Indian Reprise, Foodie Style- at Sitar Indian Cuisine

As many of you know, Joe and I are big fans of Indian food. I’ve got a little history with it – worked at an Indian Restaurant, got my friends and family hooked, had my wedding rehearsal dinner at Himalayan Exotic Indian Cuisine, and am always eager to eat Indian with King Foodie.

Sitar India Palace in Durham is our go-to spot for Indian food. The quality of the food is excellent – both authentic and flavorful with a buffet you can‘t beat. The atmosphere is equally pleasing, with the homey comfort of a family owned business combined with class and cheerful style.

To no one‘s surprise, it was Joe who first introduced me to Sitar back when we were first dating. I remember being impressed, both by the mouth-watering buffet, as well as the amount of food King Foodie could consume. I also recall Joe’s parents making the 12 hour drive from upstate New York to Durham, and Senior Foodie, Dr. Dan specifically requesting Sitar India Palace for his first meal.

Meal time- picture this…Senior and Junior Foodie gorging themselves until blue in the face, while the wives, the epitome of grace and style, sit with elegant ease and make charming conversation. If Senior Foodie and his disciple, Chef Joe, feel this strongly about these samosas, this is some serious stuff. [ Read the full article ] »

Loving Indian Food

 
 
 

As a dancer in NYC after graduating from college, I needed to supplement my income, and restaurant work was always an option. I was intimidated by the city’s upscale bars, busy restaurants, pubs, etc., Need not even apply… So, I got the idea that an Indian Restaurant might be a viable option. I scoured “Indian row” and eventually got hired at Balducci’s Restaurant in the East Village, summer 2001. Balducci’s proved to be one of my most memorable, unique and cool job experiences. Maybe it was the attention I received from being the only female. I felt honored to be included, given that all of the other employees were of Indian descent. Thus began my fondness and appreciation for Indian food/restaurants. My passion for this cuisine has developed over the years. First, introduced my parents, and got them hooked. Later, in 2008, had our wedding rehearsal dinner at an Indian Restaurant, which I must say was a big hit! And now, going out for Indian food with Joe is one of my favorite treats!
