Saraf Bakery Cafe - Sunderland

Hidden gem. I recommend to everyone to try this restaurant. there was so much change and I was a little nervous that there was so much change that the taste was possibly affected, fortunately how wrong I was. all 3 courses were nice and all 4 of us had different things. the employees were amazing, and they went out of their way to be attentive and friendly. it was the high season of my elders and they got a free dessert with a beautiful botschaft written in sirup! fantastic eating, fantastic prices and special service thank you! we will be back

I decided to go out and try food for my first time having The staff was Amazing the chefs Are the greatest cooks I ever seen

Best food in town, will definitely visit again. very nice and quick service

Very pleasantly surprised, we booked using a Groupon voucher (having already phoned the restaurant to check they accepted it one of the very few that did accept Groupon discounts on a Friday! Walking in the decor need attention (paint is chipped and worn on the wall etc but the staff were welcoming and polite. We ordered starters and were again surprised by the portions very generous as well as tasty. Mains were similar filling and delicious only comment would be that with some mains you had the choice of veg OR chips/rice so I had the chef 's korma and it was chicken sauce and rice no veg at all and same with the other dish we ordered blue cheese chicken and chips. Looking at the plates it felt they were lacking (or at least didn 't look very healthy but in hindsight I don 't think I could have eaten any more, as it was I had to leave a little rice ! Overall a lovely evening, we will be returning.

Went here for the first time today to try some Filipino foods. We ordered the bulalo and botchoy, both dishes were ok but could do with some more depth of flavour. The staff were really friendly and the ambiance was nice and relaxed. Will definitely try some of their other dishes.
