Wonderful evening. Super friendly staff. Delicious food. Fast. Reasonable price. Recommend!!

Very friendly and attentive service. Cozy, chic atmosphere. Food very very tasty. Price-performance is also great! Completely satisfied.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolute gem of an Indian restaurant in Munich! The food was nothing short of spectacular—each dish bursting with authentic flavors. The Chicken Tikka Masala was rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced, while the Kulcha was soft, fluffy, and paired beautifully with the curries. To top it off, the Gajar Halwa was an absolute delight—warm, fragrant, and just the right amount of sweetness. The service was exceptional, with the staff being extremely polite, attentive, and welcoming. The ambience added to the experience—warm lighting, tasteful décor, and a cozy yet elegant setting. If you’re looking for authentic Indian cuisine in Munich, this place is a must-visit. Will definitely be coming back!

This was our first visit. Very friendly and delicious!

I was in the restaurant with a friend last Friday and can only recommend it to everyone. The food tastes really good, the service was top and the atmosphere was also very nice and clean. There are also a lot of delicious vegetarian options, which gets another star from me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Especially Nan and Pani puri were great

It was a beautiful evening. We “stumbled” into this restaurant by chance and were super happy with the great quality of the food, the service and also the small, fine restaurant. We had a lot of fun 👏

Nice ambience with supportive staff . Taste was superb. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and service loved it will visit again

Food was very good, quiet and pleasant atmosphere!

Very tasty Indian food and the service was great! Can highly recommend the restaurant! A highlight was definitely the cheese starter - very tasty. For the main course we had the chicken masala and mango chicken and it was really really good!

Food was not up to the mark.Toilet was not clean.

The food was overall very tasty, but unfortunately, I found a hair in my main dish. This makes me assume that the kitchen staff might not be wearing proper protective gear while cooking, which is quite concerning. Apart from that, the food was enjoyable, except for the dessert—unfortunately, they didn’t have their signature rasmalai, which was disappointing. The service was fast and the staff was kind, which was definitely a positive aspect of the experience. However, the music really took away from the atmosphere. It was loud, repetitive, and felt like the same sad song was playing over and over again. It didn’t match the setting at all and made the overall dining experience rather unpleasant—especially considering the high prices.

Best Indian restaurant in Munich.

Delicious food with a large selection of vegetarian options, super nice staff (!) and a very nice atmosphere!!

Nice atmosphere! We celebrated our birthday and the staff prepared a nice surprise for us

Very very tasty and great service!

I had made the reservation for two people today (Monday, 6:30 p.m), even received a reminder from the restaurant about it, and when we arrived, punctually, the place was closed! There was no information whatsoever. Another couple had the same problem and we all had to look for an alternative last minute. Not serious at all.

Very good food and nice service. Value for money. Try the honey chilly potato for sure

We were here for dinner last night and had high expectations based on the many positive reviews. Unfortunately, these were not fulfilled. The food was just average, we've had much better Indian food. The portion size was good.

We were there spontaneously for lunch! The food is really excellent and the same goes for the service! Gladly again at any time!

Very good shop. Food and service was top 👍 And even got a mango lassi on the house

One of the good ones in Munich, this restaurant amazed me with its authentic butter chicken. The Vorspeisen (starters) options are good and delicious especially if you have a North Indian food preference. The food, the drinks and the desserts are luscious. Gajar ka halwa is the highlight. Highly recommend.

It was a good filling meal with all the Indian spices which was actually good felt like home

food was so delicious and yummy, I had a amazing experience there, must visit here for Desi foods 🤍 and the stuff was super friendly 🥰

Food was great service was great the people also very friendly specially the maan you can aske him everything you wanna eat 👍

The best chicken biryani in the city and the samosas are perfect for when you're slightly hungry 👌🏼

Really cozy, nice staff! Good portions and really tasty. Would definitely go there again and again

Great food and service by Maan!

