Sagar Indian - County Durham

We found the Sagar quite by accident and oh my! It serves the best Indian food I have ever tasted. Delicate, wonderful menu and wonderfully presented. The place is really cosy, the waiters are very attentive and polite. Without doubt the best Indian restaurant we have ever eater in.We made an excuse to go back the next week and it was simply wonderful again.

Our favourite restaurant however. When we got in the grip of this lockdown Sagar delivered restaurant quality food that was fantastic.However as the weeks have past the quality has dropped which is disappointing to say the least. Last weeks masala was tasteless however my meal was lovely.Tonight the main meal was quite nice but the rice was very watery. Come on Sagar you need to get the takeaway menu back to restaurant standards and your more than capable of doing this.It’s all about quality not quantity and keeping a good reputation.

We did not have high expectations after visiting a few of Seaham’s restaurants, but we were really surprised.A very nice and clean place with comfortable chairs and fresh white tablecloths.Friendly staff.An enormous menu og which we chose naan bread , raita, king prawns w mango, lamb and prawns tandoori.Everything was tasty and the indicated strength of the dishes was as expected.Highly reccommended.

New in the area and passionate about Indian food so needed to find a good local. First time here and we are more than impressed. Really friendly staff and good prices. Great menu on variety that catered for both our meat eaters and vegetarian/ vegans. WILL 100% BE COMING BACK.

Visited after a recommendation and I’m glad we did! The restaurant is well presented and modern, the staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The menu is extensive and varied with both ‘traditional’ dishes and contemporary ‘fusion’ options.We all went for the special set menu which we found covered all of our tastes. 1 vegetarian, 1 spice avoider, 1 medium dish fan and 1 heat lover.So the onions bhajis were crispy and delicious, the bhuna prawn on puri was had plenty of prawns and was tasty and cooked to perfection. My tikka chicken paneer was superb!Chicken korma was ‘the best one she’s ever had’ the hariali was ‘delicious’ the vegetable hariali was ‘absolutely lovely’ and my lamb balti was authentic and very good with lots of tender lamb pieces. The best I’ve had in a long time. Vegetable pilau and plain naans completed the feast and were delicious. All a credit to the kitchen. We will definitely return, it’s worth the half hour drive!
