Chopan - near Gasteig in München

The food tasted wonderful, but unfortunately it wasn't a romantic evening for two. The whole time, delivery staff came in and out, right past our table. As a result, it was quite restless and, above all, extremely cold (icy wind outside, the door didn't close properly and was usually left ajar, there is no vestibule). Even with the best food, a cozy evening for two is not possible. The delivery business should somehow be carried out spatially separately. It ruins the visit to the restaurant or is at least very annoying. It's a shame actually.

My husband and I reserved a table at 6:30 p.m., but were there about 10 minutes earlier. At the beginning everything went smoothly and we were absolutely thrilled with the food. We treated ourselves to an aperitif, starter, main course, wine, dessert and tea. The service initially seemed very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately we couldn't maintain this great atmosphere until the end. At around 8:10 p.m. the waitress brought us the bill without being asked and said: “The colleague told me they wanted to pay.” We then said that this wasn't actually the case, but then paid anyway. At around 8:20 p.m. we were asked to finish the tea we had started and to leave as soon as possible because the table was needed for other guests. Since this really spoiled my mood, I told the waitress as I was leaving that you should tell the guests on the phone that the table was only available for a limited time. We could have easily shown up at 6 p.m. The waitress then said that this was normally the case, but we apparently forgot about it. Sure, this can happen. However, I find it very rude to bring the guests the bill without being asked and give a crude excuse, especially when we consumed 117 euros. It's a real shame that the evening had to end like this.

Comfortable atmosphere and welcoming, the service is also very nice. The food was more than 5 stars! I'll be back :-)

Amazing food!!! One of the best places in Munich

The best afghani food I've ever tried! Amazing food and excellent service!

All around a great experience. The food was great and everything around it was great too. Clear recommendations 👍

Great food, great service and absolutely reasonable prices. The city needs restaurants like this!

We had our reservation at 7pm. We had barely finished eating when we were thrown out at 8 p.m. Because a new reservation would have to come. Nobody told us that this was the case in the store. We didn't have time left for drinks afterwards, dessert and coffee. The dishes were tasty, but somehow everything was the same. Chairs and tables very narrow and uncomfortable. We then looked for another restaurant and ended our evening there. I won't go there again and can't recommend Chopan am Gasteig.

We found the restaurant spontaneously and it looked very busy. After a friendly conversation with the service, we spontaneously got a table. Totally transparent that we have the table for 2 hours if that's OK with us. That was completely enough for us. The food was very very very tasty. We went here for traditional dishes and drinks and were completely impressed. We'll definitely be back.

Nothing to say, such a great discovery

Was lucky enough to get a seat and my dinner was excellent. Thank you so much for hosting me tonight on my 5th anniversary which couldn’t be celebrated due to my business trip. Excellent Food & Service!

It is the best restaurant in Munich I had visit. Mr.Arian is very supportive person and I recommend all to ask about him because he’ll make your visit unbelievable.

This variant, which is significantly larger than the original restaurant and is two doors down, is very tastefully furnished. The very narrowly placed tables along the wall will prevent some people from sitting on the bench, which is comfortably furnished with lots of colorful cushions, because they cannot get through. After so many years, the food is still phenomenal, excellently seasoned, a pure joy. (Little warning: It's better not to order the flatbread, it's not Nan, but more like Turkish.) Service super nice and friendly. Absolute and unreserved recommendation, make a reservation urgently!

At 1.73 m, I'm not really a giant, but I still didn't know what to do with my legs at the table for dwarves. Very uncomfortable. The rest was absolutely fine, but far from inspiring!

It's a shame that there was a time limit (7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.) for eating.

Amazing Afghan restaurant just 5 minutes walking from Marienplatz. The food is so tasty and authentic. I highly recommend this place!!

Afghanische Küche kann ich allen empfehlen, die gerne orientalische Gewürze mögen. Uns hat es sehr gut geschmeckt. Geschmortes Lamm, wofür man kein Messer gebraucht hätte, weil es super zart und weich war. Sowie gegrilltes Hähnchen mit Spinatreis. Beides hat top geschmeckt.

