My friend and I decided to try out the new Indian restaurant, Masala Monsoon in Parma, and I'm so glad we did! I've never had Indian food before, so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect or what to order--but everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The ambience of the restaurant is very welcoming and fun, making it a great spot to try something new. For appetizers, we had Lasuni Gobi, which is crispy cauliflower tossed in a garlic chili sauce with bold Indo-Chinese flavors. It was really tasty, though definitely on the spicier side. We also tried the Vegetable Samosa, the crispy pastry with spiced potatoes was really interesting burst of flavor. For our main meal, we went with Chicken Tikka Masala, which was grilled chicken in a creamy tomato sauce with aromatic Indian spices. Paired with Garlic Naan and served with a side of rice, it was absolutely comforting and flavorful. Everything we tried was fantastic, and the staff were welcoming and helpful, especially since it was my first time trying Indian cuisine. Our server was very attentive and helpful with suggestions on what to order. Marsala Monsoon is definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're curious about Indian food or just want a fun, flavorful meal! read more

This new restaurant's delicious offerings from Northern India are outstanding! My husband & I feel it offers a distinctive, close challenge to our favorite Indian restaurant - Indian Garden, Lakewood! Congratulations to the chef/owners! read more

Masala Monsoon is such a gem! From the moment you walk in, the decor catches your eye, super stylish, colorful, and just a really fun, welcoming vibe. It feels a little upscale but still comfortable. The service from Jadin was fantastic. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being over the top. Now the food... SO good. And this is coming from someone who doesn't usually like Indian food. Everything we tried was flavorful, well-balanced, and honestly just delicious. Nothing was too heavy or overpowering, which I really appreciated. Definitely recommend giving it a try, even if you're not usually into Indian cuisine like me. I'll 100% be back! read more

We had made reservations for a Saturday night for 9 including 2 kids to celebrate a friend's birthday and were seated in less than 5mins since our arrival. We ordered a round of Guava shots for everyone that came in a cute decorative wheel cart, I ordered a Green Mango Rush for myself and husband ordered a Lychee Breeze Martini - I loved the taste of mine, it had a sweet and sour finish to it with a rim of spice and salt, lychee martini was decent but we've had better. For appetizers we ordered a bunch of stuff including the Chicken Tandoori, Amritsari Fish Fry, and chilli chicken - that was one of the best chicken tandoori and fish fry I've had this side of the world, the chilli chicken was ok cos I've had better. For mains we ordered a Rajasthani Red Flame, Chicken Chettinad and Dal Makhni with some bread baskets to share - loved them all. The lamb in Rajasthani Red flame was soft succulent and the flavours were perfect. The Chicken Chettinad was not too spicy which is good, the warm flavours of the South Indian spices and curry leaves was delectable. However, the Dal makhni could've been better it wasn't half bad it's just I've had better dal makhni in Cleveland. We ordered some butter chicken pasta, malai chicken and cheese naans for the kids who absolutely loved it. We did not expect the butter chicken pasta to be so scrumptious, the adults loved it equally. Except for a couple of things like the chilli chicken or the dal makhni the rest of the food and experience was finger licking good. We've had hit and misses with Indian food outside of the country but Masala Monsoon is definitely a hit, looking forward to being back and enjoying some more. The decor is pretty cute with artificial flowers adorning the ceiling and an Instagram background for our pictures. The service was pretty decent, it was a busy day and they were backed up on orders but the staff and chef were kind enough to ensure the kids food arrived quickly while the appetisers kept us ruminating while the mains arrived. The staff is pretty polite and helpful, since we had brought in cake to celebrate a friend's birthday, and we're a large group, they accommodated us and even joined us in the celebration. It was a wonderful experience being here and I am looking forward to being back and enjoy some more of that scrumptious food especially the Tandoori chicken, Amritsari Fish fry and Rajasthani Red flame. read more

