Monsoon Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Palm Desert

We knew the restaurant closes at 3pm we did our best to arrive for 2:15pm. We get there and the greeting we got was go take your buffet I was like I didn’t get seated she was like sit where ever you want. So I go to the buffet nothing was there everything was dried up to the base. So I told her I don’t want this it’s left overs only a spoon of each item. I asked if Al a carte was available she said yes. So we picked our booth sat down and reviewed the menu. She came after 2 mins asking what we wanted I felt so pressured and rushed so we ordered our beers and thought let’s get the large ones since we are being rushed. She was like the large ones? I told her yes I am on vacation. I was given 2 mins to decide on food. Not to bore you, order was placed, I requested chilis as I can only eat spicy foods. No joke I placed the order and the food came out in 5 mins. I think I had just opened up my beer. As I was enjoying the app, she ran up and asked what do you want for mains. I lost my appetite. I placed the order. I knew at that point it’s coming in 30 seconds. What an experience when you are on vacation. She was finishing at 3 pm so she wanted to leave. No asking if we needed anything else. I think the owner or owners son came out, I expressed my disappointment. He felt bad and asked me if she said anything. I’m not a squealer so I said no. I really wanted to sit and enjoy my time as I am free. I have taken my left over food with me as I could not eat in 15 mins. I think I...

DO NOT go to this restaurant or order food from here! The servers were nice but did not know much about the dishes. The food quality is very bad, not even close to being authentic Indian food. The naan is not even worthy of its name. Other reviewers who liked the food probably don't have any other Indian restaurants to compare to especially if you are a local. To make things worse, they charge you more for every dish than the prices on the menu. When I brought this up with the server, he pointed me to the take-out menu (which we were not given) where it said "Prices subject to change without notice". Then I asked to speak to the manager/owner. The owner came out of the kitchen with a rude attitude and pointed ne to the same line on the menu. I asked him that basically they could charge me any amount because of the disclaimer. I told him that I am being very polite, can you please explain to me what I am asking. He just left and went back into the kitchen. I am very surprised by the behavior of the owner towards a customer who is asking a genuine...

Worst place ever, all tray were empty at 2:30pm. 3 trays empty, No refill until asked for it. No chicken in chicken tikka masala. Undercooked no marination chicken tikka masala. When asked for naan only one was served, the 2nd time we asked they only bought one more amongst 4 people. When asked for 3rd naan we were told you have to pay for it, which is ok but the lady was super rude in saying like we couldn’t afford to buy a naan. On top of that she is picking up the tray’s telling me it’s almost 3pm, if that’s the case- do not accept customers post 2:30pm if you are in such a rush but don’t tell me “I am owner” first of all it is - I am the owner, maybe go to school and learn better English and also get a class on how to converse with customers or what customer service is. Staff was more curtious than the owner, maybe she needs to shut down the place if she cannot afford to run it. A BUFFET MEANS ALL YOU CAN EAT, not you only get limited food. Pathetic ownership and experience. Place won’t last long with...
