AlexisBVIPDined on 7/17/2014Best, absolute best Indian in the area. Never disappoints, always consistent - everything about this place speaks of authenticity. I am a die-hard Chana Masala and Naan fan and Monsoon's is the best. The service is always impeccable and the owner is wonderful. On weekend nights in the Fall and Winter it can get crowded - best to make a reservation. Since this restaurant has been receiving rave reviews, it is more difficult to get into it. But, that said, it is well worth it.Special Features: - Consistent excellenceMunsonVIPDined on 7/9/2014The food at Monsoon is outstanding and creative. On our last visit they had a cabbage dish that was addictive and delicious. The servers are friendly and attentive. The only downside is that it is very easy to overindulge in their decadent buffet!Special Features:
- Girls' Night OutLizzieEDined on 6/27/2014My girlfriends and I celebrate each others birthdays by going out to BYOBs where we can eat and catch up. They were a bit reluctant when I chose Monsoon because many of the ladies had never tried Indian food, but they LOVED it. They had a great time, the meal was delicious, and they were pleasantly surprised when the bill arrived. The evening was wonderful.Special Features:
- Office Lunch OutOfficeGroupDined on 6/26/2014I made reservation for 7 and table was waiting and ready for us. The staff was very nice and the restaurant is very clean. I have never eaten Indian cuisine before, so for my first pass at the buffet I got a little bit of everything and liked everything I tasted. I went up for seconds and wound up getting more of everything I got the first time. The group included a few that were Indian and others that are not but have eaten a good amount of Indian cuisine before. They said that it was not as authentic as they make at home, but very competitive with other places they have eaten ate, considering most places have Americanized much of their taste (so not as hot or spicy). All agreed the food was of good qualitySpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/19/2014For local Indian food served with care, this restaurant is one of the best. The service and selections are excellent. The staff is very helpful in helping you order and the dishes come to the table well displayed and prepared.Special Features:
- Family GatheringBruceDined on 6/14/2014The wait staff was very attentive and helpful describing menu items. The waiter offered to comprise a mixed appetizer platter for our group of five based on the items we were considering; this was not something listed on the menu and was greatly appreciated. The food was excellent and plentiful. We will definitely go to Monsoon again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingGreatDined on 6/6/2014The food is great and service is very good. Will definitely go there again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Indian placeDavidDined on 5/31/2014I took a date there, made a reservation, and they gave me a nice table near the window. The food was excellent and the servers came by many times to see if we need anything.Special Features:
- The food was AMAZING!MotherLYearthDined on 5/23/2014The food was outstanding. The flavors were so complimentary to the other foods we ordered, spicy but not hot spicy. They are willing to taper the spice to suit your tastes, you just have to ask. It is a BYOB but in case you forget, there were lots of gorgeous, delicious looking drinks that were coming out to other tables, although we did not order any. The food is presented family style. Each of the four of us had gotten an entree and three of us took half of it home. The menu doesn't say it but everything is pretty much ala carte. Rice does come with the entree but if you want naan or a soup, they need to be ordred seperately. Prices were very reasonable.Special Features:
- Great Food! Great Place!lroesch04Dined on 5/17/2014Love this restaurant. Indian food that never disappoints. A total find!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood Gem in Mount LaureldinewlasDined on 5/11/2014Monsoon is a neighborhood gem, with first class service and authentic Indian food. Great buffet! My guests were impressed.Special Features:
- bitemeVIPDined on 5/9/2014We brought some friends who were not big fans of Indian food - too much curry - but after this experience I'm sure they will reconsider - they loved the chicken tikka masala - one of my personal favorites and thought the breads were outstanding - especially the Kashmiri naan Needless to say, a great time was had by all Thank you very much
- Great food for picky dinerspicky2Dined on 5/3/2014Took some friends for first time visit.A vibrant place with ample parking.A must for reservations as it packs up quick.A bit on the loud side,but lively at least.Papadam served at first was a hit.Appetizers were nicely garnished.Quality was evident.Entrees were good size,as one can fill up quickly. The restrooms were interesting with unusual floors. all in all a great experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- We went for restaurant weekJRocks888VIPDined on 3/19/2014We went for restaurant week and we had to ask the waiter for a restaurant week menu after we sat down. The food was just ok. Some entrees were a bit bland. The service was just ok as well. The waiter didnt seem thrilled when we had questions about the menu. However, the decor of the restaurant was nice. We saw a lot of group gatherings.Special Features:
- Good Indian EatsEnjoysgoodfoodDined on 3/18/2014Loved the relaxed atmosphere, the waitstaff was very attentive, and extremely helpful explaining the different dishes. The desert recommendation of our waiter was absolutely delicious. 4 course dinner for $35.00 can't be beat. Food was prepared to our specifications and was very tasty, The restaurant was very clean, the music was low and a great accompaniment to the meal. Will definitely be back.Special Features:
- FairLuckyLindaDined on 3/7/2014Been coming on and off since opening. Food years ago spicy now bland. Tablecloths! Lunch be early. Buffet doesn't get replenished often. Using cheaper ingredients. Don't go without coupons! While service is attentive for buying or adding onto bill, their attentions to oversights like no raisins with halwa ( as written on menu) is taken as a joke and ignored. Lots of showered attention given to those of same race.Salmon delicious. Butter chicken fair. Menu limited. But it's in neighborhood and tables available. Would go back to support neighborhood. Was there when they bought local newspapers and asked clients to rate them for best of Philly. They skew their ratings for business hence why trust the food? Bit sketchy practice for my taste.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a good mealMoorestownDinerVIPDined on 2/16/2014My wife and I came here with a friend of ours this time, and as always, the meal delivered. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. Love coming to MonsoonSpecial Features:

