Monsoona

As refreshing as the meteorological phenomenon from which the restaurant takes its name, Monsoona is an Indian eatery with a major point of difference. Rather than relying on the heavy use of salt, sugar and oils to impart flavour, Monsoona houses a health-conscious kitchen at its intimate premises on Bridge Street in Aberdeen’s city centre. Using sunflower oil – low in saturated fat and high in vitamin E – plus low-fat yoghurt and cream, Monsoona’s South Asian dishes are guilt-free indulgences. The setting and decor imparts a healthy passion too, romantic and snug – ideal for a dinner date or a private gathering of up to 50 guests. The menu is, very naturally, dominated by Indian and Pakistani cuisines, meat, seafood and vegetarian delicacies, but you can also find some Asian fusion (including Indo-Chinese) delicacies, too.
