Monsoon in Hart

I decided to grab a mid-week curry as we had both been late at work. We decided to give Monson a go, but we are usually more drawn to the other Indian in the village, The Taj. I have to say it was just really disappointing and the food (a takeout) was just very average at best, just really underwhelming and lacked flavour for us. We just ended up throwing much of it away. I just wonder even if the chef or kitchen team even tasted the food before sending it out, it was poor. I think we also have to remember that although these restaurants class themselves as Indian, they are not Indian at all, and are Bangladeshi, so the food is nothing like real Indian. I can only assume that the people that rave over this, either have no idea of what great Indian is or are quite happy to settle for overpriced average curry. It's a shame because they could do much better than this.

All the food was lacking seasoning and to be honest was pretty tasteless. The Butter Chicken was an insipid looking pink colour. Nothing like Butter Chicken at all. Just a sickly sweet sauce with zero flavour. Poor quality pieces of hard, dry, chewy chicken. Dhansak was bland and Saag Paneer no flavour either. I imagine this is an example of a restaurant serving a pile of precooked chicken with a scoop of whatever sauce over the top, warm it up and send it out…really disappointing and a total waste of £30 :-(

We visited Monsoon for the first time to celebrate my birthday last month. It was a fantastic evening from start to finish. The service was outstanding, the food is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced with great portion sizes. Thank you all at Moonsoon for a memorable birthday dinner!

Love coming here… excellent service & great food … live the fact I can try different things & if I don’t like it they change it!!! My partner has been coming here for years….& I now join him!! Always busy both the restaurant & take out…

Visited as a big party of 11 for my husbands birthday. The staff are all so friendly and really made our night. Food was delicious, very hot and all reasonably priced.

Absolutely fantastic experience!!! The staff are wonderful, the food is delicious and the atmosphere makes me want to go back!!! Thank you, we had a great night!!! I would recommend this to everyone!!!

A very flavoursome meal. Started with the Chicken Chat and Onion bhaji. Both were nicely presented and very tasty. We were so impressed with the smell of the chicken tikka that we picked a tandoori mixed grill and chicken dhansak to share. Both were wonderful and the dhansak had so much flavour. The staff were very attentive and the little touchs of sorbet and the offer of after dinner drinks were just an added bonus.

Fabulous meal. Very attentive staff. Flavoursome food and excellent value for money

I booked a family evening meal for 15 of us on Friday 27 December; The wonderful staff led by Jay, produced a fantastic evening with no need to pre-order food. So 15 different choices all beautifully presented with what they suggest is with ease but surely be must be a logistic nightmare! Everyone is given a great welcome at Monsoon and from the moment we arrived, we had fantastic service, wonderful food and a great atmosphere. Thank you so much to the wonderful staff led by Jay. This meal was in place of me cooking! I could not have achieved anything even close! A Very Happy New Year to you all - and we will be back soon! Very best to you all, Maria and Roger

This is our favourite Indian restaurant . The food is always excellent and the service is exceptional. Thank you Abu and your team. We have tried various dishes and they’ve all been delicious! Our son has always loved the chicken tikka and chapatis and they have always made him feel special.

Adore this place. Best place for a curry in the area!

We are regulars here and have been coming here for several years to dine in or get a takeaway. We love it here. We have never had any issues with the food or service. The food, service and atmosphere are excellent.

Amazing food with the most amazing staff to make our special visit super enjoyable! Visited for my son’s birthday and the team could not have made this any more special with attention and enthusiasm!

At Monsoon this evening, the team truly redefined what service means in a dining experience. It’s rare these days to find such a genuine sense of hospitality, and it was quite refreshing. The staff worked seamlessly together, creating an inviting atmosphere where you could tell they genuinely cared about making every guest feel special. Abu, who looked after us throughout the night, made us feel like more than just customers—by the end of the evening, he felt like a friend. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the menu were impressive, and his recommendations were spot on. You could see how much pride he took in presenting the dishes, a sign of a restaurant that truly values its own food and its customers too. The food arrived quickly, hot and delicious, reflecting the precision and coordination of a well-oiled team. The quality of the dishes was exceptional, making it clear that this is a place worth returning to. It’s been one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in quite some time, and we’ll definitely be back.

Just passing through. It was 8.15 on a Wednesday and two other restaurants told us we were too late to be fed... But monsoon staff welcomed us in, served us quickly, friendly waiter, nice food

Wonderful evening with the family for a birthday meal. The staff are exceptional and make this restaurant the most friendliest and welcoming place I have ever visited. Food was amazing and although there were six adults and five children each dish was delivered together piping hot and delicious. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive. The food was wonderful and although it was a Saturday evening and they were busy , nothing was too much trouble. First visit but definitely not the last. Thank you Monsoon for making such a memorable evening.

