Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5
1

Ask first. Ask whether extra sambar costs more before ordering; one diner was told additional sambar was chargeable.

2

Try Sundays. For broader North Indian choices, consider Sunday, when one review specifically praised the North Indian food.

The Bottom Line

Sangam is a South Indian vegetarian restaurant in Oud Metha that works especially well for breakfast, tiffins and thalis. The menu gives you familiar staples such as dosa, idli, pongal and vada, while reviews also point to veg biryani and North Indian dishes. Filter coffee is one of the clearest reasons regulars return.

The South Indian Thali is described as substantial, with curd, yoghurt and buttermilk served alongside the meal. Diners have also praised rava dosa, ghee roast, mini tiffin and vada dipped in rasam. Sunday is worth noting: the vegetarian breakfast buffet includes idli, vada, puri and uthappam, and one review mentions Jain sambar.

Service is often reported as quick, and paid parking is available outside the building. Experiences are not completely uniform. Some visitors found the food oily, portions smaller and prices higher than comparable restaurants, while another reported a soggy dosa, a broken cup and fewer chutneys on a second visit.

Cleanliness also deserves attention: reviews mention mosquitoes, flies, an unclean table and, separately, fermented coconut chutney. Check the table and bill before settling in, and ask about extra sambar if you want more.
