Helene Restaurant in München

"Helene loves you" – and after this visit, I can only say: I love Helene back! This Israeli restaurant is a true culinary gem. From the very first moment, you can feel the attention to detail – both in the warm service and the creative, authentic cuisine.

Incredibly good food (we had the set menus) and friendly service. We'd go back anytime.

The food is amazing!! Definitely a hidden gem in Munich. The staff (especially Amar, who customized my cocktail to my liking) is very accommodating and organized, always friendly and patient. Cozy and

The food is top notch! The service perfect 👍

One of my favorite restaurants in Munich! Very nice staff, great food with really good and fresh ingredients. The waiter created a great atmosphere and was really attentive and very polite without being intrusive. Keep it up!

The food was very tasty and with that certain something, the service was really nice. Everything just fit.

We were full of anticipation and excitement that we would be dining at this trendy restaurant this evening. But as is sometimes the case: the actions we are particularly looking forward to are not necessarily the ones that make our hearts beat faster. Some dishes were only lukewarm, the wine was "interesting" and the service left a lot to be desired. We had imagined it differently.

Very tasty starters and desserts, service not up to speed that evening, forgot 2nd dishes and then dessert. Would still go again to give them a second chance

I reserved a table for two people for Friday evening at 6:30 p.m. We had a two-hour timeframe. We'd barely been seated when we were asked what we wanted to eat. The food was served in a flash, and the table was cleared very quickly. Everything was "quick and easy." After our meal, we were immediately asked if we wanted another espresso. We weren't offered dessert or the menu at all. Our request for another drink was ignored. Instead, we were asked to leave the restaurant at 8:15 p.m. because a group of 20 guests was expected after us and the table still needed to be set. Absolutely outrageous! When I complained, we were offered a shot of schnapps and still charged early. I've been to Helene several times, including celebrating a birthday there with a larger group. After this outrageous service, this was my last visit! Two hours is already too short a time, especially if you're not familiar with Israeli cuisine. It's a shame because the food was always very good, except for the charred cauliflower.

We were here for the first time and absolutely loved it. Super nice service and the food is super delicious. Absolute recommendation!

I love Helene. Best service in a long time. The food was fantastic. The only thing that was a bit loud was the full house. But I'm happy to accept that again at any time.

Great food and awesome service and staff.

Very nice location, the dishes were very tasty... gladly again

Cool, very special concept. Super delicious food. Fair prices. A great culinary experience. Top service. We'll be back.

Still ok, but used to be much better Still a nice restaurant, but before Corona it was much friendlier and had more class. The current menu is quite narrow and offers too little choice. The octopus tasted ok, but was unfortunately a bit tough. It's also stupid when the best red wine is out of the open wines, especially on Saturday evening. It is not appreciative of restaurant customers if, in order to get to the local disco, you have to go out and wait outside to go through the cash register. You used to be able to go straight into the disco through the existing interior door. That was an elegant solution. Not nice at all when, after paying a hefty restaurant bill, you have to go outside into the cold, stand in line and pay the entrance fee. In my opinion, this is poorly understood business sense. Don't come back so quickly. Maybe in summer. Let's see if anything has changed.

Super leckeres Essen, sehr freundliches Personal Danke für den unbeschwerten und lustigen Abend

Alles Top gewesen. Tolles Essen. Schöner Abend. Anscheinend Disco Besuch Top

Es war wieder ein besonderer Abend -mit Familie-mit herzlicher Bewirtung und tollem Essen , einfach pefekt und sehr zu empfehlen.

Helene liebt Dich hat uns nicht nur lieb sondern mit traumhaftem Essen und einem tollen Service verzaubert. Isreal trifft Arabien konnten wir uns tmzuerst nicht wirklich vorstellen, jedoch haben uns die Kombinationen der Gerichte, inkl. Gewürzen, Zubereitung und Präsentation absolut überzeugt. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung sowie der Wunsch ganz bald mal wieder einen Abend bei #helene einzuplanen.

