Sitar Indian & Thai Restaurant Korotogo: Menu, Prices and Visit Guide

Sitar Indian & Thai Restaurant is a casual, open-air restaurant at Korotogo Roundabout on Fiji's Coral Coast. It is outside central Sigatoka. The restaurant is open daily from 7:30 am to 10:00 pm, with breakfast from 8:00 am to 10:00 am and its dine-in thali menu from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Sitar makes the most sense for travelers staying around Korotogo, groups that want more than one cuisine, and anyone looking for a relatively inexpensive lunch away from a resort. The menu is unusually broad, covering Indian curries and tandoori dishes, Thai food, Fijian choices, pizza, pasta, children's meals and drinks. For a first visit, the lunch thali is the clearest value choice. Dinner gives you the full menu and a chance of sunset light from the open seating, but it can take longer when the restaurant is busy.

Is Sitar Indian & Thai Restaurant worth visiting?

Sitar is worth considering when you are already traveling through Korotogo or staying nearby. It fills a useful gap between hotel dining and a quick takeaway: you can sit down for breakfast, choose a low-cost thali at lunch or order from the larger Indian, Thai and mixed dinner menu. It is particularly useful when one person wants curry, another wants noodles, and children would rather have pizza or a familiar meal.

The main reason not to make a special trip is distance. Search results sometimes associate Sitar with Sigatoka or even Nadi, but the restaurant is at Korotogo Roundabout on the Coral Coast. Travelers based in Nadi should not read “near me” search results as meaning it is nearby. Travelers in central Sigatoka will still need a drive, taxi or suitable Queens Road bus.

This is also not a formal restaurant built around one short, highly specialized menu. The breadth is convenient, but individual dishes, preparation time and availability can vary. Check the current menu before leaving and allow more time than you would for fast food if you are on a fixed excursion schedule.

Where Sitar is and how to get there

The restaurant is on the ground floor of the Seafront complex at Korotogo Roundabout, Queens Road. “Korotogo Roundabout” is the most useful destination to give a taxi driver. The entrance, wooden Sitar sign and open bar are visible from the front of the building.

• By car or taxi: use the roundabout as the landmark and arrange the return trip before a late dinner if your accommodation is not within a comfortable walk.
• By bus: Queens Road buses serve the Coral Coast corridor, but express and local stopping patterns differ. Tell the driver you need Korotogo Roundabout and confirm the return service before relying on it at night.
• On foot: walking can be practical from nearby Korotogo accommodation. Check the actual route, lighting and weather rather than judging the distance from a map alone.

Open Sitar in Google Maps before setting off. If you are staying at Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort or another Korotogo property, ask reception for the safest current route and a realistic taxi fare.

Sitar Korotogo menu and 2026 prices

Sitar publishes four current menu files: breakfast, the main dine-in menu, pizza and pasta, and drinks. The table below gives representative prices from those 2026 menus, not a complete list. Use it to understand the budget and then check the official Sitar menu page for the latest versions before your visit.

These prices were checked on 10 August 2026 and can change. A full meal may also include rice, bread, starters or drinks depending on what is included with the selected dish. Read the current menu description rather than calculating the bill from one headline price.

How to choose from Sitar's large menu

The best choice depends more on the time of day than on a universal “must-try” list. For value and an easy decision, go during the lunch thali window. A thali puts several components on one plate and avoids ordering a main, rice and sides separately. It is also the most useful format for someone who wants to sample Indian food without committing to several full dishes.

For dinner, start by choosing a cuisine instead of scanning every page at once. Indian options include curries, tandoori dishes, breads and vegetarian mains. The Thai section includes noodles, curries and stir-fried choices. Pizza, pasta, Fijian dishes and children's meals make the restaurant easier for families, but they are alternatives to the core Indian and Thai offer rather than a reason to expect one narrow specialty menu.

Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices

Vegetarians have more than a token side dish here. The published menus include vegetarian thali, paneer dishes and vegetable-based Indian choices. Some dishes are marked gluten-free, which makes the menu easier to scan than one with no dietary notation.

Vegan travelers still need to ask questions. A vegetarian curry may contain ghee, cream, yoghurt or paneer, and the menu does not consistently label every vegan option. Say clearly that you need no dairy, egg, meat or fish products and ask the kitchen to confirm the chosen dish.

A gluten-free mark is not a guarantee against cross-contact in a shared kitchen. Anyone with coeliac disease or a serious allergy should call before visiting, identify the ingredient and cross-contact risk, and decide based on the restaurant's current answer. Do not rely only on a review or a menu icon for a medical dietary requirement.

Setting and seating at Sitar

Sitar occupies the ground floor of the Seafront complex at Korotogo Roundabout. The carved wooden entrance, open-sided bar and palm planting make it easy to recognize from Queens Road. Tables are set under cover in and around the open-fronted dining area, giving the restaurant a relaxed setting for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Some tables look toward the coast and can catch the sunset. If the outlook matters to you, ask for a coast-facing table when calling or when you arrive, since the view differs by seat and weather. The location is at the roundabout beside Queens Road, with the coast nearby rather than tables placed directly on the sand.

What recent Sitar reviews indicate

Recent public feedback is mixed rather than uniformly glowing. Positive comments repeatedly mention the broad menu, vegetarian choice, portion size and value compared with resort dining. Garlic naan, Indian curries and family-friendly variety appear often in favorable accounts.

The most consistent limitation is variable service pace, especially when the restaurant is busy or a table places a large order. Diners also disagree about seasoning and spice level, which is one reason to explain your preference rather than assuming a dish will match the version you know at home. Reviews are useful for these patterns, but they do not replace the current official menu, opening hours or a direct allergy conversation.

Best time to go and when to book

• Breakfast: arrive between 8:00 am and 10:00 am. Opening at 7:30 am does not mean the full breakfast menu starts then.
• Best-value lunch: use the 10:00 am to 3:00 pm thali window. The published thali offer is dine-in only.
• Sunset dinner: arrive before local sunset if daylight matters, but request a suitable table because the same view is not guaranteed from every seat.
• Late dinner: do not treat the 10:00 pm closing time as a confirmed last-order time. Call before traveling if you expect to arrive late.

A booking is sensible for a group, a weekend dinner, a special occasion or a dietary request. Call +679 650 0056, +679 233 3002 or +679 786 5573.

How to fit Sitar into a Coral Coast day

From Sigatoka, a practical plan is to visit Sigatoka Valley Market in the morning, then continue to Korotogo for lunch. The market is an independent stop and is not presented as a supplier to Sitar. History-focused travelers can instead combine lunch with Tavuni Hill Fort, allowing enough time for the drive and the fort's current visitor arrangements.

If food itself is the activity, compare Sitar with a Fijian cooking class in Sigatoka. The class is a separate experience and is not connected to the restaurant. A guided rainforest nature walk can work earlier in the day, followed by dinner when you no longer have another timed activity.

For a different evening setting, compare the menu with Ocean Terrace Restaurant at Bedarra Beach Inn. Ocean Terrace is a covered poolside veranda with a lagoon outlook, not a restaurant on the sand. Travelers continuing farther along the coast can also review Tambua Sands as an accommodation option without implying that it has any connection to Sitar.

Advantages and limitations

Who Sitar is best for

Sitar is best for Coral Coast travelers who want to leave their resort for a casual meal, vegetarians looking for several choices, families that need familiar alternatives, and budget-conscious diners who can use the lunch thali window. It also suits groups that cannot agree on one cuisine.

It is less suitable for someone in Nadi seeking a nearby restaurant, a traveler who needs a guaranteed quick meal between timed tours, or anyone choosing a venue specifically for tables on the sand. For a serious allergy, call first and use the restaurant's current answer as the deciding factor.
