Sitara

We found this little gem one night looking for a good Indian place for dinner in our area. The ambience was gorgeous and the first restaurant of its kind I've been to - crossing over jazz and and lovely Indian food. The service is spectacular, they make you feel special and cared for. The food was absolutely delicious and very authentic. The music complements the whole experience very well. So glad I found this place and it's definitely going to be a regular!

Sitara blends authentic Indian flavors with the smooth, melodious tunes of jazz. During my visit, I ordered dal tadka and chicken kari with naan and fragrant pilau rice. It was so delicious and fresh, beautifully complemented by the soothing jazz melodies that filled the background. The warmth and friendliness of the hosts added an extra layer of charm to the entire experience, making it exceptionally welcoming. Whether you're a vegetarian or a meat lover, this place offers an extensive range of options to satisfy every palate. Sitara is a must visit for those who appreciate exceptional Indian food and a delightful ambiance." 🍽️🎷🌟 Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of visiting The Sitara at Archway, London on a whim last Saturday (17.06.2023) with my girlfriend, and I must say, it turned out to be a remarkable experience. Intrigued by the positive reviews, we decided to give it a try, and boy, were we in for a treat! From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the warm and inviting ambiance. The jazz theme made for a relaxing and wholesome aesthetic, as well some excellent background music. The restaurant, managed by three generations of the same family, exuded a sense of authenticity and togetherness that resonated throughout our evening. Now, let's talk about the food. Wow! The flavours we experienced were simply unparalleled. We opted for the chef’s specials of Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Karahi, accompanied by fragrant Pilau Rice and delectable Garlic Naan. Every bite was a revelation, leaving us craving more. It's safe to say that this was, without a doubt, the best curry I have ever had the pleasure of eating. The skill and passion that went into crafting these dishes was evident in every mouthwatering morsel. What truly stood out, though, was the genuine kindness displayed by the restaurant staff. While we regrettably missed catching the name of the lovely older lady who attended to us, her warmth and attentive service were felt throughout the evening. It's these personal touches that make dining experiences truly memorable. And the chef himself, was incredibly humble and full of jokes when we gave him our compliments. Overall, I cannot praise The Sitara enough. It is a hidden gem that deserves all the accolades it receives. The combination of exceptional service, stunning aesthetics, and divine cuisine makes it a must-visit for anyone in search of an extraordinary dining experience. It doesn’t matter where you are based in London, it’s worth the journey no matter how long or short. I can't recommend it highly enough, and I am already eagerly planning my next visit to this culinary haven!

This is a surprisingly fantastic restaurant. We had the Kari Chicken and the mixed grill. I was a little worried about the idea of not having a sauce with the mixed grill, however the flavours were out of this world. It's a really cosy location that even hosts it's own Jaz nights. The staff were really nice and very accommodating. I'm not a fan of onions and I can't eat tomatoes, however I mentioned this to the owner as he took our order and he was absolutely happy to help. Really recommend this place and when we return next we will be back.

Booked a table for 3 for Saturday evening. Arrived on time, friendly waiter took us to our table, drinks arrived very quickly following by freshly prepared delicious dishes. Despite we didn't expect to hear jazz music in Indian Restaurant atmosphere was fantastic! Happy to return here and recommend it 😀 Thank you! 🙂

A marvellous restaurant. The atmosphere is phenomenal (Indian Jazz, an excellent concept!). The flavours of the food are excellent and always fresh. The customer service is phenomenal, Raj and the whole family are incredibly friendly and attentive and you can see why they have such a stellar reputation. After visiting I can see why it is always so packed in the evenings. I could not recommend this place more highly.