Very tasty, freshly cooked Afghan dishes, very friendly service and an appealing ambience. I'll definitely come back. Very crowded, make sure to reserve.

By far one of the best restaurants in Munich. Both vegetarian and meat dishes are extremely tasty. Absolute recommendation 😋

Amazing meals, very different than the "usual" western/asian selection, highly recommended. The seasoning of the meals and the usage of ingredients are indeed exciting it is for sure a great experience and an excellent value price ratio.

Very stylish shop with great food and great service.

I can't understand the other four and five star reviews. The store is mediocre at best. The staff tends to be unfriendly, the atmosphere has a snack bar feel and the food portions are also rather small. All in all, not an experience I would value again...

You can eat very tasty Afghani here. We like to come regularly. Delicious food and oriental ambience.

Nice shop, extremely tasty food, time slot for eating could be a little longer

As an Iranian, this was the first time I've tried Afghan food. It was something between Persian and Indian food. Like Persian food with a kick. The food was very good, the portions aren't too big and the prices are reasonable. The place is small though, it's better to get a reservation.

Simply the best restaurant in Munich.

We managed to get a reservation for 9pm as the restaurant was very busy and now we understand why. The food was phenomenal! I consider myself a bit of a foodie and this was absolutely one of the best meals I have had dining out for a long time. We ordered the dahl with Afghan bread as an appetiser. The dahl was delicious and perfectly spicy. We then had the grilled lamb with flatbread which was perfectly cooked and juicy, the chicken with rice and lentils, sweet and spicy and the house special braised lamb with rice and aubergine. What a delicious dish! The rice took me back to living in Saudi Arabia where kabsa rice is the speciality. It was unbelievably tasty and the best I’ve had since that time. The staff are pleasant and attentive also. Well done to everyone. I would love to come back next time in Munich.

The food is very normal, the Bukhari rice is like Sayadiyah rice, the meat is not delicious at all, the place is cramped, and the service is normal. It may be crowded, so I wouldn’t recommend it.

The restaurant requires reservations, but we entered, thank God.. We ordered lentil soup with a mixture / potato appetizer with amazing yogurt and dill sauce / amazing Bukhari rice with chicken / rice with amazing lamb / plain saffron rice

Not worth going, there are better restaurants

Avoid Avoid ! The waiter will try to sell you buffet menu for group dinners. You will be better off order from the menu.

It is sweet to eat, but it makes you sick, so do not eat too much of it, and it is expensive

Was there yesterday for the second time in a week. Food is great, everyone is friendly and a really good and relaxed atmosphere…. And did I mention the food :) super delicious

Nice food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. Make sure to reserve a table if you’re planning to go.

I had an exceptional dining experience at Chopan Restaurant. The menu offers a delightful range of authentic dishes, and I couldn’t resist trying their signature specialties. Each bite was packed with flavor, showcasing the quality of ingredients and the skill of the chefs. The attention to detail in presentation was impressive! The waiting staff were attentive and knowledgeable, easily guiding me through the menu and suggesting the perfect pairings. I appreciated their efficiency and friendliness, which made the meal even more enjoyable. I left feeling satisfied and excited to return. Highly recommend Chopan Restaurant to anyone looking for a wonderful culinary experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Super delicious food & nice atmosphere! Happy to come back :)

Fantastic food, cozy ambience. Great vegetarian options too, loved the #65.

Meine Frau und ich fahren regelmäßig extra in die Stadt um im Chopan Essen gehen zu gehen. Das Lokal ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und bietet ein schönes Ambiente. Das Essen ist ein Gedicht. Die Kürbis Vorspeise ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Great service and delicious food. We also had the chance to try some afghanisch Grappa with dates. I recommend you to try.

We had reserved the table from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.! It wasn't until around 6 p.m. that we were asked what we would like to drink and eat. At 6:40 p.m. we were asked to pay because the table was supposed to be free at 7 p.m. 2 minutes later they were cleared and it was repeated that the table was reserved from 7 p.m. At 6:45 p.m. we were asked to leave now! Too bad! There was probably no dessert or coffee left!

