This is my first time having Indian food, so I was a little lost. Thanks to the kind servers, I always recommended the Tikka Masala. I took my first bite and proclaimed, "This is the most complex dish I've ever tasted." The restaurant really takes you out of a Muncie strip mall into a nice ambient, formal Indian dining experience.

Sitara is always fabulous, I like trying new dishes every time I visit. I have loved every dish I have had. Service is always good.
We visited with my parents for a birthday and the food was very quick and delicious! We have been here many times and have never had a bad meal! Highly recommended!
The food here was very good and so was the device. I won't attempt to describe the foods and names as I not that familiar with India cuisine. The restaurant is wide open and has comfortable seating. It was a light evening on dinners so we had very good service and the restaurant was not loud. We with the sampler platter. There were three items on the dish that gives you a nice variety of dishes. Don't be afraid to try the green and brown sauces. They are mild and accent the food nicely. I had the Madras with lamb. The lamb was tender and moist. I found it to be very tasty. The coconut based sauce was very smooth and creamy without being too rich. The rice is perfectly cooked. Please give this place a try. The Indian food is excellent. Just a note to the owner. We enjoyed our experience a lot. We almost left because your staff didn't show up until 4:59p for a 5p opening. You really should do better in this area.

Where do I begin with this fantastic restaurant. Sitara is by all means a hidden little spot in Muncie. Placed next to the Payless grocery store here in Muncie. If you aren't careful you may just miss it. But please put on your keen eye so you don't overlook this fantastic restaurant. Let's start with the ambiance. Bright covers on the ceiling, and tasteful decor really invites you in. It's absolutely beautiful in every way. It feels like it's thematically aligned with the menu it offers, which brings me to my next area of focus.. the food! Described on a wooden/paper sheet, is Indian accurate food and cuisine. I can't remember the name of the dish, but me and my friends got some chicken glazed in a spicy sauce that was to die for. It was paired with some fantastic rice, and this heavenly bred called "naan". They glazed the naan with rich delicious butter and honestly it was amazing. The drinks were ice cold and crisper than ice from Antarctica. I was both impressed and amazed, they even somehow made the water taste as good as the soda! . Moving on to the final and probably most important area of this review.. The Service! What can I say, the service is the best service in Muncie. With the constant Refills on our drinks, to them asking at several points if we were enjoying our food. It felt like they tried and fully cared about our experience. That may sound standard but what I'm about to say next will blow you away. As we were eating mid-meal, the host of the restaurant physically came over and tidied the table up. It made us feel so special, almost like we royalty or dare I say... The President! No place I've EVER been to, has done this. It made our evening in every way! We enjoyed our meal and paid up front when we were done. The host asked if we were getting dessert but honestly we were stuffed. So what's my rating for Sitara Indian Restaurant. Based on our overall experience this establishment gets a well deserved 5 stars! If you want good food and a fantastic time go here, and keep coming back.

I was real surprised when I walked in. On how well it look. It looks very clean and inviting. And the food and service was great.?
Been here twice. First time, an employee looked me up and down as if he had an issue with me or my presence. What somewhat alleviated the negative vibe left by this guy was the young man at the register who was very professional and courteous. The second visit to pick up food, everything went good until the guy who handed me my drinks coughed over my head without covering his mouth. But again, this visit they're was a young lady at the register who was very courteous and professional. The young man and young women are the only reason the service gets more than 1 star. Other than that, the food is delicious, although a bit pricey for the portions.

My husband and I wanted a quiet nice place for our lunch date and this definitely did not disappoint. Not only was the food amazing but the customer service was top notch. Best part they had so many Gluten Free Options. Thank you for a great experience. We have so much left over. It was very nice, and the people there are just amazing!Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free
We loved this restaurant. We stopped in for the first time today and did not regret it. The Vegetarian Samosa was very good as well as the Momos. My chicken Korma was also delicious with the buttered naan. We are planning on returning!
