3 Monkeys is run by chef and proprietor Kuldeep Singh, of Mela Group and Chowki fame.

On entering the restaurant, there is a dramatic bridge leading from the door to the reception desk into a lively, airy dining area dominated by a massive open kitchen.

3 Monkey´s presents a selection of menus which feature dishes from around the Indian subcontinent, from the Himalayan foothills to the Southern coast, each dish reflecting the aromas, colours and flavours typical of the area. The dishes are created by the Mela Group´s renowned chefs, all of whom are well versed in the different techniques of the Indian kitchen, using the very finest ingredients.

The 3 Monkeys is an exceptional venue, the most romantic curry house in town, and one of South London´s local hotspots!
