Holy moly was this place's service amazing. We did takeout and the meal was done EXACTLY when the person on the phone said it would be. When we were standing outside as we'd arrived a bit early, he noticed the dogs my partner and I had with us and got them both a specific water cup as it was hot outside. Food was amazing, fresh, and perfect for the picnic we set up a block away. Garlic naan was a highlight, I had the tika and wanted it spicy, it satisfied on every level. This is the kind of local place I love to eat at. read more

I love Sitar! The service is absolutely wonderful and the food is delicious. The ambiance is very similar to the Huntsville location. read more

Sitar Indian Cuisine - Indian Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Just went there today and all the signage is gone. Looks like a renovation is happening inside. They are closed. Not sure if they are coming back or another place is coming in read more

The atmosphere was very relaxing with nice music playing in the background. We were seated quickly by a very friendly host. We had the Onion Bhaji appetizer. The fritters were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. The Garlic Naan, rice, and Lamb Fraizee made a great main course for two. Our waiter, Sabino, took great care of us throughout our dinner. He was friendly and helpful in choosing menu items and made very good suggestions. The prices were very reasonable and the serving size was excellent. We highly recommend Sitar Indian Cuisine and will return often. read more

This was a Door Dash Delivered order. I placed an order for Naan and Chicken Makhani. The chicken was a mixture of light and dark meat. I would have preferred all light meat in this particular dish. The serving size was enough for 2 people and was tasty, albeit a bit more pronounced with the tomato flavors than spice. The meal came accompanied with an aluminum tin filled with [Jasmine] 'Jeera Rice', made with ghee [butter], broken cumin seeds and spices. The rice by itself was very good and moist. You can also choose your level of spice if you call Sitar after placing your delivery order, which is what I did with no miscommunication. We actually got 2 dinner meals out of the dish, and 2 more for lunch the next day, so it was worth it in value. The dish was $15.00 so for 2 people that is actually very reasonable. After ordering through DD, I called and put in the requests I desired, which were done exactly as I asked. This is always very much appreciated, especially when you have someone else sharing the dish with you. The meal arrived piping hot as well. Highly recommend! read more

We love Sitar!! Great service, great food. 2 year old granddaughter loved the music and the food read more

Relatively new to Chattanooga and tried this place in search of a new go to Indian restaurant. I ordered takeout and the online process was simple, food ready when expected. I had their chicken biryani and malai kofta. The biryani was pretty good, it could have been a little more flavorful. The chicken was excellent though. It's quite different than Hyderabadi style biryani which is what I'm used to, it's fairly mild as far as spicy level goes without asking for anything extra. The malai kofta was a little different than I'm used to as well, but still good. A good mild vegetarian dish if you're looking to try something a little different. There is ample seating room inside for dine in. Based on this one experience, I would recommend giving them a shot and plan to return myself. read more

Stopped in for lunch and was surprised the place was empty. Another couple did come right before we left. They have lunch specials and the full dinner menu available. My coworker and I ordered the tika masala lunch special. I did not realize it comes with a small bowl of soup and bowl of vegetable curry, garlic naan, plus rice and ice cream. (I skipped the ice cream). The portion sizes were plentiful and I could not finish it all. Everything was flavorful and delicious. I did notice that towards the end of my meal the food turned cold - it could be there was so much that I couldn't eat fast enough while it was warm. The garlic naan was phenomenal and I could have ate it by itself!! Yumminess!!! Good option for lunch. Would be nice if they had a lunch buffet to sample more options. read more

Food was outstanding. Excellent lunch for the money $12.00. Soup, Chicken Tiki, side of veggies, garlic Naan and ice cream. Reason for 4 stars is the dessert. Bad ingredients. High Fructose corn syrup and a secret Bio-engineered ingredient yuck. I wouldn't eat it. The servers were nice. The place was clean and comfortable. I'd eat here again for sure. You're missing out if you don't. read more

Lunch combos were very good and filling. Our 7 year olds loved it! We had the saag paneer, aloo Gobi, chicken tikka masala, and lamb curry. The service was excellent (very nice!). read more

AMAZING indian food. Definitely recommend the Dinner for two if you're hungry. The garlic naan is amazing. Service is ok, honestly I recommend doing takeout because it's kind of dark and cold inside and parking is expensive. Otherwise a great place to get food, though. read more

Traveling through Chattanooga when we got a hankering for Indian. Decided to try Sitar and see how it was. We had the chicken biryani and the lamb vindaloo. Of course, we had to get some regular and garlic naan as well! As for,those main dishes, both were quite good. The chicken biryani was tasteful and delicious. The vindaloo - ordered extra spicy - delivered. Not over the top hot but definitely delivered on spice! We loved them! However, to be honest, the naan was quite lackluster. Thin and the tasteless. Just didn't care for it. Oh, we'd definitely go back but would likely forego the naan. read more

Excellent service Scrumptious food The kids and the adults were happy We enjoyed butter chicken and tikka masala. It was incredible. read more

INCREDIBLE meal and the friendliest most attentive service you will find here in Chattanooga. Great value for money as well; I will probably get two additional meals out of the leftovers. I had been expecting much smaller portions for the price, but they don't make you sacrifice anywhere with this meal. read more

Food is very good, staff is very attentive and will help with any misunderstandings with the menu

The food was great and the service was excellent. Highly recommend! We can't wait to go back!

The food is excellent, and the service is also very good, However, they have not had a lunch buffet since Covid.

