What to Avoid (6)

Food 6

  1. Bhature Net −1
    “Bhature came home like pappad. When called and complained about it, the manager was just not willing to accept it and kept arguing . Super poor customer service !”
  2. Jodhpuri khichdi Net −1
    “I have ordered dal baati churma, dal tadka, rajma, jodhpuri khichdi, ras malai... And each and every item delicious!”
  3. Khichdi Net −1
    “The khichdi was also really tasteless...”
  4. Panipuri plate Net −1
    “Very shocking to see the restaurant ambience ,which is situated in such a posh place like JLT. Tasteless thali and very unhygienic place and food. We found a hair in the sandwich and an insect in the panipuri plate. Washroom basin had no water supply and very dirty washroom. Service of waiters is quick but the hotel needs a lot of improvement in terms of hygiene and food taste.”
  5. Rajma Net −1
    “1 time there was too much oil with semi cooked rajma.. And the other time stale rajma..”
  6. Soya chaap Net −1
    “Next was Soya Chaap. Looks can be deceiving as it definitely looked like grilled chicken. But bite into it and you’re back into reality. It is prepared using cooked soya that is mashed, mixed with spices and the grilled. I didn’t enjoy this dish as I’m not at all fond of soya, atleast not on its own.”

Common Concerns

Snack Quality

One review found the samosas stale, double-fried and excessively oily, so fried snacks may need checking on arrival.

Delivery Damage

A delivery review said the bhature arrived extremely flattened and compared them to a pappad.

The Bottom Line

Sagar Ratna is a small vegetarian restaurant in Jumeirah Lake Towers specialising in Rajasthani and North Indian comfort food. The main draw is the thali: reviewers mention Marwari and North Indian versions with dal, sabzi, rice, roti and accompaniments, while the Marwari option brings the restaurant’s signature regional character. Dal baati churma, pyaz kachori and paneer tikka masala are other well-reviewed choices.

The food is often described as authentic, filling and close to home-style cooking. One diner particularly liked the whole wheat roti, while others mentioned gatta curry, kulfi, lassi and chaat. Some thali reviewers also found most items refillable, though the selection may be limited.

The setting is casual and compact, with indoor and outdoor seating and, according to one review, views towards the lake and surrounding towers. There are clear inconsistencies worth knowing about. Recent reviews praise the food and service, but others report stale, oily samosas, bhature arriving flattened in delivery, and serious hygiene problems including a hair in a sandwich and an insect in a panipuri plate.

Check fried items when they arrive, and consider dining in if presentation matters. Service has also occasionally felt difficult to follow up after ordering.
