The Monroe Cafe: A Rooftop Restaurant in Indore
The Monroe Cafe is a rooftop restaurant in Indore for exquisite vegetarian finger foods and main-course entrees. I was recently invited to assess the restaurant’s food menu, and here is how it went. In terms of the furnishings, this location has been compartmentalised to allow you to enjoy a pleasant dining experience with plenty of privacy.
Each one is lavishly furnished with curtain walls and hangings. Beautiful chandeliers and IoT technology, which is the first of its type in Madhya Pradesh, add to the aesthetic. Waving or whistling at the waitstaff is no longer permissible, nor is having them interrupt you uninvitingly.
With the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, you can simply touch a button on your table, and waitstaff will appear promptly to meet your culinary needs. In the meantime, relax to the soothing throwback melodies in the background or watch a sports game on the big screen as they cook your dinner. Alternatively, you may simply unwind and enjoy the mocktails, as I did.
The vivid yellow Hawaiin Punch and the deep crimson Mint-O were served to us as a welcome drink. While the Hawaiin Punch was packed with the deliciousness of pineapple and other fruits, Mint-O was flavoured with mint. Each is equally appetising, albeit a tad too sweet for my liking.
Starting with a platter that comprised Veg Seekh Kebab, Corn Kebabs, Bhatti Ka Paneer, and Thai Red Curry Paneer Tikka, our Sunday brunch kicked off. The standout starters for me were the tandoor grilled Bhatti Ke Paneer (immersed in Indian spices) and the Thai Red Curry Paneer Tikka flavoured with Lemongrass and Galangal butter.
The first course flavours were boosted by the cooking technique. On the other side, the Veg Seekh Kebab was a terrific vegetarian alternative to the non-vegetarian appetiser. The texture of the corn kebabs, however, need a little more crunch and tenderness.
I was served the Punjabi style Lababdar-E-Paneer for the main course, which is a moderately acidic and faintly sweet creamy delight for anyone who enjoys Paneer. Salad, rice, and fruit yoghurt accompanied this main meal.
Finally, the restaurant gave us a seven-layer Oreo Kitkat Chocolate Ganache Cream pie with whipped cream, Oreo biscuits, and KitKat chocolates for dessert. Overall, the Monroe Cafe held a nice Sunday brunch.
The rooftop offers a pleasant wind at all times, while coolers are available for those hot days. This peaceful cafe is a fabulous stop in the heart of the city for getting together with friends to cheer on sports or spending quality time with family and loved ones.
