[Monsoon Restaurant
Restaurant Review
Entering the restaurant from San Diego’s bustling Gaslamp Quarter, Monsoon diners are warmly greeted by an intoxicating aroma of spices wafting up from Chef Ashley Popat’s delectable Indian-inspired dishes. Deftly negotiating tradition and fusion, her menu presents purist renditions of less familiar fare, like the Dizzy Nu Shak banana curry, alongside playfully flavorful cultural pastiches like the Masala Hummus. The restaurant itself is also tastefully eclectic: walls festooned with Indian musical instruments and murals are lighted by antique-looking chandeliers, while a Bollywood-esque trip hop soundtrack mingles with the dulcet sounds of a prominent water feature. Monsoon goes beyond gastronomic indulgence: it is a feast for all the senses.

Title: | Indian Sweetness |
WOW! I was hesatant of visiting this location because i read a few bad reviews, (but you know how those go) but was rewarded BIG TIME. The staff was very friendly and profesional, the food was awesome, and the bar selections were way above average. I recogmend the mixed grille with garlic naan and the chicken tika masala. And from the bar, the mango tini, infact the bar tender actually asked me how i would like the drink made and then personally delivered it to me, thats service. Furthermore all the dishes are also made custome to your liking. Another huge selling point for me anyway was that as i entered the establishment, one of my life time idols, MIke Ness from Social Distortion was thanking the waiter as he left. To me thats a selling point. Definatelly try this one out!
