Sabi
Sabharwal, owner of Haiku has spent nine months and £3 million
building a replica of his Cape Town restaurant in a Mayfair street.
Four separate
kitchens spread over three floors specialise in Japanese, Chinese,
Thai and Indian food offering what might be called Asian tapas.
Advice to the customer suggests that at least four items per person
should be ordered, starting with dishes from the first page, which
lists sashimi, sushi, salads, soups and steamed dim sum followed by
fried, battered, tandoori-baked and grilled food on the second page.
The third page covers wok-fried, curries, noodle and rice dishes.
With prices on
the high side, Haiku sashimi platter at £18 to start is
surprising;y generous and of a reasonably high quality.
Prices start
at £4 and rising to £20, with the majority of items costing
between £6 and £12 so eight dishes for two can easily mount
up for a meal.
The
décor consists of acres of marble, stone and bare wood combine
to striking effect, and it will be interesting to watch how this
rerstaurant goes once it has settled down.
