Very delicious! We told the waiter we were vegan and he was able to tell us everything on the menu that was vegan. That was great! Then when he asked how spicy we wanted it my wife said she wanted ot as spicy as they make it, and in an effort to not be out done, I said the same thing. Boy was that a mistake. It was still delicious, but it was intense. Luckily they kept the water coming.
The best Indian restaurant in Knoxville, Tennessee. It is highly recommended, and this is the place to go if you love curry, vindaloo, and any Indian cuisine. The food was excellent and good pair with Tai Mahal.The staffs were so friendly and worked really hard. They also do a lunch buffet! So you can try the buffet-style for lunch if you have never had Indian food before. That way you can try a lot of Indian food!
I want to thank Sitar for trusting me when I asked for heat in their food. I am cursed with a mayonnaise is spicy name. But the people at Sitar trusted me and I am forever grateful. I've gone to them for years and the food has always been exceptional. No matter your spice tolerance, the food is amazing and done with care. Tonight I asked them to make it extra hot for me as I've gotten used to how some of my Indian friends and others have cooked. I told them I wouldn't complain if it was too hot. They delivered. While spicy, the food was still flavorful and we'll made and happily eaten. The part where spicy replaces flavor is a sad normal at many places, but Sitar did it well. While I could handle more heat, they did deliver a delicious meal with plenty of heat. I have no complaints as they balanced heat with flavor well. The people working at Sitar know how to do it well and that's why they continue to be my preferred Indian restaurant in the area. I will keep going and keep asking for their amazing food.
Don't let the exterior put you off. The food was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. The interior was comfortable and furnished nicely. The Desi chicken was very very much enjoyed by two family members. I had Chicken Korma and it was just as I like it, not sweet. I ordered vegetable pakora as a starter and though it came slightly over cooked, it was still quite good. Helpings are generous.
We went for buffet lunch and it was delicious!! Great selection at great prices. Staff was attentive & took good care of us. And of course the food was great.
The food here gets eaten so quickly that dishes on the buffet line are constantly having to be replenished. The manager brought out a complimentary mango lassi smoothie after I pointed out one of their serving utensils had fallen into the curry. Everything tasted amazing and the wait staff revolves around you as a customer. Nice vibes, a quality, family-owned business.

The food is very fresh and very delicious. I don't normally like buffets but this is very clean, the food comes out very quickly and fresh, and there are people waiting very patiently to refill your glass or get you anything you need. It's a little more than fast food for lunch but absolutely worth the money, in my opinion.
Try the cardamom tea!
We picked up take out yesterday, the entire meal was delicious, as always! I really want to recognize how careful the entire staff was in following CDC guidance - especially during the current spike in infection rate. Thank you!
