“All were very delicious but especially loved the Lamb chops, so much that we ended up put in a second order.”
“They brought out plenty of Naan, finally a place that doesn't skimp on this Indian speciality.”

Delicious Indian food! I wasn't craving anything too heavy, so I got two apps, the baby lamb chops that they are known for, and the chili cauliflower. It really hit the spot, the lamb chops were juicy and cooked medium. The cauliflower had a roasted flavor with plenty of spices. I would eat here again.
After having a negative experience at another restaurant earlier in the night, Surya turned out to be our salvation. I had heard about this place before and walked by it many times on the way to the gym. After our last trip there, I imagine it will become a regular staple for Indian when we have to select a place with our friends.
First, I want to comment on the service. When we walked in, we were seated immediately and the manager (I think) explained to us their specials. The waitress was very friendly and always watching the table if we needed something. I even inquired if they had hand sanitizer to use since the bathroom line was long, since I'm a little OCD about eating. The waitress promptly brought me some spray and even sprayed it on for me (can other restaurants actually offer this, please ? ) . Throughout the meal, they were constantly checking up on us and they should be lauded for their excellent attention to detail.
The food was rocking, simple as that. We ordered 3 appetizers, Naan, Vegetable Samosas, and the Samosa Chaat. They brought out plenty of Naan, finally a place that doesn't skimp on this Indian speciality. The vegetable samosa was hearty and the Samosa Chaat was amazing.
For my entree, I went with the Tandoori Chicken. It was juicy, tender and came right off the bone. I asked for it mild, and it had just enough spice to make it interesting. Paired with some white rice and a Taj Mahal beer it was possibly my best experience ever at an Indian restaurant.
I'm definitely spreading the word on this place and am super thrilled that they deliver and I live 2 blocks away. Surya, you've made yourself a customer for life.
Entered on Saturday night at 9:30 pm and were seated quickly and warmly by the helpful staff. The place was pretty full, so we were lucky to get seats.
I began with a large Taj Mahal beer. It was a crisp lager that was perfect with the appetizers and entree. Our table of 3 started with an order of Naan bread, with a delicious tahini like sauce to dip it in. We also split vegetable samosas and Samosa Chaat, which was chickpeas mixed in yogurt sauce and a table favorite.
For my entree I had an old reliable Indian choice, Chicken Tika Masala. Many indian restaurants skimp you on the chicken, but I actually felt Surya gave a good portion size and the tomatoe sauce mixed with fenugreek was nice to have mixed together. I also sampled some chicken tandoori that was cooked great.
The service here really stood out, there were a few waiters/managers walking around making sure everything was good, and the food was brought out fairly quickly for the amount of patrons they had. I recently feel I found my new thai spot in the village, I think I can now claim to have found my go to Indian restaurant, well done Surya.
Stumbled upon this place and we were not disappointed.
The decor is modern and nice, the staff was friendly and the service was good. I like the fact that they had dishes from different areas of India! We started our meal with the ALOO TIKKI CHAAT which was absolutely delicious. We had a side of garlic naan, warm and tasty, and shared CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA & a lamb dish. The tikka masala tasted more tomatoey than creamy but still was good and the lamb was great.
Good food, good service, clean place!
Tried their lamb chops, chicken tikka masala and naans. Everything tasted great, however their lamb chops are out of this world and a must try – juicy, succulent , well-balanced with spices and grilled in the tandoor to perfection!
Surya has a history in the neighborhood — they closed their old location, further down on Bleecker, after Sandy. Welcome back, Surya, and thanks for setting up your new shop across the street from me, immediately becoming my go-to Indian restaurant, and likely my new default for lazy man nights out.
The food is excellent, the servers are attentive, and the decor is tasteful. You could hardly ask for more. They also have a happy hour at the bar until 8 pm, which is kind of a steal.
Looking forward to many more meals at Surya.
Wanted a relatively inexpensive Indian spot in the area with seating on a Friday night. About as difficult as it sounds – yet Surya had plenty of seating available while others were packed (not a great sign?).
Got seating next to the window and free papad with side sauces to start. Well made starter with sweet and spicy sauces depending on what you like. For the meal, ordered a Calicut Pepper Chicken ($15). Unlike some other establishments I went to, the dishes actually come with a heaping pile of rice. Flavorful sauce with enough chicken inside to justify the price. Also had a beer to wash it down ($7).
Service here is attentive and the ambiance is great for a date. Price is still a little higher than what I like, though you pay for the atmosphere. If needing a last minute restaurant on a Friday night, can't do much better than this spot.
