We had the shahi paneer, garlic tikka masala, and garlic naan - any of which we'd order again. The paneer was good, the naan was top notch, and the garlic tikka masala was a great twist on chicken tikka masala with extra flavor. None of the dishes were spicy, but of course we didn't ask for them to be (but will next time). Only drawback was that the main dishes were a bit pricey (€16-17.50), but that seems standard in Helsinki.

Ravintola Monal really served up what we were looking for! I had a mixed meat thali and loved the variety of the sauces, the raita and amazing nan. My husband wanted spice, and wow, did he get it in his chicken kolapuri. The service was super friendly and welcoming. I just wish we had a bit more atmosphere, but it was a cold Thursday night in Helsinki and there wasn't much of a crowd. But the beer was good and I got a sweet treat for dessert--a little donut drenched in syrup. Yum!

What If there was the most incredible Indian restaurant on the planet, in the most unpredictable location on the planet (Southern Finland), with the most misleading name (Tony's), with the most incredible food that can match the best 5-star+ offering in New York, London, L.A., Paris and most importantly the undiscovered household names of India itself, at the most reasonable price - and you found out about it by reading this review? Answer: you head over to Tony's, a restaurant with the most misleading brand on the planet that deserves three times the price and five times the smiles. Tip: the owner's real name is not Tony, he is Ashwani. He is an Alchemist. Bow in front of him.

I was curious about this place: The name "Tony's" is somewhat misleading for an Indian restaurant…read more However, after reading a few reviews I decided it was time to see (and eat) for myself! Upon arriving me and my boyfriend received a friendly greeting. The place is modest but it has a nice atmosphere that makes you feel welcome. We placed our order of two samosas, vegetable kofta and lamb curry. The food arrived promptly and was packaged well. Our meals were tasty and generous. The nan bread could have been a tad softer but this is my personal preference. My boyfriend also pointed out his lamb curry had some slightly overcooked pieces, but most were great. Good value!

We chose not to dine in and do a take out instead. We ordered rice, dal tadka and vegetable curry to keep things simple. Waited in the restaurant while the order was prepared. They have a full fledged bar and a TV screen. Seemed like a nice restaurant to spend the evening enjoying good food & drinks. The ambience of the restaurant was great and it was not a busy evening. The order was ready in under 15 minutes. The food was well packed and they added papads and raitha to the order. The food tasted authentic. Pricing was moderate and the location is right opposite to the tram station. Will definitely try Maharaja again when I visit Helsinki.

Variety of veggie dishes - chickpea curry, paneer with peas, daal (lentils), chicken curry, naan bread, rice, and yogurt. The yogurt was slightly tart and super thick (greek yogurt x 3) - liked the tasted but not the consistency. Enjoyed the chicken curry but wish it was boneless. Paneer and daal were favorite dishes - which is a big deal for a carnivore! Did not care for the piece of rollcake served for dessert - tasted like out of convenience store bag. Service: 3 stars. Our group had a special buffet meal setup. Food was replenished in the beginning but not towards the end. No extra plates provided for refills - people had to reuse their original plate which is hygienically a bit off-putting. Our pitchers of water were refilled on initial request and then automatically thereafter. Bottom Line: Food was good but service needs some work. Would revisit for takeout or non-buffet meal.

Oli niin surkuhupaisaa, että tuli jo mieleen, että ollaanko piilokameraohjelmassa. Mieli ei pahoittunut- näitäkin kokemuksia pitää olla. Onneksi Skörd oli nappivalinta.

The Original Cowboy Peyton Place! This is a Texas Tornadoes…read morethemed bar located right in the middle of the Kamppi Design District in Helsinki. The bar owner is a total fan of the Texas Tornadoes and anything Texan. He's a Finn, but has traveled to the Lone Star State several times to take in the beauty, and is bringing a little Texas to Finland! I felt like this bar would be right at home in the Texas Hill Country. Around the bar, you'll find posters depicting the likes of Doug Sahm, Dale Watson, and Willie Nelson. There are Lone Star flags up over the register! God Bless Texas! The owner is a bigger Texas Tornadoes fan than I am, and I love their stuff- I thought I knew all their songs, but they've worked some Texas Tornado references into the bar that even I had to stop and think on. On Monday nights, they hold a jam session (no cover!), where local musicians get together and jam on a country/rockabilly rhythm, and crank out the jams. The best was hearing Johnny Cash sung with a Finnish accent! They have an extensive beer and liquor list, and the staff is friendly. The place feels safe, and clean. There are plenty of places to sit, along with some slot machines. They offer the national beer of Finland on draft, Karhu, but most of their best beers are micro-brews from a bit further north in Finland- amazing IPAs. The prices are quite reasonable, and it's warm inside. I had an absolute blast hanging out here, and reminiscing of Texas with the owner- he brought out his guitar and jammed out some acoustic Texas Tornado music. I'll certainly be back next time I'm in Helsinki!
