Sitar Indian - Birmingham

Everything about this restaurant is fantastic— the service, the atmosphere, and of course, the food are just incredible! Don’t wait; go there today! Haha!

I have seen this restaurant in passing, but haven't stopped to try it. My coworkers mentioned it during a shift, so we ordered it for dinner. I've only had Indian food a couple of times prior, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Their menu is quite broad, and there was a variety of vegetarian options so deciding on just one entree was difficult. It was close to UAB/ Childen's Hospital, so the walk there was short. When we arrived the staff was very welcoming and greeted upon arrival. It was clean, and there was hand sanitizer available. The food smelled good. I ordered the Aloo Gobi(mild), and Garlic naan. The dish was filled to brim, and was enough for multiple meals, or people. The flavor was good, and everything was perfect. It was delicious. It did have more of a kick than I was expecting for mild, but overall it was good. Definitely will be trying again.

Solid value and tasty! While at UAB I stopped in several times and enjoyed a variety of dishes all of which I enjoyed.

I called in an order at Sitar for a couple of my friends and myself. I ordered an extra spicy order of paneer tikka masala and a bullet naan. When we walked in to pick it up, the employees were very kind and patient. The food was ready very quickly and still hot by the time we took it back home to eat it. The food was extra spicy just the way that I had asked for it to be and the naan was very soft and fluffy. They also included an order of rice with my entree which was also full to the brim of the container. Overall, I really enjoyed all of the food that I ordered.

I had high hopes as I have been here before. Needless to say, I was disappointed. The food was bland and the gravy for my CTM was unbelievably watery (see pic) and honestly tasted only of tomato paste. There was absolutely no flavor for the food and was beyond disappointing.
