Chopan Schwabing in München

Great food, we've never had Afghan cuisine before and were pleasantly surprised :)

Super delicious food Friendly generous host Amazing atmosphere Best food in Munich

Die Qualität der Gerichte war sehr gut, der Service zuvorkommend und die Einrichtung authentisch. Wir waren zu viert zum Abendessen dort und haben für jeden Geschmack die passenden Gerichte gefunden. Die Portionen sind gut dimensioniert, so dass man zum Hauptgericht entweder eine Vorspeise oder ein Dessert wählen sollte. Drei Gänge sind zu mächtig für normale Esser.

Let me introduce the Afghan food this time - CHOPAN. It has three branches in Munich. We went to Schwabing near the English Garden. After eating, there was a YOLE GELATO, which cost 2 euros a ball. It is also good as an after-dinner dessert! If you are willing to try spices and beef and mutton, but feel that Indian food is a bit heavy, then Afghan food is an excellent choice. We ordered a beef pilaf. The steamed rice was filled with various spices, raisins, and carrots. It was quite amazing! The other was a grilled chicken pilaf. The grilled eggplant was a side dish. It tasted rotten and was also very delicious! During dinner, 2 people have 2 meals, 2 glasses of wine and 1 glass of specialty drink Chopan Wasser. Including the tip, it is 70 euros. I think it is worth it to have a delicious Afghan meal at this price!

Eat often there Delicious food and nice Service with Kind Staff A little dark in evenings more Light would be necessary then. Strongly recommended

Ich bin immer sehr zufrieden mit dem Service und der Auswahl der Gerichte. ich nehme meistens das gegrillte Lamm und bin immer begeistert. Jetzt habe ich auch mal die vegetarischen Gerichte probiert und ich bin begeistert. Kann ich nur empfehlen. Ich freue mich schon auf den nächsten Besuch. Viele Grüsse an das Team von Barbara und Ellen

Our first time trying Afghan cuisine and it was delicious. Definitely recommended!

Small and well-kept environment, attentive and very kind service. 2 of us went on Saturday night without booking and they managed to seat us quickly anyway. Amazing food. In one of the two rooms it is not possible to pay by card, but we were warned of this before being seated. I would definitely recommend to everyone and will happily return.

Went to this cozy restaurant for the first time 4 years ago. We were thrilled back then! Last night we were there again and it was just perfect! Thank you!

We waited too long for the food but it was very good. Definitely worth a visit. I especially recommend lamb meat, soft and tender. We went a bit late, so we found a place without reservation. Also its only cash.

Sehr leckere abwechslungsreiche Küche! Wir hatten vegetarische Gerichte und waren begeistert. Das Personal war sehr nett und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis super.

Brilliant food, the best of the “Chopans” in Munich. The service can certainly be improved, but the delicious food and friendliness make it impossible to ignore a lot.

Würde ich gefragt werden, wie oft ich im Chopan Schwabing gespeist habe, könnte ich es nur mit "sehr oft und immer wieder gerne" beantworten. Die Speisen köstlich, der Service sensationell und das Ambiente ein Hauch von 1001 Nacht gemischt mit der Moderne. Meine Top-Empfehlung: Chopan Schwabing selbst erleben.

One of the worst Food experience I hat with any Afghan Restaurant, first it took long time to get Our Food, then it was cold, and at the end my cousin got food poisoning after that, he vomited 3 times, will never recommend anyone

Sehr zu empfehlen! Service , Küche und Preis / Leistung für diese top Qualität völlig gerechtfertigt! Ein Gaumenschmaus! Reservierung wird empfohlen! Wir waren sicher nicht das letzte mal hier! Dankeschön

Very tasty food and great service. We can only recommend it 👍

Definitely the best meal I had during my trip to Munich. The lamb was beautifully tender and the spinach rice was delicious. The service was attentive and helpful. Absolutely add it to your list if you’re planning to visit the city.

Super nice staff!! So if you're a meat lover, you definitely have to go there. It just tastes really delicious.

The Chopan has an open, warm way of welcoming guests. The cuisine is fine, varied and aromatic. The team is extremely friendly. The ambience and mood are cozy. Although Chopan has expanded to include more places, I recommend making reservations in advance. In the evening it is usually busy.