We had a lovely meal here, nicest curry in a long time! Really good service and we will definitely be back, best Indian I've had in ages.

Great reception on walking into premises. Not very busy when I went in and started to fill up after that (Thursday night). My drink order was not correct on first attempt by staff and I waited quite a while to order my food. I was expecting it to be tastier than it was (Chicken Shishlak, boiled rice, veg vurry), but there was plenty to eat. All in all a bit indifferent considering the welcome.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, very friendly and professional staff. Made to feel very welcome and well looked after from start to finish. Have been a couple of times and never had an issue. Will happily return in the future and recommend to everyone looking for a great local Indian restaurant!

Great food, great service & lovely staff, will definitely be back!

Had a chicken rezala. Had no idea a curry could be that bland. The search for a decent local Indian continues

Have had take away twice recently and both meals have been fantastic.

Takeaway. Really lovely service and then really tasty food. Hot, well cooked tender meat and super tasty sauces. Staying with relatives and really happy with our dinner. Thanks

Really had a lovely night at Monsoon. First time and will definitely be back. Thanks to Sinbad for making it fun. Highly recommend the chicken Karahi - best we ever had!

There aren't enough words to describe the overall experience of this place, great food, great atmosphere, fun and friendly staff, the list goes on. Whether you want a quiet romantic meal, a boys night out or works party they can cater for it all, 100% the best curry house locally. Thanks again for another top experience, would highly recommend. A+++++

Had a table of seven here and had a great night, the owner and family were very welcoming and helped make the night a treat. Food was excellent, and plenty of it, I highly recommend it and will use them again.

The best Indian in the area by a country mile. The food is some of the best I’ve ever had and the owner and waiters genuinely want you to have a good time in there and really look after you. I always look forward to the next time I go. Thank you Monsoon

Wow what an amazing resturant.! Food was lovely, but what made it special was the staff and service, Iv never been to such a friendly place before.! Went out of their way many time throughout the evening to make sure we had a great night.! Can’t wait to go back!

Really warm welcome from everyone. Excellent service and really good food. We are here as we are staying in a local hotel for business. This was the best meal, atmosphere and service of the week. The staff really put themselves out in order to get us back to the hotel safely when we couldn't get a taxi. Amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you to all the staff ,who made our evening feel special. Great food and the staff who gave us such a pleasant experience. Gordon & Julie

What an amazing Restaurant! Fantastic service, amazing staff, not been to such an amazing place in years! All my friends who came want to come again *****

This restaurant is special. Excellent food and service. Staff brilliant and great atmosphere. Probably the best authentic Indian food for many miles but no need to look anywhere else

Had a amazing experience here. The staff were so friendly and incredible nice. The food was authentic and delicious. Amazing quality and great prices.

Worst tasting Indian food I've ever had the reviews must be fake typical of "Indian" restaurants Service and atmosphere was fantastic

A regular visitor to this restaurant. Food and service always top notch. Celebrating a special birthday and staff couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you

Family meal on a Tuesday evening, reasonably early in the evening but the restaurant was really busy (a good sign). This and really friendly service from all of the staff we engaged with (much more than other Indian restaurants I've been to) made for a really good atmosphere. On top of this, service was snappy, something I loved but others might feel like they were being rushed (nobody in my group felt like they were). Food was great, I'm not a gourmet by any means but it was exactly what you'd expect/want. But if a gem really and we'll definitely be back.

I went to Monsoon on Wednesday 10th April and the least I can say was that I was very impressed with the quality of food and also the quality of service.

Eating at Indian restaurants out of London can be hit and Miss but this place was absolutely fantastic. Amazing customer service and fabulous food. Great atmosphere in the restaurant too. I would definitely return if I was in the area again!

This restaurant was the best I have ever been in Aberdeen and our and our hosts gatika was fabulous and outstanding host I've ever had encountered She welcomed us she managed to cope with her excitement of being in Aberdeen. She was amazing overall I can't even imagine how patients and how corporating she was with us. And obviously it was amazing the best food in Indian restaurant I have ever had. Can't talk much but gatika was the best this is the only best review I can give about any of the Host I've ever ever been served with.

Dishes have wayyyyy too much sauce and the tiniest portions of meat, they taste fine but it's less than ideal.

A group of us ate here earlier. The quality of the food and the atmosphere were high up there. There were a couple of minor issues with the serving of the food and drinks but were quickly resolved. Would definitely return back.

