Ambari in München

Not worthy as they projected. It’s a tiny family run place not willing to hire more people to handle crowd or reservations. The food is okay not great. Service is bad because only one guy runs in and out there kitchen , delivers good, takes orders, cleans table etc… if you need peace of mind and wanna feel warm and welcomed then this is not the place for you. May be when they scale a bit and have more people to serve it might be better.

I've been eating there regularly since they opened and I've never been disappointed. This is what really good Indian cuisine should be like. Thanks!

It's a small place but with authentic south Indian cuisine.

The best and rare Karnataka's dishes are served here. Simply superb. Thank you:)

One of the best Indian restaurants

I liked the chow chow bath and boli

A must try for all Karnataka style South Indian dishes, with a variety of tasty options every day making you keep coming back

Amazing home cooked style food.

Very tasty and authentic. The menus are particularly recommended as you can try several different dishes that you don't know from typical Indian restaurants. There is a star deduction for the ambience. Unfortunately it wasn't very clean and a few room dividers would make the room more comfortable.

Ambari is a pleasant place to experience South Indian food. They have fixed timings and a limited menu, so check before you visit as every day have different menu and not like any regular restaurant. I had the South Indian thali, and my husband had the North Indian thali. I felt the South Indian thali was better, while the North Indian had a South Indian touch, which is fine since every restaurant has its specialty. The curd rice was a bit salty, possibly because we arrived right at opening time so the host wanted to sure us without keeping us wait. The ambiance is nice and limited. I look forward to trying their breakfast on Saturday mornings. Thanks for the authentic vegetarian South Indian experience.

Good Indian Vegetarian food 😋 👌

Really authentic place with authentic food. The idly is exceptionally spongy and soft. The masala dosa is crisp yet soft and paired with a very light potato mix. The coconut chutney is spot on, while the gunpowder spice in the Sambar makes it homely. Have been to this place about 2-3 times now, and they never disappoint with the food. The onion dosa/uthappam was a bit spicy for me, owing to the chillies, so make sure to eat enough of the cool coconut chutney with it. The filter coffee lacks a little as far as the authentic flavour goes, but it is by far the best I have come across in Munich. The service was much quicker than expected on the quiet Saturday morning. The new tables are good, but I really missed the classic Indian style wooden tables they had. That gave the place an idyllic nuance which I missed. Overall, this place is a must visit for anyone who loves South Indian food, especially breakfast items. The food is slightly expensive for student budgets, but it more than delivers on the quality and taste. Would definitely visit again!!

Very, very tasty food and everyone is incredibly nice. You feel very welcome.

Not much in menu, but whatever we get that is made fresh and tasty!! Pure vegetarian restaurant!! Liked it!!!

One of my favourite places to have brunch! Great taste, Great atmosphere I highly recommend Mysore masala dosa and Filter coffee. Truly authentic south Indian!

Amazing place with traditional delicious food from South and north of India. The experience is enriched by the hospitality and sweetness of the indian couple which owns the restaurant. I strongly recommend.

Very good South Indian food. Typical Bangalore food. So humble and I definitely would recommend to visit there and try out all the dishes. Feels at home, have been there multiple times and food is exceptionally good. Service is great. Atmosphere is amazing. This should be a must visit for a South Indian food lover.

Update: we visited today again after a gap, the whole environment from the soothing Sanskrit chants in the background to the very delicious & hot homely South Indian breakfast reminded me of being back home in India at my mother‘s place. Thank you again for creating this little piece of home being so far away 🙏 will be back very soon! Forgot to click pictures as we very busy eating. It’s hard to find authentic Indian home style cooked food. Was glad to eat at Ambari where Rashmi & Team not only serve fresh vegetarian delicious food, but also are warm and welcoming. We also order lunch takeaway very frequently. Must try: Gobi Manchurian & Chole bature, apart from her South Indian Menu on Saturday mornings.

A very overrated restaurant in Munich. Food is average, nothing great about it. But what was worse is the Ambience. They don't have the heater on in freezing temperatures and I have never had my food so cold. It was literally freezing in the restaurant. We left within 45mins (including order time) as you could not sit longer. It was also pricey compared to a well set up and tasty restaurant. Don't visit this restaurant if you expect great taste or ambience and in winter never. Because you are sure to catch cold.

