The food at Sagarmatha is dangerously delicious. You will have cravings, and I think it's only fair you know that walking in. They offer Napalese and Indian dishes, which means that the flavour profiles are a bit different than your typical Indian restaurant. I find their curries a bit more mild with a slight sweetness to them, while still offering full, bold flavour. Positives: -delicious food and best-I've-ever-had naan -very reasonable prices -great value -authentic Opportunities: -service can be slooow, especially when they're busy because it's just a couple running the whole show (from what I can tell from 10+ visits) -restaurant decor is very eclectic My recommendation is to dine in on weekday days Order takeout on week-ends, and order at least an hour or more in advance of when you want or need your food. I normally would give this restaurant 3 starts, but because the food and value are so great, I'm giving them a bonus star. read more

Since the pandemic we find ourselves ordering delivery more than visiting the restaurant but the food is just as good. We love to get combos and try lots of things. I love the green sauce everything here is always fresh, flavorful and delicious. I love the chicken tikka and masala's, paneer, garlic naan and combos. Uber Eats delivery service is good and food arrives hot. Last time we dined in the decor and service was great. read more

Their combo meals were a little bit on the expensive side being priced at over $19 per person. The butter chicken also came out a little bit too sweet for some of us. There was a decent number of diners present when we dined in on a rainy Thursday evening. What did not sit well with me was their menu pricing was different from what you were charged at the machine. This was true for the seafood combo I ordered. I went with fish which is about a dollar cheaper compared to the shrimp. When I went to pay, I noticed that I have been charged the more expensive item for their seafood combo. I brought it up with the server and she initially mentioned that it was due to tax being applied. I argued again and explained clearly that it cannot be due to the tax and that I was clearly charged the higher rate. After some more arguing and back and forth which was accentuated more due to the problem with communication from their end, she then just mentioned that the seafood combo was just priced that way with the machine. I still did not accept this reasoning but decided to pay for the higher-priced false advertising seeing that the conversation was just going nowhere. read more

This place is a hidden gem. It was a bit hard to find but the food was very good and well worth the visit. I had the vindaloo curry which was very spicy but so, so good. It's up there with the best curries I've had. And the naan was perfect - fluffy and soft and just chewy enough. I will make a point to come back any time I'm in the area. read more

[Review based on my experience weeks ago] My friend and I were venturing around the Hamilton area and wanted to get burgers nearby but was told that the wait would have been an hour long so we decided to go elsewhere. We chose this place because we saw through the windows that there were plenty of space and I had a sudden craving for Indian food. We were seated right away but the employees were really busy. We had to catch their attention to order. From thereon, it was a waiting game. It took more than 30 mins for the food to come out but we weren't complaining. Once it came out, I was so ready to eat. The presentations of all these dishes were amazing, I could tell that we may have over-ordered for two people (3 dishes with 2 side naan). Out of the chicken tikka masala, dhal makgni and butter chicken, I found the butter chicken the BEST and my friend also agreed with me. The garlic naan was probably one of my favorite parts of this whole experience. I started regretting ordering it right after because I felt that it was a bit too pricey for naan but that was probably the best naan I have ever had. The garlic added such a strong flavor to it, in a good way, that I wish we ordered more haha. My friend has never had Indian food in Canada and thankfully she was content with her experience. I would love to come back here if in the area! read more

Sagarmatha Curry Palace - Indian Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

Went to visit Sagarmatha for our anniversary and we were a little surprised to be the only people in the restaurant. That feeling didn't last long - more showed a little later and we were more than likely the first people to show at 6pm. Food: it was good! Looked great, well-cooked and flavourful! We enjoyed the vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala, aloo gobi, garlic naan, and vegetable makhani. All tasted great, spicy and were all well presented. Definitely worth going. read more

I love their butter chicken; a little sweet with depth of flavor. I've tried butter chicken from many places in the GTA and this is my favorite. read more

