What an interesting place! Hard to describe the decor. Think over the top theatre from the moment you enter. Service great and the food was pretty good too.

An unusual restaurant, mainly due to the interior, which is - to put it mildly - different from any other restaurant you have seen. A wild combination of different artefacts, mixing opera with the style of an old boudoir. Food has a Turkish touch. Service is friendly and attentive (Francesco!). We visited Sarastro on a Saturday evening, when reservations are recommended because it is quite busy. During the evening, live music started and it didn't take long before the majority of the guests were dancing and singing along. Prices are fair. We had a fantastic and entertaining evening. Absolutely recommendable.

One of my favourite places in London to go. Have been going for about 25 years and still enjoy it like it was my first. Amazing decor and dining experience. Check out the Soul, Swing and Motown nights on Thursdays. Ooh and the artwork in the toilets 👀

Amazing decoration, great service. The gluten free starter option was very good. Everyone was happy with their meal. Flavours to match the decoration.

Musician was great, Collins something. Maybe Roy Collin, food was decent.. place is interesting..service wasn't bad.. just that I was asked to order a main plus starter or dessert whereas I'd wanted to get a fre starters, sides, and desserts instead.

Lovely gem of a place in the heart of theatre land. Staff were warm and hardworking. Not cheap even with the Robin menu with 12.5% added and wine but worth a visit. Interesting pictures in toilet:)

My graduation dinner at this restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped in, the vibrant atmosphere set the stage for a night filled with celebration. The live music added a dynamic touch, creating a lively backdrop that complemented the joyous occasion.

The food was a true delight, offering a diverse menu that catered to various tastes. Each dish was expertly crafted, showcasing a perfect blend of flavors. The culinary experience alone would have made the evening memorable, but what truly stood out was the unexpected joy we found in the little details.

Even the toilets were a pleasant surprise—clean, well-maintained, and a reflection of the restaurant's commitment to providing a top-notch experience in every aspect. It's rare to find a place that excels not only in its cuisine and entertainment but also in the often-overlooked aspects of dining.

Overall, our graduation celebration at this restaurant was a perfect blend of delicious food, live music, and attention to detail. It's clear that this establishment knows how to create an atmosphere where moments of joy and celebration flourish. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to turn a special occasion into an unforgettable experience

We ate here for a celebratory dinner after a matinee theatre. The venue is amazing with small raised areas like theatre boxes. We sat on a mezzanine right at the end.

The servers coming to check and deliver food was slightly hysterical as the first thing we saw was their head popping up. Francesco was very friendly and helpful and tried to entertain us with his jokes.

Only the set menu was available but that served us well. We had a mix of starters and then main courses. I had a really tender lamb shank and my sister the seabass. All the food was good portion size and hot which is really good. Those who had desserts enjoyed them.
