Reviews for Monsoon Indian Cuisine in Palm Springs, CA
Horrible food. Chicken biryani is like rice mixed with curry. Made the rice all mushy. Tikka masala is around $21 with 5 peices... of chicken. It has zero flavor. On top of that, we had mango lussi and it had a piece of plastic in it. Disgusting. We told thewaitress and she didn't do anything about it. Typically, one would take that off the bill. Anyways, please don't go here. One ofthe worst restaurant I've been to. Remember, good indian food takes time to cook. If the food is coming out too soon, its notfresh or its just touch mix and match. Read more
I went on Thursday, September 22 for the buffet lunch. Both chicken ???? entrees were not freshly made. The butter chicken was... firm, rather than soft. The tandoori chicken was also firmer than it should be. They were both cooked on an earlier date andreheated to serve. There was a selection of various entrees but the vegetable pakoras were also not fresh. It has been hard forrestaurants during the pandemic. The restaurant had fresher, delicious food on previous occasions. I wish them the best. Read more
Love the food but services not so good. The waitress was not very much responsive.
This slop makes Trader Joe's frozen Indian taste 5 stars. Save your rhupies and health and don't come here. 2 years ago I had... a date take me here and he raved about this place and it was absolutely disgusting. I didn't say anything because I figured itwas an off night. I decided to go for Greek food today and when I got to the restaurant it was closed so I recognize thisIndian place and I thought I would give them a more try. What a mistake. The food makes Kal Kan taste foods. The naan wasabismal, thin, dry. You had choices off dried out chicken, or dried out green slop with a dried on crust. The restaurant wasnot busy at all and the people behind the registered just stood around doing nothing. Someone needed to walk up to the buffetoccasionally and clean it and stir the food but that never happened. How this place got a 2021 food review reward boggles mymind. Yuck. Yuck. And YUCK Only reason for three stars was a lethargic but pleasant staff. Read more
Today I realized this is the same owner of the other place I love. This location has a much cozier vibe. It's still a little... tight in here but the overall vibe is more intimate and comfortable. The other location has way more space and is good if youlike that. I do but I also like the feel of this location. Read more
One of the 2 Indian restaurant in Palm Springs. Food was good, they served rice along with curry. Roti mentioned in the menu... was not chapatti. Note:- They don?t serve ale-cart menu during weekdays, I did not like items in the buffet. Read more
Great little place. The buffet was on point. I'll have to admit, I'm not an India cuisine aficionado. That said, the food was... flavorful, and plentiful. I especially liked the Nan and butter chicken. When I arrived, there were a couple of other diners,but it full fast. This is a popular spot. Definitely recommend it. Read more
The food is average at best, and the service is lacking. We had been here once before and didn't plan on coming back, but an out... of town visitor wanted this place based on Yelp. We obliged. I called in to place a take out order since I knew the restaurantis pretty small based on my one prior visit. I was quoted 15-20 minutes and it ended up taking 50+ minutes to get my order.There was a pile up of other people also inside waiting for their order, and it was chaos. I'm sure they don't quote their realwait times because then customers will cancel the order before it's completed. This is not a new restaurant so they should knowhow to better quote wait times on the various days of the week. Save your time and money and go elsewhere. Honestly, go toTrader Joe's and get the frozen Indian food. It'll taste the same, cost less, and take less time. Read more
