Its an amazing place. Calm and cosy. Open kitchen. Some of the best quality food. 1 star reduced since they changed their menu and I couldnt find what I came for. The chorizo...

It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing wines, food and service. Mr. Vishwas (owner) and staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations.Awesome food.

I recently visited this place with my friends, they have pretty environment and comfortable seating.Staff was very polite and service is also good.Quality & Quantity of food both were good.I personally loved their palak patta chaat you should definitely try this.Highly recommended ✔️✔️

Visited this place recently and totally loved the experience.The outlet is situated in worldmark 1, Aerocity, and the ambience was very calm & peaceful.We tried a variety of dishes here, and totally loved them all. The service was quick and every thing was prepared fresh.Some of the dishes i would totally recommend : Fried chicken, palak patta chaat, cold coffee, chicken tikka masala, makhani broccoli. Totally enjoyed this unique yet amazing experience.Would surely recommend this outlet, and would shortly visit again.

This is such a peaceful place which serves delicious modern Indian cuisine. Their Palak Patta Chaat was the show stopper. Loved the Podi Idli, Brocolli Makhni, Dal, Cold Coffee as well. Worth a visit for sure!

The menu was unique not the regular stuff , ambience was welcoming , Sunday’s are pretty , very much, crowded . Options are less for vegetarians. Experience was alright !

The non vegetarian food served at this place is not upto the mark, in the spectrum of sea food the prawns served were not of fresh quality.Chicken tikka masala also tasted disastrous and seems like a dish from Parallel universe.

Lovely place with a beautiful ambience.Absolutely adore the amazing food they have been serving.I loved the chicken tikka masala.Drinks and cold coffee was awesome and tasted really good.

I have had Lemon Ginger Chicken.. Simply Amazing

Our server Uma recommended the Aachaar Korma and it was sublime. The flavour was very well balanced. The other dishes were also wonderful. Service was great.

If you are tired of the typical Indian fare served at most restaurants then this is definitely the place to go. A most interesting menu with a variety of common vegetables and flours innovatively prepared.

What an amazing service from Mr Umakant Mr Deepak Mr Arjun and Mr Bhupinder Singh!!Hats off .. we visited with 2 little cranky kids.. the team at monsoon cartred to all our speacial needs and made sure we all experienced nothing short of exemplary service!! BTW food was amazing too.. superb experience!

A lovely experience, and an ambience true to name. The wooden interior and carefully crafted menu make it a comfortable Monsoon evening. And ofcourse..... Food and service made my experience totally worth it.

Limited menu, test less, Food quality is not up to the mark against the charges

A fine dine version of the original lota cafe.I just love their menu. Everything so simple yet makes it excited with a twist.Food.. 5/5Great food quality, portion size is lil less. Yet the taste makes up fir it.Ambiance.. 5/5Well lit, spacious, space allocation is good and the live kitchen looks cool.Service.. 5/5Quality service, well mannered attendents, quick service, etc.Pricing.. 4/5Its a subjective matter, but I personally think. The pricing is fair for the offering.Value for money.. 5/5Absolutely worth a visit.Recommended

If you are a fan of Indian food be it starters or main course but with a slight twist of fusion, this is the place for you. Must try tamarind fish with rice appam. The fish was simply melting in the mouth and the coconut curry complemented the overall flavour and palette. Portion is decent and wont have you overeating and feeling exhausted later. Their mulled wine is definitely worth it. Try keema gujia if you like nonveg starters which are not too oily.

Awesome PALAK CHAT . A MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE . NEVER HAVE TASTED THIS TYPE OF CHAT EVER

Monsoon is run by Cafe Lota which is one of my favorite eating joints. The staff here is courteous and helpful. I tried quite a few dishes here when I visited few times with family and friends. Each dish is unique and tastes good. The Khambeeri roti, buckwheat pan cakes, mutton, chicken, fish are my favourite. I wont say any particular dish is a must try, rather any dish you order will be super good. Kheer with caramel is a must try though 😀

Went here on my birthday and it was an all new experience. Loved its ambience. Food was good too but less in quantity. Trying their curated meal for one which has one starter,one main course Nd one dessert. In starter i had scotch egg which was good but too less for the cost,just one egg. In main course i had saag paratha with channia paneer dish. It was tasty. Dessert was awesome. Chocolate torte. Overall it was nice.

