The Drunken Munkey - UES
Cocktail-driven Indian spot where richly spiced curries meet speakeasy lighting.
Notable Picks
8.8
The Drunken Munkey runs as a colonial-style Indian cocktail bar where butter chicken, biryani, and house curries share equal billing with gin-and-spice drinks in a dim, crowded room. Locals treat it as a destination for date nights and small-group hangs when they want polished Indian plates, serious cocktails, and a buzzy Upper East Side crowd.
Must-Try Dishes:
Butter Chicken Tikka Masala, Railway Chicken, Munkey Lamb Biryani
What Makes it Special: Cocktail-driven Indian spot where richly spiced curries meet speakeasy lighting.

Comfort Food Classics
A steady Yorkville North Indian sit-down that’s strongest in the classics lane—rich curries, well-timed tandoor items, and a reliable lunch-special rhythm. Order one curry anchor plus one tandoori or paneer starter, then let naan do the rest instead of overloading the table with too many mains.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken tikka masala, Samosas, Tandoori paneer
What Makes it Special: A reliable Yorkville North Indian kitchen with strong curry-and-tandoor fundamentals.
