The food was not at all good and such a waste of time and money. It is not Indian food in anyway. Worst place I have tried for Indian food till date 😓

Great food and service! Charged for 12 starters and not the cheapest, but amazing taste — fish, lamb, and the special veggie saag were the best

nice staff, seating a bit cramped for table of 7, food ok but pricey considering it wasn't top notch had fun but the food at 12 quid for a main was high great poppodums though!

Good value and really delightful food! Alcohol is available, but the BYO option is very appealing. It is in a great location directly across from some of the best art in Shoreditch. The vegetarian options are great!

It s a multi levels restaurant so each space is quite intimate, some floors being used for complete parties of about twenty. we were taken up to the third floor which has several smaller tables. The food was excellent and although we knew what to expect was cooked with a different twist so we didn't realize what some dishes were until we tasted them. Service was pretty good too considering them were really busy by 8 so definately worth booking.

Good service and we were very quickly seated but not rushed out of the place. The food itself was great-not too expensive. The restaurant itself was quiet and relaxed. Would recommend.

Great little restaurant on Brick Lane; the food is well priced and the location is brilliant. The chicken dish I had was lovely - the only downside was that my dining companion ordered a lamb dish, and felt that the lamb had been overcooked (the sauce, however, was lovely). Would definitely visit again!

Very good food, nice staff, woul really recommend it. I didn't know any Indian restaurants in brick lane, I knew that there weee plenty of them, so I looked up for one with very good recommendations and found this. And I agree with the rating.

Very fast service, extrelly busy on a saturday night. Delicious food throughout. Reasonable price. Wrong main bought out but quickly corrected no problem. Best chicken meat - tender and tasty. Vindaloo sauce a little rich and thick compared to what I am used to but very good heat. Poppadums and Nanns excellent.

I initially ordered a vegetarian dish which was ok, although a little mild for me, I asked a staff member if I could have something to make it more spicy. He then brought me a totally fresh dish which I enjoyed much more. Excellent service from this member of the team. Lime pickle dip was also very good.

We had a great time here. The food was delicious and portion sizes very good. Staff were wonderful and gave us all after dinner drinks too and magnets which was such a nice touch as we had visitors with us from over seas.

We went on a weekday evening so the restaurant was fairly quiet but not empty. Restaurant decor is fairly basic. The food was very good but service could have been a little more smiley!

Great Indian on Brick Lane, a place that can become very confusing for finding a decent Indian! Fast service and nice atmosphere. Food was very tasty with huge portions - couldn't even finish it all!

The staff were helpful and friendly. We ended up letting our waiter choose our meal, he knows what the best items are! Everything was super, would recommend Monsoon to anyone wanting to experience Indian hospitality. They even provided a frozen birthday dessert, complete with a candle for our daughter's 19 birthday! Thanks again

Delicious and friendly, polite staff. I would come back to this restaurant and I would recommend it. Although we didn't, it is worth noting that some others haggled a bit at the door and got a discount from their bill.

The food was tasty and came in good amounts. It is Bangladeshi so not what you might expect of Indian food. We tried what was recommended to us and a couple of our usual dishes. Glad we were adventurous! One note, it is very noisy.
