They have options to go for the mild choice if you can't do spice. This restaurant is situated within downtown Montclair - which is such a charming shopping block. We ordered: - honey chili lotus - saffron butter crab (generous portion size of crab)! - goat cheese naan - Goan fish curry Every dish was so good! The highlight was the saffron butter crab - that umami flavor was insane. The honey lotus was crispy and packed with flavor. The Goan fish curry was satisfying and not spicy at all which we both appreciated. I also enjoyed the 3 complimentary sauces on the table - none of them were too spicy. I highly recommend this place! The service was great as well.

The space itself is on the smaller side, but it is intimate, warm, and always buzzing. The staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming, making you feel taken care of from the moment you enter. Parking is street based, but there's a garage right across, and honestly, the area is very walkable so it's not a hassle to find street parking. They kick things off with a complimentary appetizer (crispy chips with dipping sauce); I ate before the phone -oops! The mango lassi is not your typical thick, yogurt heavy version, and the one here is lighter, smoother, almost like a refreshing mango smoothie - also not pictured, big oops! Why I LOVE the place after the first visit: the curries (ordered the paneer and chickpea)!! Unlike many Indian restaurants where dishes can feel overly heavy or leave you feeling weighed down, the curries here are light yet incredibly aromatic and full of flavor. You get all the richness of the ingredients and spices without that post meal sluggishness. Rice comes complimentary with the curry (always a win), and the naan is a must order. Both the garlic and butter naan were packed with flavor-- went very well with the curries! Note: It does lean a bit on the pricier side, but the quality, freshness, and dining experience make it worth it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again to try other things on the menu.

The taste was not authentic Indian flavors, we aren't sure if we came during later hours and the food didn't seem fresh except for the naan that they made fresh for the roll. The service was slow.

For my prior visits, I would have given Sigri four stars, but a recent visit was quite disappointing and caused me to leave this three star review. For a recent lunch takeout, I ordered a platter that comes with rice, protein, sauce, salad, samosa, and naan. While placing the order, I had to repeat myself multiple times -- this in itself is not a bad thing, maybe the employee was hard of hearing or maybe I was speaking softer than usual that day. However, the issue was that the employee acknowledged that I requested a garlic naan, but when I opened my takeout order, there was nothing on the naan -- no garlic or butter -- and it was burnt in various places and crispy, rather than being soft and chewy. (I confirmed with an Indian friend that properly made naan is never burnt and crispy.) Although it is too soon to judge Sigri on this one negative experience compared to many positive experiences, I am now hesitant to return to Sigri for lunch. I will give it at least one more go and update with another review at that time. Until then, I can only offer a half-hearted recommendation of this restaurant.

Not only do you get a chance to try a variety of regional Indian curries, but they also offer a Seasonal 'emu of specialty selections that you may not think to try. I like that they offer these innovative or socially selections so people can try the real tastes of India. Addie talk to selection is the QUALITY! They clearly use real, fresh ingredients because I had no discomfort after our meal, which tends to be common after eating at many Indian restaurants. I am my scientific proof; food quality is top notch! The service. All wait staff were friendly and kitchen ran like a smooth operation. Given that the restaurant is a small space, it becomes more essential that staff are knowledgeable and coordinated, as was the case here. Everyone was on their A game. Space is small but charming. In Upper Montclair but not at that busy intersection. Parking is on the street, metered. Not ideal but it is what it is. Overall, you definitely get a top quality experience here and this place is totally worth checking out.

When it comes to service, one is treated like you're their number one priority. I would suggest they install an awning to control the draft and the chill of winter.

In regard to people waiting for take-out in pjs and flip flops, take away from the dining experience.