Food was excellent and authentic taste. We took Butter Chicken and Sabji Vindaloo along with Garlic Naan and Aloo Naan. All dishes were at par and quantity was very generous. Their service is a bit slow but worth the wait! Must try!! read more

Go here for a yummy and inexpensive Indian meal. I went with a group of four. We ordered four dishes, some Naan and rice and it all came to about $70. We had leftovers and were stuffed from the meal. The food was really solid. Chicken vindaloo was very spicy but tasty. Palaak paneer was nice and creamy. Fish masala was a bit bland and mostly tomato sauce. The rice portions are large. This is a great place for a small group and a casual meal. It's not fancy and even a tad grungy, so don't go here for a romantic date. This would also be a great take-out option because of the cheap and plentiful dishes. read more

Big portion of pakora appetizer and nan bread. The thali's were standard sized. Servers were nice, it was cool temp inside and we wore our coats while eating. Flavour was bland 3/10 with the butter chicken tasting like it was cooked in tomato soup. Spice was not happening. totally wanted to try this place based on positive reviews. Sadly I should have read all the reviews more thoroughly as others have given similar feedback previously. So I Update on leftovers: after a few glasses of wine the next day, and little else in the fridge, the leftovers tasted great cold. Perhaps my earlier review was as a bit harsh? Both were honest, but only one included alcohol read more

One of my favourite Indian places ever. I leave every time thinking about when Ill return. Ive had their curries and biryani and the different naans (love the potato naan!). The only criticism is that food can take a while to come. Otherwise, nothing but good things to say! read more

Had placed an order on Doordash and had ordered Chicken Biryani and Rasmalai. Best biryani ever! And the quantity was also good. If lasted me 2 days. The rasmalai didnt seem like the frozen ones. It was fresh and not very very sweet. It was perfect. Definitely ordering with them more read more

Amazing food. Everything was fresh and delicious. Lentil soup was very tasty. Tandoori seafood was very good, little salty though. Lassi was very good. Good and polite customer service. read more

The Disclaimer of all Disclaimers: Delivery is going to take at least an hour. I have been ordering here for years, and this is always the case. When you taste it, you'll know why - everything is THAT fresh. So order accordingly, and don't whine about it because now you know. I always get their butter chicken combo, and it's more than enough food for two meals (making for a delicious and envy-inspiring work lunch the next day). Thick, rich, creamy, generous with the chicken, though slightly sweeter than your typical butter chicken (yet somehow not a bad thing). The naan is chewy in all the right ways, and their huge samosas are crammed with filling. read more

I cannot believe I don't have a review for Sagarmatha. I've been here since high school days of '12 and I believe it was called something else back then. The interior is slightly sketchy as you have to walk downstairs into a basement like setting with a clearly empty and abandoned room across from the entrance. Upstairs is nothing. There's a small staircase going upward but you can see it leads to nothing. When you get downstairs it is always 100% dark. There's several servers that provide service and they're very easy going. There's a huge menu to choose from. I love love love the butter chicken with naan and rice. For $30 (2 servings of each) fills me and the SO right up with extra left overs for the next day. I've recently tried their chana masala and will def be reordering. The food is freshly made so there's a 20-30 minute wait. So be prepared to wait!!! The butter chicken is soo creamy with huge chunks of chicken. The naan is crispy in some parts but doughy in others and I love it like that. The rice is very well flavoured but wish they provided more per serving. I come here at least once a week and have become a regular in the past couple of months (after being on a hiatus when I went to uni). This is definitely a hidden gem on King Williams. Tip: they close for an hour between 4-5. read more

Delicious and affordable! I love eating here. The food has always been good and is freshly made. This time we had palak paneer, coconut curry lamb and garlic naan. This is also a veggie-friendly place. The service is very prompt and friendly, definitely family run. It's a nice place to go with a medium size group, too, but if you have a large group call ahead for a reservation and they'll suggest a menu for you and have everything ready at the right time. Don't let a limited drink selection and a slightly odd shared entrance keep you away, the food is great! Also good for takeout. read more

