Saara's Grill-n-Spice is a hidden gem in Koramangala. Located 600 metres from Forum mall, this place is located near Sapna book house. Ambience is cosy here, stuff are courteous, a guy named Rahul was very very helpful. We ordered nonveg kabab platter , sweet lime soda and bamboo chicken biriyani. The succulent kebab pieces are melt in mouth, properly marinated, each bite has the flavour ingrained into it. Biriyani had the smoky flavour and was good one after the kebab. They have valet parking. ZOMATOGOLD users will get 40% off if you pay through ZOMATO.

We ordered from à la carte menu and did not go for buffet. So, I'm not reviewing for the buffet.AMBIANCE & SERVICE- The ambiance was decent. You won't find music or mood lightnings which should obvious as it is a family restaurant. I found the staffs polite and patient. Service was good. We went late at night so it was not crowded and our food was served quite fast.FOOD - They have both buffet and à la carte menu. We ordered a number of items from Indian Cuisine. Starters were beautifully displayed. Here is the individual review of food items:1. Malai Murg (4/5) - chicken pieces were tender and tasted good.2. Paneer tikka (4/5) - Tasted good. Served with an amazing green chutney.3. Aloo Anarkali tikka (4/5) - The masala on potato was rally flavorful. served with green chutney.4. Dal Makhni (5/5) - This was really amazing. You could tell it was slow cooked and had all the appropriate flavors. I really liked the cashew nut flavour in it. Dal makhni was not very spicy and if you like very spicy food you might find this bland.5. Haryali Kofta (5/5) - This is kofta in palak gravy. It was really good. Although, A little more spices would've made it better.6. Paneer do pyaza (4/5) - Tasted good.7. Paneer butter masala (3.5/5) - This was little on the sweet side and I expected this to be spicy. Tasted more like shahi paneer.8. Raita (5/5) - Amazing raita.9. Phulka (5/5) - Cooked properly and tasted like home. A bit small in size.10. Roomali Roti (4/5) - Tasted good.11. Lassi - Tasted good.Overall all the items were good and some need more spices and masalas.I enjoyed the meal here.
I didn't go in with much expectations. The food was really decent and the ambience was decent too. They had many varieties in the menu and on the buffet.
Just had a great buffet lunch. Got some offer and chose this place. It was really good. The price was moderate. Quality was decent, but some preparations didn't really match our expectation. However, given the price, it was a good deal. Starters and deserts were particularly lovely.
The buffet they provide is up to the mark. Also, the ambiance is good. Coming to the service staff I met one service captain Mr. Sanjib, who helped us choosing the dishes. He is having good experience it seems also he was helpful. Overall, we are happy with the food quality and quantity.
Went to a buffet awesome starters and main course .The afgan chicken and Apollo fish was the star amongst the dishes .The desserts was fine .Overall a good experience would definitely recommend.
I have been going to this restaurant from past 1 years. Their food is too good specially like Al Faham , Laal maas and mix grill. I really enjoyed the food here . Service is very quick and all staff are friendly and polite.
Amazing Arabic food! The grill platter is completely worth the price. Mutton was tender and juicy. It was a random walk in which turned out to be a much coveted experience! I would recommend the grill platter and baba ganoush!
A very decent option if you are craving for some Arabic food.. They have a perfect fine dine kind of sittings which gives you different feelings all together. Liked the food, Service was a little slow, never the less we enjoyed the over all experience.
We tried Dal Palak Shorba Hara Bhara Kebab,Panner Tikka as Veg starters , all were good in taste.
Chicken Wings: Recommended
Chilli Chicken: Recommended
Tawa Chicken: Highly Recommended
Baklawa: A must try for all the sweet lover
Such a decent place for buffet!!!!we went for team dinner around 6660 rs has been spent for 9 people....nice experience..crue served the food well
Great experience . We got attention to everything small we required and even food was really tasty. Non veg starter , main course, salads were too good. Definately worth the money. Very clean n neat ambience with good Hygiene.
Saaras Cafe is inside SS Lumina Hotel, Cafe ambience was great, We ordered multiple dishes from menu .They have variety of options.
We ordered dal shorba , Chicken lasooni kebab, Rosemary paneer tikka , manchow soup ,Burger
Everything was great but I love the dal most
Don't forget to try their desserts Gajar halwa ,Gulab jamun ,They are mouthwatering.
Overall perfect place to visit with family and friends for fine dining
Located in the bustling koramangala block 5, Saara’s cafe is the multicuisine restaurant inside SS lumina hotel. Located on ground floor, the restaurant offers an ala carte experience over weekdays and a buffet over the weekend
The cuisine comprises of mostly Indian dishes with some strokes from Chinese cuisine too.
I tried the complete buffet experience here on my recent visit. My picks from the menu were the hara bhara kebab, the mushroom tikka and tangdi kebab
The main course also has a few delicious options. I loved the dal tadka and kadai chicken. The breads are served fresh
Kudos to chef Laxman and the courteous waiting staff for making it a memorable experience!

