Came here on a Thursday afternoon. Needed no reservations. It was just us a party of 6. The restaurant looks good with tons of light and is clean. We ordered 3 starters. Sesame paneer fingers,chicken lollipops and corn chops and it was amazing. We ordered old Delhi butter chicken, garlic naan and tandoori roti. It was delicious. Order arrived very quickly like in 10 minutes. For dessert we ordered molten lava cake with Icecream it was simple and tasty. Would recommend to everyone. read more

Place used to be good, now not so much. Arrive at 2:15 and was given a menu with happy hour specials from 2-5. Website shows happy hour is 2-5. Order several items from the menu, even pointing to them on the happy hour menu. Get charged full price and when asked they said the sign board out front states 3-5 not 2. Go elsewhere read more

As usual the food is extremely fresh and delicious. I wish there was a little more garlic taste to the fried rice. I missed that solid garlic hit. It was very mild. The Manchurian was very soft and fresh. Do get this. read more

This place is a fam favourite!! We miss their Roomali roti, but the Pav Bhaji Fondue made up for it! We also ordered their two main sizzlers, amazing as always. The only thing I find funny is the extra charge for onions and chillies, no other Indian place has ever charged for this but I guess that's why this is a "Modern Taproom." The service was extremely slow on this visit, we had to flag down the server many times. Ambiance is always great here. read more

All right. This should have been done by me last month. Our family of three went to showshaa on 152nd. We are glad we did. Everything we ordered was made to perfection. Non-alcoholic drinks were perfect. We ordered sizzler, that was a great mix of Indo-chinese taste. Cauliflower-manchurian was crispy and tasty. But this is what I am here for. Channa-Bhatura (Chole-bhature). Cooked to perfection, Chole were the best. Not runny, not soggy, not light in color, not dry and well cooked. And for Bhature, let me tell you, baked bhature are not bhature, microwaved bhature are not bhature, in the name of healthy eating, most restaurants are virtually giving rotis and call them bhature. Not in Showshaa. Bhature were perfectly fried, and you know that the dough is fresh once you taste the bhature. In surrey, half of the restaurants do not know how to prepare and present chole-bhature, and I can say, because, I am trying new restaurants and their preparations for past 10 years. Not one I had found till date, that prepares chole bhautre as they should. Showshaa has ended my quest to find perfect Chole Bhature. If anything needed to be added is that keep the bhature, fluffy. Now, everything can go sideways, if service is not right. My apologies as I forgot the name of our server. She was cheerful and helped us selecting our food. Kept my little kid engaged and he was happy too. Her drink suggestions were great and she made sure that we are served on time. Will be visiting soon. Cheers. read more

Bit expensive but good quality is on point. Staff is very friendly and lot of space for dine in. Usually busy at weekends

It's hard to describe this place. Basically it's a pub and has typical pub food but it also has Indian food but it also has this fusion of the two which I recommend. Hope it's going well as it was dead in there and on a Saturday I went. read more

I was excited to try this place as I had discovered it on Yelp. We got the gol-gappa flights, showshaa signature sizzler, malai kofta, buttered chicken, and some garlic naan. The gol-gappa flights had a nice presentation and interesting taste. We were expecting the sauce to be warm, but it was served cold. We've never had anything like that before so we can't really comment on the taste too much. The showshaa signature sizzler was our favorite. It was like an Indian Chinese dish and had so much flavor and texture. The malai kofta and buttered chicken were decent as we've had better. Overall, the food was pretty good, service was great, and the place looked nice and upscale. read more

Absolutely love this place. I went here with a friend and it wasn't super busy (probably because we were there quite early). The food was delicious. We ordered mango lassi, sesame paneer fingers, chicken tikka masala, chilli paneer, assorted samosas. The staff were lovely and did great as well. read more

