Monsoon Indian Cuisine - Indian Near Me - Indio, California

Really good Indian food in Indio. Ordered the dal tadka, shahi paneer and bhindi do pyaza. We got spice level 5 (scale of 1-10) it was a actually kinda spicy! The flavors on every dish hit the mark. In particular the shahi paneer had a great balance of creamy, nutty, slightly sweet flavors and generous amounts of paneer. Only got takeout so I don't have photos but interior was spacious, and the server handling our order was very friendly. read more

This is my go to for great food and service. I love the simplicity of the place. Keep it simple and serve good food. Authentic, dependable quality, and fair pricing. We eat here often and it's always amazing. Chicken Korma and garlic naan...yummy read more

We ordered the Vindaloo chicken, garlic naan, and the tandoori chicken. The food came out hot, and the flavor was punching. The highlights were the vindaloo chicken and garlic naan. The seasoning and spice level were perfect. The Tandoori chicken was good, but it came fully dressed in sauce and was very zesty compared to the tandoori chicken I am used to. As someone who appreciates spice, I love how you can customize the spice level to your liking. The service was great and the staff was nice. read more

We haven't been in to try the buffet since they started it. Sad to say, it wasn't very good. Their location is Palm Springs has a great buffet. This one was very sad. The rice was crispy & burnt. The saag was very sweet, inedible really. The butter chicken tasted off. The tandoori chicken was very tough. The young girl working kept wiping her nose & face with her hand. I won't be back here for a while. read more

Monsoon has a few locations throughout the desert but this was my first time visiting their Indio spot after going to their Palm Springs location a handful of times. Safe to say...it did not disappoint. The space is large, comfortable, and the staff were super welcoming, perfect whether you're popping in for a solo lunch or meeting up with friends for dinner. They also offer a lunch buffet for $19.99 which is a great deal and super popular. Service here is friendly and laid back in the best way. No rushing you out the door, just a relaxed, casual vibe that lets you actually enjoy your meal and take your time. Here's what I'd order again (and again): Chicken Tikka Masala: Call me basic or call me consistent...but a good tikka masala is everything! Theirs is fantastic. The chicken was juicy, the sauce was rich and flavorful. Always ordering this dish here because it's one of the best chicken tikka masala's I've had in a while! 5/5 stars. Specialty Daal: I missed the exact name of this style of daal, but WOW was it good. Creamy, hearty, and packed with flavor. Such a solid option if you're going meatless, give this a try. 5/5 stars. Garlic Naan: Slightly crispier than your typical naan, which I actually loved though. Perfectly cooked with that fragrant garlic flavor, the perfect vessel for dipping into their sauces. 4/5 stars. The only slight miss here was the white rice. Seemed a little more cooked then I prefer but it wasn't a huge deal. Just worth noting. Overall, this is a solid go to Indian spot in the 760. Monsoon absolutely delivers with delicious food and welcoming hospitality. I'll definitely be back. read more

It was the first time I ever had Indian food. It was the first time I was ever there. Everything was really good and fresh staff and servers were excellent. read more

Great place can't believe wait to order from here again, just next time turn the spicy level to extreme where crying to myself is necessary, but I fell in love afterwards. read more

This has become our go to Indian food in the valley. They took over for BurgerIM and it's amazing what they did. The old place had sewer issues and we referred to it as poo poo burger. The new owner took care of that issue and it only smells of delicious food. There is good seating, a clean restaurant, and some spices to purchase if you so choose. We really like everything that we've tried and it's not surprising. Support them and give them a try. read more

Ordered food to go, right off the bat service was excellent. We arrived to have a beer at the bar while we waited for our food to go and great beer! Our waitress was super nice and gave great recommendations! We have tried several Indian restaurants around the valley and I'm going to be honest this is my favorite one now. Everything was absolutely delicious and the inside of the restaurant was super clean and welcoming. Will definitely be back to dine-in. read more

We returned for lunch and were happy to see they offered a lunch buffet with a wide variety of dishes. The server held a large metal compartmentalized dish and ladled the foods we wanted want onto it. The downside is that the food quickly cooled off on the metal plate and the servings were so large that we left a lot of food behind. We prefer a serve-yourself buffet where we spoon small amounts of everything for us to taste, and then returning for a little bit more of our favorites. We also prefer dishes that help maintain the food temperature. Lastly, the naan... When it is done right it is light, puffed up with air pockets, and has a bit of ghee spread on it. Some of the naan here was undercooked, none of it was puffed up, and there was no ghee. While the buffet has a great price point, I think we'll stick to ordering ala carte so that our food stays warm and so that we can take home what we don't finish. read more

Great food.....great service. Every dinner entree was exceptional. Will return often...Recommend the Sag Paneer and any chicken entree

Amazing! The food is phenomenal with such a savory taste. The butter chicken with the level four spice along with rice and garlic naan is to die for, my mouth always waters thinking about it. The service is great considering there's only one waitress when I go and the food is served rather quickly. The ambiance is lovely and calm, I %100 encourage others to give it a try. read more

Food was amazing and staff wasss friendly and attentive 10/10 would def go again, owner was also the nicest!

