If I could give a negative rating, I would. I had a very disappointing experience at this Indian sweet shop. The older man sitting near the entrance, who I believe may be the owner, had a terrible attitude. He was rude, disrespectful, and made customers feel unwelcome. The shop itself also appeared dirty and poorly maintained, which was concerning for a place that sells food. Good customer service and cleanliness are basic expectations, and unfortunately this place failed in both areas. I would not recommend this shop. read more

Decided to stop by and try out the local neighborhood Indian sweets shop! They ALSO have curry and Indian food. The sweets vary in flavor, texture and taste. I RANDOMLY selected a couple and there were all equally INCREDIBLE-- except the round ball one. Anyways, I defintely recommend y'all stop by and grab a golden box of their sweets! read more

Sagar Sweets Restaurant - Mixed Sweets - Indian Near Me - San Jose, California

If you are looking for a place with excellent/authentic Indian food, affordable prices (hello inflation), large portions, and don't mind taking your food to the nearest park or home. This is the place for you! A little hidden gem where you have to talk on the phone, ask for what you most want, pick up your food, and by the way, take the sweets that you most want to have a final sweet (the place has a variety of typical sweets where you can choose a bit of everything). I know the photos don't do the food much justice, but I was hungry and impatient to try the food. Yesterday I had: - Aloo Ticki (spiced, crisp potato patties. Topped with mint and tamarind sauce, onions, and cilantro). - Gobi Masala (cauliflower coated in a masala made with cumin, fennel, ginger, garlic, coriander, and secret seasoning. Garnished with cilantro). - Lamb Biryani read more

I was excited to try this spot based on the reviews. Unfortunately, they did not have the items I wanted and I settled for some chaat. The restaurant itself is pretty bare bones and set up for takeout now. Fair warning, it's not much to look at and can be a bit of a turn-off if you are not prepared. The dahi paapdi chaat was my favorite of the lot. They also have ready made Indian sweets and savories which you can peruse and buy. read more

The sweets are amazing. It's a small shop but they are very friendly and have some of the best ghee jalebis in the Bay Area

[REVIEW WRITTEN: 11/14/22] Reviews don't lie, but if you can get a general consensus before walking in and approach differently - you will be fine! This place is pretty darn tasty and has been here for 40+ years...this is for a reason! The Deets: + Only restaurant in the area + Plenty of street parking available + Samosas are pretty on point - no sauces needed & vegetarian! + Chicken & Jeera were tasty and not super greasy. + Got a couple of sweet treats (wish I asked the name of them) were solid! +/- Staff was not the happiest/friendliest, but take it with a grain of salt - FOOD is bomb. Give this place a try, it's a HIDDEN gem. read more

Super friendly and nice . Freshly made samosas were soooo good . I will be coming back

First time trying this place out due to my coworker telling me about it! It was just me and the owner and he was making the curries I ordered, so he was busy putting heart and soul into it. But I got to talk to him more as he got my samosas and sweets; he is such a sweet man! Rough and tough on the outside but on the inside is what counts. One order of vegetable samosa is two large pieces and it was good! I also got the box of mixed barfi, and chum chum. Finally the Desi ghee Jalebi was good. This place will be my future dinner takeouts. read more

Excellent sweets. Also many choices of fresh namkins . Good service. Shop keeper is friendly and courteous.

The samosas were absolutely delightful - crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful filling. The sweets were just as impressive, with the jalebi being perfectly crispy and the laddu having a great balance of sweetness and texture read more

I live in the neighborhood and the owner was rude. Kept telling me what I should order and not what I wanted to order. So No Thank You.

Food and sweets were really good. Would recommend to anyone in the area for a quick bite or sweets for an event/wedding. read more

Yikes. I have been trying my best to support local restaurants. But places like these make it extremely difficult. The portion sizes were a joke. The chaat was more like a few bites. It also looked like it was just thrown around without much care. There were bites of chilli and then there were a few bites of salt. The Mooli paratha - if you can call that, I didn't taste Mooli at all, it wasn't even rolled properly. Thick and lumpy in places and thin and burned in a few places. The yogurt on the side was sourrrrr!! I also ordered samosas - they tasted ok but were soggy. read more

