About Sitar Express

Sitar Express delivers rich, non-greasy curries and fresh flatbreads made to order when late-evening dinner plans in Ashgrove run past 8pm. The kitchen cooks each order on demand—thick butter chicken, spinach-infused palak paneer, and tandoori chicken prepared from scratch across a dedicated 40-minute bake. Generous rounds of saag naan easily cover two diners, showing up soft and blistered straight from the oven.

  • Cooked to Order: Chicken tikka jalfrezi, rich butter chicken, and tandoori chicken cooked from scratch on order rather than held in trays.
  • Oversized Sharing Naan: Fluffy flatbreads like saag naan come sized generously enough to feed two diners.
  • Late-Evening Express Run: Reliable evening takeaway and casual seating operating smoothly past 8pm.

Why Choose Sitar Express

Discover why Ashgrove locals rely on Sitar Express for fresh curries, prompt service, and warm hospitality.

  • Fresh, Made-to-Order Preparation

    Curries and tandoori specialties are cooked fresh to order rather than pre-assembled from warming trays, ensuring thick, rich sauces and tender meats.

    Butter chicken has a thick creamy texture and is made upon ordering.

  • Generous Flatbreads Made for Sharing

    Freshly baked naans are prepared generously sized, offering soft, fluffy portions that easily satisfy two diners.

    I was also surprised by the size of the naan for the price which easily fed two and was so soft and fluffy, very happy.

  • Prompt Late-Night Express Service

    Providing swift order turnaround late into the night, making it Ashgrove's dependable dinner spot when other venues are winding down.

    The food is delicious & the service is prompt (ie truly express) which makes Sitar the best restaurant to go late after 8pm.

    I order the Palak Paneer and it is unlike any other. Even other Sitars in Brisbane do it differently.

Before you head over

Practical advice on order timing, sharing portions, and late-evening pickups

  • Allow Extra Time for Tandoori Dishes

    Tandoori chicken is prepared fresh to order and requires about 40 minutes of prep time, so plan your order ahead or call in advance if you want it ready promptly.

  • Portion Naan Orders for Sharing

    Naan flatbreads are generously portioned and can comfortably feed two diners, making it easy to order one to share.

  • Reliable Late-Evening Pickup After 8pm

    If you need a reliable dinner late in the evening when surrounding kitchens have shut down, express takeaway service remains prompt after 8pm.
