About Drunken Monkey Indian Tapas Bar & Restaurant
Drunken Monkey Indian Tapas Bar & Restaurant is an indian restaurant in North Adelaide, Adelaide. Tastibase scores each of its dishes individually from real customer reviews, instead of rolling everything into one star average — so you can see exactly what this kitchen does well, dish by dish.
Its standout is Amritsari Fish, scoring 5.8/10 — a fair result from 4 review mentions — and 2 other dishs have enough reviews to rank as well.
What it does best
The dishes diners rate most highly here are Amritsari Fish (5.8), Naan (5.7) and Biryani (4.8). A average score on Tastibase means the praise is consistent across many independent reviews rather than a one-off, so these are the safe orders.
Regulars most often single out its amritsari fish, naan, biryani — a good place to start if it’s your first visit.
How these scores work
Every score here comes only from public reviews from the last three years, weighted so a single glowing write-up can’t inflate a dish — a kitchen needs steady, repeated praise to rank well. Tastibase’s dish scores sit alongside Drunken Monkey Indian Tapas Bar & Restaurant’s overall 4.1-star rating, but go a level deeper: they tell you which specific dishes are worth ordering, not just how the venue rates overall.
