WELCOME TO SURYA

Upscale Indian Dining in Houston

I invite you to share in my culinary journey.

I began as a child of Indo-European background, learning the fundamentals of cooking from my mother. As an adult, I expanded my culinary training in the Far East, Europe, and the US, and have cooked Italian, French, and Indian food in restaurants for nearly 25 years. In Los Angeles, I owned and operated Surya for over a decade and then launched Holy Cow, a casual concept for eaters on the go. Now, Surya of Houston is my dream fulfilled.

At Surya, we present traditional North Indian food with respect to heritage: no gimmicks, chili meters, or buffets. We also appreciate the adventurism of today’s palate and borrow dishes from the South of India. For personal inspiration, I connect with my mother’s skill in the kitchen and my father’s integrity in business. Surya is a gift to their memory.

WHAT CRITICS SAY

Reviews

"[T]his Heights gem offers signature dishes like chicken korma, lamb saag and lentils spiced with ginger. The forward-thinking Joshi puts as much effort into sides as his mains."
"This is the kind of restaurant I’ll be likely to put on my personal rotation."
