Monsoon Thunder Bay in Thunder Bay

The waitress was excellent The food was unreal The place was cozy and relaxing My daughter, my husband and I all loved it. Thank you for being so sweet with our crabby baby -- the food and the kind waitress really helped her mood! :) Well be back soon!!

*Disappointing Experience at Monsoon Thunder Bay* I recently ordered the Chicken Biryani from Monsoon Thunder Bay, and unfortunately, my experience was underwhelming. While the flavor of the biryani was decent, the quantity was surprisingly small, especially considering the price point. To add to my disappointment, the dish did not come with any accompaniments, such as salan or raita, which are typically included with biryani orders. This made the meal feel incomplete and overpriced.

Very very tasty Indian food. You can tell they put a lot into their sauces. Great quaity. Grandma s recipe.

Vansh was fantastic! Great attitude...very pleasant. Thanks! Parking: Good..

Vansh was fantastic and brought us amazing food. Thank you for great conversation.

Flavorful food spices are perfect prices are very reasonable. Definitely recommend!

Super Tasty

Best food of Thunder bay, do try it.

The food was delicious, ambience was good. Also, the staffs were welcoming and friendly. Everything was good. Food : 5/5

Its really good and filling , good service and buffet

This how I received my veg thali today. Laddu in paneer kadhai sauce.

It is a great place and food was very delicious. The girl who was on counter, was very very nice. One turban boy was very nice. Friendly behavior. I visited it first time but I want to visit it again and again. I love it. Food

Hands down the best indian food Ive had since moving from Vancouver. I would even say that its my favorite restaurant in thunder bay Very nice staff and very clean, highly recommend Food

Amazing food, friendly staff, great environment! Definitely recommend checking Monsoon out if youre in the area!

We were in town for a week and I was really craving Indian food. Monsoon did not disappoint. My husband loved the butter chicken and I ordered vegetable biryani and paneer palak. I thought mine were among the best I have ever had and I have had lots. I also enjoyed the selection of desserts in the platter. Vegetarian options: I was pleased with the vegetarian selection.

I visited during my trip to Montreal and it was really awesome experience with them first thing is portion of food and ambience of place and taste was really grate

First time for my husbands birthday and we ll definitely be back. Great food, great service! Vegetarian options: Excited to enjoy a place that has more than one or two vegetarian options. Everything was delicious. Dietary restrictions: Great options for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free.

I had best chole bhature in monsoon Vegetarian options: Choley bhature Food : 5/5 |

NEVER ENTER THE RESTAURANT AT ANY COST Not a single food on the menu was up to the marks whether in buffet or al a carte. Worst food I have ever eaten in Canada till now. Please do not consider this restaurant at any cost. There was nothing good in the restaurant. Worst food. Bad service. Worst taste. Worst ambience.

ALERT ALERT ALERT First of all its not an authentic indian food restaurant so beaware of it. Im sharing my experience of dine in for dinner as one the worst experiences of my life. No taste at all in any food items. Worst quality food in thunder bay. Bad service with long waiting time for food. Please im requesting you to not waste your money in this restaurant. You will be disappointed.

Do not visit this restaurant in any situation. I had dinner in this restaurant but food was very bad along with the worst service possible. There is only one girl for taking care of customers from welcoming to taking order to billing it which doesnt make sense it makes the service very bad. Talking about the food I have ordered buttermilk and it took 25mins to be prepared and that still with salty Lassi not authentic chaas. garlic Naan was without garlic in it. all food in the buffet was cold plss do not opt for buffet it is a scam. Do not spend your valuable time and money in this worst restaurant.

Not happy about my experience at all. I am a vegetarian and i specifically asked for a paneer curry and they gave me a meat/chicken curry instead. As i walked in to get the right order no one from the staff even acknowledged or said a simple sorry for the mix up on their end. I didn t expect anything big but as per experience, customer service was really bad.

Must try chole bhature

Service was good by the girl. But dont go if you really like Indian food. Had two non veg and 2 veg curries but believe me its not indian food. Maybe if someone ( even not from Asia) who never made indian food and will just watch one youtube video will definitely cook 10x better then the food served here. I am a Chef and never write bad review about food until and unless it have crossed the limit of limits. Maybe just try shahi panner but its not even white gravy as they advertise and sell Sorry but not sorry

Very good food So so delicious Very nice costumer service Buffet has many delicious food Vegetarian options: Yes Halal food too Kid-friendliness: Very friendly with kids

If you re going to say you re open until 11:30pm, then take orders until 11:30pm ffs I just spent 20mins reading over the menu and contemplating what to order and called at 10:57pm only to be told that youre not taking anymore orders because apparently you re closed at 11. If I knew this, I would have just ordered from somewhere else quickly to get an order in because now it s 11:15 and EVERYTHING is closed now. Thanks. 0 stars. Do not recommend a place that can t even list their hours properly. And don t trust ANY establishment that cant correctly list their hours on google. Any and all credit out the window. FIX IT IMMEDIATELY Monsoon, before you waste anyone else s time.

