Our Top Dishes

Butter Chicken

A rich, creamy tomato-based curry made with tender chicken simmered in butter, cream, and aromatic spices. Mild to medium in heat, it’s one of the most popular Indian dishes worldwide and is typically served with naan or rice.

Chicken Tikka Masala

Grilled, marinated chicken pieces cooked in a spiced, creamy tomato sauce. Slightly smokier than butter chicken due to the grilled meat, it’s flavorful, mildly spicy, and very popular in Western countries.

Biryani

A fragrant rice dish layered with spiced meat (chicken, lamb, or goat) or vegetables. Cooked with saffron, herbs, and whole spices, biryani is aromatic, flavorful, and often served with yogurt raita.

Samosas

Deep-fried pastry triangles stuffed with spiced potatoes, peas, and sometimes meat. Crispy on the outside and savory inside, they’re a popular appetizer served with tamarind or mint chutney.

Palak Paneer

A vegetarian dish made with paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cooked in a smooth, spiced spinach sauce. Creamy, mildly spiced, and nutritious, it’s a staple on many Indian restaurant menus.

What to Expect

Sitara carries a wide variety of vegetarian curry selections. Lentils, chickpeas, and assorted varieties of fresh vegetables are prepared in curry sauces. Lentils and Chickpeas are very high in protein, and preparing them in a curry sauce further enhances their taste and adds flavour. Paneer, a soft and light fresh Indian cheese (made from cow’s milk), adds aroma and flavour to the curries and is also high in protein.
