Ashwini Desai Raibagi
This was an accidental find as we were heading back to NJ. We had the Onam buffet…as recommended by the manager Mr Jeren Jacob. It was outstanding food- the goat curry and the payasam were the best we had eaten. The nans were hot and fresh… and the staff was very polite and had smiles as they served us. All in all, a great experience and totally worth repeating.

My first time at Sitar with my husband on a Saturday lunch buffet. Tried other places but this place was different, atmosphere, the server(s). Food was amazing. A lot of variety plus a nice salad bar. Naan, dessert pudding, delicious.

Ouch. Ordered biryani, fish curry and naan. The biryani looks like white biryani rice unevenly spiced, with dry chicken breast thrown in after the fact. Definitely not a traditionally prepared dish, and was frankly pretty inedible. The fish curry was also overly oily, and didn’t taste like any curry I’ve ever had. Overly salty/sour. The stir fried veggies were surprisingly extremely sour and also inedible. The naan and white rice became the majority of my meal. It’s possible these folks may know how to cook, but just aren’t trying very hard. I’d stay away unless they make some major changes in the kitchen.

This is my go-to for Indian. I love their buffet lunch, I get to experience dishes I have never tried, so this is great for anyone that wants to explore, venture and try things they have never tried. I love everything here, have never been disappointed by any dish. I especially love their goat, I think it’s curry style. Delicious! Service is always amazing, been coming here for years and will continue to do so. Almost forgot, their naan is the best, best, best!

This is one of my favorite restaurants ever! I love the food here. I’m vegan and I feel that there are many options for me, my partner and I usually get the Gobi Manchurian and Chana Masala with a side of 2 Pooris. SOOOO GOOD!! It is also very affordable and the portions are HUGE.
