Monsoon Indian Cuisine - Eastleigh

My previous review from March 2021 still holds true... we decided to give this restaurant another chance because it is so close by, but we ended up wasting £27. The only positive aspect of this experience was the convenient online ordering system. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing once again. The mango chutney and mint sauce were watery, the salad consisted mainly of onions, the Korma was bland and colorless, the meat in the Madras was tough and chewy, the pilau rice was overly yellow and tasted only of turmeric, and the Naan was dry and thin. It seems that this restaurant will never return to its former quality, and we won't be making the mistake of dining here again.

Ordered a take away because a friend recommended it but that was the biggest mistake. I had the chicken korma to share with my friend and when we opened it there was only what I could describe as tasteless dishwater in there. It's as if they had forgotten how to cook. I can safely say that that was the worst curry I have ever had and the first and last time I would be visiting monsoon. I wanted to return the curry but my friend felt embarrassed and didn't want to make a fuss so we just put it in the bin. On the plus side, the rice and poppadoms were were nice enough. Not sure of this was a one off but unfortunately I won't be finding out. Disappointed doesn't even come close I'm afraid

Food was lovely but service was horrendous! We had 2 young children with us and both of them had their iPads whiles waiting for food to come to our table the man servicing us told both of our kids to put their iPads away or he would not give them their food he was very rude.

Takeaway The food from here has been great so far. non of this dry meat busy you get elsewhere. Service has been alright too which contradicts the recent negatives comments on here. Tried the Chicken Dansak, Tikka masala Garlic chilli chicken. Ordered a couple of times and will definitely be ordering from here again. Had problems with the amount of time it took for our first delivery to arrive however when ordering via third party (Deliveroo) i've noticed this can happen during peak times. Only down side is there is no delivery tracking available. However, since then the deliveries have been spot on and friendly. Would recommend.

Physically assaulted by rude staff had to call 999. The staff were extremely aggressive and never felt so scared before. Please do not ever go here