- Excellent Indian cuisineLarrySDined on 12/31/2013We have eaten at Monsoon twice -- most recently, on New Year's Eve. We were seated at our reserved time in comfortable chairs. Tables are reasonably close together so there was some noise, but it was not objectionable. Our server cheerfully opened the bottle of wine we brought with us (BYOB). Given the holiday, we were offered a prix-fixe menu that had a surprising number of choices for soup/salad, appetizer, entree, breads, and dessert. Our party of three sampled different dishes from each section of the menu and enjoyed everything we ate. The food was well presented and portion sizes were plentiful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.Special Features:
- great restaurantclfab86Dined on 12/21/2013I went to monsoon Indian restaurant with my friends for my birthday. The food was great and so was the atmosphere. The servers were great as well in that they gave information pertaining to each dish. Also, this is a byob spot. I plan going back to this restaurant with my boyfriend. Maybe Valentines day.cSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Indian foodMexVeganDined on 12/14/2013We enjoyed our evening dinner. We thought we would also enjoy the lunch which is served buffet style. The food was highly spiced which was done to prohibit going back for seconds. The Tandori chicken was good, but not enough of it. Spend a little more and go for dinner which is excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this placeJp123Dined on 11/3/2013Me and my wife have been going here for years. I have never had a bad experience here. The service is outstanding. The owner is always there ready to greet you. . I can't say one bad thing about this place. When makings reservations my table is always ready you are not rushed. It's not about how many people they get in the door but how many people return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reasonably priced Indian BYOBMicahBVIPDined on 10/19/2013Monsoon has an excellent lunch buffet for the work crowd, but also is a nice, inexpensive low-key choice for dinner--whether you bring the whole family or it is a date night. From the host to the wait staff, the service was friendly, attentive and accommodating. We laughed (in a good way) at how inexpensive our dinner was. With BYO, we paired Indian with a Cakebread chardonnay, and had a pleasant meal. The only minor complaint was that the dishes were a bit too spicy. Next time, we'll simply ask that they tone the spice down a bit. However, the water kept us hydrated--and the wait staff made sure to keep refilling those glasses. Overall, I like having the variety to choose from at the lunch buffet. But we'll certainly return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Indian Food in Mount Laurelgraham29Dined on 9/5/2013Monsoon remains the same: an attractive restaurant with a somewhat limited selection that will please the occasional visitor but might disappoint those who wish to explore varietal Indian food. I would like to see them offer one or two specialities each night. The basic menu does offer a fair amount of choice, and we have found the quality to be consistently good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Waiters are a bit pushy inTheGoochVIPDined on 8/29/2013Waiters are a bit pushy in terms of trying to sell you more, but good food overall.
- Happy first timer.luvthisplaceDined on 8/20/2013I went a couple weeks ago with my girlfriend and we had an amazing time! I had never had Indian cuisine before but my girlfriend loves it and Monsoon Indian Cuisine was the perfect place for a first timer and for those with a long history with Indian dishes. Their food was freshly prepared, delicious, and inexpensive I will be recommending this place and planning a return visit!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- If you like Indian food youteddyDined on 8/4/2013If you like Indian food you will keep going back ........we are always pleased with the food. One of the best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Food and Service5starDined on 8/4/2013This was our first time at Monsoon and it will NOT BE OUR LAST. The food and service was excellent, the Tandori Chicken and the South Indian Shrimp were excellent in all respects. We have been to Southeast Asia and have dined in many Indian Restaurants in many countries and I would rate Monsoon among the best. This is by far the best Indian food we have had in the South Jersey area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanaing food!OnthetownDined on 7/26/2013We have been here several times, and each time the food was wonderful. This latest time was for Farm-to-Fork week, and it was particularly fun to select from the items on that menu, which were all delicious. Some in our party selected from the regular menu and commented on how moist the Tandoor Chicken was, which was quite extraordinary compared to that dish at other restaurants. We will continue to return to Monsoon on a regular basis, and we give it our highest recommendation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Why didn't I go before?WayneTDined on 7/14/2013Monsoon was fantastic. Food was out of this world, service was excellent and my wife and I will undoubtedly be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous find!OcbeachgalDined on 7/10/2013The food was amazing ! Each dish tasty and flavorful. I follow a gluten free diet and they were extremely accommodating. Can't wait to return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Food!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/9/2013We have been to Monsoon many times, and the food is consistently very good and always well prepared. Three of our group had lamb dishes which were all very good, I had the Chicken Tikka which was great. Also our favorite appetizers, Aloo Papri Chat and Vegetable Somas were great. The server was attentive but not obtrusive and answered all of our questions with regards to specific ingredients. I would highly recommend Monsoon as having the best Indian Food in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingVegetarianVIPDined on 6/27/2013Great food, BYOB, with nice table settings and a pleasant atmosphere. Best Indian food around. Modest prices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- best Indian Restaurant in NJ?OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/25/2013The Monsoon was well above average - one way to assess that is the way they choose meats... I am a vegetarian( well, most of the time...hahaha..) and because of time restraint we did choose the Lunch Buffet both the chicken and the lamb where choice meats the bread was as it must : hot & softend and made succulent by melted ghee i am already "selling" it to My friends & familyI would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Indian cuisine.KkwolffDined on 6/21/2013From start to finish, everything is Fabulous! Easy online reservations, lovely staff, relaxed atmosphere, and most important, the food is fabulous. I've been to many Indian restaurants, this is one of the best!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No wonder it's Zagat Rated 4 starGingerDined on 6/15/2013I have been to lunch - the buffet - at Monsoon but this was my first time for dinner - with friends and 2 kids - but all was wonderful, delicious food and affordable. I love this food. If you don't care for Indian food - you still love the chicken tikki masala and butter chicken. It is worth coming to this restaurant - one of only 2-3 in Burlington County this highly rated....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
