The lamb was tender and flavorful. The spinach sauce had a pleasant kick to it. The Basmati rice was fluffy and delicious. The naan bread was mouth watering.

I recently ordered from Sitar Indian Restaurant through Uber Eats delivery and loved it! I've…read morealways enjoyed Indian cuisine, so when I was deciding what to eat for lunch, I decided to give Sitar a try. Their Uber Eats page is well-formatted, with all menu items listed, accompanied by descriptions and pictures of most items. My only issue with their menu on the app is that the descriptions were not very clear about whether an item came with rice or if it had to be ordered on the side. My order arrived quickly and came in a large brown paper bag. I chose the butter chicken, and it came with basmati rice. They were packaged separately, with the chicken and sauce in a large plastic container and the white rice in a small styrofoam box. I like that they separated the two to let the customer have control over the chicken-to-rice ratio. Plastic cutlery was provided as well. My food was still hot when it arrived and was full of flavor. It tasted like a very good homemade meal instead of something made with low-quality ingredients and little effort put into it. The sauce on the chicken was very creamy and absolutely delicious! The serving size left me plenty of leftovers, and I was very satisfied.

Sitar Indian Restaurant is one of my favorite places to grab food near campus. The location is…read morereally convenient, especially on days when I'm running short on time. Sometimes I'll call ahead and just pick up my food, which makes it really easy between classes or a busy schedule. The restaurant itself has a casual atmosphere, which I enjoy because it feels relaxed and welcoming. The service has always been great whenever I go. The staff is friendly and the food usually comes out very quickly, whether I'm dining in or picking it up. My go to order is the chicken korma with butter naan, and it is honestly one of my favorite meals. The chicken korma is creamy, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with the naan. They also give a very generous portion of rice, which I always appreciate because it makes the meal even more filling! The only small downside is that parking can sometimes be difficult, but I usually end up finding street parking nearby. I recommend this spot for a warm, comfort meal!

It was very nicely decorated, and there were plenty of patrons on a Wednesday night. We ordered the Karaikudi chicken and Tandoori chicken. While we frequent Indian restaurants, we have never ordered either dish before. The meals were delivered quickly, but no utensils were provided. Our server was standing with her back turned to the dining room, playing with her phone. I had to get up and go over to get her attention to get napkins and utensils. The Karaikudi chicken was mild but good. The tandori was very undercooked, with the meat still being red/bloody next to the bones. I tried to get our server's attention, but she was still playing with her phone. No one came to the table to check on us until after the meal was done. Service was not good and the bone in chicken was not cooked properly, so I don't see us coming back.

Also, I will forever love them for their uncanny ability to ensure the best wrapped to-go food. It arrives hot each time and has no spillage. It does not matter what I order, it comes well packaged. I think when they first opened, the prices were a bit shocking compared to other South Asian establishments, but their portions are generous, and the care they put into packaging and temperature control makes it worth it to me. This time, I ordered the Garlic naan and the cheese garlic naan. One of the best naans I have had here locally. It was still hot and fresh, cooked just right and full of flavor. I also had the Saag Paneer, which I usually get regardless of whether I get something else. It was piping hot and still the same great quality each time I have ordered it. This time, I had the chicken Korma Curry with it, and it was delicious, per usual. The meat proteins are always so tender and perfectly cooked. Yes, I had to get my staple Samosa Chaat. It is probably one of my favorite comfort dishes. The only disappointment this time was that they did not have a mango lassi. I just wanted mango, but they had a sweet lassi that was delicious, so I was satisfied.

The food was very bland. Even though I ordered at a mild spice level, every other Indian restaurant I have been to have had flavor complexities other than spice. I could not finish my food it was so unappetizing. My party members ordered other items at medium spice levels and came to the same conclusion. The only "flavor" was the inherent taste of ingredients (lentils in Dal Tadka) or spice. Two of us who ordered butter chicken (one mild one medium) tasted each others order and found them to the same level of spice. The place was dead, and for good reason, the food is overpriced and service awful. There are far better options in Tuscaloosa for Indian food with much better service and much better tasting food (for lower prices).
