Monsoon Tandoori — Restaurant in London

It was Monday and we arrived not long after 18:30hrs so it was not packed. In fact, we were the only two customers there and this was still the case when we left after 20:00hrs My knife was dirty before I started, as was one of the serving dishes. The heating was poor, leaving my girlfriend shivering as it was below freezing outside. The waiter was pacing up and down sporadically for the entire duration of our stay and, whilst he wasn't pacing, he appeared to be earwigging our conversation, which was off-putting, to say the least. After all this, you would at least expect the food to be of a reasonable standard but you would be disappointed. I had two side dishes, aloo gobi and brinjal bhajee, both of which were bland and spice free. My girlfriend liked her Chicken Korma, which she said was also spice free (but that's the way she likes it), the tandoori roti wasn't up to much but the pilau rice was ok. If the place has any redeeming features, it was a reasonable price and the gent's toilet was clean apart from the stale urine in the toilet bowl.

I went to monsoon resturant last week, and I will not be returning ever again. Personally, this place shouldn't be serving food.

We ordered the tandoori lamp chops, and it was very tough, couldn't even cut through it and was extremely chewy. It was so chewy we had to spit it out.

The mains came and the butter chicken looked like vomit and tasted disgusting. The chicken tika masala was very sweet and the curry was very grainy. The lamb bhuna was very oily and bland.

The best part of the meal was the tap water. When I tried to speak to the manager, he was very defensive and was making excuses for the poor food. He agreed his colleague made a mistake with the food they brought to us but didn't want to make any changes to the bill.

Wasn't a good experience and as I said before, I will not be...

Really nice food and service. I have ordered takeaway from here many times and during 'dine out to help out' we ate here twice. The restaurant isn't that big and one word of warning to anyone wanting to go who has a baby..take your pushchair with you! The one thing that let this restaurant down was that they only have one highchair..I think it would be beneficial to them to invest in at least one more. The first evening we ate there someone else was using the highchair so I had to eat with my baby on my lap..such a shame because the food was amazing but I struggled to enjoy it that day. Second time we went the highchair was available so the meal went more smoothly. Definitely try the restaurant as they make delicious fresh food. The onion bhajis were so...
