Indian Restaurant Samrat in München

I gave everything 5 stars because the atmosphere was very cozy, the service was very nice, transparent and fast, and the food tasted very, very, very good.

The owner’s behavior was outrageous. He flat-out refused to serve us, went on a pointless rant about unit costs, and interrogated us about where we had dinner and why we didn’t drink tea there. When I said we ate at home, he actually responded, “Then why did you even leave home?” His attitude was hostile, intrusive, and completely unprofessional. The glowing reviews don’t match the reality at all, and this experience made it clear that those reviews aren’t worth trusting.

Gutte essen Neat and clean restaurant Staff baheviour well behaved

I ordered food here and it was absolutely delicious!!! Highly recommended! 😍 I had butter chicken and garlic naan. 🫓 ❤️ I'll definitely order food from here again. I can't comment on the restaurant itself. ☺️

We spontaneously got a table on Friday evening 😊 The seating was cozy and comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The food (butter chicken and mutton korma) was good, and the mango lassi and garlic bread were excellent! 🙂 It's in a great location, not far from Sendlinger Tor/Asam district, and easy to combine with other activities.

Good food and friendly service.

Super delicious Indian food at very fair prices! The dishes are fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive—you immediately feel welcome. Highly recommended, I'll definitely be back! 🙌🍛

Delicious food, friendly and attentive service, and a great atmosphere :) I'd love to go back!

I love butter chicken, and I think I've had the best butter chicken yet! Amazing food, beautifully presented, hot, and incredibly tasty!

The reception was pleasant, the food arrived quickly, and it's highly recommended. Unfortunately, after serving, no one came by to ask about our further requests. So we were left high and dry and left early. Overall, though, it's highly recommended.

An authentic Indian restaurant run by a family. Quite spicy by European standards, but the food is very good.

If we could, we'd give it more than five stars! Highly recommended, excellent and authentic Indian food! The restaurant was packed for a reason.

best india restaurant ever been

Very cozy. Great service. The food is delicious. Prices are also very fair! We'll definitely be back.

Super rude personal! No Ambiente… the food is alright

Authentic food, cozy atmosphere, and really friendly and sweet staff :) been here 6+ times and it has always been amazing

Everyone feels comfortable here ❤️

I love, love, love this Indian restaurant! Especially in summer, the outdoor seating is really cozy, the service is top-notch, and most importantly: it's absolutely delicious!

I haven't had such a good Indian meal in Munich in a long time. I asked for a typical tandoori dish and got tandoori chicken (No. 21), and it was exactly how I like it: beautifully spiced, wonderfully juicy inside, with great sauces. The rest was a rice dish with vegetables that was only a little spicy. Delicious lassi to go with it. Very fair prices and very friendly service. Highly recommended!

- Very courteous and helpful service - Very central location and easily accessible by public transport - High-quality dishes and highly recommended - Well-seasoned - Appetizers are also varied and delicious - The ambiance is exactly what you'd expect: cozy and pleasant - Desserts are also delicious

Awesome awesome! Delicious food and great service. The owners were so welcoming and we enjoyed the food. They were closing but gave us a table last minute. Such sweet lady and owner!

So so so so good!!! Such friendly staff, now our regular!

Super delicious and friendly owners!

I went with my best friend today, but unfortunately, we didn't enjoy the food! Strangely, I wasn't a customer. The lady who served us was also very rude. Never again. There are better Indian restaurants :)

The mango lassi and vegetarian samosas were delicious. I ordered yellow lentils and was served black lentils in a brown sauce, which I can't recommend at all.

Very delicious food with nice servers.. The owner and his wife are very nice 👍🏻

Decent food, rude service. They almost drove us out while eating, citing they were closing. Why let us in if they were closing in 15 mins. The lady who served us kept staring at our table. When we questioned about their behavior, they fought with our family until the door. Would never visit again.

