Monsoon

Monsoon is a modern Indian restaurant built around shareable plates, with tandoor dishes, curries and biryanis at the center of the menu. Popular choices include tandoori chicken, butter chicken, lamb rogan josh, and seafood biryani with shrimp, scallops and crab, along with garlic naan and samosas. Each dish is prepared to order.

Diners pick their spice level, from mild up to Indian hot, and the kitchen runs a two-course express lunch on weekdays. Takeout and online ordering are available, and gift cards can be bought online. The Hampton restaurant is on Allainby Way, and a second location is in Chesapeake.