Good ambiance Better taste Best service Quantity is bit limited in south Indian thali (If required we can ask for extra rice 😁) Price is ok with the quantity Over all 4+ for five

Reasonable food, bit simple in interior and service

It’s a really cozy place, feels like home 🫶

We went there for breakfast and the food is prepared in Authentic Banglore style. We tried Mysore Marsala dosa and Medu Vada. Both met our expectations. We definitely would come back

Akki rotti and Masala Puri were very good to taste, reminds of Hallimane Malleshwaram. Gobi was a little too crispy for my taste, but taste comes close to a street food Gobi Manchurian. Batura was a bit sour also Channa masala not the best one which I have had. The restaurant is all but a single room which is carefully decorated to give a feel of Karnataka. It offers variety and the options not found in regular Indian restaurants. I would like to visit this place again, although it is a tad expensive and not exactly value for money.

authentic south indian food which is hard to find in munich, also the filter coffee was excellent, recommendation for everyone who seeks the flavour of south india or wants to try something different from standard north indian food

Very authentic South Indian breakfast. More or less same like dharshini hotels in Bangalore.

Authentic South Indian foods. They serve some special menus on Saturday morning which are very delicious. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Saturday morning is always busy so guests need to wait sometimes to have a table.

Ambari Restaurant is a hidden gem, serving authentic and delicious South Indian food. The chef cooks everything from scratch using fresh, high-quality ingredients and traditional recipes. I highly recommend the South Indian Special Thali, which features a variety of dishes from different regions of South India. The Neer Dose and Bisibelebhat are two of my favorites. Reservations are a must, as the chef prepares the food based on the number of reservations. This helps to minimize food waste, and it ensures that every customer gets a fresh, hot meal.

This place is a hidden gem! If you miss authentic South Indian food you should definitely visit Ambari. It’s a small and cosy restaurant with very friendly owners. The food is super delicious and has the authentic taste of South India that you get so rarely in Germany. I especially recommend to go here on Saturday‘s for the breakfast. Medu Vada, Idly and Dosa do not disappoint. Until next time!

I'm absolutely thrilled to share my experience at this delightful Indian restaurant tucked away in Munich. It's a culinary gem that I wholeheartedly believe deserves to be on every food lover's radar. I can't wait to tell you about my visit! From the very moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by an atmosphere that radiated warmth and hospitality. But let's talk about the menu – it's wonderfully uncomplicated, focusing on quality rather than overwhelming variety. As someone who truly appreciates the magic of good food, I couldn't be happier with this approach. It allows each dish to shine and be savored without any distractions. Now, let's get to the dishes themselves – they are nothing short of extraordinary. Each item on the menu reflects a deep commitment to culinary excellence, and I must say, I've savored every single bite. The incredible thing is that the taste and aroma of your food transport me back to India, reminding me of the authentic flavors I experienced there. And now, with all this enthusiasm, here's my humble suggestion, offered with the utmost respect for the outstanding work you're already doing. Picture this: the restaurant becomes even more vibrant and inclusive by adding a few more vegan options. This would not only be an amazing enhancement but also an exciting way to introduce even more people to the captivating world of Indian flavors. In summary, this restaurant is an absolute hidden treasure in Munich's dining scene, and it's not just worth celebrating; it's worth shouting about from the rooftops! Thank you for crafting such a delightful dining experience. My fervent hope is that my review will inspire more fellow food enthusiasts to discover and savor the culinary treasures you have to offer.

“Upon entering this restaurant, my first impression is its decor. Having lived in Germany for the past four years, I often find myself longing for my home country. However, as soon as I step inside this establishment, it feels like I’ve been transported back to my homeland. The restaurant is bustling with people from India, creating an atmosphere that perfectly captures the essence of Asian culture, especially Indian culture. My second impression centers around the food. I dearly miss the diverse street foods of Asia, being originally from Myanmar. In Myanmar, we enjoy a rich variety of dishes influenced by different Asian countries. Indian cuisine, particularly for breakfast, holds a special place in my heart. This restaurant offers a wide selection of Indian dishes and even divides the menu by breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Now, let’s discuss the taste. To be impartial, the flavors are rather average, neither exceptionally remarkable nor disappointingly bad. However, it’s important to acknowledge that this restaurant operates in Germany, Europe. It’s unrealistic to expect the exact flavors you’d find back in your home country. Furthermore, considering the general cost of living in Germany, price comparisons should be left aside. In conclusion, the overall experience is quite satisfying. The staff at this restaurant are notably friendly. I would typically rate it five stars, but to provide a fair assessment, I’ll dock one star. For me, it’s become the ideal place in town to spend my leisure time regularly.”

