Price: Moderate
• Indian • Raynes Park
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.

    Given the reputation of this establishment, it did not fail to live up to the hype surrounding it's name. The plates where simplistic in nature but full of wonderful flavors. The kitchen buzzed with an energetic hum, loud at some points, reminded you that something special was being crafted just for you. The staff moved around with purpose and paid close attention to providing an amazing dining experience.

    I visited Bocconcino with my 15 yrs old son. We had carpaccio and melanzane parmigiana as starters, and ravioli with seabass and a plain ham and cheese pizza as mains. My son had the tiramisu for desert. I used to live in Italy and know Italian food. Bocconcino really brings out the flavors in every little piece of the dishes. I rarely order pasta as I get easily full, but I’m happy I did this time. Wonderful flavors. The carpaccio came with little dressing which was acidic and a great asset to the dish, I could munch them for lunch. The tiramisu jiggled like a master chef one. Absolutely well worth a visit.