Totally wastage of money and time. Zero quality food.

I came to this store on thanksgiving day evening, we ordered buffet and it was so delicious and Tasty .. excellent customer service done by the girl (front Staff ) . we really enjoyed the food .

Vansh , great guy , great service. Vegetarian options: Best Food : 4/5 |

Delicious food. New-to-Indian food friendly. Wonderfully tasty Naan bread--stone cooked. Lots of variety for any type of eater. Vegetarian options: Always at least 3 different veggie options. Tonight there was 4! Parking: Shares a strip mall parking lot. Many spaces. Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor restaurant.

We went here to celebrate my girlfriend s birthday yesterday and we had an amazing time. We enjoyed the ambiance and the atmosphere, food and everything!! To Ravneet, Thankyou for making our day extra special . God bless you and i hope you have an amazing year ahead.

We enjoy the service and the food!!

Tried their buffet for $25 per person, and it was not worth it .the food tasted like sitting there from 2 days. Ordered garlic Naan and served half cooked soggy butter Naan. Explore other options better trying this restaurant.

Loved the food. Must visit in thunder bay. Loveleen was a great help.

Excellent food, best place in town Vansh was our server he recommended biryani We ordered beef biryani and one of my Freind did buffet, highly recommended!! Flavour ,spice everything was 10/10 The owner of the restaurant is also very welcoming and kind

One of the best places iv ever tried outside of india that really bring the spirit the food was great the service was amazing we were served by an amazing girl named kirien i will definitely come back

Great place!!

The residents of Thunder Bay are pretty freakin lucky to have Monsoon! Wow, wow, wow! Just excellent across the board! Garlic naan was light and delicious, butter chicken was some of the best I ve had, my dining partner said her her dosa was the best she d ever had, and the warm gulab jaman to accompany my delicious chai was a superb finish! And super-friendly staff too. Go to there!!

The service was an unmitigated disaster. We arrive for a very early dinner prior to 4pm. We waited a long time before water or menus arrived we immediately ordered appetizers as soon as she dropped off the menus. It was over an 1h15 before food arrived. We have small children who are patient within reason. Our food had to be remade because she didnt bring it within a reasonable length of time. They need either a more efficient server or an additional one. The food was good, but the overall experience was a disaster. Vegetarian options: Bhindi Okra was delishious. Dietary restrictions: Vegan, seasame allergy

This place is not for vegetarians unless Of course you want to eat tasteless meal!! Food had absolutely no taste at all whatsoever. I at least expected by their reviews that the meal would have salt but of course I was disappointed as I had to season my food. On top of that I had specifically ordered plain dosa without garlic chutney but yet again another disappointing experience when my order came. When I requested the waitress to change my order she just gave the most unexpected expression of staring us and it was not pleasant at all. The Shambhar had water like consistency!! I regret visiting this place and it feels my money got wasted!! Do not visit this place I do not know how do they have even have good reviews!!!

Decent food and pricing. Wouldnt recommend south indian food from there.

Food was ok service was good. Washroom was bad. Would have loved to have dahi boondi or some dahi in buffet menu. Buffet menu had limited options for $24. Overall it was ok

Pathetic garlic naan no galic in garlic naan worst experience ever bad service . I orderd on uber and didnt get my order even near to the worth.

Great food and great service.

Yummy food with nice ambience. Their drinks are awesome

Not at all indian authentic taste Very bad Food

Its really good, the food is made perfectly.

Very tasty, accommodating spice levels

I ordered 1 tandoori roti and they took 20 mins to serve a cold rot and then i ordered 3 cups of masala tea. They took another 30 minutes to serve with salt shaker . I had a bad experience

Poor service i ordered 1 tandoori roti and no one served me that for 20 mins when i asked for it they just picked from there and gave it to me and that was cold and we ordered tea and they add salt in it

Kiran the server was fantastic ~ the food ~ the fun ^-^ Food : 5/5

The food is good. Our server loveleen was wonderful. Had a great time!