Sagarmatha Curry Palace - Coconut curry lamb, palak paneer, double order of garlic naan - Indian Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

It was last Friday I and my friends looking for an indian restaurant to have dinner. We didn't know what to expect. We'd never been to Hamilton before, but we didn't want to eat at any expensive chain of restaurant. We wanted something amazing. On the outside, it wasn't particularly striking. The sandwich board listed the dinner specials, but it didn't do justice to what lay below. We searched on internet and found a restaurant named "Sagarmatha"Upon entering we found ourselves in a small place. It was clearly decorated. It had a very Indian/Himalayan look to it. It was neat and clean. The tables were well maintained, though it's apparent it's a very small operation. We were greeted very well and took a table toward the back. We were brought menus and a jug of water. It raised our expectations. If we're getting a jug of water, it's probably going to be spicy! The menu had lots of choices, and even combos so we got confused. The staff over there helped us a lot to choose better dishes. The combos are a great deal. A perfect portion. . The food takes a while to come out, but it's completely worth the wait. The food was as amazingly delicious as it was, the 5 stars would .The stars are given for the food alone. I had a Fish tikka Combo. The fish was seasoned to perfection. The rice was light and complemented the fish beautifully. The pakora was delicious - first time trying. Also The Chilly chicken wow... it was spicy! But oh so damn friggin' delicious! The Naan was prepared well and with the chana masalaa, tasted delicious. I too ordered a Himalaya platter it included shrimp,chicken tikka ,malai tikka,sher kabab lamb ,shree kabab chicken and fish tikka it was outstanding .The food was too tasty that we praised the food in all our way to home.I normally don't get dessert, but I was blown away. I ordered Ras Malai just thinking about it is making me drool over my keyboard. It was so soft and moist - excellent, consistent texture. The milky syrup was sweet but not overly. Just a perfect way to end the meal. My husband ordered the Chicken Tikka combo. Similar food on the plate but different preparation for the chicken. He too was in foodie heaven. He made an mistake. He ate his all food first and he forgot have the taste of salad along with food.I told him after, you should've eaten the salad with Chnaa masala. For dessert he got a Mango Lassi. I'm normally not a fan of mango but I tried a couple of sips. It was fantastic. Very nice texture. He clearly enjoyed himself. Even a month later, he is still talking about it. I strongly recommended this place to visit and by sure you will become regular customer there. read more

I opted for delivery because it was approaching their closing time. I ordered the lamb vindaloo, naan, mango pickle and papadam. All delicious. The vindaloo was spicy as vindaloo should be (ginger spicy, not suicidal spicy). The naan didn't taste fresh, but perhaps because it was due the lapse of time between ordering and arriving. The papadam was crisp. I wasn't too sure about the mango pickle. A bit heavy for the delicate papadam. Perhaps a carrot pickle offering would be more appropriate? Bonus: they threw in one tamarind and one mint chutney at no extra charge. **** Because I could have enjoyed two more cubes of lamb (light on the lamb), and because of the heaviness of the mango pickle. I'm not going to judge the naan due to the reason mentioned above. read more

Had a great time at Sagarmatha! We enjoyed everything on the table and the service was friendly and helpful read more

Probably the best onion bhaji I've ever tasted, served with two nice sauces, one a tamarind sauce, the other a yogurt cilantro sauce. The thali plate with butter chicken was delicious and generous, although the sauce with the butter chicken was a little sweeter than what I'm used to. A very generous basket of naan bread accompanied the meal. read more

We had dinner here last night based on Yelp reviews. While most of the food was good, I felt they nickel and dimed you for everything. Rice isn't included with any of the entrees, and no substitutions were allowed...they just weren't very service oriented. Worse, it was approx -7 degrees C outside, and the heat didn't seem to be working. We ate dinner in coats and scarves, and complaints regarding the frigid temperatures were completely ignored. We ordered samosas for an appetizer and the combo meal (non-vegetarian). It included butter chicken, naan, chick peas, a small salad, a piece of papadam, basmati rice and a sample (1 ball of gulab jalum ) of dessert. The butter chicken was okay, but seemed to have more of a tomato flavor than I'm used to. The samosas and paratha were the items I enjoyed the most. I probably wouldn't return! read more

