****important and warning**** If you want to eat the Indian…read morefood here, you have two options: Option 1 - call in and order takeout Option 2 - preorder the food half an hour in advance if you are going to dine in This was our first time here. We looked at the reviews on yelp and they looked legit. That was how we came here to try their Indian food. We got to the restaurant, sat down, ordered and waited for food. We waited for more than half an hour. Before we arrived, an Indian lady had been waiting for so long that her face turned black already (I.e. she was very upset to wait for her takeout because of waiting for a super long time). I was going to rate this restaurant three stars before I tried it due to the slow pace of serving. My husband asked me to be patient and convinced me that the Indian food should be really good and it should be better than the ones we tried in Vancouver. Finally the food had arrived slowly and gradually!!!! Oh my god!!! The first dish of lamb curry and the second dish of palak paneer were really good. The chicken biryani and pulao rice were extraordinary that we had never had such good fried rice with many colourful ingredients and spices. The fragrance of each dish dispersed right in front of me. I was eating the most delicious Indian food in my life that I couldn't compare it with the ones in Vancouver! The Indian food in Vancouver was not as good as this one in surrey; plus the ones in Vancouver cost more!! The roti and naan were freshly made. So good!!! The mango lassi was excellent as well! It was not cold. It was at room temperature, but it went well with the spicy Indian food! What a good combination!! There is parking outside the restaurant. The food was so good that I really wanna come back here and try other dishes.

I sadly have to update my review with a lower rating.. I got takeout today and got another chicken…read moretikka masala, and their butter chicken to try. The chicken tikka masala wasn't as good as the first time, and for me, it wasn't too good in general. It felt like 70% of the dish was onion (whereas the first time there were barely any) and they gave me much less chicken than last time. I think the onion really took away from the flavour of the curry. I was really disappointed as this is my favourite Indian dish. However, the butter chicken was really delicious and hit everything I wanted. Spice, flavour, and adequate sauce! Not much chicken given here either though, which isn't something I would usually complain about if they didn't give me so much the first time I went lol. Now all I can think about was what could have been.. Takeout service was great! Came in to order, went off to T&T, and when I came back it was ready! While I was ordering I noticed that it was another quiet lunch day. Relaxing, casual atmosphere.

I was not expecting this restaurant to be as big as it is. The space here is truly massive, and…read morewhile it was mostly empty when we came at around 2:30 - I can picture the hubbub of activity that would be present during peak dinner hours. This does seem to be a highly recommended place to eat Indian food in Surrey. I had the Non-Veg Thali, which isn't on the menu, but the waitress helpfully let us know about. It's very customizable - and I went with garlic naan, rice, two tandoori chicken pieces, lamb vindaloo, and shahi paneer - all in a single plate! Pretty much everything was excellent. I'm not even sure where to start. The garlic naan was fantastic. Soft, buttery, with just a slight hint of garlic and lightly charred on the outside. I could honestly eat this by itself and be satisfied. Garlic naan is a staple of what I order whenever eating Indian food, and this might be the best one I've had. The shahi paneer was also great; tomato-forward, creamy, and the paneer was super soft. The lamb vindaloo was a real standout. It was immensely flavorful - not lacking for spice at all - but you don't just taste capsaicin - you taste all the cumin, cardamom, and garam mixed in with the curry. But the lamb itself is the best part of the curry; it's so tender and juicy. The absolute peak, though, was the tandoori chicken. These were two large dark meat pieces, which were cooked to absolute perfection - retaining so much juice and fat. The skin was a perfect deep orange, seasoned with a ton more spices. It's like eating fried chicken but without the breading, but this was arguably even better. The masala fries were the only thing kind of a miss - as they lacked any masala. The price of the thali was only 23 CAD. That's a pretty insane deal for how much food you get - I was unable to finish everything on my plate despite being very hungry. Honestly two people could share this and be satisfied. When you consider how much sharing and new orders for bread, rice, and curries goes on at your typical Indian restaurant, this is crazy good value. Overall, I would classify this as the best Indian food I've had outside of Asia. 9.5/10

There are 2 locations - this location can walk in to order any kind of samosa, while the other location will require preorder 1 day notice for samosas that are not the potato & peas original one. I went here on a Saturday 11am and there was a good amount of people picking up bulk orders, but since we wanted to try the quality of the samosas, we ordered by the piece. Each piece is around 1-2 CAD each which is very good price. We got 1 of each (potato & peas (original), garden mix vegetables, beef, chicken, paneer, and butter chicken). We got a small tamarind chutney sauce for 0.50CAD extra. Total was around 9 CAD which is quite a solid price for a meal for 1 person (snack for 2 people). I liked their potato & peas (original) the most and all their vegetarian options are solid. The meat options are more ground meat so I'm not that big of a fan, but they're still good. It's just the value lies in the vegetarian samosas. Next time I bring a cooler and order in bulk, to enjoy at the comfort of my home for multiple meals!

Raga restaurant 10608 151a St, Surrey, BC V3R 1J8…read more What a pleasant surprise. We checked out Raga tonight. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with friendly service. The atmosphere and the restaurant was pleasant the music was in the background where it should be and conversations at tables next to us we couldn't hear which made the dining experience pleasant. Hubby got a glass of the Gehringer Riesling and I had the Pfaff Gewurztraminer which paired perfectly with our meal and the spice level. Started off with the Punjabi style vegetable pakoras which was different as each component was individually battered and deep fried and to be honest was excellent because you get to enjoy each flavor on its own with the tamrin sauce or the mint chutney which were fantastic. Oh and it had the cutest mini Samosas I've ever seen that were yummy. For the mains we went with the classic Butter Chicken medium spice, which was rich, creamy, and the chicken was nice and tender. On to the Rajware Gosht mild, tender Lamb cooked in a cardamom, ginger, pistachio in a cashew nut Curry. Heavy on the cardamon side but the lamb was so tender it melted in your mouth. Last but not least was the Seafood Goan mild, perfectly cooked salmon, white fish and prawns in a beautiful coconut mint Curry. Has a slight sweetness that made you crave more. Perfect for dipping you Butter Garlic Naan bread in. Of course we had a side of plain rice. We were so full we didn't have room for dessert so now we have to go back so we can try the desserts lol. Our waitress Preet was excellent and super attentive making sure we had everything or if we needed anything. Even the floor manager came over to check on us and he was super nice. Overall it was an excellent dinning experience and can't wait to go back while they have their 50% off on food till August 15th and $5 beer and house white wines. Perfect time to try out some more new dishes. Lots of parking in the front of the Sandman as well as in the back .

It's clear thought and care has been put into the experience here. We were seated immediately by the friendly host/server. We ordered the recommended Gobi 65 cauliflower appetizer, garlic naan, our standard Butter Chicken, and the house specialty Chicken Chettinad (all medium spicy on the 3-point scale we were offered). Everything was absolutely delicious. The Gobi 65 was pretty spicy relative to the other dishes but still soooo good. To our surprise the Chicken Chettinad was the standout dish and one we'd highly recommend (and would order every time we return). Excellent experience overall and a place we'll definitely include in the local rotation. Highly recommend!
