The Monsoon is our family's favorite place to dine every year when visiting the Palm Springs area. The man Happy and his family are so friendly and quick with follow up on anything we need. The food speaks for itself: D-lish.

I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH! I usually get delivery and I’ve been to the restaurant a few times! I enjoy the atmosphere and it reminds me of the old school Indian restaurants in NYC. The food is stunning and I have loved everything I’ve had here! The Paneer Makhani is out of this world and so if the chicken Tikka Masala, Korma and butter chicken were sooooooo tasty! And also that soup that I can never spell right… ALL DELICIOUS! The people that work there are very friendly!...

Only ate here once, came for the lunch buffet while visiting.

Service was great and everything on the buffet was good. They had some good veggie options and some spicy stuff as well.

My only complaint about the buffet was the naan. It was more like pita bread, thick and doughy, which I didn’t care for. Most the regulars were having the buffet and ordering naan on the side, so maybe it’s better that that way, thinner and crisper when it’s...
