Best Indian in London - Edit
Incredible menu, great service. Try a Thali if you want to try a very good variety. It was so good, we made plans to return later in the trip.

Great place to take non-vegans - Edit
Authentic South Asian restaurant offering mostly vegan dishes. Visited with meat-eaters and a vegetarian and all were impressed by the vegan options! The dosas are especially delicious! 😋

Mixed bag - Edit
I visited twice in the past year. The first time the service was helpful and the food was decent. It's in a really good location so even though the food isn't amazing, I suggested to another friend to go again. This time the food was not great. It was oily and my friend found hair in her food. They replaced the dish but still. We also paid for it. Really disappointed and would not go back again.

Overshadowed by Service - Edit
Sagar is an average Indian restaurant offering cuisine from the southern part of the country with clear vegan labels. A commendable meal but overshadowed by a bad service experience.
Read moreWe started with the Sagar Special Dosa: a rice and lentil pancake filled with a vegetable blend. The Dosa is soft and spongey, soaking up all the phenomenally spiced juices of the vegetable blend inside. A hearty amount of healthy heat lives in this dish so beware.
The Vegetable Kootu Curry disappointed. The dish was advertised and priced as a full meal but the amount of food presented was embarrassingly small. The taste was very subtle if not bland.
The Batura is a fun food experience, coming out like a fluffy, air-filled balloon. Fried perfectly, the Batura was served with two distinct sauces: one sweet and smooth the other spicy and gritty. Medu Vada, a fried lentil donut that is crispy on the outside and soft and crumbly on the inside, continued to impress and surprise me.
The dessert was a semolina-based cake with roasted cashews inside. It underwhelmed me but it’s not a dessert that fits my taste.
The service was mixed. We had a waiter add on 5 pounds to the bill before realizing that the restaurant mandatorily adds a percentage for a tip, hanging a shadow over the whole dining experience.
London is packed full of Indian restaurants. We chose Sagar because of the vegan-friendly labeling and advertising. I don’t regret going to Sagar but the service brought the experience down, leaving me with thoughts that my money would have been better spent somewhere else.
Cons: Service

Delicious Indian food - Edit
Wow! Food was delicious and the house-made drinks were incredibly tasty. The whole menu is vegetarian with a large number of vegan options, all clearly marked.
Read moreThe restaurant itself is a bit busy and somewhat cramped, but it adds to the ambience imho.
The staff were helpful and friendly.

Fab food, sad service - Edit
Delicious authentic Indian dishes, clearly marked as vegan on menu. Service without a smile or barely a word! Ask for booth as they are better than cramped tables.

Incredible - Edit
I loved everything about my meal here, so many options and amazing flavours. We ordered a curry each, a selection of rices / bread and we only paid £20 each. Super reasonably price and the food is honestly incredible. The staff here are also lovely and very conscientious - will be back!

Great Indian food! - Edit
Clearly labeled vegan dishes on menu. Had the bhindi okra and The Aubergine dish which taste very different from other restaurants. Spices are well balanced and not over empowering.
