So lets talk about being what initially i thought of being a common traditional bar and restaurant kind of place but turned out to be quite a surprising as well.

Monis is actually not what it looks like from outside. Don't judge a book by its cover kind of place. Well by the first look from the outside of course it does feel like ohh is it really the place where i want to be, but once you enter inside, there are 1000% chances of getting amazed by the ambience, people and the food of course.

A big place with perfectly aligned seating arrangements for the tables and chairs and courteous staff makes the place quite a noticeable.

Seperate sections for the bar and restaurant as well as for the families as well. And yes talk about the ambience and the dim lighting and the fish tanks, some carved inside the walls and some kept outside and well maintained as well.

You'll have to give it 10 out of 10 for the ambience of course. Considering such beautiful scenes inside.

Now must mention is the service they provided, it was such timely and courteous all the way till the end.

They will make you feel like you own the restaurant and you can ask for anything and yet they are so much courteous to answer the queries very much politely

Now if coming to the food, what we had included,

Prawns Koliwada Fry Paneer Makai Tikki Green Peas Jeera Garlis Butter Fry Chicken Dilkash Kebab

Considering all the starters, they all are to be recommended by me at least

I mean the quality of the food served was such amazing and every dish that has been served to us was timely and hot and fresh as it needs to be

Alongside starters we also had some mocktails that included,

Chocolate Shake With Ice Cream Blue Hawaiian Mango Rupture Spice Gun Mazala Coke 3G

Well all of the Mocktails are so much refreshing and drooling

And the best part was the presentation they had kept. It's by far amongst the best presented Mocktails I've seen. The glasses are quite weirdly interesting but simple.

And not to forget the flavour and the taste of every Mocktail was as described in their menu.

Thumbs up for this.

Well then we decided to go for the main course as we were short of time and in hurry of leaving somewhere

So we ordered, Green Thai Curry along with Steam Rice.

Best combination of course.

Thai Curry here in not among the best ones I've tasted by far but this is the best thai curry I've ever tasted

The amount of vegetables put into and the coconut milk blend was so much perfect and the taste and the flavours are so much awesome. Really so much satisfied with this decision.

At last we wanted to try some of their unique desserts that they claim to have been changing everyday. So at that day they had some of the variety of kulfis. So we ordered,

Pan masala Kulfi Peru Kulfi And Fruit Salad With Ice Cream

Again the presentation was the deciding factor alongside the taste

So overall we had quite a satisfying and tasty experience here and considering everything, the service, staff and the food and the presentation it's worth giving this one a...

Monis - "Best Customer Service & Delicious Food". Fine dine restaurants are on the rise. Today, very few understand how important is perfection and detailing in serving delicious food. It takes a lot to make a perfect dish that can take your taste buds on a rollercoaster ride. Experimenting with food ingredients and at the same time understanding how flavours can be blended well needs expertise. Monis surely have earned this. Whether you are craving for quick bites or a perfect meal, this place is for YOU. Modish designed interiors, cozy seating space and welcoming staff adds up to your dining experience. You can often see happy customers savouring delicacies at Monis. It is well known for North Indian Cuisine, Chinese, Seafood & Continental.

Here is what I tried : ✨Mocktails✨ Green Lemonade - With kiwi being the dominant flavour in this, lemons surely complimented it. Fresh and refreshing. However, this could have been the best by adding kiwi chunks to it. Adding texture and fruity flavour would have made it the star among all.

3G - What a unique blend of three fruits. With Guavas ruling this mocktail, the salt and spice tickled my taste buds. Highly recommended. 🤘

✨Quick Bites✨ Cheese Pantraj - An absolute delicacy. Delighted to have this. One of their signature dish. The cheese is stuffed in fried Rumali and served with sweet tangy sauce.😍 Served in small shot glasses, this quick bite was one of my personal favourite. Couldn't stop gulping them in no time. 🤘

Cheese Kaju Kebab - The most widely chosen starter are kebabs. Making a perfect one is always a challenge. This particular one was yummylicous. Cheese and kaju make a very rich combination. An ultimate mix and popular among foodies. Bit sweet but goes well with mint chutney. 🤘

Kung Pao Paneer - The creamy paneer is stir fried in sweet and sour kung pao sauce. With spices on the higher side, kung pao paneer will make your day. Yum Yum Yum 😜

✨Mains✨ While I was full with those delicious appetizers. Thought of giving a try to their sizzlers. Among a decent list of options, I quickly ordered Veg Maxicano Sizzler. With spinach mashed potatoes stuffed in capsicum, green veggies on the side, saucy and spicy paneer sauted in mexican sauce and mildly spiced fried rice would promise you a complete food combo. Crispy fried french fries compliments this sizzler. Would love to try this again.

✨Desserts✨ Gulab Jamun - While gulab jamuns remain the favourite of all, I had to order this with no further thoughts. Sweet and served in hot chashni. Could have been more softer, it would have been a perfect dessert.

Sizzling Chocolate Brownie - Two chunks of brownies with vanilla ice cream, classic as always.

Overall experience was great. Will surely visit again and explore more. Extra points for hospitality, food presentation and quick service.
