Good food, quantity could be little better. It’s good to try once but did not leave me with a taste for wanting it again.

Highly disappointed after going here during our stay in Rome.First of all even with only our table operating we have to wait and to order adhoc while waiting like chapati no one care to serve we have to go to reception asking to give chapati that too with only us eating.In lime water I got plastic probably from ice.And on top the dal tadka is like the worst thing to expect out in an Indian restaurant it was terrible although paneer parantha is good. In end our bill reduced by the cost of lime water because of plastic.Overall bad experience with basic Indian dish daal tadka and service to the table needs upside down changes.

The best Indian food I have ever eaten. Very delicious food and good friendly service.

Another best authentic place to try Indian food in Rome.

Warm and friendly couple .The best Indian food we have eaten in Europe! Chole Bhature a must have if you are in Rome!

Very homely environment. Excellent food. Dal makhani and Jeera rice are a must try and ofcourse butter chicken!!Great location (close to the Colosseum) and lovely interiors.Thank you Anuradha aunty!

Very tasty food. Had masala tea after a long time and it was good. Just tell aunty how you want the food and she will try her best to make it tasty. Loved the authenticity. Rose(Rooh afza) lassi was awesome.

The food was excellent. I was there with 3 of my friends and we had a very good experience. The taste was authentic and the owner was very accommodating. The service was quick and excellent.

Nice place, friendly staff, fast service, great taste, good prices. Highly recommended for all travelers visiting Rome.

Great food and very nice owners

Superb Indian food in Rome. I would definitely recommend this for North Indian food.We been there twice during our stay in Rome.

Very good. Tasty food and great hospitality.

Excellent food! Does not feel like it is made at a restaurant because they did not add too much oil, colouring and the spice level was exactly as requested. Staff was very friendly and caring. Good ambience (with AC) and located close to the Colosseum. A must try!

Excellent service! We felt super welcomed here. Food was very good and fair prices, typical Indian dishes, so lots of vegetarian options. Their naan butter bread was super good!

Service was lovely. The place is crammed. naan bread was fresh and delicious. The chicken briyani was greasy. A small portion sizes

Little restaurant, lovely food.

Really nice, good honest food. Made a change from pizza and pasta! Had plenty of gluten free options too!

Pathetic service … we waited for more than an hour and got nothing apart from drinks and the people came later already got the food and people order on telephone gets food faster than in the restaurant.

Just opposite to the Grand Palatino hotel. Good Indian food

Visited the place during Covid times, middle of the season and we were the only two guests. It is a bit dark downstairs and they have only two tables outside. Nevertheless curry was really good and the service also quite good. I would go there again and recommend it.

Excellent service!

I liked the taste. Everything perfect, except rice was too less for my standard in the Thali .

Great food in a relaxed and child friendly environment. Coming from the UK, Sitar provided a much higher standard of curry relative to most the places we have back home. Recommend the excellent prawn curry. Lots of vegan, vegetarian and GF options available too.

Its a must the food was so good and owners very friendly ..

My rating for this restaurant is a five star. Inside looks much better than the impression you get at the outside. The food is very good, the environment is warm and cosy, the people are nice and it’s very clean.

If youre looking to have comfort and delicious yet luxurious Indian food , this is the place to go ! I dont write many reviews, its either when I have had the most terrible experience or the most mind-blowing food. And trust me, this place is a must go when in Rome - it reminded me of home food after being in Rome for a week, this is exactly what I needed. The staff are friendly, food quality is top notch and the owners are always around which gives me comfort knowing the food is freshly made. Thank you Sitar team for being so friendly and giving me the feeling of home

Had such a lovely lunch today with my fiancé! Indian tasting food run by real Indians 😀And Fluffy makes such a great host! Would highly recommend!

Good

Posting everywhere I can... DO NOT LEAVE ROME WITHOUT GOING TO SITAR! So incredibly amazing! The staff, the food, the prices.... I think this was my favorite part of vacationing here. Right around the corner from the Coliseum. I don’t know where some of the poor reviews came from, but I couldn’t find something to be upset about if I tried. Amazing!

