What people say, in short
Sagar is recommended across its London outlets for South Indian food, including Covent Garden. Dosa and thali appear in the recommendations, and one diner also praises the chilli paneer. Leicester Square and Percy Street each have an explicit supporter. Commenters describe the brand as good value, but a dissenting diner is unimpressed with the South Indian food. Experiences are not identical at every outlet.
