Just about two years ago, a kitchen fire at Sitara caused the restaurant to close for a long while. The Indian restaurant reopened earlier this spring.
Last weekend I stopped in for lunch, and the restaurant was totally empty. Perhaps because it’s been closed for so long and no one is actively posting on the Facebook page, it has fallen off of people’s radars. But I’m here to remind you to add it back into your rotation.
I had the samosas, chicken korma, and saag paneer (with garlic naan and rice). I can’t say that I enjoyed the samosas, but everything else was great. Give Sitara a try next time you’re looking for some Indian food. Menu photos are below.
