the case here. Service is basic with no flair or real customer care, almost robotic.Food is ok but the whole place has zero atmosphere.Rice is patted down like a pancake and when getting a takeaway the portions are small and not full to the brim (which I want).Also I don't think the 10% discount is applied for takeaway food.Onions and pops are a good call here which starts the meal off well. Oh well another one off the "tried" list.

This was once our favourite resteraunt in the area and we both visited and had superb takeaways. The food was always top notch. It changed hands a while back ( 2 years ago and sadly has declined ever since. WE keep returning hoping against hope that it will get back to brilliant again. After our last visit a couple of months back I doubt we will now return. The service is casual sloppy now. The portions , once generous have shrunk significantly ..and the chef is definitely not the same one as when they won their award..... last visit after two very small sized starters my wife had Chicken Archar and I had a Chicken Jalfrezi The chicken was dry and pretty tasteless and following the meal ..I did not feel good after this at all ... which is unusual for me and my tongue stayed stained dark/ blackish for about 2 days after this meal. I'm that is the last chance I am prepared to give Sathi ...unless the owners or the chef changes ..................Very sad ..from favourite restaurant to an off the list one in about 2 years .

Firstly no one would disagree that the Indian food here is great but that's only half the job of a great eatery and prices are high without a tip so service should be top notch.These are tips they should adopt immediately:1. Never walk around with hands in pockets 2. Never walk around chewing food3. Pour water if you bring it in a jug4. Look to make space on the table and find room to put dishes so they lie flat not only when serving but during the meal also.5. Try and smile when serving, look happy to be of service ... say yes sir, thank you sir, anything else I can do for you sir.6. Make sure you are quick to hold the door open on our way out and thank your customers ... really thank them ... for spending their money with you and not someone else.... else next time it will be over to Sahib's.In short make every meal a wonderful experience. That has to be your soul, and sole, purpose if running a restaurant.This is free advice Sathi ... next time it will cost you more than a low tip.

Sometimes we have an early dinner with the children and also choose it as a venue when we want to dine close to home.Great menu, with specialities & recommendations dependant on your taste.Cant fault service; welcoming, personalised and overall a great dining experience.

Shared two chicken dishes a rice and some very and a naan. The chicken was exceptional and very tasty. The restaurant is upscale and very well appointed but not expensive. The chicken dishes were in the 9 pound range but we'll worth it.

We order takeaways from Sathi regularly and occasionally eat in. The service is always friendly and the food is always delicious. Definitely worth paying a little extra for.

Imaginative menu - especially if you want to explore further than the standard chicken/beef/lamb dishes. I'd recommend the chef's specials and particularly the veg side dishes - best sag & brinjal dishes I've ever had. I'm local so often have takeaways - which do a roaring trade too.

Kids sorted with in laws and fancied a nice authentic curry with great service and that's exactly what we received when we booked Sathi. They have dishes not seen in other restaurants which is great if you are adventurous and the staff go out of there way for you. See you again soon

I eat at Sathi fairly often and have been impressed with the new owners and their menu. The staff are all polite and service is fast. They offer several dishes that you perhaps might not usually find which often tempts me into trying something new. They will also typically offer you a complimentary beverage at the end of the meal or a rather famous "half lager" if you're waiting to collect a take-away, the seating for which is conveniently organised through a side entrance. The only thing I would like to see is weekly "specials" which most of the other restaurants offer in Rickmansworth and surrounding areas (ie, Tuesday night set menu).Overall a nice eating experience - slightly pricey but I've always enjoyed what I eat from this restaurant.

This is a small Indian restaurant and the seating can be a bit cramped. When we visited we hadn’t booked and although the service was a little haphazard the food was OK. One thing I didn’t like was they brought the bill before being asked for it so felt a bit rushed. Not a good policy in my opinion.

When Sathi opened many years back in the early 1990's, it's food quality and service was ahead of the field and it felt like a special occasion when visiting. Some 20 years later, and having visited on an October Friday evening, my perception is that whilst the local competition has significantly upped it's game, Sathi has stood still at best and the pricing is out of sync with what is being offerred.The food, whilst being ok, is nothing special but remains expensive. If anything, no better than what Sujoy has to offer and if you want to widen the radius, not a patch on the food on offer at the same price at The Coriander in Amersham. The atmosphere is also a little lacking yet, even still, it was quite a surprise to find the restaurant half empty at 8.30 on a Friday evening.I might come back but only for extreme convenience rather than desire.PS - We were given a complimentary liquer of our choice at the end of the meal. A nice touch which is never replicated at the Sujoy.

This is the kind of curry house you can visit without having had a drink. It's an anytime place. I agree with the post below it's the best curry in WD3. We visited on a Friday evening after having had a drink at the local pub. We arrived early for our booked table (8.30pm) and these was no problem, a warm welcome and severed quickly. Very tasty food at a good price, served by friendly staff. A free aperitif after dinner always go's down well too. Will be visiting again.

We regularly eat here in the restaurant or get a takeaway, both experiences are always excellent. The service is exceptional and the the people who work there are good at remembering their clients. I go for the chicken makani which is always good - thorougly recommend. It's a Friday night treat to go and sit in the bar with a G&T and wait for our curry.

Their menu offers a starter, main, side, rice and Naan for £12.95 on a Tuesday evening. It is clearly printed. We went there on that basis. When the bill came it was priced at £15.95. I complained and was told that due to inflation it had gone up. They agreed their menu still showed £12.95. The food was average. Service was good, if a bit slow, but because of their rip off we did not leave a tip and will not be going back.

Amazing dinner on saturday night, the Chicken Rasal special is unreal. Waiter was really helpful with some dietary requirements. Best restaurant by far in Rickmansworth and the surrounding area.
