I have ordered food there for more than four years. One day fairly recently I placed an order for delivery and once I Opened it to eat it, I realized that the order was wrong and was not at all appealing. I called them back to complain and they came back to refund my money but would not replace my order. So, I decide to give them another shot and placed an order for carry-out. When I arrived I said I was there to pick up my order and paid for it. A woman walked out with my food, saw who I was and refused service to me. She approached me and said "we will not serve you" but did not elaborate - I was kinda stunned and confused and had to ask for my money back. Aminute later I re-entered the restaurant with my camera rolling to get some sort of record of what had just happened and was forcefully pushed out the door (before I had even opened it completely) by a man who said "we don't serve Arabs" - I asked him to keep his hands off of me but he kept at it (this is all on camera, by the way, which was shown to the police later on when this story gets much worse) I leave to go back to work and after work return home. I am having a few friends over for a relaxing night smoking some hookah. Next thing we know this car pulls up in our driveway and six or so guys get out of a car (including the son of the owner of Sitara) and began a fight with me. They smashes the hookah (which was brand new, by the way) and began attacking us by throwing beer bottles, etc. This chaos caused my dog to run away, for the record. We found him eventually, but still.. So my roommate goes out looks for the dog and apparently one of these guys has stayed behind and hidden in my backyard, once my roommate was gone he came out from the backyard and threw a retaining wall stone at me. Naturally I had to get the police involved, with CSI photographing the damage done to my property and all of my injuries. I also noticed that my wallet, watch and cell phone was missing after they had left. Roughly 10 minutes after the police left my house, that same group of people (plus an extra couple of people) showed up AGAIN - I walked outside and told them I had already called the police again and that they were on their way back at which point they hopped in their car and took off. The police are actively working the case and say they will put a detective on it. I will be seeking retribution from Sitara through all legal means possible. So in closing, I could not recommend Sitara strongly enough if your goal is be physically assaulted and followed back home to have your property destroyed, make your dog run away, and leave you terrified in your own home, all because you wanted to get some lunch. read more

This place is great. Every Christmas eve we bring this home for an authentic Indian feast. The portions are also incredible because the whole family gets 2 or 3 meals from an order of 60ish bucks. We always order 2 chicken Masada, 4 Naan, aloo palak, and a lamb vindaloo extra spicy. This place does not disappoint. read more

Indian food -- and good Indian food at that -- has often been a little pricey for its value in Utah. My guess is because it's a niche cuisine for the predominant culture. Sitara dances past the common belly-undulating schtick and goes right for delectable, authentic-tasting Indian food at a terrific price. The real deal here is the buffet, where there are always new and fresh dishes every day, it seems, depending on the season. For $8 or so you will get largely vegetarian dishes, but a couple chicken or lamb masalas or curries from which you can also choose. Wrap it all up in na'an bread served fresh and hot to your table. There's a menu, too, from which you can order, whether for your full meal or for extras not on the buffet -- like a potato or meat stuffed bread paratha, samosa dumplings, or a mango lassi to drink. (That said, the buffet is well rounded, delicious, filling, and tremendous quality for the price.) Location could be a bit better, and it's not uncommon for lunch to be very busy. (It's an amazing choice for a Sunday lunch.) That said, it is WONDERFUL to see a restaurant is this area of Ogden that seems to be staying busy and doing well. Thanks to the owners for reclaiming and creating a destination in this previously depressing strip mall. read more

Oh, this was painful. I mean actual pain. My gut was extremely displeased shortly after eating here. Unfortunately, I decided to give the buffet a shot so that I could try several of their dishes. Everything was terribly overcooked, some things that should have had a crunchy breading were mushier than snow cones on a hot summer's day. The naan was fairly decent at least and the prices were pretty good. But my stomach forbids me to ever visit this place again. I'll make the drive down to Kathmandu or India House next time time I crave Indian food. read more

The food is delicious, the dining room is cramped and dismal, and the service and wait times for food are appalling. Lunch buffet is hit-and-miss. After too many bad dine-in experiences, this is strictly a carry out place for me. But--be prepared to wait a while for that too--plan accordingly. If you want a good dine-in Indian experience and/ or a consistently good lunch buffet, Bombay Bites in Riverdale is MUCH better. read more

My husband and I took our son to see a movie the day people started quarantining themselves (back when it took a minute to realize how serious this COVID business was) and the restaurant was almost empty. The staff was friendly and so kind about us having a slightly impatient 3 year old. Because we were starting to feel uncertain about being out and about and were considering leaving, the waitress/hostess kindly brought my son a free mango coconut drink and told us we could take our time and they would keep everything extra sanitary. We were so impressed with her. The food itself was alright (I got a Chicken Vindaloo, and my husband something similar) but it's the kind of Indian I think I could make at home. I wanted something more akin to Tandoori Oven or Taste of India. read more

Lamb biryani is good ! I wish pick up orders wouldn't take an hour to be done though... read more

