In Short
The long, rectangular dining room, with ultrasuede banquettes, dim lighting and a small swank lounge, exudes simplicity and warmth. As is Indian custom, the menu features no beef, but there are plenty of options for vegetarians. Two of the best are the simple vegetable birianyi (basmati rice perfumed with sweet spices and served with raita) and urulakilangu katrika koze (potatoes and eggplant cooked with mild spices and served with griddle-fried bread). Outside lies an unexpected, plant-filled garden.

This is one of the best restaurants in the city in terms of ambiance and service. The food was good, we were seated out in the garden and were tended to very well. Visited this place 3 years ago and am glad to see theyre still the same. The food was well cooked, I loved the eggpland and potato dish while my wife had the goat. Good food. Will def be back when im in the city again.

Terrible food. Took three bites and threw it away. Still looking for a good take out place in the west village. I miss Indus Valley on the UWS.

We love Indian food, but don't like the cheesy atmospheres that come along with most "authentic" Indian restaurants. The owners of Surya have finally succeeded in creating a restaurant with outstanding Indian food, and a trendy, swank atmosphere. The cocktails are fantastic, and we really enjoyed the outdoor seating. All of the ingredients tasted extremely fresh, and they used all white meat chicken in the chicken dishes. They have a ton of choices (both vegeterian and non-vegeterian) on the menu, and I can't wait to try all of them! The appetizer selection was also tremendous, and we loved the Onion Bhatias. We have been back at least once every 2 weeks since our first visit, and have not been disappointed. The only negative thing I have to say is that the waiter was visibly annoyed during one of our visits, and tried to push expensive appetizers and drinks on us. Other than that, every experience was fantastic.

What to Drink:
Wines are pricy, so stick with the quality beer selection or try one of the adventurous house cocktails, like the tandoori sour or the tajmapolitan.
