    We had lunch with family and ordered Crispy Corn, Dynamite Chicken, Gully Chicken, Butter Paneer, Kadai Chicken, Butter Naan, Garlic Naan, Street Style Veg Noodles, Vijayawada Chicken Biryani, and Goat Roast Biryani. Crispy Corn was okayish, but everything else was perfect! Dynamite Chicken and Gully Chicken were full of flavor, curries like Butter Paneer and Kadai Chicken paired beautifully with the naans. Street Style Veg Noodles were delicious with the perfect wok-fired flavor. Vijayawada Chicken Biryani was spicy and aromatic, and the Goat Roast Biryani was tender and rich — truly a standout. Service was polite, portions were satisfying, and the overall experience was excellent. Highly recommend for a flavorful family lunch!

    TLDR; THIS FOOD WAS AMAZING for our catering order for a 115 person Desi party!! I had the pleasure of working with The Monk's Richmond for a catering order for a party of 115 people. From the start, they were very responsive with phone calls, taking the order down, providing recommendations, etc. I was able to come and taste test the food and it was delicious! However, one of my fears was that the actual catering order would taste different since it was being cooked on a larger scale. I'm so happy to say that all the guests RAVED about the food. Numerous people, both young and older/parents, approached me asking where the food was from and saying it was some of the best catered food they have had. It made me so happy as the host!! I want to really recommend this business and their food for any Desi parties. We ordered the Dynamite chicken, the Gobi darbar, the Maggi rolls, chicken lollipops, the chicken momos. People LOVED the dynamite chicken, gobi darbar and the momos. Once again, it was an absolute pleasure working with this business and highly recommend for Desi events!
