Sarastro
About Sarastro
Filled with opera luvvies, tourists and eccentric Londoners, Sarastro has earned itself an iconic reputation in London's West End for its opulent décor and flamboyant food. Part decorative stage set, part bric-a-brac store, the dining room at Sarastro – which is located in Drury Lane - features crushed velvet tablecloths, cosy booths and private “opera booth” seating on the theatrical mezzanine level overlooking the restaurant. This charismatic setting is a dining experience you won't forget, and the menu is Mediterranean with a nod towards Turkey. Classic dishes include the lamb shank, the grilled sea bass and the pan-fried mussels in tomato sauce.

Brilliant - have been before and will continue to use this amazing place again - love finding new things to look for that havent been noticed before - even found a friend of my daughters name etched into the wall of one of the boxes - he too is an ardent fan. Food was excellent and service spot on.
We visited Sarastro in Covent Garden for the first time on Saturday on the way to a show. The decor was interesting but as a couple, we felt as though we'd been squooshed into a very small corner. This would be a great place to go as part of a larger party as there were lots of big alcoves, especially upstairs. However, the food was delicious. I had the rack of lamb which was cooked to perfection - pink and succulent. My partner had the beef bourguigon and there were no complaints there.
I loved the interior of the restaurant and it was a shame we left before the live music. My friend really enjoyed her seafood linguine. I had vegetarian option (crepes) and unforntunately was served luke warm, they were very quick to replace with new one and enjoyed the dish - could have done with more sauce and less cheese but otherwise very nice. Plan to go again and make an evening of it!
It was the decor of the restaurant that really stood out. The food and service were also very good. The Mediterranean Prawns starter and Lamb Anatolian were delicious. Our waiter was also really nice.
As always this is an event as well as dinner. I go here for the atmosphere, which is always good! My food this time was just oka - although the home made desert was amazing!!
