Monsoona Healthy Indian cuisine

You walk down Bridge Street and stumble upon what might be Aberdeen's most refreshing take on Indian food. Where most curry houses pile on the ghee and cream, Monsoona strips things back to let the actual spices do the talking. The result is vibrant, punchy dishes that leave you satisfied rather than sluggish. The menu reads like a greatest hits of regional Indian cooking, but everything's been thoughtfully lightened without losing an ounce of flavour. Their tandoori dishes are particularly brilliant – charred and smoky without being doused in heavy marinades. It's the kind of place that's changed how many Aberdonians think about Indian food, proving you don't need to sacrifice taste for health.