I ordered the 27th “Quabeli Palau Ba Morgh” and I can say it was one of the tastiest dishes I have ever eaten in my life!! Please open a store in Berlin. :)

I was in this restaurant for the first time yesterday! The food took a really long time to be brought to us, but it tasted incredibly delicious! A 10 out of 10! You're happy to tolerate the long waiting time ;)! As a starter we had pumpkin, which was really convincing as a vegetarian dish! It's also a "grandma dish", it can only taste good ;)! For the main course my friend had a chicken dish which tasted incredible! The chicken had a really delicious smoky aroma and was very spicy! Yummy! My dish with minced meat, coriander, yoghurt, etc. (specialties side) was also HIGHLY recommended! Really delicious!!! The reason I only give 4 stars is, on the one hand, the service, which either wasn't in the restaurant at all, sat bored at the free tables with cell phones or always told us that he would come to us straight away. On the other hand, the drinks (spritz) are watered down, so you hardly taste any alcohol and the fact that you CAN'T PAY WITH A CARD is really very strange! You are not informed of this at the beginning! Conclusion: I would definitely go there again for the food as it was really EXTREMELY tasty, but the service should be more attentive, e.g. for drink orders and the behavior should change a lot towards the customers! If you don't feel like doing the job, it's better to do something else professionally. Service requires passion!

Amazing amazing amazing food. I can not rave more about how delicious this food is. From the beef to the lamb to the chicken, everything is super tender and delicious. Every dish is filled with flavor from the spices and sauces provided. Best food in Munich by a mile and is a must visit if you are in town.

The food and service were absolutely top class. Happy to come back!

The food and the whole experience were superb! We got the dishes that the staff recommended based on our meat preference and all of them were excellent. The portions are quite generous.

The neighborhood being pleasant, we preferred to dine outside on the terrace overlooking the street because the room was stuffy and not sufficiently lit for my taste. The cuisine was good and reminiscent of Indian flavors. Impersonal, disjointed and slow service. However, we had a good time.

Insanely delicious authentic food. I became an absolute fan of Afghan cuisine because of Chopan. I had dish number 77. The lamb and rice are just incredibly delicious. I am someone who can eat a lot and when I left feedback at the end that the portion was unfortunately a little smaller, I immediately gave a second helping for free, as you don't want guests to go home full. I've never experienced anything like that before. Very very accommodating! Absolute recommendation.

Super delicious, one of my favorite shops in Munich!

Accueil très sympathique, cuisine raffinée et originale. Terrasse bien agréable. Des options végétariennes tout aussi délicieuses.

Delicious traditional Afghan food. Wonderful service. We ordered what our friendly waiter recommended and were not disappointed.

Chopan has everything I look for in a restaurant: the food is authentic and very tasty, the price is right and the people are great. Come by - never disappointed Chopan has everything I need from a restaurant: fantastic food, fair price and very nice people working there. Drop in there - it won't let you down Chopan tiene todo lo que busco en un restaurante: comida ricaaaa, price justo y un equipo majisimo. Pasaros - no defrauda

Amazing food, High quality, cooked perfectly, big portions and great atmosphere. I will come back for sure!

Amazing food, good service and reasonable prices . Would highly recommend

I really liked the Afghan restaurant ‘Chopan’ on Münchner Freiheit. The atmosphere is pleasant and cozy. The location is very convenient (at Münchner Freiheit) as it is easy to get to. The food was very tasty and the portions were large. Overall a nice place for a good meal.

I have to be very surprised at all the “good” reviews. Food was mediocre. Someone who comes from there (Afghanistan), like me, and knows the cuisine very well will not be impressed here. You can argue about taste, but not about quality. Horrible prices! I had a dish that had to be served with fresh bread (the house specialty) and was given dried wraps for 22 euros, an indictment. Starter oversalted, main course way too greasy! I used to enjoy eating here, but today was definitely the last time! There are 100 times better afg restaurants in Munich!

According to Tripadvisor this should be among the best ethnic restaurants in Munich. The Schwabing neighborhood is charming and full of nice places to eat and this appears to be the place to be. We had reserved a table outside because in August without ac there was no way yo dine inside. We were brought German menus (thanks google translate) and picked a veal-based and a veggie main course. They were both quite bland and despite being among the most expensive courses, far from abundant. The quality of the overcooked meat wasn’t great. Service was quite basic for us, a table by our side was abandoned for twenty minutes with their menus and decided to leave. I can’t say the food was not good, but easily forgettable, we won’t be back.

