An unexpected find while strolling through Vancouver’s colorful and trendy Gastown. The spicy and richly flavored goat curry paired with steaming basmati rice was outstanding. If only cold beers were available to wash it down. The simple but delightful meal was the surprise of a full and busy day.

I placed a take away order for lunch(dal-makkhni, naan and roti). While daal tasted good but the overall quantity was too less for 2 people and was too watery.The naan was not roasted enough and tasted raw at some point.They gave some complimentary rice that saved us as we had that with watery daal.May order again to try some other dish.

Parking: Street parking is there

Such good food. All the restaurants around are packed. We have been in Canada for 3 weeks and most restaurants do the same sort of foods and we were craving an Indian! There was no one inside the Sitar, we contemplated not going in - we were so glad we did! We eat a lot of curry at home in the UK and, although different to UK Indian restaurant food, this was delicious. I had the chicken spinach curry with a medium heat. We would totally recommend this restaurant.
