Had a great meal of chicken Saag and Rogan Josh. Both were great. Nice portion size. Lots of vegetarian options also available. Alabama not usually what you think of for Indian food, so if you’re craving give Sitar of India in Tuscaloosa a try. Ate here probably 10 years ago and again last night as I was passing through. Still good after all these years.

One of the best restaurants in Tuscaloosa! Everything is made to order. Good for many diets. I trust that my food is correct even if I don’t check my to go bag before I leave. Food is seasoned beautifully. Portions are big enough to share or take home for later. I fluctuate between pescatarianism, vegetarianism and veganism and I can always eat here with many delicious options. ⚠️ WARNING⚠️ coming from someone with 7 different hot sauces in their cabinet….medium heat is enough.

Went here visiting my daughter at UA. The food was outstanding! I’m very picky, and you won’t be disappointed. There is a dish for everyone regardless of dietary restrictions or taste preferences. I can’t wait to go back on graduation weekend 5/5/23. Try the tomato soup & Garlic Nan to start.

We are from Texas. We were on our journey back from Georgia, on our way back home, when we stumbled upon this restaurant late at night. Even though it was close to closing, the service was great and the food was equally amazing. We will surely drop by if we travel that route again. God Bless!

You could not ask for more friendly waitstaff/service. However, if I was being completely truthful, I would have to say that the food is some of the worst Indian food I have ever eaten. It is the only restaurant of its offerings in Tuscaloosa, which is why I believe people visit/re-visit. It is akin to microwave Indian food. Sad but true.

Tandoori chicken on the lunch buffet was burnt and dry. Naan was hard, tasted like stale crackers. The indo-chinese dish (pepper chicken in a clear gravy) had no flavor and the texture/taste of the meat was awful.

We are from Texas (which is home to many authentic indian restaurants), and was on our way home from South Carolina. We stopped here and saw Sitar as the top rated Indian restaurant in this area, so we hoped to have a nice authentic Indian dinner after seeing the extensive menu and reviews. We regularly eat indian food and have tasted amazing dishes from several states. However, this place is a scam if you know the real taste of authentic Indian cuisine. The samosa had no moisture and was filled with a dry filling that lacked masala flavor, along with the flavorless wings. That was just the platter, we ordered their chicken curry which is the MOST popular dish on their menu, but it was just poorly cut chicken breasts with a bland soupy sauce. Keep in mind that we ordered for mild spice, this was nothing but water. Lastly, the paneer kadai shouldn’t even be called a kadai. We never saw a kadai that is masked as a SOUP. It is supposed to dry or semi-gravy type with lots of capsicum and soft paneer. This place is an absolute scam and had to be the worst Indian restaurant we ever ordered from in America. Please don’t be fooled by the detailed menu and appraising reviews.