Great atmosphere, lovely and very funny staff. Helpful with menu choices and always smiling. Recommend the Tandori or Garlic King Prawn

Great service and amazing quality. I usually get plain rice and chicken tikka main with naan bread and poppadoms .

This is hands down the best time I have ever had in an Indian. The staff are the friendliest people I have ever been served by. The food is great and flavourful, I couldn't have asked for any better. Me and my partner were staying in a nearby hotel, and we stayed here late drinking, and our waiter had insisted he take us back to the hotel as the taxis take forever. Overall just absolutely lovely people, we will definitely be coming back again!

My experience at moonsoon was phenomenal! The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance was delightful. I can't wait to go back!"

We picked this restaurant because of glowing reviews. Unfortunately for us it was a VERY poor experience. Chicken dish very dry. Lamb dish extremely spicy when listed as mild. Saag paneer cold. The staff were EXTREMELY intense! Hanging around the table constantly, taking dishes and drinks away when not finished with, cracking jokes that were just inappropriate. Just made us feel very uncomfortable. We just wanted to get out of there as soon as we could - and we did!

Good job. Tasty very satisfying will be back. Very nice to see people with pride in their work.

Absolutely the best Indian restaurant in the area. Lovely atmosphere, great friendly and efficient staff and delicious food. We had another lovely meal there last night. Our favourite!

Been here several times! Place is buzzing! Top quality food great service top wine! (Gimenez mendez a red Malbec from Uruguay) Definitely coming back soon!!!!!

Wonderful meal and wonderful service for my husband’s birthday …. Food was so nice and our waiter was brilliant and very friendly

Wonderful staff, delicious food and all round great dining experience, highly recommend! We have visited here for evening meal twice now and can’t fault anything, food tasted amazing and came out in good time, the staff were friendly, funny and kid friendly. The restaurant has a great atmosphere- 10/10!

We had a great meal from here for New Years Eve. We pre ordered for 7 of us and then asked for it to be prepared earlier for pick up...nothing was too much trouble and they changed our time with no issues in spite of beingreally busy. Food was great and really good quality (plenty for all of us and more). They are really friendly (Abu took the order) and very helpful. Have eaten in the restaurant too....same quality food and service. Thank you and Happy 2024

Food delicious, service spot on, a very relaxing atmosphere .if you are looking for good food this is the place to come, Highley recommend this restaurant

The peshwari chicken wad made nice creamy coconuty perfect amount of sweetness I found this restaurant amazing compared to the others I have been too Thank you monsoon

Very difficult to fault the welcome, the service, the menu breadth or the food quality. The excellent maitre d was first class, constantly checking that the food was ok. He also went above and beyond by offering small tweaks to the menu options. The service was very good, and the food quality (taste, portion control and temperature) exceeded expectations. This really is a great restaurant and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

If I could give this restaurant six stars, both for the food and the service, I would. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the food was delicious! As I've said in other reviews I eat in a lot of Indian and Bangladeshi restaurants and when it comes to curry I regard myself as a bit of an aficionado. I had a Prawn Puree and the Tandoori Lamb Chops which were fantastic. All the side dishes, especially the Tarka Dhal, were incredible. Special mention has to go to our waiter Abu who gave us tons of advice and got the chef to knock up a couple of special dishes not on the menu - and as if that wasn't enough - when there were no taxi's available he gave us a lift to our hotel! Talk about going the extra mile. Awesome!

Managed to get what looked like the last table on a very busy Friday night and so pleased we did. Great atmosphere, fab music, friendly service and best of all is the food. Probably the best Indian I have been to. Although all the traditional dishes are on the menu there are some very interesting chefs special. My salmon platter was delicious and something I've never tasted before. Wish we lived closer. Worth moving to Hook for 😁

Had two take aways now and both have been amazing. I've found my new local curry house. New to the area. It's odd how much a good curry house matters to me. Can't wait to walk my way slowly through the menu to find my favourite.

Absolutely delightful experience at this Indian restaurant! The service was beyond exceptional, with staff that went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. Even for someone not typically fond of Indian cuisine, the food here was really delicious – incredibly flavorful and beautifully presented. The staff's enthusiasm was infectious, offering various plates to try on the house and even surprising us with complimentary shots. A top-notch dining spot that exceeded all expectations. Best Indian restaurant in the area, Infact, best restaurant in the area!

Visiting from out of town, wonderful experience, food was excellent, staff excellent, when visiting the area again this will be our first stop, highly recommend.

My wife and I had our best currys for a long time. I had a king prawn balti with a side vegetable curry and naan bread and it was delicious. My wife had a king prawn biriyany which was also delicious. We will definitely return.

Absolutely fantastic food, wine recommendations and evening! We will be back!!