Edit: originally I gave 5 stars to everything as all was great when they opened. Since then the price/quality ratio significantly inverted until it reached the bottom this evening. Everything was extremely salty, to the level of inedible. And I'm the person that salts everything, however this is something that should not have gone out of the kitchen. When the waiter asked how we liked it he didn't wanna listen about any complaints and wanted to just leave our table as quickly as possible. We will not be going back anymore and it is such a shame as it's just down the street from us. Cauliflower pre dish is too spicy as well as too salty for an average European palette, but no points deducted for spiciness as that's on me.

Price performance top! The food was really tasty and the staff was super friendly. Would love to come back

Dear readers A real culinary delight for young and old! From meat dishes to vegan, everything tastes really wonderful. There is also great, friendly service, which only showed a bit of overwhelm when it came to small things. But the food was really wonderful, so you can't complain. The ambience offers a cozy, beautiful dining area and offers a well-stocked bar. Sources say that the boss of this restaurant also makes a great impression and engages with the customers. We were offered everything from light spirits to original Indian rum. A real insider tip from me: Butter Chicken. Wonderfully tender chicken refined with an excellent tasting sauce. Definitely worth a visit! You have to know.

Great food and wonderful service...with a nice birthday surprise...TOP!!!!

After about a dozen Indian restaurants, for the first time everything was completely satisfactory. Food, service, even the music. Thank you! See you soon!

We called spontaneously on Saturday and fortunately got a place for two people. We were served friendly and quickly on site. The order was taken quickly and the food came to the table quickly. The menu offers a small but clear selection of Indian dishes, exactly the classics you want. The Chicken Tikka Masala was outstanding! The portion was generous and the naan was also wonderfully fluffy and tasty. We'd love to come back! Best regards Tim

The best Butter chicken and Tikka masala ever! 😍

Very nice experience, everything was good

Now one of my favorite Indians in the Schwabing area! I particularly enjoy eating the Dal Mahk(a)ni and the spicy naan with it. In general I think the breads there are very good. The service is warm and calm. You can wait ~10 minutes for drinks and ~30 minutes for food. (which is fine, but may not be fast enough for some) All in all, I always like to come back because the space, volume and therefore ambience, as well as the food and price/performance are absolutely right for me. My tip: Instead of mango spritzer/lassi, try the cucumber-mint lemonade here! :)

Not at all a god place to eat. Me and my wife got diarrhoea and stomach pain after having dinner. That are not authentic at all and something was definitely off with the food

It is the best Indian restaurant in Munich!! Not only they have the most delicious food but they also have the most kind and respectful service!! Best decision EVER.

Definitely check out Curry and Cumin is you’re craving some good Indian food in Munich! Not only is the atmosphere and service amazing, but the food is extremely authentic and delicious. I’d highly recommend the Honey Chili Potatoes and the Gobi Manchurian to start off with. For the main course, there are multiple vegetarian and meat (chicken and lamb) as well as tandoor and biryani options to choose from. All main dishes come with rice as well. The garlic naan is also a must try. Will definitely be visiting again!

The best place where service is very good , but taste of Paneer karahi was waste of money , while dal makhni was worth it ! The best thing I like was they served Onions and chilli and mouth freshners

Mostly authentic and one of the better Indian restaurants in Munich. Their menu thankfully offers some non cliché and (non British propaganda) authentic menu items with really good taste. The service, ambience and the cocktails are good as well!

Lovely food, unique cocktails! Loved it here!

The positive reviews also reflected our experience. The food is very authentic and tasteful: starters as well as main courses tasted very good without exception and were large portions. The man in service was also super friendly, attentive and you could tell he enjoyed his job. There was a little attention from the house when they noticed that we had a birthday child with us. Best Indian restaurant that I have had the pleasure of getting to know in Munich so far. We'll be back.

Drinks and food were both very good! The lamb kababs were different than we expected, but still tasted great. Service was top notch.

Very good food, good service and nice staff.

