Our story
सितारा
Rooted in India. Raised in Durban.
Durban is home to the largest Indian community outside of India. Spice is part of how this city talks, eats and celebrates. Sitara was born into that story.
Our kitchen is a celebration of the subcontinent: smoky tandoor plates from the north, crisp dosas from the south, and slow-built curries that taste the way they should. The room is warm, the service is quick, and the portions are generous enough to pass around.
Veg, done properly
Paneer, mushroom and lentil dishes that are mains in their own right.
Made to share
Order a spread and pass it around. That’s how we eat at home.
Fire & tandoor
Charred, smoky and straight from the clay oven to your table.
