SanSara, the North Indian restaurant nestled along Robertson Quay at Grand Copthorne Waterfront, reopened on 1 August 2025, unveiling a stunning new interior and a revitalised menu that celebrates both tradition and innovation. Drawing inspiration from the ancient culinary heritage of Awadh and India's regal palatial architecture, SanSara offers an immersive, soulful, and deeply authentic dining experience. This journey delights all the senses.
Tali Hokkaido Scallops 3.5/5
A standout addition to the refreshed menu, the Tali Hokkaido Scallops feature plump, sweet scallops lightly marinated in turmeric and ginger. Pan-seared with chef's masala, they deliver a gentle coastal vibrance that's both fragrant and satisfying.
Kutti Lal Mirchi Murgh Tikka 4/5
The Kutti Lal Mirchi Murgh Tikka features tender boneless chicken, marinated in crushed red chillies, yoghurt, and aromatic spices, then grilled over high heat. Each bite is smoky, juicy, and perfectly balanced in heat, with roasted edges and a bright hint of lemon that elevates the flavours beautifully.
Mutter Darakash Ki Tikki 3.8/5
A comforting vegetarian starter, the Mutter Darakash Ki Tikki is a green pea and potato patty subtly spiced with cumin, ginger, and coriander. Pan-seared to a crisp golden-brown, the tikki is simple yet deeply satisfying, letting the natural sweetness of the peas shine through.
Sailana Shevand 4/5
The Sailana Shevand is a luxurious reinterpretation of a royal prawn dish substitutes lobster, stewed in fenugreek, coconut cream, and a rich tomato-onion gravy. The sauce is so delicious that every bite begs for the accompanying naan to mop up every drop — a decadent indulgence.
Vilayati Subzi 3.5/5
The Vilayati Subzi is a vibrant medley of seasonal "foreign" vegetables such as asparagus, water chestnuts, and tangy tomato, lightly sautéed and finished with fragrant garam masala. Each vegetable retains a pleasant crunch, allowing its natural sweetness to shine while providing a delightful textural contrast.
Sansara-Nasila Dungar Lal Maas 3.5/5
The Sansara-Nasila Dungar Lal Maas is a refined take on Rajasthan's celebrated lamb shank curry, this dish features tender shank slow-cooked in a Mathania chilli-infused gravy. The sauce is rich, velvety, and smoky, enhanced by a subtle aroma from hot charcoal and ghee. While rum is added tableside, it can slightly overpower the curry's delicate fragrance.
Bhuna Pyaz Our Kaju Ka Pulao 4/5
A fragrant and comforting rice dish, the Bhuna Pyaz Aur Kaju Ka Pulao combines slow-caramelised onions with toasted cashews and perfectly separate, fluffy basmati rice. Lightly infused with saffron, ghee, and whole spices, the dish offers gentle sweetness, nutty richness, and a warm, inviting aroma — a classic accompaniment that never disappoints.
Olive Goat Cheese Naan 3.5/5
The Olive Goat Cheese Naan offers a modern twist on traditional Indian bread. Fresh from the tandoor, the naan is soft with a subtle chew, and blistered char spots add smokiness. Creamy goat cheese melts into the warm bread, while briny olives add savoury bursts to each bite, creating a layered, memorable flavour profile.
Gajar Ka Halwa 4.2/5
A timeless dessert, the Gajar Ka Halwa is made from slow-cooked grated carrots simmered in milk, enriched with ghee, and lightly sweetened. Soft, slightly fudgy, and fragrant with cardamom, each spoonful evokes comforting nostalgia. Pistachios add a gentle crunch, rounding off a perfect finale to the meal.
SanSara's reopening is a celebration of North Indian cuisine at its finest — refined yet soulful, modern yet respectful of tradition. From luxurious seafood to comforting vegetarian bites, the menu beautifully balances depth, spice, and texture, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking an elevated, authentic taste of India along Robertson Quay.
Note: This is an invited tasting.
