Sitara in Herefordshire, County of

Me and my wife just stumbled on this place, when we drove passed it looked busy and my wife said we wouldn’t get a table, we tried anyway and when we walked in we where greeted and welcomed, we where shown a table and got some drinks. From the out set the service was really good and the staff as busy as they were pull the effort in. We ordered food and it was well presented and very tasty, it was served on hot plates which is a bonus. This is the best Indian food and service I’ve had in a long time, and coming from Ross on Wye we will now make the drive to this restaurant on a regular basis.

We spent 2 nights in Ledbury and we weren’t sure which Indian Restaurant to dine in. We chose Sitara and went in to enquire if we needed to book for the next evening, a Thursday. The manager said it wasn’t necessary, as Thursdays aren’t as busy as Fridays and Saturdays. We made a booking anyway and arrived earlier, but it wasn’t a problem. Really glad we booked. The restaurant was really busy. The food was excellent and the staff really helpful and friendly. We spoke to some locals before we went and they said we had made the right choice.

Staff put out all the stops to offer an excellent evening out. The food was delicious! We were visiting the area and had a recommendation to go. I am so glad we did!

Always great food whether you dine in or takeaway. Lovely staff & atmosphere, and the food never misses! Best place to eat in Ledbury.

Lovely staff. So welcoming and friendly. Food was exquisite. Have been coming here for 15 odd years. Have just moved back home. No restaurant compares.

We went to this restaurant with my daughter and her partner for a belated birthday celebration and 40th wedding celebration The service was first class as was the food We shared the chicken,lamb and fish starter We had an assortment of main..

Excellent food, the dansak was delicious which they even adjusted for me to make it tikka. The 2 starters where also great. The food wasn't greasy either. The staff where excellent and very accommodating. I only had a takeaway but next time in the area I'd love to have a sit in meal. Thank you all Mick

Nice restaurant make sure you book very busy on weekends

Lovely curry and rice take away

Came for a meal as a table of 16. The staff were fantastic and the food came out extremely quickly and was delicious

We visited friends in Ledbury who took us to their favourite Indian restaurant, Sitara. They had been very complimentary about it and the expectations that created were fully met. There is a good selection of food and our starters and main courses were excellent, in both palatability and quantity. The service was first class and the atmosphere fine. Next time we visit Ledbury we will be returning.

We booked a table for 4 & we were warmly greeted at the door & shown to our table. The staff were very attentive & took our order for drinks & food. After the drinks arrived there was a short delay before the food arrived. The food was devine & well worth the short delay while it was cooked. The staff were very smartly dressed & very knowledgeable about the food on the menu. I would definitely go back & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sitara to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Ledbury.

Fantastic Indian restaurant, dare I say one of the best I’ve been to in years. The curries are exceptional!

I was staying in Ledbury for a couple of days and a local recommended this restaurant so I ordered a takeaway to collect. I had lamb jalfrezi, sag paneer, mushrooms rice and coconut rice. The food was cooked to perfection with great flavours. I think next time I visit I will use the restaurant as it had a really nice atmosphere and the staff were very polite and friendly. I would highly recommend this restaurant and take away. Keep up the good work.

Food was great and exceptional service. Would highly recommend!

Visiting family in the area and had a lovely meal here this evening. By far the best Indian cuisine we have ever had, thank you chef. And the team are flawless in their service. Can’t wait to return to Ledbury again so we can come back to the restaurant.

Absolutely divine curry! One of the best I've ever had! Loved it!

Twice in the last week we have eaten at Sitara. Once was a take away. And once in the restaurant itself. The simple fact of saying we ate there twice in a week should be proof of the excellence of the food. But above and beyond the outstanding food, the welcome, the service, the warmth should also be seen as outstanding. We arrived as a group of 8, slightly late in the evening, but were welcomed, accommodated, and served to the highest standard. Please consider this review to be exceptional.

Very very good. Worth a visit, we will be back.

Tasty food. One of the best ranges of dips with the poppadoms I've had in a long while. Main meals had lots of flavour and less heat. Peshwari nann not great. Service was good, but they forgot a couple of things but were very apologetic.

Supposed to be the best place to eat in Ledbury. Unfortunately I couldn’t get that far because of the rude staff. Went in at 17:30 for an early dinner and was told they had no staff and I should come back at 17:45. Returned at 18:00 and when I sat down I was told I couldn’t sit where I had sat down and they wanted to put me at the back of the restaurant even though it was empty. Looks like they have become snobs and don’t deserve any customers. Going off to the other Indian instead.

We had a great time; the food is delicious, the staff very friendly and professional. The calm atmosphere is soothing and the very refined decoration is perfect. I highly recommend!!!

First class service, and very tasty food.

