Reviews for Sadya

Went to Sadya with my dad last night as it is 50% off with the Tastelondon card and only round the corner so we thought we'd give it a go rather than venturing out to the usual suspects in Tooting. Sadya is a small homely restaurant specialising in Southern Indian cuisine so it was a nice change from the bog stanadard jalfrezis and tandooris. The menu was varied and there were lots of dishes which we could have ordered. Dad had the lentil soup and we also ordered a rice pancake with a prawn filling. Both were delicious and had interesting flavours. For the main we had the masala chicken, the grilled king fish plus a side order of okra. Portions were good. Food was fresh and surprisingly not greasy. Everything was made with care and tasted like home cooking. The lady serving was lovely and explained the dishes. It wasn't busy but when we where nearly leaving a large group came in and it took ages getting the bill. Anyway we were very stuffed and for £26 with the discount, for 2 large cobras, 2 rice, 2 starters, 2 mains +vegetable and chappathi we were more than happy. Looks like this one will be our local, can't wait to try other dishes.

The name Sadya literally means a feast, served during the festive period in Kerala. Traditionally, the feast day is one of festivities, fun and laughter where whole families come together, with a lunch that lasts half a day!

Sadya is the typical Kerala feast served on a banana leaf, with a sumptuous spread of rice and more than 14 vegetable dishes, topped with ´payasam´, the delicious sweet dessert cooked in milk. At one time, the Sadya included about 64 items, eight varieties, each of eight dishes, such as the pickles, thorans and payasams. To accommodate this mind-blowing number of dishes, three banana leaves were laid out one below the other!

Today, fitting in so many dishes in this manner may be more imaginable than the idea of either cooking or eating it, yet despite all changes, the Sadya still spells magic and at this sadya, Thas and his team have gone to great lengths to bring you what is best of this Feast.

The award winning chefs bring you food as cooked in their villages and hope you enjoy the original taste. Their philosophy is ´Originality at affordable prices served in a relaxing environment´. Using the highest quality ingredients prepared with utmost care, Sadya guarantees a meal of utmost satisfaction.
