Sage Vegetarian Cafe

This was one of my fav restaurants in Chapel Hill, but sadly we rode by today (9/9/23) and confirmed it has permanently closed ? they will be missed!

An absolutely amazing experience of wonderful food and drinks with great conversations with the owners. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

We had such a great experience. The food was fantastic and delicious. All I have to say is Go Eat Here!

Great vegetarian food, not somewhere I'd go out of my way for though

This is not only a great vegetarian cafe, this is one of the best restaurants if you really want great food! I have been a customer here for many years and when I am in town this is the first place I go. Ray and Connie make this place even better with their impeccable service and phenomenal cooking skills . If you are near Durham, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, this is close by and just delicious.

I went here with a friend because I heard it was a good restaurant from a lot of recommenders online, and I'm a vegetarian. The restaurant itself is pretty small (and so were the tables) but nothing unmanageable. While there was some ambiance (a few mirrors, christmas lights, some paintings, and a colored glow), it didn't really yell to me one specific theme.We ordered the Cari-bowl and a Vegetarian Lasagna.The Cari-bowl was quite delicious. The taste was all from the seasonings, because the vegetables tasted incredible (and let's be honest, by themselves they suck).The Vegetarian Lasagna was also pretty good, although it was too hot to eat. Not a bad thing, but we had to wait 10-15 min before digging in.The service was just average, nothing exceptional but not subpar.

I don’t think I can put into words how much I love this restaurant. I have been going here consistently now for eight years, and their food is always incredible!Even if you’re not a vegetarian/vegan, you will find something here to enjoy. This restaurant actually helped start me & my love on our vegan journey; we had no idea food without meat/dairy tasted this good until Sage!PS- They are a small restaurant, so yes, at times they will be busy. If you’re willing to wait for some excellent homemade vegetarian food, stay. It will be worth it, trust me.

Some of the best vegetarian/vegan food I’ve ever had — and some of the best food overall. Flavors are balanced and the dishes are well executed. Cozy atmosphere and fun, friendly service too. My plantains in particular were worth coming back for.

The Italian at this place is amazing!! We love the Caribe bowl too but strangely the Italian is even better than the Persian dishes here. The gnocchi stands out!

The food at Sage is always delicious! Very reliable and a great variety of options. My favorite dish is the gnocchi but I also love the veggie ka-bowl. Most items are vegetarian and can easily be made vegan.

Ray and his staff have been taking care of our Sage cravings for over 10 years now since we first discovered this awesome neighborhood restaurant in Timberlyne Shopping Center! The food is made to order, not massed produced, and it is delicious! We absolutely love it! Highly recommend!

Ray is a great chef and all around stellar human! I love the Special Cauliflower curry stew! I would love to taste more Safron in the rice! I will go again!

So glad we drove by and saw this place. Probably one of the best Vegetarian meals I have ever had. Would definitely stop by again when im in Chapel Hill
