Navraj Sweets & Restaurant — Restaurant in Surrey

Yesterday my granddaughter and I made the trip out to Payal Centre in Surrey. After the long bus ride we were hungry and luckily found Navraj Sweets & Restaurant. I checked the reviews of various Payal eateries the night before our trip, and Navraj sounded good.

Clearly, we made the right choice. Everything about this experience was very positive. First, we received a quick and friendly welcome. We arrived before noon and had no trouble getting a booth. After perusing the extensive menu we decided on the lunch special which, on Thursday, happened to be two of our favourites: Palak Paneer and Butter Chicken. Specials are different every day.

Soon the thalis arrived and we were amazed at the lovely portion size. Besides the two main dishes (we did not have to choose, we got them both), there was Basmati rice, a warm buttered naan, raw veggies, and raita. Also included was warm gulab jamun. All for $15!

The Palak Paneer was creamy with lots of soft paneer cubes. This is my favourite Indian dish and it did not disappoint. Lovely! The Butter Chicken sauce was rich and full of flavour, with tender chunks of chicken.

The food was absolutely delicious! It was fresh and only mildly spicy. I was surprised at that, because I doubt they cater much to western tastes. I expected the food to be much hotter than it was. We had told the server we prefer mild spice, but did not really expect that. However, it was perfect for us. Full of flavour, mild spice, so we could really taste the food and not fighting the heat. Very impressive!

Neither of us could eat all the food in one sitting, and we loaded up the take-out containers the server offered. We took home rice, naan and a container each of the Palak Paneer and the Butter Chicken.

Service was friendly and attentive. We felt very welcome. Granddaughter enjoyed watching the Bollywood music and dance routines on the large screen.

We left talking about how much we enjoyed the food and the lovely experience overall. It was a long trip to get there but we felt it was worth it, apart from anything else we did at Payal Centre, just to have that wonderful meal.

We highly recommend Navraj Sweets and Restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Indian food. We would...

My wife and I had the absolute privilege of having Bobby and his incredible team from Navraj Sweets cater our wedding reception at the Sky Hangar on October 19, 2024.

From the impressive Gol Gappa stand to the mouth-watering appetizers, exquisite main course, and decadent desserts, everything was flawlessly prepared and beautifully presented. The servers were attentive not only to our guests but also to us as the bride and groom, delivering a level of professionalism that’s hard to come by.

Beyond the food, Bobby and his team truly went above and beyond. They even assisted with other details throughout the evening—helping our coordinator, piping confetti, and lending a hand to the bartenders. All our vendors couldn’t stop singing their praises!
