Ilove food, talking about food and experienced different types of cuisine during the years I traveled around the world. I do not know if it is because of my French palate and the different food I have been exposed to, but trust me: I can eat any type of food. On this blog, you will find information about places where I eat (whether in NYC/New York, NJ/New Jersey or anywhere where I travel), recipes and various information related to food.
Some of you might know Surya, an Indian restaurant located on Bleecker. It used to be in another location on the same street before closing in 2012 because of a rent increase as well as damages caused by Hurricane Sandy. Three years later, the Sharma family restarted the adventure, in November 2015. At Surya, Chef Lala Sharma crafted a menu inspired by Colonial India, with the basis that, during the colonial years, the Indian culinary scene has been influenced by waves of settlers from England, Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands who arrived to the subcontinent and brought with them flavors unknown at the time. I met Chef Sharma who showed me how a nan bread is made in their tandoor, a sight that I always like watching as I never imagined before that it was done this way. First, you shape the dough. Then, you stick it on one side of the oven and wait for couple of minutes. You will see it bubbling and getting that char that is so delicious.
For beverages, Surya proposes a good selection of beers as well as some cocktails. I decided to go with a cocktail called The Cricket Club, composed of Goslings Black Seal rum, ginger beer, fresh squeezed lime and sugarcane. It was a quite refreshing drink, with not too much alcohol in it.
But the best appetizer I got was definitely Surya's famous baby lamb chops. Often, when I get lamb chops in an Indian restaurant, they are overcooked and a bit dry, if not tough. These were fantastic, perfectly cooked medium and tender, bathed in a delicious house sauce.
Then we went for a classic: Chicken Tikka Massala. I know that it has nothing extraordinary because you can find it anywhere, but I love this dish and could not resist. It was so good: creamy, flavorful with lots of delicious pieces of chicken in it.
With the dishes, we got some rice, as well as breads: nan (left) and roti (left). My favorite was definitely the nan that was fluffy and deliciously charred, with what I believe was a touch of butter on it.
Both desserts were delicious. The gulab jamun was, as expected, on the sweet side, however, I truly appreciated the fact that the kheer was not and it was difficult not to eat all of it. But, with all the food we had before, I had to resist...
I like Surya: they have some very good dishes with amazing flavors. This is definitely a place to know, outside of the well known curry hill. Would I go back? Definitely, and I will for sure re-order the lamb...
Our recipe has become one of the most appreciated in the world. The difference is in the seasoning, our foods are scented with the best herbs and spices, all combined in a unique culinary experience that will give you an unparalleled taste pleasure.