I do not dole out five-star reviews lightly. Weekend lunch buffet for six bucks?! The service is fast and friendly, the lamb korma is to die for, and the chicken tikka masala dosa is fantastic. I wish I had taken a picture of my Dosa before I destroyed it, although it's fair to say we destroyed each other. Unlike every other curry place I've been to in Utah, when you order it "hot," they assume you mean it. They don't use that word lightly, either. They will season to your order, though. Default on the buffet is medium. I find any excuse to visit Sitara. Go therefore and do thou likewise. read more

Sitara India - Chicken Lahori Tikka (?) - Indian Near Me - Ogden, Utah

I've been here a couple of times and it keeps getting better and better each time. I've only been for the lunch buffet. There is usually a chicken curry dish, white rice, lemon rice, a couple of veggie dishes, and naan. The flavors are dot on, if you want some spice added you can request some hot sauce. Price if good for what you get and the staff has always been good. Give it a try and set what you think. read more

Just about the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Food was average and just about what you'd expect for an Indian restaurant in the ghetto of Ogden. But did I mention yet that the customer service was terrible? The worst. Stick with Taste of India. read more

Generally, the food is OK. It's fresh, tasty and somewhat authentic, however the lassis are less than authentic. My sweet lassi today was nothing more than milk blended with a little bit of yogurt and sugar to yield a frothy drink. Not a real lassi. It seems like only a few Indian restaurants have real ones. read more

Orders online which was convenient. I do wish they offered a larger heat scale. Most of the menu items seemed only to come in medium and spicy. It would be really nice if there was a mild option. The basic flavors are there, but the flavor profile is rather shallow. I ordered an entree for each of my party of three to go and am quite disappointed that upon arrive ing to our hotel we found that the rice was placed into two go boxes, one single serving size and one large go box with two servings. It has made it difficult to divide among the three of us. read more

This is the best service ever!! So friendly to us and everyone that came through the door. The food is amazing too. We will be back!! read more

Sitara India - Best Indian food in Ogden. - Indian Near Me - Ogden, Utah

This was my first time trying Indian food and I loved it! We got chicken saag and garlic naan and it was all to die for. Our server was a bit new and so sweet and patient with us while we were being indecisive about what to get. I'm definitely coming back for more read more

This review pretty much comes right down to service and location presentation. The buffet trays were practically empty with a good portion of the food spilled on the counter and floor the entire hour we spent in the restaurant. They didn't seem to tend the area often enough. Now for the good stuff: The food ordered off of the menu tasted great and there was plenty of it. The wait times were fine and beverages were refilled quickly. They offer several levels of spice and when they say very hot/spicy they mean it. I love a good food sweat! All meals are very reasonably priced. I'd recommend this place for a quick easy meal ordered off of the menu. read more

You may wait awhile but for me it's great Butter Chicken my favorite. Waiting for the day they move in to a larger establishment, they would do well wherever they go. read more

Absolutely delicious! My partner and I order the spinach & onion pakora every time we go and it never disappoints! So glad this restaurant is in Ogden. Great veggie meals and grade A naan. Definitely check it out! read more

The food delivered to me in north ogden super hot, and super fresh! The shrimp was spicy and delicious!!

Worst meal I've had in a long time. Couldn't even eat it. Serving size was minuscule. Nan bread was dry like it was sitting out for hours. Food was tasteless! I had to add salt, pepper and ginger just to give it flavor! Don't waste your time, money or taste buds.... Shocked at so many positive reviews... probably all fakes and paid for.... read more

The food is delicious and authentic. If you want home made Indian food, this is the spot!!! I recommend the Samosas and Chicken Tikka Misala. Thank you for the excellent service! read more

Outstanding Indian food! I've been to around 10 Indian restaurants in various states/countries, this one is my favorite. Recommend the saag or the korma w/garlic naan, mango/strawberry lassi, jasmine tea. As spicy as they'll make it! read more

this place is simple, clean and has really good food. It's one of the lesser expensive Indian restaurants too. loved it !

We came here on Sunday night. It was very busy. There was only ONE person working. The food took over 30 minutes to come out. The food was excellent, very spicy. This poor waitress is serving everyone, getting take out orders ready and answering the phone. She was doing a great job. Hire more people!! It is insane to only have 1 person serving everyone. read more

The food was okay, adequately seasoned, not terrible, which might get 4 stars, but the buffet was the stingiest I've ever seen. Really restricted to just a couple entrees, some tandoori chicken, vegetable, naan. I've never seen a smaller buffet in an Indian restaurant. When we walked in they told us to go get plates and then after we sat down tossed some paper napkins in the middle of the table. At least the silverware wasn't plastic. All in a fairly bland, uninspired setting. Are you fast food or sit-down? Make up your mind. read more

I really do love the food here they have reasonable prices. The paneer is delicious for vegetarian options. I always love to order the Indian chai which will give you energy for days. The samosas are the bomb.com and always gotta order some naan specifically the garlic naan. Although I like the buffet, my only gripe is they struggle to keep a steady hot temperature which makes me nervous about food safety. Hopefully they can fix this, but I really do love the food here and have always had a positive experience especially over the last year and a half. They have improved in many ways. read more

I drive by this place nearly every day and recently I decided to give it a try. Oh man, I am glad I did! This was my first experience with Indian food and I was a little apprehensive. I got a chicken tikka salad and it was okay. The chicken was delicious, but the salad was just okay. "Give it another try" I thought. After perusing their menu online, I gave them a call and went to pick up my food. Their Tandoori Chicken is perfection. If anything, I'll keep coming back JUST for that. I am a fan. It is casual, small, local, and delicious. read more

Great Indian food. I got the butter chicken. It was seasoned very well and tasted amazing. Would highly recommend.

