Samosas
Elaine L.

Our waiter was warm and polite. I liked the lighting and the subtle music choice. We ordered the garlic. We ordered samosa's, chicken tikka, and the chicken biryani. 5 stars on the samosa's and the garlic naan was excellent with just the perfect crisp. Loved the tikka sauce and the kick of the biryani. There wasn't enough chicken meat in either dish, but other than that it was hot, the spice was perfect and over all we really enjoyed it. I'd eat there again. The mango lassie is a must

Such a delicious lunch! The masala tea was flavorful and comforting. There was not a noon buffet the Friday we went; we saw the set-up for it so perhaps that is a weekend or dinner option. I ordered the lunch special, which includes naan, - veggie entree, tikka masala and rice pudding and it was delicious! The menu includes lamb and goat as well as vegetarian entrees; biryani, samosas, and roti and several kinds of naan. The variety of options is impressive. This restaurant is tucked into the corner of a corner strip mall; don't give up, just keep driving around the building and you'll find it.

This was the best Indian food we've ever had, anywhere. The pakoras were delicious . They came with the usual mint and tamarind sauces, but also included an amazing sweet onion sauce as well. The badami chicken was juicy and original with onions and garlic. A large portion. Even the garlic Naan was made to perfection. Service was A+, can't wait to return and try more of their offerings. A secret find in Topeka!

A bit hidden but delicious! My first time in Topeka, this seemed to be the place with the best rating with a high number of reviews, and it did not disappoint. Perhaps because it was a rainy Monday, the restaurant was nearly empty. The food, however, was everything I could have hoped for. I started with a samosa, which came with three sauces, each bursting with flavor. I then had the lamb saagwala. My only critique is that the food a bit too temperature hot, but the rice helped with reducing the heat of the saagwala. I ordered it with medium spice, which was perfect (I have a pretty high spice tolerance, but I think you would enjoy it if your spice tolerance is more moderate). Not pictured, I also ordered some ras malai to go as a new dessert experience and enjoyed that as well. I'm not in Topeka often but this is the kind of place I would frequent every week or so.

Peshwari naan. Spectacular!

Few first time dines at a restaurant have been so sure, so dead easy with no doubts after tasting the food. There's something very special going on in the kitchen here for lunch on a cold Friday lunch time when there were but a half dozen people in the house. And in Topeka of all places, not where I'd expect a meal this exceptional. Nothing against Topeka. I wouldn't expect this in Kansas City or Lawrence where I reside. I've had my share of Indian that was very good but didn't measure up to this in London and New York City. Yes, I said that. In this little hidden away restaurant on the back side of a nondescript shopping center, magic is happening. The subtle spices, the right heat, the after taste, and the chicken and shrimp (the latter particularly difficult to cook well once they've been frozen, and this is Kansas). We had Prawn Saagwala and Butter chicken, both seasoned perfectly. Even the Peshwari Naan was a step beyond, an utterly mouth watering naan stuffed with raisins & dry fruits. Sublime. A chai started us off. No cloying heavy cream, just the hint of ginger and spices and that had been carefully prepared. And best of all, a couple of hours later, your body tells you there was none of the typical restaurant tricks used to make a first-rate tasting meal. No overuse of ghee, heavy cream, too much salt, sugar, etc. This was a hands down perfect meal. We have an appointment in Topeka in January and have already agreed this is a must stop on the way to that. In a town where I found few reasons to trip over from Lawrence, I make an exception to Monsoon. That good, very highly recommended. When I saw they have 250 reviews and a 4.5 star rating I was dubious, until the first taste passed my lips. Other reviews seem to have caught on to this. What a hidden gem that for me is no longer long hidden, but in plain sight, and happily so.

Seek out this place! It is around the corner. The food was amazing!!!! The gobi appetizer was soooo flavorful! You can adjust it to your spice level. The korma sauce and chicken was tender, and full of flavor. Can't say enough great things. The service was fast and great. The garlic naan was nice and garlicky! You also know it is great when they have Trip Advisor awards in the wall.

Hi! My Fiance and I are looking for a place to eat tomorrow for Valentines day, I'm curious about this place. What would be your best delicacy if I come and order food especially for starters?

Sorry! I go for the lunch buffet and have only been there once for dinner. It's been so long I don't remember.
