" Sitar is my family's favorite spot for Indian food! Recently, we celebrated a special occasion there, and I must say the service was outstanding. The wait staff presented us with complimentary appetizers and made sure our drinks were always filled. The lamb vindaloo was perfectly spiced and the palak paneer had a wonderful creamy texture. For dessert, the mango lassi was refreshing! I'm already planning our next outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Sitar felt like a journey through Indian culinary traditions. Each dish I tried seemed to be made with the utmost care, especially the paneer tikka. However, the service lagged a bit when we arrived during a busy time. Despite that, I noticed great teamwork from the staff as they hustled around. I'm excited to go back and explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sitar is a gem in New Haven! I had dinner with friends last Saturday, and we enjoyed every moment. The ambiance is great, with interesting decor that creates a cozy yet stylish atmosphere. The server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I loved the thali platter—it allowed me to try a variety of dishes, all of which were a hit! Don't forget to save room for dessert; the gulab jamun was heavenly. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for vegetarian options, Sitar should be at the top of your list. The variety is fantastic, and the flavors are authentic. My favorite is the baingan bharta paired with garlic naan. The environment is relaxed and the staff are very accommodating. I must go back to try out some of their new specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had a dinner date at Sitar, and it was delightful. The dishes are not only visually appealing but also full of flavors. The lamb rogan josh was the best I've had, and my partner enjoyed the vegetable korma. The service was prompt and considerate. I would highly recommend Sitar for a romantic night out or a casual dinner with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sitar has become our local go-to for Indian cuisine. Over the years, we’ve tried numerous dishes and have never been let down. The quality is consistently high, which is rare these days. I love their lassi, and I always order the chicken korma. The children’s selection is generous too, making it perfect for family outings. Strongly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is fantastic! I had the thali platter, and it was a smart choice. It allows you to try a bit of everything, and I honestly enjoyed every item. The flavors are vibrant, and I could taste the authenticity. The server was polite and took time to explain the menu. I look forward to bringing friends here next time! " (*Curated Review*)
