The Monsoon

The Monsoon is a long-established and much-loved Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant spread across four floors in the heart of Brick Lane, Spitalfields. A TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice award winner, it has built a loyal following over many years for its fragrant, freshly prepared South Asian cuisine and convivial atmosphere.

The menu celebrates the best of traditional Bangladeshi and North Indian cooking, with the Monsoon Special Biryani — aromatic, spiced and packed with tender chicken — among the standout dishes. Alongside biryanis, the kitchen produces excellent tandoori chicken masala, karahi and bhuna dishes, kormas, vindaloos and a full selection of vegetarian options. The restaurant operates a BYOB policy with no corkage charge. Private rooms on the upper floors can accommodate groups of up to 130 guests. Open daily noon until 1am, making it one of Brick Lane's best options for a late-night curry. Dine in, takeaway and delivery all available.
