surjit food plaza

the go-to place in amritsar for mouth-watering non-vegetarian punjabi delicacies often cooked up personally by the owners to satisfy the taste buds. the amritsari fish and mutton tikka are especially recommended.

when i come to amritsar

surjit - a must must must visit 
i was visiting amritsar about ten days ago for the first time with the single minded agenda to eat. the first place i happened to go straight from the airport was surjit. i had heard a lot about it so wanted to see what the hype was all about. i went with my parents and as soon as we entered we were greeted by one of the warmest smile of surjit himself. he recommended that we order his famous tandoori chicken, amritsari fish and mutton tikka and we did. we also added saag and a few rotis to our order and waited eagerly. soon we realised that we had surjit himself in the kitchen cooking for us. as the food arrived, i found myself literally salivating because it was the best mutton tikka and fish i have ever tasted in my life. 

over the next few days, we literally must have tried every single dhaba/restaurant in amritsar but nothing even came close to surjit. which is why we went back to surjit on outr way back to the airport for our flight to delhi! and the hogs that we are, even packed some to take back with us to delhi! do not miss it if you're in amritsar.

when we entered and asked for the menu, a pleasant but owner looking person commented “dekh ne ka aur soch ne ka kuch nahi hai; sirf khane ka hai” and then broke into a big smile.. we immediately told him that please order for us and we will just eat.. and well, there was only sheer happiness after that.. the perfectly marinated tandoori chicken and sukha mutton were really good but what caught our attention was the amritsari fish tikka.. golden crispy on the outside and tender soft in the inside and the fish cooked to perfection..and the masala sprinkled on the outside is simply to die for; the aloo kulcha and the chole were certainly amritsar standard.. we ordered few takeaways for our friends and the team did a splendid job to get everything done in less than 40 mins!

while the food itself deserved all the praise, what really made it special was the exceptional service of the owners - surjit singh-ji and his sauve son amarjit singh who welcomed us with that ‘wise-beyond-his-years’ remark when we entered.. the story of the restaurant and how it was built by surjitji and his son after splitting away from the older man’s brother of ‘makhan’ fame.. the story was moving but then with surjit food plaza getting featured in new york times couple of years back, it was proof that talent and tasty food always get recognised.. if i were to go back to one place in amritsar, then i would happily choose surjit food plaza :)

excellent food...especially fish , very authentic and well cooked .
must try
1. tawa chicken
and
2.) tandoori fish
very well located and neat surrounding 😀

went there with my family for dinner after hearing about there good food but they gave nothing but pure disappointment, ordered tandoori chicken, butter chicken, butter naan, lassi. tandoori chicken came after 50 minutes and was soggy, butter chicken after more than 1 hour and was average, butter naan was replaced by plane naan and the lassi never came. restaurant management was worst didn't give water after asking for more than 2 times also didn't change the plates when asked. not going to suggest the restaurant to anyone.

this is best place to try mutton tikka n fish tikka...
however mostly all items in menu are tempting n unresistably tasty....
the location is a little out of market in commercial area of amritsar.
i always visit this place simply because i love the food here...
do try when in amritsar 👍

nothing special
so so
normal dining and simple food
service is good
not sure about home delivery
visited only once!
am i the only one who found it expensive?

food was nothing to talk about. just very ordinary and exorbitantly priced. was very disappointed. looks like these guys who have written so highly about them were well fed for free. the restaurant was empty except for the three of us.

tandoori chicken is out of the world..!! a tourist hotspot for those who knew about this place..
a very kind hospitality by the owners !!
service is a bit slow but worth the taste and the product is freshly made ..!!
must try for non veggies

amritsar fish tikka is a dish which brought me to this place. and bang it was the right choice though there are likes of makhan fish corner in amritsar.

i have been here twice and ordered the fish tikka on both the occasions. crisp on the outside and soft like butter on the inside. it melts in your mouth and you savour every bit of it.

you can also order their chicken from the menu but i would stick to the fish tikka.

excellent food, loved the flavours and superb service. would recommend it to everyone visiting amritsar :) try out their mutton kheema kulcha and gravy, was a burst of flavours. also, try out their mutton tikka.

outstanding tandoori chicken
daal to die for
fish amritsari is a hit
un assuming restaurant . but a must try if in amritsar
mutton tikka super

this is my fifth visit to surjit and second of this trip. i simply now feel that a visit to surjit is must on every visit to amritsar

place is located in bustling market place but inside is a calm and homely aura where you dine with full view of the kitchen which owner himself manages when the crowd is growing.

i always order tandoori chicken and have to say that it is the dish that should be had every time. kfc gives an ad that their chicken is finger lick'in good, well if you try chicken at surjit you will surely be saying the same thing. chicken is first done in tandoor then on kadai and served with lemon. its tender juicy mmm mmm mmmm good.

my other orders was yellow dal with assorted bread (ps: try lachha parantha only if you are really hungry) kadai chicken and fried fish.

to be honest i am not a dal person every time its made at home i have an excuse like i am full or i will have fruits only but here its good.

my overall experience of the place is amazing the owner himself or one of his relatives whoever is sitting greets you helps you with ordering. they dont allow you to over order anything. they make sure you enjoy your food.

i don't give out 5 stars easily as i eventually do find a fault or two in everything. but at surjit there is something about the aura, food and the owner that giving anything less will be an insult to not only an averagely priced, very high quality food but to owner himself.

so do go here and enjoy finger lick'in good tandoori chicken and other delicacies on offer.

dropped by for a quick lunch with the family... the place is utilitarian...food is okay. tandoori chicken n amritsari fish were nice. though i must confess i have had better tandoori in amritsar. all n all better than average...
