Sara's Bistro in South Lakeland

This is nowhere near Indian food, but that's not a problem. The waiter with the glasses and fake Louis Vuitton belt, was properly rude and didn't want to serve us.

Curries were exceptional and great service. Tandoori meats okay, not as good as their curries imo.

We had booked beforehand, but it wasn't full on the Friday night we went in here. Great food at a reasonable price. My friends had tandoori chicken livers for starters. Both like Indian restaurants and haven't seen this anywhere. They both said how nice it was but I'm not into livers. We all had different dishes and all enjoyed it. No card machine to pay though which could be an issue for some because you'd have to walk to a nearby cashpoint. I've been before and I'd go again.

Upside you take your own booze. Starters all good. Just main course was a little over done. Good service and pleasant staff

Very tasty, great service. The curries all tasted different, not like some curry restaurants where the sauces can be quite similar. The chicken was cooked really beautifully, we particularly liked the one that came with orange. Fresh popadoms, delicious lime pickle and some fluffy warm nan bread. The food was really really nice and the staff were friendly and attentive too. We would come back for sure.

We had already tried a takeaway from Sara's two nights ago and it was so good we decided to eat in. Our dishes were a vegetable madras, a chicken bhuna, a chicken dupiaza and a chicken biryani. We also had a perfect garlic naan and rice. All in all our meals were excellent.

Food was very tasty, staff were friendly, welcoming and professional. When we visited the restaurant, it was BYO for alcohol but they were still serving soft drinks.

We were a group of 6, in the Lakes to conquer Scafell Pike...which we did. We had a celebratory curry at Sara's and it was delicious. The food was great and reasonably priced. I managed to book a table a day in advance and yes it's cash only. They only serve soft drinks but they welcome you to bring your own alcoholic drinks, for which they'll happily provide glasses. Excellent meal. Thoroughly recommended.

Vindaloo was excellent, just a touch salty but good. Wife had Tandoori prawns, she said they were fantastic. Lots of sides that were also equally great. This was a take out & not a eat in. We were very pleased.Cash only.Not a licenced bar, but if u r eating in they allow u to bring ur own alcohol. Not soft drinks.Best to order over phone b4 picking up as we had a 45 min wait. Parking is also restrictive,Not many spaces & i believe 30 min max.Overall we enjoyed so well worth the visit.Would use again.Thanks.

BYOB and Cash only. If require halal, inquire when ordering. A nice little Indian restaurant with a touch of Bangladeshi cuisine. Every thing we ordered required a bit more salt. So wasn't exactly to our taste. We also had Sara's special in the starters, wasn't special at all. The kebab was quite chewy, chicken pakora was dry and meat tikka was a bit hard. Chilli pannir (another starter) wasn't that spicy and tasted ok. Plain naan was delicious and Butter chicken was nice. Chicken tikka biryani didn't have a taste of biryani at all. No desi dessert.
