Order some food, do a little people watching or watch one of the bollywood films that is playing, the Monsoon restaurant group has some specials to offer.
Interestingly, they also own the restuarant Banana Leaf directly across the street, with that one offering more of a southern Indian spice.
Grab your mecero as you may be left to your own private conversation, the menu offers classic tikki masala, roasted tandoori chicken and plenty of dal and paneer options.
For starters, a curry infused hummous option was interesting: creamier consistency, light hummous and touches of paprika, an easy dipping starter:
The Bombay sampler with samosas, fried onion and chicke strips(?), tandori chicken and both the cilantro chile and tamarind sweet dipping sauce was clearly made for the tourists:
The chicken burgh, a marinaded chicken that was baked then roasted to seal in the juices, cooked with onions and bell peppers was a hearty and flavorful dish, with a side yoghurt mint sauce:
The dal, slow cooked lentils provided the fiber of the day:
The mango chicken was an interesting mild curry with mango chunks, an interesting sweet and spicy combo:
The plates created combined a variety of flavors, easily scooped up with some warm naan bread:
For dessert, an Indian ice cream called kulfi, mango flavored.. Tasted like a frozen mango shake with a little cardamom.. Almost like a frozen custard type:
Spice factor should not be an issue for most folks as the curries and spices are minimized. The interior loungey space with a fanciful curtain of rain makes it for a great meeting spot.
