During our visits here, we've hardly had any issues with meals we ordered. Shall we get into the details? Foot traffic was minimal when we arrived and were seated immediately. We were served water and their homemade chai tea. The vibe was welcoming with soft music playing in the background. After a few minutes, we were ready to order. I selected their chicken schezwan hakka noodle dish along with garlic naan bread to share with Sophia. The noodle dish was very good. I chose the mild spice and it was just right. There was so much served it took me three meals to finish the whole plate. Unfortunately, the garlic naan was underwhelming. When we received the order, it was hard to chew and the garlic taste wasn't strong. Usually, naan is soft when served, but not this time. Despite the naan disappointment, both of us walked away full. A dish like this I could order again the next time we stop by. Till next time :)

YUM! Everything was great from service to food to the restaurant decor!…read more We arrived for an early dinner and were seated promptly. Our waiter grabbed us each a bottle of water, and we also received a complementary cup of mint tea. Very good! Food wise we ordered the onion paroka, samosa, garlic naan, and butter chicken. All the food was fresh and plentiful. I loved the onion paroka and the batter was nice and light. The garlic naan was some of the best I have had, and the butter chicken had a great flavor! Service was excellent and the restaurant is not overly large, but it has sone nice decor inside. Can't wait to go back for amazing Indian food!

Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. I had the mulligatawny soup, samosa chaat and shrimp korma. My eyes were bigger than my stomach and I ended up boxing a good amount of food up for later. The portions were big and the food was very tasty. The samosa chaat was my favorite. I also got a mango lassi to help cool the burn (no burn because I got it mild). I would recommend this place to anyone who likes authentic Indian food. It's tucked away in a shopping plaza with a Sam's Club & Wallyworld near by. It's cute and cozy and the service is friendly. What are you waiting for?! GO!

A Sensory Delight at Monsoon Eclectic Modern Indian Restaurant…read more My close girlfriend and I finally made it to Monsoon Eclectic Modern Indian Restaurant for lunch on June 29, 2025--a visit we had been planning for about a month. We were looking for something quiet, tasteful, peaceful, and of course, delicious. This place did not disappoint. Although the restaurant is currently undergoing renovations (you have to enter through a side door instead of the front), the moment we stepped inside, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. The service was outstanding from the beginning: water was poured, menus were handed out, and we were given time to settle in and decide. We started with the variety of chutneys appetizer, which came with five or six types of chutney paired with garlic naan. There was a mango chutney, a lemony citrus one, a green chutney, a deep red pickled chutney (which was my favorite), and a dark tamarind-like chutney, along with a cool cucumber yogurt sauce. The chutneys were flavorful and the naan was perfectly warm and chewy. My girlfriend ordered from the lunch menu, choosing the lamb tikka masala, which came with basmati rice, garlic naan, and her choice of soup or salad--she chose the soup. She also enjoyed a glass of wine. She rated her meal 10 out of 10, saying the lamb was tender, juicy, and absolutely delicious. I usually order butter chicken (my all-time favorite), but this time I stepped out of my comfort zone and went with a seafood stir fry dish--and I'm so glad I did. It featured salmon, crab meat, jumbo shrimp, and moist scallops, all seasoned with nuts, spices, and served over basmati rice. The colors were vibrant, the aroma was heavenly, and the taste was next level. Every bite had my taste buds doing backflips. I had plenty of leftovers--enough for two or three more meals. The waiter who recommended the dish was extremely helpful and encouraging--I'm thankful for that push! All of the staff were kind, polite, knowledgeable, and attentive. Even though they're renovating, you can already see that the decor is top tier. The flooring alone was mesmerizing before the remodel, so I can only imagine how stunning it'll be when it's complete. It's a great spot for any occasion--a quiet lunch, a dinner date, a birthday party, or even a business meeting. I've been to many Indian restaurants in the Hampton Roads area and beyond, and this one is easily among the best. Monsoon truly lives up to its name--eclectic, modern, and unforgettable. If you're a fan of Indian cuisine or just looking to try something new, do yourself a favor and come here. You won't be disappointed. If I could rate it higher than a 10, I would. This place gets a 100 from me.

