I have just discovered that they were forced to close as the landlord increased the rent. After 33 years! Absolutely dreadful. So disappointing.

Unfortunately Sabras has closed! Very upsetting news. However, I will leave the review as testament to how good they were.
I have just joined a new foodie community site in London – Trusted Places. It’s a site where you review places you’ve been to, rate them, provide pics if you have any and connect with other foodies. So far, so good! I just reviewed one of my favourite curry houses there and I thought why not share it here also? Forgive the pic, I took it in a rush at the restaurant as I didn’t want to draw attention to myself! This is their sabras special curry – really superb.
Here’s the review:
Sabras
263 High Road
Willesden Green
London NW10
Sabras serves beautiful indian vegetarian food in the heartlands of Willesden, North West London.
Sabras is the best vegetarian indian I have been to. Beautiful food that is delicately cooked and beautifully presented at fantastic prices. The food critic Andy Hayler highly rates them & I couldn’t agree with him enough. We found Sabras through the Guardian Guide where it was given 10/10 for vegetarian food.
A husband and wife team have been running Sabras for 33 years. They cook Gujarati food, everything from dosas to currys. On arrival they will greet you with a plate of bhel poori on the house.
We have tried most things there, if it’s your first time I would recommend the dosa, mixed starter plate and the special curry.
Try it! It’s worth the trip. They also do takeaway (but not delivery) if you are in the area.

I love veg Indian and Curry foods!!!
Hi Harmonia,
If you are london based I couldn’t recommend Sabras enough. Beautiful veggie gujarati food. The only danger there is eating too much, it’s all so tasty.
A tragedy after all these years. The best vegetarian food in London now no more. Such a shame.
I know, such a shame. It really was superb! And since I’ve blogged about it I am really seeing how popular it was, alot of people find this page via search engines, almost daily.
[...] next to Gujarati Rasoi, a favourite. I am a big fan of Gujarati food, one of my favourite London restaurants, Sabras, was gujarati, but alas it was forced to close by rent increases. I indulged at Gujarati Rasoi in [...]