In this blog post, I cover Monsoon by Cafe Lota, a contemporary Indian restaurant in Aerocity Delhi, which is inspired by the season of joy.Whats the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about the monsoon? A long spell of rain and with it a fresh breeze of air? Just like monsoon provides a welcome respite from the scorching summer heat, Monsoon by Cafe Lota tries to capture that same feeling of joy and elation through the creative use of locally sourced ingredients to produce a unique fusion of Indian flavors.Brought by the same ol team that gave us the Roots - Cafe In The Park (2010), Cafe Lota (2013), and Triveni Terrace Cafe (2015), Monsoon is a continuation of the Melting Pot Food Companys exploration of Indias abundant cuisines and indigenous ingredients.The brainchild of entrepreneurs, Rajesh Ojha, Ashish Arora, and Iona Joshua Sinha, Monsoon is not your run-of-the-mill dining option.The credit for curating an exemplary Modern Indian menu by reinterpreting local ingredients goes to the very talented chef extraordinaire Udit Maheshwari who I had the pleasure of meeting at Monsoon.Udit is an alumnus of Le Cordon Bleu London and he specializes in French cuisine. What I found particularly interesting about Udit is that his menu is an experimental take on Indian food, prepared with precision from carefully chosen, local ingredients.From Prawn Pepper Stir Fry which uses black and green peppercorns, curry leaves, and caramelized onions to Goat Rib Broth which uses Kashmiri Haak and crispy Lotus Stem, every dish is a piece of art - unique, flavorful, aesthetically plated, and most importantly, light on the palate, bringing to the fore Udits non-conformist Indian style of cooking.Youll love the Tamarind Fish, a dish that has Tilapia fish coated in a tamarind and oyster glaze served on tempered spinach with a moilee sauce. The subtle use of tempered chana dal (gram lentil), lal mirch (red chili), coconut milk, and turmeric provides the perfect desi flavors this dish needs.Room for more? Try the Choriz Pulao. Organic quinoa cooked with Goan chorizo sausage made of pork, roasted bell peppers, and Persian Zereshk berries. Served with a sunny side up egg and spicy, gluten-free tomato ketchup.End your gastronomical journey at Monsoon on a sweet note with the Chocolate Torte. A cold-set dessert made of organic dark chocolate studded with mango leather (aam papad) and served with a raw mango coulis on a crispy pearl millet base (bajra cookie).Udits creativity with food is not just outstanding, his take on the Modern Indian cuisine checks all boxes as far as taste and aesthetics are concerned. His work inside the kitchen is equally complemented by Mixologists Magandeep Singh artistry behind the bar. Magandeep does a remarkable job of churning out one spectacular drink after the other, in the process, enhancing the level of your overall dining experience.Dont leave Monsoon before trying out the Mango and Green Chili Sangria. Made with Borsao white wine, shaken with mangoes, jaggery syrup, green chilies, and mint. Another recommendation is the Asafetida Sour, made with Asafetida, Orange, Pineapple, Popcorn, and Yuzu (Japanese citrus lemon).The dimly lit ambiance of Monsoon will be soothing to your eyes and senses. Spanning across 1200 square feet, the restaurant offers 45 covers, perfect to host your loved ones for an extremely personalized dining experience.With Monsoon, it surely feels like the age of Indian food has arrived.

Amazing food, coffee and beer. We oedered beetroot Scotch eggs, chorizo biryani, brocolli makhani, pumpkin and spinach curry with makke ki roti and pudina paranthas with white butter. Everything was brilliant. Healthy, rich ingredients that were really enjoyable. Also had prawn momos. Overall bill was 3200. The chocolate Torre was delicious for desserts. You must go there. You wont regret it.If you found this review helpful please like it

A pleasantly surprising and unique menu, each dish was exquisite and very well crafted. You could tell the passion that must have gone behind creating such an experimental yet traditional food. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Started with some Herbal Chamomile tea ♥️Loved the aura of this place.Elegant I would say the sitting the calm walls.Mr. Umakant and Mr. Prem hosted us well and gave great food suggestions.I liked the variety of wine 🍷 and beers they have.Tried Bhutanese beer 🍺 Kati Patang and loved it .And also try refreshing Elderflower Spiritizer.Also the salad was super light and yum ..and the alluring podi idli.Do not miss the Broccoli 🥦 Makhani.. I liked how they prepare it and the butter chicken style gravy.Yellow dal platter with chutney naam being my favourite too at this place.Also try the lotus stem raita 😍🤣Desserts to add kheer to the cheese cake made the evening complete ♥️.Definitely making a visit again.