Always consistently good food and friendly service. Vegetarian options: Palak paneer Food : 5/5 |

Food is amazing and I liked the Evening Buffet

Worst service ever seen

Ordered roti and matar paneer at 4 and still the order not delivered at 6:30. My house was just 15 minutes away from that place. Worst experience ever.

I had amazing food over here, The service was very good Kiran.

Had quality food, everything was perfect. Plus they play lovely music

Timings are always incorrect. Went there at 11:30pm they are closing at 12am. They said they are closed for dine in and to busy for take out. If you cant handle when you are busy then have more staff interested of saying NO to customers

We took jalebi which were not at all fresh and very soggy Not recommended Food

Front service was fabulous the girl name Kiran is fantastic for her customer service skills.and food was very very very very delicious .thank you all monsoon team for great service

Food was incredible! Favourite food in Thunder Bay

All the sabjis were watered down. I have never seen something like this happening at a restaurant that charges so much. Their prices are way too high for what they offer. I ordered two sabjis, both were runny and bland in taste as if they were watered down to serve more tables. Same thing with lassis. Lassis were just white sugar water. I wouldn t go again.

The restaurant owners are very polite and they serve tasty food. I enjoyed my dinner at this place. Must visit restaurant in Thunder bay.Reasonable price and hygienic place.

I ordered almost 30 min ahead of time but had to wait around 10 minutes more for the order to get ready. The food was delicious but extra super spicy Oh my GOD, that was the Spicer/hot food we had ever eaten lol Both Chicken Biryani and lamb Biryani were extra scipy. We should have made a note beforehand about the spices. Thankfully, we took chicken nuggets for the kids that were not that spicy.

Excellent service! Vansh was warm and welcoming, and the food arrived promptly and delicious. A truly enjoyable dining experience.

Food was delicious & service was amazing, Kiran was the BEST!! Will stop again!! Butter Chicken & Garlic Naan for the win

Awsome food and service

Kiran was very welcoming and nice! The food was great, North Indian style. Kid-friendliness: Kids eat free with buffet! Food : 5/5 |

Tasty food , great Service, Kiran is very attentive and a polite server .

Reserved a table July 1st, 3 were seated at a table for 8. ** Multiple Safety Hazards***Water on the floor & above the water were daisy chained extension cords (15 to 20 feet worth) powering multiple freezers behind & beside me. Buffet was very lackluster, butter chicken gravy was watered down & pasta dishes? I would prefer fewer dishes of higher quality. Kept offering Naan which was good but felt they wanted us to eat more bread. One dish wasnt even luke warm because the can burner beneath was out, I told wait staff. Not keeping food hot is an infraction of food safety. Upon leaving, I got up & the seat fell off my chair. Brought it to the attention to wait staff who apologized while the owner / manager was on a chair behind her staff & was on her phone: not a conversation but on the keyboard, who did not respond to my complaints. Ive been a resident of TBay & have been coming here since 2019 but this place has gone downhill - is not only dirtier but numerous safety hazards - food temperature / water / extension cords plugged into each other for 15 feet, broken chair. Another couple were seated at the end & were told they had to sit beside each other because of the water on the floor. They walked out. We should have too - Yikes! Go to Punjabi or Masala Grill instead.

A must go place for outstanding Indian food with best quality and quantity. The restaurant service was at best as well. There was no waiting to get the table and food was served within 10 mins of order Highly professional at service . I don t have the food pic but the pictures shows on google are exact.

Perfect Place to dine in. Best food of town. Love it

Nice food

Authentic Indian food. Must try. My only go-to place while I am here Vegetarian options: Very good food Food : 5/5 |

Great food and service. Prices very reasonable

The best indian food in thunder bay, service by vansh is really good

Nice palace to eat indian food in thunder bay , late night food point Best service and very polite staff ( vansh ) thanks for food ! Food : 5/5

Great service from the waitress. Enjoyed the non veg platter. Would be back soon.

Yesterday 7th June around 11:20 pm me and my friend entered your restaurant and trying to order and I don t know whats her name but she was taking orders. We were looking at menu and she started saying make it quick make it quick within just 3 mins. I know you guys were closing soon at 12:00 but it takes time to check menu and order. Train your employee how to talk and how ti take oder. I wanted to order more i after her behaviour I didn t order much.

Went for lunch today with my family. Loveleen was our server. Her service was very professional and event the good tasted great

The food here is amazing and their lunxh dinner deals are worth the price ! Loveleen provided us with great service :)

I had a wonderful experience in this Indian restaurant. A girl Loveleen she is so good and provides friendly service.

