Sitar Indian Cuisine - Pasadena

I'm not sure if this place is under new ownership, but the name has changed. It's now Bollywood Masala. My experience was great. I'm from out of town traveling on business and I always make a point to go to an indian restaurant for dinner at least one night. I picked this one simply because it was close to my hotel. The service was great. It's always a little awkward going out to eat alone, (or maybe I'm just awkward) but having a great meal makes it worth it. The food was great; I especially loved the samosas. The kheer was also delicious and you could actually taste the rosewater. Also, I never once had to ask for my glass to be refilled which is a pretty big accomplishment considering I drink a ton of water when I eat. We're talking 4 or 5 refills without having to ask. Overall, I think it's definitely worth a try!

They give spicy a new meaning!! My taste buds had a flavor overload! Everything was fresh, the service was great and the drinks where nice and strong. I really appreciate how attentive our waiter was, he took the time to explain the different menu items to me so that I had a better understanding of what I was ordering. I will definitely be back!

For the price, the buffet is delectable. I came in here with expectations of standard fare Indian lunch buffet, an adequate meal to be enhanced with the liberally included california spakling wine mimosas! What I found was one of the best chicken tikka masalas i have ever had at a buffet. I normally avoid the tikka masala like real italians avoid american spaghetti and meatballs, but this was really top notch. The mutton curry was superb, the palak paneer very good, and the rice was very buttery and moist. Throughout, the service was excellent. I will return here promptly, and that I enjoyed this meal sufficiently enough to make this declaration is a surprise to me. Highest recommendation.

Solid AYCE lunch. 4.5 stars. There is a small lot in the back with free parking just for the restaurant. I'd definitely come back.

I loooove this place. $10 lunch buffets every weekday. Great indian cuisine. I love lamb and or goat meat and they serve it here with their buffet. Nice servers. Best garlic naan I've had so far.
