Hewad Restaurant in München

We spontaneously decided to visit the restaurant. The atmosphere is nice and the food is delicious. However, our visit was marred by the behavior of the waiter, who unfortunately treated us very condescendingly. It's a shame and really, really unpleasant.

Relaxed atmosphere, thank you for the great evening. We were well looked after by Hadi and the food was really, really good. Thanks!

The most unfriendly/disgraceful service I have ever experienced. It's a shame, because the food was quite good.

I have never eaten such deliciously seasoned meat as here. The starter and side dishes were also very good

The food is very authentic and very tasty. But I have never experienced such unfriendly and disrespectful service. Unfortunately, this spoils the experience. We won't come anymore.

TOP service - incredibly great hosts!

My wife and I and our twin boys were absolutely happy. All main courses and all drinks were perfect, the portions were large but not excessive. Our waiter was very kind, patient and helpful. I've eaten at 5-6 Afghan restaurants in Munich over the years, none better than Hewad! We'll be going back soon...

Everything is right here! Excellent food and great service!

Very good food and excellent service!

Chic little restaurant in the heart of Munich. You will receive a friendly welcome even without a reservation. We were served attentively and advised on the menu in a friendly and patient manner. The dishes were extremely good and also of high quality. Here we cook with love and work with joy.

very tasty and excellent service

Absolutely brilliant restaurant. I can only recommend it. Food and service is outstanding.

This is probably my favorite restaurant in Munich. We get the lamb grill with the pumpkin appetizer, absolutely delectable. This time we also tried the dessert (photo) which was also unlike anything I've had before, a treat for the taste buds. Great service here of course compliments the meal. Definitely organize a reservation in advance to make sure you get a spot, lots of people also think this restaurant is great. Looking forward to the next time!

Were eating here for the first time. Very tasty, great service, nice atmosphere.

Very very very nice service and food!!!

The food was good, but the service was unfriendly, arrogant and even abusive at the end. I wouldn't recommend it. There are other very good Afghan restaurants in Munich.

Unfortunately, the food took a back seat during our visit as we were repeatedly complained about unpleasantly by the waitress. The reasons why we were picked on/looked at strangely, as a warning to future guests: -We were 2 minutes early -2 people canceled at short notice -We couldn't immediately guarantee whether a friend would come -We didn't know how to pronounce the dishes correctly -We pointed out that our order was not complete -We didn't know that the reservation was only for 1.5 hours and we had to leave immediately afterwards -Because a friend was smoking outside the door when we had to pay -We asked to be allowed to collect our bags and cell phones before our table is cleaned If you stick to all of these points and behave accordingly, you can enjoy delicious Afghan food in a somewhat hectic atmosphere.

Spontan haben wir einen Platz bekommen. Das Restaurant war sehr gut besucht, hatte aber trotzdem eine gemütliche Wohnzimmer-Atmosphäre. Sehr freundlicher Service und leckeres Essen haben diesen Besuch abgerundet. Beim nächsten Besuch in München gerne wieder.

Delicious food but there was no space for sitting the service medium but there was a boy with service team grasp the ice by his hands and put it inside the glass of water this was bad thing I ask him to replace the glass

My favorite restaurant in Munich! I have never eaten such fantastically seasoned food in a restaurant. There is (also) a great selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes. The people who work here are sooo nice. You feel totally welcome. It should also be noted that it is really comfortable to sit on. I highly recommend Hewad Restaurant! 😍

Incredibly delicious! Price performance doesn't get any better.

The food was delicious but the service was not! The waitress was rude and not friendly at all. l did not feel comfortable. I give 4 starts only because l do not want to be unfair to food!

Super good food in a lovingly furnished, small restaurant with really friendly service. Always happy to come back and very often :)

Nice place, friendly staff and delicious food. What is there more to wish for 😊

Small (narrow) and picturesque restaurant. Our meals were very good. And there is all the alcohol you need. 😉 Recommendation!

Very good food and super nice people.

