The Surma in North Lincolnshire

Rarely write a review unless exceptional and they deserve it... The food was outstanding- huge pickle tray, 8 options. We didn't get starters but the mains were fantastic- even a run of the mill bhuna my friend got was delicious. I had one of the specials, lamb agost or similar with toasted cardamom pods, it was outstanding. The breads were loaded with butter & garlic, the rice was perfect, the lager was cold. The service was also excellent from start to finish. First time I've been but looking forward to going back again. 4 pints, 4 popadoms, 2 mains, 1 rice, 2 breads- £54. Well worth it...

Oh wow, what a lovely little Indian restaurant. Sal the waiter was very attentive, nothing too much trouble they had ran out of teabags as thats all I wanted to drink and he got a member of staff to go get some. The food was amazing, very well cooked and fresh Naan breads were as my husband said best he's ever had Definitely be going back

Lovely food, lovely staff. Not a busy restaurant but really nice service. I highly recommend the Tandoori king prawns for a starter.

Had takeaway but have sat in before and service was good.

Best Restaurant! I’ve been coming to this restaurant for years and I absolutely love it. The staff are so friendly and attentive and they are genuine and really get to know you. The food is so delicious and moreish too. I took my daughters for the first time to eat in the restaurant (rather than getting a take away) and they had the best experience and loved the food too. The staff were friendly and made them feel welcome and special. My eldest even wanted to take the chef and staff home with us so they can make ‘yummy food all the time!’

Family meet last night 24.09.24 and had a fantastic time. The food and service were second to none. Would highly recommend

My go to takeaway when I’m hungry

Great restaurant, polite and friendly staff. The food was delicious - best meal out in a good while. Would highly recommend.

Cracking meal. Great service. Highly recommended 5*

Dined this evening with friends and children. Food was delicious and smelt divine to say the least, and the service was fantastic. Absolutely recommend tasting the delicious food served at The Surma, will definately be returning.

Best Indian we’ve ever had! Staff were lovely, great service. One of our family members had dietry allergies and they dealt with it with no problems. Highly recommend and we’ll deffo be going back

We had a wonderful meal with great service… The atmosphere was really friendly and we will most certainly be going back.. Highly recommend xx

We came in June 2023 with a friend because I was craving a really good Indian. We live in the USA and we come back once a year. Now, for 2 years in a row, we have come to this place. Exceptional service and exceptional food - my only complaint (if you can really call it that) is I am uncomfortably full afterward because it was all so good!

Been a regular here for nearly 28 years and a couple of lulls over that time. The chilli chicken masala has just been tweaked and is awesome! Spicy but not unbearable and plenty of garlic. Kingfisher on tap now too which is nice. Try the sheek kebab as a starter.

Absolutely impeccable service alongside the most beautiful food. Would definitely recommend. Price was really good for a table of 4 having starters, mains and sides.

Excellent service and food as always.

Called in for a quick meal. Quite a few in. Food was lovely, service a bit slow to what I'm used to. Had to chase them up for main course

Absolutely excellent service and fantastic quality food. Great chaps highly recommended 👌

me and my family have been tonight for a birthday and have been coming for a few years, we absolutely love it! super friendly and chatty staff, cosy interior and gorgeous authentic indian cuisine. i could not recommend this place more, definitely making sure my boyfriend tries it soon :)

The food was amazing, really flavourful curry. Staff was amazing really welcoming and friendly! Overall a perfect place to get good food

Great staff great food me and the family love going here always enjoy it and have a laugh with the staff will do anything they can for you. The food is always amazing never have any complaints

Always a great time at the Surma, food is always great, staff are friendly and cater to every need, the mixed grill and onion bhaji’s are the best I’ve ever had.

genuine Indian food, really enjoyed The hosts were super friendly enjoyable music place well designed and organised

Very friendly and professional service. Always a warm welcome and we feel more like friends than customers! The food is consistently very good with an extensive menu ( great chutney tray!) . Many thanks for another good night !

As a family we have frequented The Surma for many years and have found the staff to be really friendly & professional. The food is second to none. However the main reason for this review is because in the last year my husband has not only had to deal with becoming a coeliac he is also nut and lactose intolerant. This has not phased the Surma team they have gone above and beyond making sure that his food is not only tasty but that it is has not been cross contaminated and there is no dairy or nuts in his meal.So far they have had a 100% success rate, which has made it a firm favourite with my husband. Looking forward to our next visit to The Surma.

Went on Monday night as a last minute stop off. The staff was absolutely amazing for company and a good chat. But mainly when you go to a restaurant, is for the food! That is definitely 5 stars! So to the great layout, serving staff. Then the chef you never see unfortunately! We will be back! But definitely next time I need to meet the chef!!!

Brilliant restaurant one of the best curries we have had and great customer service couldn’t ask for a better place to eat out

We have moved to Gloucester and really struggle to find a decent Indian. Back here for a couple of days and our first meal out had to be at the Surma. We were absolutely delighted to find the staff still just as friendly and the food second to none. We were greeted with warmth and friendliness. The food was amazing. It was tasty, and some of the best Indian I can ever remember eating. For great food and an ambience that helps you relax you cannot go wrong. Excellent menu with a great deal of choice but they will also accommodate your own choice of spice heat. I cannot wait to come back. Not too expensive and a great choice for a night out.

