Saathi Restaurant — Restaurant in London

I just ordered the prawn and vegetable biryani along with a paneer shashlik starter, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. I had specifically requested the dishes to be made spicy, hoping for a burst of authentic Indian flavors, but what I received was far from it.

The prawn and vegetable biryani lacked the depth and richness typically associated with this dish. The spices were barely noticeable, leaving the overall flavor bland and uninspired. The paneer shashlik was equally underwhelming, with the paneer itself being somewhat rubbery and the seasoning failing to deliver the expected punch.

For those familiar with and craving authentic Indian cuisine, I would recommend giving this place a miss. The dishes I tried didn’t come close to capturing the vibrant and complex flavors that make Indian food so special. It’s disappointing, especially after requesting extra spice, to end up with food that...

Went for a dinner with my family on a Saturday night as they were visiting from out of town. Have to say the food was very very delicious,however, the service was very slow, you could see they were prioritising takeaways as the delivery drivers were coming and going with bags of food whilst we waited for starters for 45+ mins! This was absolutely unacceptable and we spoke to them several times and the waiters just kept telling us food will be coming in 1 min, 5 mins, etc and explaining they cook everything fresh and that they were very busy. We understand it was busy we could see a full restaurant but I still think this was way too long for food to be served , especially when there's six starving people. No attempt was made by waiters or manager to apologise appropriately and they just brought us a nan bread on the house which i thought was "nice try but no thanks" ... Again, great tasting food but doesn't change...

The place is small and not bad, however, very disappointed with the so called 'prawn puree'. When it was served, I asked the waiter if that was puree as normally it is puffy. He said yes it is puree. I knew it was not and was unable to understand why it was cut into 4 pieces (flat indian bread).

I was still not convinced. So I called another waiter, then the guy said that it is paratha, because puree is too oily they do not offer that. I was like why would you advertise puree on your menu when you do not provide it.

If you have been in other indian restaurants and familiar with some dishes, you might get disappointed. The main course was ok. I was not impressed though and will not go...
