We went to Surmai yesterday and honestly, the food was fabulous. We tried the prawn thali, the special thali, and the paplet thali, and every single dish hit the mark. We ended up so full we could barely move, but in the best way possible.
Chef Sheetal came by our table and was so warm and welcoming, it made the whole experience even better. You can tell there’s real care that goes into the food here.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great meal...read full review

A little crowded, but a true gem of a place — Surmai for anyone looking to try authentic Maharashtrian thali food in the Bay Area (San Jose).
The food was delicious, and the spices instantly took me back home. ❤ The presentation of the thali was amazing, with a great variety of dishes and authentic flavours. Everything felt fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared.
The service was also excellent — friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout...read full review

The best place for Konkani/coastal-Maharashtrian food in the Bay; not only is the food exceptional, but also the staff makes you feel at home - credit to the entire team. Thanks and I will be back soon!

Surmai restaurant offers a delightful and authentic Maharashtrian dining experience with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The menu features standout dishes like the Konkani chicken masala, kolambi fry, surmai fry, and kheema pav, which showcase rich, spicy, and tangy flavors. The surmai thali is a must-try, with perfectly cooked fish and delicious accompaniments like solkadi, rice, and crispy kolumbi fry. The Indo-Chinese burnt garlic fried rice adds a flavorful twist to the traditional dishes. The owner is very friendly and the place is dog friendly. The renchar Pompfret was amazing, and the thalis, including the chicken and special thali, are a highlight. The chai was amazing. Surmai is a top choice for those seeking a memorable dining experience. Don't miss the mutton masala and shrimp kabab. The size of pomfret is surprisingly huge. Chicken biriyani is available only on weekends.
