I came across this restaurant by coincidence driving by and I was intrigued by the Nepalese cusine theme as I never tried it. I must say what an incredible experience. I booked on line as the restaurant was closed so no one answered. A day later I received an email confirmation of my booking. Overall the ambience of the restaurant is lovely and service was very helpful and friendly.
The food: OMG so delicious! We were a party of 4. We tried stuffed octopus, paneer cheese, papadooms with delicious sauces, and Nepalese dumplings for starters. For the main courses we had chicken zingha, grilled ostrich, jackfruit dish, Masoo Masala goat dish, Everest Supreme which was monkfish. The food was so so so good. The flavours were beautiful, the spiciness balanced and all just perfect. I will definitely bring more friends and family as I want To try the whole menu. What a gem!

Read moreI recently visited Monk for their lunch buffet, and I must say, I was blown away by the variety and quality of the food! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff and shown to our table.
The buffet had a huge selection of dishes, including vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Each dish was expertly prepared with fresh and flavorful ingredients, and I especially loved the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Chili Chicken . The naan bread was also freshly made and delicious.

The food was very delicious and my kids who are fussy eaters enjoyed the magic vegetables and naans. Service was OK, no eye contact or smiles. When I paid the bill, the children were changed £10 each, and they were both under 10. I showed the waiter the offer advertised on their website, and I told him that he'd made a mistake. He completely dismissed me. I took my card out, and as I discussed the discrepancy, he swiped my card. There was still no eye contact and no knowledgment of the price on their website. He did then mummered the price advertised is wrong, and that was it. Unfortunately, I will not be going...
