It wasn't too spicy if you can handle the heat and it had a tangy taste to it too.

Decided to go here to try it out…read more First of all, the inside is a bit too hot and stuffy. Portion size was a lot smaller than I anticipated, based on other Indian places I've been. The "Virginia Iced-Tea" was really good. I don't know what made it Virginian. Maybe the fact that it was cold and had ice did. The Naan was good, albeit crispy. I'm used to more of a softer, chewier naan and so that was surprising. I had to try the butter chicken and it was a little different too. I still like it just fine, though. Rice was absolutely perfect! Some of the stuff on the online menu didn't match the menu in-house. So I would not believe it if you're looking at the one on their website. Shrimp was so spicy! Now, for the really bad parts. At first, I was pleased to get the complimentary water... until I realized that it was room-temp. Everyone else's was so chilled, there was condensation. Everyone else in the place got very large portions, mine were small. Everyone else got checked at least half a dozen times, I was barely acknowledged or straight-up ignored. When there was interaction, me and my party were treated very rudely. My guess is that it was because 1. they were scarred by the other people there that were being very rude and irritating first. And 2. some of the staff are very preferential when it comes to certain demographics and not very partial to others. Love that old double standard, it's even more delectable than anything on the menu! Final word on this place: not the best, not the worst. Service could be a LOT better.

We stopped by Monsoon on a Wednesday evening while out looking for a bite to eat. Since it was…read morepractically empty, we were seated right away. The restaurant looked quite familiar. I believe I frequented the spot last year, but it was named something else. Either way, it was nice and I loved the decor. After looking over the menu, we decided to start with the Kebab Specials and the Crispy Samosas. Our server was very nice and brought our appetizers pretty quickly. The Samosas tasted great but the Kebab Specials weren't that great. The sauce was good but the meat was very tough. For our entrees, we ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Mixed Grill along with Chili Garlic Naan. The Tikka Masala was amazing and the Mixed Grill was seasoned very well but the Chili Garlic Naan was very spicy. I love spicy food but the green chillis made it almost impossible to eat. I had to order the regular Garlic Naan so that I could actually enjoy it. Overall, we had a great experience at Monsoon! Our server was very nice and the food was good. If you're in the area and looking for Indian food, you definitely should stop in.

I really enjoyed the buffet that they have during the week. I recently went last week and was extremely disappointed. I got the buffet and most of the items seemed as though they had been reheated several times. The basmati rice was hard and crunchy. Probably due to being leftover and put back in the warmer. Same with the Naan. Some of the entrée dishes seemed to be over cooked. Very disappointing because this is one of my favorite lunch spots. The service is always good, very clean and nicely decorated. I hope this visit was just a one off. I give it some time before I try going back..

Even the restaurant has a warm light cozy feel. The waitress we had had such a sweet and wholesome demeanor and was also attentive, she even gave us great recommendations when we couldn't choose a certain appetizer. My partner and I ordered drinks and we couldn't believe how reasonably priced they were, that was definitely a plus! After the drinks the food came out very quick, first were the Lamb Samosas which were very flavorful and the sauce included paired so well together. I ordered the Chicken Vindaloo as my main meal which was so tasty but also spicy!! Please choose your spice level carefully as I got a 3 for mine and was perfectly spicy but if you're not a spicy fan go lower. My partner ordered the Chicken Biriyani and the portion you get for that is HUGE. Expect leftovers. Overall the experience here was a 10/10

Probably because Ethiopian food is wonderful. Things to know if you have never eaten Ethiopian food: * A bread called injera is used to eat with.

This is a storefront restaurant and wasn't busy (which meant I didn't have to wait long for my fresh meal). There is seating available, but I think this will be a to-go spot for me. I got the crab cake sandwich, which was very tasty. It came with a yummy sauce, kale, and tomato. I could do without the kale, as it wasn't soft enough for me. The sandwich was still good! It came with fries. I also got Fried Oreos (yum!) and a mixed berry muffin. I saved the muffin for breakfast a couple of days later and it held up nicely. I am looking forward to trying the milkshakes and ice cream and that chicken Philly I saw on the menu next! Oh and I really appreciated that they have a list of other vegan spots in the area displayed!
