Reviewed by Daniel · El Albir resident since 2007 · Updated November 2026 · Write to meSarita is the Indian restaurant closest to the seafront promenade. It’s at the start of Avenida de l’Albir, with a terrace, and it’s the one many people stumble on as they walk up from the beach. Here’s what it offers, what people say about it and what’s worth knowing.
What Sarita is
It’s an Indian restaurant with a few international dishes. It has its own vegan menu, with rice dishes, biryani and pakora, and gluten-free options. It also does takeaway and is an easy place to go with children.
What you’ll find on the table
Sarita is a practical Indian: it’s a step from the promenade, cooks to order and has one of the best meat-free offers in town.
Biryani. It’s a one-pot dish of rice cooked with spices, meat or vegetables and sometimes nuts, all together in the same pot. For anyone arriving hungry who doesn’t want fuss, it’s the most complete option: rice, protein and spices on one plate.
Curry and rice. The classic way to eat at an Indian is to order several curries to share, with basmati rice and naan bread, and let everyone try them. You mop up the sauce with the bread.
Eating without meat. Indian cooking is one of the best at handling vegetables, lentils and chickpeas, and Sarita has its own vegan menu. If someone at your table is vegan or vegetarian, they won’t be stuck with the side dishes here.
If you arrive hungry. Pakora to share, a biryani or a curry each and a naan to share. If you’re coming from the beach in the late afternoon, remember the kitchen closes between lunch and dinner.
What to order
The chicken curries. They’re what’s mentioned most in reviews.
Biryani. A good one-dish meal if you’re hungry.
Pakora. To get started and share.
The vegan menu. If you don’t eat meat, here you have real choice without settling for a side dish.
Several reviews point out that the food is made to order and that the staff help you choose if you don’t know Indian food.
How much it costs
The usual spend is between €20 and €30 per person (approximate price). The menu is described as good value for money.
Location, opening hours and bookings
It’s at Avenida de l’Albir, 11, a few steps from the promenade. It’s open from 13:00 to 16:00 and from 18:00 to 23:00. The closing day isn’t clear in public sources, so confirm before you go by calling 631 291 098.
What the ratings say
On Google it averages around 4.4 out of 5 from more than 900 reviews, and 8.2 out of 10 on TheFork. What comes up most is the freshness of the food, the variety of dishes and the friendliness of the staff. Some say it’s the best Indian they’ve tried.
Where it falls short
Mixed reviews after a change. A few 2025 reviews talk about the “new Sarita” and come away disappointed. It seems the place has had recent changes; most later reviews are good, but it’s worth knowing.

Local’s tips
It’s a good stop after the beach, because it’s on your way. If you’re in a group with someone vegan, this is one of the Indians where you eat best without meat. And in summer, ask for the terrace.
