Badshah Restaurant in Hamburg

We went there for dinner last night and had a rather mixed experience. The restrooms were extremely dirty and the faucet didn't work properly. The portions were quite small (the butter chicken had about 7-8 small strips of meat), but they were varied. The owner mistakenly put a plate of garlic naan in front of us and was unsure if it was for us, but ultimately left it. After we took a few pieces, he came back and took the plate away. Overall, though, it tasted good, that's for sure.

A must-try Indian restaurant when visiting Hamburg. Their meals are incredibly priced for the portion size and the quality of ingredients - everything used was fresh! The home cooked style food is well worth all the wait for a table and is super delish. What we tried: bhindi/palak paneer/matar paneer thali, salted lassi, mango lassi, ras malai Ambience: Soothing Punjabi songs playing in the background adds a nice touch. However, it can get crowded and noisy but trust the vibe! No disappointed faces around because the food is on point. Proximity to the Hbf makes it all the more convenient for a quick bite! Although, I'd be wary of the general crowd near the restaurant.

I didn't like it at all. It seems cheap at first, but the portions are ultimately extremely small, and I found the flavor very underwhelming. It was poorly presented. No complex flavors. Nothing. The naan was dry, truly the worst I've ever had. The fried vegetables were also dusty. The atmosphere was also very unpleasant. The restrooms were clean, though. I wouldn't go back.

I found the food to be authentic and with an excellent price-performance ratio

I used to enjoy eating here often, but unfortunately the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly over the last 2-3 years. I have always appreciated the restaurant because you can get very authentic food in good portions at a very reasonable price. The atmosphere was always very simple, the tables were often not completely clean and the shop was very busy, but the food was good. Unfortunately, the food has also gotten worse in recent years. The curries, sauces and dhal have become significantly more watery and at the same time the prices have risen. I know it's difficult to make good food in large portions for a low price. However, the quality of the food and the price-performance ratio were always the distinguishing feature of Badshah. I would even pay more to have the old quality again. Since this is no longer the case, I now prefer to go to other Indian restaurants in the area.

The atmosphere has a bit of a prison feel to it. The food, on the other hand, is really tasty, portions are mediocre, if you are very hungry you have to order portions. But otherwise good food which is the main reason for the visit

You can eat typical Indian food here

Delicious food, Indian vibe and affordable.

Reasonable prices, food is justifying its price. situated in the city centre.

This restaurant is already a little insider tip, but it is no longer a secret. Is it very centrally located? That's why there are many people who. Enjoy the good food and the extensive selection. Is it relatively quick? And as we would say in the dead of a moment? Since the tactics for the food distribution. Relatively fast and therefore perhaps a bit uncomfortable at times. But this one is definitely done by the. Good goods and offset by the good price. Are the employees friendly? Courteous and give the one or two tips that are not necessarily Indian. Oriental food is familiar.

Nice Indian Dhaba style experience right in the middle of Hamburg. Their food is very home-style at economical prices, and they have a big variety of Thalis. I go there, almost every week, to try one of their Thalis. Can totally recommend it!

Excellent Indian food But gets very busy after mid day 10 € for a whole tray of food

I found the ambience a bit uncomfortable, tight seating arrangements. But food was good esp. the sweets.

Food is very good, but service is very very bad

For me it's definitely the best Indian restaurant in Hamburg! The Chilli Chicken Thali paired with the Mango Lassi is the best combination 😉

So it's just good and tasty. As a half-Indian myself, I think it's very good and better than what I and my husband had in Lower Saxony

The family-run restaurant is a must when visiting Hamburg. Very busy at any time of day. Delicious thali and vegetarian dishes

Super tasty and authentic Indian cuisine.

Small restaurant, very cramped and restless. But the food is just delicious. It's not comfortable and the cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. There is no service. Self-service is the order of the day here. But I can still recommend it.

I ordered Lamm thali for 11 euros. Like the Duner restaurant in Turkye, they only accept cash, so I recommend bringing about 20 euros in advance. I didn't feel any of the peculiar smell of lamb. It's not so soft that it feels more like beef tenderloin. There is absolutely no sense of inexperience in handling meat. Yogurt sauce and curry to taste were provided as extras, and the naan and rice were cooked properly. I think the reasonable price, the local atmosphere even though it is busy, and the friendly service of the store staff make it definitely worth a visit. Instead, the surrounding neighborhood will have to be somewhat cautious.

