   Sura Indian Bistro is fabulous. The decor is stylish and modern. The waitress was attentive and service was timely. The food was excellent, especially the lamb vindaloo. I like how they rated the spice level from 1-5, with medium (3) level working well for me. We had lemon ginger mocktails which were excellent. Next visit, I will try a cocktail. For the high quality of the food, service, and atmosphere, the prices were reasonable. There is an upstairs area which would be nice for a party. I am already looking forward to a return visit.

   We loved everything—from the flavorful appetizers (Chicken 65 and Tikki Chaat) to the Butter Chicken, Lamb Biryani, and the incredible Naan and Roti. Mani, one of the new owners at SURA, and his team provided fast, attentive service, making our experience memorable.

   The ambinece & vibe of the restaurant is great! the food was outstanding, we had a variety to choose from. However the vegetable curry options can do better. Also some better lighting will help. It was a bit difficult to read the menu card with the current lighting. But overall taste, quality, and service was excellent.

   Excellent Indian dinner. First timers and we were not disappointed. Fairly new place, but it was excellent service, ambience, and especially the food. Vindaloo was great and a nice spice at 4/5. My wife enjoyed her lamb saag. Will definitely return.

   We two shared three dishes, for a small plates light lunch: vegetable pakora, the chicken 65 appetizer, and eggplant (baingan bharta). Each dish was very tasty, offering a slightly different take on similar dishes we've tried in other establishments. The eggplant was particularly memorable. The restaurant is really lovely inside (though today, a cold day, we did get a bit of draft each time the front door opened). Background music was lovely. Service was very competent, but a bit slow, the only downside to a lovely meal.

   20 minutes after our apps, we asked where our mains were. We were told they’re currently working on them, which was fair as the place was packed. But after 2 tables that were seated after us got their mains, which was 45 minutes after we finished our apps, we asked again. We were told the waitress forgot to place our order for the mains. The food was ordered on the fly and out at our table 10 minutes later. We were there for almost 3 hours. We were kind of hoping for some sort of discount on the check for the inconvenience of about an hour wait for our mains, but we did not. Besides the logistical error, the food was phenomenal and we’ll def be coming back!

    The food was overpriced for the quality—it lacked flavor and wasn’t worth the cost. On top of that, the guy at the front was rude, which made the experience even worse. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.
