So after 4 hours waiting for a delivery we went to bed. They wouldn’t answer the phone or messages and didn’t bother to get in touch. Apparently (according to my neighbour) the food did arrive 5.5 hours after ordering.

Now I understand most restaurants / takeaways will be extremely busy on New Years Eve, but from my view they let a lot of people down including myself. I placed an order and told a pick up time of 8.45. Upon arrival the restaurant was busy with a lot of angry customers (some who had waited over 2 hours in there for their food). No one greeted me or others, or asked who we were or what we had ordered. When I finally pulled someone I told them my order which was written down by them.. they then took over an hour to cook my food (and only started when I arrived) - as seemed the case for a lot of people there. Very frustrating esp when I wanted to get home and enjoy somewhat of what was left of New Year’s Eve. No apologies or no time of how long it would take.. just me sitting in there ... waiting.. it finally arrived and still no apology! Got home and part of it was wrong.. due to the time there was no way I was going back (believe they took the phone of the hook). I’ve been a customer for many years in the restaurant and takeaway.. oh and they overcharged me but at the time I just wanted food (would have been too late to order from elsewhere). I may be wrong, but don’t take so many orders that you cannot handle them, also be prepared and it’ll go smoothly! I felt for the chef, but management has let him down and the customers The only reason it’s gained a 2 star is the food! That’s saved it from a 1 star, (food spot on, service disgraceful). Because of this and no apology on line or on their FB page, I’ll be going elsewhere.

Really really disappointed by the quality of the dishes served in August. I have been to many Indian restaurants over the years, but never have I been served such bland food. Not sure the meat had even been cooked in the sauce .,, This meal was supposed to be a treat for my mother who hadn’t been out to a restaurant since lockdown (and was a little nervous), but the restaurant was crowded and noisy. The tables were far too close together (definitely not respecting the rules of social distancing) and one of the waiters actually pulled his mask down onto his chin to speak to customers! Customers were allowed to wait for their table inside the restaurant, even though the weather was warm and dry, meaning we had to squeeze past a group of people on our way out. Hmmm

Superb food but be prepared to wait especially if it is for delivery! 2 hours and 16mins is our longest wait which was a Saturday night. The restaurant is nice and relaxed and they serve a great selection of dishes Pity there’s no 6 star button

We had a takeaway from here before pandemic and we not to impressed after having some beautiful meals but thought we would try again in case it was a one off. Unfortunately we were unimpressed again bland food and really disappointing rice and lamb dupiazza was very unimpressive not good at all.

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.

Visited with Tracey and two of our friends. We have not eaten here for a good while and we were not disappointed. The staff are very welcoming and the special menu has great variety and is very good value. The food was first class and the variety on the menu provides for all tastes. Would recommend to all who visit Seaham and enjoy top class food.

I dropped in for a quick early meal.The poppadoms & pickles were good as usual. Starter of chicken chaat was good too. I ordered chicken tikka madras with cashew pillau & a paratha which I asked for thin & crispy, as I always get. The chicken wasn't tikka, but I could live with that ! The rice was nice, but the curry was extremely bland, just hot gravy. The paratha was over cooked though & was very black & burned, unlike they usually do it. I mentioned to the owner at the time, but I'm sure this is just a 1 off, as Sagar has been one of our favourite restaurants for many years & we'll be back for sure.

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!

Out for the day with my wife, it was early evening and we decided to eat out rather than return home - I suggested an Indian meal, she agreed. I headed straight for the restaurant I knew in Seaham however too early and over an hour until it opened - my wife then tells me there’s a 2nd Indian restaurant in Seaham, where she has visited with some of her friends. We arrived at their front door a couple of minutes later and they had just opened, in we went. A friendly welcome on entering and needless to say it was empty / what a lovely place, modern and bright. Good menu with a wide selection and we decided on starters with mains and share a naan bread. Service matched the welcome - the food was well presented with excellent and tasty choices. There was a steady stream of take-away customers and a few who were eating in - obviously a popular restaurant and I didn’t know it was there and also good value, not too expensive. Good choice and we will be back.

Woke up Sunday morning and I’ve never been off the toilet ♂️ cramps in my stomach pain I carnt explain I thought about what I’d eaten on Saturday and I’d only had this to eat all day so my advice is don’t get the tikka masala if you don’t want to be on the toilet all day

Very good indian restaurant in Seaham. Have been many times. The interior is smart and comfortable. We had the early evening menu which includes starter, main including rice and naan then coffee or ice cream. There is a very good choice of starters and main courses and you choose feom any rice or naan from the main menu for £13.95. The service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the food as usual.

We just popped in on spec without a booking & weren't too hungry, so just had poppadoms & pickles followed by mains. As usual, poppadoms & pickles were good, always plenty pickles & not those silly little portions you sometimes get. Mains of chicken shashlik & chicken Korai bot were excellent, with a nice thin paratha as I'd asked for. Great hospitality & service as usual.

