Fodor's Expert Review The Drunken Munkey

$$ Upper East Side Dinner

This cocktail-forward Anglo-Indian restaurant and bar, a warm space with wooden tables, pays homage to the flavors and beverages found in the bistros, cafés, and supper clubs of "Old Bombay" in the early 20th century. In addition to plenty of curries and kabobs, the menu has whole tandoori fish, Goan pork, curries in various heat registers, kebabs, and biryani, "the royal rice." Paanch (punch) is ladled out by the bowl, and cocktails include the Indian Spiced Old-Fashioned and the Saffron Sazerac. Best deal is the Munkey Prix-Fixe dinner ($26--$28), including a vegetarian option.