Being raised into the world of Indian cuisine, I believed I ve experienced everything until I took my first bite here at Monsoon. The delightful food made me realize that there s always going to be something better in life. Finger-licking curries, crispy thin naans, mouthwatering specials, and amazing employees so kindhearted that we had to come back. One may say the prices are hefty but I would counter with the fact that the price are very reasonable for the quantity served. Highly recommend to come with families or big groups! This is a must stop when in Thunder Bay!

An amazing place with amazing food. From the employees to the atmosphere everything was a 10/10. Insanely nice employees that even remembered us when we came back for round two! Not to mention how they close at 11:30 but didnt mention anything about it while we were eating and conversing and even had a nice chat with us at the door around 12. Love the sweet girl that gave us her secrets to her long beautiful hair!

Good place to dine in Vegetarian options: Great food Food : 5/5 |

We will definitely visit again next time we are in Thunder Bay! Vegetarian options: A lot of delicious vegetarian options were available.

Absolutely amazing service! The buffet food was incredible, so flavorful

Service provided by Vansh was outstanding. Didn t had to wait for anything. I would definitely recommend this place

I visited this restaurant last weekend and i had great food. I had very good experience there. All the staff is very friendly and nice there. Specifically the guy named Vansh served me very well and has very friendly nature. So, must go there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Super duper yummy Dal Makhni with Tawa roti....100% taste like home made ...proper balanced spices with excellent flavour ... Vegetarian options: Dal Makhni is highly recommended

Hi, Today I came here with my family and I got a great service from Loveleen. She treats us so sweetly, we liked her service and a great and fresh food there. Vegetarian options: Many options in there

I visited first time here. I like the food and service both. It is nice place to visit with friends and family. Loveleen gave great service. Vegetarian options: Tikka and veg platter

I visited the restaurant for the first time and it was the best experience i would ever had. It was amazing to have Loveleen help us out with everything. She is a gem And the food was sooo good. Spring rolls and Paneer tikka was awesome

The food was delicious and the service was friendly and very helpful, totally recommend trying it out

Really fantastic food. We had the mutton biriyani. Very authentic. Also enjoy your buffet a lot. Im enjoyed to so much Ive eated to my hearts content. Vanish was really good to us and I appreciate how attentive he was taking care of us during out meal.

It is nice

The buffet was very delicious and the service was wonderful.

Watered down curry! I ordered both the chicken and beef curry both were watered down. It was like dipping my nann bread in orange colored water. I ordered rice without cumin and there was cumin in the rice. Disappointed. Wont be eating from here again. Food

I saw today, After one month Near about 30,000 people view my review.its wonderful I will suggest to every person, visit one time and eat Indian and pakistani delicious indian cuisine. Thanks again for you hospitality @jasmine

Monsoon Restaurant is a culinary gem deserving of every star in the galaxy! From the moment you step inside, youre swept away on a gust of tantalizing aromas and exquisite flavors. The food is nothing short of spectacular, each dish a masterpiece crafted with precision and passion. But what truly sets Monsoon apart is the impeccable service; attentive, knowledgeable, and always with a smile. Yes, its often packed and a tad noisy, but thats a testament to its popularity and the infectious energy that fills the air. If youre ready for an unforgettable dining experience, Monsoon is where you need to be! Vegetarian options: Veg options available Parking: Large parking lot

Buffet is awesome as always! And the masala chai is a must try

I generallly get take away, the food is always amazing and the counter service is quick and friendly

Ordered Samosa and Manchurian. Samosas are rock solid and Manchurian tastes like something else. Ordered many other items in the past and never satisfied. Not an authentic Indian food at all. Never going back again.

Great food. Loved the quantity!

Came for a pick up order. Which took longer than normal because of a faulty machine. Didn t do the due diligence to mention that while I waited in the store for this order for about 25minutes - 30 minutes until I asked a third time before they had mentioned that the machine was out order and just kept me waiting needlessly. Disappointing

Awesome indian food !!! Must visit..10 on 10

Amazing eats every time. so flavourful and awesome. always happy to see us and serve us, its a personal favourite. great music too!

Make sure to ask them to make the food spicy to have an authentic Indian meal!

Fabulous flavour in every dish, excellent customer service & great prices!

One of curry was to salty.

delicious indian food!

Always delicious. Appreciated that the server shared instructions - and enthusiasm - for food items that we were unfamiliar with. Will be back! Dietary restrictions: Asked about allergens in the buffet and they checked quickly with the kitchen.

Food was very good

Very disappointed with the quality of food we received last day. The chicken was not cooked properly and tasted raw meat. We ordered chicken vindaloo and you guys better try actual vindaloo and compare it with what you cook. And let us know if u still call urs chicken vindaloo. The gravy also tasted very bad.

