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.

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.

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!

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!

We chose not to dine in and do a take out instead. We ordered rice, dal tadka and vegetable curry to keep things simple. Waited in the restaurant while the order was prepared. They have a full fledged bar and a TV screen. Seemed like a nice restaurant to spend the evening enjoying good food & drinks. The ambience of the restaurant was great and it was not a busy evening. The order was ready in under 15 minutes. The food was well packed and they added papads and raitha to the order. The food tasted authentic. Pricing was moderate and the location is right opposite to the tram station. Will definitely try Maharaja again when I visit Helsinki.

Variety of veggie dishes - chickpea curry, paneer with peas, daal (lentils), chicken curry, naan bread, rice, and yogurt. The yogurt was slightly tart and super thick (greek yogurt x 3) - liked the tasted but not the consistency. Enjoyed the chicken curry but wish it was boneless. Paneer and daal were favorite dishes - which is a big deal for a carnivore! Did not care for the piece of rollcake served for dessert - tasted like out of convenience store bag. Service: 3 stars. Our group had a special buffet meal setup. Food was replenished in the beginning but not towards the end. No extra plates provided for refills - people had to reuse their original plate which is hygienically a bit off-putting. Our pitchers of water were refilled on initial request and then automatically thereafter. Bottom Line: Food was good but service needs some work. Would revisit for takeout or non-buffet meal.

I'm a cook and have worked in a Indian restaurant this is just disgraceful.
