    First time trying this place and it was surprisingly good. There was a nice mix of south Asian dishes with lots of meat and veggie options. The food itself was really good - flavourful, without being excessively spicy. Portion sizes were a bit smaller than expected, especially with the price of the dishes. Service was decent but could’ve been better. Definitely worth a visit.

    I've avoided Indian restaurants for years because I have many allergies and invariably got poisoned every time I tried to eat at Indian, but decided it was time to try again. Monsoon was a perfect choice. Our server, Vivek, took great care of us, and so did the chef. They even make all their own sauces and ingredients, so they can be confident about what is in each dish. (Anything where the chef thought there might be even a tiny risk of cross-contamination he warned us about.) The food was delicious. And the service was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back.

    We stopped for an afternoon bite before heading to the airport. Monsoon India is conveniently located between downtown and the airport on Gateway Blvd. Our guest is vegetarian, so we had to factor that in. Monsoon was the perfect spot to enjoy thoroughly crave-able appetizers and a bowl of delectable dal that our 'veggie' friend had never tried before. Paired with fluffy nan bread, it is so soul satisfying. Everything was totally delicious and arrived promptly along with tasty tamarind dipping sauce and spicy cilantro chutney. Monsoon India never disappoints.

    We were a group of 5. We found the main courses excellent! We had the beef dish, the basa biryani, the chickpea dish, lentil dish and butter chicken. All were rich in spices with the perfect amount of heat. Butter chicken tasted great but think they were just a bit skimpy on the amount of chicken. We started with the vegy sleeve of appetizers as well as the nonveggy sleeve of appetizers. I would probably pass on the appetizers in the future as most was deep fried. So we will stick to the main courses, but we do plan to return.

    Disappointed in the food, we had smoked butter chicken and there was nothing smoky about it. This was our second visit and we came back as the food the first time around was fabulous. This is a clear hit and miss restaurant. Service was just ok, had to flag the servers multiple times for attention and no one bothered to swing by to check if we were okay or needed anything or if the food was per our liking. Not going to be visiting again!

    I’ve been there so many times and I highly recommend the food and service plus the ambiance. It was the first time for 2 of my girlfriends who dined in there and they were impressed. We didn’t finish our food so we decided to take it out but maybe due to the busyness at that time the server didn’t gave us our food. I tried calling the next day but the lady told me she will asked the evening crew but didn’t call me back. Overall it was fantastic.

    Always a great experience, wonderful staff that work here and excellent food. I would say the best Indian food in the city. Watch out for great daily specials too such as half price wine.
