12541 116th Ave NE, Kirkland, WA 98034 · Indian restaurant · Totem Lake

A lively South Indian-leaning spot with a popular weekend buffet and crowd-pleasing curries; strong flavors and friendly staff offset by uneven service speed and occasional quality inconsistencies.

The verdict

Sitar Indian Cuisine delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality in biryanis and South Indian specialties, supported by exceptional customer loyalty and generous portions at fair prices. However, inconsistent execution across visits—ranging from perfectly balanced biryani to overly salty versions—and service delays during takeout rushes prevent a higher grade. The warm, bustling buffet atmosphere suits casual family dining, though the modest strip-mall setting lacks destination appeal.

One caveat: Service delays during peak times, with takeout reportedly prioritized over dine‑in
