Monsoon

Monsoon is one of the few restaurants in Tehran that has maintained it's status and quality over the past few years making it a standard fixture in the city's restaurant circuit. Monsoon operates under the same management as Bix and Boulevard but caters to a different group of people.

While not brilliant, the Asian Fusion menu offers a sound selection from sushi to Thai green curry... and lets face it, in Tehran it's probably the best you're going to get. The Sushi is reasonably fresh (good for landlocked Tehran) which is a delightful change from other places and the chicken satay for starters is delicious. Several small things would have made a good difference as well: The green tea was of the teabag variety as opposed to the leaf variety, and i'm sure some of the lettuce in one of my dishes was not completely fresh.



Service is swift, efficient, helpful, and most importantly with a smile. You can clearly see that this place is properly managed.

Overall, Monsoon has a very chilled out and casual atmosphere giving it a very relaxed no-cares vibe. However, it is popular and crowded so booking in advance is highly advised - and if you do book your table will be confirmed the day before.
