ANNOUNCER: IT'S ALL ABOUT THE LAMB AT SUMAY INDIAN CUISINE >>>
Yet another ethnic restaurant gem can be found in one of the many Puyallup strip mall pockets lining East Meridian Avenue in South Hill. The non-descript facade of the family-owned and operated business gives way to a surprisingly classy and up-to-date interior. Offering fine Indian cuisine with a decided focus on the country's northern state of Punjab, Sumay Indian Cuisine can be described as a cozy restaurant the same way real estate agents refer to tiny apartments as quaint.
Although the dining area is limited, it's used well; white cloth covered tables are comfortably spaced on both sides of the wide aisle. With the tables butted against the walls, a sense of intimacy remains even in semi-close quarters. A mirror covers most of one wall creating an illusion of a larger room reflecting soft amber lighting and candle flicker. A mounted flat screen television features never-ending Bollywood movies complete with bare midriffs, elaborate sets and costumes and, of course, precisely choreographed dancing and singing.