Very tasty Afghan specialities. The restaurant offers a fascinating insight into the cuisine of Afghanistan with friendly service

Wirklich exzellentes Essen, bestes Lamm das ich je gegessen habe. Super service, freundlich, zuvorkommend und tolle Atmosphäre

The taste is delicious and the service is excellent. The staff was cheerful and helpful, especially Suleiman

Immer wieder schön hier zu Essen! Hervorragende Gastgeber, die Qualität vom Essen ist 1A und auch die Möglichkeit draußen zu sitzen, schätzen wir sehr! Wir haben hier schon viele schöne Abende verbracht:)

Unpleasant experience, the service was awful and Cash only.

When I arrived at the restaurant at 6 pm, the employee told me: Are you a reservation? If you do not reserve, you can sit, but you must pay in cash. Payment must be made in cash only.

Great dishes and nice service, when it's busy it sometimes takes a while but very, very tasty and something special.

I honestly can't understand all the good reviews. The food isn't bad, but it's not really anything special. The service is particularly...particularly bad. Had to wait 30 minutes to order, it wasn't even full. Then wait over an hour between the starter and the main course. Then another 20 minutes to even be able to order the bill, which we then waited almost 30 minutes for...

The restaurant is delicious. The rice with chickpeas is excellent. It is worth trying. Reservations are required. The staff are nice

Very good food and friendly staff. Make sure to reserve a table

Unique food and experience. We had a great evening

Absolutely amazing food. We loved this place. Highly recommended.

One star deducted because you can't pay by card. But otherwise everything was fine. We had number 27 with the eggplant side dish and the spinach dish (30 or 35, unfortunately forgot) with the spinach side dish - it was so delicious. We were thrilled. I hate eggplant and even I thought this was delicious. We will definitely come back!!!

I ate here for my birthday and both food and service was incredible! The only negative thing was the wine, not so tasty, so stick to the Afghan cuisine and drinks! I recommend anything containing the grilled lamb and eggplant, exquisite!

Food great! Service more than hospitable and accommodating. For me personally the most authentic Afghan restaurant in Munich. I like coming here to eat.

Awesome.delicious.clean.perfect I ate starter with eggplant it was amazing and fantastic.

They serve exactly authentic Afghan food. I’ve visited several times. Every time the food is excellent as well as the quality. This time I ordered a soup and grilled chicken and both were delicious.The portions are very generous and service was super nice. Be aware, this place takes CASH only. The restaurant always busy, so make a reservation in advance to make sure there is a table for you.

I went for dinner, nothing special. In 2024, the possibility of paying by card should also be given by law. I took one of their specialties n. 27, the meat tasted of nothing and the rest was mediocre. A pistachio Baklava served on a soup bowl, and I didn't know how to interpret it... to give you an idea, it was like a tiramisu with cream... nothing. At the time of the bill we discover that they only accept cash and we are told again that they had informed us, I mean every 2 meters there is a restaurant in those parts if it had been like this we would never have sat down. My boyfriend pays the amount due and we wait for the rest which is given to us only when we call him back. Not only payment in cash, but they also take the tip themselves.

It is a very fun restaurant with a variety of Afghan dishes, including many vegan/vegetarian options.

Absolutely phenomenal Afghan food, perfect example how simple food can be so textured with so many layers of taste.

Delicious food, reasonably priced.

One of the best restaurants I have tried from Zeina Jinah twice and it is worth it 😋💖 Prices are medium to high Quality is a delicious imagination The owner of the restaurant is very courteous and tasteful 🤙🏻

A very nice, nice and interesting restaurant in the middle of Schwabing with an excellent price-performance ratio and very nice staff. The food is traditional Afghan, but the menu also offers dishes from Iranian and Pakistani cuisine, either way very tasty, as you only know from high-quality restaurants like these. There was a gentleman about 50 years old sitting next to us who looked a bit sad because he had been rejected by a lady. Since he looked wealthy, I think he eats here often. However, the gentleman offered a waiter a tip of 50 euros (probably because of his sadness, which he wanted to put away), but the young waiter refused the money and called the restaurant owner, who replied to the gentleman who had already offered him the tip several times. In the end, the 50 euros were not accepted because they did not want to benefit from their situation. This action alone shows the incredible humility of the employees, who always offer good service with a smile on their face. With such staff I would like to come back again.

The food is bombastic. The service is nice and OK. It can happen that you are overlooked. It's good to sit outside, but it's very tight inside.

Ordered food did not arrive after 1h 30m and no-one answers the phone. Edit: They tried to delete this negative review via an attorney but I provided my order details and communication as proof to keep this online.

I've tried so many Afghan restaurant over the years. This was the best Afghan food I have had out of Afghanistan, truly felt like I was back in Kabul. Service super lovely and friendly on top of the amazing atmosphere and delicious bolani, Quabeli Palau, spinach and eggplants!