Great restaurant with very good dishes Highly recommended

Very good Afghan restaurant in Munich. It's rather small, but that makes it all the more comfortable. The decor is very oriental and the service is very friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty, authentic and fresh. The tea is also a pleasure, I recommend the “date tea”! To be on the safe side, you should make a reservation as there is a lot going on here even during the week. I'll definitely come back.

Incredibly hospitable, a dish was recommended to each of us and it was a hit! We felt very comfortable and the food tasted incredibly good! Very clear recommendation

Ganz tolles Ambiente, sehr nette und zuvorkommende Bedienung. Wir haben uns von Anfang an sehr wohl gefühlt und das Essen war eine glatte 1. Dieses Restaurant ist einfach nur nur zu Empfehlen.

Nunca había probado comida afgana antes. No estoy seguro de si esto es representativo, pero nuestras comidas allí eran excelentes. Tuvimos el entrante de calabaza entre nosotros y platos principales separados - ambos con arroz. ¡Todo delicioso! Luchó por terminar. Tomamos una cerveza con comida (y agua). Todo a un precio razonable. Personal bueno/servicial en todo momento. Restaurante pequeño y - simplemente! - se pone bastante ocupado. Gran lugar para la cena.

I can’t really rate it because after arriving to the restaurant about an hour and a half before they are set to close, I was turned away. They said the kitchen was “closed” but before that I could hear and see them going back and forth about whether they wanted to seat another person since it seems they were winding down. Seems one guy said it was fine but the other didn’t want to do they sent a hostess to tell me. Funny enough there were still plenty of other people sitting waiting for their meals still (so the kitchen is not closed?). It’s a shame because I wanted to try this place and only had one opportunity to go.

We were lucky to get a table spontaneously without a reservation. The service was friendly and the food was delicious.

Perfectly home style cooked food Amazing, it’s a have to visit if you are in Munich, I promise that you’ll never forget the marvelous taste of the food.

Nuestro hotel estaba cerca y pasamos a pie camino al casco antiguo. El menú parecía interesante, así que regresamos por la noche. Fue una buena decisión. Personal amable con personalidad. Gran consejo, comida de calidad con una diferencia. El vino más barato era muy bueno también.

Ordered the zafran chalau morgh (chicken w lentil saffron sauce) and do piaza (braised veal w lentil turmeric sauce) on the specialty menu. Absolutely delicious. The chicken was super tender, sauces had a flavorful combination of spices. Family-owned/homey/cozy vibe with fast and super friendly service. Disclaimer, not much experience with Afghan food.

It was a completely successful evening. We tried the food (No. 9, No. 55, No. 20 and No. 68). It was a dream. We enjoyed everything very much. The service was very courteous and friendly

Es war ein rundum gelungener Abend. Das Essen (Nr. 9, Nr. 55, Nr. 20 und Nr. 68) haben wir probiert. Es war ein Traum. Es hat uns alles sehr gut geschmeckt. Der Service war sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich.

The small, simple dining area here belies the big taste and complex flavors waiting for you at this restaurant. The pumpkin appetizer was delicious, and the chicken was tender and juicy. The eggplant was similarly tasty, and the drinks were well-crafted. Definitely worth a visit.

We walked by this restaurant during the day when it was closed and I said immediately that it wasn't for us. However having read reviews and encouraged by the fact it was close to our hotel, we decided to give it a try. We arrived without a booking on a Sunday evening and we were fitted in as long as we could relinquish the table by 8pm ... no problem! The restaurant was buzzing, the smells divine!. Based on a previous review we ordered the pumpkin appetiser to share ... yummy!! Served with afghani bread ... 2 pieves each. Then for mains we tried a chicken dish and a lamb dish ... both with perfectly cooked brown badmati rice with almonds, sultanas, shredded carrot. All washed down with very pleasant red wine by the glass. Before we left the restaurant we made a booking for the next night at 7pm. A Monday night .... restaurant really busy ... food just as good as previous night (same starter to share, chicken dish, veal dish and the chefs special desert to share). If only we weren't returning to the UK on Tuesday we would be back ... thank you for 2 memorable evenings

My dish was number 55 in the menu. It was absolutely delicious. 47 was also beautiful. There was a full house, yet the service was good and fast. Strongly recommended 👌🏻

The visit was on August 24, 2024 in the afternoon An Afghan restaurant a little far from the city center and the tourist area. The food is good and the service is good, but the place is hot for me as a Gulf citizen who is accustomed to air conditioning and the food is very expensive.