High quality food, not too much oil, plenty of vegan options. They were super nice and made adjustments for our group. They were also really nice, service was great and atmosphere is really enjoyable. We will go again next time we are in Rome!

Humiliating for Indians, Restaurant lady will treat Indians as like untouchable people or low class people, which makes really a bad to be there.Location is good.Food is ok we can try, not that good or not that bad.Ambience is good.They will follow local rules, appreciated.But if they had a good behaviour with Indian, it would have been a excellent place to be.

Myself and my partner ate here and were very impressed. They were very accommodating to us and our baby and went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. The food was delicious and not overpriced. We would recommend this restaurant to future travellers in Rome looking for a break from pasta and pizza!

Authentic Indian food. Love this restaurant in Rome. Very friendly and tasty food. I make sure to visit this restaurant everytime I visit Rome.Greetings from Germany.

Fabulous Indian oasis in central Rome. Tasty food with good service. Highly recommended

Awesome customer service, yummy food and a nice and cozy environment. You should definitely check those guys out if looking for some Indian food in Rome.

Great indian food and service!

Role Tide! What a wonderful family own Indian restaurant. English is spoken by staff and they can help you will food selection.. I took the easy road an ordered the 4 course preset menu. Ask for the Indian style coffee, its really good, instant coffee maDE with condensed milk instead of water... tasty, tasty.

Great food, service and ambiance. Last night I was there as well and nothing of the sort ever happened that is being reported above. Will go again when ever Im craving Indian food.

Food was decent. Prices were decent. We felt everything needed salt. Staff and owners were courteous.

This is not authentic Indian food and does not taste very good. The service is very slow and food took over an hour to come to our table. The owner has a prejudice towards brown/Indian people. She will treat you differently. She kept all the white people in the front of the restaurant and the colored people in a different room in the back. When asked to be seated in the front, we were told those seats were reserved however those seats remained empty till closing. Displeased.

Having experienced Italian warmth and delightful service in restaurants, I was completely taken aback by the condescending manner in which my husband and I were treated at Sitar. Reflecting on our experience later, it was evident that the proprietors had a prejudice towards certain people. Their disrespect and shaming attitude towards a large Indian family made me embarrassed to be an Indian. The restaurant has a policy not to serve tap water!! No where have I seen people be refused tap water! They also have a big list of rules for customers on the first page of their menu!As Indians,we pride ourselves in being generous with food and water towards our fellow beings.....this place was deprived and lacking in generosity of spirit! The waiter was brilliant, the proprietors could learn from him! The absence of humility and their lack of desire to truly serve their customers goes down as a restaurant I would not recommend for an Indian experience!

This was so authentic and amazing. We had the best Indian thali. Highly recommended for the taste palette and the friendliness of the people running the place.

Best indian restaurant in Rome!

Great location and very nice. A nice break from pasta! Yuuummmy

Food was delicious and on time. Owner and server were very accommodating of special needs of our baby. Would love to come back here again.

Yummy thali, I was stuffed. Very friendly staff. Will definitely return.

I was on my holiday in Rome when I noticed this indian restaurant and thought to give it a try . The food was brill and authentic punjabi taste.Friendly staff.Clean and cozy place.

Great food and excellent service. Visit them if you want to have authentic Indian food.

We stumbled across this place in Rome and it was a welcome change from the pasta and pizza after 10 days in Italy. Anuradha runs a great restaurant where the food is authentic and feels like being back home in India. Reasonably priced, friendly staff and good service. We went again the second night for dinner after enjoying the dinner the earlier day and even though the place was busy, Anuradha accommodated the three of us and ensured we were served. Meals were flavorful and tasty- would certainly recommend to anyone looking to have North Indian food in Rome.

Good food. Specially liked the kebabs. Wait staff is really nice.