I have been looking for a tasty Indian restaurant since moving back from Edmonton to the Hamilton area about 1 year ago - yes it has taken me 1 year to finally find a decent Indian place! I can finally say that Sagarmatha is now one of my go to's! My fiance and I ordered from here and he went to pick it up. Everything was really fresh and hot when he arrived, and it was done quickly! The restaurant itself is in an interesting area - below Baltimore House, but there is a sign out front in order to be able to locate it. We ordered the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, two orders of rice, and two orders of garlic naan bread. Honestly, we could have done with one naan and one rice order - so much food! Oops! Made for yummy leftovers though. The prices are definitely worth it for the amount of food you receive. Both of our dishes had the right amount of spice, right amount of creamy sauce, and tasted so good. I am always pleased when there is a good meat to sauce ratio - especially for take out! The rice was fluffy and had great flavour - no crispy, crunchy rice here! Our naan bread was soft and seasoned just right - I could eat that stuff all day. Overall, we will definitely be returning to Sagarmatha - my late night Indian craving will kick in and I am glad to know I can order up quickly from here! Keep up the great work! read more

This is by far the best Indian food I've had in hamilton. Actually some of the best food I've had in hamilton period. Easy to miss as it's in the basement of another resteraunt (weird I know.) but the food is crazy good! Get the tika masala with a side order of garlic naan if your a professional. read more

Came here on Supercrawl for dinner before heading out and checking out the fest. Large group: 12 people in total. This review has precisely two good points. 1. They had lots of space for us. 2. Their service was quick. Ok a third point: their naan was good. We ordered 9 curries between us. Taka tak curry, roghan josh, karahi chicken and karahi lamb, as well as matar paneer, chole and bhaigan bartha. The curries were too sweet, the karahi and roghan josh curries have tomato where they shouldn't. Not enough meat. Dissapointing experience, to be very honest. This was my first time and had been meaning to check the place out cuz my friends had been here many times before. I guess the place is decent for groups and is probably the most decent place for Indian food in the downtown, but honestly if you can drive a little, go to India Village (Dundas). read more

The food was terrible. At least certainly not good Indian food. The vegetarian offering was specially bad.

I'm in Hamilton for a few weeks, and thought I would try out an Indian place. The reviews seemed good, so it felt like a pretty safe bet. I had placed the order online, and asked for some simple adjustments - not to add butter to the breads, not to add sugar to their dishes (after seeing another reviewer complain about that), and to make the dishes more spicy. The order arrived 30 minutes late, I wasn't even able to track it via DoorDash. I tried calling the number to get an idea and got no response. And worst of all - each dish had sugar added to it despite me explicitly mentioning it in the order. The dishes were both bland without any spice, and there was butter on all the breads I had ordered. This place is far from authentic, they can't even cater to simple requests. Will not be trying again, and definitely would not recommend to anyone else. read more

I love Sagarmatha Curry Palace. I took my mom, who has never tried Indian food, last week and she was so impressed! On busier nights, there can sometimes be a bit of a wait for your food, but it's definitely worth it! The service is great, and the waiters are always very kind. I like the atmosphere, as well, although it may be difficult to find the restaurant if you don't know where to look. Overall, 5/5, great food, good service, sometimes a bit of a wait. Thanks! read more

Yummmmm - this is definitely my favorite Indian restaurant in Hamilton! This is a medium-sized restaurant located below Baltimore house, and although the ambiance is a little lacking and the furniture is austere, the food is really really good! We came here on a Friday night at 630 and it was about half full, so reservations aren't necessary. I ordered the takatak masala (fish tikka masala) for $10.50 and my friend ordered the murgh tikka (tandoori chicken) for $10.75. We shared a garlic naan between us ($3.25). The food was delicious and had a wonderful blend of spices and flavouring. I love Indian food, and I was definitely not disappointed. The only thing was the food took a really long time to come out - about 50 min. Would definitely recommend the takatak masala! Overall, we had a great experience here and the food did not disappointment. Will definitely be back to try more things on the menu! read more

