A thread on the Calgary conversation board entitled 'Secret Restaurants' put Indian food on my brain this morning as the post was asking people to share some of their favourite, but less known spots.
My contribution come rushing to the front of my mind as I attempted to quiet my growling stomach through my last meeting before lunch. 'Shhh... sit still and be quiet just a little bit longer. I'll feed you soon' I promised my tummy as I attempted to hide the sound of the rumblings coming from my end of the table.
It's a good thing Surya is only a couple of blocks away from our office. My stomach would not have been impressed had I not delivered on the thoughts of their tasty lunch buffet that I had been tempting it with all morning.
The buffet is not a large one, but then again, Surya isn't a large restaurant to begin with. I would estimate that they can comfortably accommodate 40-50 people. But they always say quality over quantity, right?
My favourite part about the buffet would be the naan bread, the butter chicken and their rice. I know, pretty typical. But what my tummy wants on a lunch hour, it gets on days like today.
Reservations at lunch are not necessary, and the value of the food is far greater than the $15-$20 you'll spend on your meal.
