Not a nice experience

by vinod1

I would never recomend this place to anyone who wants to try out Indian cusine. My friends and I had a bad experience. The service was bad, seems like the staff there didnt want anyone coming in. Three out of the five of us who ate there ended up having stomach upsets. The food tasted like left overs from previous days.

• Pros: Good location
• Cons: Food was not at all good

Best Indian food in Nashville -- hands down!

by bnaldc

I've been dining at Sitar for years and it just seems to get better with each meal. Chicken Sagwala is the best i've ever eaten and the Chicken Peshawri is spicy hot and scrumptous with a nice glass of pinot grigio.

• Pros: Best Indian food in town
• Cons: Rated Best Indian 2007 by Nashville Scene -- now there's a line to get in sometimes

It could be so good

by sjmc

The food here is great! There's a great buffet with many choices that change daily. I love the food here. What is really bad is the place itself. It's small, dirty and you never get a good table, because there aren't any in the whole restaurant! We now only get take out, and only once in a while. Cuisine of India is a much more pleasant dining experience.

• Pros: The food
• Cons: Restaurant is dirty and claustrophobic.

Terrible Food and Poor service - Please dont go anywhere near there

by adarsh_kr

I went there yesterday with my family and Friends and got the worst food I have ever tasted from anywhere. These people were just trying to fool the Non-Indians by mis-using the "INDIA" name. The food they are selling there is no where near what we used to get from the restaurants in India. For example, we ordered Biriyani yesterday, which they made by just mixing some rice and some chicken curry - thats not Biriyani. They should have named it Curry mixed in Rice or something like that.

And we made a mistake by ordering something spicy - I got the dish which was topped by some raw chilli powder - thats not the way to make something spicy, right?

And the service was horrible. Those people dont give any attention to any one. They all have a Grumpy old Trol face. Dont even think of trying something from there.

• Pros: Only a few indian Restaurants in Nashville :(
• Cons: Quality of Food, Service

Best Indian food in town!

by mindusmos

My husband and I moved back to Nashville from Phoenix, Az. We had tried Shalimar and Taste of India...then we discovered Sitar and we absolutely love it!! Very flavorful food and great service! We have eaten there twice this week. Highly recommended for Indian lovers!

• Pros: Great food and service!

Best Indian Cuisine in Nashville

by thisnthat

Having been to many Indian restaurants over the years Sitar is right at the top. No other restaurant beats there lunch buffet an excellent deal at $6.99 a person. Dinners are pricier, but always excellent. Yes, occasionally the cook or staff may have an off day, but after dining here nearly every week for the past 5 years I recommend them without hesitation. All the sauces are deliciously full of flavors from cumin to clove, ginger, garlic or onion. Their meats never require a knife to cut and are always very melt in your mouth delicious (though sometimes a small piece of bone squeaks in) and the naan is also always delicious.

• Pros: food, staff, atmosphere
• Cons: parking a bit cramped

favorite Indian place

by yoop

I've been going to this place for years now, and it's some of my favorite food in all of Nashville. Sitar is the restaurant where my Indian friends like to dine. This restaurant serves northern Indian food, so it can be quite spicy, and (unlike southern India) they serve various meats. The meat is always cut-it-with-a-fork tender, and the sauces taste almost like homemade. It's inexpensive, the wait staff is attentive, and you'll leave having eaten way too much. Their lunch buffet is the best I've been to, though it is very crowded.

• Pros: good service, great price
• Cons: small parking lot, somewhat cramped

More boring Indian food

by zentrainer

Again, it's hard to make Indian food taste bad, there are Palak Paneer TV dinners that are good, but this is just all blobby, taste the same food.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Besides the boring blobby food, the wait staff appears to be sexist.

In a word... yummy.

by lannyowen

I love this place. The chicken tikka masala on the buffet is the perfect blend of spicy and savory. I enjoy this delicacy with the tasty Naan bread. The curry dishes are very good also. This place is also very vegetarian-friendly. There are many items that herbivores can munch on with out-of-this-world flavors of India. The lunch buffet cannot be beat for the price. My wife loves the chicken tendoori. If you like spicy food with full flavor as much as I do, this place is worth a looksee.

• Pros: Chicken tikka masala is tender and spicy. All you can eat lunch buffet.
• Cons: Spicy Indian food is not to everyone's taste. Orange and yellow colors mean curry.
