Great food. Good location. Friendly staff.

Oh I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Its shear quirkiness is amazing, one of the most unique places I have dined. It’s fabulous! So many hidden gems and treasures. You won’t forget this place.

Came for a pre valentines meal and enjoyed the food very much. lovely presentation and really interesting atmosphere and style. The balcony tables feel intimate and romantic.
I felt the live performance was a little jarring during a meal and a bit too loud. I believe the pricing was too much for the simplicity and portions of food. all round an enjoyable experience but even expensive for two people.

Sarastro is a restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine. The decor is absolutely stunning and theatrical.

It reminded me of a king's tent in an Arabian desert with vibrant colours and artefacts.

The service was attentive, but the taste of the main dishes was, unfortunately, not satisfactory.

The lamb shank I ordered, which was very tender, was very salty, and I eat a lot of salt, so for me to find it too much is telling. My friends agreed.

Meanwhile, their food of moussaka and tortellini required seasoning as it was quite bland.

The starter of scallops was very delicious, though, and cooked to perfection. The chocolate fondant dessert was also lovely.

Overall, a lovely dining experience but let down a bit by the main course.

Fascinating venue in the heart of theatre land. Almost opposite Drury Lane theatre, this former pub has been completely redesigned into a magical mini theatre; very atmospheric. There is a ramp for access - so accessible but the main ladies' toilet is not.  (There are other toilets for youngsters which may be accessible).
Staff were friendly enough.  Service was a little slow, but the food was excellent; it was delicious in fact.  For me, it was a little pricey. But by London standards, probably not!

This place makes me want to live here permanently.  The food was fantastic and the place’s interior is like nothing I’ve ever seen.  The service was super friendly and helpful with recommendations for food and drink.  I’m there is one place I could recommend in all of London it’s here.  A must visit.