There was a small room in the disco downstairs, almost only unkempt guests, one even with a backpack on the dance floor. Everyone just stood around listlessly and didn't dare to dance The highlight was the barmaid with the short blonde bob and extensive cleavage who was totally unfriendly and aggressive and followed you with her envious eyes and left after 1 hour, never again!!!!!

Mein Mann und ich hatten in dieser Woche unseren Hochzeitstag gefeiert und suchten „etwas besonderes“, ruhiges und sehr leckeres und genau das haben wir hier gefunden! Wir waren die ersten Gäste und daher war es sehr ruhig 😂 im schön dekorierten, kleinen Lokal in downtown Schwabing. Begrüßt wurden wir von einem sehr freundlichen und aufmerksamen Kellner, der uns nach und nach stets strahlend die ganz besonderen Köstlichkeiten an den Tisch brachte. Und wie köstlich jedes einzelne Gericht war, ist unbeschreiblich. Die Köche leisten wirklich ganze Arbeit und sind damit auch der wahre Schatz dieses Restaurants! Egal ob Meze, das gebratene Lamm oder der sensationelle Jardin Majorelle Salat - jedes Gericht war in der Tat ein Gedicht! Dazu kamen Drinks, die wir noch nie vorher in dieser Kombination getrunken haben und ein Baklava mit Pistazieneis, das seinesgleichen sucht. Fazit: wir hatten einen wirklich wunderschönen Abend, haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, wurden sehr verwöhnt und das bedeutet: wir werden mit Sicherheit wiederkommen! An das ganze Team: Herzlichen Dank Euch allen für einen wunderschönen Abend 😍😍😍

Kleine aber sehr gute Essens-Auswahl. Service super freundlich. Leider war es eiskalt im Restaurant. Wir mussten beim Essen die Mäntel anlassen und mussten uns danach erst mal im Hotel aufwärmen, bevor wir weiter gezogen sind. Saßen an den bodentiefen Fenstern.

One of the very best restaurants in Munich. The hummus is particularly recommended, it doesn't taste better anywhere

The food is breathtakingly good, the service is super friendly and attentive and the room is very comfortably furnished. Thanks for the great evening!

Tasty food. Good place for a group dinner. The octopus and buffalo mozzarella was particularly good. Happy to return.

The two of us spent a lovely evening here. Since we love trying out restaurants, we ordered very generously from the menu and actually ate all of the appetizers and the tuna. The starters were all good but none of them really blew your mind away. Unfortunately the tuna wasn't that good. There were even 1-2 slices that didn't taste good at all. In general there were a lot of slices. Here you could possibly leave out two or three and use slightly better quality. The service was attentive and the atmosphere was really cozy. The time flew by and we felt good. Unfortunately some cocktails were not available and the coffee machine was broken.

We were there as a group of girls, the place is nicely decorated and you immediately feel at home. The service was friendly and top. And we all enjoyed it very much!! We would be happy to come back, clear recommendation.

Wir waren eine Mädelsgruppe und jeder hat es ausgezeichnet geschmeckt, war alles top, kommen gerne wieder!

A great atmosphere with great dishes. Very tasty and authentic mezze, like from the local kitchen. Just feel good. “Helene loves you”… us too :)

Very nice restaurant and great food! Definitely recommended!

Food was good but not overwhelming. The whistle was missing on some things. The expensive octopus, which we were very happy about, was unfortunately very tough and really hard. Too bad... But what bothered us the most in the group: The table was in the middle of the room and one row sat near the passage to the kitchen. It was cold, a constant tug when the door opened (which needs to be repaired because it doesn't close properly). Consider a process at the door or a different seating arrangement. We sat on the train for 2.5 hours in the cold. In addition, from 10:20 p.m. the kitchen was scrubbed, cleaned and cleaned with chlorine-containing agents. Although there were still 4-5 tables eating. The smell of chlorine was so intense that it hurt my eyes. Too bad! For so much money, we could have saved ourselves sitting in the cold and having to breathe in cleaning agents in the uncomfortable, noisy space. 7 people disappointed... It would be better to communicate in advance that you would be asked to pay and leave from 10 p.m. because that's when the intensive cleaning work begins. The service girls were great. Very hardworking, nice and warm.

