Sukh Sagar - The Ocean Of Culinary Delights

As the name suggests, SukhSagar has been making customers happy for many many years with their exceptional and tasty vegetarian food.I always enjoy a nice tasty north indian meal and I was really looking forward to this one.So, turns out that show cases happen during Thursdays and for people like me who work till 10pm, this is always a no no.Although, this particular week, I happened to be off work and what better opportunity than to be part of the lovely evening.

I arrived at SukhSagar, Kilpauk to be greeted by a whole bunch of lovely people.Our hosts for the evening were Vinay and Vishnu and I should say, what a pleasing personality these two have!!We were immediately escorted to our looooong table and offered an amazingly refreshing Water Melon juice to beat the heat!!Wah, what a refersher that was.

Soon after the juice, we were given a choice of soups to pick from - Manchow,Cream of Mushroom or Noodle soup. I picked the Manchow soup.I'm not a big soup fan so after a quick taste, I generously gave away my soup to my hungry fellow foodie.. :) The soup was good but slightly too salty for my taste.

Manchow Soup


Moving on to the starters, we had a wide variety of items.Some of which disappeared even before I could click a picture.. :)

Tandoori starters
- Corn sheekh kebab - This was super yummy and moist.Disappeared in a jiffy.



- Channa se bhara khumb - Channa stuffed in Mushroom.Not a big fan of mushrooms so I did not try this one.Heard from others that this was good too.

- Achari Paneer tikka - This was one of the best starters.Soft,juicy paneer in a perfect blend of spices.Loved it!!



Next in line were the chinese starters.Unlike out most Indianised Chinese dishes, our starters were tasty and crispy.We tried the chilly paneer and Veg Crispy.True to the name, both the dishes were good.

Chat items were next on the menu.We were offered Bhel Puri, Dahi Puri and Pani Puri.The Dahi Puri and Pani puri reminded me of the time I went to Bombay just to try out their street food.The Bhel Puri was good but slightly soggy.I like it with a little bit of bite in it.. :D



If you're already tired of reading, beware!!There's more to come.From up north, we went straight down south.Next to try was Idli and Sambhar Vada.The Sambar Vada was good and tasty.The Idlis were super soft and melt in the mouth.More along the texture of Rava Idli.We also had a taste of their grilled sandwich.The best part of this sandwich was the caramalised onions and the crispy grilled layer.





 By this time, we were all  stuffed and ready for desserts when our kind hosts come back to tell us that there was more to come.Wow, our main course was yet to make it to the table.So, after some chitter chatter and making some more space in our tummy, we were all geared up for the main course.Out came all our waiters with trays of rotis,naans and a variety of gravies.The rotis were hot and soft.The mushroom gravy and paneer butter masala were very very good.We also had a taste of their vegetable biryani which was well cooked with long grains of rice and nicely cut vegetables.We were still not done, the heroes of the table arrived - Chola Batura and Pav Bhaji.Inspite of being stuffed, these two dishes literally disappeared.And we were finally done!!





Good food , fun and laughter will always leave you asking for more but not today.Not one more grain of rice could've entered my mouth. :) but alas, there's always space for dessert.That's another part of the stomach isn't it?? ;)We had a wide variety of desserts - Ice cream, Falooda, Gadbad and what not!!! All the desserts were good and wholesome.


On the whole, it was a fun evening with loads of talking, laughter and photography!!The food was the hero of the day and nothing like being welcome by a smile and being served by some amazingly courteous guys.

SukhSagar - Definitely the ocean of culinary delights and keeping customers delighted.Worth the visit!!!
