Re: Monsoon Fine Cuisine of India
I wanted a quick meal because I left my dog back at the hotel and didn't want her to be frightened alone so I ran over to Monsoon to get take-out food. The gentleman was so kind and understanding and put a rush on my order. When it arrived, it smelled delicious. I could hardly wait to get back to the hotel to dig in. I really appreciated the quick service and gave him $10 for his troubles.
The tikka masala was delightful. I ordered everythng med-hot and it was just right. I forgot to order raita but thankfully did not need it. The naan was plain. (I usually get garlic flavored) My Lamb Vindaloo had generous a amount of lamb in it with a wonderfully flavored sauce. The portions at this restaurant are large. I shared my basmatti rice with my baby (dog). The two of us pigged out and loved it!
