Delectably orchestrated, the experience at eau de Monsoon ensures you relish the secret recipes of our chefs, the cuisine is intriguing. True and traditional in its roots, the cuisines are prepared embracing an assortment of innovative ways.

The eclectic interiors match the beautifully plated meals perfectly. The stunning garden the restaurant overlooks is the ideal setting for the delectable meal you know is about to follow. At our first meal at eau de Monsoon, we realised that the essence of the food is traditionally Indian, but it was the modern twist given to the dishes that left us wonderstruck. The classic tastes are captured impeccably and the inclusion of elements like Raita Jelly and Jalapeno Murabba kept out taste buds on their toes.
