Ordered Lal Maas for takeaway this evening. Extremely disappointing food this evening. This speciality dish was nothing more than a standard lamb dish, but charged the full price!
Having enjoyed this dish many times from Sai tonight was a disappointment. The dish is normally red in colour, lamb is soft and spicy. This evening the lamb was tough and the deep red colour non existent.

All around solid Indian food, nice interior, recently re-some exterior when the sun comes back...never. Lunch special is also a sold and includes a beer, wine, or soft drink. Shown is the lunch special.

Great service and ambience! The food was delicious we enjoyed it!! Just wish it was a bit less spicy. But we'll definitely visit again :)

Really enjoyed the visit to Sai. I asked for something spicy and the chefs special lamb was bang on point! The sag paneer and pilau rice were less of a firecracker but remain note worthy for texture and flavour. Very enjoyable. I hope to return soon.

Ive been here twice now and its one of the places that really stands out in my memory for providing some of the best Indian food in the South. Ive eaten plenty of Indian dishes in Delhi and Mumbai and the UK and various other places and was still impressed by the food here. Would love to come back for the bottomless brunch.

Had a meal with friends here last Friday and all the dishes we tried were delicious. Different choices from those usually offered in Indian restaurants, all freshly cooked,the lamb cooked and served in a clay pot was exceptional and a chocolate samosa for desert was much enjoyed. Service friendly and efficient,little wonder it was packed by 8.45pm.
