| - Excellent East Indian food, but not cheap at all. I've not been to India, so I can't tell you if this is "authentic" but I spent two years in the United Kingdom and Surahi hits the mark for exported Indian meals and cooking style. All the usual favorites and expected sauces and the prices are clearly marked on the menu.
Good service, but I could tell that the one woman who was serving needed a bit more help than just having one girl there to bus tables. She was running ragged but still managed to do so with a smile.
I had the vegetable samosas to start. They were nice and spicy, served plenty hot with a small dish of dipping sauce. Right out of the fryer, I am sure.
For my main, I chose the Lamb Rogan Josh, basmati rice, garlic naan bread and a dish of cucumber/carrot riata. The lamb had a deceptive heat to it that I didn't notice until the first couple of bites went down. By that point, it was a good thing that the riata was there to cool things off. The garlic naan had a TON of garlic on it and it was just the right amount of soft and crunchy.
Domestic and North American beers on the beer menu plus the usual lot of Indian beers. I saw one guy drinking Stella, which makes absolutely no sense to me. Why not get a Kingfisher or a Cobra, dude?
All told, my meal was $40 with tip. A little expensive for one person with a beer and a starter. Two people sharing the rice and the naan might be able to get in and out for less than $60.