Warm…read moregreeting at the door, comfortable seating, eye-poppingly bright décor against a dark background (also known as a 'wall,' or wallpaper, ha ha!) so it really stands out even more. The service was great, the food was delicious, the experience exalting. End result: relaxed, refreshed, ready to move on having been greatly nourished .... It was also fun to try some new things I had never had or seen before! That's always an added bonus when it happens -- and here, it did! I'd never seen 'Masala Papad' before, so of course I had to get it! It did not disappoint! I'd imagined the papadam being as they usually are -- flat -- and then in this dish that it would have some toppings on it, looking like a flat taco or a small pizza, but oh was I gladly wrong! Wow! Only thing is, I might be ruining this for someone else by taking away the joyous surprise! However, I understand that most people don't like a surprise as much as I do, so I guess it's okay to give it away. Anyway, these were super-flavourful and fun. I got the 'three' spice level. That's a wonderful aspect of dining here -- you get to choose your spice level, dish by dish. For the hot and sour soup, I got a 'two' spice level -- however I found it to be spicier than the two of the Masala Papad, and I'm guessing that's because, well, it's soup and so there is more of it closer together, rather than the air between pieces of various foods in the Masala Papad, and also the thermal heat of the soup probably elevates the feeling of spiciness. Another dish I had never tried was the Chilly Tofu. It was absolutely, spectacularly delicious not only in taste but the wonderful texture. In fact, I was so amazed by how good the texture was that in describing my delight, the waiter wondered if I had ever tried tofu before. I'd had tofu many, many times in my life in a large number of settings and so many different variations -- such as soft, pan-fried, deep-fried, in soup, skewered on a stick, served with all kinds of things -- but this particular tofu was just extra super-duper scrumdiddlyumptious! The three appetizers I ate filled me up enough that I didn't need anything else -- well, except chai, that is! -- so I didn't order an entrée, and will have to leave that for next time .... Might I add, it is an oasis from the heat and anything else going on outside ... and the dishes and drinks served here will also give your body more heat-fighting ability because that is the nature of Indian food! It's healthy! Not just nutritious but literally body-building -- including giving your immune system just what it needs .... Definitely, absolutely, certainly most highly recommended!

I live on the south side and had an hour-and-a-half ghost tour plus an hour drive home. The staff kindly accommodated my odd request for a bag of ice so I could safely transport the food. My friend had the crab masala -- wow! It truly lived up to the "lump crab" name. No crabmeat was spared: a jubilee of crabmeat simmering in a creamy masala. I couldn't stop saying how delicious it was. The gobi manchurian was a winner as well. My karamurji was good but very spicy for me; the basmati rice helped cool it down. In hindsight I probably should have ordered some raita. They gave us rose ice cream to share on the house, which was very kind -- light and creamy. Excellent, attentive service. I would definitely return when I'm in town!

My first thought was that one comes to Williamsburg expecting like a vegetable pastie or…read moregingerbread or something, not Indian food. To be fair though, India and Williamsburg were both British colonies. Having said that, this particular Indian restaurant has a Goan-influenced menu, which is actually the historically Portuguese part of India. There is a lot worth trying. It was a pleasant setting with indoor and outdoor tables; given the rain and wind I sat inside even though the outdoor tables were covered. Spoiled for choice, I got a fairly straightforward lentil soup to start before ordering a more adventurous dish of tofu and mushrooms in an onion-heavy curry. They offered the option to order okra as a side dish, which I don't usually see but jumped at the chance to do. An aloo paratha on the side was quite filling and good for mopping up the curry. Salt was a bit excessive, particularly with the bread I think. The actual amount of tofu in my curry could have been more, but the flavors were abundant. My chai arrived unsweetened and with options to sweeten it myself, which I deferred on. A lot of people got takeout, but for a place to eat in and get a high quality and regionally distinctive meal, this place fit the bill.
