From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009

Venturing out for cheap Pakistani and Indian food in Jumeirah Beach Residence isn’t like heading out in Deira or Karama. JBR isn’t just at the opposite end of town – it’s right at the other end of the culinary spectrum.

That’s where Sukh Sagar comes in. There’s a long list of inexpensive southern Indian delights to sample and, unlike the backstreet diners, the setting is newer and equipped with air con.

You’ll find the menu full of curries, dahls and sweets, and the odd curry-influenced mainstream dish like pizza, sandwiches and salads. Pleasant enough are the aloo mutter tikki (lightly-fried, crushed potato with green peas and spices, served with a cooling mint dipand the chilli-cheese on toast.

The mains are slightly more impressive. The palak paneer (chunks of cottage cheese in a spicy spinach puree) is very pleasing, with a pleasant touch of chilli afterburn accompanying each mouthful. To finish off there’s a good selection of sweets to choose from, displayed in a glass cabinet.For a slightly more ramshackle but cheaper experience go to the Sukh Sagar in Bur Dubai. But if you live at the other end of town, the JBR branch will tame those curry urges.

Please do not go to this restuarant if you are willing to eat good food. The food here is very expensive and not for the Indian palate. There is no spice, no salt and nothing except worst food. The thai curry is really worst with watery green colour curry. The waiter said it is spicy but there is no sort of spice in it. No coconut milk, no basil, snowpea, brinjals . It is far from authentic thai curry. Pl take this dish off the menu. Dosa are dry and bitter. Kebab platter is very worst. No authentic indian taste. Go to this sukh sagar if your tougue is dead. I wish karama branch is better worth the money. I wish sukh sagar at beach should give everyone some money just to dine in there. I wish i got my 250 dhs back.... Once bitten twice shy... never go there

This is the only restaurant in Dubai where my husband and I go back again and again. The decor is mature and classy, the food is always fantastic, and the service is unbeatable. After our first meal we were impressed by the staff, then we walked in for a second time and our waiter immediately remembered the special Mock tail I ordered a month before! Management always checks on your satisfaction and the chef usually sends over CHOCOLATE Brownie on the house. You feel as if you are in a very high-end restaurant until the bill comes - best value in Dubai as far as I'm concerned.
Food is cooked in front of you. As an Indian I can witness all the products used with no exception is Indian 100%. The Management takes care of every smallest detail and make sure everything is just perfect. The value of the meal for it's bill its probably the best deal in town. I personally dine in sukh sagar at the beach at least 4 to 6 times a month when I am in town.

Very Expensive for an Indian Vegetarian Food. Water for 16 Dhs and each Roti for 8 Dhs. Any ambiance do not justify 8 TIMES prices for basic items. Plus they charge 10% Service Charge on all Items. So the Price of one Roti comes to 09 dhs and a Bottel of water is 18 Dhs.

Far too expensive for a restaraunt which does not serve alcholic drinks.

Service was also no way classy to justify the prices.

We went to Sukh Sagar and to be very honest our experience was very bad. The food was HORRIBLE. We ordered Kabab platter and the Paneer was very hard and after marination also it was tasteless. After that the Double decker sandwich had too much salt in it, also the Veg Thai Curry was the most horrible curry i have ever tasted in this world. It had no flavour of Thai, it was spinach and cream, no coconut milk, basil leaves nothing. We were sooo disappointed and ended up paying 150 Dhs for such a bad food.

Will never recommed that their International Cuisine, their Indian is good no doubt!

We had food at Sukh Sagar today hoping that it would keep up to its good reviews on the net. But to my disappointment, I was served food wih two big enough stones to injure my teeth!!!! The manager does not turn up till we ask the waiter to call him. Instead of apologising in a proper manner, the chef comes to me and says "What do you want me to do?" He also says that this has happened only twice in the last one year. Not something to be proud of. This was the limit. I would have expected a little more decency and professionalism on their part. In the end, I still pay for the food which should have been given complimentary. I would never ever go to that restuarent again or recommend it either. What a disaster!

We have eaten at both Sukh Sagar's a lot and it always provides really good modern Indian food that is so tasty. It is so nice to have great curry like this up this end of town, we live in Al Barsha and couldn't face the SZR car park to get to Karama on a week night and it is also nice to come here for lunch on the weekend and then go for a walk on the beach. The Dosa Tepanyaki is a great experience too, and we bring almost all of our overseas visitors to see how dosas and uttapams are made.