One of the best locations in Munich. Menu is not extensive but there is something for everyone. The chefs know their job. We felt like we were in Marrakech or Beirut. Great and thank you!

Very very tasty. Mia will be back!

Spoiled by Helene 💃🏻 We were enchanted by the culinary delights and looked after wonderfully by the service. Eating is a taste journey to the Middle East and tastes excellent. The service was extremely attentive and extremely friendly. Thank you for the lovely evening. Helene loves us 😘

Great restaurant with friendly service and delicious vegan dishes.

There were four of us there in the evening. We had aperitifs, various starters, main courses, desserts... Everything at the highest level and with sophistication! The service was very attentive and friendly and the ambience fits very well with the modern interpretation of traditional dishes. A clear recommendation!👍👍👍

Exciting concept with excellently combined dishes, relaxed atmosphere and everything is delicious.

Lecker, wie immer. Service top. Tische im Freien. Es war sehr schön dort zu sitzen. Ein toller Sommerabend in Schwabing.

Location: it’s in an active area, not far from English garden. It can reach by U-Bahn or tram, meanwhile, there is park house nearby, very convenient. (4.5) Environment: we sit outside at the terrace, it is very comfortable and cozy. I think it’s the best season of the year. I like the colorful design and decoration. (4.5) Food: they are excellent!! I like every dish, the eggplant is refreshing, the avocado is yummy and the Octopus is juice. (5) Service: I must highlight the service, they always come to clean up the table timely, they ask if we need anything regularly, and they respond immediately. (5) Price: it’s a normal price to pay in Schwabing. (4.5) Overall: 4.7 I will surely go back to try out the other dishes.

The seven of us ate our way through the menu. The mezze are super tasty and fresh. The Tatar world class. Plus a white wine flat rate for €12 on Tuesday. Allergies were also taken into account. Clear recommendation

Excellent Middle Eastern cuisine, great service. Truly enjoyed the experience

Tolles Konzept, sehr leckeres Essen und superfreundlicher Service. Leider etwas lange Wartezeiten für die Mahlzeiten, was vielleicht am EM-Abend lag. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

We had a very nice evening, really good food, good service! The mezze were amazing and the portions were generous.

Managed to get an early table without booking and sat outside (blankets a nice touch). Service was noticeably attentive and the food looked and, more importantly, tasted great!

Top Service und hervorragendes Essen bei bisher jedem meiner Besuche.

Very good food, nice atmosphere and very helpful

Verschiedene Vorspeisen, gegrillter Oktopus und das Beirut Hendl - der absolute Hammer. Ganz neue geschmackliche Erfahrung aufgrund der Gewürze, einem tollen Biss und einer professionellen und kreativen Zubereitung. Hier gehört ein Stern hin. Auch der junge Mann, der uns bedient hat, 1 A. Demnächst gerne wieder, dann vielleicht auch mit Freunden.

We had the 3 course menu - everything was excellent. Taste and quality: great Quantity: certainly not too little. Service: very nice & accommodating Afterwards our group of 13 went to the club one floor below. All in all great, gladly again!

Gutes Restaurant super leckeres Essen. Vorallem die Vorspeisen waren super lecker und speziell.

Great evening with delicious food and courteous staff, gladly again

Wir waren mit 7 Personen an einem Donnerstag Abend im Helene. Das Essen und der Service waren super. Das Personal war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Wir kommen gerne wieder

The Helene restaurant is located in a busy area. We had several starters that tasted and looked perfect. For the main course we ordered the beef fillet and additional asparagus. The beef fillet was fried to a perfect medium rare and the combination with the side dishes earned a 10 out of 10. I also have to highlight the drinks. Be sure to try the recommendations! The gin with basil was really fantastic. Many thanks also to the attentive service. We will be back

Ein großes Lob an Amar und Veronika…wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und die Küche war wie immer Top. Besonders die Vielfältigkeit der diversen Geschmacksrichtungen ist fantastisch. 👍 !!!

Very attentive service and great food.