Was happy to have Indian food in rome after only eating pasta and pizza repeatedly for weeks. The family who owns it was very nice! Nice variety of food as well.

Excellent reception, warm and pleasant welcome.Service was excellent. All were in attendance.Quality of food was top shelf. Excellent.Overall experience- excellent.

This restaurant is amazing! The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere is nice. They charge an extra 1.5 euro if you dont order more than 15 euro of food per person, but they state that on the first page of the menu so it is no surprise. I would definitely eat here again!

Amazing food. The hosts are very affectionate. Went there on 2 different days and had one of the best north indian meals across EU. The Chana Masala and Bhatura thali was as good as you probably get at the best joints in Delhi, India.Can’t wait to go in for a third meal of the trip at the restaurant!!

BEST Indian food in town, no doubt about it.The owners are friendly and very kind, the service is fast, every dish is tasty and fresh.Thumbs up.

The place is quaint and the food amazing. Great place to sit relax and enjoy Indian cuisine. My favorite so far was the Mutton Vindaloo (extra spicy)

Amazing amazing food and wonderful people!!

Good food, we ordered the veg thali and the food was tasty and quite enough for one person. The service was good as well. The food had more of a home made quality.

Fantastic Indian food, lovely staff, cute atmosphere. An excellent choice if you need a break from Italian! Chicken Korma was a highlight

Very good food and service! Perfect for a break from all the Italian cuisine.

Great vegan thali

Definitely worth it. Look beyond the 15 euro rule or the poor English waiter...the food was great. If Indian food you crave, then thats simply the best in Rome

All recipes and cooking is excellent. The owner and her comments at times were odd. But otherwise the service was prompt and all dishes were tasty. Ee went for lunch, we were the only patrons, that helped to get good service.

Cozy Indian ambience with good food.Taste of curries were bit in sweeter side but its ok.

Good food and environment

Very cosy place! We were a team of 9 with 3 kids, had good food.

Chicken tikka thali is too good...

Very good food and vegan options. Love it

Excellent food! 5 out of 5 or may be 6. Amazing food!! Music was very relaxing. Owner was very pleasant. Best authentic Indian food near coliseum and Roman forum! Try their bengan Burtha and lassi.

Been in Rome 2 days. By far the best resturant in town. I rolled the dice and had the Mutton Korma. Turned out to be the best indian dish ive ever eaten!!!.

We loved this place so much, we visited twice. Indian food. Double thumbs up.

Great food. The mutton biryani was amazing! I am from Hyderabad and I can guarantee the biryani at Sitar tasted authentic.

Food was good but comparatively charges were higher

Tasty food with reasonable price.. should try

Honestly the best food I had in Rome. Great food, great service, and fair prices. 10/10 recommend.

Quiet little place. Food tastes pretty much like in India. Very friendly staff.

Lovely Indian restaurant. A must visit, if you really miss Indian food! 😀 Food is really tasty, and a very hospitable staff! Do try shahi paneer (medium spicy), Butter naan and Veg Fried rice 😀😀

Staff is friendly, but the food is like any other ordinary Indian restaurant. vegetable biryani was like normal fried rice. Chilli Naan was ok nothing new only green chillis were added to the naan. Food was not worth the price.

Cozy ambiance. Extremely friendly and helpful staff.food is delicious with an amazing selection. Had paneer, makhni daal and Mango Lassi. Would Def visit again.

Weve tried 3-4 indian restaurants in Monti and this is our favorite. Reasonable price for a sit down meal, nicely decorated and clean (dont get put off by the look from the street - much better once you are inside), helpful staff, tasty food with good variety

Very poor food and service. Ordered butter chicken which mostly had bones and little meat. Chicken Tikka masala was also mostly gravy and hardly any meat. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Make sure the person youre placing your order with, put your in. Set outside for what felt 20 minutes until I went inside because nobody had asked for my drink order and check on my food order. Nobody knows what I was talking about.

