A sleek Indian bistro that boasts a charming garden. – 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 ... read more

Fantastic Indian Food – Surya is an example of how a great small restaurant should be. Simple yet asthetically pleasing decor, GREAT food that is moderately priced, and an attentive wait staff. The nan and chicken masala is to die for. The specialty drinks are quite good but, I would stay away from the wine which is overpriced.

Favorite Indian in NYC – My husband is Indian, and we frequently dine here for authentic Indian food. We even take our picky family here, and they enjoy the food as well. Great service, nice decor, and the food is consistently excellent. A cozy and comfortable atmosphere make for a great dining experience.

Nobody does it better !! – I have loved this restaurant from the first time Ive gone there and now everytime I visit New York. Not only is the food the best, but also the service is more personal and efficient then anyone Ive experienced. The food is as authentic as in India, please by all means ask them to spice it up to India levels..they would happily do it for you. The Chettinad and the Sundal are my favourites, the cocktails are unlike any youve ever had, and the mango ice cream is a great end. Try the garden out back i... read more

Terrific Food – I have to say, having eaten at numerous Indian restaurants in the city, this is some of the best Indian food I have ever had. The atmosphere is very nice in this quaint Village hideout. The service is a little wanting but nothing to get upset about. And frankly, to try the food it's worth it.

Great Food. – Having visited India and lived in London Surya is the closest Ive found to authentic Indian food in New York. The food is clean, fresh and spiced right. The ambience, service, music are all plus points which help differentiate this spot from the other desi resteraunts in New York. Great martini's and delicious desserts. The garden outback makes this a great spot in the summer.

GO ! – Surya was one of the best India resteraunts in NYC. Right from the time I sat down, everything was perfect, the atmosphere was calm, the service was very curteous, friendly and knowledgeable. My recomendation's would be the Tandoori mix grill and the Chettinad, the grill was simply superb, just the right portions and well spiced, the chettinad was pretty amazing too. The bartender makes a pretty wicked Cosmo, and the desserts are just delish. Nice little find.

Preeti – It was a great experience. The food was excellent and the service was superb. Their Host Romie was very helpful and courteous. He helped us to choose the right dish. Don't miss their appetizer Chicken Tikka and entree Fish Curry.

Pretty Good – Food was very good...esp. Chicken Chettinad. Serive was helpful, quick, and friendly. Room was nothing special...certainly nothing wrong with it. A little on the pricey side...$16 dollar entres. Good experenice, though.