Super nice, small restaurant with incredibly delicious food! The teas are also really tasty :) Service was quick and not overly cheerful but not rude either.

All I can say is: palate-friendly, simply good Cozy atmosphere and very friendly service

Reservations are only possible by telephone; I was hired on January 2nd. Unfortunately, at 5:30 p.m. I had to wait several minutes with the receiver next to it until I hung up. That doesn't give a good first impression! Afterwards there was a nice call back and the reservation was made. But it is only possible for 1.5 hours! And this is also the case with six people: we had to pay after exactly 85 minutes in order to leave the restaurant after 90 minutes. We were given ONE bill for everyone, which we were allowed to divide ourselves. We were warmly greeted and served. What bothered me were the delivery men from WOLT and LIEFERANDO who were constantly coming in and out. Tip: reserve space in the back areas! The restaurant is small and cozy, the seating is quite tight. You can't click on the menu online. Neither with the Android cell phone/Google Chrome nor with Firefox on the laptop, see screenshot from February 27, 2025. Emails drawing attention to this remain unanswered Price examples: 0.5 liter shandy €4.70 0.2 l Lugana €6.90 Main courses between 16 and 22 €, e.g. B. "Kababe Morgh ba Palau" (=grilled chicken on brown baked spiced rice with almonds) €16.90 or mixed grill plate €20.90 "Quabeli Palau ba Goscht" (= gently braised lamb with brown baked spiced rice, almonds, carrot strips and raisins) €18.50. The food was very good, the portions were large. We would go there again for the food, but unfortunately the service isn't that great.

Wir waren an einem Mittwochabend vor Ort. Es gab bei der Reservierung zwei Essenszeiten 18 Uhr für 2 Stunden oder ab 20 Uhr Open End. Da wir uns immer viel zu erzählen haben, wählten wir die späte Essenszeit. Als ich vor Ort ankam, war das Lokal bis auf zwei Tische komplett belegt. Einer der beiden Tische wartete schon auf uns. Es waren 3 Gesellschaften mit 6-8 Personen, ansonsten 2-3 Personen pro Tisch. Geschätzter Platz für max. 40 Personen. Ich stand etwas länger an der Tür, da die Servicekraft gerade Essen servierte. Obwohl eine zweite Person hinter der Theke stand, war diese offensichtlich dafür nicht zuständig. Die Tische stehen sehr eng und es war insgesamt auch sehr laut, so dass wir uns fast anschreien mussten, aber dennoch versuchten, leise zu sein. Ich rechnete mit einer Heiserkeit am nächsten Tag. Wir wollten mit einem Cremant anstoßen, welcher für 5,90 Euro angeboten wurde. Leider gibt es den nur noch als Flasche. Stattdessen bot uns der Service einen Prosecco an, der nicht in der Karte stand. Die Gläser kamen sehr gut gefüllt, bis zum Rand war nur noch ein Millimeter Platz. Leider war er auch etwas zu warm und eher halbtrocken. Mit nur 70ct Preisunterschied zum Cremant lt. Rechnung. Aufgrund der späten Essenszeit sollte es für beide nur ein Hauptgericht werden. Ich entschied mich für eine der gegrillten Chicken Specialties, nämlich Kababe Morgh (17,90 Euro), dazu konnte ich Reis und Gemüse wählen. Ich entschied mich für traditionellen gebackenen braunen Reis mit Mandeln, Karotten und Rosinen sowie als Gemüse den Spinat nach afghanischer Art. Meine Freundin wählte Narendj Wa Badenjan Borani (18,90 Euro). Hierbei handelte es sich um scharf marinierte gegrillte Hähnchenbrust mit gebackenem Safran Basmati Reis, Mandeln und Zesten von süßer sowie saurer Bitterorange dazu gebratene Aubergine in Tomaten-Zwiebelsauce. Beide Portionen waren völlig ausreichend. Meine Freundin war begeistert von ihrem Gericht. Genau wie bei mir war das Fleisch schön gegrillt, die Fleischportionen genau richtig. Die Auberginen leicht rauchig im Geschmack und der Reis al dente. Auch mein Reis mit den Rosinen schmeckte nicht übertrieben süß, gerade die richtige Anzahl an Beeren. Der Spinat war gut gewürzt. Alles in Allem volle Punktzahl. Wir entschieden uns dann noch jeder für ein Dessert. Leider gab es den Reispudding nicht mehr also verzichtete ich. Meine Freundin orderte Ferni (5,50 Euro). Dabei handelte es sich um eine afghanische Creme mit Kardamom, Safran und Mandeln sowie Orangenscheiben. Ich durfte probieren, aber mir war das ganz etwas zu cremig. Ihr hat es geschmeckt und darauf kommt es an. Kurz nach unserer Ankunft wurde quasi jeder Tisch neu belegt. Das System funktioniert also. Allerdings ist uns das zu hektisch, auch bei der Geräuschkulisse. Schade, dass Essen war wirklich gut.

