Was Anonym at Monsoon a mag?
After doing the GNR yesterday we asked the taxi driver to take us to a nice indian restaurant he advised this one so glad he did . Lovely food and friendly staff food was hot and very quick would defiantly return View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Monsoon:
I was the same night as the 1* rating. I rated higher, as it was a nice evening and eating was delicious. I would say, maybe if there was a big booking (as our was 20 people) that the people who run it should be for people to prebook meals etc., so they know what they need to prep etc. View all feedback.

I gave my friend a fish curry, not knowing she had a fish allergy. When I informed the staff, they apologized but were dismissive and had a terrible attitude. They claimed it was the wrong table and didn't take the situation seriously. They overcharged me, so I recommend avoiding this restaurant.

Came here for fathers day with my family. The restaurant itself was clean and comfortable. We were seated immediately and our drinks order was taken. Our food arrived shortly after, we ordered chicken tikka starters followed by mains of chicken dupiaza x2 and chicken bhuna with chips, rice and naan. All food was cooked to perfection and tasted beautiful! Curries were full of flavour and prices were reasonable for both food and drinks. Can't wait to return!

We usually enjoy the food at this restaurant. However, we were let down by their new weekend buffet where you can eat as much as you want for £15 per person. The food was cold, and it's understandable that it can be challenging to keep food warm in a buffet setting. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

The food was excellent and I would highly recommend it. Everyone enjoyed the lovely meal. Thanks to Imad and the team for the wonderful evening.