I recently ate at Samrat and was pleasantly surprised. The dishes were fresh, well-seasoned, and very tasty. I particularly enjoyed the butter chicken, which was nice and creamy and not too spicy. The naan bread was also great, warm and fluffy, just as it should be. The portions were generous, and the price was absolutely fair. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive.

Had wondeful dining exp with my son ,food was very tasty and ambiance is excellnet.

The food is delicious, honestly. I had Peter Chicken and Masala, and they were delicious. The rice wasn't the best. The service was nice, but not the best. The prices were average to high, approximately.

Family-run restaurant with classic charm and very friendly staff, really good and delicious cuisine at a fair price.

Such nice people and the food is incredibly delicious. Great for kids! The portions are very generous.

Very good food, and a very nice and service-minded waiter! Recommended!

Super service and great good well worth a visit..

We had lunch here. The staff was very friendly and explained everything well. The food was good, but not 100% authentic for us; we've had better here in the past. However, the quality was very good for us. The quantity was large, especially since we ordered naan bread and were still served rice. Our tip: ask if you want salad and rice. We can recommend this restaurant.

I came here because of the good reviews and it did not disappoint. Loved the butter chicken, mango lassi and naan. We also got chicken korma which was very mild but still yummy

Very tasty! Despite being on the main street, the atmosphere is super relaxed and the service is great. 10/10

Nice Indian restaurant with a good selection of dishes! I tried the Navratan Kurma with rice, plain naan, Peshwari naan (sweet and flavorful), and Vegetable Biryani with raita. The biryani was excellent in taste — aromatic and well-cooked — but the only downside is that they didn’t use basmati rice. If they had, it could have easily been the star of the meal. The naan and Peshwari naan were soft and tasty, though we ordered two naans and received three pieces — which was a bit unclear. The raita was thick, creamy, and very tasty. The Navratan Kurma curry was decent but could be improved with a few adjustments. The restaurant stays open until 11:30 PM, which is a big plus for night travelers. The ambiance gives a warm feel of Indian culture, and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

The food is very testy and service is also good highly recommend

Delivered hot & fast but has nothing to do with Indian food.

Absolutely fantastic! The food here at Samrat was really great, the service was friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the location is convenient. I had a mango lassi, butter chicken, and garlic naan (pretty boring in itself), but I was more than satisfied with all of them. The food was served on a hot plate and stayed warm the whole time, even on a chilly evening. The meat was tender, the sauce was strong but still light, the rice wasn't sticky, and the lassi was fruity. I would order the same meal again in a heartbeat. Maybe an appetizer to try that too. Apart from the rather noisy location (+ the fire station across the street), I really can't think of anything that could be improved. If you're craving Indian food between the Isar suburbs and the city center, this is a great place to go.

Highly recommend the Shaahi Paneer. Usually in Munich, the Shaahi Paneer is too sweet, almost as if I’m having a dessert but Samrat has really done a great job bringing that perfect balance. Excellent service too.

In the middle of the city but still pretty quiet, with a cozy outdoor dining area. The starters were very good, all 5 main courses were very good and digestible. Since we were there with three children, it was very kind of the lady who served us to ask how spicy the dishes could be. One of the sauces was served extra mild for our youngest. The mango dessert was very delicious! In the words of our 10 year old son: “it was THE highlight of the week!!”. If we find our way to Munich from Austria again, we'll be happy to come by again!

Super delicious!!! Price performance really fits. Very nice service!

The food was very good and the service was also friendly. It also happened very quickly

Ordered there many times. Never been disappointed. Always delicious!

Samrat truly exceeded our expectations - we enjoyed a wonderful evening with delightful dishes tailored to everyone's preferences—they happily adjust the spiciness to your liking. The service was warm and attentive without being intrusive, which we appreciated. I believe it's a family-run business, adding to its charm. I was particularly impressed by the extensive wine list, which offered a perfect pairing for every dish. The restaurant was extremely clean, pleasant music is being played quietly, there are no unpleasant smells in the room - overall a very nice dining experience. I'd recommend this place also if you want to take your favorite lady out for a date. Thanks again to the team for the nice evening!

