The Drunken Munkey - UES 338 East 92nd Street, Manhattan, New York 10128

"We’ve dined in twice and have ordered takeout a handful of times. My husband really likes the chicken tikka appetizer he has that for an entree with the garlic naan which is also very good. I love traditional Indian food and this definitely is not that but it’s not bad for an Americanized twist on it. The butter chicken is the one dish I find good however the rice always tastes like soap for some reason. My friend tried it recently and said the same thing."

"We discovered this place when we were in the area, so it was a spontaneous decision on our last night in NYC (21st Dec). Glad we found this (as we struggled to find good Indian food in NYC - we are a little spoiled for choice in London). Relaxed atmosphere (playing jazz music), good vibe and great Indian food. The best dish was 'Butter Chicken Tikka Masala' the chicken was cooked perfectly and sauce was mild but very delicious. The cocktails were also class (particularly the Elderflower cocktail); and even the desserts were good (though more fusion than classical Indian)."

"Indian food with Americanized flavors to it. Great ambiance and service - a decent menu offering making it simple to choose and not overwhelming. Love their bartender - amazing cocktail menu and perfect pour. Tried a couple of them, one with gin base and another one with bourbon base. The gajar ka halwa with ice cream and toffee pudding are out of the world. All my visits post the first one have just been for drinks and desserts. Skip the food and go to desserts directly - mantra!!"

"★★★ ★ DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AUTHENTIC INDIAN FOOD★★★★★ If you are looking for an authentic Indian restaurant then this is a far cry from it, however if you are one of those who think of curry as a sauce then this is for you. The prices were off the charts, but I expected that because of the location, however the taste is the final nail in the coffin. You would see more Americans than Indians dining in there because Indians know that this isn't authentic and just waste of money. The ambience is horrible, there is no lighting whatsoever, whatever little light emits is so dim that occasionally I had to pop in my toruch to see what I'm eating. All in all it was a horrible experience, never going back again!"

"Easily the best Indian food I've ever had! Luis and Marina were so sweet and made brunch an event - even asking if we had any music requests. I can't wait to go back for more!!"