I can't understand the extremely good reviews Bad Indian food. Without taste. And I eat and cook a lot of Indian food and have lived there for a long time Location is actually very great. Cool, relaxed But the service was unfortunately unfriendly, not customer-oriented, slow and inattentive Sorry, never again

We tried Curry & Cumin - Indian Kitchen and Bar based on the many positive Google reviews. Unfortunately, our expectations were not entirely met. The food is solid and tastes good, but remains more in the “standard Indian” range. Anyone looking for something unusual here will probably be disappointed. The service was friendly, the ambience was fine, and the prices were acceptable. Overall, a solid restaurant, but for me there are still some details missing that would justify a 4 or 5 star rating.

What an amazing, amazing restaurant tucked away in the (relatively) quiet neighbourhood of Clemenstraße. I really cannot recommend the place enough. We were greeted with the warmest smile from Ahmed who patiently answered all our questions, recommended the delicious chilli lehsun kulcha, and was a great conversationalist. The Rajma rice was 20/10, the naan was beyond what I expected from it, the honey chilli potato transported me to the streets of Delhi, and I just couldn’t stop hogging until I was on the verge of exploding. In a nutshell, the place offers - Beautiful ambiance - Delectable food - Generous portions for very good price It’s definitely our favourite Indian restaurant in Munich now. ❤️

Delicious food! Honey chilly potato is a must try

Authentic north indian food in Munich...cosy place and good vibes.. Akhil is a great host and extends warm hospitality. With all the calmness comes a spark of light which is their chat platters... We ordered Papdi chat, dahi Puri and Pani puri... Papdi chat was exceptional...both Pani puri and dahi puri gave a blast to our taste buds... Rotis were really soft and airy, bhartha was a classic curry...Overall, it's a must try Indian restaurant in Munich!

Food used to be great, now it is just average. Something changed unfortunately.

We had dinner 3 people. The foods are very worst no proper taste and cost is very high compared to other Indian restaurants.they don’t want to buy salt for sabji but price is as higher as mounteverest! As a indian i have never had this kind of bad experience in foreign country . But for the snapchat user should visit this as it was well decorated.

Was disappointed, restaurant is very fancy decorated. But unfortunately our dish Palak Paneer didn't taste good. You could taste the spinach that it was frozen spinach. Given the overpriced prices, you can probably expect that the dishes are prepared authentically and not from frozen products!! As a result, it no longer tasted like palak paneer and was wasted money. Never again!

We had some fantastic food outside on the cosy terrace. It really was a delicious and satisfying meal at a decent price. And the waiters were very friendly. Highly recommended!

Very tasty food. The butter chicken is absolutely recommended. Friendly and fast staff. Location and furnishings are very inviting.

Cool atmosphere to have Indian food. Good Indian street foods.

We had a wonderful evening on May 29th, 2024. The whole team was so attentive. We can only recommend it.

Great experience! Delicious food, nice service and clean toilet. Everything perfect!

I am writing this review after visiting the restaurant at around 6-8 times in last couple of months. I must say, it is one of the best restaurants in Munich. I would like to mention that one of the employees is from Pakistan and I will recommend to talk to him for food suggestions. Along with the food I liked the service and behavior of everyone working in restaurants. My personal suggestion would be onion pakoda in the starter, chicken/mutton nilgiri, mutton masala. Location wise also it’s exactly in front of Tram stop so very convenient to reach. Most importantly, book the table beforehand.

Finally there is Gobi Manchurian in Schwabing😊 And everything is really original Indian 🌶️ spicy, the bitter chicken is suitable for children, it is mild and so delicious

Very good food. Not completely traditional Indian. But exactly this is ok for this area. It was very delicious food!

Amazing service and food. Definitely try the pani puri and honey chilli potato!