Always know what you’re getting here, and always busy so book early to avoid disappointment, especially at weekends!! Highly recommend the lamb nehari, naans are great & friendly service

A world class curry, staff couldn't do enough for us to ensure our dinner was enjoyable. Looking forward to returning...

An absolute gem of a restaurant. Lovely staff who do all they can to ensure you enjoy your dining experience and are knowledgeable about the menu on offer. Plenty of dishes to choose from that can be spiced up or down to suit your taste. Always delicious. Good selection of drinks too.

Another fantastic evening, The manager is a special man who deserves to do well, he goes above and beyond to make sure its lovely evening. We usually dine as a large family table and it’s not easy to please everyone- toddler, vegetarian, pescatarian and hard core carnivores, everyone leaves in agreement that the food is superb.

Great evening out! The food at Sitara was delicious! We are visiting family in Ledbury and chose Sitara for our evening meal. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Pasanda, Chicken Curry with Cashews and Green Chillies, and Mushroom Bhaji. We all thought the food was outstanding but particularly enjoyed the flavorful Tikka Masala. The Mushroom Bhaji as a main course was new for us and very tasty. The restaurant has a nice ambience. Waiters are attentive and courteous. We intend to come back on our next visit from the USA!

Absolutely fabulous! The food at Sitara was exquisite! We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Pasanda, Chicken Curry with Cashews and Green Chillies, and Mushroom Bahji. This is the best tasting Indian food I've had in years! The service and value for money were also excellent and the ambiance pleasant. You will not be disappointed! We will be back on our next visit from the USA!

Our food was absolutely gorgeous we had been before and we’re looking forward to celebrating my husband’s 60 th birthday. The only negative would be the cold unfriendly service could be improved bordering being served by robots . I understand that they have a good reputation for the food and quite right too but shouldn’t get complacent as a smile and a friendly welcome goes along way .

Had dinner with my partner when we visited Ledbury recently . The food was excellent, I really liked the tamarind and chilli dip with the popadoms. The Chicken Jalfrezi was really good, not too hot and had bags of flavour. Will go again if we are ever in the area.

Food was amazing, would recommend the gulabjamun for pudding, service was great- very friendly staff, manager was lovely. Would recommend and definitely go back again!

We went here as it was recommended to us, we live in Cheltenham and everyone in Ledbury says its just fantastic and you will be really looked after here. But we weren’t ! Perhaps we came on the wrong night, the place was exceptionally busy lots of people waiting to pick up takeaways, we were asked to wait as our table wasn’t ready, but there was no where to wait, too many people crammed in already in the small space by the door. When we got to our table we ordered drinks, popadoms, mains and naans. After eating our popadoms we then sat for over an hour before our plates arrived in readiness for our mains, we asked the man who bought them if we could get some drinks but he was in such a hurry, I don’t think he heard us. We then sat there trying to get another waiters attention as they ran through the restaurant with take away bags. When we eventually got our curries we unfortunately weren’t blown away, but were exceptionally hungry. the prawn Jilak was ok nothing special and my husband said the lamb was tender in his but way too much sauce and not much meat. The prices are ok for what we ate and drink prices reasonable too, but I’m not sure our trip over was worth it. We have eaten better and had better customer service. I have no problem waiting for my food when a place is busy, but would like someone to tell me there is a delay and perhaps check in and ask if drinks are needed.

Superb food and service. We walked in on a busy Friday night without a reservation and were welcomed and seated within a very short time. The food was sublime and the service faultless. Many thank to all. Bernice.

Had dinner in Sitara with my partner and I enjoyed it so much!!! The food was delicious, the staff was so lovely and caring and the restaurant itself was beautiful. Will definitely go back again 🤍

First visit/takeaway since moving to Ledbury and it was excellent. Thanks and we will be back.

Fantastic restaurant. Really tasty, freshly cooked food that tastes like it’s been made with care and not just chucked together. A notch or two above your typical Indian restaurant. Excellent service clearly well lead from the front

This is the third time our group of 5 has enjoyed an evening at the Sitara. The food is amazing and the service is superb. The front of house manager is a delightful man who does everything he can to ensure the evening is special. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Amazing Place Fabulous food Lovely Service

Very welcoming and attentive service. Great food. Warm atmosphere. Wonderful experience.

Found this place after a night on the beers, I’d run off from my mates and thought nothing better than a selfish ruby so stopped by. Staff were great, they realised I needed a sneaky Dansak and naan to go and made it snappy. I was away with my sneaky curry in no time, had to scuttle my way back to my hotel room to eat it, ignoring all calls from my mates on the way. I felt ashamed, but not so ashamed my appetite was hampered. Gorging myself on this lovely curry, alone and half dressed in my room was a pleasure. So tasty. In the morning, the guilt kicked in and I tried telling my mates I hadn’t eaten it…but they came in my room and found me with some curry still on my face and some on the bed. So ashamed.

Excellent food and the service was so welcoming and efficient.

