Surati Farsan points its menu primarily toward the seaside state of Gujarat, one of India’s many culinary epicenters. Gujarati food is regarded as being remarkably clean and simple, with predominantly vegetarian dishes that work wonders with only a few flavors. And that’s what Surati Farsan specializes in. There’s pani puri, fried wheat shells puffed up and stuffed with beans and potatoes. And then there’s khandvi, steamed gram flour rolled up and topped with mustard and sesame seeds, shredded coconut and a few leaves of cilantro. But these are just a few of Surati Farsan’s excellent snack-sized bites. And while you may not be able to eat everything at once, it won’t take long before it all starts adding up.
