I was set on lamb with vindaloo but after trying the sampler realized I wanted something different (shocking I picked one with a coconut base). Their sauces are all delicious but different than what I'm used to so it was so nice to have that preview Not pictured was the stuffed naan. So good. We were sadly too stuffed to even look at the dessert menu but I can only imagine it was just as tasty as everything else

The service was good, although I said I wanted water and the girl charged me for a bottle of water, instead of asking me if I wanted a free cup of water which is settled on top of the cutlery/napkin station. I ordered the falafel wrap with fries. My friends each ordered the bao buns and deluxe burger, with sides of fries, sweet potatoes and chili fries. Overall it was okay but largely disappointing- especially for the price point. My one friend said the bao buns were delicious. My falafel was okay, but the fries were soggy and cold. My other friend said her burger was satisfactory. All in all, I could whip up something at home that's hot, savory and delicious for a quarter of the price. I'd your hungry and in a pinch for vegan/vegetarian food? Sure. If not, save your money and find somewhere else.

I walked here so this didn't affect me, but parking sucks so don't even try it lol or plan to walk a bit. I ordered the Cobb salad, and as a self proclaimed salad snob, I expected better. The portion size was fine but the level of freshness and quality were not great. A few pieces of the lettuce were wilted. The just egg doesn't belong. I get the concept but no. Cold just egg is not good. Other than that, the flavor was good. Would I get it again? No. Only if I had no other option. Plant-based restaurants need to come through and the salad needs to be exquisite because...ummm...salads are like plant based 101 The garlic bread was quite delish, as was the coffee cake muffin. I also got a Recess drink and two waters. The service was fine--young folks just working to get money. The ambiance is okay. It's clean and casual. There's a breakfast sandwich and smoothie I want to try, so I'll give it one more chance tomorrow. But as of now, I'm unimpressed and hesitant about my co worker's other recommendations :-(

And I've been missing out all this time?! Well, no longer. Surati is now my go to, to sate my exotic whim. This Caucasian family arrived on a sultry Friday evening. We had to wait until the monsoon had passed before we trekked to our destination. I mean to tell you, that it was a torrential downpour! But we were on a mission. As we approached, and before we even went inside, we were met with the intoxicating aroma of spice. I turned to my daughter, "uhhh Missy, I think that this is going to be epic." Oh yes, daddy, just wait. A very friendly gentleman greeted us at the counter where you order. The poor guy. He had to explain to us several times what we were ordering, as our western ears strained to capture through his thick accent. Every time he explained, and we couldn't understand, my daughters voice got louder as if that would make it better. It didn't, but it sure made it more hilarious! Communication was finally struck and so too an understanding. Our order placed, we found a corner table and settled in. It wasn't beyond our sensing, that us four were the strangers in this land. All the more appealing. It wasn't but for a few short minutes before our first dish found its way to the table. Now, before I go further, I have to warn you that I can't remember, much less, begin to pronounce the names of these items. I can only describe and tell you that they were all fantastic. Our first selection, was a platter of these crunchy puffed things. Our server explained, (a couple of times lol), how we are supposed to handle these delicate bites. "Punch a hole and put water in." We knew that he meant sauce, so that's what we did. Boy was that water ever tasty. Next were the Samosas. Yes, I know. I remembered that name. But only because my daughter kept saying get the Samosas, daddy, get the Samosas. I did, and I conquered. They didn't last long. Next up, fried spinach things. Those may have been the best of all. But wait, there's more....boy was there ever. The big dogs hit the table in short order. A giant crepe pancake stuffed with onion and potato, a spicy rice dish, and lastly a noodle dish. By the time we dug into these, the tanks were almost full, so half of it perfumed our car for the travel home. The only thing left for that evening was to engage with our dreams. At this writing, I'm still having a conversation with Gandhi while on a barge floating down the Ganges. Quick Tip: After indulging, head up the street to the Plaza Mariachi and grab yourself some cooked plantains at Tres Gauchos. Mmmmm plantainy. Those cowboys can sure rustle up a fine dessert. Muy Bueno!

Surati had been on my radar for a long while so when I drove past, I knew that I had made my mind up. Despite it being a Friday night, it wasn't very busy. The inside is small but not so much that you'd have a claustrophobic attack. Parking is easy (thankfully; a rarity these days) so after walking in... I sorta stood there. I'm not new to small mom & pops but I didn't quite know how things worked here and rather than call out, I waited to be greeted. I would have to continue to wait. No wanting to stand in silence with a nearly empty dining room, I asked about the ordering process. Maybe the kitchen (and front of house) was busy with online orders? My service was standoffish at best. Normally I would have left but open hours on Friday night can fluctuate and I didn't want to start over in another queue (it was after 7). Had I eaten in, I would have gone for a dosa. Not knowing how that would travel, I opted for Szechuan fried rice (medium). I hadn't so much as ordered and sat in a booth to look at my phone to waste some time when I was told my food was ready. Either Surati has the fastest chefs in the city or my food was not made to order -- and I certainly didn't experience the 'extras' other Yelpers describe. Not wanting to get into it, I paid and left. I came home to a generous amount of well-seasoned biryani rice and vegetables with just enough heat to let you know you're alive but not so much as to wreck your mouth. I took the W. Food was good enough and I felt that I got my money's worth. Everything else about my experience, though, led me to conclude that this would be a one and done for me. Onto the next.

The lunch buffet here is the perfect size with excellent chicken, goat, and vegetarian options. The food is delicious and so flavorful.

We ordered family-style, and every dish that hit the table was vibrant, aromatic, and made with love. The tandoori chicken was simple yet so comforting, it arrived in a sizzling skillet adding a hint of flare in the presentation. Each chicken piece was beautifully charred, and coated in a bold, smoky marinade. The curries were so rich and each one had its own personality. The creamy yellow curry from the Chicken Korma was very rich in flavor while the saagwala was earthy, well-seasoned, and not over-puréed. Personally my favorite was the chicken korma the curry sauce was just on another level, I highly recommend this dish. The lamb biryani was another highlight with fragrant basmati rice and huge chunks of lamb generously garnished with fresh cilantro. Bread lovers be warned! The naan was hot, fluffy, and perfect for scooping up sauces. We also tried the aloo tikki as an appetizer and they were crisp on the outside yet so soft inside. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a full Indian spread with friends or family, then make sure you check Taj out!
