• DoorDash orderThis was my first time trying Sitar in years. I used to go to their buffet over in Papermill a long time ago.
The Gobi Kulcha was supposed to have "homemade cheese" inside, there was nothing but little bits of onion. Only $5, but still not as advertised. It was also dry.
The Kulfi (pictured next to a Coca Cola to illustrate size) was pretty much a single scoop of really bland ice cream. It was obviously portioned out and frozen ahead of time. Definitely a waste of another $5.
The Karahi Lamb Palak seemed like a small portion until I mixed it up with the rice in a larger bowl, but for what you get for $20, I wouldn't order it again. The lamb was still a bit gamey on the taste, like it hadn't been marinated or prepared right.
Not going to order from here again.

• DoorDash orderSitar is my favorite Indian food... ever?! Their chicken tikka masala is bursting with flavor. The goat curry is fire! All of their biryanis are savory & delicious. Mango lassi is so yummy. You can't go wrong with any of the vegetarian options; however, their meat is so tender & flavorful. Whatever you get, you won't be disappointed.

• DoorDash orderThe Chicken Tikka Masala was so delicious and filling. I always love Sitar and this hit the spot. Warm and satisfying with huge chunks of chicken. And you can never go wrong with naan!

• DoorDash orderThis is, hands down, the best value Indian food in Knoxville. The quality of the food, along with the portion sizes at the price (even the inflated door dash prices) are unbeatable.
The chicken tikka masala and chicken korma are unbeatable. The only critique I would have is that they could use a little heat, but that's a personal preference

• DoorDash orderI was not very impressed by the price for the portion size received with the exception of the Onion Bhaji. The box was loaded. The Pakora was over cooked. The seasoning on it and the other appetizer was insanely salty. They were disappointing appetizers and threw most of it away. The Garlic Naan was awful and felt like I was chewing on rubber. The Chicken Tikka Masala was delicious and I considered giving 3 stars due to its flavor alone, but again significantly overpriced for the portion size. Considering rest of my food was mediocre at best they get 2 stars. Definitely not spending money here again.
