It’s been raining for the last three weeks in Barcelona, and you can tell we’re all too used to the city’s usual sunshine. Even in winter, the locals and tourists alike start to panic when the gloomy weather lingers, and the mood noticeably shifts. Because, let’s be honest—rain and Barcelona just don’t match.
But you know what does match? Rain and a warm, comforting Indian meal that hits the spot. So, braving the downpour, we headed to Surya Restaurant, a vibrant and inviting spot that brings authentic Indian flavors to the heart of Barcelona.
Stepping inside, you’re instantly welcomed by the cozy ambiance, with a striking bar designed to look like a Mumbai street bus, bringing an authentic touch to the space. The friendly staff make you feel right at home, while the menu is packed with bold, flavorful dishes. Whether you’re craving rich curries, fragrant biryanis, or their house-infused cocktails bursting with Asian flavors, Surya delivers every time.
One of the best things about dining here? Wednesdays are naan heaven, you can order any naan of your choice for just 1€! And if you’re a cocktail lover, take advantage of their 2-for-1 happy hour from 18:00 to 20:00 every day.
My go-to order? Always the Butter Chicken—an absolute must-try. Creamy, perfectly spiced, and incredibly satisfying. But the real surprise of the night? Their Pistachio Cardamom Ice Cream. I’d never tried anything like it before—so good, I forgot to offer to share.
A hearty meal, a cozy atmosphere, and the perfect way to make a rainy evening feel a little warmer. Sometimes, all you need is good food to turn a gloomy day around.