Located next to Sapna Book house on the busy commercial main road,this place serves some of the best Arabian and Indian cuisine.
The place is spread across 2 floors with the ground floor having a buffet option and the 1st floor with fine dining.
The ambience is done well with rich interiors and good lighting that lifts the mood of the patrons coming here to dine. The place can accommodate 100 pax at a time on full capacity.Good for friends to catch up or family get together.
Bar NOT available...
Valet parking limited to 4 cars and some 10 two wheelers.Space constraint for parking.
The Service could have been better. The Waiters seem to be lost and take a lot of time to serve food that at times you had to wait for bit unusually long.
Had a watermelon based Mocktail which was surprisingly too good.
The Starters tried were-
1. Hummus-too good. A absolute joy to eat.
2.Chicken roast-Not so great...edible.Could have been far better
3.Hara bara kebab-Too good.Prepared to perfection...Wow.
4.Banjara kebab-good
5.Aloo kurkure-am glad I tried this and liked it too.
6.Brown chicken-Best avoid
The Main course tried were-
1.Paneer butter masala-A dish done to such perfection that we just couldn’t stop licking our fingers...Superb
2.Hyderabadi chicken-Chef...take a bow. You have taken the dish altogether to a new level...MUST TRY.
3.Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani-Least expected to be so good but the chef here has given his best in whipping up a dish so close to our heart so right. BANG ON...Wow Chef.😋
The Desserts tried were-
1.Rice pudding-Honestly didn’t like it at all.Presentation too good but lacked taste.
2.Baklava-This was one of the finest desserts have tried of late and was just too yummy.MUST TRY.
A meal for 2 would cost around Rs 1200/- to Rs 1500/-
Buffet available at Rs 499/- +taxes.
Both Cards and Cash accepted.
I enjoyed the Indian Cuisine in particular and Arabian Cuisine in general.
In a nutshell,this place serves some of the finest food in general and the look of the hotel as something high end is not justified for the price they charge.Maybe a board outside announcing the prices may help in getting more footfall into the restaurant.
This place if it can attract more patrons is definitely here to stay...

This place is located at a prime location of Koramangala under SS Lumina Hotel. If you are searching for perfect Arabian cuisine then this is the place. Chef from Middle East has curated some great menu which will satisfy your Arabic food cravings. There is parking issue as this place is right on the main road.
***** Ambiance *****

Even though Arabic food taste is little bland for Indian taste buds but it will not disappoint you. Loved the Hummus Spice and Baba Ghannouj (Brinjal Hummus) with pita bread.
Manakish is nothing but other name of pizza in middle East. Veg Manakish was thin crust pizza with lots of toppings. Zatar ( til/sesame ) Manakish was something different which I tried here and it was nice. But I liked the veg Manakish more.
Chicken alfaham didn't pleased me much here. May be because it was overcooked and burning smell was coming from it. Mixed grill was also not that great. Mutton pieces were very hard. I think there is scope of improvement here.
Baklava was the best part of every thing and it was like show stopper. This is special sweet made of layers filled with chopped nuts and honey. You can buy a packet of the same to take back home.
Rice pudding is again a lovely desert to have and satisfy your sweet buds.
Biryani after having Arabic cuisine will activate your taste buds. Loved the chicken and mutton biryani. Properly cooked in Indian style with Indian spices.
Overall great place for Arabic cuisine. Had a wonderful experience and enjoyed the authentic Arabic food here.