It used to be my go to restaurant before. I love ambiance and location. But after change in management everything is changed. Last time I visited this restaurant was around 6 months ago. Food - we ordered some platters that said to come with 6 type of chutney/sauces and it only came with 4. When asked to waitress, she said it can be changed by management at any time. Not only that they charged extra for that dish and she said prices are increased but not reflected on menu yet. I think they should let the customers know of price changes before they order. read more

Our go to Restaurant whenever we visit BC Canada.. Pretty Ambiance with Tasty Food & Service too.. it's just few minutes from US/Canada Border.. hence whenever we visit Vancouver from Seattle.. we definitely go there.. also it's open till late.. so a perfect place for us for late Dinner. read more

Moderate food with moderate service. Seekh kebabs were too chewy and butter garlic naans were plastic replica.

Pretty interiors and very spacious space indoors plus a good amount of seating on patio. All black paint gives it very pub look but its otherwise a fine dinning restaurant. Chandeliers were unique n beautiful. Too many bathrooms for both men n women and they were clean and full of toiletries. Mix of english , hindi music which gives it bollywood blended hollywood feel. The usher is always there to greet you and asign a table as per your choice. Many staff members make sure the whole experience is going smooth. I would rate the food choices as abundant and flavoured. All sort of dish had a twist of their own. Like samosa cocktail which is basically tiny little samosas. Big quantity of serving is good as well coz atleast two people can easily share a platter. For me pav bhaji was little too oily. I personally dont like chaat without bhalla but some places serve bhalla chaat and paprdi chaat seperatly. They just had one option. Since i was driving , non alcoholic beer was a good choice. Overall service is good . Location is little bit behind but a foodie can go anywhere for read more

Great food and ambiance overall. Loved their tandoori paneer in schezwan sauce. Liked their veg Manchurian too but they should not make it sweet. Ordered their paneer sizzler - the sauce was too sweet. I recommend making it regular spicy and not sweet. read more

Great food, excellent service, especially our server KK , lovely ambience , will definitely visit again

Great ambiance, great service and yummy food! Particularly liked the Pani Puri and the sesame Paneer fingers. So so good! They have a good selection of sizzlers as well. Dessert options are super interesting. Tried the falooda which was very nice. Will go back to try the other ones like the gulab jamun cheesecake. read more

Great place to take out! Ordered for pick up a few weeks ago and the place was hopping. Food ready in an hour, staff super friendly. People were welcome to edit inside instead of being locked out. A definitely place to go especially once things open up. Food is fantastic We were at the south SURREY location. Enjoy! read more

The appetizers are excellent. The main course is not so much. The butter chicken is subpar. It's a bit overpriced, especially for the amount they give you. read more

Setting: The restaurant is very modern looking and clean on the inside. Service: The staff were very friendly and polite. They checked on our table regularly and were very knowledgeable about the options on their menu. Food: The food was great. I find its kind of a mix with western, but still has great authentic Indian flavours. I will definitely come back since service was great, and there are so many items on the menu I would like to try! Tip to you: Try the paneer fingers. read more

Great ambiance. Really close to US border, so if you're driving north from Washington, it's easy access. Good food, really modern service. Loved it. read more

One of the reviewers indicated it's a hidden gem in Surrey: its evident you are an "out of towner" (Washington) for calling this place a gem. Another reviewer asserts the quality of food being authentic: says who? Space humans? My wife and I ordered two classic Indian dishes and quite frankly both lacked the real Indian flavor, using Tasty Indian Bistro as the measuring point. I am being very fair here as Tasty Indian bistro Indian recipes cater to not only Indians, but to westerners. There is a balance you need to find. The staff: excellent; Ambiance: good; Recommendation: try harder and find a real gem. Feedback to the owner: focus on enhancing your current recipes. This is key to the success of your restaurant and having customers coming back. As for now, you won't see me coming back anytime soon. Being in south Surrey, I don't see you having major issues with putting bums to seats but think of the bigger picture. read more