I recently visited this place, and it's quickly become my go-to spot! The blend of Indian flavors is simply outstanding, and while it can get quite crowded, it's definitely worth the wait. The taste of everything I've tried so far has been amazing. I started with the chole bhature, which came with a fresh salad and two fluffy baturas. It wasn’t too spicy, just the right amount of flavor, and absolutely delicious. Next, I tried the egg biryani, and it was spectacular – perfectly spiced and packed with flavor. To complement that, I had a mango lassi, which was sweet and refreshing. I also had the chance to taste palak paneer meal, which included rice, kulcha, salad, curd, and a generous portion of palak paneer with chunky paneer pieces. The dal makhani gravy that came with it was the perfect addition and had a rich, amazing taste. The samosas are great with potato and green peas stuffing accompanied with chole or green chutney. Overall, the food was flavorful, satisfying, and well-portioned. It's a place I definitely recommend for anyone craving tasty Indian food!!

Food bomb but hygiene doesn't look so tasty or the restaurant and location in general And just eating take away there isn't worth it

Price/performance great. Very original.

Don't understand the hype. Completely overwhelmed staff, lots of people. Food is cheap and that's how it tastes. The bread is still the best.

I love this store! The food is simply delicious and at the same time so cheap 🥰 The atmosphere is a bit loud and stressful, so not something you would spend a long or comfortable evening in, but that's completely okay.

We were there today and had a great experience. Their lamm and chicken saag curry is highly recommended. I love how they provide you with side dishes on the same price, especially the nann was super amazing with the food. But the most important thing is that their prices are super convenient and not expensive at all. And if you are planning to go there, definitely try out the Mango Lassi, which is a must have drink.

Great food, authentic restaurant, thank you dear Singh family!

Best budget restaurant in Germany

On the one hand, it's a Hamburg institution, but on the other hand, the description that there's authentic street food here certainly doesn't quite fit anymore. First of all - yes, it tastes good. But it also somehow tastes very German with foreign roots. Something that you can say as a well-traveled person - i.e. a globetrotter. In hardly any other country is foreign cuisine adapted to local tastes as much as in Germany. No matter, be that as it may - located in the somewhat shabby St. Georg, you will ultimately find a pearl with reasonable prices, good taste and colorful furnishings. Order, pay and when the number is called - get up and pick up your dish. Service at the table is rather non-existent here. The dish is served on stainless steel plate trays. 2in1 so to speak! In this respect - don't expect too much originality, then it'll be fine. Jump in people!

Very tasty food at affordable prices. Usually quite busy at peak time.

Very inexpensive and tasty. I really enjoy eating here

A classic. Chole Bhature Thali, a mango lassi and Krish is happy Badshah is definitely the face of Indian food in Hamburg/Germany.

A true “Indian paradise” – if you love chaos, dirt and the loss of all senses! The toilets? An experience in itself - almost like a journey back in time to times past when cleanliness and hygiene were still a foreign word. The food? Well, if you're expecting authentic Indian food, you won't be disappointed here. And for anyone who avoids spicy food, the only guarantee here is that your palate will be overwhelmed by the flood of spices. Some of the tables were dirty and the general condition of the restaurant lacked any awareness of hygiene. So if you value being close to a dusty crystal and bland, unkempt rooms, you'll feel in good hands here. Conclusion: If you don't value hygiene and want to take a break from good taste in a restaurant, you should definitely stop by here. However, if you value a clean ambience and enjoyable food, you should move on.l

Ate Indian for the first time in 12 years. Very exciting combo. Great serving idea. Even though it looks like a lot of food, the portion was quite small (not enough rice). The salty lassi is with cumin.

This place is very good. I've had my fair share of curries and this place is top 5 in Europe, especially when you consider the price. Very nice staff and chilled atmosphere, it went beyond expectations.

Authentic Indian food. Tasty and inexpensive. It's very loud, a bit cramped and restless. The toilet stinks badly, not only when you're in it but also way outside when you're waiting in line to order or sitting at the table next to the entrance to the toilet. I strongly advise against using the toilet. Not even for washing your hands.

Canteen-like small restaurant with an exceptionally good price-performance ratio. Can be very busy at certain peak times.

Very, very good food at a great price! If you want to eat authentic Indian food, you should come here!

so delicious! Spicy and Indian!!

Very tasty and inexpensive dishes, friendly service. It is a fast food restaurant with seating

This Indian restaurant offers an authentic culinary experience at unbeatable prices. The dishes are excellent, especially the fried vegetable starters and the lamb and chicken menu, which I order often. A salty lassi goes perfectly with it, underlining the authenticity of the food. The location of the restaurant is central between Kirchenallee and Hansaplatz, which makes it easily accessible. However, the hygiene standards could be worked on - these, like the dishes, are authentically Indian, which doesn't suit everyone's taste. Nevertheless: For anyone looking for a real Indian taste experience, this restaurant is worth recommending!