Einziger Nachteil: Man will zu keinem anderen Inder mehr!

Ich war heute Mittag zum ersten Mal da. War sehr lecker 😋

Cozy little place with yummy Indian food. I had to travel a bit to get to this place but that yummy chutney made it worth it. 👏

The food taste could be improved a lot. I am not satisfied with the quality for the price I paid. I would like to give a constructive feedback to the chef: - Onion dosa was good - Idli was okay - Vada was good but too oily - kesaribath was okay - coffee was not good it could be quality of milk and also the quality of the coffee powder. I hope the chef takes these feedback and improves.

Had perfect south Indian dishes in Ambari. The food tasted so good and delicious. Hats off to the chef.

Very tasty food and amazing service. The restaurant is small and cozy with nice ambiance. The owners will take the order and happy to interact with you. The food, the service and the ambiance, all deserve 5 stars

The best South Indian restaurant in munich! Every meal cooked is home made and with passion! Great people who run the place… its done with passion and love for food…

Taste was good, but the quantity was really scary. Ordered a South Indian meals to only see a plate filled with quantity resembling snacks. But run by good person, service was good. He also offered some additional rice but I hope the owner sees this and seriously considers filling customers stomach up. Cost for one plate of meal was 15,99€ by the way. ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಹೋಟೆಲ್ ಅಂತ ಹೋಗಿದ್ದು ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ dissapointed.

Very nice good, I loved the bisi bele bath and cardamom lassi. The south India thali was also delicious.

Our favorite home style south Indian restaurant in Munich. Never misses to take our guests who visit us.

Authentic South Indian homely cuisine. Loved the masala dosa

First impressions when I entered, unconventional decor and ambiance of dining room of your home. Bangalorean cuisine cooked with an un-restautrent like way. Suggest going on Saturdays morning for a lovely breakfast. Please note that parking is a struggle !

Superb food!! Whatever they serve, is wonderfully cooked, the best being Chats. My 10 yr old daughter said if there's a rating board here, we must give them 5 out of 5.

Authentic south Indian Mysore side food , felt to be in Mysore itself.

After reading all the positive reviews, we went there with high expectations. Unfortunately the food was very bland and the atmosphere wasn't nice either. We tried both friday thalis. Would not recommend.

This place requires you to book the table in advance. We tried Masala dosa on Saturday Morning. It was very tasty. The vada was also good.

Ok food! We went there after seeing many positive reviews.. being a South Indian myself , I had quite a high expectation.. but I was not so satisfied.. We went there at a late hour without reserving beforehand and they had only the thali.. the food tasted so bland.. not even mildly spicy.. and the price was high.. total waste of money for the thali.. Would not recommend if you are okay with absolutely ‘No spice’ food.

Einfaches vegetarisches Restaurant, bei dem wohl indische Hausmannskost geboten wird. Ich hole hier das Essen immer ab. Es wirkt sehr authentisch.

Coole Erfahrung. Wir gingen mit einem Freund, der indisches Essen gut kennt, und er sagte, das Essen sei perfekt. Kleine aber gemütliche Atmosphäre. Auch das Umfeld ist familiär. Am Wochenende ist eine Reservierung erforderlich.

Good but simple restaurant. Typical south Indian food.

Very friendly host, we are served with love and the dishes are prepared with truest passion with an intention to provide the best tasting South Indian food. Food turns out to be delicious and is like home food that we miss from India. Looking forward for more frequent visit.

I always thought tikka masala and butter chicken is all Indian cuisine has to offer. This small family place thought me different. All dishes are vegetarian but AMAZING. Highly recommend

The most authentic Indian food in Munich. It specializes in south Indian recipes that are difficult to find in Germany. Really enjoyed the food, good portion size, calm ambience. Cannot wait to visit again!

Just love the place! Rashmi and Kiran are super warm and friendly people.. who make the food with the same amount of love. The food tastes authentic and reminds me of home.. Love their menu options for the weekend..

Very authentic south Indian food . The food tastes like homemade. Totally loved it . Manchurian is delicious must try ! 💯🔥
