Sitar

Not good at all… Till now we have ordered 3 – 4 times hoping to get some actual taste of Indian cuisine but it had disappointed me every time and We felt it’s not worth the money. Though the service is good but the taste of food is not authentic Indian taste.

Not very good Indian food. Entire food looked stale and just reheated in oven. Masala chai was not fresh at all, and wasn’t even correctly made. It was very milky. Chicken curry was sweat. Baigan Bharta was floating in oil. Naan were one of those frozen ones that clearly looked reheated in oven. Waiters were dry and not-​so-​friendly!

Excellent indian food. The service was quick and very very friendly! I’m coming back for sure!

Es la primera vez que piso un indio así que no sabía muy bien a lo que iba así que no puntúo muy alto porque debo probar más cosas para llegar a ser fan de este tipo de comida, es lo que tiene ir a lo ignorante…
El lugar está bastante bien, ni muy grande ni muy pequeño con decoración sobria y en su justa medida, quizás demasiado considerando que la cultura india es todo color y decoración a tope, pero bueno, aceptable. Hay dos pisos, en la parte baja hay una zona de mesas y la cocina y a la izquierda de la entrada hay una escalera para subir al piso de arriba donde hay unas 10 mesas y los aseos.
Fui a cenar con unas amigas y el camarero nos dijo que subiéramos a la zona de arriba, mientras subíamos un camarero que bajaba me dió unas cartas de menú en plan «ya que subís te lo doy», a lo que me reí, pero pensándolo mejor creo que es inaceptable! que si vas a un restaurante la carta te dan en la mesa, qué menos! Así que nos disponemos a leer la carta y para mi fue muy confusa, cuatro páginas donde lo único que leías era pollo, cordero, gambas o pescado de 1800 formas distintas, con salsas más o menos picantes, aunque también tienen platos vegetarianos que eso está muy bien. Le preguntamos al camarero que cómo eran la cosas y se explicó fatal, no sé si porque no hablaba muy bien el idioma en sí (era indio) o porque para él todo es super normal, porque solo dijo esto lleva salsa y esto no ¿? pues muy bien, me has aclarado entre poco y nada…
Finalmente pedí chicken mughai (al parecer un plato suave con pollo, curry, plátano, leche de coco y nata fresca) y un arroz blanco que era un basmati al estilo hindú. Al servirnos entendí lo de la salsa… un cuenco con una especie de puré amarillento con una rodaja de plátano encima y cachitos de pollo por ahí perdidos, acabáramos!!! y todo este mejunje lo juntas con arroz o pan (el pan era casi como una pizza de grande y creo que era como el de pita, lo pidió otra persona pero no lo probé). La mezcla está buena pero esperaba otra cosa más un tipo guiso o algo, pero estaba rico, quizás un poco empalagoso por el plátano pero bastante agradable. Es la única cosa que probé pero te quedas bien lleno porque la cantidad de arroz es considerable y la de la salsa también.
El precio es razonable, todas pedimos más o menos lo mismo y salió como a 14 € por cabeza (salsa/pollo+arroz+bebida).
Así que no estuvo mal pero esperaba otra cosa aunque tampoco sabía exactamente el qué, tendré que frecuentar más los indios e investigar!

A delight in middle of a Barcelona street… Laid back and the chef took an extra effort it cooks n off the menu traditional Indian cuisine

Go to Spain and eat Indian Food, how ill I have to be, i thought,
but with some collegues and one Indian companion on my side, it can’t be wrong …
And it was wunderfull, different but original styles of dishes were be offered and we have tried a lot of them. Great. Beautiful Location with a quick and good Service. Also clean restrooms available.

The ambiance is nice. The food is interesting, it is not like any Indian I have had in the past. The chicken tikka masala was sweet, and more of a chunky tomato base than a creamy tomato base. The palak paneer was good not overly salty. The chicken madras was tasty not as spicy as most. They may go lighter on spices here to please more tourist.

Gluten free friendly and very tasty! Good size portions too! Service was quick and friendly. We ate outside with quite a few other people and we’re pleased about how clean the general area was. ATMs are close too. Good food!

One of the worst dining experiences I have had in my life. In Barcelona for a business trip, I decided to go for the nearest high rated indian restaurant and chose Sitara.
The food was quick to arrive and tasted average at best.
However midway down my meal something metallic touched my tongue — there was a staple pin in the dal!
I called for the manager on duty and showed him the pin; he immediately took the plate with him to the kitchen. I asked him for the plate as I wanted to take a picture of the pin to put it up in the review. On hearing my intention to log this event, he actually grabbed my arm and pushed me out of the restaurant. He was immediately joined by 3 – 4 of other waiters and cooks at the door and they started hurling abuses.
Leave aside customer service, this restaurant has no regard for basic humanity. The owner needs to seriously reconsider cleanliness in the kitchen and the kind of people they have hired to run this restaurant.

One of the best Indian restaurants in Barcelona, if not the number one, taking into account that there are good Indian restaurants in the city, some of which I have already tried too. I have been at Sitar 4 or 5 times and everything is delightful. The staff is very nice and prices are very affordable too and if you make your reservation on line through
you get a 30% off. If you like Indian cuisine, Sitar is a must.
Uno de los mejores restaurantes indios en Barcelona, si no es el mejor, teniendo en cuenta que hay otros buenos restaurantes indios en la ciudad, algunos de los cuales ya he visitado. He estado en el Sitar 4 o 5 veces y cada plato es delicioso. El personal es muy agradable y los precios muy asequibles, y si haces la reserva por Internet con
tienes un 30% de descuento. Si le gusta la cocina india, la visita al Sitar es obligada.

Very good food and nice staff! We eat there almost 2 times a month. Chicken madras is my favorite and also the bindhi baji!

Great food, friendly staff, and quick service! Butter chicken is delish although a little sweet and need to order rice a la carte. Must be a Spanish thing. Lol. Biryani was fantastic. Went around 10:30 on Thursday night and served right away.

Glad to have been recommended this new restaurant. Traveling abroad alone can get a bit lonely. Being Indian, I knew this place would be a warm welcome to the traditional Indian roots and would be surrounded by brown folks… felt like home! The food was tasty however did lacked the spiciness that is accustom with a traditional Indian mean. Ordered the palak paneer, veggie naan, fried veggies, and a mango lassi on day 1.
Day 2: Samosas and mixed veggie rice that came with a dal.
I recommend sitting outside and ideal time to go is after 10pm.
