Very Tasty

5 Posted on 05 / 27 / 2013

An intimate and relaxed restaurant with friendly and knowledgeable staff. I went on my own as I am away for work, but was made to feel welcome and did not feel uncomfortable at all.

The food was absolutely delicious and good value for money. I had the chana masala, rice and papadams.

The vegan menu on offer boasted a exciting range of new foods including pancakes, pizza as well as some interesting curries. I could not decide so was offered recommendations by one of the waiters.

Pros: Delicious , Friendly, Affordable
Cons: None

A pleasant evening

5 Posted on 04 / 26 / 2013

Tonight I had dinner at this small and quiet restaurant close to Covent Garden. The staff was extremely friendly, and I paid around 15 pounds for a starter (two big samosas), a main dish (a kind of chapatti with potatoes and peas with a couple of different sauces), and a (mango) lassi.
The service was quick, the food was good and tasty, the toilets were clean... I have nothing negative to say about this restaurant! :--)

Pros: Good & good-value food, Quick and friendly service, Central location

Cheap and delicious food!

I visited Sagar with a group of 8 friends for my birthday. It was very easy to book on the phone. Not all of my friends are vegetarian or vegan so I was slightly apprehensive about bringing them to a fully veggie restaurant. Everyone enjoyed their food very much!

Sagar have a separate vegan menu so be sure to ask for it!
I had the samosas to start which were enormous (there were 2) then the sambar with boiled rice and the mango sorbet to finish. Lots of my friends had dosas which were ENORMOUS. I was very pleased with my food!

The prices are very reasonable, my food came to around £16 with a drink, extremely good value for the centre of London. Service was a little slow at first but they were very attentive, I can understand having a large group of people to cater to is intimidating, especially when the restaurant was quite full.

Pros: Cheap, Delicious, Separate Vegan menu
Cons: Slowish service , Only one Vegan dessert

Good food, excellent value.

Indian food is rarely one of my first choices when it comes to eating out, however Sagar is very much an exception. Excellent staff, a vegan and gluten free menu available on request and wines labeled as veggie or vegan. The food I had was lovely and the price very reasonable for anywhere but amazing for central London. Very much looking forward to going back.

Pros: Excellent Staff, Good Food, Great Value
Cons: None spring to mind

Tasty Indian food at affordable prices

5 Posted on 02 / 19 / 2013

For this location Sagar offers very tasty food at quite affordable prices. We didn't know there was a special lunch menu at 5,95€ (!) and thus ordered something from the menu which cost more but was also delicious and better than what you get at many omnivorous Indian places. The staff were also very friendly even though we were there at lunch time rush hour and had a toddler with us.

Pros: Delicious food, Freshly squeezed orange juice, Friendly staff
Cons: vegan food not clearly marked

South indian vegetarian restaurant next to covent garden. They had an all-vegan menu on request. Food was very tasty and medium priced. Service very good and welcoming, I tried to order dishes which didn't match well together and the waiter told me straight away even though what he proposed cost less. My omnivorous friends loved the food as well !

Pros: Vegan menu, great food, great service

YUM!

My husband and I were really hungry and stumbled upon Sagar Covent Garden, by pure chance, with a little help of our Happy Cow phone app. We were given the Vegan menu, which really spoilt us for choice. Interiors are very tidy, waiters very attentive and help you decide what to eat. Not realising that we would be served pappadoms to start with, we ordered a starter of Potato Bonda followed by two vegan Thalis, served with rice and pooris. For drinks we had fresh lemonade. It was all too much but we finished it anyway as everything was delicious, very tasty, lots of different spices and flavours. It was certainly one of the best meals we've had out in London, for a long time! Also it was encouranging to see lots of Asian families, which is usually a good sign. We ate a lot, drank a lot, but were fully satisfied and paid about £40.00 which for this part of the world isn't bad at all. Will be back asap with friends too!

Pros: Very Nice Vegan menu all yummy!, Attentive service, Not too expensive
Cons: There isn't a Sagar closer to us

Lovely food in a handy location

The service was friendly, the waiter brought me out the special vegan menu and told me when I had order too much food!
The food was lovely although the portions were too large for me so I did have to leave some. The vegan thali was lovely, but definitely a man sized portion!
The cost was reasonable, especially she y ou consider the location.
I will return!

Pros: Service, Price, Taste

Quality without fuss

This is a quality veg Indian place. The food is tasty (we had some
bhel puri, a masala dosa, and the mixed uthappam). It's simple and
plainly done. It's not too expensive. The food is substantial
without being excessive.

One star off because I would have liked to see more VSinteresting thali
options.

After several medicore experiences at well-known Drummond Street
restaurants, I have no intent of returning there. Places like Sagar
are a huge step up from them.

Pros: good basic food, filling, not too expensive

Vegan Indian items are hard to find elsewhere!

It's nice to have a Vegan thali.
My gripe though is that the vegan thali is not covered by the theatre deal, so the vegan option ends up as ~£15 instead of ~£6 for the veggie one. Considering you get almost exactly the same, with some subtractions, some additions, it feels a bit unfair.

Pros: Quite good quality Indian food, Good location, Not expensive
Cons: Veggie/Vegan disparity

Great veggie option in the heart of Covent Garden

Really good south Indian vegetarian food, and great value for money. Ask for the vegan menu, if appropriate. They even know which of their wines are vegan!
