"This was our 2nd time ordering here. The first time we got chicken tikka masala to go & it was delicious! This time we decided to dine in & order the fried paneer momos (so gooooood) butter chicken curry & garlic naan, beyond satisfied!"

"After a lot of convincing from my friend that their biriyani is the best in all of Houston, I ordered the Vijayawada Special Chicken Biryani (the family pack which comes with an appetizer and a dessert) and my friend was absolutely right. The biriyani is the best!!! Haven’t been stopping ordering from the restaurant. The appetizer we got from the family pack was so tasty that we tried to order the appetizer as a full meal. Couldn't figure out the exact appetizer. So I called the restaurant and they suggested trying either the chicken Manchuria or the sweet ginger garlic chicken. And it was sweet ginger garlic chicken and it was delicious. One time I ordered the Paneer Monk's Special Momo and this one is also yummy. Never been disappointed with any food from here. Highly recommend it. Update January 2024: Recently tried Monks Chopsuey Noodles and Wok Tossed Hakka Noodles. These are fantastic. The last time I have had chopsuey in my native country and now today, and it was authentically delicious. Can not express fully how amazingly tasty their food is."

"Saag Paneer was black instead of green and was so spicy I couldn't eat it. My mouth burned for half an hour from one bite. I waited over 20 minutes for take out and there were only 2 other people in the restaurant. The price was very high in my opinion. Server sneezed on my bagged food. Samosas were okay but the dipping sauce was watery. I won't go back for sure."

"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 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"