Amazing experience! Food incredible. Sal the chef an incredible cook his food was amazing... Best most succulent tandoori mixed grill i have ever tasted... melt in the mouth... would highly recommend. Excellent food and service... check it out if you want a truely exquisite culinary experience. Extensive menu nothing too much trouble... value for money and friendly approachable service. Will be back soon.

Another fantastic meal at the best Indian restaurant in the area. Everything cooked to perfection as always. Never disappoints

The food is easily 10/10 absolutely lovely 100% recommend. The balti i had was lovely perfect amount of flavour credit to the chef!

Food was excellent and great for money,atmosphere very cosy and inviting,friendly kind staff. Will definitely come again

We took the family last Tuesday, was absolutely amazing. Great service, and the food was hot/perfect. Was cheaper than we expected too! Best Indian restaurant we've been too ... Highly recommended!!

Good food, good atmosphere. Never been before I was recommended by friends and checked trip advisor - lived up to its reputation.... You won't be disappointed.

Another surpurb evening at the Surma Restaurant. My go to Indian restaurant. This time with my daughter in law and 2 grandkids. As usual the food was delicious, the service was excellent, the atmosphere great. The staff go above and beyond to make sure your welcome. Say no more.

Fabulous food, the naan bread was so light and delicious. Nice interior, very clean. Front of house staff were friendly and attentive. Chef popped out to chat and check we enjoyed our meals, will def be back.

The surma is a brilliant place to eat. Catering for all dietary requirements too! The vegan options are out of this world & if you want something a little different they are more than happy to switch it up & cover all you need. The...

Brilliant meal. Fabulous pickle tray and poppadoms. I've never had kashmeeri rice before but I'll certainly have it again! The staff are very good. The spiciness of my main meal was adjusted without any fuss.

Very disappointed. Food not up to standard.

Our first time in Barton as we're from East Anglia, but definitely will come back next time we travel up on the way to Hull or Yorkshire! Perhaps the best Indian food we ate. I know, that's pretty subjective, but we were so happy with...

I don't need to say much other than "The best Biriyani I have ever had." Full of flavour and i had a vindaloo strength sauce and didn't burn to death inside, hot as it should be but more flavour than i have tasted in previous...

Surma serves fabulous food with great service. Staff are always friendly and happy to help the food is freshly cooked and delivered promptly.

No word of a lie, Surma is my favourite Indian restaurant ever. I live in Hull but order from Surma when am visiting Barton, and if I could afford would order delivery from Surma and have it delivered to Hull over any Hull restaurant. I...

Called in at the Surma Restaurant last night ( 18th May ) with my granddaughter and her partner, and as usual was welcomed as if we'd never been away . All the team are so friendly and can't do enough for you. The food was...

Fantastic friendly service as always. Great lager served, the food was brilliant - I still believe this to be the best Indian restaurant in north Lincolnshire. The Surma special dishes certainly set this place aside from the others in the area. The prawn purée to...

Went with family. Was seen to straight away. Received a warm welcome from the staff as we entered the door. Service was excellent. Received our food almost immediately after ordering. Now for the food, I ordered a chicken biryani for the main. It was the...

We had a lovely takeaway and the staff were very friendly, the food was great as well. Thank you to Sal who served us, he was very helpful.

The food was nice. Service not so good, the member of staff serving us spent most of his time looking on his mobile phone stood near the bar area picking his nose in between. Put me off my food and not sure I will return...

The best Indian restaurant in Barton and surrounding areas, staff are always the kindest and most welcoming staff, and food is always cooked to perfection. Great portion sizes as well.Been regulars for over 2 years now and are yet to find anywhere we prefer. 100%...

110% would recommend this place to anyone. Best Indian food I’ve had. Staff are really nice and friendly. Me and my partner are yet to find an Indian we prefer.

We travel half an hour to eat at the Surma, worth the journey every time! The most friendly service and best food around, pickle tray is the best we’ve ever had!! Would recommend to any one looking for tasty Indian food, friendly service and a...

Highly recommend The Surma. The food is full of flavour, friendly polite staff, we had a fab night here, defintely returning.

Lovely ambience and friendly staff. " Lamb Talana" with chef's special blend of spices was beautiful.

Enjoyed fabulous food with friends this evening. Staff very friendly. Excellent value for money. Will definitely be visiting again

This is my favourite Indian restaurant to visit in Barton. Always a good meal and great service and atmosphere

It's my first day in Barton and I was looking for a delicious meal. The surma was the perfect choice , the people working are so friendly and helpful. They made sure every minute if everything was okay and they offered to help if i need anything in barton. The food was okay, my favourite was the papadom and the sauces that came with it. The veggie sambosa was a bit spicy but delicious. The butter chicken was good but the rice looked like it was re heated which made it a bit chewy. Overall, I would visit them again for sure🙏🏼

Worst Indian in Barton. I ordered two mixed starters and the lamb came so dry it wasn’t edible. We rang to order more popadoms which never arrived I ordered 3 online and asked for 4 extra… does that not add up to 7??? Tell me why 4 arrive😂😂 we then rang up and got told I ordered 4 and paid for 4 and that’s what you’ve got. I have never been to this Indian Bengal all the way this was the worst experience I’ve had with a takeaway. Customer service from the manger was disgusting

Fantastic meal tonight and made extra special by the friendly staff. It was my grandson’s 11th birthday and they made it so special for him. Looking forward to our next visit.

