Monika by 805

The food was on point, very tasty. I liked the deco, simple but with a nice ambiance. The focus was on the food.

The food was incredible!!! The vibe was fun and we were served by a very entertaining waitress Precious. Thank you

Warm and vibrant. Environment Music was great Deco amazing The staff were a little slow and appeared confused - witnessed a small disagreement between staff (not appropriate in front of customers) Pudding was cold Overall the food was yum (large portions) Will definitely be back

Food was cold asked to be reheated, the meal came back a smaller portion and some other bits missing. I did ask for the missing parts which was later provided etc. The atmosphere and service was nice though

Brilliant vibe, amazing food and top drinks. Would go back again and again. The staff were busy but accommodating.

lovely restaurant would recommend. the food is great great vibes

Staff were very friendly, attentive and understandable. When we gave our honest feedback about the suya they removed it from the bill. Food was delicious overall! Wait time was a little long but it was worth it. Will definitely recommend and go back again!

It was my first time at this restaurant and overall it was great very busy for a Tuesday so I was glad I had booked cocktails were great and I especially liked the mac & cheese. The staff were all very helpful especially Precious. Will definitely be making a return visit

The waitress forgot some parts of the starter for what reason, I do not know.

Was made to wait 30 mins for a table after having a reservation then the food wasn’t flavourful when it arrived. Not impressed.

Service was really poor... food was very good though ....

the food was great but it took a bit too long had to get it to takeaway so couldn’t enjoy the space as much but the setting and music uniforms and the drinks are TOP TIER

Ran out of most things we wanted to eat so quite disappointed.

This is my second time of visiting. Food was good with nice flavours. Cocktails were also nice. Staff were attentive and friendly. The service was quite slow but it wasn’t the worst. It was quite busy so I can understand. Would definitely return!

Excellent customer service including food but the fried rice was too hot ands I think this should be optional for customers, the music was too loud. overall 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Will definitely visit again

Very tasty food, service was fast, our waitress Precious was lovely! Thank you all for making the experience great

The vibe and the venue was amazing, unfortunately the wait time was longer than I'd like but the management were friendly and open to receiving the constructive feedback. Big props to Emmanuel and his team, the food was outstanding and as a Jamaican/Guyanese this place is highly recommended.

What a beautiful restaurant with the best seafood boil I have tried!! The cocktails were also🤤😍

Overall it was good and will definitely be going back!

The service was really good, food came out hot and server explained the menu really helpful. Came pretty early to have dinner as arrived with a 4 month old and left about 8.30 as it got busy. Food was really tasty, lamb chops, the whole fish.

My husband and I arrived 15 minutes early for our reservation so we were happy to wait at the bar and order our frinkbut we were still seated 30 minutes after our reservation time. It was very busy in the restaurant which is understandable given that it was a Saturday evening but waiting a further half an hour to be given a menu is ridiculous.

Absolutely stunning- food, ambience! Great service too. Definitely return 🥰

Great atmosphere and decor, great food, large portions, lovely staff and owners. Highly recommended 10/10!!

Waited for 50 minutes,starter came after the main meal. Pleasant waitress.

Food was awesome. Very delicious. The manager, he was awesome as well

Great food, good waiting times, fantastic host! We really enjoyed!

Would benefit from faster service and better plating of their suya platter as it looked messy. Food was tasty, there was a nice atmosphere later in the evening but very quiet in the early evening. Would reccomend having more staff as we had a long wait for the bill

They accommodation us so nicely, we held a surprise 50th there. John and Precious are the best and the food was amazing. Thank you

Really enjoyed ourselves. The portion sizes were huge. My friend got a whale sized piece of fish, but we ate and ate. I'm still full this morning. Nice ambiance and chilled vibe. I don't like places where it's too loud, so here was great. I'm bringing my cousin and husband here, probably in 2 weeks. The only slight issue was being asked to move when it was fine where we were. In the end, staff let us sit in the same place, so no biggie. But overall an excellent night and really quite reasonable. We'll be back.

Extremely slow service. We walked out after our drinks which we waited 45mins for, didn’t want to waste more time waiting for the food! Menu looked interesting but poorly managed.

The ambiance and vibe were great until our food took 1.5 hours to arrive. They had a large group of 30 people, and we were just a group of three local moms, one of whom is pregnant, which we made sure to inform the waiter about. The food and drinks were both excellent, easily 10/10, but the service was seriously lacking—I'd give it a 4/10. I spoke to one of the staff members, possibly a supervisor, who apologized but blamed the delay on having to serve the large group first. Honestly, that excuse didn’t sit well with me. It felt like they were prioritizing the group, which included some influencers, and we were just forgotten. Pro tip: don’t let hungry moms wait—it won’t end well! I really want to love Monika, especially since I was a fan of their previous restaurant, Tila, but if the service doesn’t improve, I don’t think they’ll last long..

We had a fantastic lunch at Monika by 805. We were greeted and served by Precious who was an absolute delight and looked after us well. The food was amazing, the restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, has a great ambience and plays some banging afrobeat tunes. We’ll definitely return soon

Beautiful deco and restaurant. Still some work to be done regarding waiting times for food. Drinks were nice, my Chapman tasted authentic! The suya was just OK, was disappointed by the lack of heat in the suya seasoning, we had the mixed platter which came with chicken, lamb and beef. Suggest the platter is served on a hot plate. Service was good, Precios was our server and she did a nice job. Overall rating 6 /10

Very lovely experience, I love the food and the atmosphere

I recently dined at Monika by 805 with my cousin, and it was a delightful experience. We shared the platter, which was beautifully presented and bursting with fresh flavors. Each dish complemented the others perfectly, making it a true feast for the senses. The warm atmosphere and attentive service added to our enjoyment, making us feel right at home. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a special occasion spot, Monika by 805 is a must-visit. I can't wait to return! Highly recommended!

The service was absolutely terrible. Reserved a table for 5 and was asked to push my own tables together to accommodate seating. The waiter shattered a wine glass overs me and dint bother to apologise. Finally managed ro order food as the waiters were far and few , but the food took two hours to arrive. I asked for my drinks bill in then end and walked out. This was a birthday booking. What a shame because I had highly hope so foe this place. Avoid at all costs. Unless your fancy waiting hours for your food to arrive.
