" I ordered takeout from Sitar, and though the food was decent, I felt the flavors were a bit muted compared to last time I tried-house. The butter chicken was good but not outstanding. Luckily, the naan was delightful. I think next time I should eat at the restaurant for a better experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience! I visited Sitar with my family, and we all left satisfied. The menu is extensive, and everything we tried was delicious—from the appetizers to the main course. The ambiance is refined yet family-friendly. I appreciated that the staff checked in on us without being intrusive. Definitely a place worth visiting if you enjoy Indian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my colleagues to Sitar for a team lunch, and I have to say it was a hit! We opted for the buffet, which had a wide range of options—everything from spicy curries to refreshing salads. The food was full of flavor and worth every penny. The staff was fantastic, making sure our plates were never empty and that we were well taken care of. We had such a great time that we are already planning our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" It's been a while since my last visit to Sitar, and I was really excited to return! The renovations are beautiful and the place has a friendly vibe. I ordered the butter chicken and garlic naan, both of which were delicious. However, I feel like the portion sizes were a bit smaller than I remember. The service was quick but could have been a bit more attentive. Overall, a pleasant experience and I will certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" As an Indian food lover, I can say Sitar is among the top places in Connecticut for authentic Indian cuisine. I come here often for lunch and love their chaat and biryani. One thing I appreciate is the staff’s flexibility in adjusting spice levels according to my preference. The only downside I experienced was that it gets rather crowded during lunch hours, which can slow service a bit. " (*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*)