The Surma is sooooo good. A jewel in Barton’s crown. It’s the standard of curry restaurant you expect to find in a big city, not a small town. I’m from Manchester - home of The Curry Mile - and it’s miles better at The Surma....

Must visit. Very welcoming, relaxed and comfortable surroundings most importantly the most fantastic food. Not one thing to be unhappy about.

Excellent value for money, friendly service and fantastic food. Did not disappoint. Will definitely use again!

We chose this restaurant for a group of 12 people. The service was friendly and prompt, the food was delicious and the staff were helpful when having to choose from a wide selection. I recommend this restaurant and will be going back if I’m in...

Wow. The staff are friendly from the moment you walk in and were very interactive with our children throughout our visit. The service was amazing, nothing was to much to ask. Very understanding to dietary requirements. The food was outstanding, has to be the best...

Staff were supper friendly and very helpful. Restaurant was very clean and laid out well. The food was amazing, starter's are a must-have.

Another excellent meal with excellent service as always, great set of guys.

I don’t do reviews, but …. Having twice visited recently, I feel we owe it to you. I brought my family to you and the service we received was fantastic. The food was spot on and everyone cleaned up . You went the extra mile...

We visited the surma on New Year's Eve and we weren't disappointed. The food was excellent and great value for money and the service was also fantastic. The staff were all friendly and helpful, especially Sal!

Went to this restaurant for the first time Sunday evening (New Years day) with doing dry January I thought having a curry without a beer would be difficult but it wasn’t bcos they sold cobra 0% alcohol bottled lager and it was lovely. Ordered poppadoms...

We've been using the Surma for almost 20 years and it is our favourite Indian restaurant. The food has always been to a high standard and the service excellent. Highly recommended.

A very nice place to eat, in which I have been going for the last 20.yesrs, food is excellent with service to match. Prices are also very reasonable.

Fantastic restaurant, wouldn’t use any other Indian, by far the best, food is absolutely brilliant, very clean and tidy environment , service very quick and effective, and the owners very welcoming and make you feel comfortable which is always good.

This is by far the best Indian restaurant I have visited. The food is incredible, I am a vegetarian and made to feel very welcome with staff helping me with discussing various dishes which I could try. All areas of the restaurant are clean and...

We brought our friends from Grimsby to try The Surma. They were not disappointed! One even suggesting it was the best curry he had ever had! The staff were very attentive and the food was great. We/they will definitely be back!

Amazing food delivered to our business address. Food was amazing we asked for enough variety to feed 14, there was definitely enough to feed 20 people. So thanks to Surma staff for making our staffs night.

First time at The Surma for a works Christmas meal. The staff were instantly welcoming to us all with great sense of humours and couldn’t do enough to give us all fantastic hospitality throughout. We had Vegetarian preferences and allergens in our party which they...

Our regular go to restaurant in Barton upon Humber. Good food, efficient and friendly staff. Highly recommended

7 meals and wonderfully prepared, and tasted amazing. Freindly staff with a great sense of humour. Will be returning to the best Indian restaurant in Barton Upon Humber You will not be disappointed

Tasted like spicy Chinese curry sauce. Bizarre. But I do like Chinese curry sauce. But this was not a Madras. Took an hour to knock up in a restaurant not really busy. Has someone else taken over this place again?

We visited on Tuesday night with friends and it did not disappoint. The food was fresh, the staff was very friendly and accommodating, especially with one of our party having a peanut allergy. The restaurant was busy with an atmosphere which was great to see...

Slow delivery..almost 2 hours. Not much food for the money. Won’t be returning,

We were lucky enough to get a last minute table on our wedding anniversary and so glad we did. Excellent food, really efficient & friendly service, all at a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend and will be back very soon.

Just had a really lovely meal at the Surma. So good! We'll be back soon. Loads of really nice pickles with the poppadoms, fabulous main courses and a nice bottle of wine. Great!

Fantastic food best Indian meal I have eaten. Loverly friendly staff. Will 100% be going back very soon.

The most excellent evening of food with the family. Great service, good rapport with the patrons. Amazing mint yoghurt. A wonderful evening, cannot wait to return.

Popped back in after a few weeks away, staff so friendly and welcoming. The dips are continually being updated and we get to try them first hand. Beautifully presented and cooked authentic dishes, with polite conversation with the staff/owner about the continual progression of the...

hadn’t been for a while due to circumstance, but wow nothing had changed fabulous authentic Indian food, great efficient staff. 100 out of 100. Fabulous night out.