The food was absolutely amazing, 10/10 Very good service and incredibly nice owner, greetings to the hang glider🙏🏼 We'll be back!

Super tasty food, good service, and a beautifully coordinated menu!

Great little restaurant with incredibly good food and service. We were there on Monday evening without a reservation and the service made it possible for the 3 of us to get a table, despite the restaurant being full. The food was incredibly good. Lots of flavors that you don't necessarily get to taste in Germany. We would love to come back and I can highly recommend everyone to eat there. - Reservation is just a clear advantage.

The taste of the food was really excellent, even if the portions were rather small. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing - the staff seemed unfriendly and uninterested. What was particularly annoying was that we were asked to leave after exactly two hours because the table was reserved from 8 p.m. I had to hastily drink the cola I had just ordered. It's a real shame because the kitchen is impressive. However, if you value pleasant service, you're better off at Chopan - the food there is just as good, but the treatment of guests is much friendlier.

A restaurant that deserves its name - Hewad means home, and that's exactly the feeling you get with every visit to this cute little restaurant. From the first moment you feel welcome. Although it is always quite busy, the waiters make every effort to please every guest. A reservation is definitely recommended, but even without it, the staff always try their best and are flexible to accommodate any request. The dishes are prepared with special care and love. If you like rice, you're in rice heaven here. The ingredients are fresh, the spices are perfectly balanced and you can literally taste the tradition and dedication behind every preparation. I love the variety of flavors and have been coming here regularly for years now. I used to have little idea of ​​Afghan cuisine, but I am grateful that at Hewad I can get to know at least a small piece of this wonderful culture and loving people.

A fantastic restaurant. Great food. Very nice staff. Very fond of children. We were two mothers with 4 children. We felt so well taken care of. Our children love the food. Especially the yogurt dip and rice. We always enjoy coming back. Thanks.

Great restaurant with very friendly service and incredibly delicious food. We'll be back.

Excellent food, friendly staff & great atmosphere.

I didn’t have a great experience with the service at Hewad, but the food was incredibly delicious (one of the best meal of the last months) that I don’t want to give any rating below 5 stars. Also, the lack of service it’s not done on purpose. Regarding the food, I cannot recommend it enough. I hope they will improve their service cause some situations were quite unpleasant (dirty glasses with traces of lipstick, being left at the door for 5+ minutes with the table immediately available, all the dishes served at the same time etc) But all things said, it is a good restaurant and I still recommend to go (armed with a little patience maybe)

Absolutely outstanding! The cellar sweetened our wait for a table with tea and then we were able to enjoy the authentic ambience and delicious food. We'll definitely be back. Thanks

