Felt like he forgot me at times but I stayed patient !! Nice and clean inside with plenty of seating and some nice seating outside with awning, nice decor classic kinda Indian restaurant.

We had the shahi paneer, garlic tikka masala, and garlic naan - any of which we'd order again. The paneer was good, the naan was top notch, and the garlic tikka masala was a great twist on chicken tikka masala with extra flavor. None of the dishes were spicy, but of course we didn't ask for them to be (but will next time). Only drawback was that the main dishes were a bit pricey (€16-17.50), but that seems standard in Helsinki.

Ravintola Monal really served up what we were looking for! I had a mixed meat thali and loved the variety of the sauces, the raita and amazing nan. My husband wanted spice, and wow, did he get it in his chicken kolapuri. The service was super friendly and welcoming. I just wish we had a bit more atmosphere, but it was a cold Thursday night in Helsinki and there wasn't much of a crowd. But the beer was good and I got a sweet treat for dessert--a little donut drenched in syrup. Yum!

What If there was the most incredible Indian restaurant on the planet, in the most unpredictable location on the planet (Southern Finland), with the most misleading name (Tony's), with the most incredible food that can match the best 5-star+ offering in New York, London, L.A., Paris and most importantly the undiscovered household names of India itself, at the most reasonable price - and you found out about it by reading this review? Answer: you head over to Tony's, a restaurant with the most misleading brand on the planet that deserves three times the price and five times the smiles. Tip: the owner's real name is not Tony, he is Ashwani. He is an Alchemist. Bow in front of him.

I was curious about this place: The name "Tony's" is somewhat misleading for an Indian restaurant…read more However, after reading a few reviews I decided it was time to see (and eat) for myself! Upon arriving me and my boyfriend received a friendly greeting. The place is modest but it has a nice atmosphere that makes you feel welcome. We placed our order of two samosas, vegetable kofta and lamb curry. The food arrived promptly and was packaged well. Our meals were tasty and generous. The nan bread could have been a tad softer but this is my personal preference. My boyfriend also pointed out his lamb curry had some slightly overcooked pieces, but most were great. Good value!

Unlike many other bars, you won't get bored here -- there's always something enjoyable about the energy of the place.

If you didn't go to Cal and you didn't live in San Francisco, you're going to have to read the rest of this review to understand what I just said. Bottom line: it has the mood-ring lighting and kitsch decor of a university-town bar, the cushy coziness of places like Cassanova and the questionable nature of places like Delerium or The Make-Out Room. And... It's. In. Helsinki. This place is the bomb (can I still say that without getting red-flagged by national security or unfriended for being old as a rock?). It's conveniently located down the block from my yoga studio. So I can go from down-dog to down for the count in a matter of minutes. They have specials, too, so I've had some hella (what?! I just used "bomb", too, so shut up) dope (see?) mom's nights out here. The thing is, I like to not act my age so I've also had some really good nights out with friends who round down to 20 vs up to 30, too. Something for everyone! I should also mention there can be dancing here, and I've danced both alone AND with the crowd at Bhangra. On both the floor and on the...nevermind. During the week, it's pretty quiet at happy hour time. The bartenders are funny as all hell and the place is owned and operated by the same special people from Sailor Jerry's. There's not a lot else to say besides GO HERE!
