Monsoon Indian Bistro Little Rock Reviews
Monsoon Indian Bistro in Little Rock is a wonderful spot if you are craving authentic Indian flavors in a comfortable and welcoming setting. The food tastes fresh and well balanced with spices that feel true to traditional Indian cooking without being overwhelming. The menu has a great variety so whether you enjoy rich curries, or vegetarian options there is something satisfying for everyone. The portions are generous and the presentation is neat which makes the overall dining experience enjoyable. Service here is friendly and attentive. The staff is happy to guide you through the menu if you are unsure what to try, especially if you are new to Indian cuisine. The dining area is clean and nicely arranged which makes it a pleasant place for both casual dinners and small gatherings. Parking is easy since there is a dedicated lot nearby so you usually do not need to spend time searching for a space. Reservations are not always necessary during regular weekdays but it is a good idea to reserve a table on weekend evenings when the restaurant tends to get busy. One tip is to try a combination of a curry with garlic naan so you can fully enjoy the sauces. If you enjoy Indian street style flavors you should also explore their appetizer section before the main course. Overall Monsoon Indian Bistro is a reliable place in Little Rock for flavorful Indian food and a relaxed dining experience.
This place is So Cute!!!! We tried the lunch buffet on Saturday and it was So Goood. We tried a little bit of everything so that we could come back for dinner at some point. We definitely will be back. Oh and they have a fantastic tea and desert included with the buffet, Definitely recommend.
I didn’t expect to say this… but Monsoon might have just dethroned my longtime favorite Indian spot. Every dish was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The décor is beautiful too—elegant without feeling overdone—and it really elevates the whole experience. Also, the booth I sat in may or may not have tried to cave in on me… but honestly, if I had fallen in and gotten stuck, I wouldn’t have even minded—as long as they kept feeding me. That’s how good the food is. Consider me converted.
Friendly staff! Beautiful ambiance on the inside! These are BUFFET photos! I made this heap of food lol. Now I’m sure they would present this food separately. Exploding with flavor! Meat options and plant based options! Just try it! Not “spicy”, you will be ok! Haha Clean!
I love the bar and food!! Soniya is my favorite!! She’s so personable! Give her a raise!!! <3
What a gem! Wonderful service in a lovely atmosphere. I had a delicious goat Rogan josh with the lemon rice - perfectly spiced! My husband enjoyed their biryani and we both loved the garlic naan. We picked medium spice for the heat level and it was fantastic. Will definitely return!
The food was incredible and full of flavor. Very clean and elegant restaurant with a beautiful and relaxed atmosphere. Our server was very attentive, friendly, and kind towards me and my wife. She went out of her way to take care of us and honestly was the best service we have received from anywhere. We look forward to going back and trying more dishes.
I had an excellent dining experience at Monsoon Indian Bistro. The food was outstanding and full of authentic flavors. We enjoyed pav bhaji and pani puri, which were fresh and perfectly balanced. The mixed grill was well cooked and flavorful, and Chicken 65 was crispy, spicy, and delicious. For drinks, the mango lassi was rich and refreshing. We ended the meal with falooda for dessert, which was the perfect sweet finish. A special mention to Sonya, who provided exceptional service. She was attentive, polite, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. Highly recommend Monsoon Indian Bistro for great food and excellent service. We will definitely be back.
First time here and really enjoyed! The samosa chaat and lamb vindaloo were excellent. The chicken 65 was SO delicious and spicy! My friend ordered the chicken hakka noodles and am jealous I can have them as leftovers! Had a very spicy jalapeno margarita mocktail!
Best cooks and service in all of Arkansas and the Midwest in general! Mehul and Sonia especially made our experience exceptional! Very kind, patient, and loving people! Food was to die for too! Would recommend to any and everyone. :)
I've been twice now and it's been excellent both times. Plus their hours are incredible. I feel like I live in a real city!! In addition to the food, the cocktails were good and they had a few different Indian beers to choose from in addition to the usual stuff. They also hosted a local music and dance event in their space. A rave in an Indian restaurant? 10/10 unique experience. I literally feel like this is gonna be a peak of my life. Or at least a Cool Story for me forevermore.
Fantastic place! I had the lunch buffet and it was delicious! The restaurant is extremely clean and I love the whole vibe inside. They play great music and the customer service is just impeccable. The people working here are so kind and truly desire you to have a good meal. Definitely recommend!
First thing you notice is service is standing by for their guests. It’s bright and clean. The decorum inside is neat and takes you out of the world just outside the door. Food is Grade A. Enjoyed my onion fritters and butter lamb with medium spice to the utmost. I’ll be back without debate. Thank you Monsoon.
Moving makes leaving things you love behind hard, but coming to Monsoon Indian Bistro reminded me that there are new memories to make, new foods to try, and new people to meet ahead. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food is incredible, but the real highlight of my visit was Sonya. Her kindness and cheerful energy made my first experience unforgettable. If you go, you must try the Samosa Chaat (trust me on this one!). And do yourself a favor: step out of your comfort zone and let Sonya recommend a dish… she won’t steer you wrong. Monsoon isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a reminder that change can taste pretty amazing. Highly recommend!
This is the best Indian restaurant I have ever been too. The atmosphere is peaceful with ambient music playing in the background. The interior design is very thought-out. Service is wonderful, you feel like you're eating at home or with friends. As for the food, it's always fresh. Tip: On Sundays go for the lunch buffet.
Absolutely Incredible! A Must-Try Spot for Indian Food Lovers! I had the pleasure of dining at Moonsan Indian Bistro, and I can't stop raving about the Goat Biryani, it's hands down the best! Perfectly cooked rice, tender goat meat, and an explosion of authentic spices in every bite. The flavor was rich and deeply satisfying without being overpowering. The staff was super nice and friendly Highly recommended 🙂
I visited this spot twice to get a more rounded opinion. For the 1st visit I had butter chicken and butter naan. Everything was pretty good but they were a bit skimpy on the meat. Then I went back again for their Sunday buffet. There's not many dishes on offer so I only had chicken biryani, chicken 65, lamb korma, naan and rice. The biryani was bland but the other dishes were tasty. I think for $20 they should offer a bit more variety but as long as they have a few dishes you like it's better than ordering a la carte.
