Monty, Monty, Montys?

A (not so) wintery Friday night took us to finally try out one of the three Monty’s Nepalese restaurants in Ealing.

As you may have noticed ‘Montys’ appears not at one, or two... but three locations across Ealing. So the story goes; three partners who founded the original Montys went their separate ways in, and each started their own restaurant with the same name... and logo! Today Monty’s Tandoori in South Ealing still stands after the original opening in 1980.

Montys of London in Ealing Broadway, and Montys restaurant in West Ealing, all have unique websites and operate as independent businesses.

Being the closest, we decided to first try out the one in South Ealing. We booked a table online (just in case it happened to be busy) and arrived on Friday evening.

It was indeed pretty busy, and had a great bustling atmosphere in a relatively cosy setting. It might have been the delicious scent of the Asian cuisine, but the place had a feel of mountainside restaurant with its large window at the front and long, almost cave-like interior. 

The waiters were notably friendly, but also professional – attentive and yet not intrusive. We were served quickly and tended to politely. 

We overindulged on some delicious starters followed by some traditional Nepalese curries. The food was delicious, though we couldn’t help compare it to its spicy Indian competition. The dishes we ordered were relatively mild by comparison. 

When we ordered our bill we discovered that by having booked out table online we were also eligible for a 20% discount – a welcome bonus to the already very lovely evening.