So yummy! As others have said, be prepared to wait for your food but what you do get will be worth it. Service is always super friendly. read more

Sagarmatha Curry Palace - Non-Veg Dinner Special Thali w/ Lamb Korma (11.99) Chilli Chicken (11.50) Pulao Rice (2.75) - Indian Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

So I ended up having lunch at this restaurant, and I ordered some extra food (biryani) for takeout. Once I got home, I opened it up to receive a foul stench; the biryani had gone bad. I called the restaurant to report this and the owner/manager initially tried shifting the blame onto me saying that I had somehow screwed up from my commute from the restaurant to my home (citing the sub-zero temperature as a reason for it to go bad). However, I explained to him that I had taken the food from the restaurant to a warm car, and to my house. And that a 30 min commute wasn't enough to make "fresh" biryani go bad. He kept insisting that they always use fresh ingredients, and throw out old food. Still denying that they could somehow be at fault. In the end, another member of the staff apologized and offered me a free biryani on my next visit. Not worth the risk of food poisoning. read more

Local delivery driver, former Nepalese Restaurant employee. Order: Saag(Spinach) Chicken, Rice, Naan Very good food (I may be biased), reasonable price, LARGE chunks of chicken, they even cut up your naan Have not dined in but observations=chill & ambient. Nepalese-Indian food off the mountain, look no further! read more

Such a great experience here. The service was great, our table ordered a varied selection from the menu, and everything was delicious. Reasonably priced, and plenty left over to take home. Would highly recommend! read more

DELICIOUS!!! Ordered 6 diff plates and each one of them was great. Including the basket of diff Bread.

Delivery was said to be in an hour, but took an hour and a half (which was a little disappointing, but not terrible). The veggie samosas and naan I ordered were tasty, and the veggie korma had good flavor too. My biggest disappointment was that I didn't receive rice with my order. Probably my fault for not looking at the menu first, but most Indian restaurants include rice with the meal (especially when ordering something saucy like korma). read more

My sister and I are visiting Hamilton from Indiana for her birthday weekend and stopped here for dinner. We didn't want to get too full so we decided to split the butter chicken with some naan and rice. Probably the best curry I've ever had (I've tried lots!) and the portions of everything were perfect for the both of us. Couldn't recommend this place enough. I've never written a yelp review before this, but it was literally so good I had to. Super sad we don't live here but we're gonna try to sneak in one more trip before we leave. read more

After seeing the 4 star review here, we gave it a shot. Mistake. We went on a Saturday night and waited over ONE HOUR for our meal to arrive!! I really wished we had just got up and left. Not even an apology or free meal / appetizer for a NEW Customer. When it arrived it was cold and really tasteless. We eat regularly in all the best Indian restaurants in Brampton and TO. This place is plain AWFUL. From Service to food quality. Don't waste your time or money. Stay away! read more

I'm giving them 2 stars for past great visits. But this last visit I was appalled by how long they made us wait for our food. We were all there by 6:45 placed our orders by 6:55. Our food apparently wasn't ready till 7:45, at which point we took it to go as we had a show to see. They offered the barest apologies and didn't even offer us a cut in price or did anything to retain us as customers. Needless to say we won't be returning for a long time read more

While the food is good, delivery is terrible. I called right when they opened and placed an order, 2 hours later I still hadn't seen any food. When I called to complain they told me there were really busy and it would be another 30minutes (note I called when they opened). I tried to cancel my order but they told me the driver already left. I asked for a discount for late delivery and they refused. I live a 10 minute drive away, the driver showed up 15 minutes after my call. I won't be ordering again. read more

First time and absolutely loved it!! Fish tikka combo was great value and a perfect meal!
