Never again!!! Do not order here. We ordered a paneer tikka masala to split between two people and there was a massive tomato taking up half the box so it wasn’t a real portion for £9.95. Also don’t order a tikka masala expecting it to be sweet!

Bang average. Bland rice, overcooked chicken. Indians would be insulted at the lack of fresh spice, coriander and chilli.

we are new to the area and took a chance on finding a decent take away. I have to say, it did not disappoint. food was piping hot(very unusual to find such a luxury), was very tasty. arrived 5 minutes after the delivery time stated but not a problem. our order was complete and everything from starters to mains and sides was amazing. can't wait to order again

Have ordered from Surma lots of times and the food is great but the portion sizes are pathetic, one should never have to order 2 portions to feed one person. Person on the phone argued saying they put 8 pieces of meat in, could only find 5 chunks of meat and the rest sauce. Not enough to fill anyone up.

I discovered this restaurant through JustEat as we wanted to try a different curry place for a change. Both dishes we ordered had flavour and tasted amazing. The chicken pieces were tender and cooked to perfection. The delivery was on time, food was warm and driver friendly. If I absolutely have to pick one negative thing then it will be the small size of the poppadoms as the were a bit on the small size for the same price as most other places. I would strongly recommend this Indian restaurant!

I'd been meaning to try a takeaway from Surma for ages but it had been incorrectly listed on TripAdvisor as permanently closed and I was a little perturbed by some of the reviews! However don't be put off - this is probably the best Indian takeaway in East Grinstead that I've tried so far! Surma has a large and varied menu that is particularly great for veggies. I chose the kadai paneer - which had a surprising kick to it! - but was so moreish! The puree bread was delicious and we served a portion of aloo gobi on top of it, which enhanced the taste further. Put simply, the flavours are delicious and authentic, the portions are generous, the staff are friendly and the food is ready at the time stated. There are many more dishes on the menu that warrant an order, so my advice for a great Indian takeaway is not to overlook Surma in favour of East Grinstead's better known Indian restaurants.

Been here for years, I love this place. Everyone is so kind, friendly and helpful. Sometimes I like to get my order delivered, it has been prompt, the driver is very polite and takes a lot of care with the food. Most of the time I like to come in and collect to benefit from the 10% off Cash & Collection discount. (They're next to the Wicks Vintage Sweet Shop by the way, it can be hard to tell that they are there if you haven't been to Surma before.) Love Surma, they work so hard and you can tell. I will continue to go there for many more years to come. Brilliant Indian Takeaway.

The king prawns were more like regular prawns and there were very few considering the cost of the dish. The prawns were also over cooked unfortunately, so they were very tough and dry. The onion bhaji’s, naan and rice were fine.