To be honest, the two younger (20’s?) waiters were kind and provided good service but the older man who was the acting manager was a disgrace. He made it perfectly clear he objected to my wife being present in our family gathering with my 9 week old son, he would not talk to her directly and when my son dirtied his nappy and needed a change he made my wife and I feel extremely uncomfortable, loudly proclaiming that no, she couldn’t change his nappy in the toilets (no change station despite ample space for one) and that if she HAD to, she could change him in the draughty porch...at 9 weeks old..having just got over Bronchiolitis. He clearly has a 1950’s mentality or perhaps is just a plain old misogynist. In 2019 it’s a bit odd having to talk ON BEHALF of my wife to order her food because the restaurant manager won’t speak directly to her.

As usual the poppadoms & pickles are good. I challenged the owner to make a crispy bhindi bhajia & a Tikka Chicken Korai as good as his brother makes ! The gloves certainly came off !! Everything was excellent, including the thin paratha I requested. Portion sizes are good, loads of chicken in both dishes. A nice couple of pints of Kingfisher made it an excellent evening. Great service & hospitality. Sagar is definitely one of our favorites.

One of our favourites. Always a warm welcome & good service. We couldn't manage a starter so just had poppadoms & pickles, and there's always good portion sizes of pickles. My Wife regularly asks them for a veg badami, which isn't on the menu, but it's never an issue to them. My Madras curry was nice & tasty without being stupidly hot. Nice naan bread & a pint of Cobra made for a very enjoyable evening.

Poppadoms & pickles were good as usual. We both had chicken tikka starter, but not the one on the menu, the one reserved for Hariali chicken. I prefer the "normal" one, but my Wife preferred the "other" one ! I went for the vegetarian Thali, which was nice, but I think I prefer meat dishes ! A nice pint, good hospitality meant a pleasant evening for us.

My friend and I hadn't met up for ages and she arranged for us to dine here and catch up with each other. What a lovely place this is. The staff were impeccable in all aspects: friendly, smart and attentive. We decided just to order poppadoms and pickles to start - despite a having vast starter menu. Then we opted for a curry each - mine was a chicken tikka masala - my friend had chicken bhuna. We shared a vegetable rice. The main courses took a little longer to arrive than we anticipated but they were definitely well worth the wait (plus we had so much to talk about that the wait didn't bother us too much). I have dined in several Indian restaurants but I have to admit that the food in here is the best I have tasted. I will definitely be returning.

Having been to this restaurant once before in 2017 with my wife I was keen to revisit with a golf friend who loves Indian cuisine. We duly turned up after a day's golf in Castle Eden. After a warm welcome we were seated and awaited our pre starters. The lime pickle / chopped onion and mango popodum spinner was delicious. Our starters of tandoori shish kebab were lovely.

We like this place, the food is always consistently good. However, on this occasion, I'd say the Balti was different to usual, but actually better ! We struggled to eat everything we were completely stuffed ! I find the onion bhajias too big, i prefer them to be smaller or thinner and more crispy. Still tasted nice though. My wife had tikka chicken starter as a main as she can't manage the normal mains ! Nice pint of kingfisher topped it off.

This restaurant is literally the best Indian restaurant in the north east. The food is amazing, the staff are really friendly and always happy to help. There's an impressive menu and the do specials on a Thursday & Sunday nights which is great value for money. If you're unsure of what to eat then ask for recommendations- they will ask what types of things you like and make a recommendation based on that - I've asked a few times and Never been disappointed at all. Always book, the restaurant isn't huge and it does get very busy sometimes, they do takeaway too if you'd rather eat at home.

We’ve been to Asoka several times. We’ve never had a bad curry from Seaham Tandoori & the Harbour Tandoori isn’t bad either. Seaham now has another fully-fledged, excellent curry house with Sagar. Kingfisher on draught is always a winner. The place is generally half empty (similar to Midnight Moon), but based on the standard of food, it’s hard to pinpoint why. It’s not the biggest of restaurants and has the massive East Shore Village on its doorstep. We’d called in after a couple of drinks in the Crow’s Nest and it was around 7pm. Again, there were only 6 other diners. We’d opted for a main each and sides. I got the Thali which is a mix of several dishes. Along with a Lamb Tikka Chilli Masala, we had an excellent meal for 2. The staff are spot on and we’ll definitely be returning.

We first visited this restaurant about 18 months ago when we moved into the area and decided to try lots of other Indian restaurants too. However, having exhausted almost all that we can find we now return to Sagar at least twice per month. The food is the best we can find and you can tell the staff take a pride in it. The staff themselves are always professional and friendly but not over friendly as some can be whilst you eat.I can hand on heart say I've not had a single bad dish served here and will continue to visit regularly!!