Das Lokal ist klein und war voll besetzt. Wir waren zu Fünft an unserem reservierten Tisch; die Reservierung war schon recht mühsam, da das Telefon nicht gut besetzt ist. Die Einrichtung und der freundliche, bemühte Service kamen bei uns erstmal gut an. Das Essen schmeckt vorzüglich und wir genossen die gute Qualität und die ausgesprochen intensiven Aromen der verschiedenen Gerichte in vollen Zügen. Auch das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist voll in Ordnung. Zwar wussten wir, das die Essenszeit unserer Sitzung um 20:00 Uhr endet. Jedoch hat das sehr rigorose Verteilen eines " Infodruck´s " der sich als Rechnung herausstellte die Stimmung deutlich gedrückt; und das gleich an vielen Tischen. Die anschließende vehemente Abkassierung machte den faden Beigeschmack, sich als Gast nicht wohlfühlen zu können komplett. Das Restaurant ist um 18:00 Uhr nur für eine kurze Essenseinnahme z. B. nach dem Büro geeignet.

The service and food was very good, there was nothing to complain about.

The food is great. The service is underground. We arrived five minutes before eight o'clock and were sternly told that we wouldn't have the table until eight o'clock and that we were too early. The restaurant was full and it was cold outside. We stood around stupidly until we could get to the table. We couldn't order an aperitif either, we were again strictly informed that he didn't have time to take our order and we would have to wait. In the end, the four of us felt like little schoolchildren being reprimanded. It was also cool in the restaurant because the door kept opening and the cold winter air came in. The atmosphere is rather uncomfortable. Our mood was clouded. This is not how you want to be treated as a guest in a restaurant. Even though the food was good, unfortunately we won't be back.

We really enjoy eating here during the fair. Yesterday we had dinner again with a large group. It was delicious! Great food in a great atmosphere. Absolute recommendation!

Excellent Afghan restaurant. Charming service, diverse menu! Moderate prices.

Vorzügliches Essen und tolles Personal Für 6 Personen kam alles zeitgleich und bei einem Verwechsler in der Bestellung wurde umgehend reagiert Tolle Vorspeisen und große Portionen bei den Hauptspeisen und ein leckereres Dessert Was will man mehr

The food was really great, super tasty and you didn't have to wait long either. We also had nothing to complain about in terms of service. The staff was very courteous, tried hard and attentive. We'd love to come back!

Not easy to get a place. It's best to reserve well in advance. Since I prefer to eat out spontaneously, I've only had luck once so far.

The food was good, no question about it, but - as mentioned several times in other posts here - we were treated disrespectfully and deceitfully by the employee who was responsible for us. We would come back for the food, but would switch to another restaurant because of the service.

The food is actually fantastic, both the starters and the main courses are highly recommended!

Great, it was a revelation. Delicious food in a pleasant, cozy atmosphere, it couldn't be better. The lentil soup had a very pleasant spiciness and the braised lamb was so tender and delicious, a poem. Thank you very much, I'll definitely come back, guaranteed ;-)

Spontan haben wir alle vier beim ersten Bissen ein Mmmmh ausgestoßen. Vorspeisen und Hauptgerichte sehr lecker, raffiniert gewürzt, das Fleisch auf den Punkt. Dazu ein sehr aufmerksamer, gastfreundlicher Service. Tolles Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Man muss reservieren. Einziges Manko, dass auch hier abends mit essensslots gearbeitet wird. Also besser den Slot ab 20:00 nehmen. Wir kommen wieder.

Extremely delicious cuisine. Nice service - great evening

The food was really very good. I can only recommend it.

The best Afghan restaurant in Munich!

Best food I had after long time.best starters and dessert phirni was cherry on cake.also warm hospitality

Wow, an all-round positive experience with a very fair price-performance ratio. Very attentive and warmly friendly service. The food is delicious, high quality and round. Locally small and cozy. Keep it up. We'll definitely be back!

Excellent food (very tasty vegetables) and very friendly service

From Boston and we’ve never had afgan cuisine. Everything from elderberry & mint infused water to the cardimon cream desert was excellent!

VERY tasty food & great atmosphere & nice staff!

Surprisingly good. Highly recommended in every way.

