" I took my family out for dinner last night at Sitar. The environment was warm and inviting. However, we had a long wait for our food, which was a bit frustrating. When it finally came, the garlic naan was on point, but my lamb korma was a tad bland. I was hoping for something more exciting flavor-wise. Service was friendly but could use a bit of improvement in terms of timing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sitar used to be one of my favorites, but recently, the quality seems to have declined. The curry lacked the complexity of flavors, and it was surprisingly bland. Service was good, but I hope they can return to their former glory. I might give them one more chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Sitar to try the lunch buffet and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food! Everything was fresh and well-prepared. The vegetarian options were just as delicious as the meat dishes. I had a good experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I've tried Sitar, the experience has been fantastic! The food tastes authentic, and the buffet line is always bustling with fresh options. Their butter chicken is my personal favorite, along with the fragrant basmati rice. The service is quick and friendly, making it feel like a dining experience you'll remember. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Sitar is a hidden gem! I stumbled upon this place while looking for a quick bite, and I've already planned my next visit. The biryani was flavorful and every dish was fresh. What really stood out was their service; they were attentive without being overbearing. Great place to enjoy a casual meal or celebrate a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was okay, but not what I expected based on the reviews I had read. The buffet lacked variety and the flavors weren’t as authentic as I had hoped. The butter chicken was sweet rather than savory, which disappointed me. The service was good, but the food just didn’t resonate with me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Sitar after hearing so much buzz, and I wanted to love it, but the spice level was way toned down. Also, the food was average at best. I wanted to share my love for Indian cuisine with my friends, but I felt like it was not authentically representative. Service was great though; our servers were lovely. " (*Curated Review*)
