Editorial Review for Surya – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Named after the Hindu sun god, this warm, welcoming space features a gorgeous dining room. Saffron-colored walls glow with richly colored photos of Indian scenes. The crisp tablecloths, hardwood floor, subdued lighting and jazz soundtrack provide the backdrop for conversation. Owner Sheel Joshi comes from a mixed Indian and Italian family, and his recipes combine both culinary traditions. Seared tuna tandoori is a unique spin on a California favorite, and saag paneer comes studded with farmer's cheese.

I have been eating at Surya, since it opened. It is unlike anyother Indian restaurant. First, the food is delicious and savory. Order every kind of Nan they serve. It is all delicious! The ambience is very warm and pleasant - no shrilly music or gaggy incense. The owner has made a great selection of beer and keeps the wine list fresh. If you are seekiing a buffet with things on it that look better in the dark, this restaurant isn't for you. If you want delicious, traditional food in a great restaurant Surya is for you! The owner is the attractive man that is on the floor. Ask him for help with the menu. Or, do as I do and tell him meat or fish and he will bring you something wonderful!

You pay for the star sightings and not for the food. Well, the quantity of food is next to none. The menu is priced for A listers only I guess. I have never seen a minimum order price per person at a restaurant. We took our little nieces who are small eaters, guess what I had to pay for their $15.00 minimum or else...hmm. If you eat morsel sized meals, and eat expensive morsels, this may be the place for you. Not for me and my folks.
Pros: star sightings
Cons: Expensive, small servings, minimum order pricing per person !
