Sarastro - Westminster
Christopher Villegas If you enjoy eclectic, odd, unconventional places in London, this checks all the boxes. Starting from the street, you can already tell this place is going to be special. When you open the door, your first reaction should be WOW! It reminds me of being on stage and backstage all at once.
If there is room in one of the box seat tables, ask for them as you get a fantastic vantage point of the entire restaurant.
The food is delicious and does follow the Mediterranean inspired menu. Some of the items are large enough to enjoy on their own without having to do the preset course.
The bathrooms have explicit and sexual visuals so if you’re bringing kids, be ready to do some explaining.
There are usually live performances daily and typically in the evening hours. Plan accordingly. They also cater to large parties so depending on time/date, they might be completely booked.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful when it came to ordering items off the drink and food menu.
There is a tribute area to Richard, who seemed to be the spirit of the restaurant. If you have some time, be sure to look at the tribute area near the entrance.