First time leaving a review on here but I went here with my husband and family on Saturday night and the food was absolutely delicious!! We've been trying to find some good Indian food in the valley and this place has definitely been our favorite so far! The garlic naan was perfect, not too fluffy not too crispy. So many Indian spots we've been to fail to achieve this! Our waitress (her name was Alia/Alicia one of those!) was amazing even though it became extremely packed and it was just her attending tables! I expected to be checked on less frequently once it was packed but no! she was very attentive, sweet and our cups were never empty. 10/10 experience even the owner came out and checked on us! very nice older gentleman. We will definitely be back :) read more

We ordered take out, and it was awesome!!! Ordered the eggplant, vegetable biryani, a curry and saag paneer. Everything was excellent!

Been here a couple of times! Truly enjoyed the food... but we walked in this week and not only did the men say they were closed, but their dirty feet (they literally had black at the bottom of their feet) were up on the table like if they were relaxing un their living room! I was so disappointed! I just discovered this place and now we need to find a new one read more

I've visited Monsoon many times and it never disappoints! From the delicious and authentic dishes to the excellent customer service, every visit is a great experience. We recently celebrated a birthday lunch there and they surprised us with a "birthday" cake made in their kitchen by their staff. It was such a thoughtful gesture! read more

As always, the best Indian food in the valley. Lamb or chicken korma is our favorite!

I just left Monsoon Indian Cuisine and it was great! I had vegetables samosas and fresh jumbo prawns flavored with spices and cooked in spinach. I tried over rice! Delicious! My friend had the butter chicken and garlic bread on the side. The staff was warm and welcoming! Thanks we were driving through and what a treat! read more

I recently used Monsoon Indian Cuisine for an at home buffet for 12 guests. The butter chicken was everyone's favorite. The buffet was perfect. For dining in, the Indio location on Jefferson is a casual comfortable place to enjoy delicious Indian Cuisine. Our family's fave in Coachella Valley. Dishes are fresh, some spiced to preference, prices are fair, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Morna F read more

This is the best monsoon location in the valley in my opinion! It's so delicious every single time never disappoints!

VERY DISAPPOINTING! I have been to this location of Monsoon many times, but usually in season (Nov-early May). Who knows, maybe their usual chef was on vacation, but this was the worst food we'd ever had there. Almost nothing was fresh, everything seemed old and reheated. The cauliflower appetizer usually has a light crisp coating with a tangy sauce. This was heavily coated and the sauce just made it soggy and gummy, like it had been sitting around a long time. The samosas were lukewarm inside. The garlic naan was a CRIME, usually hot, pliable, dripping with butter or gee and fresh garlic, this was like leftover pizza that had been left on a conference room table for hours -- room temperature cardboard with no fresh butter or garlic. The chicken tikka masala and channa masala were good but the chicken berryani was sad. The dark meat chicken was dried out, bland and the whole dish felt like leftovers. We may give them another try in the future, but I hope they regain their freshly made form or they will lose us forever. read more

We went for their buffet service and there was a lot of variety of food, so we had the chance to try dishes we wouldn't normally order. The food quality was just as good during the buffet as it is when you order. The atmosphere is casual and the service was warm. read more

Great job Chef Jyot Singh! A burger restaurant converted into an Indian place with a contemporary vibe. Very clean with a great ambiance. Amazing food prepared with a lot of love with authentic Indian flavors. We tried the Indio location. They have 2 more, one in Palm Springs and the other in Palm desert. read more

I know you see a lot of 5 reviews from me but I really do lnow how to pick great local restaurants. I ordered takeout with delivery for Thanksgiving (I lived in New Delhi for 3 years and love Indian food) and it was great! Chicken saag, aloo parantha, aloo gobi and garlic naan are my comfort food. The quantity gives me three meals out of this bounty. I very much look forward to visiting in person one of these days!! read more
