Sitar Indian Cuisine - Indian restaurant in Kirkland - 12541 116th Ave NE, USA

We went as a large group during weekend for lunch. The place was not crowded so it was easy to accommodate us and we had a good time. The food is good. We tried a several chicken and vegetarian dishes. Among the one we tried chicken podi from starter is very good.

Went in for a Diwali buffet. There was a huge spread of dishes on both veg and nonveg side. The staff was very humble and nice. They had a very nice balance of curries from vegetables and paneer to goat, fish and chicken. On the whole very tasty food. I really liked their aloo baigan and veg biriyani

We went here lunch on a weekday. We got seated quick and service was fast. Tried Parotta and Vijayawada paneer biryani. Food is rich of flavor and tastes good. Ambience complemented the dining experience.

The karampodi chicken was very good and might go back for that. But yeh butter chicken was too sweet for my liking. The service was fast and good.

Delightful, loved everything I tried! Looking forward to coming back and exploring the menu more. Server recommend combining the pori and cheese dosa and it was such a good call, just the right mix of creamy and spicy

Such a nice Indian restaurant! We've gotten it delivered, take out, and dined it. It's been consistently excellent. The Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala are delicious. The veggie samosa and mulligatawany soup are amazing. The dough of the samosa is crispy and salty and wonderful and the soup has such depth of flavor. UPDATE: We tried the Goat Pepper soup recently and it was amazing! The meat was so tender and the broth was warm and very complimentary to the rest of the food. We also tried the cheese naan which was fantastic.

It’s been a while we had consistent service and food at an Indian restaurant in Eastside. We look forward to our visits at Sitar in Kirkland for the good food and quality of service. Mr. Mohan, thank you for your kindness and good food suggestions. I highly recommend their biryanis(Dum and Vijaywada style), Goat Roganjosh and Tandoori roti. We also appreciate their thoughtfulness with bottled water and clean facilities. Thanks Sitar team.

I've been to India twice, and this is as good as any Indian food I've had inside or outside of India. The diversity of the menu is impressive, particularly the biryanis, of which there are about 20 choices. If you have any questions, staff are good at describing the differences between the dishes and helping steer you to the right one. Spiciness levels ranges from very mild to quite hot, but they will tone down the spiciness if that's an issue for you. Besides the quality of the food, the service is fast, the portions are quite generous, and we always have another great meal the next day from the leftovers. The restaurant is never crowded, and I don't understand why, but it's a great place for a leisurely meal. We eat here regularly, and have explored the menu widely: we have never regretted any of our choices.