Fantastic new Indian restaurant that provides delicious food served with fantastic presentation. The menu has unique items and fusions done very well. The atmosphere is lively -- kind of browns style with nice Indian flare. The food was so good that I coMpletelyy forgot to take pictures! read more

A hidden gem of a place in Surrey. This upscale, trendy taproom has a chic decor and food bursting with flavor. We had lunch here today after driving from Seattle and everything was super delicious. The service is very prompt and personal. We started with tea which was one of the very best according to my husband.The Sesame Paneer bites was a sensation. Similarly, the Mumbai Prawns melted in our mouth. The handheld Paneer Taco was lovely and the accompanying fries were very well seasoned. My daughter had the Chicken Tikka burger which was super juicy and moist. We would come back in a heartbeat! read more

Went with a friend. Good happy hour deals. Tried four appetizers. Gol Gappa shots - must try! Really good flavor in the pani. Seseme Paneer Fingers - another really good appatizer. The sauce with flavourful, a bit in the spicy size. Fish Pakora - not great, bland batter flavor. Chicken Lollipop - also not that good. The flavor wasn't something new or different. Overall good food, service was really good. Would go back with a bigger group. read more

Lunch was great and the choices were plenty, very attentive server and even the manger came over to greet us. The portions were large enough and fresh. The masala fries were the best. Can't wait to try the dinner menu. read more

Indian pub food? I've never really tried it and honestly I didn't have high expectations for anything other than grease content. Was I ever impressed by the tasty snacks! My friend and I came dinner with appetites insufficiently suppressed and Showshaa had exactly the selection we needed. Seriously, their appetizer/share plate options hit the spot. At the recommendation of the server we ordered paneer sticks that came with a spicy yet sweet chilli sauce in a flight like presentation. We also ordered lamb popsicles because there was a photo of them that appeared when we were looking up food options nearby that drew us in Showshaa's direction. I was pleased with what we ordered. The complementary crisps however tasty, did bring the greasy vibes that I was expecting. Not saying that greasy is bad in the context of pub food - I just wasn't feeling it that night - not the crisps' fault, but I probably wouldn't order them. Service was friendly, solid on the paneer stock recommendation. It was a large dining and bar area that wasn't busy on that particular Monday night. Food arrived promptly. The hockey game was on TV. I'd be happy to come back when I happen to be in the area so that I could suggest this as a casual suggestion for a unique pub food experience to my friends. read more

We ordered the Paneer Shashlik sizzler and Chole Bature. The sizzler was fantastic. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a legit vegetarian sizzler. The chole bature was also really good. I would come back just for the sizzlers itself tho. The staff is very nice and friendly. Loved this place! read more

What a place! Everything from the food to the staff is perfect. The ambience is so mellow and cozy, and the food is mouthwatering.

What a beautiful surprise. Driving back to Bellingham, we saw the Taproom sign and thought, let's check it out! You must enter this marvelous location. Yes, they have beer.......but so much more. Emily was our superb server. This newly open spot had so much going on. The menu is exquisite and nothing like it anywhere, and we go everywhere. She explained a bit about Showshaa, then asked about how we like our spice. I am a more timid spicer while Mark could eat fire. She made great recommendations, explained that each dish is hand made at the time. We tried the Gol Gappa(?) Shots. Fantastic. Spice level was perfect for me. You can add Vodka and I am sure that would be amazing. We then had the Fish Pecoras and they were fresh, delicate and the sauce served with them was light, fresh and bursting with complimentary flavor. Next was the Sesame Paneer fingers. I LOVED these. They are like Indian Mozzarella sticks, but a million times better. Served in individual shot glasses with a beautiful chile sauce. All their sauces are made there and are amazing. The chips and sauce served first were amazing as well. That sauce is a chef secret and only he makes It! Next stop in we will do their Butter Chicken that is made fresh to order and as Emily explained the process, I wished I hadn't eaten earlier. We will be back. One of the owners checked on us several times, incredible service, atmosphere and food. Excellent value. Be hungry!!! Call ahead for Reservations Thank you Emily, great experience. read more