We spontaneously ate here today during our visit to Munich. Small and beautifully decorated restaurant. Our service was very friendly and attentive. The food is a DREAM with a lot of depth in the taste! No matter whether it was a starter, main course or dessert, nothing could have been done better 😊

I absolutely loved my visit to this Afghan restaurant! The dishes were not only delicious, but also had an extraordinary and perfectly balanced seasoning - truly a delight for the senses. You can tell that the cooking here takes place with great attention to detail. The service was attentive and friendly, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I definitely recommend calling ahead and making a reservation as the restaurant gets busy. A real insider tip for everyone who is looking for something special!

5 stars are actually not enough here. Some of the best food I've had so far. The rice alone is to die for. Can really only recommend it. The restaurant is a bit smaller and doesn't have very many seats. That's why it's understandable that with this quality you have to make a reservation and slots are only given for two hours.

The chef's recommendation is really outstanding! Whenever we happen to be in Munich, we go to Hewad and have already recommended the restaurant to many friends.

Incredibly delicious, very delicately and variedly seasoned dishes. We stopped by by chance and were thrilled, also by the friendly service staff. This restaurant is now one of our favorite places.

We've eaten at Hewad several times and always found it absolutely delicious! There is a great selection of dishes in the small restaurant and we were always served in an absolutely friendly manner. We'd love to come back!

Very nice evening with excellent food and perfect service

We live locally and had been planning to come here for ages. The good sign was it was always booked. We made it, and the wait was so worth it. The service was great and super friendly. The good was delicious. We took every starter and each was delicious. The mains of lamb and chicken were equally delicious and fork tender and full of flavour. Highly recommend to try.

Best Afghan restaurant in Munich. Excellent cuisine and attentive service. Always my pleasure.

Even though we hadn't reserved a table, we were greeted very politely. 2 delicious, well-seasoned vegetarian rice dishes were served quickly. I also recommend this restaurant because of the humorous, friendly and very good-humored service. Absolutely top and a real highlight in Munich.

Great, very small stylish restaurant. Food very awesome, exceptional spices and flavors. Highly recommended. Very good value for money for Munich. Be sure to reserve in advance.

Nice food but the rudest of service. Don’t go if you are looking for a welcoming and relaxing environment where talking and enjoying yourself is allowed. Not a place for groups!!

Super tasty, super hospitable, super restaurant!!

Very tasty and authentic food at fair prices. The waiter was very friendly and accommodating. A reservation is definitely recommended as the restaurant is small and well attended.

Very tasty Afghan food. We got a table even without a reservation.

If only I could give a negative score for the unbelievably rude service my friends and I experienced here! What a pity as we all looked forward to a nice evening. The waiter's goal for that evening was to make us feel as uncomfortable as possible with his non- existent manners. Right from the beginning he had made side remarks that made us feel uncomfortable as well as his very abrupt attitude and actions towards my friends and I. As soon as we were done eating, which was well beyond the time we were supposed to leave (8pm, it was only 7pm), he flops down the bill on our table. So we all got our cards ready to pay but he proceeded to ignore us the whole time. And in comes a rude customer and his family who mentions to the waiter that we were too loud (this I can only assume because we were all speaking in English) the waiter then makes a loud announcement to the whole restaurant that some customers should quiet down because the customers that just came in were offended, all the while pointedly looking at us! The sad thing is, the waiter himself was a foreigner...

Amazing food. Service was good and offered great suggestions. For Americans, this is European dining, so enjoy the pace.

Very nice restaurant The food was outstanding and the service was also extremely courteous and considerate You immediately feel welcome and comfortable here Gladly again

Super delicious food, also suitable for vegetarians. Would go there again and again.

This is the best afghan restaurant I’ve been in Munich. The food makes you fly!

Very tasty food and good portions. Nice and fast service. We were completely happy.

