Surati Indian Street Food: Authentic Vegetarian Delights in Nashville

Surati is a true hidden gem for anyone who loves authentic Indian street food. Everything on the menu is vegetarian, but you won't miss the meat--these dishes aren't meant for it anyway. The flavors stand on their own, rich with spices and textures that make every bite exciting. We tried the chaat (you can't go wrong with any of them) and the cholle bhature, both bursting with bold flavors and the perfect balance of crunch, spice, and tang. Every dish felt like a street food experience, made with care and authenticity. On top of the amazing food, the hospitality was just as memorable. The man taking orders was incredibly kind, offering the kind of warm, welcoming service that makes a place feel special. If you're a true foodie, Surati is a must-visit. It's an unassuming spot, but once you step in, you'll find some of the best Indian street food around.

Banger. Had a few of the chaats and cholle bhature and it was absolutely incredible. So much flavor packed inside of every dish. One of the best Indian spots in Nashville period. Each dish is designed for one person, so bring friends and go family style.

This is the most authentic Indian food I've had since moving to the area. Its great to find somewhere that does most of the dishes very well and everything is wonderfully flavorful and decently spicy if desired. All of the hits are here on the menu - we got samosa chaat, Gobi Manchurian, pav bhaji, and masala dosa. Loves each and every dish and had no complaints. The chickoo milkshake was also bomb. Would absolutely bring family and friends here. Everything is vegetarian which is great for the Gujarat roots. The spot is also right next to Patel so it's perfect to grab a bite after some shopping. The staff was very nice and the the service was very quick. Chill place - plenty of take out boxes. Will be back many times for the taste of home.

Had idly and puri masala - ordered biriyani to go and pav bhaji. Amazing food super tasty and spicy!

Surati offers good Indian food. Its a small cozy restaurant that has plenty of parking outside. Although the service is a little slow and the team is very sweet. I have been here multiple times to satisfy my Indian food cravings. They have fairly good dosas which I definitely recommend. The chutneys are quite good. I have also tried their vada pav and it was quite good too! I don't eat too spicy food, and the food here is easy on spice. It is also fresh and they have plenty of options beyond the Dosas!

This place is amazing! It has a cozy vibe, and you immediately feel like you're stepping into a welcoming space. We ordered a few different dishes to split and everything was absolutely amazing. Each bite was full of flavor, and the food came out hot and fresh! The staff were helpful and friendly. Will definitely be coming back here to try more dishes!

Never fails to impress me! The staff is always kind and gives great recommendations, the environment is homey and inviting, and the food is 10/10 every time. Cannot recommend this place enough!

My family loves this place. We always stop here when we come to Nashville. The food is spicy and flavorful. We love the various dosa they have. The spring dosa is different and I recommend trying it at least once. I love their rava dosa. The chili cheese sandwich is excellent. Definitely get that. Be aware it's spicy. Surati veggie is another great sandwich. Their vada pavs are great too

I've been hearing about Surati Indian Street Food for a while and was glad to get the chance to try it out on a Saturday night! Here's the general sense of the place: -It's self service, so you'll order at the counter then place a number at your table. -The inside is very small, and this place is extremely popular for families to visit on Saturday nights. The staff do their best on managing the place, but it does get a little chaotic, so be prepared. -Coming from a South Asian, the dosa was pretty well made. I appreciated that the aloo was on the side (I can't stand it when the dosa gets soggy). However, I do wish the dosa batter had been a bit more fermented. I also felt that the sambar could've had more tamarind added to it. All in all, a solid place to get a quick Indian bite in Nashville.
