  “French traveler here – we've never eaten Indian food this good! The service was lovely, with a wonderful waiter - shout-out to Shah for the great vibes and good mood (ans his little french words). They even offered us a complimentary drink after lunch. Incredible!”

  “Warm welcome . Staff is most helpful except for one or two persons. Dishes are extremely rapid and sizzling. Mixed Tandoori is nice but I tasted better. Prices are very reasonable. The big negative point are the restrooms. I was concerned for food hygiene when I saw them before leaving.”

  “I really enjoy the food here. I have recent my been to India and I think the food here is really authentic and tastes good. We have also tried Bangladesh dishes and they were really good too. We ordered a platter for starter and the chicken was super tender. The deserts are really good too. The service here was unbeatable. Rafiq is super friendly and attentive. We had an amazing dining experience tonight because of him.”

  “This was one of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve had in London. The only good dishes were the Tandoori Chicken and Chicken 65. However, the Chicken Biryani and Lamb Biryani were absolutely terrible. I have never had such bad biryani in my life. The taste, quality, and overall preparation were very disappointing. The restaurant also did not seem clean. I noticed small flies inside, and because the lighting was so dim, it was difficult to see them. That made the dining experience even worse. The service was poor. The staff were not welcoming, rarely smiled, and came across as rude. On top of that, they added a 12.5% service charge despite the poor service. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. The food quality, cleanliness, service, and value for money were all below expectations. I would not recommend this restaurant”

  “Our experience at The India – Monument was average. We ordered the lamb tikka, salmon tikka, chicken bhuna, and bhindi masala. The food was decent but none of the dishes really stood out. The restaurant was quite dark and dimly lit, making it difficult to see both the menu and the food. We also ordered a lassi for the kids and a glass of wine, but neither ever arrived at our table. Overall, it was an okay meal, but both the food and service have room for improvement.”

  “My wife and I had the pleasure of having lunch at The INDIAN – Monument Restaurant, just a short walk from Monument Station. At first, we were hesitant because it's tucked away on a quiet side street, but it truly turned out to be a hidden gem. The food was delicious, authentic, and the portions were very generous—we left completely satisfied. A special thank you to Mr. Chaand (I hope I've spelled your name correctly 😊), whose calm, friendly, and professional service made our visit even more enjoyable. One small note: the Mango Kulfi tasted more like mango ice cream shaped as a kulfi. However, the Mango Delight was absolutely delicious and definitely worth ordering. If you're looking for great Indian food near the Tower of London, we highly recommend this cosy restaurant. We'll certainly be back!”

  “Such a pleasant diner! The service was amazing, shout out to Shah for his kindness and his beautiful yellow tie 👔 I took the chicken madras which was very flavorful and spicy as I like, and my friends got the chicken tikka masala and they loved it! We had the menu 1 and the starters were great as well!”

  “The food is OK but nothing special and no better than Indian food in NYC. I had high hopes for this place which has high ratings and in London, id expect the best Indian food outside India but not bad but not amazing. Our cost was £53 but only bc we had a special offer we found which we had to remind them to honor it. So at this price, I'd say it's a 4 star location. However folks who paying full price, I'd give 3 stars. As a result I'd give the average, 3.5 stars overall but since we can't, I'll give 5 stars. We had the chicken tika masala and it was not to spicy but not enough flavor either. The samosas seemed precooked . The atmosphere is SUPER dark and loud.. you're in a basement and the bathroom has a pee trough... again, not a bad place but I wouldn't try again. This is the 4th time I've eaten Indian in London... i can officially say now that for me, the best Indian outside India... is NYC.”