I just loved this place! Beautiful interiors and great hospitality. Also the owner was kind enough to help us out with the bests from their menu.This restaurant serves contemporary indian food and interesting beverages.I tried-Yoghurt cheese croquettes- mini, quick bites served with garlic chutney. It tasted good.Monsoon fried chicken- boneless chicken thighs marinated in mint-coriander masala and served with a sweet- spicy coconut, vinegar and coriander chutney. MUST TRY! It was amazing.Beverages-Hibiscus iced teaCucumber basil daiquidi(cucumber+basil+ lemon) - a little tangy twist is what i loved the most about this one.Both these drinks are very refreshing and not that sweet so i loved both of them.Main course-Tinda matar curry- This is the BEST THING happened to tinda.This dish is basically marinated tinda stuffed with paneer and served with a gravy of black sesame/til, matar and yoghurt curry. I loved this a lot.Also it was accompanied by a laccha parantha which had white makhan over it instead of some other butter. MUST TRY!.DessertSalted caramel kheer- its their speciality. Not so sweet kheer with a layering of caramel over it and topped with almonds. AMAZING!Dark chocolate torte- its 60% dark chocolate studded with mango leather and served with raw mango coulis over a crispy millet base. I loved this as well.Taste -5/5Hospitality-5/5Ambience-5/5

Awesome food.. palak pakoda with chaat, tamarind fish and the aam panna..

Excellent food, a must try place!

Such an amazing place to visit in worldmark1 near metro Station aerocityAnd this place is seriously amazing for there taste like there ladhaki chatni or southern masala buttermilk

Serving the most delicious and beautiful food in Delhi! This should be a tourist destination already! Do not miss this.

Amazing innovative tasty dishes. Umakant had taken good care on the service front with wonderful cocktails.

Superb ambience, mouthwatering food, excellent service

Excellent food, great service and bro good wine and beer menu

Everything was right about this place.A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the fingers end.”

Great food, value for money. Umakant was brilliant.Will definitely visit again

Loved the food here. Nice fine dining restaurant with some quirky yet tasty food options.

Best place and so peaceful..

Very tasty food...each one with a twist.We ordered roasted pumpkin in spinach coconut gravy served with makki thepla.I could taste all flavours individually.Palak patta chat is my all time favourite even at their Cafe Lota.Kheer with jaggery caramelized was delicious.Best was yet to come n it was black carrot halwa..Yummy...😋😋

Unlike most of the reviews, I didnt like this place.We went there because of lack of options. Never been a fan of fusion, neo food anyways.Ordered podi idli and buckwheat pancake for starters. Idli was bland, with a very chewy consistency. So were the pancakes. No specific taste and a lot of oil, only thing which you could taste.For main course we got the monsoon paneer pasanda with palak paratha. Honestly Ive had way better paneer pasanda at most of other places.So for food Ill give them 1/5Yes hospitality on the other hand, they gave us a complimentary kahwa while we waited for our order and even a chocolate tart post dinner.Staff was very courteous and friendly.So yes hospitality will get them a straight 5+/5.Overall not a place where Ill come back for food.

Wow! Monsoon has really been like a breath of fresh air in the stagnated restaurant menus. We ordered Pumpkin & Spinach Curry (a MUST TRY here) - roasted pumpkin in coconut milk based spinach gravy, served with 4 small theplas ! This main dish we loved the most!The other dish (the yellow gravy) is Tinda Mutter Curry - also a really nice yoghurt based gravy served with Laccha Paratha!5 stars for cuisine, 5 for preparation, 5 for ambience and a 5 on hospitality! Highly recommended!

I had lunch on Saturday and was so happy that I went again with my family on Sunday for dinner. Its a small restaurant at the rear of food court in worldmark 1. Its spacious, tables have been set fairly apart. The ambience is good , thankfully its quiet. Service is par excellence. The servers are polite, well versed with the drinks and dishes. Their recommendations were very good. Drinks and food are amazing. The menu is small but unique. Effort has been made not only in menu planning but each dish or drink that was served was delicious. There is nothing amiss. I hope they continue to serve in this consistent manner. This is a must try if you are fed up of the Butter chicken and dal makhni being dished out everywhere. I recommend The Kiwi Panna, curry leaf sour, Jamun vinegar, Neermor. In food the tamarind fish, Keema gujiya, fish and potato kebab, ginger and lime chicken. Halwa , kheer and the chocolate torte are all brilliant. Do visit for a wonderful dining experience.

Very Nice place and food...

Super Staff, Great Taste and perfectly matching Beer and Wine options!I would highly recommend. This is basis my two recent visits over last two months (Nov n Dec 2019).

Monsoon at World Mark 1 is run by Cafe Lota is a great place as well. The place serves great tasting innovative Indian food. Highly recommended.

Except 1 or 2 dishes, rest all were very normal dishes

Great food and great service. New take on the dishes and they deliver with taste and aroma. Recommended.

