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!

We had the Dosa and Naan where were both made fresh and fantastic. Then we had the Mutton Sukka.

Theres not much service during these but staff is still there to help you out. This is possibly the best Indian buffet. There are so many different options and each time is a lot different. I often times end up seeing something I've never tried before. It's usually a mixture of starters, soups, curries, rice dishes and sometimes a live samosa chaat. It's usually fairly busy but worth the wait and it's great to hear the music paired with cricket on the TVs for a lively atmosphere. The buffet food is alway top notch. My typical favorites are the onion pakora, nawabi curry and the OG chicken biryani. I have made it a tradition to go here every time there's a holiday because it's so good!

These were both super filling and flavorful. Naan- 10/10; This was just plain, buttered naan but it was incredible. This was my favorite of the two breads that we ordered.

My favorite appetizers are the Chicken 65 and the Vegetarian Samosas. The Chicken 65 consists of bite-sized pieces of chicken breast that are fried and then tossed in a spicy sauce. It's served with chopped red onion and a cilantro garnish, making it perfect for sharing at the table. The Vegetarian Samosas are deep-fried pastries filled with green peas, potatoes, and Indian spices, with a noticeable curry flavor. They're served with a brown, tamarind-based dipping sauce that pairs perfectly with the filling. One entrée we love sharing is the dosa. A dosa is a lightly fried crepe, and there are about a dozen variations, each with different fillings and spice combinations. The dosas are served with several sides for dipping or eating with pieces of the crepe. The Tandoori Chicken Tikka Kebab is another favorite. The chicken is marinated, baked in a clay oven, and brought out steaming hot on a sizzling platter. In addition to the dishes mentioned, Bawarchi offers many other classic Indian favorites. One word of warning: if you order spicy, they mean it--the heat level can definitely light you up!

The rices absorb and mix with the dishes wonderfully. Everything was so good.

I'm cool with that. I will definitely be a Saffron regular.
