Many vegan items, good food - Edit
Tasty food and not overly expensive. Lots of vegan and vegan-option items clearly marked on the menu. Everything tasty, and the servings are generous and satisfying. The "paper dosa" is a huge cone of thin, crisp rice-and-lentil pancake - break off pieces and dip in the sauce. There are vegetarian and vegan wines available.
Read morePopular place, even on a Monday evening. I would eat here often, if I lived in the area.
Closed between 3:00 and 5:30 pm, open for lunch and for dinner.

First time I tried Indian food; pleasantly surprised - Edit
As a disclaimer, I don't know much about Indian food, but I found this nice restaurant through the HappyCow app. I was walking around London with a friend when we decided to try some of the famous dishes that we've heard vaguely about. I did cook Indian food before, like curry with coconut milk and ginger, but I didn't have something "authentic" to compare it to, so I thought this could be a good learning opportunity.
Read moreWe both agreed to order just vegan food which made me very happy. When we told the waiter (whom I have a feeling was also the owner because he was very attentive) we were interested in the vegan options, he gave us a separate menu. There was so much to choose from, but we decided on a starter and two types of meals, and he helped us with recommendations.
So, we got the famous samosas which we both enjoyed very much. The food was so fresh, warm, and flavorful, and the cashew sauce + the sweet sauce were awesome together.
Then we had the Masala Dosa, which was like a giant pancake filled with potato and carrot purée. I didn't recognize all the spices, but it was a nice combination of flavors. My friend didn't like this dish very much, but I thought the filling was interesting.
Finally (or, at the same time), we had a version of curry with spinach and potatoes (as main ingredients), and we also wanted to try some vegan bread and we ordered the poori, which was slightly sweet, quite oily (they were deep-fried) and tasted a lot like Romanian donuts. :)) Perhaps I won't order them next time, but the curry was delicious and hearty.
The food itself was interesting and new to us, and I'd definitely go back and try some other dishes.

Good; not outstanding - Edit
The service here is always really warm and welcoming. The food is good, but I would say it doesn't stand out. The lunch deals are terrific value, but I'd say that for not much more, you can order more delicious items ala carte. This is a good place to go with a big group of people because they can cope with a crowd.

Reliable - Edit
Having given the other (Central London) branch a rather damning review for tastless food, I'm pleased to say that the Hammersmith branch far surpassed expectations. The food was good, tasty and arrived quickly. The mysore masala dosa was excellent and fresh. Staff were a bit over attentive, but it was early in the evening and there were not many customers.
Read moreI recommend this if you are in the area.
Pros: Fast service, Varied menu
Cons: A bit devoid of atmosphere

Not impressed :( - Edit
I was excited to be going to an Indian restaurant that was actually fully vegetarian for a change, but my excitement soon waned when I saw the menu. It disappeared completely when I finally ate my meal.
Read moreIt seemed like pretty much every dish (at least the vegan ones) were based around the same thing - a wheat, rice or corn item, some potato if you wanted it and the same sambar and chutney. A lot of carbs and not much flavour.
Usually the dishes are the same across Indian restaurants and I ordered puri with chickpeas, expecting the same delicious feast I was used to. It turned out to be rock hard flavourless hollow balls made of some kind of flour and a few chickpeas floating in a COLD clear liquid. It was inedible and if someone else hadn't said they would pay for the whole meal regardless I would have asked if I could not have to pay for that.
I am not someone who likes to say negative things about places (I came on here to write positive reviews) but I was so disappointed in this place I felt I should be honest. I have never had a problem getting vegan food in a regular Indian restaurant (and indeed they even have more choice for vegans than Sagar!) and have had far, far better meals in ones that also serve meat, sad as it is to admit that.
Cons: Only one (basic) vegan dessert, Unimaginative, samey, boring food, Less choice for vegans than usual!

Good variety and delicious - Edit
We went to this restaurant on Friday as in the area and fancied Indian food. Lots of choice we had the mysore masala dosa and a thali plus starters! The dosa is so light but filling we couldnt finish all the dishes. Want to return to try the Indian style pizza!

A gem - Edit
We found this restaurant by asking people in the street where we could find veg food and they directed us to Sagar.
Read moreThey are a vegetarian restuarant but they have a vegan menu which was very extensive.
I started with the dahl soup which was a delight, we then shared a masala dosa and a cauliflower and potato curry which had loverly flavors.
I would vist Sagar again whhen I am in London.
I live in Canada
Pros: good food, not greasy, good helpings

good stuff - Edit
Better than the usual indian restaurants that only have greasy spicy vegetables on the menu. Sagar (which is a vegetarian restaurant) has more to offer and has a vegan menu as well as vegetarian.

Excellent Indian food! - Edit
A really lovely place, and if my waistline would allow it, I would come here everyday! The vegan thali is HUGE, so I usually order a la carte. I haven't had anything I disliked yet. The potato bondas, samosas, bhajia are all amazing. The staff are really sweet too.

Even my carnivorous brother liked it! - Edit
This is a great little Indian restaurant for vegans who adore the cuisine. My brother and I shared lots of dishes which is a really great idea. It's good value for money. You need to ask specifically for the vegan menu. The staff were really jolly too which always makes for a pleasant meal. But of a dodgy area at night though, but I'd make the trip again.

Good Food - Edit
After a friends recommendation i visited this restaurant to check it out. On being seated we were given our menus. My friend is a veggie and i vegan so i called the waiter and asked what dishes were suitable for a vegan diet. On this the waiter produced a vegan menu which only had the dishes suitable for a vegan. So quick tip, always ask for the vegan menu on being seated, if required.
Read moreFor starters we had Fried idly and some vadu in a massala sauce with a bhel puri. These were great and quite filling. Four our mains my friend had a vegetarian Thali and i had the vegan one which were different small dishes such as Chickpea curry, salad, potato Curry, rice, and other dishes/sauces. These were both served with a bread, the veggie one a roti and my one with 2 large puri. We struggled to finish these and therefore no room to eat a desert. Well worth a visit and the cost was £44 which included 2 very large bottles of beer.
Pros: Fresh Food, Good vegan choice, Great staff

Ask for the vegan menu - Edit
...if you're that way inclined - I didn't realise they had one until after ordering, but then it appeared. Think it may be a copy of the ordinary one with stuff crossed out, but anyway it might avoid guesswork.
Read moreI'd call this a very pleasant South Indian place, attractively priced for an informal meal. It can get busy so booking is advisable.
