Good atmosphere and friendly welcoming Nice decor and soft music Menu was interesting since it has Indian and Chinese options essentially indo Chinese variety. Soup was okay but it wasn’t like chicken corn soup. Noodle was very nice , exciting and tasty. Manchurian chicken was also delicious Fried rice too had variations flavors which was great. Ordered extra noodles Manchurian to go. Recommend to visit this place.

We dined here last night and our experience was amazing. We started with their manchow soup which had authentic Indian-Chinese heat and flavors. loved it. We then ordered their paneer tandoori momos, they were crisp, well cooked in their tandoori masala marinade. Portion is enough for 3 people. Their green chutney is delicious and goes well with the momos. We decided to go for fried rice with Manchurian, which was alright. I have definitely had better, but their Manchurian were soft and tasted good. Skip the fried rice, but definitely try their Manchurian dry. We ended our dinner with veg kheema biryani, which was the ultimate winner. Perfectly spiced, soya nuggets cooked to perfection, not too oily, and the portion size is huge. We had biryani leftovers that tasted even better the next day at home. If you like vegetarian kheema or skip meat for a change do give it a try. Overall everything was good, i would definitely go again. It’s just their menus that felt sticky and some pages even had soy sauce on it

Must try gully chicken and vijaywada boneless biryani with authentic flavors and perfectly spiced. The taste transported us straight to the heart of South Indian cuisine. If you’re looking for flavorful, well-cooked dishes, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

We decided to try this place out because of reviews and we really enjoyed it. The place is a bit small but does have plenty of seating, even for a big group. The server took our order quickly and the food came out back to back and somewhat fast. The food was DELICIOUS, it had so much flavor and it was enough for all of us! Definitely will be back to try different plates.

I recently tried the Veg Gravy Manchurian, Garlic Burnt Fried Rice, and Masala Noodles at The Monk’s Indo-Chinese. All the vegetarian dishes were absolutely delicious — the flavors were rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced. Each dish had its own unique taste, and everything was freshly prepared and served hot. The staff was very friendly and made the overall experience even better. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for flavorful and satisfying Indo-Chinese cuisine. I’m definitely looking forward to visiting again!

I recently dined at The Monk's, and I must say, it was an amazing experience! The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with a beautiful decor that transports you straight to China. But what really sets The Monk's apart is their food and service. I was pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of dishes on the menu. Each dish was made with fresh ingredients and the flavors were simply outstanding. What really impressed me was their willingness to go the extra mile to make sure we were completely satisfied with our meal. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and they were more than happy to create custom noodles to suit our Indian based spicy taste. The noodles turned out to be absolutely delicious, and it was clear that they had put a lot of care and attention into preparing them. The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff was attentive, but not overbearing, and they were always ready to help us with any questions or requests we had. Our dishes arrived quickly and were presented beautifully. The attention to detail in every aspect of the restaurant was evident, and it really made the dining experience that much more enjoyable. Overall, I would highly recommend The Monk's to anyone who loves Chinese cuisine or is looking for a new dining experience. The food is outstanding, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the ambiance is perfect for a cozy night out. Whether you are a Chinese food aficionado or just looking for a great meal, The Monk's is definitely worth a visit