What an amazing new spot in South Surrey. With your first steps into the restaurant you get this feeling that the food is definitely going to be good. I've been here a number of times for a numerous occasions. Had to opportunity to sample a lot of the dishes they serve here. And my favorite is the Lamb Lollipops. Bursting with flavor in each bite, accompanied with a refreshing sauce. Being a brand new restaurant still trying to work out the bugs here and there. They ran so smoothly and always let the tables know if something was going to be late, if ever. They definitely take pride in their customer service. The thing that stood out the most for me were 2 things. The server I had for my first visit remembered us and it was shockingly amazing. It shows that those little things matter. Secondly, the GM Sunny, came to each table introduced himself and asked how were liking the food and everything. Also he exudes what he wants his staff to act with his customers. Like my server Sunny remembered that last time I visited and where we sat and what drink he made. If I could rate this place higher than 5 stars I would. "Wake up, Eat up, Work out, Beast mode" read more

When we were going home which is in Washington State They offered us no wait because they understand what we said about going home. And I don't think any restaurant can do that. That is so sweet of them. And the food is so yummy. read more

Showshaa is definitely our favorite restaurant. We have found consistently great food, great food quality and genuinely friendly service. We love this place and have had many meals as upscale casual, but not the upscale price. ShowShaa has a mix of fusion classics, with an Asian, Oriental influence. Thanks and we should be coming in more often. read more

Discovered one more gem for Indian food in Vancouver. We ordered sizzler and they were a-mazing. Ambience and service was cherry on the cake. Will definitely come back. read more

Awesome service and even better food. Chef Raun is top tier! I order from Showshaa 2-3 times a week and it has never disappointed! I would recommend the chicken biryani and the chicken tikka kebabs. Lionel is the most gracious and kind man I have ever met, if you see him say hi! My top recommendation! This is about the South Surrey location. read more

One word for the restaurant: Incredible! From the ambience of the restaurant to the service to the food, even the presentation of the food, simply beautiful. I am not a big fan of Indian food overseas, but Showshaa has changed my preferences, for good. I have never had better Indian food abroad as good as it was here. They are very creative with their dishes, with alluring presentation and plenty of options for vegetarians. The Chef is also very accommodating toward customising the dishes. The servers are very patient and considerate. The look and feel of the restaurant will surely give you the right 'Indian Vibes'. Made me feel nostalgic, and miss India, especially Bollywood. Must try dishes: Paneer Sesame fingers, Dynamite Cauliflower(not sure if it's even on the menu yet, the Chef was accommodating!), the Chef's special sizzler and the Gol Gappe Shots (the spiked ones) A great experience, definitely visiting again. read more

Great food, service, and ambience! The pani puri was as authentically Mumbai as it could be! It was such a sensory overload that as soon as I had the 1st one, I felt like I had entered Heaven! The smokiness in the Brinjal Bartha added a notch to the flavorful mix of spices already used. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an authentic Indian fare in a fine dining room. We also had the opportunity to interact with the owner and he really took care of us ensuring we had a good dining experience. I'd definitely drive down from Seattle again and again for the entire dining experience! read more

I rarely write a review but the food and the overall experience here, was so good that I couldn't resist. I came here on Sat night with family and we ordered Sesame Paneer , Gol Gappa and Tandoori Paneer. Each dish had a unique presentation style and was super delicious! I am an avid Indian food lover and I must say that I have never had better food in Northern America than this! For all the food lovers, this place is a must try! read more

Great food great atmosphere but booths are way too small and tight. Lady in front brought us to a 2-person booth that a normal size person couldn't even squeeze in with gut sucking in. Then she took us to a 4-person booth and still, the table is small and booth is tight but we dealt with it. Well, occasionally stepping over each other's foot. Lol! Other hiccup was they brought us used plates that were dirty. Anyway, again food was great and good for friends gathering but just don't sit at booths if u are a bit heavy set. read more
