What is Sangeetha?
Sangeetha is a Chennai-founded vegetarian restaurant chain with a long track record in Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui, where it has been a stalwart of both the Indian and vegetarian dining scenes for years. According to Foodie's August 2026 new-openings roundup, the brand has now opened a second Hong Kong branch — its first on Hong Kong Island — in Central, bringing its stellar North and South Indian recipes across the harbour.
The Central branch had already drawn soft-opening queues by the time it was reported, a sign of pent-up demand for a proper South Indian vegetarian kitchen on Hong Kong Island, where options remain thin outside a handful of long-standing curry houses.
Sangeetha Vegetarian Restaurant (Central)
This is Sangeetha's second Hong Kong branch, joining its long-running Tsim Sha Tsui outlet, and its first foothold on Hong Kong Island. The Centre's location directly above Central MTR station makes it an easy lunch stop for office workers in the Central business district.
What should you order at Sangeetha Central?
Start with the masala dosa (HK$90), the chain's paper-thin, crisp rice-and-lentil crepe stuffed with a spiced potato filling — a South Indian classic and the dish to judge any dosa kitchen by. Pair it with idly (HK$55), soft steamed rice cakes, and vada (HK$55), savoury lentil doughnuts, for the full South Indian breakfast-and-lunch trio.
Beyond the dosa counter, expect a broader menu of North and South Indian vegetarian dishes spanning curries, rice plates and thalis, all built around Sangeetha's decades of Chennai-honed recipes. For readers exploring Hong Kong's wider Indian food scene, this joins the city's growing roster of dedicated vegetarian and South Asian kitchens.
Where is Sangeetha Central and how do you get there?
Sangeetha Central sits at Shop 5A, 1st floor, The Centre, 99 Queen's Road Central, one of Central's tallest office towers, directly connected to Central MTR Station (Exit C). Being inside The Centre makes it a straightforward, weatherproof stop for anyone working in or visiting the Central business district, with no long walk required from the station.