We enjoyed it very much and it was right around the corner from us

Excellent food. Courteous staff. Just amazing place to have indian food

Very Tasty food. Superb service. Loved the place

One of the best authentic Indian restaurants in Munich. The food is truly excellent, but what truly amazed us was the exceptional service. When I requested chips for my child, they provided them for free along with a small glass of mango lassi. Later, our drinks were slightly delayed, but to make up for it, they offered us the next mango lassi we ordered completely free of charge. I've never had such a pleasant customer service experience anywhere else in Munich before. I will definitely recommend this place and will continue to visit for its outstanding food and service.

Visited this place after a long time and was wondering why did I not visit it more. Some of the best Indian food in Munich. Service was also excellent... food was served super fast and adjusted to our tastes... Looking forward to our next visit...

Chili Honey Potatoes, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Garlic Naan were all on point! I kind of wanted to bathe in the masala sauce honestly…… Lamb nilgiri was not quite what we expected but was light and good. They brought extra naan on the house. Win! On a Monday night the place was empty which was great for just enjoying our meal and the environment.

Visited the restaurant today, super happy with the experience. Food was good with proper Indian spice level. Tried Tandoori chicken, Gobi manchurian and not to miss to mention about Rasmalai (super tasty dessert 🤪) Recommend to try this restaurant

It was one of the best Indian foods I ever had in Germany. Dishes are very authentic, and the pricing is very reasonable. Highly recommended!

Coming from India, I can assure you that this is one of the worst restaurant. The staff is rude and impolite. The food was uncooked, lacked flavour and basic seasoning. When asked for an extra dish for the bread, the staff refused and touched the food from my plate to make space for the bread. We confronted him about this and he was unapologetic about this. Please don’t visit this place, if you are looking for a good Indian food experience.

Food, service and ambience top! Can be recommended!

Awesome food and great, friendly and hospitable host! Wonderful experience! 🎊🎉

Great recommendation! The food was very tasty, as were the cocktails. There is an unusual selection of great cocktails. The ambience is really nice. Great value for money!

Best food and service ever 👍 I recommend you too atleast visit once 😊

One of my favourites!! Always happy 😊

Curry & Cumin is really cool 😎 The service is super friendly and the dishes are absolutely amazing💯 Totally different from what you usually know from Indian restaurants💥 And price-wise? Totally okay for what you get! 🤑 Definitely a spot not to be missed! 🌟🍛

The ambience was okay. However, you sit very close to each other. When we were there (7:30 p.m.) the restaurant was very busy. The service was very friendly. The food was tasty, but nothing special. Typically for us, we ordered Palak Panier. For the price, the portions could have been a little larger.

We really enjoyed the food. The service was very friendly and attentive 😊 Overall, highly recommended. We'd love to come back ❗️

The place and ambience were perfect for dinner. I had the most amazing and soft paneer in my life. Overall loved the place and the vibe. The food was amazing.

Very good and friendly service! We were even brought another dish after the first one didn't quite suit our taste. Incredibly sweet. Thank you again.

I don’t get the high rating because I’ve had much better quality and thoughtfully made Indian food elsewhere in Munich. The Punjabi chicken was very salty, almost inedible, and the chicken was hard. the dal makhni didn’t have much flavor and was on the undercooked side w a random kidney bean here and there thrown in. the gobi Manchurian and spicy potatoes were flavorful, salty, spicy but cold when they arrived at our table. The garlic naan didn’t even have any parsley on it. The Chole bhatura was also disappointing, undercooked chickpeas and the bread was meh compared to other fried bread I’ve had Service was ok, we tried to change our order literally 30 seconds after he put it in while still at the table and he refused to change it?! The atmosphere/decor is modern, new and cozy. I wouldn’t go back for the food, for the price I can get much better flavor and quality anywhere else

The food was ok. Given the many good reviews, I would have expected something new. But it tastes just like any Indian. The service sometimes only spoke German very poorly and unfortunately we were forgotten several times. The volume level was quite high. I didn't find it really comfortable. When paying with a card, pay attention to what you type. Unfortunately, we entered too much, which I only noticed when I got home. It was “only” €5, but it doesn’t have to be that way. 🙁

Great food and taste 😋 Gobi was crispy 👍 we usually don't like red chilli chicken but this was something different (may be because the taste was amazing 🤩) Rasmalai was the highlight 😁

Mega tasty, super nice to sit on and perfect for lunch, for example! 👌🏼🤩

Reservation worked great. Food was very good for a reasonable price. The ambience is attractive, but the table and chairs are a bit impractical for tall people. When paying, my colleague was made fun of by the waiter. Unfortunately he didn't understand it and he has had social anxiety ever since. (image attachment) May the therapy sessions help him.

