Restaurant Sandikala

Never fails to delight! We had the new 88 € menu and it was superb! Amazing home grown and local produce with an Asian twist- just delicious! Luke and his team are warm and welcoming - we are so pleased to have discovered this gem of a restaurant!

A hidden gem! This place is definitely on par with some of the Michelin-starred restaurants I've been fortunate to dine at. We chose the full course menu, and it was worth it: each dish was beautiful and delicious, combining local fare and south east Asian flavors in a creative and balanced way. Chef Luke is an artist. The wait staff is friendly, knowledgeable and discreet, which made the experience all the more enjoyable.

I’d been eager to visit Sandikala for a long time, especially after reading the glowing reviews and seeing the beautiful dishes on both their website and in reviews. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite live up to expectations. The food itself was undeniably tasty, with excellent flavours throughout. However, some of the plates felt very minimal, with little in the way of garnish or supporting elements, and the portion sizes were surprisingly small. For example, our first course was a single quail egg cut in half with a touch of sauce. The second dish consisted of just a few slices of tomato with a bit of crumble, the main course was two small pieces of veal with a single slice of aubergine, and the final plate was half of a tiny muffin. No other garnish or elements to make it beautiful and enhance the flavours. That said, the fish dish and dessert stood out — both were delicious, with creative flavours and combinations that truly reflected what we had hoped to experience at Sandikala.

Very nice dining experience. We went on a Sunday for lunch and really enjoyed the creative 5-course menu. Plenty of parking right outside and the restaurant has a nice and open courtyard when you walk in. Service was excellent and every dish was accompanied by a thorough explanation of the ingredients. The Chef told us that the menu changes about every 3 weeks and the dishes are made with as much local produce as possible. We will definitely be back again in the near future.

This is a fine restaurant indeed with a creative, innovative and refreshing menu, great service and a pleasant setting. It’s a gem for more discerning diners locally.

Was checking out my old reviews and had to update this initial 5 stars rating with a comment. A year later, this is still one of the most memorable meals I've had in the last decade. I want to go back. I don't often go to that region, but if I'm not around there in the next 2-3 years (absolutely worth the detour), I will make the trip just to go to Sandikhala.

We loved the vegetarian food here, it was amazing, beautiful presentation, amazing taste, great selection of wines and finally a brilliant tasting gin and tonic. We will definitely be back. Thank you for such great service.

Another outstanding lunch with the best noodles (freshly hand-rolled as it happens) I think I've ever tasted and another delicious bottle from their eclectic wine list.
