Title: A Great Date

Review: I wanted to surprise my wife with a nice night out together. I chose Monsoon because of its accesible Downtown location and Indian Cuisine. We enjoy trying ethnic foods and Monsoon provided a delicious taste and much more. The friendly wait staff helped make this a special night. We indulged the menu with everything including cocktails, appitizers, entrees and dessrts. Each course of our meal was prepared with care and presented well. We are definitely going to make this a regular spot to eat and will also try the sister restraunts Masala and Bombay.

Title: An Indian Treasure

Review: Monsoon being my first Indian restaurant experience, I was highly pleased with this treasure. The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely--Indian music (great for dancing!), high backed sultan's chairs, and beautiful wall paintings gave the restaurant an authentic, but fancy, feeling. The food was excellent. We ordered the sweet naan, which came with coconut and cherries--a sweet-toothed pleasure before the spiciness ensued. The curry came in four styles of heat--mild, medium, hot, and tiki. We chose the medium, which was hot enough for me! The curry was just right (I ordered mango) and very flavorful. I was pleased that I had been warned about the heat of the dishes, and I would recommend that, unless you can stomach ultra-spicy foods, not to go above medium. All in all, Monsoon was a fun, eclectic, and delicious experience. I would most definitely go again. There are hundreds of choices for anyone, even if you don't like Indian food, and it is hard to choose just one item.

Title: Best Indian food in San Diego

Review: I can't believe all the negative reviews. Well lets start out, I have been to this restaurant several of times and will still keep going. I have been to many Indian restaurants in San Diego County & Las Vegas, NV. This restaurant is a Fine Cuisine!! Its a 5 Star Restaurant!! The food is very delicious and great quality. I love the way this restaurant is interior designed, definitely luxurious. I have gone to have lunch to their all you can eat Buffet for only $10.00... its a must!! However, I have gone at night for special ocassions to have dinner, its the best especially on a friday night!! Don't leave without having a taste to their alcoholic drinks!! Wow, they are amazing!! On the other side, you can also have the mango shake!! Wow, its delicious!! I would definitely recommend Monsoon to everybody!! =) -meli

Editor's Note: The lunch buffet price is now $13.95

Title: Best Indian food in town

Review: Indian food is pretty readily available in San Diego but many places just fall flat. Star of India does not utilize the spices needed in order to truly enjoy India cuisine. Monsoon not only delivers in this aspect but has a wonderful atmosphere and service. Try to mango mousse and chai to top off whatever you order.

Title: Delicious and fun.

Review: I give this a conditional 5 stars. If I'd been in more of a hurry, I would have given this restaurant 4 stars, vecause the wait was rather long. However, there was such a fun atmosphere (belly dancing, but not obnoxiously intrusive) and our waiter was so friendly that we didn't mind the wait. The menu was huge and varied. The selections were well priced. My friend had the lamb kebabs and enjoyed them a lot. I had the spicy paneer salad and cauliflower pakora. Both were yummy though the paneer wasn't spicy enough for my taste. It was still very tasty and my only regret was that I didn't have more room to try more appetizers. I did try the mango ice cream, though, which tasted very fresh and fruity.

Title: Delicious as ever

Review: I recently visited San Diego for the second time and made it a point to revisit Monsoon. Still crowded, noisy, and we still had a ridiculously long wait. But, the four of us showed up at 7:30 PM without reservations, so we knew it'd be a long wait. The waitstaff is very helpful and friendly. The dancer and I had a nice chat. The food was delicious. I had the Kofta, medium spiced. I've been thinking about it for a week and wishing for another serving. The samosas and pakora are well-spiced but not flaming hot. For food this good, I can put up with a long wait.

Title: Excellent restaurant

Review:

My husband and I ate dinner here last week and were not disappointed. We had the Aloo Chatt Massala, Garlic Naan and Nariyar Curry - all were absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed quite a few cocktails and martinis which were just as good as the food! We would not hesitate to go back again. Service from the hostess to the waiter to the busboy was superb!

Title: Fabulous!

Review: I went to Monsoon a couple of weeks ago. My boyfriend and I had reservations for 5pm, which is when they start serving dinner. The restaurant was quiet at that time, so it was very relaxing. The decor is great! We sat near the waterfall. The service was excellent. Our bill was a tad high for me (I'm a student. However, it could have easily been lower. The food was very good. The leftovers did well too. :) Overall, I had a wonderful time!