Awesome place to have a nice Indian food with nice ambience

Better than any curry Ive ever had in England. The Korma was amazing.

Food was excellent, waiters were superb and interior was phenomenal! Must go

We enjoyed the food and service here. Nice examples of Northern Indian food that were flavorful and nicely portioned.

Good was very tasty, put portions were poor. only 3 pieces of paneer in the dish. Same for chicken. What a joke ! its a shame as it tasted good.

Has to be the best indian food Ive ever had abroad! The food was absolutely delicious and the hosts/owners were so warm and courteous. After days of eating Italian food, our tastebuds finally and thankfully got the much needed respite! A must visit!

Great food and service.Lovely vegetarian dishes!

A really nice Indian restaurant in the center of Rome. The food was tasty and the size of the plates was perfect. 20€ per person including drinks are a great price for the service and dishes you get.

Worst hospitality for Indians.The owner is UNFRIENDLY..not ready to suggest dishes but rather keen to add 1.50 Euros per person with unknown logic. He doesnt allow to drink plain water from the bottle we carry..very RUDE.

My first ever trip to Rome... and it was great! The first Indian restaurant we visited was close to the Pantheon called Bombay Blues... Awesome place food was great and live entertainment on a Saturday night and friendly staff... we had high expectations there on .. We visited sitar on a Sunday night .. firstly be careful if you have a pram or wheelchair ... We had to carry the pram downstairs into the restaurant around 10 stairs . very little space as you enter the establishment .. If you are in a wheel chair ...i dont know how you will bring this in or if you can actually eat their..... General waiting staff member was polite however we found the lady owner to be abrupt ... and not very customer focused when it came to a tentative service (the owner was content on explaining that there was no room to accommodate any changes to the menu, it was a case of take it or leave it). also we noticed a person carrying a dog out through the customer entrance I wasnt sure if it was the owners pet or customers we were not best pleased hmmmm .. on the other hand food was good and average priced. If I visit Rome again im gonna give Sitar a miss

Visited due to 4.2 rating but was highly unsatisfied. Being an Indian it was such a disappointment to see such restaurants having weird rules like they charge 1.5 euros if order is below 15 euros per person..insane. Ordered shahi paneer was it such a waste. Portion not decent, charged for onion salads and didnt allow water we carried. I mean if ur representing India you should know onions,pickles n all are served along not charged. Will never recommend anyone especially Indians to opt for this. There are many better Indian restaurants in Rome .

It was really a great experience of having food from sitar. The food was really good. Staff are tourist friendly , they can handle English, Italian and little Spanish . Me and my friends had shahi paneer, kadai chicken, mix veg paratha and veg biriyani. It was really a wonderful experience. Next time when we come to Rome , we will definitely go to sitar. I strongly recommend this restaurant for everyone who looking for a great indian cuisine.

Warm, friendly owner who greets you and takes your order. We had the vegetable korma and chicken tikka masala. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Excellent experience!

Looks congested from the outside but is spacious enough due to frugal use of furniture. .. food is delicious... hats off to the South Indian chef.. frankly speaking Ive had some bitter experiences in europe. Id suggest owners to play soft instrumental background music.. obviously sitar... ;-)

If you are an Indian and want to have some Indian food in Rome, please avoid this restaurant. Of all the restaurants we visited during our 2 weeks vacation in Italy across many cities, this is the most horrible restaurant we visited. Extremely arrogant owners, terrible service and poor quality food. They treat Indians very differently and give you a feel as if you are unwanted there. Please avoid this restaurant.

We saw a mouse running through the restaurant. Everyone screamed. Owner said the food was on her for everyone eating there if a review wasn’t posted. I left the money on the table and left.

Tried several times to order takeaway from here, but was ultimately unsuccessful. Its been a long time since someone was this rude to me on the phone. To the owners: if you dont want to accommodate takeaway, I suggest you remove that subsection from your website. To people looking for Indian food in this area: there are a lot less painful ways to get it and not very far away either.
