Sakonis

Overpriced vegetarian food. It used to be good but now is too busy for its own good and cannot produce the quality. Its busy though, so people must still like it?

Out of all the Sakonis around this is far by the most popular branch in my opinion. Food may be a tad overpriced, service may not be all that but the food is brilliant. Tasty, spicy and good to look at. The buffets on offer will fill you up for the whole day, there is a lot on offer and you get to have the best of all varieties ranging from currys, rice, sweets, savouries, chinese, etc etc.

Fantastic place, well worth a visit

One of the only benefits of working near Wembley Central was the opportunity to get to Sakonis which is Number 34 on Timeout’s Top 50 for 2008.

This institution is known for bringing in the crowds on weekends and to be honest it was fairly crowded for a Thursday late lunch too. The restaurant isn’t much to look at - almost clinical looking with its white tiles and interior but the food on offer was fabulous. It offers a great selection of very tasty Gujarati vegetarian food and strangely enough even some Chinese dishes (mainly noodles.) The fact that it was a buffet meant we could also sample to our delight (and peril … I know I certainly overate!) Half the time I wasn’t actually sure what I was eating but I was definitely a fan of the masala dosa and the simple bhel mix. The food was actually so tasty you almost forgot you weren’t eating any meat!

Sakonis isn’t a flashy place but for decent vegetarian Indian food at a decent price I would definitely recommend. The service ain’t all that bad either - efficient and relatively friendly.

oh my god the buffets at this place are great you get so full at the end its about 15 pound per head and its well worth it the food is great and the service is so good they always have a smile

a vegetarian friend of mine took me here (i say took, i mean dragged me reluctantly) im not a massive fan of veggie restaurants, but i was quite pleasantly surprised. the food is really good, quite simple, understated but delicious. unfortunately, i thought the service was appalling. if you want to go for a quick lunch there is no chance you will get out of there in less than an hour. they just seem to completely ignore you, totally worth it for the food though if bad service is not something that bothers you.

Sakonis has a dull atmosphere, serves overpriced food and offers a poor service. Yet it serves brilliant food. I would especially recommend the chilli paneer. Avoid the buffet on a quiet night as the food will be cold, and meat eaters beware this it has a purely vegetarian menu. I would visit this place if you want delicious food and don't mind the dreadful atmosphere and service and can afford the over priced food. There is also a 10% service and seating charge and i do not recommed the take away option.