Excellent food, excellent service. We were visitors to Ledbury annd stumbled on Sitara and could not praise it enough. We had a great evening for our 22nd wedding anniversary thank you.. what lovely staff!

Friendly and attentive staff. Made to feel very welcome .Great choice on menu . Piping hot tasty food. Our favourite Indian restaurant around. Only negative on this visit was the large group of people next to us were a bit noisy at times for us to hear each other speak. Spoilt it slightly.

Excellent service with great food. If you crave Indian, this is where u go.

We moved away from the area 3 years ago, but the opportunity arose, and returned to The Sitara today, atmosphere excellent, service brilliant. Would certainly recommend if you are in the area. Danoo and his staff... well, what can I say, very attentive and professional. We will return when we are able.

Absolutely delicious meal, we found this by chance as away for the night in ledbury. So glad we walked in. Food is fantastic and so was the service. Thank you

Very busy restaurant, we hadn't booked but owner got us a table. Good selection on menu and reasonable prices, food very tasty and good portion sizes. Food was served just right not rushed and time between each course. Waiters and owner were very polite and friendly and never stood still. Definitely worth a visit but probably a good idea to book.

Popped in on the off chance.No problems even though busy.Service excellent,food spot on,just a wonderful restaurant.

Amazing dinner! Very nice restaurant with very good service. The owner was obviously very much involved, every step of the way. We had the menu for two persons and it was fabulous. We can only highly recommend!

Wow this is highly recommended, staff were very knowledgeable and very helpful food was a1 There were 10 of us and nothing was too much trouble, thank you for a great eve

Fantastic, friendly and very efficient, superb meal ,wish they were near us it would be a regular place to eat

Always a pleasure to eat at Sitara, excellent food and service to match. 5 Star 🌟

What a great experience. The food was delicious, and the service excellent Definitely recommend! One of the best Indian restaurants I have visited for while. 10/10

I typically eat here a few times a year and I can honestly say the food and service is impeccable every time. Thoroughly recommend.

7 of us ate there and not one of us enjoyed our meals. All had dicky tummy's. Chicken saag was worst I've ever tried. Cheese naan was the only thing nice. Sorry but need to be said

Highly recommend this restaurant! Food is so fresh and tasty… staff very friendly and helpful… will most definitely be returning 👍🏼😊

We came here at 7.30pm on a Sunday night, without a booking, and had to wait 10 minutes or so for a table, and perhaps were a bit lucky to get a table. Service is very good, so is the food, my chicken korma was great (although perhaps a tidge too sugary) my friend's biriani was also very good, and the naan bread was amazing. 2 x mains and 2 x zero% beers came to £35.40 or £40 including tip. It's a nice looking place, quiet, unfussy decor, friendly and efficient service.

Fantastic Food Fantastic Service

I'm from California, home to hundreds of Indian restaurants. Sitara is, hands down, the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to before. The flavors from the poppadom do a well choreographed dance on the tongue. The mango chutney compared favorably to all the homemade varieties I've experienced back home, very well balanced for the western palate. You simply have to try the Kashmiri pilau. Loaded with flavors. Right balance of nuts and fruits. The service and ambiance was impeccable. They either are naturally good or they got some serious training done. If you're near Ledbury, do make a stop here. You will not be disappointed!

Came in tonight 14/7/23 for a takeaway meal for 2. Wasn’t expecting the remark from the owner that we received when I got my card out to pay, towards my partner “shame on you” all because I was paying there and then, and not my partner. The food was nice but what a vile owner to make someone feel that way. Very judgemental. Shouldn’t he of just came to take payment and not make such a vile remark. I’m local but my partner has just moved up here to live with me and we were hoping this would be a regular takeaway however after tonight’s experience we’re not planning to come back to be treated this way.

Outstanding service. I usually go for korma and though I asked about the fish dishes, I ordered the korma. Danny persuaded me to try the fish although sure the korma was almost ready - he said I could change my mind and I should be more adventurous. This was said in a gentle manner - not pushy. I did try it and it was very good. Lots of nice touches - such as hot tissues to wipe our hands and after eights at the end of the meal. All the staff were very nice and very efficient. One of the best Indian restaurants I've been to.

My family and I had a lovely birthday meal at Sitara. The food was all delicious (especially the crispy onion bhajis, mint chicken curry, lamb pasanda) and the waiters and manager were very attentive, polite and friendly (while being under huge pressure due to being short staffed and having a full restaurant!) the manager was also helpful with my sister who has a wheelchair, which we appreciated. The staff really went above and beyond. Lovely business, thanks again.

Very good. Delicious authentic food. Staff very accommodating and polite. Really great decor and comfortable space

Really nice food. Would recommend.

