Sai serves authentic Punjabi cuisine with tandoor cooking a speciality. The spice range is broad, from minimal to high levels and vegetables forming the backbone of the menu. Wheat is the staple food of Punjabis; however, they do enjoy eating rice at festivals and other special occasions. When it comes to food, each region within Punjab has an entirely different preference, for example, people in Amritsar are particularly fond of stuffed parathas and milk products. The philosophy of life for many Punjabis is to eat, drink and make merry. They are lively people who are extremely fond of eating good food. In the preparation of Punjabi food, onion, ginger and garlic are used extensively to enhance the taste of the food.**NEW***SUNDAY BRUNCH 11am to 3pm, try Indian street food from different part of India with unlimited KADAK CHAI.****LUNCH****Now open for lunch Tuesday-Saturday 12-3pm.

My friends and I had lunch at Terra Rossa yesterday and it was fabulous! The food was delicious as were the wines. The menu was a little different from your standard Italian cuisine - we loved it. It was all beautifully prepared and presented. The service was excellent - efficient, warm and welcoming and the ambience was rustic, cosy and inviting and very festive given that it’s the week before Christmas. Overall, a wonderful find - we’ll be back soon!

Good range of food - I’m currently having to do an elimination diet but I could eat their salmon salad and it was delicious! My friend had one of their pizzas and was very happy. Lovely bottle of pinot, really nice restaurant, and we were left to chat which was nice, we didn’t feel rushed at all:)
