Sarada - Kingston upon Thames

Have been to this restaurant many times over many years and was so sorry to hear of their recent closure due to a 'pest ' issue.

Closed by Environmental Health due to food contamination caused by cockroaches in the kitchen. Cockroach found in poppadoms served to customer. Best avoid!

There was a lovely friendly atmosphere on a Saturday as local people came early, good food, well cooked naan and very spicy tandoori, happy to let me take a doggy bag when i could not eat it all then I love the spinache sag baji,

We often get takeout from Sarada if you order as a walk in you can sit and have a draught kingfisher beer whilst the food is prepared (about 20 minutes). This is a very trad curry house, and reassuring because of it. The food is good, and good value for money there 's 10% discount for paying cash on a takeout. The jalfrezi has just the right degree of spice; the korma is rich and silky. We much prefer Sarada to the curry house across the road, which because of it 's 'contemporary ' style seems more attractive to some. Sarada is old school and all the better for it.

Booked up Sarada for a family birthday celebration. My parents used to visit this restaurant 30+ years ago and loved it. We live a little further out now but thought we would give it a go.
