This is a lovely, relaxed and modern looking South Indian restaurant serving vegetarian food. The quality and taste of the food are great - and you can get dosa, poori and battura bread, which you can't find in regular Indian food places. The prices are good too - Â£4 for a curry, such as daal or chana massala. The garlic rice is also a favourite of mine. The staff are friendly and don't buzz around you, so there is a nice relaxed atmosphere. Generally this place does not attract the loud beer-guzzling Hammersmith Friday-night crowd, which is a plus (maybe that's because it's a veggie restaurant?) and they do good value for money lunch menu options. The decor is quite bright and warm, with smooth wooden tables and chairs - some people don't like this because of the lack of a 'private' feel, but for me it means that you know it's definitely very clean and they are not hiding dirt in any hidden-away dark corners.

This place really can be stunning.

When it first opened, it had huge plate glass windows and very bright lights and was always empty, despite the quality of the food - my mother-in-law, who's a cookery writer and an Indophile who LOVES it here, made it her personal crusade to get them to dim the lights and soften the atmosphere and post their rave review in Time Out in the window, which they eventually did, slightly amused and bemused.

Now they're deservedly busy. Because of the food. They still have things to learn about ambience.

Don't sit near the stairs, for instance. For as long as it's been open, that part of the restaurant has always smelled of amazingly acrid cleaning chemicals.

Puris for dessert are fabulous.

This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend and since then I have been many times in the past two years. Each time I have found the food delicious and the staff helpful. The food is made for sharing and we normally order two or three curries, some rice and naans and then eat to our stomach's content.

Sagar has to be one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to, and I've been to a fair old few! Sagar only serves vegetarian food, which as a committed carnivore made me initially a bit apprehensive about trying the place initially but after one trip I was converted and it's now a regular haunt. This is excellent food - well cooked, well seasoned and extremely tasty - and the price is right too. Try it out!
