SAGAR RESTAURANT
Visited by Steve Davies, MyVillage

One of two newly opened West End branches, Sagar started life in Hammersmith touting itself as the finest restaurant in London to serve vegetarian Udupi dishes from Karnataka. With food so well prepared and an exceptional service, it really is hard to argue such a claim.
Idli served with sambar and coconut chutney was a light and delicate way to start. The dish wasn’t oily and perfectly complimented my lassi: a South Indian cocktail made from yoghurt and spices. To sample a selection of regional delicacies I chose a traditional thali consisting of ten small portions. Being a vegetarian restaurant the variation of dishes was somewhat limited but overall the food was tasty, generous and satisfying. The only tongue-burner was a fiery soup and, apart from slightly stodgy rice, the root veg, dhal, curry and raita were all faultless. The side dish of puri was my only real let down of the evening – far too greasy to enjoy.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, often recommending dishes to unsure diners, and the interior is modern and minimalistic. As for the cost, well, it’s hard to find food of this quality in Westminster at such low prices. Highly recommended.
