    We used to use Saqui a lot, but switched across to Mohini by the station. After a few disappointing customer experiences with Mohini recently, we gave Saint Martins a try for a Take Away last night after hearing and seeing good reviews of it. Well, it certainly didn’t disappoint and we were really impressed. The 🌶️ Naga Chicken was 💯 on point, with a generous portions, great flavours and the chicken was absolutely perfect and melted in the mouth - very impressed and will be back again - thank you. 👨🏻‍🍳 5 🌟 🍽️ Good portions 💰 Good value 👨🏻‍💻 Easy online ordering 🧼 Clean and tidy inside 🙋🏻‍♂️ Excellent service on arrival 👩🏼‍💻 Brilliant WhatsApp Chat support

    Our first visit since it was renamed from the Saqui, and we were pleasantly surprised. We went on spec on a Friday evening (18:30ish) and it was already fairly full. The restaurant obviously caters for families and large groups (we counted one group of 16) but it was all smooth. Staff were welcoming and the service was prompt and efficient. There was a slight mix up with our food order, but this was quickly rectified. Our meals were tasty and well presented, and we'll happily be going again. Worth noting they don't serve alcohol but you can bring your own (there is an off-licence next door or the Co-op two doors away). Overall a pleasant experience and I'm happy to recommend.

    This Indian restaurant is the best! Always delicious and full of flavour. They misread my order and although I got the correct order delivered they gave me a complimentary dish, so very kind. I would highly recommend this restaurant, it’s the only one I use. Thank you!

    Very tasty food and lovely people. First time getting takeaway from Saint Martins. Had an issue with the card payment where I was charged more than once and the owner went out of his way to resolve and keep me informed until it was all completed. Will definitely come back.

    We had a lovely meal and the service was excellent. Bring your own drinks makes it affordable for a family night out as well!

  • 5/5 John H. 1 year ago on Google
    We have dined in twice recently now, and ordered two takeaways for delivery. We've tried a variety of dishes (me chicken, partner seafood) and have really enjoyed the meals, whether in the restaurant or as takeaways. Friendly service and great food at very reasonable prices. Restaurant is un-licensed so is BYOB. Highly recommended.

    Had the tandoori mixed grill with a number of side orders. Food was delicious and as ever you can bring you own booze. Great price and friendly service. Will be going again soon

    Food was really good. Service okay. Bit disappointment on the end receiving bill hand written hale english half hindu. Couldn't get what paying for but prices on the bill were not matching prices in menus. Few £ difference. Not too pricey anyway Overall a good experience and I can recommend it.

    I visited this evening with my brother and my son. The food is excellent. The chef came out to see us after our meal. I’m vegan (the others are not). He told me about the options he could prepare. Prices are very reasonable. Nice people. Highly recommended.

    I visited the Saint Martins restaurant in Carshalton beeches with my mother. We had a lamb tikka masala and Lamb Naga, they was both delicious. We also had a Sag aloo which was lovely, and a vegetable curry side dish, there was not many vegetables it this dish but it tasted great. Sometimes quality is better than quantity. The mushroom rice was good too. We arrived early and the restaurant was empty, it started to fill up as time moved on. A good experience and friendly staff made it complete. This restaurant has changed hands a few years ago. I had visited here when it was called something else and I remember it was good then.

    I ordered a takeaway for the first time today having heard good things from friends. The lamb dhansak was top notch: great consistency, perfectly spiced with a generous portion of meat. Will be ordering from them again and also plan to eat in the restaurant in the near future (why I couldn't comment on atmosphere today). Thank you Saint Martins!

    Love this restaurant, the eat in and take away experience is always fabulous. The dishes are classic with some specials and the flavours are all different which is key!

    My family have just enjoyed a delicious meal here and will certainly return. The food was delicious and customer service was excellent. Thsnk you for a great evening!

  • 5/5 Rob E. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent size portions, really tasty food. We had delivery but will be dining out there in future. Food was delivered within a reasonable time considering it was Friday evening. The only negative was the guy that took the order said he’d include poppadoms but these weren’t included when the food arrived.

    Best Indian in the Beeches , prompt delivery and caterers for individual tastes.

  • 5/5 Karen M. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food with generous portions . We both had lamb dishes . we over ordered and they were kind enough to bag up the remains to take home. Good to note they don't serve alcohol but you can bring your own . They have a great menu of non alcoholic options including beers & wines ,we chose mango lassi which was lovely . service was great and all were welcoming and attentive . will definitely go back .

  • 5/5 Kerry R. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food and lovely staff, had a lovely time at Saint Martins.

  • 5/5 Andy O. 1 year ago on Google
    Now rebranded as St. Martins - new menu. Food is still good and seems busier than it used to be so a bit more atmosphere. Still bring your own booze - no corkage charge. On the whole it's an improvement and a good Indian restaurant

  • 3/5 Debbie D. 1 year ago on Google
    Although the food is of a very high standard and by far the best locally and the bring your own bottle is an extra pull, the ambience needs work. No pictures on the walls. Quite dark inside. It is a little like eating in a hotel lobby. Get that sorted and they'll be laughing.

  • 5/5 Richard T. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful! Great food, great service, great local restaurant!

  • 5/5 Richard J. 3 years ago on Google
    I love this place. The best curry around (and I’ve tried most in Sutton and both in Belmont. The most meat and the best flavours.

  • 5/5 Marno H. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic little, local curry house, you can't go wrong, fantastic Dhansak!

  • 1/5 Kieran A. 2 years ago on Google
    Very disappointed. I had been here once before and had a very positive experience. This time, however, was a very different story. The food was poorly prepared, oily, badly seasoned, cold in parts (microwaved). Is there new ownership?
