Monsun Fine Indian Cuisine River Edge

Take out review: Update: Aug 12, 2021 After my first review, I continued ordering from Monsun every other week. Over the time I discovered many outrageously tasty dishes like the Samosa Chaat, Nawabi Chicken Korma, Shrimp tikka masala. The Korma requires a special mention, probably the best tasting Korma that I can remember. Its so creamy and sweet, and the chicken almost melts in the mouth. I don’t find much bones in the Goat Biryani anymore either. Monsun has become one of my staple food places for take outs while working from home. Original Review: I ordered a Goat dum Biryani and a chicken kati roll for lunch on a weekday via one of the delivery apps. The ordered was prepared and dispatched pretty fast, and arrived 20 minutes before the ETA. So that was impressive!! I really liked the chicken kati roll. It had huge pieces of chicken and a nice blend of spices and sauce. The wrap was also soft and holding all the ingredients properly. I wasn’t fond of the goat Biryani as much. It was very spicy for me even though I requested mild. So, their regular spice level might have been beyond my tolerance. The Biryani also had a lot of small pieces of bones, which made it annoying to eat the rice. But the quality of the goat was really good, I just wish they had removed most of the bones. Despite the goat Biryani setback, I’ll consider ordering from them again, since that delivery app doesn’t have much Indian options near me.

Wonderfully prepared. Each dish unique. So many Indian restaurants may serve mutiple dishes, but they all taste and are seasoned alike. Not so here. Freshly prepared, not oily, and very gracious service. Monsun really is a hidden gem and glad finally to have tried it after years of driving by!
