A Complimentary Appetiser To Celebrate 15 Years
Fifteen years in Dubai’s restaurant scene is no small achievement — and The Monk is celebrating the milestone by treating its customers.
Until 15 June, every guest who orders a main course will receive a complimentary chef-selected appetiser, giving diners the perfect excuse to revisit one of Dubai’s most loved Indo-Chinese restaurants or discover it for the very first time.
The offer is available across all five locations, including the brand-new Business Bay branch, and applies to dine-in, takeaway and delivery orders.
The Monk Has Officially Arrived In Business Bay
Coinciding with its 15th anniversary celebrations, The Monk has opened its fifth UAE location in Business Bay.
For a restaurant that started in Dubai back in 2011, the new opening feels like a significant milestone. What began as a niche dining concept has grown into one of the city’s most recognised Indo-Chinese brands, with a loyal following built around its bold flavours and consistently popular menu.
The new location joins existing branches in Arjan, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Karama and Meadows, making it easier than ever for fans to get their fix.

The Cuisine Dubai Fell In Love With
For those unfamiliar with Indo-Chinese cuisine, think of it as the perfect meeting point between Chinese cooking techniques and Indian flavours.
The result is a menu packed with crowd favourites such as Hakka noodles, chilli chicken and Manchurian dishes — bold, comforting flavours that have earned a cult following across Dubai over the past decade and a half.
It’s the kind of food that’s made for sharing, and once you’ve tried it, it’s easy to understand why so many people keep coming back.

The Gulf Buzz Take
Dubai’s food scene is constantly evolving, but few restaurants manage to stay relevant for 15 years while continuing to grow.
The Monk has done exactly that, and the combination of a brand-new Business Bay location and a complimentary appetiser offer makes now the perfect time to see what all the fuss is about.
If Indo-Chinese isn’t already on your regular dining rotation, this might be your sign to change that.