Probably the best lamb skewer I ever had. The rest of the food was excellent as well

The food was delicious but the restaurant is unfortunately very small and therefore noisy.

One of my worst dining experiences. We entered the restaurant at the time of our reservation and had to wait 10-15 minutes just to get the table. The space was very busy. We then proceeded to order four dishes, two beers and a dough. The drinks arrived rather fast, the dough was spilled and instead of replacing it, it was watered down to fill the glass, so it tasted pretty bad. After almost one hour of waiting we got our dishes, well, only two of them, and we were very clear while ordering. The waiter said that the grill was closed, so the one of the dishes needed to be changed. We changed the dish. After 10 minutes the waiter comes back and informs us that the kitchen is closed. We had to share the dishes already ordered. Fun thing is that even after about 20 min of this notice other people were getting their orders, even the grilled ones, so I guess the kitchen was actually open, they simply didn't bother to even try to fix the situation. Initially we were informed that the "rice dishes" we received are on the house, but when paying only the drinks were offered to make up for the mistakes, which was actually less than the other option. At that point I didn't even bother to ask explanation and just paid to get over with it. This is my first and last time visiting the restaurant in Schwabing, as in the Gasteig one I've never had such problems.

Best afghan restaurant tried so far. We went for menu 54 (lamb combined with an afghan spinach side dish)and 47 (veal combined with an eggplant with cream side dish). All perfect. Deserve its 5 stars. You have to reserve a table as it seems to be full at all times.

It was like a taste explosion in my mouth; I have rarely eaten Afghan food so well. Highly Recommended!!.

Chopan Schwabing is an Afghan restaurant near Münchner Freiheit. Food: There is a large selection of vegetarian dishes and meat dishes. Our starters and main courses were all outstanding, Afghan cuisine is really different from other Middle Eastern cuisines. Service: Extremely courteous and fast service, our drinks and food were served quickly. Ambience: There are several rooms: While the room for spontaneous visits is a bit more sparse, the room for reservations is much more pleasant and really cozy. Therefore, reservations should definitely be made.

Lovely restaurant with incredibly tasty Afghan cuisine. The staff and the manager were very nice and attentive.

Would give this place 6 stars if I could. Absolutely my favorite restaurant on the planet.

Really delicious! The dishes have something special and I have never eaten them before, absolutely recommended!

We were there without a reservation at around 6 p.m. The staff kindly welcomed us and offered a table for 4 people. We all ordered Quabeli Palau with lamb with appetizer and sodas. The starter with eggplant was very tasty and we really enjoyed the Quabeli. The toilet is decorated in an oriental style and it is just very beautiful. I would definitely recommend the restaurant.

Hammer for groups. It's worth making a reservation, top service, top food. Definitely come here again.

Visited during peak hours and was impressed by the delicious and plentiful food, especially the mango yogurt. However, the place was loud, and service was slow, likely due to the crowd. Worth a visit for the food, but be prepared for some noise and a wait.

The food is at star level - nothing more needs to be said

I had been there again for a year and it almost hit me. The restaurant has increased its prices by a whopping 30%, while reducing the portions. The ambience now resembles that of a snack bar, as so many tables have been squeezed in that you are almost sitting shoulder to shoulder with the people sitting next to you. This makes it very loud and uncomfortable. After 20 minutes we were served for the first time, but then at 8.15 p.m. the bill was placed on the table without being asked (cash payment only). And that even though half the restaurant was empty. The food was good, but was lacking. It's a shame, it used to be the best Afghan restaurant in Munich.

Food normal, waiting time too long. Waited almost an hour. Juicy prices, the starter took a long time. First we had to make keklamiere.

Wonderful, great food, intimate experience, good value for money

Came here for take-out. CASH ONLY Taste was good, service was nice. However, 26€ for a tiny portion, come on! You‘ll get better value for money basically anywhere else.

As always, pretty perfect...but now very expensive

Best Afghan food in Munich!!! There's nothing more to say about it

Delicious food and good size portions. Would have preferred if asked the grade of spyciness and would have ordered something milder. Bit in general lively food and place.

Taste explosion :-) super good!

The food is really exceptionally good and the service is very quick. Unfortunately, the tables are far too close together and the noise in the restaurant is unbearable. We could only hold a conversation with difficulty. Otherwise we would have liked to stay longer.

