    Another lovely family night spent at Sajis. Food excellent as usual. Staff were so helpful to accommodate my Granddaughters pushchair and find a nice calm place so she could be fed.

    Saji's is a MUST go to restaurant. The food is absolutely amazing, extremely flavourful and a wide choice for all types of curry lovers. The nann bread is the best I've found in the UK and you know its fresh even before taking a bite. The staff are lovely and will give you personal recommendations if you ask. I wasn't sure between two options on heat level and the young waiter was so brilliant at explaining the difference and what to expect from either dish. Will 100% be going again. Fantastic value for money. Parking can be tricky, but no fault of the restaurants at all. Take out is available and was very bus so popular for dine in and out.

    The BEST Pakistani restaurant you'll ever go to! I'm originally from Reading which is quite close to London therefore I'm spoiled for choice regards to Asian cuisine. But believe me, in terms of taste, big names such as Nawabs are nothing compared to Sajis. Such AUTHENTIC Pakistani flavour. Everything was cooked fresh which was such a relief as we've been to a few restaurants where they cut corners in terms of not cutting fresh salad etc. The restaurant itself was perfectly clean and the furniture and layout was very modern (we really liked the blue roof lights 🀩), but what set this restaurant even further from the competition was the INCREDIBLE HOSPITALITY! I came with my father and uncle Sajid made us feel especially welcome! He had a good chat with us and really made us feel like we had known him for years. His staff were very friendly as well and the food arrived promptly which was great. All in all, if you want some GREAT Pakistani food with, quite easily the best hospitality you'll ever get, then look no further! Highly recommended!

    I had another beautiful meal at Sajis on Thursday evening. I had lamb methi ghosht with garlic rice and garlic naan. I don't know how they do it but the flavour was absolutely amazing, and the lamb was so tender. My friend's meals were also fantastic and so tasty. The service is always excellent too. I wish I lived next door. I'd be there several times a week. Keep it up Sajis - you're the absolute best.

    - bring your own booze - they provide glasses - standard traditional Indian restaurant - plain naan could do with butter - pickle tray was below average - tandoori salmon (machli) was meaty and tasty. Lamb chops are quite cheap, but nothing special. - the chef special lamb was flavoursome. The nawabi khana chicken was also great. If they ask you to go spicy, it’s only like a hot at Nando’s. - service is a bit slow - lots of parking outside

    We came for a surprise 50th birthday meal with family and friends. We had a wonderful time. The staff are so helpful and polite and nothing was a problem or too much hassle. I asked multiple questions and for favours and everything was done which made the evening extra special and less stressful. Thank you to everyone who helped make the night so memorable. The food was lovely as always and everyone commented on it and we all had different dishes. Always great food and always lovely kind staff. Thank you for everything Saji’s!

    food was was presented well as were the staff I might point out though we were seated and had looked at the menu starving and ready to order we were then told sorry no alcohol bring your own for a corkage charge as we were already seated we went for coke clearly out of a bottle as it was very flat so we didn't drink as much as we would have normally tables didn't feel right no table clothes and the lighting didn't seem to fit although the tables were very nice it did feel like a dinner hall with a few pictures dotted around the place it did need that female touch adding to the decor very clean looking i didn't venture to the toilet but a nice meal good portion control but don't feel we would venture back to the restaurant unless passing at the right time

    Absolutely amazing Indian cuisine in the heart of Felling. We had a fantastic meal, all courses were tasty, fresh and very filling. The Jalfrezi is exceptional and the Naan bread was super duper tasty. 10/10. Our first visit, excellent waiter service too. Thank you all.

    Saji's never disappoints, we were first through the door so a little wait for poppadoms but they were fresh so we were more than happy to wait. Food was lovely and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Can't recommend this restaurant enough.

    It was good a restaurant we enjoyed their food . We went two days first day we enjoyed that's why we went 2nd day and 2nd day food was nice but I was charged more and I know that but I didn't say anything. I paid but I'm not going again because we were supposed to have dinner there all 4 days as we are staying at Newcastle. I was charged Β£11 for salad but it was Β£1 on their menu and they have gave me free daal curry which I didnt order, the guy said its from house for you but at the end I been charged for that aswell. Other then that it was good clean restaurant nice food, the owner was very nice unfortunately he wasn't there when they charged me.

    The food was lovely but unfortunately only 3/5 stars due to a long wait between courses.

  • 1/5 Ewa W. 10 months ago on Google
    Me and my partner went through very difficult time so we decided to go out relax and try to switch off We ordered our startes and mains. Customers who came after us were already finishing the main courses, when we finally received one starter....we kindly asked if we can also have our second starter.. we were told we ordered a second starter as a main dish... Therefore, our second starter was served about 20 minutes later.. we thought ok mistakes happen we only humans. Unfortunately, exactly the same happened with our main dishes. Only one main was served, and we had to ask for the other one, which again was served about 20 minutes later... No apologies from the owner when he was taking our payment, no discount offered for disasterous service. Overall stresfull experience and hectic service. We wanted to have a nice experience instead we were eating our food separately..and chasing our order Very disappointed 😞

    Went to night with my wife. Rang at 7pm to book a table for 8pm. Was told no need to book. Got there at 8 and was told it will be 10 minutes. There were about 10 people waiting to be seated all were being told 10 minutes. Another 8 customers walked in who had booked tables and were told 10 minutes. Instead of telling customers that the restaurant is fully booked they tell them to come down. This is what I call being greedy. At 8.30pm I was again told 10 minutes. I made my views very clear in front of other customers and walked out. This was my second visit. Won't be recommending nor I will go back. Spend my money somewhere else.
