The best Indian, I have been ordering with Surma for years and every meal never disappoints.
Always cooked to perfection, and the friendliest of custom always.
Delivery is always fast and I have never had an order discrepancy.
The awards speak for themselves!

I've been using Surma for many years now. In my opinion, you won't find better Indian food anywhere in Stevenage. Whenever we've got the whole family together it's always people's first choice when it comes to arranging dinner. The range of dishes is impressive and there's plenty to keep the vegetarians happy. All of the vegetable dishes display the same care and attention to detail that the meat dishes receive.
Next time you want a takeaway get online or get on the phone and order from Surma. You won't be disappointed.

We ordered online with a deliver time of 70 mins. 2hrs later no food. The restaurant said the online estimated time was wrong and not updated. When we spoke to the restaurant they said it would still be 30 mins so we opted to collect it as we had guest over.When we arrived home 1 dish was missing so we called the restaurant and they said they will send it immediately. An hour and a half later still no missing dish so we called them and they seemed oblivious to the missing dish and promise of it being delivered immediately. At this point the guests had left and we said there is not point sending it. The food was nice for the people that received there meal but not impressed with the service and would not order from them again. They said they would give us an extra dish next time we order but sadly we will will not order from their again after our experience.

Had heard a lot about Surma, but had never experienced their food. All this changed when my girlfriend and I decided to order a take-away from them for her birthday on Saturday 15th August.
I found the whole order process easy and seamless. I phoned my order in, and the person taking the orders was very friendly and helpful. When I had a question about a dish, he gave his adivce and recommendations. After placing the order, he sad how long it would take for the food to be delivered.
The delivery driver arrived at exactly the time that I was told. He was very personable, and a fantastic representative of Surma. He saw the birthday cards and banners up, and wished my girlfriend a happy birthday.
The food? WOW! It was very tasty and exceeded our expectations. Even now as I type this review, my mouth is salivating with the memories of how good the food was.
We will definately be ordering from Surma again.
If you are reading this review and debating whether to order from Surma Takeaway. Debate no longer. Order from them. You won't be disappointed!

Potatoes in every dish. Very dry chicken difficult to swallow. Seems to have got not as good as it used to be. Switch to another takeaway restaurant selling Indian food next time. Soggy papadums.

I’ve been getting my take away from here for years. It’s delicious and my favourite curry, the staff are very friendly.
The mint (pink) sauce with the pompadoms is a MUST! Also the chicken nawabi is delicious. Enjoy!

I order from Surma regularly with my family however today we did an order and there was a hair in the food and the naan breads were rock hard. This is very disappointing.
