MONSOON BAR & GRILL

Monsoon Bar & Grill in Maui is a great spot for flavorful Indian food in a relaxed setting. We tried the dal, paneer curry, and fresh naan, and everything tasted rich and comforting with authentic spices. The dal was hearty and well-seasoned, the paneer curry had a creamy, flavorful sauce with soft paneer pieces, and the naan came out warm and perfectly soft, great for scooping up the curries. Portions were generous and the dishes felt freshly made. Overall, it’s a solid place to enjoy classic Indian comfort food while in Maui. 🍛🥘

The food here was a highlight—the butter chicken, naan bread, and rice were all delicious and full of flavor. However, the experience was mixed due to a few other factors. • Menu & Pricing: The Indian cuisine menu is somewhat limited, and be aware that entrees are à la carte, so rice is an additional charge. • Service: We visited during sunset and found the service to be quite slow. • Facilities: The bathrooms were in need of attention and could be much cleaner. • Hidden Costs: Keep a close eye on your check, as they may automatically add a 20% gratuity to the bill. Overall, it’s a great spot for tasty food and views, but come prepared for slow service and extra costs."

I love their food and service. Masala papad is a must try. Tomato soup was pretty decent. Garlic naan and aloo mutter were good too. Staff is very quick and friendly. The best part is to have food with beach/sunset views. The views are incredible. Do try this restaurant if you are around Maui.

The sunset views alone make this place worth visiting. It gets very busy around sunset, and since the windows are kept open, it can get a bit chilly—bring a light sweater or jacket depending on the weather. The food was good (and honestly great considering it’s one of the few Indian options around), but the service was very slow. Definitely order everything at once. The server was upfront about it and even mentioned that getting an extra roti or naan later would take another 30 minutes because we had under-ordered. That said, between the views and the food, it’s still absolutely worth a visit.

❌It doesn’t matter how good the food is if the customer service is terrible. ❌ The experience started poorly at the front desk. The receptionist had an attitude and immediately asked if we had reservations. When we said no—and mentioned that we tried calling five times the day before and twice the day of—we were told they had turned off the phones because they were “too busy.” 😳 We were told to wait 20 minutes for a table, even though a row of tables by the windows sat empty from the time we walked in until shortly before we left. The excuse was that those tables were “reserved,” yet they remained blocked for over 45 minutes while customers waited. That’s a questionable business practice. When the waiter finally arrived, we asked about options for dietary restrictions. His response: not
