New Indian Restaurant opening next to Sapporo

I don't remember where Sapporo is...

Sitar is 1702 Bardstown Road
473-8889

Just to make everyone aware, Sitar has 5 other locations out of state (4) in Tennessee and (1) in Alabama, they know what they are doing.

went there today again for lunch and the place was great. I was excited to see lamb on the buffet and delicious chicken dishes.
Most times at a buffet the quality off the food seems to streak downhill while the price is low but here at Sitar it was complete opposite.

DH and I ate at Sitar last night, and we have to give it a mixed review. They were not all that busy when we arrived at 6:10, and slammed when we left. 35 minutes elapsed between arrival of the menu and arrival of the food. DH had to ask 3 times for iced tea. Never a check back during the meal to see if we needed anything. There were at least 2-3 servers/bussers "busy" doing an enormous amount of sidework, and much concern, with manager intervention, on both keeping the water pitchers filled and set in a particular configuration. Had this much effort been put into waiting on the guests, I suspect things would have gone better.

The food was very good. Of course I asked for hot and of course I got what I'd call mild-medium. It always seems to be the case that Indian restaurants simply will not make their food hot, even when requested. I know what I'm asking for. That said, the food was flavorfull and well prepared. And I have some leftovers for lunch. I had the bhindi masala and DH had a chicken saag. The naan was hot and puffy with just the right amount of char. yummy.

We will be back for the $6.99 lunch buffet to avoid the service problems, but it will be tough to go back for dinner service.

We also noticed that Kashmir has a big sign on their door advertising a daily $6.99 buffet. hmmm

We tried this place Friday night. We thought it was good, but we liked Royal India more.

Had dinner Sunday night at Sitar. Very mixed review at best.

I ordered a beer...no liquer license....ok a diet coke....the machine is out of syrup. Ok how about chai tea....luke warm and weak.

Vegatable samosa was good. Chicken tika was good and the vegatable korma was delicious. Unfortunately it ended there...the lamb biryani was just flat bad. The lamb tasted either gamey beyond words or just off. I eat lots of lamb and this was not good. We ordered all our dishes "medium", there wasn't any heat to any of them. Garlic nann was ok. Service was friendly and attentive - the water glasses remained full. After mentioning the lamb to our server he asked me if I wanted a take-home box for it.

I want this place to do well.....but I'll likely return to Shalamar for my Indian fix.

Did anyone else notice that kashmir opened there buffet from sat. and sun. to everyday of the week.

I've been here three times, once for the lunch buffet and twice for dinner, and loved it each time. No, the service at dinner will probably not win an hospitality awards but it was for the most part efficient. The food was outstanding all three times. Just for variety and convenience sake I'll probably be a lunch buffet regular more so than a dinner guest.

DH and I had lunch at Sitar today. Food was good, and we do enjoy sampling all the different dishes that are on the buffet. Service was spotty (being kind) and I didn't expect spicy dishes on the buffet. there was a very good variety, and it is certainly reasonably priced.

We'll go back, but we're going to do the kashmir buffet first.

All in all, we really like Royal India better.
