Review of Surya
Elizabeth Thompson
The bustling establishment, specializing in Indian cuisine, is often packed with patrons, so it might be a good idea to secure a reservation in advance. The majority of the culinary offerings were quite enjoyable, barring the fried rice which seemed to have been prepared with a touch more oil than customary. The Naan bread, a traditional Indian staple, was authentically made and very palatable, and the butter chicken dish did not disappoint either. However, the crowning jewel of the meal, the dish that stood head and shoulders above the rest, was undoubtedly the Tandoori chicken. Beyond the food, this Indian eatery is also known for its lively atmosphere. The buzz of animated conversation filled the dining area, creating an infectious energy that added to the overall dining experience. The wait staff was attentive and friendly, further enhancing the charm of the establishment. In terms of the menu, one could find a wide array of Indian dishes, each with its unique blend of spices and flavours. The fried rice, a dish typically appreciated by many, was slightly disappointing due to its unusually oily texture. However, this was more than made up for by the other dishes. The Naan bread, freshly baked and served with a generous helping of butter, was a delight to the senses, as was the butter chicken that was cooked to perfection, its rich creamy sauce a testament to the skill of the chefs. Yet, the ultimate gastronomic treat was the Tandoori chicken. Marinated in a blend of traditional Indian spices and then grilled to perfection, the dish was a symphony of flavors that left a lasting impression. Conclusively, this busy Indian restaurant promises not only a range of delectable dishes but also an authentic experience of Indian dining culture.
