Surya India

I travel for work, and often have trouble finding excellent Indian food in the cities I visit throughout the country. Thankfully, I didn't run into that problem in Houston! Surya is the place to go for flavorful, thoughtfully prepared Indian cuisine in an upscale yet comfortable environment. I've started every meal here with the delicious vegetable samosas, which feature a delicate, flaky pastry and a perfectly spiced filling of potatoes and peas. I'm totally addicted to these. I'm typically a fan of chicken curry dishes, and I've had the Chicken Mangalorean and the Chicken Korma, both of which are delicious. Chicken Korma is one of my go-to dishes at any Indian restaurant, and Surya's is among the best I've had. Rice and naan compliment the curries perfectly. Finally, the service is impeccable. On my first visit, I noticed the chef-owner, Sheel, making the rounds and conversing with his regulars, of which there appeared to be many. When I came back for my second visit, he remembered me from the last time and came over to introduce himself. Even though I'm only in Houston for a short time, Sheel has made me feel like a regular myself! I wish I could stay in town longer, if only to visit Surya more often!

In a non descript strip mall, this beautiful restaurant serves the best Indian food in Houston. While Aga's is good for grilling, this restaurant is the best for curries . We started with cauliflower fries, the batter was perfect. The shrimp mangalorian is to die for. It lingers in your taste buds the way an amazing story lingers in your mind. We also had perfect chicken bhuna and lamb. The chef is from the Taj restaurants in India, one of the best restaurants in India for high end dining. Yes, they dont allow kids, they dont allow shorts, but that is clearly spelt out in their web site. I guess their space is small for a kid to run around, but their food is amazing.

Wonderful experience! I wouldn’t normally leave a review for a delivery order, but felt an exception was due. Every single dish we ordered was amazing, portions were plentiful, and tastefully prepared. Compared to the more “well known” & more expensive establishments in Houston Surya is absolutely a must try top competitor!

One of the best restaurants in the city!!! Hands down. AMAZING FOOD! My two personal favorites are the Chili Chicken appetizer, and the Prawn Mangalorean. The fried cauliflower is fantastic as well. Even despite crazy inflation, and an insane rise in food cost, labor cost, and every other cost associated with running a restaurant, the prices are insanely fair for the SUPERIOR quality of food you will eat here. A premium product does require a premium price, but the value instilled in the food is worth every single penny spent. Great staff, that are all very friendly and attentive. Fantastic ambiance and overall a very clean, and welcoming establishment. I love the policy of no cell phones too! The owner has a focus to get humanity back to their roots of having a quality sit-down dinner, without the glow of your phone across your face the entire time. More places should adopt this policy, and many of the other policies of this restaurant. I do also highly appreciate no children being allowed in the restaurant. As someone who wants to often get away from the norms of everyday life, it’s so nice to escape to an intimate and quiet place.

#JoeFoodTour #RiceMilitary #WashingtonCorridor #Indian Surya Indian Restaurant is a must-try for anyone looking for delicious and authentic Indian cuisine. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, including classic favorites like butter chicken and biryani, as well as lesser-known options like dosa and vada. Love me some saag paneer. The flavors are bold and well-balanced, with just the right amount of spice. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with friendly staff who are happy to make recommendations. Highly recommend! #HowdyFromHouston #ThePropertyJoes #LivingLifeInHouston

Come eat here!!! Don't skip it... So I've had Indian food before and it was fine but this was sexy lol.. best way of describing. It was beyond delicious.. the food incredible, the staff was very attentive. They asked if you needed explaining and explained each option of rice and naan. Never felt rushed. The restaurant is clean and lighting is perfect. Food was delivered in good timely manner and looked very appetizing. I wish every restaurant followed this model. Great parking for the time being. Don't hesitate just try it...
