Whenever we are in London we always book to eat at The Monsoon! The food is absolutely gorgeous, the restaurant is always busy and exceptionally clean. The staff make you feel extremely welcome and are always lovely. Prices of food are very good too, best curry house for us on brick Lane

Amazing food and excellent service - the team were very friendly and attentive. And everyone in our group were equally as impressed. I would definitely recommend The Monsoon to anyone and look forward to returning soon.

Visited a while back and all was good. Surprised this evening to walk in to the supposedly Trip Advisor no1 restaurant in Brick Lane at peak time to find just 4 other diners. When we left, we understood. Something has changed here, and not for the better. Starters were fine, but mains were just so disappointing. At £22 for a fish thali you shouldn't be having to micro-dissect each mouthful to avoid choking on bones (apparently this is 'how the fish is'.). The rest of the thali dishes had the same tomato based sauce with some different bits of fish added. The butter chicken tasted like it had had a bag of sugar added and was inedible. As is often the case, the waiting team tried to make amends by offering a 'free shot' at the end. Please just return to offering decent food.

Compared to the son's restaurant nearby: almost identical menu, we tried the real Bangladeshi dishes, loved the fresh coconut on the naan and in one of the dishes. But yesterday we felt the flavours were even better. Still, an absolutely brilliant place to which we would return again and again.

Good food. Catered to our large-ish, noisy table well. I asked them to just bring a selection which they did without need for further direction. Made a for a good evening all round.

This is the second time we came to Monsoon to have our meal, We took a friend for his birthday and he enjoyed himself. the service has been good both times, however, the chicken biryani my sister ordered is not as good as the special biryani we had when we came a week ago. The overall food today is good.
