The Monsoon is an Indian restaurant and takeaway at 78 Brick Lane in Spitalfields. Its richly decorated dining room places it within one of East London’s best known food streets, while daily opening from midday until late makes it suitable for lunch, dinner and meals after an evening nearby.
Starters introduce the clay oven and grill through seekh kebab, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka and king prawns, alongside samosas, onion bhaji and vegetable choices. Chutneys, herbs and carefully layered spices bring contrast to these dishes before the table moves into the broader curry selection.
Traditional curries include bhuna, vindaloo, korma and chicken tikka masala, with chicken, lamb, seafood and vegetables available across different sauces and levels of heat. The house biryani combines aromatic rice and spiced meat, while dal, vegetable sides, naan and rice help groups assemble a balanced shared meal.
Set meals provide a straightforward way to sample several dishes, and reservations are available for guests planning a longer visit. Collection and home delivery complement the dining room, giving The Monsoon a flexible role for Brick Lane visitors, local residents and diners across the surrounding East London neighbourhoods.
