The last time I came to Sitar was 6 years ago in college and since then it’s gotten a lovely renovation. The interior is elegant and clean, and the staff are super welcoming and attentive. I loved the vegetable parkora and paneer pakora as well as the mango lassi which was both tangy and sweet! The malai kofta is spiced well but also has a creamy buttery finish, which pairs well with the chilli cheese naan. Overall, an excellent spot for classic Indian fare in a setting that’s great for a meal when you have guests in town but also for a casual weekday meal too!

The food was okay. The service was really slow. Ordered Dal later and they got us back the another dish instead of Dal after 30 minutes of waiting. I like the painting on the outside wall. It’s really beautiful!!

Absolutely marvelous dinner at Sitar. Service was attentive and very pleasant, and the food was amazing from the beginning and kept getting better with each course. Was our first dining experience here, and we will most definitely return!

Delicious food, beautiful renovated space on the corner of Orange and Grove, excellent prompt service, friendly atmosphere. 10/10 — one of New Haven’s best restaurants, and has been around for a while so you know it’s tested. Always a great meal.

Friendly service, classic food with lots of vegetarian choices. They do a big carry out business, but the dining room is very comfortable and great for big groups.