We enjoyed lunch here today. And by enjoyed, we mean we loved it, every bite. Started with rosemary naan bread and then added the garlic cilantro naan. Both were fresh, light, and seasoned well. We ordered the Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh (1st time trying), vegetable Biryani, and a side of mango chutney which packed some surprising heat, but didn't overpower. Each dish has incredible depth and layers of flavor showing some serious skill from the kitchen, thank you! We ordered our dishes as "mild" and it was just enough spice/heat. But it didn't burn, it elevated the flavors. As good as the food was, our server, Jidan was always there when we needed him and also super friendly, made us feel welcome. Thank you! Highly recommend this place; it's also perfect for date night or special occassion as the inside is beatiful and relaxing. It's our 4th time eating here and we'll keep coming back. read more

Clean establishment, very friendly staff. Enjoyed the mango lassi and the tandoori salmon had a good marinade that was well seasoned. The mint sauce was superb and you could taste the freshhess of the herbs, well done. read more

Great food, unique offerings, nice location and friendly service. This is a fun new Indian fusion-style restaurant. I was in town visiting some friends and heard this place was newly and highly recommended. Although it's Indian fusion it style has many of the classically prepared dishes and some fusion offerings like the pizza and certain appetizers (pani puri shots and beet chop). Staff was also friendly, inside decor is modern Indian with some areas giving a Instagram worthy backdrop. But I was there for the food; it was enjoyable and unique. Price point. Felt a little high with serving size on the smaller end. Nonetheless food was good and I would come back here. The foods are all prepared fresh and the chutney even has a freshly made taste. Bread basket is not on the menu but can be ordered if asked. Beet chop comes with 4 pieces and a mango chutney that puréed. Samosa Pizza was different than any other Indian fusion pizzas , I've had elsewhere and is very filling. Paneer tikka was good but barely had a diced capsicum here or there. read more

This was our first visit to Masala Monsoon at Parmatown where Antonio's restaurant was. The decor and ambiance was Elegant with white table cloths and linen napkins. The service was Excellent with food served quickly and perfectly prepared. We tried a little of everything and loved the paneer tikka and vegetable samosa appetizers and the butter chicken, lamb biryani and gobi. Prices were reasonable and there was plenty of food. Highly recommend! read more

A great new restaurant in the Shoppes at Parma! When I walked in, I was immediately greeted by the friendly stuff and pleased by the pretty decor. For lunch, I ordered crab soup ($10) and lamb korma ($20) with mild spice. Both were delicious! The soup came with a few pieces of crab, and it was rich and flavorful - it kind of reminded me of lobster bisque. The lamb korma was also fantastic. The curry was creamy and had a nice subtle sweetness. It was served with a bowl of white rice, which was great when soaked in the curry. In addition to the soup and lamb korma, the staff served us complimentary far far at the start of the meal. read more

Food was delicious. Services was great. Pratik was very attentive to make sure the table had what we needed.

Such an amazing eating experience. The food here was delicious. Got a few dishes; my favorite being the samosa pizza. Incredible. I don't know how I've been alive for 36.5 years and hadn't tried samosa pizza before now. I kept saying aloud, "every bite just gets better and better." There are a lot of great Indian restaurants in the Cleveland area, and even just Parma. This now ranks as my favorite. On top of that, the vibes and ambience are very chill. Great decor. A+++; 10/10; 5 stars; Siskel and Ebert give it two thumbs up. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

I went to Masala Monsoon with my boyfriend who has never really had Indian food and we had a great experience. Being half-Indian, I've grown up around Indian food so I knew what to order based on what I liked and what I thought he would like as a first timer. Walking in, there are flowers everywhere which wasn't what I was expecting but it was really beautiful inside. I loved the way they decorated the place. They even had a wall of flowers with a lit up neon "Masala Monsoon" sign that you could take pictures with. We ended up ordering mango lassis which were really yummy, I just wished they were a bit bigger. For our appetizer, we ordered samosas which as always, were delicious. For our entrees we ordered chicken tikka masala (my favorite) with a side of garlic naan and rice. Something that is really unique about their menu is that they offer Indian style pastas and pizzas. My boyfriend and I also shared their butter chicken pasta which was to die for. That dish was the perfect way to ease him into Indian food without overwhelming him. The service was also great. All the servers were very kind, friendly, and helpful when it came to ordering. I highly recommend this spot if you love Indian food or want to try it. I will be coming back soon! read more

