The word Suruchi in Sanskrit and in many Indian regional languages means "Good Taste". Suruchi is not just this restaurant's name, it is our goal for every aspect of your visit to us. The authenticity of our recipes, the freshness of our ingredients, hand-made tiles, genuine Indian furniture and decorative wall hangings specially acquired from artists and craftsmen, create a complete experience that you will enjoy and remember.

We wish to take you away to your own small part of India for an hour or two. A place where you will eat the dishes that most Indians eat. For although "curry shops" are now the most popular style of culinary experience in Britain, Scotland has only just scratched the surface. We believe Suruchi is different and here's why.

India, of all nations, is predominately vegetarian and there is something very satisfying about its cooking. The combination of wholesome food and endless flavours from the unique blend of spices, herbs and seasonings makes Indian cooking one of the most universally popular throughout the world. At it best cooking can be complex, subtle and seductive. A glance at the culinary map of India shows a rich diversity of regional traditions.

South Indian food is rice-based with a seasoning of lentils and curry leaves, nuts, coconut and lemon - all adding to the flavour while North Indian meals are wheat-based using a variety of bread, leavened or unleavened, plain or spicy to accompany the aromatic dishes.

From the Punjab and the North-West frontier come dishes cooked on skewers in charcoal Tandoors. Gujarat in the West is strictly vegetarian and is famous for stews flavoured with black mustard seed, asafoetida and tamarind.

Every dish that leaves our kitchen comes to you with the assurance that only the freshest ingredients are used with no additives, colours or preservatives. Our kitchen is run by two chefs especially recruited from India, each bringing a specific regional knowledge and talent.
