I would also describe the food as modern since there are some cool fusion dishes such as the mango burrata (I didn't end up ordering this but I wish I did!) I love lamb biryanis and this place has the most colorful and aesthetic lamb biryani I've ever seen. The samosas were also plated with a lot of creativity and artistic touches. Overall the food was very flavorful. I'm already thinking about my next bowl of biryani!

I want to start this review by giving a big shoutout to Pemba who was our server, he was so kind and took such good care of us and recommended really good items based on what we wanted. Everything I tried from here was 10/10! Some stand out items - :: Bombay pomfret fry - OH! The masala and coating on this was sooo good we were sucking on the bones till the very end. Such a great appetizer! :: Lasooni palak burrata - I was a little apprehensive about this at first because burrata and palak didn't seem like something I would want to try but I was wrong! This was one of my favourite dishes. It was such a delicious fusion item. For dessert, I would recommend getting their soan papdi malai khwaab and their malai ghewar. Not too sweet, just perfect. For drinks, aam pana with gin is the way to go. I really cannot wait to come back and order everything again!

Also, I felt that their curries were a little too saucy to the filling ratio. The tandoori prawns were nice and tender. The chana masala really surprised me. I had low expectations and really enjoyed it. The Garlic Naan was soo good. It had visible chunks of garlic on it. If you are a garlic lover like me, this is a must have. The saag paneer was also tasty. The gobi aloo was a touch spicy for me. This place is worth checking out. 4.5 stars

Beeryani offers Indian food, a view, close proximity to where we were and we like Thalis. We waited at their patio for them to open.

The Vegetable curry (whatever it is, is frozen bagged veg in sauce). The lentil dish was ok. The rice and naan felt like it was reheated. The dessert was bland. Is Indian food suppose to be bland.

Very good: moist, tender tandoori chicken; butter chicken in a velvety sauce; dahl with spinach. Exceptional: paneer in a creamy spinach sauce; biryani studded with chunks of flavourful chicken; and fluffy mango mousse. And let's not forget the unlimited baskets of garlic naan delivered straight to your table.... I would skip the pakoras and the aloo gobi next time as they were filling and unmemorable. At 22.95 for all-you-can-eat (or all-you-can-take-away in a container they provide), this place is a gourmand's bargain. We'll be coming back soon.

I was not expecting this restaurant to be as big as it is. The space here is truly massive, and…read morewhile it was mostly empty when we came at around 2:30 - I can picture the hubbub of activity that would be present during peak dinner hours. This does seem to be a highly recommended place to eat Indian food in Surrey. I had the Non-Veg Thali, which isn't on the menu, but the waitress helpfully let us know about. It's very customizable - and I went with garlic naan, rice, two tandoori chicken pieces, lamb vindaloo, and shahi paneer - all in a single plate! Pretty much everything was excellent. I'm not even sure where to start. The garlic naan was fantastic. Soft, buttery, with just a slight hint of garlic and lightly charred on the outside. I could honestly eat this by itself and be satisfied. Garlic naan is a staple of what I order whenever eating Indian food, and this might be the best one I've had. The shahi paneer was also great; tomato-forward, creamy, and the paneer was super soft. The lamb vindaloo was a real standout. It was immensely flavorful - not lacking for spice at all - but you don't just taste capsaicin - you taste all the cumin, cardamom, and garam mixed in with the curry. But the lamb itself is the best part of the curry; it's so tender and juicy. The absolute peak, though, was the tandoori chicken. These were two large dark meat pieces, which were cooked to absolute perfection - retaining so much juice and fat. The skin was a perfect deep orange, seasoned with a ton more spices. It's like eating fried chicken but without the breading, but this was arguably even better. The masala fries were the only thing kind of a miss - as they lacked any masala. The price of the thali was only 23 CAD. That's a pretty insane deal for how much food you get - I was unable to finish everything on my plate despite being very hungry. Honestly two people could share this and be satisfied. When you consider how much sharing and new orders for bread, rice, and curries goes on at your typical Indian restaurant, this is crazy good value. Overall, I would classify this as the best Indian food I've had outside of Asia. 9.5/10

I tried their lunch special (and from the updates I get, they have it on the daily now- I do recommend you calling ahead to confirm thou). Positive: every dish is flavoured, love how most dishes contain fresh curry leaves. Their vegetarian dishes were my favourites, and surpassingly more flavoured than the protein dishes. Was talking to the manager and the use of spices, I love how there were a cashew sauced dish that is in their menu rotation. Shahi Turka, new found favourite Indian desserts- is like a liquid barfi and the crunchy texture of rusk is perfection. Tamarind Tales is going to be hard to beat.

We got the look as if we were sure we were in the right place not in a bad way but as if we were sure that was what we wanted. Every time we have visited there was no wait to get seated in fact the place is almost empty. Just a few people at a time. They are very friendly and feels like family vibes and I love that. Like mom is in the kitchen. Dad got the front door and the boys are bringing in the produce from outside. Service is great and the family is very humble and proud as they should be. Food comes out pretty quick and you can always get a drink to keep you comfortable. I got a glass of Malbec my favorite. Two people two dishes we were reminded that it is a lot of food and would be satisfied. Thankfully! Wife loves butter chicken and I love korma but got the saag my second runner up. Garlic naan and rice... we were full! End of the meal my man tells us they just finished making dessert and brought us some great bread pudding. Unexpected but they did not charge us for it and seemed very gracious for us dropping in. I would also love to see more businesses like this! I hope they thrive in 2026 and continue to do so.

I always order my usual favorite, the hariyali kabab roll, but lately, it just feels like I am eating plain paratha--and a raw, undercooked one at that. The kabab itself has lost its flavor, and they barely add any sauces or onions anymore, leaving the entire roll feeling completely bland and dry. I really want to keep coming back here, so I highly recommend that management takes immediate action to fix the food quality. I genuinely hope to see some improvements soon.

I came here lunch time twice, and it was closed. Not sure what time they are open. It probably didn't make business sense to open in the morning. But it shouldn't say open 24 hrs.
