Chicken Tandoori from Surya Indian Restaurant on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, MA

When I heard the foodies group was heading to Surya Indian Restaurant, I was excited for some nan. I have to admit; I have limited experience with Indian food. I luckily sat next to someone that knew all the dishes and was a huge help explaining and offering suggestions. Thank you! I ordered the cheese nan – clay oven baked bread stuffed with homemade cheese & spices. I honestly don’t think any form of nan could disappoint my love for this bread. The cheese nan was very good; not overly stuffed and the flavors of the spice were a perfect balance. For my dish, I decided to not be very adventurous (I know shame on me.) I ordered the chicken tandoori – fresh chicken marinated in tandoori sauce and BBQ in a clay oven. I was told that often this is prepared with a dry rub on the chicken however; mine was more in a sauce. I was not disappointed. While the serving was far too large for my appetite the flavors was just spicy enough and went well with the rice and yes the nan. The service was also fantastic. Going to Surya has definitely piqued my taste buds to venture towards more Indian flavors and well…. more nan. -LB
