Butter Chicken
Tandoor-smoked chicken in a silky tomato, butter and fenugreek gravy. Mop it up with garlic naan.
Sitara means “star”. In Morningside, a few blocks from Florida Road, we cook North and South Indian classics, from tandoor-charred paneer to golden masala dosa. Every plate is made for sharing at a Durban table.
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.
Paneer, mushroom and lentil dishes that are mains in their own right.
Order a spread and pass it around. That’s how we eat at home.
Charred, smoky and straight from the clay oven to your table.
Lunch with colleagues, a date night, a birthday or a curry on the couch. Sitara has you covered.
Open from midday, Tuesday to Sunday. Bring the team, or slip away for a quiet one.
An intimate room, warm service and a glass of wine or bubbles to go with the spice.
Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Diwali and Eid get-togethers. Book ahead for groups and we’ll set the table.
The full Sitara menu, packed hot and ready to go. Perfect for a Friday night in.
Awesome experience for Mother’s Day at Sitara Indian Cuisine. The food and ambience was amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant.
…Hara Bhara kebab, followed by mains of masala dosa and paneer butter masala.
I had been waiting for months to try this restaurant…
