Some of the best South Asian food in Canada around Newton and 128 Street, a fast-growing downtown at City Centre, and Crescent Beach when the sun is out. Curated by locals, refreshed daily.
Newton, full stop: the blocks around 128 Street and 72 Avenue hold some of the best South Asian food in the country, from sweet shops to tandoor rooms. City Centre adds the newer food halls, and Cloverdale’s main street keeps the small-town diners.
Crescent Beach and Blackie Spit on a dry day, the Surrey Museum and the big spray parks in summer, and Bear Creek Park’s gardens and mini train year-round. Guildford and City Centre cover the indoor rec centres when it rains.
It’s the fastest-changing downtown in the region: new towers, a university campus in a former mall, and a food scene catching up quickly. Come on an event weekend and pair it with Holland Park.
