You are greeted like family when you walk through the door. We were staying away from home for a few days and found Sitar on a Google search, enjoyed it so much we returned the next night.

Not great if you have a nut allergy! Have never struggled to choose from a menu at any Indian restaurant, but Sitar’s menu was 90% nuts I honestly felt so uncomfortable eating anything as I didn’t know weather cross contamination was happening or not. Not one dish on the menu had an allergen note next to it nor did they offer one. The service was even worse to make the night better and on top of it all the music was so loud you could barely hear the person sat with you. Not a great experience and won’t be going back!

Poor service, tasteless food, food not brought out at same time, rude server. Something has changed at Sitar, used to be fantastic!

Decided to try this restaurant on reviews and local news, what a disappointment, on entering the noise was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think. We had a table for 2 it was small, and we struggle for space. We ordered a bottle of wine and had to pour it ourselves, come on at least the waiter should have poured the first glass. The food wasn't that great, maybe if you don't know what Indian cuisine is all about, then you would like it, unfortunately i know what Indian cuisine is all about, and this is a long way from it. Food was bland and over cooked which happens when you have a very large menu. Also going for a meal should be enjoyable and by this I mean that you shouldn't have to sit there and listen to people swearing their heads of, and the restaurant owners not addressing this. if this is acceptable at the Sitar then it goes along way to show how bad this place is. Would i return, definitely not, I would rather stay at home and cook it myself.

I've never been "out for a curry" before and was not dissappinted when I came to Sitar!!! Easily subbed the best curry in Hemel, and rightfully so! The staff is incredible, knowledgeable and kind, the food is delicious and prices very reasonable. If you can't eat it all, you can get a box to bring it home with! Nice linen table cloths and napkins, and their display ans presentation of food is great! Makes me feel like royalty! Not normally a curry eater, so the advice from the staff Is extremely helpful! We've booked a table for Christmas! :) can't wait to come back. Not sure what I may try next time... Side note I have a shellfish allergy and they are very kind and diligent in dealing with that. Makes me feel safe and able to enjoy the food!!!

Terrible. We ordered a take away for collection Friday night, was told 40 min wait time I arrived on time to the waiter double checking my order for departure. I got home to food being COLD, a main dish missing and a naan bread that was burnt and as hard as a house brick (also wrong naan bread). Sag paneer very disappointing also. Phone call later I’m on my way back to pick up missing dishes. No apology on collection. Get home again to the worst tasting curry. Never again.

Had a fantastic birthday here yesterday and would highly recommend, the staff / service was fantastic and they took my nut allergy extremely seriously and made sure I was fully aware of the food which i could / could not have. To top it all off I even got a present at the end which was wrapped along with birthday music and a cake :) All in all, great evening and will definitely be coming back soon. Thanks everyone!

I don't know what's happened to this place, but my partner and I went on Sunday and the food was so poor. We were so disappointed as this has always been a great curry house. The Mango Chutney tasted mouldy and we did bring this to the managements attention but they said this was a supplier issue. I liked my starter but the main was just awful. The peshwari nan was gritty, literally crunchy for some reason, nothing like I have ever experienced before, it was so off-putting. I ordered a Tikka masala and it had no flavour, the sauce was mostly food colouring and was just so poor to what we have had there before. we left so disappointed and sadly will not be returning.

No complaints. Every time I come to London, I go there and enjoy an excellent meal. The meats are fresh and the dishes are generously garnished. The staff is respectful, smiling and welcoming. Like all the other times, I will come back!

Was pressured to hurry along when we came in at 8.45pm. Quality of meat was poor with both of us feeling unwell for a few days after. Chicken tasted tough and tangy. Service was poor with rude inexperienced, young waiters who then had the cheek to ask for a tip at the end! This used to be a really nice food, service and experience but now it's gone massively down hill.

Disappointing. Found a stone in my food. Nice starters but not a great main course. Make you pre-order your food before you get there on a Saturday evening for a 9pm booking. Claimed it was busy when it wasn't that busy. Poor seating area. Will not be going back.

The Food was excellent so was the hospitality from all the Staff who were all polite to our needs & requirements. The Service was quick & very efficient. If there was any Negatives then charging us £4-00 for the foil containers for the Doggy Bags was a bit below the belt as the food was for the younger generation that couldn't eat it all especially when the bill came to just shy of £340.00. Better to have them thrown in for a better Review....

Never never let them make you pre order, even if you are a large group. Meats all dried out, dried out rice and skin on sauce, really not very nice, clearly prepared and cooked way before our reservation time. Not even very busy.

Absolutely fantastic! This is a lovely, well furnished restaurant with top drawer food and very friendly staff. Unpretentious is correct, but it doesn’t mean reduced standards. We were visiting from Australia and as such not regulars. The gentleman that served us was great, recommended dishes and had a great chat about football. Then the owner came over to ensure we enjoyed our food. My only regret was only getting there once. Had a brilliant meal and enjoyed the evening.

Had a lovely meal here recently with my husband. The food was fresh and flavoursome. The staff were all very attentive. The manager was very friendly and accommodating. The popadoms and naan bread were particularly fresh, the best by far we have had in an Indian restaurant. We found the ambience lovely and the restaurant to high standard of cleanliness. We felt totally relaxed and confident to eat in this place, definitely a little gem of a restaurant. Would give 6 stars if we could, could not fault them on anything. Would definitely go back and recommend. Thank you all at the sitar! 😊

The food here is good; the naans in particular are excellent, as are the samosas. Our curries were perfectly decent, if nothing special. Food and drinks arrived promptly and the price was fair. Now I want to be clear that *most* of the staff here seem perfectly pleasant, but the young man who first met us when we entered is/was nothing short of *spectacularly* rude. No greeting: monosyllabic grunts, a scowl, and he quite literally manhandled a woman waiting for a takeaway out of the way as she was standing next to our table. He is in the wrong job, quite simply. So overall, not bad, some pretty uneven customer service notwithstanding.