Visited this restaurant for the first time last Saturday with my partner.Thought it was going to be just a typical Indian restaurant. How wrong was I! My starter was tikka paneer and it was absolutely delicious. I didnt want it to end. I could fo had that dish again as my main meal. My partner said the same about his starter as well.However we moved onto our mains which were again beautifully cooked and so tastey.They also had a take away service and they were inendated with customers coming to collect their order. Speaks for itself how good the food is and also the service was very polite and caring. I would definately reccommend this restaurant and will be going to collect my take away order next wkend!

This is only a small restaurant but has a great menu, prices are reasonable and the staff a brilliant. We've visited Sagar many times (not thought to leave a review before now sorry) it's great for a meal out as a couple, with friends or as a family we have been under all circumstances and honestly we've never had a bad meal or experience. The food is very tasty and the staff are happy to make recommendations if you're not sure what you want just tell them what you like. We've eaten in other Indian restaurants and paid more and come away pretty disappointed when comparing to Sagar!

Love this restaurant, the food is delicious and plenty to choose from. The service is very good and the guys always make you feel welcome and can't do enough for you. Also offers a takeaway service which is lovely when you fancy it at home.

Visited for a birthday celebration on a Monday evening. The restaurant was quite empty so service was great but the staff weren't overly attentive either. Ordered from the set menu and found this to be great value for money. I think with Ashoka not far away this restaurant could be overlooked as it is tucked out of the way a little on East Shore village but I found the quality and flavour of my meal to be of the same standard you would get at Ashoka. Our party very much enjoyed our meal and will be back soon.

Had a takeaway, which was a spur of the moment decision. I collected the food and the smell was amazing. I was really looking forward to my meal. Unfortunately there were only 4 pieces of chicken and lots of sauce. It was ok but I felt I'd been robbed, maybe I caught them on a bad night

Lovely little Indian restaurant on the eastern edge of Seaham. Our first visit and yes it was worth it! Small and intimate with great service and the food was fabulous. Starters were so tasty that I could have just eaten another! Good sized potions and everything well cooked and the presentation was top class. Staff were attentive without being pushy. We will definately return and next time take friends with us too. Really impressed.

Average food, I was rather disappointed. It's a local restaurant, so I will return to see. It was Christmas time when I visited, that may be why I just found it 'average'. Rice and curry was just too tasteless for me.

Tasty food, excellent service, excellent value for money. Portion sizes were good. We ordered from the set menu and the food was delicious with decent portions. Three courses, starter, main and ice cream/coffee for £12.95. Clean restaurant with tables set apart allowing for privacy. It was busy with a good atmosphere. Free ample parking outside the restaurant and located near the sea front. Worth a visit. We will definitely be returning very soon. All four of us really enjoyed the food.

We always get a decent meal here, the set menu is particularly good value. Whilst the onion bhajias are tasty, I find them undercooked for my taste, stodgy in the middle. My wife had a veg badami and I had chicken tikka curry that I forget the name of now, but both were excellent. For reasons I don't know, service was a bit slow, but quite a few takeaways seemed to be going out, so maybe that was why. A nice pint of draught kingfisher to go with it.

I recently visited Sagar and had a meal from the set menu, the food was lovely, lots of choices on the set menu. It's £12.95 for 3 courses between 5_7, even on a Saturday. The food is good quality and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this restaurant.

My husband and myself visited tonight for 1st time. Staff were fab, ambience was lovely. We both had 3 course special menu but only managed 1 1/2 courses. Staff even wrapped our left over mains to bring home as we were so stuffed. We both had bhuna prawns on puri starter which was tastiest we've ever had. I then had a chicken curry with mushroom rice and hubby had lamb roshuni with rice. Both dishes were beautiful. Like i say we brought the remainder home and couldnt manage dessert. Whole meal with 4 rounds of drinks for under £40.00 we will definitely be returning!!!

Ordered our takeaway on a Saturday night it came within 30 minutes it was hot and delicious. It is unusual for any takeaway to arrive on time and be hot but Mumbai managed this I had chicken takeaway masala with pilau rice and spicy chips i would recommend this takeaway/restaurant 😋 👌

The tired and run down decor is very off putting and makes you wonder if the kitchen is in the same state. However, the food was delicious and the complete opposite to how the place now looks. So disappointing as it was always a fabulous place to eat. The food arrived quickly but the rest of the service was poor, considering there were more than ample staff, who would rather stand and chat than bring any drinks.

Had a weekend in Durham and looked for an Indian prior to our visit, it didn’t disappoint, loved the visit, all four of us enjoyed an excellent meal, had great service from the whole team in a lovely place built into some ancient walls. Highly recommend!

Don’t know what’s changed but takeaway tonight was terrible. The nan bread was mushy and undercooked. The onions in the curry were raw! Never known it like this in the 25+ years we’ve been customers. Had it changed ownership?