The place had a cozy vibe. I loved that they played old Bollywood music. As for the food, I ordered vegetable pakoras which were fantastic. The spices in them just took me back home. I didn't think that was possible. The portions for the main course were decent sized. It could have easily fed 2 people. All in all, I had a good experience.

We had made a reservation by phone and when we entered the store we were first told about the reservation, only to be seated directly at the door. Unfortunately the place is not pleasant because when we open the door there is a draft or the new guests are standing directly behind us. Since the shop was still quite empty (only one other table was occupied), we asked if we could sit somewhere else, but "everything was reserved". When we left there were only three other tables occupied. The menu was placed on our still empty starter plates, which we found to be extremely unhygienic. While I knew what I wanted to eat before entering the store, my partner was still engrossed in the menu. The waiter gave him two suggestions that he could take, but we figured we weren't asking for recommendations but wanted to study the menu in peace. This gave the impression that we were being urged to order. The waiter asked twice if he should clear our plates. On the one hand while we were still busy with the starter and chatting along the way and on the other hand when we were talking again while our half-full main courses were still in front of us. I'm not sure why he was so keen to clean up. There was hardly anything going on when we were there - we were there shortly after it opened in the evening. In terms of taste, the dishes are very tasty, if not a bit mild for Indian food, but that's not the focus of my criticism. In summary: The food is delicious, even if the spiciness is probably adapted to the European clientele, but the service can definitely be improved. In retrospect, I was annoyed that I tipped more than I should have.

Super delicious food in a cozy atmosphere and for really good prices. We will be back :)

Very nice hosts who make you feel comfortable right from the start. The food also tasted good, in a modern Indian atmosphere 👍

Haben Curry & Cumin auf TikTok gesehen und wollten es mal probieren, sind extra dafür mehr als 100km gefahren. Ambiente ist angenehm, kein allzu großes Restaurant, alles ist aber etwas enger. Der Sitzplatz links des Eingangs ist ein Witz, bei jedem reingehenden Kunden knallt die Türe an den Rücken. Hatten Butter Chicken & Mango-Ente. Butter Chicken war in Ordnung, Mango-Ente was aber dezent süß, eher ein Dessert als ein Hauptgang. In der Zucker-Mango Soße schwammen leider mehrere Stücke von der Enten-Haut und auch das Entenfleisch war leider kaum genießbar, teilweise ziemlich hart. Leider nichts für uns… :(

Tasty food, good service, very friendly staff- specially Akhil and team!

Ein so gemütliches Restaurant mit schöner Atmosphäre, nettem Personal und dem besten indischen Essen, das ich je hatte. Definitiv nicht mein letzter Besuch gewesen!

Sicher das beste indische Restaurant, in dem ich je war. Ich war mit Freundinnen dort, es gibt sehr leckere, frische, selbstgemachte Limonaden, Lassis und Cocktails. Das Essen duftet wunderbar und ist richtig gut gewürzt, ohne scharf zu sein (es gibt aber auch schärfer zubereitete Speisen auf der Karte). Das Ambiente ist modern und gemütlich, der Service aufmerksam, auf Empfehlung haben wir zum Nachtisch Rasmalai (Spezialität des Hauses) probiert, die sind eine unbedingte Empfehlung! Selten so was leckeres gegessen.

Sehr sehr gutes Essen und sehr freundliche Bedienung. Werde gerne wiederkommen.

Amazing food and even better service from Mr.Akhil. worth trying rasmalai 😋😋 best best
