Came here for a dinner with a large group, and they were incredibly accommodating. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent, as were the drinks. Would come back again.

Interesting menu with lots of choices. The kababs were extremely salty. Paneer dish was very few pieces of cheese and lots of spicy sauce. The eggplant appetizer was very good but spicy.

THE BEST Indian in Phila. Hands down. We are allaying looking for good flavorful Indian and it's super rare. Sura is lightyears above the others. The menu is broad and creative. The food was excellent - and we tried 6 dishes and 3 types of naan. The server was attentive, knowledgeable and happy to be there. The interior is beautifully done without being gaudy. All the chairs were made for comfort - not straight back wood (admittedly a personal peeve of mine). GO to this undiscovered...
