The India Monument is an Indian restaurant at 2 St Mary at Hill in the City of London. Close to Monument station, it serves lunch and dinner in a comfortable dining room and also offers private spaces for business meals, celebrations and group events.
Indian and Bangladeshi traditions shape a menu that ranges from familiar curries to house specialities. Tandoori cooking gives marinated chicken, lamb and seafood a smoky finish, while regional sauces use chillies, herbs, spices, tomato, cream and coconut in varied combinations.
Biryani, vegetarian curries, lentils and paneer dishes broaden the selection, with rice and freshly baked naan completing a shared meal. Set menus and thali style lunches provide a structured way to sample several flavours in one sitting.
Reservations are accepted for both lunch and dinner, and the restaurant serves throughout the week. Nuts, dairy, gluten and other allergens feature in many recipes, so guests with dietary requirements should speak with staff and confirm the current menu before ordering.
Address: 2 St Mary at Hill, London EC3R 8EE, England
