We went here for dinner and the food was amazing and the service was also great. The owner and servers were all extremely friendly. We got the lasagna and gnocchi and it was very good. Totally recommend Sage, even if you are not a vegetarian.

I enjoyed visiting Sage at the old Chapel Hill location and was excited to see them reopen in Durham. The food is delicious, atmosphere is relaxing, and the service is top notch. We were even able to have an interesting conversation with the owner during our last visit. It can be hard to find a place that is conscientious about food allergies, and I am pleased to add this to my list.

The service here was amazing. My waiter, Aya, was very attentive and delivered excellent customer service. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and was absolutely delicious. I drove 1 hr away to eat here and it didn’t disappoint.

Sage was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was top notch. We tried the hummus and the falafel wrap - both items were delicious made with fresh ingredients. For dessert we tried the baklava with a warm cup of chai (a special item only available occasionally) and it was just what we needed on a cold wintry day!!! My favorite dessert however was the chocolate walnut cake. It was rich and incredible a hands down must try!! This place is a 10/10 we will def be back! Thanks Sage!!

I used to go to Sage all the time as a kid. I am so glad Sage has moved to Durham, where I now live. The food, service, and atmosphere have not changed one bit. I remember loving the creamy dill dressing as a kid, and now they even serve (and sell by the bottle!) a vegan version with tofu. I got the osh and an order of saka. Both were perfect. The osh brings back so many memories. The saffron rice is also just as good as I remember it!

Truly incredible food! We got the eggplant dish & the green one. Everything was so delicious but also nuanced, flavorful, fragrant & perfectly spiced - including our teas & the hot sauce. So impressed with this spot - wish I could eat here everyday. Our server was also super warm, kind & fun. This place rules.

What a lovely family owned restaurant! I loved the atmosphere, the dim lighting and spread out seating, which made us feel very comfortable. Lakshmi was an incredible host, attentive and very friendly. Needless to say the food was spectacular, not too heavy with plenty of options. As a vegan, I loved the added sides of tofu and tempe for some protein. Will definitely be back again soon :)

The service is good, the ambience decent. We tried a variety of dishes, and maybe this is just because I’m Persian, but I think that a home cook could make meals as delicious for a lower price. It was fine food, but it wasn’t anything unique.

This new location for Sage has such potential. It’s beautiful and welcoming, but still feels like the wonderful restaurant it was before. It was only the soft open, but the meals were refined and delicious. Thanks to Lakshmi for attentive service and a lovely experience!

I have spent the better part of three years missing Sage’s delicious food, so I was ecstatic when I heard they were reopening in Durham.

When my group arrived at Sage during their second week open, we found that we had outdated information and they were open for dinner and not lunch … which was inconvenient for us since it was noon. No sooner than we had decided to come back for dinner did Lakshmi open the door and invite us in to order.

She was kind enough to offer us anything from the menu, but we all went with the sprout salad and osh, probably because two of us have spent years talking about how much we missed those items from Sage. 🤣

The food was incredible, the space is beautiful, and the owners could not be more kind. We ate inside, but the outdoor patio was adorable and I’m sure we’ll have many fall dinners there. I am so grateful that Sage Vegetarian is now in Durham, and hope they’ll have be here forever!

Natural feeling environment, comfortable, nice artwork, decor, bright and calm. Food full of flavor traditional and comfort food. Basmati rice was light, fragrant and fluffy. Delicious. Mimosas were wonderful. Recommend trying this new Vegetarian restaurant with a lovely, friendly and helpful owner named Ray. We enjoyed our meal and visit.

My husband and I absolutely love Sage vegetarian! Their new location is beautiful and their food, as always, is incredible. It is always hard to find good vegetarian options when eating out, and this place never misses. Would highly recommend!