Food was pretty bad. No flavor. They need a new chef and owner. They don't seem to care about the quality. Seems the cooks are all Mexican which explains a lot. They didn't grow up eating Indian food and just don't understand the cuisine. read more

Every time I order food from here, I'm never disappointed! That, and they take food allergies pretty seriously -- I'm GF, and I've never gotten sick. They give generous portions for the price, and the food is very tasty. So far, I've had the chicken vindaloo, chicken tikka, and vegetable korma... all have exceeded my expectations. If you love Indian food, you need to try this place! Perfect level of spice as well, especially the chicken tikka. read more

I ordered delivery tonight and the food was sooo delicious! I ordered Chicken Methi Mushroom, veggie samosas and garlic naan...all of it is so so so good. read more

Omg soo good. Wish I ordered more naan but unbelievable food. No pictures because we ate it too fast. Lamb vindaloo. Palak paneer. Soo good

We were treated very rudely by a male server The restaurant was practically empty and because we had a person in a wheelchair with us they sat us in the back near an emergency exit We were giving very little time to read the menu And he was rushing us to order and after we finally ordered the appetizer and entrée came at the same time and he said please eat and leave. We barely started to eat when he brought the check and Togo boxes and to hurry because the manager had a big party booked and we couldn't be there. The food was good but it's soured by the intolerance of the staff and the managers disposition towards disabled people and women. We have never been back. And never will. read more

Mediocre Indian food. I know what great and good Indian food is and this place doesn't have that. Good naan. We ordered 4 vegetarian curry's and I wouldn't give anyone whose vegetarian this recommendation especially if u love indian or are new to trying it bc it might ruin "Indian" food for you. The service was good tho! read more

If you eat here, nevemind just don't eat here. I ordered a chicken Mughals and all I tasted was raw tomatoes and we ordered a dal tadka and the lentils were rawwww. Service was decent as they were nice, and the ambiance was really nice. DON'T EAT HERE!!!!! read more

For sure a favorite place to dine while I am in downtown Chattanooga! This visit I ordered my favorite (chicken tikka marsala and nan) but they were not offering dine in service due to staff shortages. That said the quality of the meal was not compromised! The portion was more than enough for one hungry person and the spice level was as ordered. My meal was ready on time and packaged for a traveler such as myself who is dining in a hotel room. Thanks for another great meal. read more

Food service are super , loved their food! Loved the tabdooori chicken with rice and Dhal , all was well prepared!

Wife and I went here for lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant was clean, and the service was great. So no complaints there. As for the food, we got some pakora for an appetizer and it was good. I enjoy the pakora that has just the chickpea dumplings (I think that's what it is). I got the chef's special multi platter. Everything there was great. Expect the soup was not my favorite. Wasn't bad. Just borderline. My wife always gets chana masala and she said there was room for improvement. It wasn't terrible or anything, but not her favorite. All in all we enjoyed it. read more

This place was okay. The food really only should have 3 stars but the service was 5 so I felt like giving it 4. The prices are about average for an indian restaurant. The food was not very note worthy but it was good. It wasn't the best Indian food and the portions were a little small. I felt like the main problem was there wasn't a lot of depth to the flavor. I've had some butter chicken that is bursting with different curries and fresh spices and I unfortunately didn't get that feeling from this place. I did enjoy our lentil crackers and onion salsa and mint chutney and felt like it was just as good as any restaurant but other than that there is not much to say about the restaurant. The staff was incredibly sweet and wanting to please. They did give us more crackers after we finished the ones we were served and they were very fast to refill our waters. Like I said the service was great. Unfortunately the food was just not that special. read more

Good Indian food, the best in Chattanooga, but not the best I have eaten. The owner is very friendly, and the place is clean... I prefer chicken and veggie dishes, not that big fan of their mutton dishes. If you decide to try Indian food in Chattanooga, Sitar is the place to go. read more

Amazing food good service and great variety. There is not anything bad about this place

I love everything I have ever eaten here! The staff is always friendly, and the service is great. My go-to Indian restaurant in Chattanooga.

My friends and I had the best experience at Sitar today. I had previously gotten a take out order and when I got home one of the dishes was left out of my order. I called and spoke to Lawrence about it. He assured me he would make it right at my next visit. Not only did he remember it a month later but he remembered my name. He made our visit truly a pleasure. The food was out of this world and both my friends couldn't stop raving about it. I give Lawrence two thumbs up as well as the restaurant. read more

The restaurant is tucked away on the corner of Market and Aquarium. If lost follow your nose as I did, the scent of herbs and spices was itself delicious. The restaurant is a cosy size and the staff is very friendly. I almost felt I was dining at a friend's. The food was perfectly cooked and presented. I had shrimp masala- some jumbo shrimp in a delightfully spicy sauce with a large portion of flakey basmati rice. And a yummy mango lassi and naan which was warm, buttery and delicious. A great eating experience all round! read more

It was pathetic experience... the way so called 'the responsible person' was talking to us was unbelievable we were group of 4 families and he was very rude and blunt not even trying to understand the problem and deal with politely on the contrary based on his pre-assumptions he concluded what type of group we were.... Seriously unbelievable the way he dealt will be unacceptable to any customer in this world. I will not recommend this restaurant for anyone!! read more

Great service and good food, not the best Indian I ever had but I have tried some around the world. The lamb my husband ordered was very good and tender and so was the naan bread. My Chicken Vindaloo was O.K. Good and cold beer. Reasonably priced. read more