I bought red velvet moose cup and it was full of mould. They haven t checked the item before serving to me. I was lucky to notice the mould early otherwise i would have suffered badly. Please make sure to chech the desert items before buying it. No doubt there food is good but those refrigerated deserts are not upto the standards.

Delicious indian food taste. Staff is welcoming, recommend good food options. Fast service. Taste was amazing. Tried staff recommeded mango lassi and it was really good. Vegetarian options: Options available for no onion no garlic

Excellent beef biriani. Very good portions. Very pleasant and accommodating staff. We will be back!

I was blown away at how good everything was. The service was superbly friendly, nice atmosphere, and I stuffed myself at the buffet because in couldnt stop myself. I am very happy and will stop here everytime Im in Thunder Bay. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options, all insanely flavourful and filling.

My recent visit to Monsoon exceeded all expectations. Despite Chicken Butter Masala not being on the menu, they graciously accommodated my request. The dish they specially prepared for me was a true taste of India, bursting with flavor. I highly recommend Monsoon to anyone craving exceptional service and authentic Indian cuisine.

Owner was super friendly abd staff look so unhappy and food was without species and totally tasteless Vegetarian options: Chana masala was without masala and it was so sweet..

I had dinner there once with family and it was good hence I continued to order from there but the customer service over there is so hostile, The food is not so good either I ordered veg platter and the tikkis were half burnt. The chutney they gave was in size of acrylic paint container .

best food in thunder bay. food was really good. service was very professional

Excellent place to have Indian food. They have halal option as well. We tried Butter Chicken, nun. Butter Chicken was absolutely amazing. It took some good time to prepare the food, but when tasted them, it was well worth the wait. Nice cozy atmosphere and interior.

The food we had yesterday was butter panner dal tadka and garlic naan.. It was tasting good for the moment but it did upset our stomach and we puked in the morning because of the butter paneer or the dal And also dal tadka had no tadka and garlic naan had minimal to no garlic on it and no butter. Highly disappointed.

I was super excited for biryani but got mashed rice with chicken gravy mixed together Really disapointed Food

Very good and generous Indian food ! Good portions. We had the Sunday buffet. Friendly service. Recommended.

The food was delicious.. we had shahi paneer with garlic naan and manchurian.. The only thing was that we waited there for around 40 minutes to get our order even though the store wasn t busy that time.. The service is really slow.. Food : 3/5

We had the pakoras, aloo ghobi, dal tadka, hara khara kebab & naan. Everything was so delicious & savoury, & the staff were sweet & attentive. The pricing was also excellent for the portions, we will definitely be back.

Absolutely disgusting. Nothing is authentic. Their biryani is just small/not authentic basmati rice fried in oil and curry. It was so nasty. It s a good spot for typical Indian vegetable stuff, but meat dishes are a big NO. Food is super oily, but owner is nice and seems like he cares.

Lovely food

For how much people bash this place, The food tasted great. Keep in mind its a bit spicy but not overly. The buffet is worth it if you want to try new things. If your a picky eater your better to get something off the menu. Good value for the price I will be back again Vegetarian options: 3 Veg options

Had a really good time here. The food taste is good.

Loved it

We had the buffet option a few nights ago. The food was delicious, no complaints at all. The restaurant was a little cool but that is more of an observation than a complaint. Id definitely eat there again.

Had buffet dinner and food was super delicious and service was quick. Love the greetings, food and service

Fantastic Indian dining experience! The flavors were rich, the service was attentive, and the ambiance was delightful. A must-try for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine.

Worst indian food i ever had in my life ,google doesnt have 0 stars so Im giving 1 We order masala dhosa and it was not dhosa ,it looks like chila the soft one and with lots of oil it has bad smell of oil,cutney has only water there was no coconut nothing in it And we order veg platter paneer was only just one side fried it was not looking paneer tikka no masala on panner ,kabab was like the frozen one, dont like service too Worst experience ever i wont recommend anyone

Best indian food in town they have variety of items in menu we tried butter chicken and dhaba chicken curry it was great breads are fresh love the food vibe was really good

Nice Food & taste but the gravy of shahi paneer is too thin

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in thunder bay

Whenever i ordered something i always add special instruction to make a spicy or a hot but they never make spicy food. Disappointed.

Very authentic Punjabi food. We had the paneer momos, Dal Makhani, malai kofta and breads. The food tasted homely and fresh. We tried a few Indian places in thunder bay, and this was the best one. Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options to choose from
