Shiv Sagar Indian Restaurant

We went to this place shiv sagar the first day we moved to Houston. We thought we were going to Anand Bhavan when we landed at Shiv Sagar. The speciality of this place is its thali.

Time of Visit: Often(from 2008)
Style of Cusine: Indian
Location: South west freeway, Houston
Cost of dinner/Couple : Less than $50


Shiv sagar does not have a buffet, but as I said, the place has a wonderful thali costing around $7 per person. Instead of us being served , we can go up to the counter and order either thali/chat. In a few minutes, the food comes through the counter and we just have to collect it and choose a place to enjoy the food. Its more of a canteen style but it tastes good.

Usually the thali consists of rice, vegetable curry, rasam, kadi, sambar, phoolka roti,two vegetarian gravies, poppadam and keer. The kadi tastes spicy and overall the thali tastes good. The chat items are also tasty be it bhel puri, golgappas, dahi poori or phav baji. They also serve dosa,upma and idlis. Be careful though if you order chili baji as this is the authentic spicy (spicy hot by desi standards) chili with a spicy filling inside the baji and a tangy sauce to go with it. They also serve a variety of drinks such as lassi and chai to go with the chat items.

Verdict: Clean tasting light yet filling food at a very affordable price.