I have had a takeaway a few times now and each time I’m left underwhelmed. The place is lovely , tidy clean welcoming. The staff are great they go above and bejond . Always polite and accommodating. However for me the food just isn’t quite there . It’s extremely expensive . The nann breads are half size you’d usually get . And every dish tastes somewhat the same . It’s missing abit of ommph . No real deep flavour to each dish . Sheek kebab is bland and all the mains I have tried have just been very bland .

All four of our takeaway meals had tough meat and the sauces were nowhere near usual standard,the bhaji wasn’t great either I have been a customer for years and this is the first time I feel the need to complain. Sitara have always been expensive but I don’t mind because they were the best Very disappointed

An excellent Indian restaurant. Good value, great staff, great surroundings. Well worth a visit when in Ledbury.

This is a lovely place to eat from the minute you walk in to the artwork on the walls. The menu has some different dishes to the usual standard menu though has familiar dishes too. We enjoyed the food and would definitely eat here again...

Probably the nicest Indian restaurant to eat in the area, the food is excellent, curries great, naan’s Devine and the service is by far the best in the area

One of the best Indian restaurants I've eaten in. Been several times over last couple of years and never been disappointed.

Very busy service Very Good starters were good the mains wernt as good chicken a little bit dry the nann bread was lovely though... £2.50 for a small glass of diet coke which is over priced

Absolutely perfect evening in every way. Service, food and a lovely relaxing environment

A really good restaurant with an extensive menu, some of the itemsI had never seen or had before. All our food was well presented and delicious. The interior is tastefully decorated. The service was faultless - all staff were attentive but not overbearing. A must...

Best restaurant in the town and far and wide. Food is amazing, service amazing, atmosphere amazing. You will visit once and then you will become regular, trying new things on the menu and different combinations,so many different tastes to explore.

Absolutely brilliant, top food, and service!

My family and I (11 of us) came in for my parents’ birthday and we were so well looked after, absolutely no complaints, food was lovely as well as usual

Excellent service from all the staff members, really made the difference. Food was also really good.

Excellent food and wonderful service

Lovely place for groups or couples. Wonderful service . Plenty of parking nearby. Very popular with an excellent reputation for food quality & variety.

Super friendly staff and good food.

Nice clean restaurant.. parking near by.. table was available didn't have wait too long.. friendly staff.. service was good.. food was ok.. saag aloo cudnt realy taste much maybe a little salt needed adding.. lamb buna was ok.. not much open late hours in ludbury.. so limited to food places at night..

Super authentic food, couldn’t ask for a better quality one! Completely loved the starters and main-course. Despite the loooong waiting time to bring the food, I must admit the taste will let you forget the delays!

Beautiful surroundings and gorgeous food, the best curry my husband has ever had, from the lovely fresh poppadoms and pickles to start to the attentive staff and all the meal was beautiful. I can defiantly recommended this restaurant and its such a pity we live...

If you are ever in Ledbury near the Malvern Hills, book yourself into this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

What an increadable place! The food is perfect, service even better. We will be back!

Superb Indian, we’ve been going for as long as I can remember and it has always been outstanding. Highly recommended!

Amazing service and food, staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food is fresh and flavourful. We always have a lovely time when we visit.

I must be unlucky as the experience I had was nothing like all the 4 and 5 star reviews here. Perhaps my expectations are unrealistic having lived in an area with outstanding restaurants before moving to this area Ordered a takeaway and arrived at instructed...

Great service, great food, love visiting here. Another visit and it was as good as always.

Absolutely wonderful! Visited last night, it was busy with a pleasant buzzing atmosphere. Service was fast, efficient, and very friendly. The food was sensational. My Macher Torkari fish curry was hot, rich, complex and tasty. Divine! The mushroom pilau was also a cut above. Sitara is a restaurant you must visit!

As new residents in the area, recently moved from Leicester, we chose Sitara for our first dinner out in the town. While Ledbury can't compete with the choice of 350+ Indian restaurants that we're used to, Sitara would definitely make it into our TOP 3 there. Food was all freshly prepared, a good choice of dishes. Not huge portions but ample enough. Super friendly staff, eager to please. RECOMMENDED

Love the place, food superb, service great as usual.

We come here often! One of my favorite Indian resturaunts! Food is always delicious and fresh! Staff go above and beyond, always very lovely! Highly recommend!

Weekend trip. Authentic, buzzing restaurant and not the- norm dishes on offer with professional service make Sitara a cut above more routine Indian restaurant. Appreciated the personal greeting from the owner on entry and professional service throughout. The food was good, if a bit slow...

The food here was shocking.. mine was very watery probably microwaved as it went cold quick.. the naan breads were not good (you can buy better from Morrisons) the service was very slow.. water that was poured was just sloshed in the glass and splashed several members of our party.. and to top it off I had something green in the bottom of my beer glass.. Needless to say we shall not be returning.. it needs a bit of competition in this town to liven them up a bit ..
