We are regulars here, and the food has always been delicious. Tonight (29 Dec) I want to say thanks for the outstanding service. The bar staff and wait staff were out of this world, genuinely hospitable, and managed to elevate our whole experience even more than usual! Onion bhaji, chicken tikka, goat curry and banana leaf fish were all superb too.
🌧️ My friend and I were literally running through the rain, looking for somewhere to eat and warm up. That’s when we spotted this cozy Indian restaurant—and what a lucky find! As soon as we opened the door, the delicious aroma wrapped around us and we knew we had to stay. We shared a barramundi curry, sauma dal, basmati rice, and roti. Everything was perfectly presented, served warm, and full of comforting, home-style flavours—it had that real “nona” taste. It was more than enough for both of us and absolutely delicious. The restaurant was beautifully thought out—cozy, welcoming, and a perfect escape from the weather. The customer service was also excellent: kind, attentive, and genuine. What started as a dash through the rain turned into a memorable meal. We’re so glad we found it—highly recommended!
What an AMAZING lunch today at Sauma with Brendan Pang! So much flavour, beautifully presented, so delicious! Great attentive service and oh those Sauma cocktails perfect! Thanks for a wonderful lunch!
The food was nice and freshly prepared. The service was great and atmosphere was fantastic for a late lunch for two in Sunday afternoon. We ordered the grilled barramundi in banana leaves, lamb samosas and grilled squid to share. We were happy and enjoyed the food.
Delicious Indian food in Perth. So flavourful and perfect level of spice. Fantastic service and attention to detail.
I'm not sure why this place is rating at 4.4 at time of this review. For a pre-show (Fringe) drinks and share plates it's a solid 5 star. Apart from great food (clean, crisp, non greasy) , the service team (mostly Spanish or South American backpackers, with the sprinkling of indian staff) were spirited, professional and friendly. It was a great vibe. Well run establishment. Thank you for your hospitality.
This was fantatsic. Didn't realize it was an Indian when we first went it for a drink. Loads of high quality food choices and tons of veggie options. Great team, very friendly.
Sauma offers a refreshing and energetic twist on Indian cuisine, perfectly located in the lively Northbridge precinct. The restaurant has successfully blended the bold, vibrant flavours of authentic Indian street food with a contemporary and stylish setting, featuring rustic decor and communal tables that encourage a shared-feast mentality. Dishes like the addictive Tamarind Lamb Ribs and the flavour-bursting Pani Puri Shots are essential starters, setting the tone for a menu that feels fresh and inventive without sacrificing traditional depth. While the atmosphere is buzzing and the service is efficient and friendly, it's the high quality and modern execution of the food that makes Sauma a standout. Whether you opt for a classic like the Butter Chicken or a specialty like the Banana Leaf Barramundi, every plate feels carefully crafted. It's a fantastic spot for a celebratory meal or a pre-theatre dinner, delivering a dynamic, memorable, and high-value dining experience that makes it a firm fixture on the Perth food scene.
