A Soulful South Indian Culinary Experience at Sagar Hotel, Covent Garden

Recently, we had the pleasure of dining at Sagar Hotel in Covent Garden, where we were warmly welcomed by Mr. Gopal , the Head of the Branch. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance exuded a comforting charm, setting the stage for a delightful culinary journey.

We were fortunate to indulge in a selection of South Indian delicacies tailored perfectly to our taste buds. Each dish was a symphony of flavors, expertly crafted to provide a stomach-friendly experience. The hospitality extended by Mr. Gopi added an extra layer of warmth to our dining experience, making us feel truly valued as guests.

Amidst the array of delectable offerings, the star of the show was undoubtedly the Rasam Vada. As the weather in London lingered with a chill, this piping hot dish proved to be the perfect antidote, lifting our moods with its comforting warmth and tantalizing spices.

I cannot recommend Sagar Hotel enough to fellow food enthusiasts. Whether you're craving authentic South Indian cuisine or simply seeking a memorable dining experience, Sagar Hotel delivers on all fronts. I, for one, am eagerly anticipating my next visit to relive the culinary bliss that awaits at this gem in...

Visited for dinner on a Friday evening. Despite the time being 6pm it was quite busy (and noisy), possibly people eating before heading to the shows. As it was pure veg, everything on the menu was available for us. This place has a good selection of South/North Indian dishes and they weren’t that spicy.

Our group had the South Indian Thali, Rajdhani Thali (North Indian) and another had a paneer dosa. The paneer dosa was delicious, North Indian Thali came with 2 rotis (thinly rolled and well made but large size), a small serving of pulav rice, 3-4 curries (tiny portions), papad and sweet dish (halwa) and a raita. The South Indian thali came with 2 (large) puris instead of rotis, plain rice, sambar and couple of South Indian curries. Both thalis were delicious and quantity was ample (too much for us as we aren’t big eaters). Given the tiny quantities of curries we asked for an extra helping of a couple we liked but they seemed quite grumpy at being asked for that but reluctantly obliged.

We skipped desserts and headed out for the gelateria nearby.

This is a great place for people who want authentic Indian vegetarian food at reasonable prices (given...

Under new management, young staff is good, manager is terrible and not amenable at all.

Have had sagar a few months ago, it was great. So clearly gone downhill!

Don’t ration with service and provide good quality food. Young Indian bloke was great, manager not so much.

Clearly can’t be bothered, telling customers that don’t order things as it’ll take a while and food made my stomach upset the next day.

See another review that literally highlights my thoughts: The manager had an unbothered attitude & provided us with no assurance/ real reason for the food being super late. Really mid cold soggy dosa, sad & dimly lit ambiance. Overall quite a disappointing experience, wouldn’t recommend. They really must learn to treat their guests better.

In my case the food was not crispy like a rava dosa should be, and undercooked onions, gave me food poisoning etc… food was on time, but it was terrible. I think core issue is, understand that you might get tourist visitors, but now comes Winter etc.. and people will slowly lose faith, up food standard, use good oil, use good ingredients, throw stuff away when bad etc.. wouldn’t get this problem at a Sarvana...
