Monsun Fine Indian Cuisine - River Edge

Perfectly prepared. Every dish unique. So many Indian restaurants can serve Mutiple dishes, but they all taste and are flavored alike. Not here. Freshly prepared, not oily and very gracious service. Monsun is really a hidden gem and happy to finally try it after years of driving!

Our family went here to celebrate my aunt's birthday a few weeks ago and get my grandma out of the house for one of the few times during the Kovid. First, my family can wait a little hard. Not rude, just strange requests and what not. But our server took care of us very well all the time. One of our family members had a injured leg and had to maintain it. The server immediately got us an additional chair, no questions asked. When we sat down for the first time, there was no music that made it a little stupid. We asked her about putting up music, and she immediately put some wonderful Bollywood music videos on her huge TV. She took the time to take over the order and answer questions. It was a lot, but she treated us all with patience, and she was knowledgeable at the food. The food took a while to get out, but we were a big party, so fair enough. But when it did, everything was excellent. They told us what each court was like, how they brought them out, what was helpful as we share everything. First we thought we didn't order enough because it doesn't look like a lot. But we couldn't finish it all and had to take home with us, and some of us are quite big eaters. We were filled and it was all delicious. At the end of the meal we were asked for Dessert, and we answered that we went back to dessert, but when she saw that it was my aunt's birthday, she brought Gulab Jamun with a raspberry choke, one for each of us. That was really nice of her and an excellent way to pack the meal without too much for our later dessert. I could also say that she treated our grandmother with patience and extra respect, which was very nice to see. I also want to say that the two best bad reviews, one complains about the prices and the fact that they have signs of a buffet that they no longer have. With Kovid, food prices have doubled to many ingredients. Everyone has increased their prices. Look at almost any other restaurant. And as for the buffet, the restaurant would probably like to return if Covid ever allowed it again. It's a pretty lame move to write a bad evaluation in a place during the Kovid, especially when the things you complain are because of Kovid. Quality of food and service was not even mentioned. The other bad review says they don't even go because they don't like the reactions of restaurants. Well, they lack because this place was excellent, and we received a great service. Good enough if you want to read reviews and not go, but don't leave a bad review for a place you never tried. It's just stupid. Thanks for the great night, Monsun. It meant a lot to us because we don't get all together anymore. Go on what you do!

Quite expensive and they nickel and dime you on everything else (rice is extra, those crackers sauces you get at every Indian place just for sitting down is extra here). Otherwise i thought the food we had was really tasty. I'm not sure if i would dine in again but i would do take out and provide my own rice.

It was fabulous ambience, ample spacious and amazing food. Even the reception and service is so good and homely. Normally if we say indian restaurant, every food item would be greasy. But here, it is very good. Buffet is just $14.99. It has variety of options. Chicken tandoori, Lamb curry, Goat biryani were excellent. My kid also enjoyed a lot. If anyone looking for great food at Indian restaurant with spacious and good ambience It is Monsun.

Wonderful ambience, very warm and welcoming staff.. not to forget a decent spread of menu with veg and non veg tasty food. the dessert.. The gulab jamoon was the best I had since India. The veg curries were just awesome. The staff was also nice and the Indian music they were playing was good too.