Best Afghan restaurant - service is great and friendly, food was the best. "Custom" order for Slow cooked lamb version of no 20. was recommended, and it was amazing. The dessert of Firni was very good. The Yoghurt mango drink was perfect for a hot summer's day. Price was very good as well.

One of the best restaurants in all of Munich, I always enjoy coming here. If you're there for the first time, listen to the staff's recommendations, it's worth it

Very tasty food and the boss is very nice

This was the third time that my table was not reserved (I had called two times to confirm) I was hosting a dinner for family and we were put in the smaller restaurant instead of the main one, as a last resort. Not only is the ambiance very sloppy in the smaller restaurant, the food there is not half as good as the main restaurant, plus the service was awful, the waiter was rude, he was slamming the menus on us, after confirming the order he came back to say that one of the dish ordered was not available, the Chopan Mule had no alcohol in it and later the waiter decided to add on a tip for himself without confirming with me. I am so disappointed I don't think i will ever be returning back to Chopan again.

Nice cozy Afghan with very good cuisine. The lamb skewer was excellent.

Everything was super pleasant, ultra tasty and accommodating! Would come again and again and can only recommend the restaurant!

The vegetarian dishes taste great, but the portions (main course) are too small and the proportion of rice to the side dish is almost 75:25. The vegetable dishes in particular could be filled with more side dishes. It doesn't cost any more than meat and is then acceptable in terms of price/performance ratio. Service good and quick. You sit very closely and your neighbors' conversations are unmistakable. Appropriate music could help. Let's see if I come back

Mega! Super delicious food. We relied on the staff's recommendation - exactly right. Sooo delicious. I don't really like lamb. Had chicken once and lamb once. The chicken was super tasty! But the lamb was a little better. Highly recommended. Main courses around 20,- Staff really nice and accommodating. Actually 6 stars instead of 5 :-)

I had the pleasure of dining with friends at this Afghan restaurant and the experience was truly unique. The warm and welcoming atmosphere immediately made us feel at home. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try different and authentic cuisine in an environment that makes you feel truly welcome. The best Afghan restaurant in Isartor I have ever tried

It is crowded and ordering takes time, but it is very delicious. You should try it

It’s so delicious, this is a must try restaurant. We tried Quabeli Palau with Aubergine curry(49) and Quabeli Palau with grilled lamb and potato curry (54). Firni as dessert is great too. It’s recommended to reserve before hand.

Very well located restaurant with great service and very tasty food 🤗😋highly recommended!!!

It's super nice because it's very cozy and there's a nice atmosphere with good music and everything. The service is the best. Everyone is super nice and happy to make suggestions about what would be recommended. The food that fits these points makes you full and is so beautifully spicy. Only recommended!!

The food is delicious, with the flavor of azure (rice) cardamom and saffron...and while I was eating, I felt like eating in a Gulf restaurant...the service is excellent and the amount of food is appropriate

Excellent food! Was recommended by a taxi driver that picked us up at the train station. We needed to check it out! Did not disappoint!!

Chopan am Gasteig is a charming restaurant and the first Afghan restaurant in Munich. The hosts are extremely friendly and attach great importance to offering authentic and traditional Afghan cuisine. The menu includes dishes made according to Mom's recipe, such as pumpkin in tomato sauce and a kind of lentil stew with dried plums. A visit to Chopan am Gasteig promises a culinary journey to your Afghan homeland.

Well worth it. Afghan cuisine. Excellent!

Very nice waiters and great food, again at any time.