Please becareful and beware when a Customer makes a order over the phone. I ordered 50 Samosas but uncooked paid alot for it. It was uncooked and did not taste like the real Indian Samosas less salt and Masalas, never seen Samosa like that in my life. Very disappointed. Will never make an order.

Delicious! I can only recommend it!! The food is good, affordable and the ambience is ok. Many small tables invite you to eat in the usually full restaurant. I really like the small baked cauliflower. The chicken tikka thali is one of my favorite dishes. If you want authentic Indian food, this is the right place for you! The people in service are always very nice. So if you're ever near Hamburg Central Station, take cash with you and stop by here. I can highly recommend it.

I bought 1kg Jalebi Today it's taste is like made with Süßstoff, I m disappointed 😔

I love to eat food at Badshah as sometimes I crave for Indian spices and it's tastes, So I love to spend my money on something worth, and yes it's all dishes are worth waiting and spending money

This is not exactly a classic restaurant. The atmosphere is a bit snack bar-like, you won't find a romantic place in a quiet atmosphere here, but the food is even better!!! I haven't eaten something so delicious and authentic in a long time 😊

Get 5 stars straight away from me, if you want traditional and original Indian cuisine, this is the place for you. The atmosphere is active and lively. And the food is really very good. The price is also very reasonable for the food you get. For these reasons, I highly recommend eating here. Since there is little to no parking space in Steindamm, you should use public transport here.

when ever i visit the hamburg .i always eat food their same taste like india and not expensive .

Self-service, entrance door was open, so very cold. Food perfect. Just like in India...

I had an amazing experience at badshah restaurant last night.

Delicious! Now this restaurant is my favourite.

Really good for Indian services

I feel very amazing for your great and heartly services

It is a very small but nice restaurant near the main train station. If you're looking for a quick and tasty meal that's also cheap, this is the place for you. I can only recommend it

So yummy and so loci! Love the food and the price is more than fair!

The best Indian in Hamburg, clearly! Authentic, inexpensive and so delicious!

Delicious, cheap, quick and big portions. Its an order at the counter style so no service which is primarily a minus because of dirty tables but otherwise all good. Really delicious

unfortunately unhygienic. I often had hair and once had a wasp in my food...

Super small, super full, super delicious!!! You should definitely try it if you like Indian food.

We were there the evening before around 5 p.m. and all the tables were occupied, it was busy. We looked around the narrow corridor for a bit and a table became available where we could sit down. The patience paid off, the food tasted incredibly good, the prices were reasonable and the quantities were just right. It tastes good and has a variety of spices. Rice, a small salad and 2 pieces of naan bread were included. We only had to wait about 10-15 minutes after ordering. Despite self-service, I give 5 stars for the service because you know that when you come here and it was quick and well organized. I only have to deduct 2 stars for the ambience because it is narrow and busy. But that doesn't matter to us, if there were fewer tables we wouldn't have gotten one.

Authentic, fast, delicious. It's all pretty straightforward, you order at the counter, get a number and look for a table. The food is served as is often the case in India and Asia. The samosas and okra vegetables are vegetarian, and the butter chicken was also good. There's also naan and rice for under €10. Will go again.

The restaurant is very small and is always full, so you have to be quick to get a seat. The food is very delicious and my Indian friends say they are original. My recommendation is that you order Jalfrazie, which is very good, there is hardly any difference between chicken and lamb, so I would go for the cheapest, meaning chicken. There is hardly any service as you have to order at the counter, pick up the food and then pay at the counter.

One of the best authentic Indian restaurants in Hamburg, I would definitely recommend it :)

The Badshah Restaurant is a real highlight for lovers of Indian cuisine! The authentic dishes taste like in India, accompanied by a charming Indian ambience and the typical bustling atmosphere. The small space and the constant hustle and bustle add to the authentic feel. If you're looking for real Indian food, you've come to the right place - highly recommended!

Very tasty authentic food at a low price. Absolutely fair. It was pretty busy, but luckily we managed to get a spot. Self-service. Negative point: Unfortunately, both waitresses at the counter were incredibly unfriendly, something I've rarely experienced.

Best butter, chicken in the world even better than in India

Didn't pack the desert and sides that were ordered. Happened twice where they didn't pack the desert after I paid for it

Great food at a reasonable price 🫶

Simple place, Best food and reasonable rate. Awesome.

