Best Restaurants for Creative Cuisine in Swarthmore

What a jewel of a spot! Gracious and friendly service, delicious food, great drinks list, and an absolute treat to sit at the chef’s counter and see the pros at work!

Sura Indian Bistro is fabulous. The decor is stylish and modern. The waitress was attentive and service was timely. The food was excellent, especially the lamb vindaloo. I like how they rated the spice level from 1-5, with medium (3) level working well for me. We had lemon ginger mocktails which were excellent. Next visit, I will try a cocktail. For the high quality of the food, service, and atmosphere, the prices were reasonable. There is an upstairs area which would be nice for a party. I am already looking forward to a return visit.

We had a lovely dinner at this neighborhood gem. We shared a nice Caesar salad. I had a fantastic Stuffed Pork Chop, my wife had the Shrimp & Scallop Puttanesca. We were both delighted! Excellent service, nice room, fairly priced. All-in-all we had a delightful experience. My only regret is that it took us too long to finally visit. We will return soon

Great service, great bites, great reunion with friends!!

So good ! From start to finish - excellent. Understated and underrated. Service ambiance and good quality all 5 stars. We order one main dish each and a handful of mezze items and sides like beets and basmati rice and fries. The fries were good but not great and out of everything we ordered, happened to be my least favorite. King salmon was my main course and was so delicious and flavorful - there was no stopping me from finishing it. I only recently came here for happy hour and once many years ago for dinner and I have to say, it was great to be back and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend.