Very tasty dishes! My absolute favorite restaurant

Time: Friday, August 30, 2024, at six thirty in the evening. The food is very delicious and worth trying again, but the problem is not the food. The rating is two stars for the food only, so as not to be unfair to the wonderful chef. When we arrived at the restaurant, the waiter - wearing a hair band - asked us about the reservation and we said that we did not have a reservation and he could have apologized to us, but he allowed us to sit down and when we ordered, we waited 40 minutes for our food to arrive, knowing that many customers came after us and started eating before us. My wife asked him for wet wipes and he said she could wash her hands in the bathroom - important information! - After that, when the account arrived and I paid, he told me that he wanted tips - in exchange for the great service - but I refused, and then he began speaking to me in a strange tone, a mixture of sarcasm and anger. For the first time in my life, I have given a low rating, but I ask the restaurant management to confirm what happened and to ensure that this situation does not happen to anyone but us.

Amazing food with great service I would highly recommend this place!

Rather small shop, a bit off on a side street. A reservation is therefore recommended. The ambience is harmonious. The drinks are all delicious. I recommend the Hewad spritz. The starters were to die for. The main course was also very tasty and sufficient. The last positive surprise was the bill. Where else in Munich can you dine so deliciously and for less than 100 euros for 2 people with a starter, main course and 4 drinks?! I give my absolute recommendation to try this restaurant!

Delicious & diverse menu with many choices of entrees, Salads, chicken, Lamb & beef with Afghani bread & basmati rice. Spicy & authentic food. They have desserts and teas. Seating is limited so booking in advance is a must. Main dishes took a bit while to prepare & may be we were eating salads & entrees fast.

The small, family-run restaurant is located in a quiet street between the Sendlinger Tor and the synagogue and you are well advised to always reserve in advance, as it is busy in summer and winter. After the first visit, every guest knows why - the various dishes (chicken/lamb/beef/vegetarian & vegan) are all fantastically prepared, perfectly seasoned and simply taste great. Added to this is the relaxed, friendly service and the nice atmosphere of the simply furnished restaurant. Absolutely recommended! ⭐️

Highly recommended! We tried the place out of curiosity and were more than satisfied with our visit! It is a small restaurant (it is best to reserve in advance) with very friendly service. The food is very spicy, authentic and very tasty! Thank you for your hospitality and best regards from Berlin.

Open from 5:00 p.m. Was there at 5:05 p.m. and was sent out into the rain again with the request to wait because they were still preparing. That's a no-go in the catering industry, you don't send a guest back out the door, especially not when it's raining. He is offered a place. Or you can simply prepare on time by the specified opening time, that would be the easiest.

Very good food and very friendly and courteous staff

Very nice little restaurant with extremely friendly and attentive staff. The food was excellent. I'll definitely go here again.

I ordered a dish based on lamb, Korme Shirin, and I came across pieces of beef, like a stew, easily recognizable by their fibers. I complained to the waiter, who assured me that it was lamb. In short, he really took me for a fool. And I should have taken a photo. Damage.

Beware: Food was great. We went off the google reviews. Got a table right away. Thought the prices were a bit high - but that's OK. Basic menu but very tasty. When it came time to pay - two people in our party felt very threatened after not leaving a tip. So - if you go - the food is great. The atmosphere is ok. But the service needs some help - and be prepared to tip.

The food is top. Likewise the drinks. Great ambience in the smallest of surroundings. Service so-so. If you notice it will be good. But you should signal a little more penetratingly that you have a wish ;-) You are very busy with yourself and less with the guests.

Simply outstanding! A family business with excellent cuisine, extremely friendly and helpful staff, and a quiet atmosphere. Definitely recommended.

Delicious food and fast service

Very friendly crew! They didn't hurry us to leave the table even we stayed over time. The stewed chicken in the combination menu (with rice/spinach) tasted very good. The meat was tender and the portion was big enough for me as a foody girl. I also liked their mango yogurt drink, it had an appropriate consistency and was not too watery.

It was delicious, I loved the rice 🍚🇦🇫😋

Food is amazing. The service though, everything was fine until we asked for tapped water and they refused arguing that they can just serve tap water if.you order a bottle of wine (we ordered a lot of food). The waiter got super defensive and unreasonable after we insisted. The rest of the evening he kept staring at us and refused to talk to us. The food is amazing, but the service very unfortunate.