We were thrilled! Great food and service that you rarely experience: somnambulantly confident, attentive, friendly - and actually sparkling with enthusiasm!

Immer wieder gut, kann ich uneingeschränkt empfehlen

Really delicious Israeli food. I would have liked just a bit more power / courage (spiciness, spice, salt) in all dishes

The staff here puts their hearts into it. Everything was perfect The menu was very good And the Sum Sum Tuna was great too. Clear recommendation for everyone...

The service was extremely friendly and attentive, even on a busy Saturday evening. The ambience with music, lighting and furnishings was very pleasant, even though the tables were quite close together. You should avoid the tables in the middle of the room because it gets a bit hectic with arriving guests and the walking paths of the service staff. The “Baked Cauliflower” and “Crispy Avocado” appetizers were extremely tasty, and the dips that came with them were really excellent. The main course, the "Grilled Octopus", was generally okay. However, the sauces (muhammara and olive tapenade) perhaps masked the flavor of the octopus a bit too much. Unfortunately, the fried romaine lettuce that was served with it had some brown (slightly rotten) spots on the outside. Apparently the chef thought this wouldn't be noticeable when fried. All in all, the restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

Sehr aufmerksames und freundliches Personal, eine angenehme Atmosphäre und fantastisches Essen.

Excellent cuisine! For me the best restaurant in Munich. Unusual!!!!

Die Vorspeisen alleine sind schon mal der Hit. Eine schöne Vielfalt und köstlich zubereitet. Der Service ist TOP, sehr aufmerksam, aber nicht aufdringlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen immer wieder.

Es gibt nur wenige Gerichte, was ich gut finde. Es gab jedoch nur eine Vorspeise extra auf der Tages Karte. Insgesamt ein bisschen hochpreisig für das was man bekommt, besonders die Getränke

Absolute recommendation. Top food, great service.

wir hatten den Platz reserviert, das hat gut geklappt. Die Gäste vorher dürften noch an einem anderen Platz weitergeniesen. Vielen Dank den 2 Herren.

Went there for the first time last night with my daughter. We would immediately receive a warm welcome and be shown to our place. The food and service were first class. Gladly again

Absoluter Genuss pur. Das Essen war auf den Punkt lecker und eine Mischung aus Tradition und Moderne. Die Geschmacksvielfalt hat sehr gefallen und der Service war klasse. Nicht zu aufdringlich, kompetent und schnell. Alles in allem: Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen

Sehr netter, herzlicher Empfang. Aufmerksame, flotte, kompetente und unaufdringliche Mitarbeiterin. Essen war sehr gut und echt schön angerichtet. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Very, very good food and super friendly service. Only recommended, starters are absolutely recommended.

Sehr gutes Essen und super freundlicher Service. Kann ich jedem nur weiterempfehlen der gerne israelisch ist. Preis-Leistung top 👍🏼

Wir haben das Restaurant vor einem Konzert besucht und sind mehr als herzlich bewirtet worden. Das Essen war sensationell gut, mein Herzenswunsch Tel-Aviv -Salat wurde extra für mich zubereitet. Das besondere und herzlich geführte Restaurant ist sehr zu empfehlen.

We had a very pleasant evening with Helene. The food tastes excellent and the service is very accommodating. We were particularly enthusiastic about the cleverly seasoned dishes - there is something for everyone on the small but very tasty menu! We'd love to come back!

Mehrmals dort gegessen und es war sehr gut. Bedienungen sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Leider etwas laut, wenn lokal voll belegt ist.

Great music so I had a lot of fun

Nettes Restaurant mit ausgewählten Speisen, es hat uns gut gefallen

Das Essen war hervorragend und der Service sehr aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Ich hatte zum Hauptgang Oktupus der leider etwas zäh war. Nachdem ich es der Kellnerin gesagt hatte, habe ich sofort einen neuen Oktupus bekommen der perfekt war. Außerdem wurde sich mehrmals dafür entschuldigt. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Abend in tollem Ambiente, hervorragenden Service und werden bestimmt noch einmal kommen 😊

Tolles Essen und ein herausragender Service. Wer auch einen guten Wein mag kann sich hier sehr gut beraten lassen

Essen sehr schmackhaft und Fleisch auf dem Punkt. Service aufmerksam,freundlich und schnell. Nach dem Essen waren wir noch in der angeschlossenen Disko. Musik,Stimmung und Publikum waren super. 5 Sterne ohne jede Kritik. Leider von Duisburg NRW etwas weit weg, aber bei unserem nächsten Münchentrip kommen wir gerne wieder.