Wow! Great place, excellent food, creative, exciting, and with a fresh kick! The chocolate cake is superb, I ate it so slowly... Hard to see go away ... Enjoy!

Ordered three dishes for an early dinner - Buckwheat Pancakes with Mushrooms, Keema Gujiya and Dhokar. Each dish was very well prepared. The Buckwheat Pancakes were outstanding and the Dhokar tasted as good as it looked. Food was amazing. Highly recommend.

The food is amazing. Tried the tinda & Dal platter. Very well prepared & has great taste. Must try 👍

Delicious food - came in for some small bite, ended up ordering more and more. Can recommend momos, buckwheat pancakes, soup, paneer curry.

Very nice. Peaceful and calm location, can get a seat easily. Sunday brunch menu available. Good options.

Amazing decor. Simply awesomely curated dishes not found anywhere else. Highly recommend to try at-least once.

Awesome Fusion Indian food.. truly loved it

Chic and out of the box setting if you can deal with overpriced and small sized bites.

Beautiful, vibrant ambience, courteous staff and delicious food

Nothing better than this Aerocity, Veg Non veg both with artist Fusion. Very detailed menu, and love the service and taste is on the top. I wish I will be there in a big group so that o can try all. :)))

The energy flow starts with the quality of food. I cannot be more elated to describe my recent culinary odyssey at Monsoon café, Aerocity. Here the experience is cherished the moment you step inside. Located Worldmark 1, Aerocity, this place is a must visit for people who love experimenting with food.Soft lights and a warm vibe welcome you as you walk inside the space. The décor is subtle yet speaks a thousand words. The plants added in each corner only accentuate the experience. Simplicity is the key word here, so you can find minimalistic seating arrangement. You can be assured of great service with an added touch of warm hospitality. The chef in charge, Mr. Udit has added a creative twist in each dish thus making the experience holistic.Broccoli Makhani served with Grover Vineyard LA Reserve Red -This dish kept its texture really well, cooked with malai marinade and flavored with spices including with tomato and green chili, along with little shreds of ginger. The gravy was absolutely superb, the spices beautifully balanced. The basket of naans, paranthas and rotis breads was also impressive. The texture of each bread was soft and supple. The stuffed naan, enriched with spices was brilliant. The Grover Vineyard LA Reserve was a brooding concoction of matured red fruits and sweet spices softened by delicate oak.

Meh ! The only thing remarkable was the quinoa sausage pulao (or paella? I forget). The food wasnt bad but probably they set expectations too high and you are left wondering. More cocktails pls !

Yummy food

Yday I visited this cafe..it is a nice and very subtle cafe..love this place..food items are different and they maintained good taste as well..tried kala chana tiki and idli.. it was nice and healthy..I would love to give credit to Mr. UMAKANT who took care of us very well and suggested our food items as per our taste..I would surely recommend to visit this place at least once....

Coming up with innovative Indian food is one line which describes this place. I never thought one can have same Indian food which you eat at home in different but authentic indian avatar. My first day xperience almost everything we ordered was finger licking delicious. Do try Tinda it is unlike what youve ever had before.

Good assortment of food....good collection of beers

Beautifulyl fusioned Indian food..... Surprise to the palate 🥰

Great place to try contemporary takes on classic Indian dishes. The fried chicken, keema gujiya, and aloo gosht were very tasty. Service was good and a great selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. Would definitely return!

So I visited this amazing place with a friend of mine for lunch. Restaurant is not easy to locate though it is in aerocity but we found it via maps. So after entering the restaurant waiter showed us the way. Restaurant is not very big hence faster service.For starters we orderd three dishes Anands Fish Chops they were great, Keema Gujiya they were also good and lastly my favourite Monsoon Fried Chicken which was damn good. In drinks we ordered Asafetida Sour, Elderflower Spritzer and Tamarind Lemonade all drinks no complains there but Elderflower Spritzer was freaking amazing it had very different taste I never experienced.For main course I ordered sesame chicken it was  boneless chicken thigh in a rich white gravy and was very good. In desert we ordered Kheer which was topped with salted caramel and was delicious, we also had Chocolate Torte which was a rich choclate moose on a base of mango leather and was devine.Overall a great experience and would recommend everyone to visit it atleast once and experience their delicacies.

Experiential

Encouraged by Cafe Lota, out for a dinner with friends, we booked a table at Monsoon. Located on the LGF of Worldmark, the restaurant is located on one corner of the floor. The staff is well trained and helpful.The food is different, the fried chicken and ginger lemon chicken and veg kabab platter were all, well tasty, but somehow something was less than perfect.The dessert of dark chocolate was just right for me, but the rest of us didnt quite like it. Overall, a tad disappointed.

