I’ve been coming to Saina Indian Restaurant for many years now, and the quality has never changed. I first visited back in 2020 and even today the food tastes exactly the same — authentic, consistent, and full of soul.
The vada is perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside, just like it should be. The biryani is outstanding — fragrant rice, well-balanced spices, and deep flavour that genuinely reminds me of India. Every curry on the plate is cooked with care, not rushed or watered down.
I run a food business myself and cooking is one of my biggest passions, so I don’t say this lightly — this place has real flavour, real technique, and real consistency. You can tell the kitchen knows exactly what they’re doing.
I haven’t tried Indian food in every state, but honestly, I don’t think many places come close to this level. If you want food that actually tastes like India — not just “Indian-style” — this is the place.
Highly recommended. I’ll keep coming back.

I ordered the Mixed Fried Rice and Chicken 65 Fry, and honestly, it was the best fried rice I’ve ever had — full of flavour and perfectly cooked. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was exceptional. Special thanks to Chef Dhrum, who personally came over to check how the food was — such a nice touch! He truly makes the best food. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great taste and outstanding service!

"The $17 dosa deal was totally worth it, as it also included idli and medhu vada with good portion sizes.
The chutneys were outstanding—especially the garlic and coconut chutney, which had that authentic, traditional taste.
A must-try for anyone who loves South Indian flavors!"