Es war phantastisch! Danke für den tollen Abend bei euch 😊

Das Essen ist sowohl optisch als auch geschmacklich ausgezeichnet. Der Service sehr aufmerksam und schnell. Wir waren am Freitag Abend mit 3 Personen und hatten für 18.00 Uhr reserviert. Uns war bewusst, dass wir ein Zeitkontingent von 2 Std. haben ,um 20.00 Uhr waren noch einige Tische frei, trotzdem wurden wir sanft aber bestimmt gedrängt die Rechnung zu bezahlen, was den schönen Abend leider einen unschönen Abschluss gab.

Super toller Service , mega leckeres Essen!!

Haben einen sehr schönen Abend hier verbracht. Essen und Service waren 🔝. Vielen Dank an das Team.

Wir kommen gerne wieder! Hervorragende Küche, eine Geschmacksexplosion! Sehr aufmerksames, freundliches Personal! Preis-Leistung stimmt!

Tolle Speisekarte, von der Kücke top umgesetzt und sehr nette Bedienung!

Locale splendido con servizio spettacolare. La gestrice o proprietaria è una vera professionista nel organizzare tutto alla perfezione. Dopo giorni di birra patate e carni grasse ecco la svolta. Un locale con pietanze curate saporite originali leggere ma del tutto gustose. Sapori ricercati. Brllo tutto. Brava tu ...

Super Essen und mega Service! Wir kommen wieder!

If you are in Munich, do spare time to visit and have dinner there. One of the best place.

Das Essen war großartig und der Service auch, wir kommen wieder.

Das Essen war großartig und der Service auch, wir kommen gerne wieder.🙏

Super leckeres Essen, klasse Service und ein sehr angenehmer und schöner Außenbereich! Gerne wieder und jedem sehr zu empfehlen!

Wir hatten einen sensationellen Abend im Helene liebt dich. Perfektes Essen und super entspanntes und professionelles Personal. Danke! Wir kommen bald wieder!

Super Abend tolle Atmosphäre war nicht unser letzter Besuch weiter so Danke

Das Essen war wie immer genial und wir haben uns wie immer überfressen.

Heute Abend das erste Mal hier gewesen. War super! Sehr gutes Essen, sehr netter Service, lauer Sommerabend in Schwabing. Was will man mehr?

Wir standen hier fast ne Stunde an weil es Einlassstopp gab. Das ist ja an sich verständlich, aber das Publikum und die Musik ist nur was für 18-20 Jährige (einiges an High-School-Musical und Hannah Montana) und es hat gefühlt 50 grad im Club.

Ein sehr schönes Restaurant. Ich war schon mehrmals dort essen…immer sehr zuvorkommender Service, leckeres Essen und Cocktails.

Super schöner Abend bei leckerem Essen und Top Service! Gerne wieder.

Wir waren das erste Mal dort. Das Essen war durchgehend sehr lecker und der Service extrem freundlich und aufmerksam. Zusammen mit der musikalischen Untermalung war es fast ein bisschen wie Kurzurlaub in Marrakesh. ;-)

Nice and cozy location, the service is great, and the food is very delicious! I totally would recommend the octopus!

Die Musik ist leider die reinste Katastrophe. Waren jetzt zwei Mal dort und zwei Mal echt mega enttäuscht. Bei 2 DJ's könnte man sich echt nen besseren Mix an Musik überlegen. Neben dem VIP Bereich in der Disco kommt man sich als Gast 2. Klasse vor. Jackenabgabe ist kostenlos, gibt einen Pluspunkt.
