Sagar West End is a vegetarian and vegan South Indian restaurant on Percy Street in Fitzrovia, close to Tottenham Court Road and the theatres of the West End. Its kitchen focuses on traditional recipes, balanced spicing and freshly prepared food rather than fashionable reinterpretations. A broad choice of clearly marked vegan dishes makes the restaurant suitable for mixed groups as well as committed plant based diners.
Idli and vada provide a classic beginning, pairing steamed rice cakes or crisp lentil doughnuts with sambar and coconut chutney. Rasam and lentil soup offer warming alternatives, while bhel puri, pani puri, sev puri and potato chaat bring sharper combinations of tamarind, herbs, yogurt and crisp textures. Cassava chips and vegetable bhajee add more informal choices for sharing.
Dosas are central to the menu and range from a simple rice and lentil pancake to masala, Mysore, rava, paper and paneer versions. Fillings combine potato, onion, carrot, cheese or cottage cheese with carefully blended spices. Uthappam offers a softer, thicker rice and lentil base topped with tomato, onion, coconut, chilli or cheese, and each preparation arrives with sambar and chutney.
Traditional Udupi, North Indian and vegan thalis gather several curries, vegetables, rice, bread, pickles and dessert onto one complete platter. Diners can also combine vegetable kurma, aubergine bhajee, channa masala, fried dal, saag aloo or paneer curries with lemon rice, biryani, poori and chapatti. This breadth makes Sagar equally useful for a quick lunch special or a leisurely meal built around several regional dishes.
