5* for ambiance, the show (violins and opera singers) and the balconies are perfect to watch the show and they feel very intimate as well (like a private party). Feels romantic!
The décor is quite unique with bits and pieces of shows from London's past and a marroccan tent vibe.
The food was ok, but not mind-blowing, which is why I'm giving out one less star.
Had dinner at Sarastro. What an amazing experience with the ambience. The mixed grill was to die for and the rest of the food was good too. But it was the ambience that was the killer
One of the best experiences ever! :)
Situada em Covent Garden, é, definitivamente, uma das minhas melhores experiências gastronómicas. Não apenas pela qualidade dos pratos e pelo atendimento simpático mas, e especialmente, por todo o ambiente que se respira naquela sala de ópera boémica que nos remete para A Flauta Mágica de Mozart.
Das duas vezes que lá jantei, consegui mesa nas células laterais que imitam camarotes. De cima, a visão panorâmica sobre a sala cheia e animada, é surpreendente.
Sugere-se marcação com antecedência.
We went here for lunch and immediately figured it's a dinner place.
Food and service were great.
The ambience was lovely but the place was empty (I guess a function of Monday afternoon). Would definitely recommend for the decor more than the food. Quirky and interesting place.
We love restaurants with live music and we have been advised by some friends that Serastro is one of the best in London, very "decorated" bathrooms!!!!
Stunning atmosphere, theatrical service, delicious food and a golden experience all around. Sarastro is one of my favourite restaurants in London, and I recommend this hidden gem to foodies who are looking to book a unique experience for a special occasion. Stick around for dessert and get the chance to experience their amazing musical show.
This restaurant is nothing like i have seen before, Very theatrical. Food amazing. Service was good. I would recommend. Turkish restaurant with a twist, not like the Turkish restaurants in Kingsland Road.
This place is quite the oddball. The decor inside is very interesting and strange at the same time. It is perhaps the design which makes it the place it is. I have come here quite a few times and have always been mesmerized by the decor and the music played here. The food is varied and average; affordable as well. The staff is quick and efficient. This is a place you cannot miss!
This place in my opinion is suitable for large parties and loud times for it is not at all conducive to intimate meals or outings. Talking about the decor , it is very bold and weird.I am not a big fan of cliff like balconies above my head! The style is majorly baroque and inspired by the french royalty too.
This is not your best bet for food because the main staple at the place is wine and food is merely a side option.
Go to have amazing conversations with friends in the theater like setting!
I had an amazing time here and I will definitely be coming back to this place. The music here is quite charming and makes for a nice and comfortable environment to have your meals. The interiors and exteriors are both richly decorated and quite hip. The seating arrangements are quite luxurious as well. The food was quite delectable and came in huge portions, especially the Turkish cuisine. It can be a little expensive though so keep it for special occasions.
Went here for our wedding anniversary and absolutely loved it.
The food was gorgeous and our waiter Francesco was very polite.
Would definitely recommend the lamb that my husband had as it just fell off the bone. I had the chicken and it was so tasty as well.
You feel as though you have been transported into another place as you walk in but it was fantastic.
An absolutely fabulous place. More than just a restaurant. The decor is fun, surprising, eclectic and in some cases shocking.. but I love it!
The staff is great, friendly and efficient. The food is outstanding.
Then there's the live music and dancing. The dance floor fills, do jump up quickly if you're so inclined. Totally fun. As I said, more than just a restaurant.
Fantastic friendly staff and a very eclectic location. Food was good, we ate off the set menu. There was certainly enough of it to send us away content. Good selection of wine and beer. We were too early for the floor show but have heard only good things about it.
We went for our dinner on a weekday after work hence had booked it 2 hrs before and they booked us in. The restaurant wasn't so busy but the decor was so different and beautiful. Also the service was great each of them were making sure we were ok and looked after. We had ordered couple of starters and main also a dessert. It was just so yummy. I will post some pics and videos of the food and venue.
Starters: prawn and lamb with hummus
Mains: Lamb shank and Steak
Dessert: chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream
Love the vibe of this place! Their food was also delicious! We ordered the mixed grill and cold and hot mezze and we especially love the kofte (beef patty)💯
Fries on the side were surprisingly good😍
But lamb and steak were a bit over cooked
🙈
The house white was good. Cold and refreshing :)
Service was great! All the staff were super friendly and nice.
The drawing on the wall in the toilet was super wild 😂🔞absolute madness
Lovely theatre themed restaurant. Turkish menu. The cheese borek starter was delicious. If you like lamb go for the lamb shank. The steaks were tender and well cooked. Service was great. Definitely recommend.
One of the best dinning experience in London!
We really had a great time there starting from the crazy fun decorations that will always keep your eyes exploring new items, to the delicious food and last but not least the outstanding live show!!!! We went on a Friday night and it was latin music night and oh dear lord!!! It was so so so fun!
Totallyyyy recommended
Perfect for a pre theatre dinner. They have a set menu including 2 courses for £36. Quirky, opulent interior with balconies and booths making it a more private dining experience. It’s decorated rich fabrics and items from the opera house and theatre land making it unique 🎭
Amazing experience! So much history for a little place, food was good and service with a smile. I suggest going during the evening as they have live performances.
Very unusual place! Cool decor and food was so much better than we expected. Located right in soho near all the west end theatres. Very very good price. Starters are very good, main course was very good portion and taste nice.
Friendly staffs and good Thursday- Saturday show. Good atmosphere!
