By October 31, 2023Community

Not only is Dr. Sharma of Aura Orthodontics a Surrey orthodontist, he also lives in the area. In his time here, he’s come to know the Indian restaurants pretty well. Okay, very well (hey, he burns it off playing basketball!). There are tons of reasons why Aura Orthodontics is happy to call Surrey home and the fact that it has some of the best Indian food in BC doesn’t hurt. So, without further ado, here’s a list of the establishments Dr. Sharma considers the top Indian restaurants in Surrey along with a few of his favorite dishes.

Apna Chaat House

7500 120th Street, #112, Surrey, BC

Favorite dishes: Kati roll, golgappa and lollipop chicken. With quick, affordable, Indian street food, Apna Chaat is definitely one of the best Surrey restaurants. The casual, cheerful little place has a diverse menu with snacks and meals that incorporate the flavors from various regions of India.
