A Proper British Pub

Monarch & Lion was built to feel like stepping into a real London pub — the kind with 25-foot ceilings, hand-carved woodwork, warm lighting, and a menu that takes comfort food seriously.

We brought in London-based Chef Jitin Joshi to help design a menu rooted in British pub culture, with a twist you won't find anywhere else: authentic British-Indian flavors. Because let's be honest — chicken tikka masala is practically England's national dish.

  • "Loved the atmosphere from the moment we walked in. Very welcoming. The food had the savory flavor from England but spices from India that dressed it up. Wonderfully done."
