Sakonis - Hatch End

akonis is an exclusively vegetarian, casual, family restaurant specialising in vegetarian dishes from across india. Sakonis pioneered some famous dishes that have transformed the indian vegetarian fast food industry and have been copied and created across the UK and beyond. At Sakonis, you can treat yourself to a wide range of snacks including the well known samosa (spiced vegetables stuffed in a triangular pasty), classic Indian street food including Bhel (puffed rice, crushed puri and vegetables mixed in a tangy and sweet tamarind sauce) and Pau Bhaji (mish mash of steamed vegetables, cooked in a spicy tomato and onion gravy, served with hot buttered pav), south indian treats such as Masala Dosa ( a thin and crispy savoury pancake made from lentils and rice) and wholesome Indian inspired sandwiches and wraps! In addition, the menu ties itself to it’s East African roots with indian flavoured dishes using mogo (cassava). Sakonis was one of the first restaurants to pioneer one of the most famous vegetarian Indo-Chinese dishes of all time – Paneer Chilli (Deep fried chunks of paneer sautéed in a tangy chinese sauce.) Our perfected recipe is so beloved that we have often been told we serve the best Paneer Chilli in town. Sakonis chefs have been making some of the classic dishes and home-made chutneys for over 25 years and are continuously improving the taste and quality. Long standing customers who have visited the restaurant for years know exactly what to expect when they visit!

One can also indulge in the all you can eat lunch & dinner buffet at Sakonis (breakfast on weekends too) which includes the popular savoury snacks but also has tasty curries, rice dishes and sweets. This is perfect for large groups who want a little bit of everything!

Sakonis is heaven for all vegetarian food lovers and has something for everyone whether you need a break from a busy shopping spree or just want to treat yourself to some homemade indian grub!

You can also visit Sakonis Juice Bar for a range of fresh juices – we have also jumped on the bandwagon with our very own version of Green Juice and Red Juice and added a range of smoothies and milkshakes to the menu. Another one of our top sellers is the Sakonis Faluda ; the perfect indian milkshake. This is a perfect sweet cooler after a spicy indian meal or can also be enjoyed as a treat on a hot summers day. It is made out of rose syrup flavoured milk, sev, takmaria and topped off with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream drizzled with strawberry sauce.