Met a friend for dinner last night. The restaurant is small and not overly attractive. They were busy and I had to wait a while both to get seated and to use the restroom. That said, our food was really good. We both opted for garlic naan and chicken curry - no rice. The price was great and our server was nice. read more

I'm my quest for finding a good Indian food restaurant in the north end of the valley, I stumbled across Sitara India. After eating Indian food from California to New York and everywhere in between, I must say, I was so impressed with this strip mall restaurant. I can honestly say I was not expecting it to be as exceptionally good as it was. I live about 25 minutes away but will definitely be making it back soon! Yummm read more

My first time having Indian food. I really loved it. To me, it was like flavor explosions in my mouth. Exciting and new flavors had me eager to try the next dish. read more

This used to be my favorite, go-to Indian restaurant for about a decade, but after tonite I can't say that anymore. I ordered the chicken tikka masala but tonight's was somehow a totally different recipe that was bright orange with no flavor. And the chicken didn't even seem like chicken - just some really tendon-y nightmare. And for whatever reason, they have re-hired that super loud, aggressive, lazy blonde lady. She is always shouting and completely ruined the dining experience. The other waitress (Andy, I think) was really nice and hard-working. It genuinely breaks my heart to say this, but tonite was horrible and I don't know if I'll ever go back. read more

It's so easy to write this review. Good Chicken Tikka Masala (comes with plain naan) and the rice was cooked perfectly. Hint: One order of rice is enough for two people...so no need to order per person. read more

Sitara India - chicken tikka masala - Indian Near Me - Ogden, Utah

Best Indian restaurant in Ogden! Great service! Delicious foods! Wish it is located in downtown Ogden.

This place has some pretty darn good Indian food. They just recently raised their prices, which is lame, but the curry is worth it. Thumbs to the up. And the curry "temperatures" (AKA - Mild, Medium, Hot) actually are true gauges of the spiciness of the food. And I like integrity. If you are ordering take out, make sure to call it in. Otherwise you'll be waiting 20-30 min for your food. The mood lighting in the place is low, so it's a nice place to go for a good meal and a nice conversation in your regular clothes, or a good place to go on a casual date, especially a blind date if you just want to feel the other person out in a classy, but not so formal setting. Just recently went here with my fiance on his midtour leave from Afghanistan and the waitress brought us delicious homemade ice cream in the pistachio and mango flavors. And it was good. I almost couldn't walk out of the place because I was so stuffed, and the owner is awesome. He helps cook the food and 90% of the time will come out and ask you how you like the food. I definitely frequent this place. Plus, the lunch buffets are well priced for what you get and it's a good way to try a bunch of different Indian cuisines if you are a noob at the whole Indian food bit. read more

Pre-Covid I thought it was great, now it's seems watered down. Normally get several different dishes and all seem the same, watered down.

We went in well before 1pm... and had to scrape what we could from the limited vegetarian options. Waited for the staff to refill the buffet but that never happened. Even asked the lady coming out of the kitchen "will there be anymore coming out?" And she replied with a nod of yes.... after waiting and watching the family behind us get served individual dishes but the buffet ignored, we were a bit confused. Trying to get water refilled doesn't happen. So we just brought in our own bottled water, but nobody noticed as they're too busy informing customers the buffet closes soon(an hour before its stated to close). No thanks Sitara. read more

Got door dash. Delivered nice and hot. Very spicy. Great garlic naan. The vindaloo is my favorite.

It is always exciting to be surprised on a culinary level in Ogden. Sitara India did not disappoint. This place offers northern and southern India food. They offer a lunch buffet seven days a week for $7.99. The just opened this August. Located in a depressing-ass strip mall at Harrison and 36th, Sitara India is clean and offers fresh, delicious food. Service is very friendly. If you go on Sundays, Richard will be your super nice waiter. The naan is amazing and I recommend the meal-in-itself green peas pulav and the sweet and delicious navratan khorma! Definitely stands out in Ogden. read more

I LOVE this place. I wish I could go here every day. The buffet is the absolute best. It's $6.99 on weekdays and $4.99 on Sundays. The food is delicious. The service is great. The atmosphere isn't the best, but the food is so good and so well priced that I don't even care. It's so good. Great options for vegetarians. The thing with Indian food is that it is usually so expensive and you don't get a good amount for your money. This place is both tasty and inexpensive. read more

I will never go back here again. Being Indian and knowing what Indian food tastes like, this place was horrible. The tadka was so overwhelming with masalas that it did not have the balance of spices. It was just garam masala. I don't recommend this place at all. read more
