The Drunken Munkey brings serious flavor with a fun, relaxed vibe. The menu blends classic Indian dishes with a few twists, and it works really well. The lamb biryani is rich and satisfying, and the samosas are crisp and well seasoned. Cocktails here are a big part of the experience, and the bar puts real effort into them. Mango lassi is thick and refreshing, and yes, the sticky toffee pudding lives up to the hype. The space feels upscale but still comfortable, great for a dinner date or group outing. Staff are sharp, helpful, and clearly proud of the place. Service is fast without rushing you. It’s one of those places that makes you want to order everything. Easy to see why people keep coming back.