There is no option for leaving a rating in minus else I would've. I've been getting samosas and jalebis from this place since March 2013 which is little more than a decade. The owner of this place was rude then and he's even more rude now. My wife inquired about the jalebis and the guy rudely told her they make lots of it everyday and she should not to be wasting his time by calling and asking. I went to pickup samosas and jalebis, the owner again made same comment with a tone and attitude. I looked at him once and then ignored. I am not going back to this place ever again. The quality of samosas were great initially but has degraded to lowest levels of taste now. Most of the samosas are burnt and have cracks with a bitter aftertaste. I would highly discourage anyone to go here if they want to stay healthy and not get sick. read more

Top notch jalebis! If you order through DoorDash it's priced per pound as are the sweet boxes. They don't customize sweet boxes over DoorDash but if you call and place the order they may be able to customize based on availability for the day. Best to converse in Punjabi if you call. read more

Sagar Sweets Restaurant - Jalebi and mixed mithai - Indian Near Me - San Jose, California

Found this hole in the wall place for Indian fast food and sweets and really like some of their menu items that I've tried so far - samosa, jalebi abd tea. They have Indian sweets and look yum but have not tried them yet. On my list for next time. Taking out a star as I think they could better with the interior upkeep. read more

Reminds me of home. You cannot get better North Indian style samosa and jalebi anywhere else here in the bay. They have a small old style store which reminds me of some places in India. The owner is very nice and keeps telling stories which is unique. Lately i have not been able to visit so I order online but the quality remains the same. Havent tried many things here but i do recommend their samosa with green and tamarind chutney! read more

Ok.... This only gets 4 stars because my gf likes the sweets here, I would give it 2-3 for the cleanliness alone or the lack of. I am not the biggest fan of the sweets but I am not a sweets person so this review is really from my gf. I would highly recommend cleaning the place up, some new paint and smile a little more. No one has ever been unfriendly but never friendly. read more

I went there at around 8 pm. There is an old man sitting inside next to door which i did not notice when i walked in. I was looking for staff to help me with the sweets. The old man yelled from the door and asked me what i want. I said, i was looking for sweets. He yelled back from door and what kind of sweets I want. After i looked at the sweets i felt they are not looking good and looks soggy. He was very rude which i never seen anywhere in US. I showed him a sweet and asked him the name of it. He started yelling at me angrily. He yelled again like not knowing the name of the sweet is my mistake. I couldn't take any more rudeness and started walking out and he started following me back by yelling at me for wasting his time. I said "bhand mae jhao" and left the place. The place doesn't at all look like the way it is shown in pictures. It's dark and unhygienic. read more

Food had the perfect amount of spice. Authentic Indian cuisine. Served at the perfect temperature. Also included a delicious sweet dessert. Excellent experience. read more

I been coming here for 1 years, samosa and sweets are awesome. Recommend calling ahead to place your order so you can get fresh items. read more

This was my first time here and I went to the counter and ordered one order of samosas...they did take my order but the owner came and told me to call ahead for the next time:) Apparently they make them fresh and it takes 35 mins to make a batch. The owner doesnt speak much English. I did end up getting my samosas. I saw they carry masala peanuts and I love those...so I got some of those as well... The peanuts are damn spicy but are worth it...the samosas are infact one of the tastiest I have ever tasted...the chutneys that came with the samosas are amazing.. The red sauce is sweet and the green sauce is made of green chillies and is not for someone who cant handle spice.. I am so glad I heard about this place and I did go in despite the shabby exteriors.. read more

Sagar Sweets Restaurant - Goddamn good samosas!! The green sauce packs a punch - Indian Near Me - San Jose, California

Wow! Never thought I would like a vegetarian Indian food. Walking in I wasn't impressed with the place. It looked very ethnic and too basic for me. But they made up for it big time. Food was awesome! I did not know that this place does exist within a mile from my house. awesome! "Santiago" was already there waiting when I got there. Anyways the place looks pretty much a no nonsense restaurant next to a mom n pops mini mart with an ATM machine. This restaurant is CASH ONLY. Food was all vegetarian. No meat at ll. I was afraid that it won't taste good. I'm glad I was proven wrong. Company looked happy too. Although we played with our food while we were eating I enjoyed lunch. I think the guy said that every Tuesday or was it Thursday that they have meat too? My bad...language barrier big time! read more

We decided to try this small place in San Jose for aloo tikki. Uncle there was very friendly to talk with, he made fresh tikki and samosa for us. Without a doubt, this was the best north indian samosa and aloo tikki I have had in bay area. The green chutney they serve with it is extra ordinary! The place is small and they prefer only take out orders. read more