I was craving for some good Arabian cuisine thus went to this place which was in my check list since very long. Had heard about the hummus hey serve and was all set to try some grilled chicken and hummus. But but but after seeing the menu and the varieties they serve, I melted 😋🤣
We started with trying all the varieties of hummus, which were plain hummus, spicy hummus and baba ghannouj (egg plant hummus). My gawddd they were so yum with lots of olive oil and the perfect taste 😍
Chicken Al faham, mix grill,falafel platter went perfectly with the varieties of hummus.
Mutton and chicken biryani were yummm. And they won our heart when they specially made falafel shwarma for one of our vegetarian friend 😍 apparently he loved the veg biryani, so vegetarians out there don't hesitate, they have plenty of options for you guys too.
Veg manakish( til seeds )and pizza were also decent. Baklwa is a must must try in desserts.
Overall you should surely try this place as they have an awesome service, and the Ambience is peaceful and you can concentrate on your food.
Do try it!!
They have a lot of options in the buffet for everyone's liking. They also have the Delhi food festival that's ongoing till Sept 15th.
We had:
Dill dilly kurkure chicken - Amazing batter fried chicken.
Mutton paratha - Paratha stuffed with minced mutton. Must have.
Chicken shahi korma - Amazing shahi curry which went well with the parathas.
Desserts were so tempting that 'No one can just have one'. All desserts tasted amazing.
Arabic food always bland in taste for Indian taste but they have uniqueness in their food. Each and every dish has a difference on its own. In Bangalore you may have so many options but the Saara's Grill n Spice serving you his best with the help of Chef Abbas.
I am with a group where we ordered some Arabic delicacies which was out of the world. North Indian offerings also not bad at all.
Some things you must try here
Hummus - it's Not the dry one what you get usually full of virgin olive oil flavour.
Mix gril - Mamamia.
Chicken roast - If you know how to roast your chicken you can cook anything.
Hara bara kebab - 4 out of 5.
Banjara kebab - Good.
Paneer butter masala - the gravy was good.
Hyd chicken dum biryani - Must try.
Baklava - can bet you. You can't get better than this.
Bon Appetite Chef BB
Great authentic Arabian food. The buffet is the usual Indian cuisine. I suggest you to try the Arabian dishes from the a la carte menu. The staff is friendly. Chief chef is a wonderful person to talk with.

Located adjacently parallel to Hotel Empire in Koramangala 7th block,this place serves some of the best Arabian and Indian cuisine in the area and poses a serious competition if this place is just marketed right.
They have both Buffet and Ala-carte option on ground and 1st Floor respectively.
The ambience resembles a business hotel on the model of B&B. The place can serve around 80-100 patrons at a time.
No liquor served here.
The Service definitely takes bit of a backseat with no clear instructions and the servers do feel lost at times.
Watermelon Mocktail was served which was actually but refreshing.
The Starters
• Hummus-loved it.Great on presentation and tasted good with Pita Bread.
• Chicken roast-Best avoid
• Hara bara kebab-A dish that was whipped up with great pride by the chef. Bang on taste.Must try
• Banjara kebab-ok
• Aloo kurkure-Humble Aloo served beautifully and tasted equally good.
• Brown chicken-Good
The Main course
• Paneer butter masala-One of the few places that serve the dish with such richness in taste along with the right spices that you just can’t stop eating.
• Hyderabadi chicken-the tender chicken with the chefs secret spices and a wand of magic delivers something so extremely flavourful..MUST TRY
• Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani-At par with any other Biryani brand across the city. Rich on taste and presentation.
• Roti/Kulcha-good
The Desserts
•Baklava-one of the top 3 in taste have tried so far...too good and have to try.Will be back for this again.
• Rice Pudding-Maybe the Baklava overpowered my taste buds in doing justice for this. Feel was good in its own league.
My Ratings
• Food-4/5
• Ambience-4.5/5
• Value for Money-4/5
• Service-3/5
With proper reach,this place can give a tough competition to the neighbourhood on taste,hygiene,quality and price too....
