$8-$15 Entrees
Sitar is the only Indian restaurant in Tuscaloosa, AL. It is so good that any competition wouldn't last long anyway. Their strength is their lunch buffet, to which they attract customers primarily from the University of Alabama, especially the law school. As long as you don't mind eating lunch with a bunch of lawyers, Sitar is certainly worth your patronage.
The buffet features a wide variety of dishes, including chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, and chicken curry. There are also fabulous vegetarian choices, such as palak paneer (spinach and cheese dish) and gobhi aloo (cauliflower and potato dish). They serve wonderful payasam (rice cooked in milk with cardamom and other spices). All may be experienced with warm naan and basmati rice. The buffet includes unlimited chai. Certain meat and vegetarian dishes rotate, so there is always something new to try. The staff are courteous and assist with alacrity. They do not serve Diet Coke, which is my drug of choice; however, I let this slide. The dishes on the lunch buffet are mild by Indian standards, but the entrees at dinner are much more spicy. My wimpy American palate can barely tolerate the dinner menu.
I am warning any potential customers that this fare is addictive. I wake in the middle of the night craving Sitar and chanting "vindaloo ... vindaloo ... vindaloo."