Racism from the restaurant staff towards Arabs and Gulf people in particular. My family and I came and he said I needed a reservation and I accepted the situation, but suddenly a foreigner came with his family without a reservation and let him in. When I inquired from the employee, he said a table had been separated and the restaurant was empty. I wanted to warn that the restaurant staff are racist against the Gulf.

Delicious lamb and chicken dishes . First time having Afghan food would definitely visit again. Service excellent , so flavourful and tasty .

Very good lamb + rice dish, daal (dahl), and a killer pumpkin veggie dish. The pumpkin was the most tastiest. They actually gave it to me for free because they themselves were so hyped up about this pumpkin dish!! Service is really attentive and quick. Overall great place.

Small Afgan restaurant near Deutsches Museum. Excellent food (be warned: plenty of salt). Full bar and draught Bier. Reservation recommend.

Super Kollegium und sehr tolles Ambiente Der Chef ist sehr nett Die Einrichtung und das Essen ist unglaublich Kann man nur weiterempfehlen !!

Delicious Afghani food we had in Munich city, at Chan restaurant . We ordered pumpkin with yogurt for starter the for the main we ordered mix grills , chicken with kabli rice , lamb with kabli rice we really enjoyed the food all the dishes were amazing and so delicious. The restaurant we had dinner at was small and when we asked them is it the only brunch in Munich they informed us that there is another one just next door which is bigger. I recommend any visitor to Munich to go and try it

Delicious food We ate there twice Even those serving the food are respectful and quick in service We went twice without a reservation and were admitted normally But the second time, we waited 5 minutes until they cleaned the table We saw nothing but good from them

I don't have a comparison, but the food here is excellent! After the short waiting time that is typical on Friday evenings, we were able to order quickly. It's a bit tight, but you quickly get used to it. The selection is huge, the taste is great. Even my part-time vegan dining partner was highly satisfied.

very tasty food and nice atmosphere. The portion is really big. I will definitely come back ☺️

Our experience in the Afghan restaurant was very good, we liked the interior design and the food tasted sensational. The service was extremely friendly and the food came quickly. Overall, I would definitely recommend it!

When paying by card, pay close attention to what the waitress types! Seems like a common trick is to hold your hand in front of the reader and then subtract more!! The banknote was pulled out noticeably quickly and there was no big apology when we noticed the fraud and spoke up about it.

Delicious and abundant food. Very good treatment

A nice restaurant, but service was late, there is no parking nearby, and the prices are reasonable

Great place! definitely will come back. The waiters were super nice and friendly, and the food was just amazing 🤩 Thank you

The food is sweet and good, but if you are from the Gulf, your bill is double or three. Pay attention when you open the menu. Take the price as written. Before ordering, because it is normal for two people and three children to be charged 106 euros

Very bad experience, no food at 10:00 a.m. never refused.

Beautiful dinner in Munich in this Afghan restaurant. Nice service, very nice environment and excellent food 👍

The food is always amazing. I personally like to bread and Chicken kebab dishes. We were provided seating even without reservations.

The food is to die for, so delicious 😊

Fantastic food, especially the Aubergine dishes blew me away. I'm so glad I discovered this place!

fantastic food, very friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. perfect place for a date night or else. we will definitely come again!

Nice Ambiance…! Amazing drinks Food is amazing..! Especially grilled chicken with brinjal sauce and kabuli rice. Cardamom tea as final touch was amazing.

Atmosphere is basic but not an issue as the food and beautiful girl serving more than made up for that! I had lamb kebabs with spiced basmati rice. Lamb was tender and very tasty. Filling meal. And the waitress was very patient and helpful.

Very good food, professional service. It's definitely worth coming here.

Unfortunately, it is a racist restaurant with Gulf people, and they are deliberately not seated inside the restaurant, and it gives preference to foreigners, even taking appointments according to their style and mood. Even if you are allowed to enter, it reduces you to serve food and the place you sit in means you are not welcome, and there is a foreign worker standing at the bar, and he is the one who allows you to sit or not. His style is rude and racist towards the Gulf.
