The Mango Lassi was a creamy and refreshing delight, providing the perfect respite on a warm day. We couldn't resist trying their Signature drink, the Blue Hawaii, which was not only colourful but also served in a fun and quirky hanging basket glass. As for the appetizer, we opted for the Honey Chilli Cauliflower from their Indo-Chinese menu, and it struck the perfect balance between sweetness and spice. Of course, we couldn't leave without experiencing their renowned tandoori dishes. Thanks to the unique spices and clay oven cooking, the Malai Chicken Tikka was incredibly tender and flavoured. For the main course, we tried both the lamb and vegetarian offerings. The Tawa Lamb truly stood out with its rich blend of spices, while the Sham Savera, a spinach and cottage cheese dish, offered a unique and delicious vegetarian option. Overall, the delightful food of Curry Lounge left us completely satisfied, and we're eagerly looking forward to our next visit for another round of delightful Indian cuisine. Food: 5/5 Must Try!

Paneer is not fresh and taste like it was cooked from frozen which gives a weird texture. The shrimp tandoori is good but it came out raw and this is the 2nd time eating there. The daal was delicious. The yellow and black were both delicious but wished it was a bit tastier with more spices. Not sure if the chef is new or is just starting out... but please start tasting your food before sending it out because it all looks great... but lacks taste. I am hoping that you do better because I don't want to give up on you....

It's the Indian Chipotle! Wish we had more of these in the US because this was SO GOOD!…read more Stopped by here on the way from Vancouver to Seattle, and it's worth the stop. Surrey is also a city that I wanted more time in, very cool place. Ordered the burroti (chicken/lamb) and it was magnificent. Super savory, rich, and each bite got better. If you are venturing out and aren't typically a spice person, aim for getting the tikka and butter chicken sauces - they have the slightest spice kick and are ridiculously yummy. ALSO - would highly recommend the peach/mango chutney! It is highly favored at the restaurant and adds so much complexity to your meal. The staff was super patient and friendly, and took their time with us as we ordered. We love Indian food, and this stop will be one we have again if we're ever in the area!

It was Friday night ~7pm and this place and huge and quite empty. We thought this might be a sign that this place is not good but we were soooo wrong. We could not understand the menu so we had to ask the servers to give us recommendations and they were really nice. We ended up ordering a "stuffed potato naan", a lamb curry and a samosa chaat street food dish. And man they were delicious. I've never had a stuffed nan before and it's just so flavorful I have no words to describe it. The dipping sauce that came with it were amazing as well. The lamb curry was also good, but I know how curry tastes so it wasn't as surprising to me. The samosa chaat was very flavorful, spicy and the samosa adds a very nice crunch. This place is really good and I am craving for more as I'm writing this

Wow! A hidden gem of deliciousness! I can't even begin to explain how tasty this Indian restaurant…read moreis! This restaurant is totally underrated. From the moment you step in, you know you're in for something special. It was a delicious experience from first bite to last! Every dish is full of rich, layered flavours that truly capture the essence of Indian cuisine. The spices are balanced perfectly, and everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared. It's rare to find a place where every item on the table feels thoughtfully prepared and full of flavour. Each bite was deeply flavorful without being overpowering, and the aroma alone was enough to make the experience unforgettable. The balance of spices in every dish was perfect, creating a harmony of flavors that left us craving more. Every single dish was absolutely delicious...you can truly taste the love and care the chef put into it. The food was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned. Each bite was pure comfort, and the flavors were deeply satisfying without being overwhelming. The fish tikka was served sizzzzling hot! The Hunny Chilly Cauliflower is a must, seriously addictive! It had the right sweet-spicy balance! And the Vada Pav Sliders were just as satisfying! Every dish was bursting with flavour, each one seemingly trying to outshine the other! It truly felt like the dishes were competing among themselves for our attention -- and we loved every bite. The butter chicken was an absolute hit! But dip some garlic naan into it and it's game over! The butter chicken was comforting, nostalgic, and unapologetically classic--proof that when done right, simplicity is everything! The garlic naan was perfectly crisp at the edges, soft inside, and fragrant with just the right amount of butter and garlic! If you love rice you cannot miss the pulao! I cannot stop raving about the flavour and spice of the Karahi Chicken. And paired with the butter naan, it's an elite combo! The dishes are fresh, well-seasoned, and full of authentic taste. The staff made recommendations of some amazing food that I normally wouldn't have tried. You can really tell the food is made with care and authenticity. What I really appreciated was that the spice level could be adjusted to our liking - such a thoughtful touch. A big shoutout to the chef- thank you for putting so much heart into the food. You can really taste the care and balance in every bite. But what made it even more special was the amazing hospitality -- the owner and staff were so warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about food. They made sure everything was perfect, gave great recommendations, and always checked in at the right time without being intrusive. Service like this truly elevates the dining experience. They took the time to explain the menu in detail, offered thoughtful recommendations, and genuinely checked in to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell they truly care about the experience they're providing. The food is simply outstanding--modern Indian cuisine at its finest. Every dish is a delightful fusion of bold flavors, creative presentation, and authentic Indian spices, elevating the entire dining experience. You can tell they've put real effort into keeping the traditional taste alive. From the taste to the service, everything was top-notch. From the location to the interior, everything fits the vibe perfectly and feels authentic the moment you walk in. Combined with friendly service and a comfortable environment, Kesari is a place that invites you to stay, savour, and truly enjoy your meal. We will definitely be visiting again -- and more often. Do NOT sleep on this place for some good Indian food!
