More information on Monsoon
You won't find any tandoori chicken on this nouveau Indian menu. Pappadams -- that Indian-restaurant appetizer staple -- are transformed here into egg-roll-like wrappers for prawns, and corn chowder takes an exotic turn with the addition of saffron. Cornish hen is smoked with Darjeeling tea and served on a mix of rice, cashews, pistachios, and golden raisins, while lobster is poached in ghee and treated to a five-spice rub. A word of warning to those with delicate taste buds: Even some of the innocent-sounding dishes can be quite hot, so ask before ordering. Dessert isn't usually the highlight of an Indian meal, but the creative sweets here are worth a try (mocha spice cake with cardamom ice cream or saffron cheesecake). Monsoon is definitely an upscale restaurant, with an elegant look (deep red velvet drapes, upholstered banquettes) and prices that are quite high for the area. But it offers a creative alternative to the burgers 'n' brats found at many of the other restaurants in the neighborhood. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
