The date

Showshaa is the South Surrey date that refuses a category. It's a modern taproom with red-leather booths and an actual half a rickshaw parked by the door, and the menu is Indian cooking deliberately unbuttoned: butter chicken tacos, tandoori paneer quesadillas, kebabs. The bar takes craft cocktails seriously. Claim a booth on 152 Street, order small plates, and let it surprise you.

How to do it

Treat this like an Indian tapas crawl: order a spread of small plates, the butter chicken tacos and tandoori paneer quesadilla are the signatures people come for, plus a sizzler or kebab, and pair it all with two craft cocktails from the bar. Grab one of the red-leather booths rather than the bar rail for the lingering, low-lit vibe. It's more lounge than curry house, so settle in; budget around an hour and three-quarters and don't miss the butter chicken tacos.
