Lacked flavour - Edit
We wanted a bite to eat before heading to the theatre, sagar came up on happy cow. It was quiet so service was really fast. We shared a veg curry, garlic rice, chapati and onion Bhajis.
Read moreThe onion bhajis lacked onion, we couldn’t taste garlic in the rice and the curry was bland.
It was ok as we needed something to eat on route but I wouldn’t return based on lack of flavour/bland taste (sorry).

A bit overrated? - Edit
The food was okay, but absolutely nothing special and not authentic. It was not spicy, which ist not normal for indian restaurants and i also had to put extra salt on my dish, because it tasted boring (Saag Aloo). My sister took the vegetable noodles which were also somehow tasteless. I don’t know…

very nice! - Edit
whole menu is vegetarian with the majority being vegan and/or vegan options! so nice to go somewhere where me and my family (who have lots of allergies) can have at least 80% of the menu!!!

Good Indian Dishes - Edit
We stumbled upon this restaurant by accident and it was really delicious! We were there rather early so there wern’t a lot of other guests, which was nice, because the restaurant itself is on the smaller side.

Pick up was fast, meal was filling - Edit
During a busy business trip I just wanted to eat alone in my hotel one night, so I ordered pick up here. It was ready very quickly, and the amount of food for the price felt like such a good deal. I ordered the vegan thali, which after a discount came to less than £20. I could not finish it as one person, but everything was exceptionally tasty.

Tasty vegan Indian food! - Edit
Loved finding a fully vegetarian Indian restaurant in London. Over half the menu was vegan, and there were even vegan desserts! The dosa was so tasty. My only complaint was that there is no tofu or other vegan protein option

Best vegan Indian food - Edit
The food at Sagar restaurant was the best Indian food I’ve had so far. I’ve tried the vegan thali platter and it just was delicious.

Huge menu, mostly vegan - Edit
Menu is extensive and most items are already vegan. More on the traditional side. Clean and calm atmosphere.

V handy - Edit
Great location on Tottenham Court Road, delicious food, good-sized portions, good service. About half the menu is vegan, and the dishes are well-described. Soulless interior but I wasn't there for the vibe.

Fine - Edit
Food was fine, I had the channa masala and it was nice enough. Rice isn’t included and at £4 it’s pretty expensive. The batura was nice but very oily.
Read moreThe restaurant itself is unexceptional but great location. Service was particularly unfriendly which was very offputting, the two men who worked there seemed very grumpy and one in particular treated me like a burden rather than a welcome guest.
Overall it’s fine in a push but I wouldn’t rush back.

Serviceable! - Edit
The food here was good but the dosas were not the best ever. My dosa (the Sagar special) was fully loaded and got soggy quickly. I didn’t love the crepe. The filling was a good spice level and delicious. My husband got a spicy curry but it was mild and on the bland side, according to him. I think you’re better off going to Brick Lane and finding a random restaurant there; most advertise vegan options. It was fine but we were a little disappointed because we were expecting really great Indian food in London.

Excellent food, lots of vegan options! - Edit
As expected from a south Indian restraunt there are lots of delicious vegan options, all of which are clearly labelled on the menu. They also have quite a few vegan desserts which is always great to see (I was too full to try any of them though!).

Lots of clearly marked vegan options on the menu. Bhajia were unpleasantly dry, but everything else we ordered was perfect. Will definitely eat here again in the future!

Würde ich nicht weiterempfehlen - Edit
Wir haben kürzlich das Sagar in London zum Mittagessen besucht und leider eine durchwachsene Erfahrung gemacht. Der Besuch begann vielversprechend: Als wir draußen die Speisekarte studierten, wurden wir freundlich eingeladen, Platz zu nehmen, was einen positiven ersten Eindruck hinterließ. Doch sobald wir am Tisch saßen, änderte sich die Atmosphäre spürbar. Der Service wurde distanziert und wirkte auf mich sogar arrogant und herablassend, was das Gesamtbild stark trübte.
Read moreBeim Bestellen wurden wir darauf hingewiesen, dass die Hauptgerichte ohne Reis serviert und dieser extra bestellt werden muss, was den Preis des Hauptgerichts nahezu verdoppelte.
Die Speisen selbst waren leider enttäuschend. Die Gerichte waren mittelmäßig, boten keine besonderen Geschmacksnuancen und enthielten keine interessanten Alternativen zu den üblichen Hülsenfrüchten wie Kichererbsen. Auch Fleischalternativen wie veganes Hühnchen, die der Speisekarte mehr Vielfalt verliehen hätten, fehlten komplett. Für ein vegetarisch-veganes Restaurant in einer Metropole wie London hatte ich definitiv mehr erwartet.
Insgesamt stimmte das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis nicht. Aufgrund unserer Erfahrung würde ich das Sagar weder erneut besuchen noch weiterempfehlen. Es gibt in London sicherlich bessere Optionen für indisches Essen.

Great Birthday Dinner - Edit
Fabio took me here for my birthday dinner and it was amazing. So many vegan options!! We ordered the Rasa Vada, Pappadams, Pani Puri, Onion Rava Masala Dosa and Masala Dosa. The Dosa are massive! Maybe best to share. It was difficult to choose, could’ve ordered so much more. We’re definitely coming back to try all the curries! Chill vibes and quick service!

A bit disappointing - Edit
The onion bhajis were great but my main of a masala dosa was pretty bland. I was also quite surprised that they didn’t have plant milk/yoghurt to be able to make vegan lassis, which was disappointing tbh