Luckily we had a reservation (Saturday evening) because it was (justifiably) very well attended. There is a great selection of food, the food was prepared quickly and served hot, and it was simply delicious. Highly recommended store :)

Very tasty food, but service unfortunately not that good. We made a reservation, but there was still a place missing, it was very dark, and the fake candles on the table didn't help. And the two of them weren't very attentive, we often had to ask if we could order something else and then we were told we had to leave because the table was reserved, but when we asked, it wasn't reserved after all. In addition, paying in cash is also very unfavorable given the prices, and we didn't know where the nearest ATM was either.

Wir waren zu zweit da und waren in Summe sehr zufrieden. Als Vorspeise hatte ich eine Suppe mit Nudeln und Hühnerfleisch, die geschmacklich sehr gut und reichlich war. Als Hauptgericht dann 2 x Kalbfleisch, die 42 und die 23 (Spezialität des Lokals) - beides auch geschmacklich sehr gut und große Portionen. Die Karte ist sehr umfangreich, der Service ok und Preis-Leistung für die Lage in Schwabing auch gut. Da muss man mal afghanisch gegessen haben, das ist sehr gut.

Nice small corner with a cozy vibe and formidable food! I didn't know Afghan cuisine would be so good.

Unglaublich leckere und interessantes Essen! Für mich war die Afghanische Küche neu und ich war überrascht und begeistert! Super Service! Ich komme sicher wieder! Unbedingt Reservieren! Danke für den tollen Abend!

Ein echtes Geschmackserlebnis in gutem Ambiente und mit klasse Service! Der Besitzer ist sehr herzlich und ein echter Gastgeber, dem es spürbar am Herzen liegt, dass es dem Gast an nichts fehlt. Wir hatten eine Variation quer durch die Karte bestehend aus verschiedenen super leckeren Speisen! Gerne jederzeit wieder ... eine absolute Empfehlung!

I have to say, most food options seem and taste actually good and are rather sophisticated. However i had ‘narendj palau’ which was just plain rice, sweet tomato sauce and some lamb meat. It was just bland, without any identity and came in a small portion. I paid 24eur for this plate. It was extra disappointing after seeing and tasting my friends’ plates which were amazing. To the owners: you need to either rework this plate or decrease the price to around 15-17eur, which can be fair given there’s lamb meat( which is the only thing worthy of eating in this dish at the moment.)

Das Essen mega gut nette bedinung .

Ooooh, was für ein leckeres Essen. 🙏 Ich wohne direkt um die Ecke und wurde einfach noch nie enttäuscht. Im Gegenteil, jedes Mal ein Highlight. Auch für Vegetarier geeignet. Alle Gäste denen ich mit Chopan die afghanische Küche eröffnet habe, sind begeistert 🤩

Das Essen ist einfach himmlisch. Geschmacklich ganz klar das beste, was München zu bieten hat. Vor allem das gegrillte Hühnchen, besser geht es einfach nicht! Mein Mann und ich kommen regelmäßig und immer wieder schmeckt es unwahrscheinlich gut. Aber: Bitte kümmert euch um eine Kartenzahlungsmöglichkeit!

Wir hatten gestern einen tollen Abend bei euch! Es war super, das ihr für uns einfach verschiedene Gerichte auf dem Tisch gestellt habt, sodass alle von allem probieren konnten. der Mix aus verschiedenen Fleisch mit Reis und Gewürzen und Beilagen und Schärfen war sehr gelungen und es war für jeden etwas dabei. Sehr herzlich wurden wir bedient. Wir kommen gerne wieder und ich kann es jedem empfehlen der hier mit Gruppen um die 10 Personen Essen gehen möchte.

Absolutely tasty Afghan food. What a treat! The rice and the veggie dishes were fab. Service was top and efficient. Thanks

Alles gut soweit. Es wird nur dringend empfohlen, im Voraus zu reservieren, da man sonst keinen Platz bekommt. Desweiteren muss man berücksichtigen, dass die Zeit zum Essen beschränkt ist.

Hervorragendes Essen Aber wieso steht in Maps dass Kartenzahlung geht wenn das nicht der Fall ist? Keine Kartenzahlung anzubieten, ist auch nicht verständlich

Wahnsinnig leckeres Essen. Eine wahre Geschmacksexplosion. Der Service war ebenfalls super freundlich. Preis-Leistung ist für die Qualität absolut gerechtfertigt. Große Empfehlung!

Excellent food and service. What is ate there , i never tasted anywhere else in my life . The charcoal grilled lamb was my favorite and the rice that goes with it was so fragrant. It’s worth the try

Mi primera experiencia con la cómoda afgana y me ha encantado. Tienes que reservar con antelación.
