" First time visiting Sitar and I was impressed! Although the atmosphere was quaint, the food was phenomenal. I tried the Lamb Rogan Josh and it was incredibly tender. The garlic naan was the perfect complement. The only hiccup was the slow service, but I’d still recommend it for the taste alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Sitar and it exceeded my expectations! The menu has a variety of options, and I loved trying some vegetarian dishes like the Malai Kofta and Paneer Butter Masala. Both were delicious, though my friend felt the portions were a bit small. The staff was welcoming and attentive, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. Can't wait to visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Sitar while visiting Birmingham and I have to say, it was a pleasant surprise! The flavors were authentic and rich, definitely reminding me of my travels in India. The restaurant's staff was warm and welcoming, ensuring our experience was enjoyable. The portion sizes were generous, which was a plus! I'll be coming back the next time I'm in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this place after hearing so many good things about it, but I had a mixed experience. The flavors were authentic, indeed, especially the Tandoori chicken. However, I found the service to be lacking on the day I visited, and my food took longer than expected. While I appreciate the quality, it still affects the overall enjoyment. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my first experience at an Indian restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised! The food was flavorful, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. I found my dish to be fulfilling. The only downside was my server declining to make adjustments to my dish, but overall, it was a good experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had quite high expectations coming into Sitar, given the reviews. The food was decent, but not as great as I expected. I had the Tikka Masala and found it overly sweet, lacking the depth I would like in such a staple dish. Service was great, though, and the place has a very inviting setup. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my visit after hearing such great things. Unfortunately, my experience was mixed. While I loved the Chicken Tikka Masala, the service was a bit slow, and I had to wait longer than expected for my order. The place was crowded, which might have contributed to this. Nevertheless, I would return again for the food. " (*Curated Review*)