First visit, suggested by our hosts. Bustling but tables not too packed in. Staff were attentive and up for a bit of banter. Great food - I'm not good with very spicy but our waiter asked me what I liked in general and said, "leave it to me". He nailed it! Will be going back, I expect.

Genuinely the best Indian takeaway I've ever had, nothings come close in years! The staff are also so friendly when I go in to collect. Will have to eat in soon!

Very busy restaurant but staff kindly fitted us in as we hadn’t booked. Good was amazing, so tasty and staff were friendly and welcoming, food came out quickly. Was lovely to see the restaurant buzzing with people. Highly recommend if in the area !

Lovely place, very friendly and accommodating staff. Decor and lighting sets the tone. Food was very good, served quickly and tasty. One gentleman ordered a hot sizzling dish that had the whole restaurant coughing which was a great icebreaker and bonding experience for the night! Can't fault the place. Will eat there again.

Outstanding local Indian with great food, good service and reasonable prices. Definitely my 'Go-To' for the area and with a portrait of The Late Queen Elizabeth II on the wall too. A lovely place to go.

Excellent local Indian resturant with friendly service and good quality food. Busy for a Thursday evening which created a lively atmospheric.

The best Indian food I have had in and around the Fleet area. We could not fault the food and enjoyed the Lamb Bhuma and the Chicken Lawjab as mains. We collected the order and it was within the time stated online. I would highly recommend Monsoon and I will definitely be going back!

Have had many meals from Monsoon, both eat in and takeaway. The staff are always really friendly and attentive. The food is amazing, never had a bad meal from here. Would definitely recommend.

Heerlijk eten, goede informatie over het eten en wat je kunt verwachten. Helemaal goed!!

Food is so good. . 🌾 they are so good. .🌾

A real experience, the restaurant team were a blast, funny, engaging plus great food. Packed out for a Thursday night.

What a suprise on our doorstep, great food, friendly and excellent service, from all staff And the food was awesome 👌

Pooped in on the off chance as it was a Sunday. Staff really friendly and attentive, food was spot on. The main host was welcoming, funny, and e toyed the banter. Looked after us amazingly. A real pleasure to eat here. Thank you

Went as part of a charity quiz night. What a find ! Definitely returning. The staff were funny, friendly and lively. The food was utterly delicious and you couldn't fault anything. A big win win

Absolutely first class experience, as always, from the fun and friendly service to the excellent food.

Went for dinner with my hubby, my son & daughter in law the food was delicious and the service was exceptional really first class we traveled up from Hertfordshire and have been to a few different places that my son has taken us too for food but this restaurant definitely takes top spot and we will definitely be returning

Amazing food - really amazing food Staff go out of their way to make every customer feel really welcome They will help with your order if you need, and they don’t like rushing you Brilliant place

Incredible service, everyone was so lovely! The food was amazing too! Definitely recommend you go!

Really beautiful food. Fabulous service, really friendly staff. I can thoroughly recommend the Chicken with Pistachio, the Lamb Rogan , the King prawn Madras . Absolutely one of the best meals i have had out in a very long time

What a night we had last night. Food was outstanding cannot praise it enough. The service was exemplary and front of house was a charmer and so funny. Well done to all of your team. You now have a new regular customer in the making. And an unpaid ambassador to sing your praise.

Amazing food, good service. I'll be returning for sure.

We came here for an evening meal while staying locally. The welcome was very friendly with a little banter too! Service was also friendly and efficient, the food was nicely presented and very fresh and tasty, just what we wanted . Happy to recommend this nice restaurant .

Great place with a very welcoming owner and an amazing staff! Go there not just for the delicious food, but also for their great hospitality and friendly vibes.

Very noisy customers and music. Rushed, amateur and impolite service.

A colleague and I were in the area on business and fancied a change from the hotel food. We asked around and this place was recommended several times so we had to give it a try. We were so impressed as we left we booked a table for the following week!!!

Absolutely excellent service and superb food!! We have travelled separately for a business trip and we were recommended to this restaurant and it did not disappoint!

Not as good as it was but still very tasty

Really nice restaurant serving delicious curries etc. Food was great and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Had Dinner here Thursday evening , as per usual the food was delicious,service was excellent,Great atmosphere,Abo and Sanjay and the rest of the team are always helpful and welcoming,would highly recommend this Restaurant 👍

Friendly staff, great choice with nice food

Excellent service, excellent food, one of the best Indian restaurants I have eaten in

Fantastic food, fantastic service, really well priced. I'd thoroughly recommend this to anyone in the area looking for a place to eat.

Lovely curry. Staff really friendly. Will definitely be back.

Food was grea, pickup and order time was quick. Would recommend