Very tasty Indian food at a fair price

The food is incredibly delicious! Really an insider tip!

It is a shame that this place doesn't have owners, who would renovate it, because the food is excellent. Their Palak Paneer dish is my favorite, and the mango lassi is yummy. Please clean the sitting area up and find a better solution at the food counter and for the restroom, dear Badshah owners!!

Loyal customer for more than 25 years now 🤩 Awesome choice of veg and non-veg and OMG the sweets! And thanks a lot for adding super delicious Kadhi Chawal to the menu!

Taste was good and not expensive

One of the best Indian Restaurant in Hamburg. The food is very good and the most autenthic, there are plentumy of vegetarian options. The sweets are also good, I suggest laddoo and gulab jamon, these are just great. Unfortunately for me the restaurant is always full at any hour, so there is the possibility that you have to wait to get the table, but they work really fast, so the waiting time will not take too much. I super suggest this restaurant 🤗

Authentic Indian imbiss.. it is always full, but they serve quickly.. for €10 you eat and drink a mango Lassii.. highly recommended.

Ambiance and service needs improvements. The food is super tasty and you'll get full for little money

Cheap , very crowded. Self service but food was ok.

Unhygienic and not worth the price

Love this place. Food and drinks are always delicious and service is quick. I have been here a few times and will continue to be a customer. Cash only.

It is a snack-like restaurant. It has something of a cantonal atmosphere. You order and pay directly at the cash register, get a beeper and can pick up your food when it's your turn. A bit like being in prison, the tablet is made of stainless steel, with lots of hollows for feasting. The taste is amazing! It's like a little trip to India. I can only recommend it if you want to eat authentically. Price-performance top. 👍

Cheap, and great Indian food. Only cash is a bit annoying but meh

It's good and cheap so I like it because I am a student. Lassi is not like punjab so hopefully they improve it.

Quick snack with good portions. Very tasty food! Self-service. Ambience a little better than a snack bar but not as cozy as in a restaurant. Good selection! Great price-performance ratio.

Rather simple restaurant with no real service. But that doesn't detract from the quality of the food, everything I've tried so far has been good and absolutely inexpensive - so if you have no problem picking up your own food from the counter and like to sit in a crowd or buy something to take away, this is the place for you in good hands. The many Asian customers speak for themselves... So full ***** stars for the food, the ambience can be improved.

Best and most authentic Indian food in HH

Indian restaurant Super good good! Self service Very inexpensive

For me the best Indian restaurant in Hamburg. And the best samosas ever

I love this place. They have very delicious food and I went there already a few times.

Very tasty and cheap food, self-service was super easy and the colleague at the checkout was really nice too. I'd love to come back.

No.1 Indian restaurant in Hamburg

Must try for anyone looking for flavourful Indian food in Hamburg at amazingly budget-friendly prices!

Everything is cafeteria style, but it tastes very good

It has to be the best and most authentic Indian restaurant I have been to in Germany. A 5 minute walk from Hamburg HBF. The food is delicious, staff is friendly and the prices are more than fair. It's value for money. I had Chole Bhature, Chole with Naan and Mango Lassi. They also have a wide variety of sweets.

I had their thali, which was filling, delicious, and great value for money. The portion sizes are generous, the service is unfussy yet prompt. Prices are approx €10 for an average main meal. The rich flavours and affordable prices make it a fantastic spot for Indian cuisine. Their thali is perfect for trying a bit of everything, offering a great introduction to Indian flavours in Germany.

This small and well-attended snack bar is my favorite place for Indian food in Hamburg, a small idyll in an unfortunately very disadvantaged part of the city. The food comes on these little metal trays that are reminiscent of an American prison. Is that how they serve it in India? Definitely a striking feature for this restaurant, they are definitely practical. Because I love eating here so much, I ordered two portions, one of classic butter chicken and one of okra curry, simply heavenly. Mango lassi to cool down. The best way to pass the time when you are waiting for your train near the train station.

The food tasted good, but the service was so bad that we don't want to come back. No hello at the counter but annoyed looks. The chefs don't speak German, so no information about ingredients. The shop is completely run down.

Great food, you feel like you're in India. Very authentic. Again and again!

I ordered takeaway food, but unfortunately it was packaged so poorly that everything spilled out. All the sauce was in the bag - it's really a shame when you don't get any of the food and also the money!

North Indian foods are very delicious. Mango lassi and chole bhatire are a must eat foods. Recommendable 💫
