Have not been in many years and sadly it didn’t quite deliver. It seemed quite overstaffed although it did get busier, but the staff seemed very standoffish and not very friendly. Even a bit hurried despite not being busy.The chicken tikka masala was fairly good, but the dry fry wasn’t up to scratch and tasted a bit reheated if anything. The pilau rice and naan were both average too.In terms of the prices they were above what you’d generally hope, but the quality and service didn’t live up to that price point. If the staff were friendly that would sweeten the pill. No such luck!Overall there are plenty of better places in the area and I wouldn’t hurry back. Quite a generous 3/5 which if broken down more exactly would be a 2.5 in truth.

Beautiful place, nice staff. Food was very good, well balanced. I will go again.

Not great.Initially, the service seems quite good and popadoms, and a substantial pickle tray are brought out (this is good, none of these ‘thimble’ portions here). They are also very attentive re. Drinks.However, this is a ‘holding pattern’ and things get worse thereafter.The curry itself was decidedly average. I had a Lamb Vindaloo (at over £11) had a sum total of three chunks of ‘meat’ in it (and half a potato) swilling round in loads of sauce.Come on, that is not ok.The final straw was them quibbling, and making a big deal, over a genuine discrepancy on the billthat was less than the service charge (we would have, obviously sorted this immediately with better service). This was approached like we were trying to shaft them rather than in a good humoured way (given the amount we had spent)Not cool. Go somewhere else.

I have been dining at Monty’s for about 12 years and I visited 25th January 2024 and took a friend along as I have done many times. It was most disappointing the main course food was reheated lamb and chicken dishes the sauce on the meat was all dried up you could tell it was not freshly cooked and it was not acceptable for the prices. The waiters also seemed to have a rude attitude and were not their usually friendly selves. I’m afraid I won’t be returning here despite it being a regular favourite all these years. It’s lost its mojo.

Excellent! Fab service, excellent food! We have redress take away for a group of 8, everything was perfect and absolutely delicious! Food was ready for collection on time, definitely recommend!
I have been eating at Monty’s for over 25 years. It is my favourite restaurant anywhere. The Hasina, Pahadi Lamb and Butter Chicken are all outstanding. Unfortunately I have moved away but if I am anywhere near I will always visit. Consequently I frequently dine alone. The guys are so accommodating and are aware of my favourite choices and will prepare me 2 half dishes. Surely this couldn’t happen absolutely anywhere else! I cannot wait to visit again. See you soon!

Best curry in SW London - Been eating at Monty’s for 30+yrs and the quality is always top notch. Staff are wonderful and service is great. Ignore any review below 4* as these reviewers are muppets and would be more at home in

One of the best curries I’ve ever had - old school. Staff are really welcoming and atmosphere cool and relaxed. Looking forward to our next visit.

Used to be my fav place to order in from. Quality of food has gone down so much -it’s heartbreaking.I am so sad. And mad. The same dishes I’ve been ordering for years are almost recognizable! Change of chef? Change of quality of ingredients? I have no idea - but it’s so bad.… it was genuinely my one trusted meal that I knew I could always order and it was always amazing … now, it’s like the chef has lost his tastebuds and does not know how to balance his flavors anymore… cut backs on costs? Cheaper quality ingredients? I couldn’t tell you- but whatever it is- it also looks just as unappealing as it tastes. It’s a tradegy and so disappointing.
