" Having tried several Indian restaurants, I feel confident in saying Sitar holds its ground well. Their buffet allows for tasting a variety of dishes, and everything I tried was fresh and flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the butter chicken and the variety of vegetarian options. While not everything was as spicy as traditional Indian food, the quality and freshness made up for it. The service was prompt and friendly. Definitely a place I would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sitar has a nice ambiance, and the buffet selections were mostly enjoyable! I was excited to see the variety, although some items were not as flavorful as I had hoped. The desserts were a highlight, and Naz was a fantastic server who catered to us very well. Overall, a solid place to experience Indian cuisine, I may return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered Sitar and was really pleased with my experience. I appreciated the various vegetarian dishes available and the service was top-notch. However, I do think the food could improve on the authenticity side. Most dishes felt Americanized. Nonetheless, I loved their naan and will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sitar was a fun dining experience, rich with flavors and a friendly environment. I particularly enjoyed the vegan options offered on certain days. I think that they do a great job of catering to dietary needs while maintaining a tasty experience. The only downside was that some dishes could be a bit spicier. But all in all, I had a great time with my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed a lovely evening at Sitar last Friday. The buffet offered a wonderful variety for both vegans and meat lovers, which was impressive. Traditionally prepared dishes like chana masala were spot on! The staff members were all very welcoming, making my time enjoyable. I left feeling full and happy. Highly recommend!

" I was disappointed with my visit to Sitar. While the ambiance was lovely and the staff very hospitable, the food quality wasn't what I hoped for. Some of the dishes were bland, and it felt like they catered more towards American tastes instead of authentic Indian flavors. The samosas were a highlight, but most dishes fell flat for me. Maybe it was an off day, but I probably won't be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sitar Indian Cuisine is a fantastic place for anyone who enjoys Indian food. The buffet had an extensive range that included everything from rich curries to delightful desserts. I tried several dishes, and while I loved most of them, a couple felt a bit toned down in their spices. However, the overall quality was top-notch, and the staff was incredibly helpful. It is definitely a place I'll return to! " (*Curated Review*)
