As someone who has tried many Indian restaurants over the years, sitar has always been the best! They just recently opened their buffet back up and it's amazing( and priced SO well). There's so many options and it was all delicious. Service was friendly, and we were in and out within 30 minutes of sitting down. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area!

Best Indian food in Nashville. Been consistent for years. Never had a dish here I didn't like. Service is always efficient with no frills. Dine in or take out. Can't go wrong with Sitar.

Restaurant was very accommodating when our number of guests changed/increased at the last minute. Food was delicious and they helped to suggest options and give us information on the dishes we were unfamiliar with. Service was great as well.
