Monsoon Indian Grill

Peter took excellent care as I visited for lunch. I appreciated that the Monsoon cocktail wasn't too sweet and the savory masala tea had a good mix of spices. I have read good things about their lunch deal but I don't make it out this way very often so I went all over the menu. I tried the amritsari fish and lasooni gobi to start. The fish was very tender and the dry herbs and spices made for a great textured surface. I enjoyed it best with the onion chutney. I LOVED the lasooni gobi. It had a great crunch and the sweet garlic flavors were very nicely complemented by the savory mint sauce. I would probably order that every time if I came here regularly. I had to get the mixed grill platter because I wanted to try as much as possible. The lamb kabob was the most rich, the chicken seekh kabob was herbed and spiced fantastically. I wrapped my chicken Tikka up in my garlic naan and dipped it into the masala sauce. The shrimp didn't do much for me but the whole thing had a great presentation. I struggled picking a dessert but Peter recommended the ras Malai. It was fantastic. I had never had paneer in a sweet dish but it ate like a cheesy donut in the sweet cream sauce. I'm so happy for Topeka to have such a wonderfully executed, family-owned Indian restaurant and I can't wait to make it back. Thank you so much to Rajni the owner, Peter my attentive server, and everyone in the kitchen who cooked a delicious meal that I was delighted to enjoy

Food is amazing. Now I must drive to Topeka more often just for this food! My husband and I had the chicken tiki masala, one medium to spicy and the other was spicy spicy! Also had the Chicken85 I believe it’s called for our appetizer, oh man it was so bomb! Oops, almost left off the garlic naan, delicious. I love it there now. We haven’t had the authentic taste since we were overseas. 10/10, highly recommend. Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegan options. Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome! Parking: Parking right in front of the building.

Excellent food. We plan on coming back soon everything was so full of flavor as well as the spice level was perfect. Best food my wife have had in awhile!Food: 5/5

I have had Indian food in many places including some of the great cities in the US. The food at Monsoon is second to none! The flavors are subtle, incredibly well put together and warm your heart. This is far from your classic Indian buffet. Don’t be put off by the location in a strip mall. Just sit down, order with abandon and enjoy the feast of flavors.

We went in for lunch. The food is amazing. Grab an entree and one of the many varieties of naan bread. You can tailor the spice level to your preference. It’s the best place for curries in west Topeka. Vegetarian options: They have 15+ vegetarian options. The food was so appetizing that even my non-vegetarian friends like ordering from it.

This may be in the back corner of a large parking lot but wow this place is adorable! We came dressed up and didn’t regret it! The Long Island iced tea was light and delicious and the chicken korma was wonderful. The chicken was tender and the whole meal was perfectly flavored. Beth was our waitress and she was so great. She made us feel special and met the perfect balance of being there when we needed her but gave us the space to chat.

A hidden jem in Topeka. A must go place if you you like Indian cuisine. Greeted by a clean and inviting environment and friendly staff. I ordered the lahsooni gobhi spicyas an appetizer the garlic Naan and lamb curryextra spicy. The appetizer was the highlight of the meal the texture and blend of spices and the mild heat of the food was in my opinion a amazing. It didn't feel like cauliflower the texture has a meatchicken like feel that held great moisture and flavor with a crust that gave it a great initial bite. The lamb curry I got it extra spicy hoping it would make me sweat a little but it didn'tI enjoy extremely spicy food it was probably way to hot for some people. The flavor of the curry was great, lamb was tender moist and did not find one chewy piece or any extra fat on the meat. Spiciness of the food is not a gripe but what it I wish I would of had was more rice, to me the rice to curry ratio was 1:1 so not enough. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

The best food in town. Awesome drinks, great ambiance and incredible service too. Would recommend 10 times over. Could eat their food everyday bc it is so good. Love this place!Food: 5/5

AMAZING CURRY!! Super delicious. Restaurant is around the side of a shopping center, kind of dirty outside but that’s out of their control. The food was absolutely superb. Definitely could eat there a few days in a row without getting tired. Got takeout and took to a local park, will be doing again next time I’m in Topeka!Food: 5/5

We dined here on 28 Aug 2023. The food was outstanding and very authentic North Indian cuisine. The young man who served us Peter Pereira and his assistant Bipana took great care of us and provided great service. You guys were awesome. We were really blown away by the taste especially the fish kebab, vege briyani and dhal tanka. Highly recommended this restaurant and we will come back again if we pass by Topeka. Thank you, Mukul Luthra