Horrible experience! The elderly person just shouts at you if you order something that is not available. Lol And nothing is available at his place! If there was a way to complain I would definitely do it read more

Ordered Samosas for delivery, one Samosa was warm and the rest were cold, seemed suspicious. Inside the Samosas, the aloo masala had gone stale and tasted/smelled bad. We threw away the Samosas. I do not recommend ordering from this restaurant. read more

Not coming back! We were late on Diwali celebrations so we had some sweets delivered to our house. We got the MYSTERY SWEET BOX, PEDA BOX, MILK CAKE BOX, and the BARFI BOX. Everything tasted old and weird. We could not even gift them because they were almost inedible. Take your money elsewhere! read more

Delicious Indian desserts! I've had co-workers hook me on Indian desserts after bringing them from trips back home, and the sweets here definitely satiated that craving! Highly recommended! (And remember to bring cash!) read more

My wife just brought dinner last night from Sagar. Normally I am a middle of the road fan of Indian food, I do not seek it out but when presented I enjoy it. I can say after trying their chicken curry, veggie samosas and Jalebi for dessert, I would request this food on a regular basis. The curry had amazing flavor and texture with large chunks of tender chicken, the samosas with sweet chutney hit just the right of balance of spice in comparison to other Indian restaurants. The Jalebi I had never tried before, and it was delicious! I guess the proprietor has a rep for being grumpy but who cares when the food is this good. Hidden gem in San Jose, give it a try! read more

The best samosas in the bay area! Period! Had forgotten about this place until recently when I was searching for samosa and then came the eureka moment. God! how could I forget. The taste is consistent over the years and obviously super delicious. Do yourself a favor and try their samosas! read more

The make the best samosa. The owner has been at it for a while and is sometimes cranky but the food is excellent. The food is fresh and tasty. Place is a hole in the ground but very worth it. read more

My go to place for samosas in bay area. Great for sweets too. Recommend new Gud (jaggery) Barfi for low sugar option. Fun fact: If you didn't know, it's been around for 43 years! read more

Extremely terrible sweets, unsanitary place with dirty floors and counters. If you ask the owner any questions about the purchase you are trying to make, he explodes and yells at you to leave his store immediately. He even asked me which company do I work for and what is my status (judging my place in society) that I am asking him questions about the sweets he is selling. Do not go there. No customer deserves to be insulted. Its ironical that his own family members put a five star review here in the same month whenever they receive a bad rating. Use your judgment in analyzing reviews and avoid harming your physical as well as mental health by not going there. read more

Negative ratings for this place. The owner is very rude and does not know how to behave with customers. The restaurant looks very shady and dark. Never ever go there! Really frustrated with the service. Horrible experience. read more

Extremely warm owner, sat us down and we had fresh samosas, barfi, alu tikki and the best chai. Every bite was authentic, and even the chutney was bursting with flavor. We yelped and came in, this was our first time. The second visit was not as good, a very different experience, interesting, so updating the review. Best wishes to the restaurant, they have been in business over 40 years! read more

Great food, world-class samosa. Small establishment with limited menu (remember, it is the kitchen of a bakery) but what they do they do very well. read more

Very tasty samosas!!! For 20 samosas, $32.70, not a bad deal! Seems like a small family-run business. Call ahead of time to order larger orders for pickup. Uncle will want you to come on time! Would definitely come back for their samosas! read more

We've been coming here for years, but we were on a super health kick for a bit so when we came back, we were worried it might not be as good as we remembered. It absolutely was. This is the best Indian food we've ever had, bar none. We ordered the saag paneer, paneer makhani masala, navratan korma, and samosa chaat. The "taco truck" rule applies here - from the outside, this looks like a hole in the wall, but the curry and all of the sweets are amazing. (Note: we always call in orders and pick it up ourselves - don't use doordash.) Highly recommend. 10/10 every single time. read more

Great food and great service. The samosas and channai are really good at Sagar Sweets. Quick and easy. This place is great.

We wanted to get Indian sweet (desi ghee jalebi) from this place. But it was our worst customer experience while trying to buy from here. The front desk person was really rude and unprofessional. Also the sweets weren't not looking good and were soggy. The place doesn't at all look like the way it is shown in pictures and seemed unhygienic. Wouldn't recommend this place to others. read more