10/10 recommend! The aroma of the delicious food cooking hits you right in the face as soon as you step in the door. The dining space was very clean, light, and welcoming. The service was fantastic and the food even better. The flavors in everything we ate were so fresh and full-bodied. We ordered Hariyali Kebab (spinach and cheese patties) as an appetizer; I'm not going to lie, I wasn't so sure it was something that I would be into, but wow. The spices and herbs in what sounds like a very simple dish just took it to the next level. And then it was served with a savory but sweet mango sauce/chutney that complemented it perfectly. Absolutely delicious in flavor and texture. For entrées, we ordered Rajasthani Red Flame and Kadai Chicken with sides of garlic and plain naan. The lamb and chicken in the dishes was extremely tender, the sauces were full of flavor and everything was served hot and in a timely manner. My dish (which I asked to be medium spicy or a "6 out of 10") was the perfect amount of heat for me too. As someone who loves to try new Indian places, Masala Monsoon might be my new go-to. If you haven't been yet, give it a try! read more

Simply amazing! Food, service and ambiance were top notch. Upscale like dining experience without being formal. Carefully crafted menu. Authentic Indian taste as compared to places that try to do 'something different' while losing the true taste. Clearly a great chef is at work here. Every single item we tried here was amazing. They went out of the way to make our special day extra special. We highly recommend it. read more

Masala monsoon is a newer addition to Parma's Indian food scene. As soon as you walk in, the interior is just beautiful. I give it 5 starts for their service and the food. The waiters made sure we were all having a good experience and checked up on us many times throughout the meal. They were very attentive. The food was really good as well. Loved the tandoori chicken pizza. read more

Absolutely disgraceful experience. We had a reservation and came on Valentine's Day, yet were treated like we were invisible. We waited 1 hour and our food never arrived. Meanwhile, white people seated after us at the next table were fully served and finished their food. We weren't even given water. As we were leaving, the food that they brought to our table was cold and stale. I wouldnt trust this place with food - I guarantee you will get sick. This wasn't just bad service--it felt discriminatory. If I could give 0 stars, I would. This place does not deserve anyone's time or money. read more

Excellent food! Nice service! Medium spice is not too spicy. Great veggie appetizers. We'll be back!

Another hidden gem in Parma, with pleasant decor, music, and service and exceptionally good food. The aloo gobi and dal makhni were outstanding, as was the naan and paratha. Will be back to try more dishes for sure. read more

The chicken in the butter chicken was tender, the mint sauce was very fresh and delicious and complimented the samosas, which were huge. I don't normally care for samosas as I normally find them dry or gummy, but these were delicious, with a flakey pastry. I enjoyed them and would definitely order them again. Order the mango lassi and the Indian coffee. We dined here on a friend's recommendation, who said this is her family's new favorite Indian restaurant, and it's become ours too. Service was excellent, ambiance was charming with white table clothes and chair covers, faux wisteria with fairy lights hanging from the ceiling - not what I think of as traditional Indian decor but elegant and beautiful. read more

Delish!! Great food and drinks, perfect spice level! Lamb shank fall off the bone. We also loved the butter chicken

Food, service and drinks were amazing! My husband and I really enjoyed our time here.

I don't give many reviews but this place was FANTASTIC. I ordered the butter chicken, basmati rice, and garlic naan. Everything was delicious. Will be coming back again and again. read more

This is our new favorite Indian restaurant in Cleveland. I had the Chettinadu Chicken and it was wonderfully fresh and tasty. I also had perhaps the best paratha ever. It was buttery and nicely layered, as it should be. My spouse had the chicken korma with rosemary naan. She loved it. I had a taste, and she was not wrong. Also, the dining room is comfortable and nicely furnished with flowers everywhere, for a great ambiance. They are newly opened, and only have beer and soft drinks, not the cocktails promised on their sign. read more

Really good food! Tried 8 dishes with my family and we loved them all. Definitely recommend.

Good, innovative food and excellent service. Some items I don't usually see on the menu, too. I'll definitely come back.

From the time I entered, Shiva took care of everything. He ushered in what would be one of the best Indian lamb dishes I have ever had. The chef and ownership have designed a very sophisticated and successful menu. Most importantly, they execute. The ambiance is inviting and elegant. If you're lucky you just may hear Shiva singing along to the music, very talented. Thank you all for the wonderful experience! read more