Its not your run of the mill dining option. The creativity with food is not just outstanding, it checks all boxes from the subtle flavours on its unique menu, to an extensive wine and beer menu. Run by adventurer, and the very versatile hotelier and restauranteur Rajesh Ojha, Monsoon is an absolute must visit. They will have you hook, line and sinker with just the buckwheat pancake!

This is one of the finest place in World Mark Aerocity 1.We spent our Sunday evening at this place and it was totally worth it.•We ordered following things to enjoy our meal:).1. Cucumber & Basil Daiquiri- Refreshing and Soothing2. Chocolate Torte - Best Best for Dark Chocolate Lovers3. Prawn Momos - Hmmm Yummmmmmmmmm4. Podi Idli - Thes best podi idi in delhi5. Kiwi Panna - Very Different and Unique6. Coffee and Orange Halwa - It was totally impressive to see such fusion halwa7. Millet Risotto - It was like a homemade khichdi bit extremely tasty:).This is very different from all the typical types of cafes around. A must must try to this very interesting with modern Indian cuisine place.

Good decor, AMAZING FOOD

Delicious food options focusing on regional cuisine.Must try items:buckwheat pan cakes,tamarind fish,Jackfruit from coorg

Its a venture by melting pot company. Menu is fusion of indian flavours.Here are a few picks from the menu that you must-order :Keema GujiyaBroccoli MakhaniSesame ChickenKiwi Ka Panna

We were lured to visit Monsoon when we realized that this fine dining eatery at World Mark in Aerocity was yet another creation from the owners of FARZI CAFÉ. My husband and I were curious to find out what Zorawar Kalra’s creative imagination would bring for those who searched for new food destinations serving new kind of cuisines, while dining out over the weekends.The ground floor of World Mark is sprawling which gives it a feeling of space in the midst of naturally created surrounding amidst which is the food court.The set meal option at Monsoon is what was stressed on by the young man waiting outside. Well, he convinced us and we wanted to try out the set menu (Non-vegetarian meal: 1 starter + 1 main + 1 dessert). So we both chose an item each from the starters, main course and the sweet dish.Being strictly non-vegetarians we ordered Anand’s Fish Chops. The description was simple: Shredded rohu and potato cutlets, encased in semolina and served with a bell-pepper chutney (dairy free). The three round cutlets were generously padded with semolina making them crunchy outside. Inside, of course, it tasted of rohu fish. I wondered to myself: what if each diner tasted just his or her share of starters, would that be enough and more satisfying? Well, we both agreed: No. The portions at Monsoon really need to be looked into. Then came the Keema Gujiya (orange-scented, spiced goat mince encased in a spinach short-crust pastry, served with an amla and tamarind chutney). There were three little ‘parcels’ shaped like gujiyas. They looked lost on a fairly large platter served with a little bowl of sauce. This second set of starters were green in colour – it was the spinach which gave it the colour and the filling of the minced meat was perfect. Oh yes, the amla sauce tasted good.We were hoping the quantity of the main course would be satisfying so that we would not have to stop at the biryani counter in the food court next door. We had ordered -- E.I. B Prawns (prawns inspired from the East Indians of Bombay, cooked in a spicy red chilli masala and served with a brioche pao). The taste was very good – flavoured with spices but yet not that hot – perfectly balanced which brought out the flavours in its true forms. Served with four half pieces of pao, the main course was wiped off the serving dish with only a helping each. Next came the Choriz Pulao made of organic quinoa cooked with Goan chorizo sausage, roasted bell peppers, zereshk berries and served with a sunny side up egg and spicy tomato ketchup. The Goan sausages cut into small pieces lent the pulao a meaty, smoky, tangy taste but other than that, there was nothing much to write home about.To sum it up, the dining experience @ Monsoon will be remembered for its taste but would prefer a soup or drink added if one’s appetite is to be satisfied.If Zorawar Kalra excelled with Farzi Cafe, we dont think he will make much of an impression with Monsoon. We expected much more...Rating from 5Food: 4.5Décor: 4Service 4.5

Thoroughly enjoyed the food , ambience and service . Highly recommendable!

It is the best food please in Arocity New Delhi. 👌✌😘

Amazing food and ambient atmosphere

Fodd Taste was good....but the portion size was way below normal....felt cheated with the price to pay per portion 👎👎👎👎👎

As amazing as cafe Lota

If you want unwanted names of the dish and not for the taste , go for it.

Awesome food!!!

Very good restaurant and very good service. Located at the Aerocity prices are very affordable, I recommend 100%.
