Sakonis Restaurant Description
Most Indian restaurants in the UK offer customers a wide range of mealtime meat and vegetarian dishes. However, only a handful highlight the country's amazing hundred per cent vegetarian snacks and light bites that are enjoyed in almost every Indian home.
Through its à la carte and buffet menus, Sakonis introduces the English palate to an eclectic mix of home recipes that have been handed down over generations. Signature creations include spicy cottage cheese or paneer chilly, crispy bhajiyas, deep-fried fresh vegetables and gram flour dumplings, and chats or savoury snacks that are served at street carts in India, Pakistan and the rest of South Asia.
The eats section of the menu offers everyday snacks from all over India, ranging from the south Indian uttapa, idli and dosa pancakes, to curries and naan bread from the north. An interesting set of Indo-Chinese dishes embrace cauliflower Manchurian, sweet and sour chow mein, and sautéed babycorn.
Fresh juices and rare desserts such as srikhand, rice kheer, carrot halwa, and mohanthal help bring the experience to an end.
Your Reviews of Sakonis Restaurant
Ben (4 January 2008)
I've been going here once or twice a month for the last year and they offer a great buffet. The service is a bit touch and go - it can at times take quite awhile to be asked if you want a drink, and they do not offer tap water. The food quality is top notch though, I’ve heard the menu is excellent as well, but with a buffet this good, it's hard to decide to order off the menu. One word of warning though, by and large, most items on the buffet are spicy, so if you don't like heat, order from the menu.

The food at this restaurant was brilliant with a range of choices. My sister and I went for a girly lunch with my mum last week for the first time. The paneer chilli WAS on the menu along with every type of vegetarian food you can think of. For a family who loves their meat and regularly goes to non-vegetarian restaurants, I would say, this review should speak for itself, as we would be returning to it whenever we go Leicester again. If you want value for money and tasty food, this is the place in Leicester!
