Reviews for The Drunken Munkey - UES in New York, NY
I have been wanting to try this restaurant for years and finally had a chance to go for dinner. They did not disappoint! I... ordered vegetable samosas as an appetizer and two side dishes chana masala and cauliflower foogath. We also shared some garlicnaan and green beans. I didn’t get rice since I only ordered apps/sides. My mother in law shared her rice with me so I couldtry it. omg the best rice I’ve ever had. I never thought rice could be that good. I’ll definitely be back soon! Read more
This place is a classic NYC gem. Not only is the food phenomenal, but the high caliber staff elevates the dining experience.... Luis made our experience very special. This place is reservation only during dinner so be sure to snag a res early. We lovedsitting at the bar and enjoying the cozy vibes. Great spot if you’re looking to impress a date with a gem.

A small, cozy place in the heart of Upper East Side, casual vibe, fantastic indian food made with just a slight latino tweak,... tasty, consistently good cocktails, and most importantly, staff that will elevate your experience by far. This is your go-toplace. You'll always be welcomed with the smile on their faces, and it'll stay that way until the moment you leave. If you don'tcome and see them, it's your loss. Cheers! Read more
Absolutely delightful and charming restaurant and bar. The cocktails were amazing, the house paanch (punch) is a must. Food was... incredible, best butter chicken I've ever had and garlic naan was perfect. Decor inside was eclectic with ornate wallpaper,beautiful art deco bar, monkey chandeliers, and a gorgeous floor. All the servers were very professional but attentive and hadvery positive attitudes and their energy was a delight. It's obvious they all love working there. We sat outside on a smallbench with rattan stools and a small side table. The outdoor seating also offered covered seating in a small tent with tables. There is a certain energy about the place that sucks you in as you stroll by, a must stop. Highly recommend if you're in theneighborhood. I can't wait to go back. GARRETT the server from JAMAICA made our visit! So kind and funny and professional at alltimes. I'd go back just to have Garrett wait on us again, sincere conversation and a huge smile to match. Check them out! Read more
I got the vegetarian prix-fixe here a couple weeks ago and I was sorely disappointed. I was staying with a friend in the... apartments upstairs and ordered online for pickup. My confirmation said it would be ready in about 30 minutes and they wouldnotify me when was. After not hearing anything for 40 minutes I went down to check and the hostess hands me my meal. I mentionedthat I was never notified that my order was ready and she just shrugged at me. Low & behold my food was cold when I gotupstairs. I ordered vegetarian bc it was the cheapest variety meal on the menu at $30 or $32 dollars. I really only ate thespinach & cheese dish with garlic nhan. The cauliflower was undercooked and pretty bland for Indian food. Will not go back, donot recommend. Wasted $30+ Read more
First time trying British Indian food.. incredible! We got the crispy okra, cucumber mango salad, veggie samosas and the star of... the evening VEGETABLE KORMA (my fave!). Perfect portion size and the garlic naan was chef’s kiss. Can’t wait to enjoy thisspot again. Fun fact they always have a James Bond Roger Moore era movie on the screen above the bar. Kinda fun!

We went there early in the day when the place opened for Brunch. Food felt a bit stale, especially the okra but overall tasted... good. The Mango lassi was quite nice and I’d recommend you try it at least once if you’re visiting this restaurant. We optedto be seated outside which was well ventilated with fans. We did not try their cocktails although this restaurant is known fortheir drinks. Overall, it’s a good place to check-out at least once if you’re in the area. Get there early because the placegets busier during mid to late afternoons. Read more
14 of us patronized this restaurant in their outdoor setup on a very rainy evening. The service was prompt and with a smile. The... food very tasty and was excellent all around. They have a full bar! Will definitely patronize them again!! Read more