Well-attended restaurant. Starter was very tasty, the chai was ok. The main course was tasty, but the mango cream was better.

The cuisine is generally not bad, but if an Indian restaurant offers a thali with three small pots for a completely overpriced EUR 16.30, which are filled with contents that are currently on the stove and only fill you up with the filling side dish of rice, and have nothing in common with a thali, you should avoid this restaurant. In addition, when I asked if there was no compulsory yoghurt served, the answer was that yoghurt could only be served in a thali for two people. So if you don't have to worry about your wallet and don't value original recipes from Indian cuisine, you can definitely be satisfied here, or you can choose the much better offers from some very good alternatives nearby... My first and last visit...

The food was not what you are used to with Indians. Few spices, lots of Mondaminfix sauce thickener. We were seated carelessly and processed in 25 minutes. No please or thank you, instead they constantly checked to see if we had finally finished eating and asked directly how we wanted to pay. The lassi cups were still half full and the knife and fork were still in their hands. The people next to us were almost finished eating when we arrived, but had to pay right after us. Others came later and were still eating when we left. Apparently they were from the neighborhood. We often go to the Indian restaurant on the corner in Rosenheim. It may not be more inviting, but the food is good and they are happy about every customer. Mango Lassi - Clear recommendation. Otherwise: We won't be coming back.

Papa Schmid Str 1 Munich Highly recommended! Nice staff

delicious Indian food, generous portion and all tasty. We got the chicken tikka, chicken tikka masala, malai kofta, mixed veggies and naan. The two chicken tikka dishes were a happy accident as the chicken tikka with the malai kofta coconut sauce was delicious. We did not have reservations and they were able to accommodate us.

An authentic and incredibly delicious Indian restaurant! Almost all dishes are gluten-free because the owner herself avoids gluten. A true paradise for celiacs! :)

Amazing curry and family, super spicy for the English

We had two paneer dishes. Palak paneer was with frozen spinach. The second dish is a watery soup made from pureed tomatoes, cream and almond butter. The dishes are relatively cheap for the location but still too high for the quality of the food

Here again it is shown that you do not have to go to a super fancy restaurant for the best food. The flavors of the dishes are perfect and if you want you can make it as spicy as you want. The service is very attentive and not pushy. The interior appearance is quite basic, but in the end it is always about the service and the quality and that is 5 stars.

We were 2 people and ordered a non vegetarian thali with aloo paratha and Dal makhani. The food was appropriately warm and very tasty. The portion size was also good. The owners are also very nice and warm people. We found the overall experience great and would definitely recommend it for the Indian food.

Very busy restaurant. But unfortunately the service suffers. Some of the food was already burnt, the pina colada was a strange recipe and not creamy and the service was very hectic and inattentive. Too bad

Large selection of dishes and super tasty!

Food is amazing and service is top class. On a Sunday night, our food was prepared after ordering - very tasty, very fresh. Gulaab Jamoon is must try.

Really delicious food and a really friendly waitress! :)

Unfortunately I can't understand the good reviews here. Even the reception by the woman with the poncho was unpleasant. Their angry looks at our dog, who was lying quietly next to the table, as well as the unfriendly request to change places, immediately got us off to a bad start. The service seemed hectic and not attentive. Our plates were cleared away immediately without asking for any further requests. The food was acceptable, but by no means special. Both hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere were missing. I will definitely not visit this restaurant again.

Small nice restaurant. Great ambience. Salad and the mixed starter for one person were very good and large portions. The main courses, chicken tikka and beef masala, were extremely tasty. The meat is very tender and has sauce to soak in. Garlic naan and regular naan was also very good. Rarely have I had such good Indian food.

Super quick Service and delicious food

I ate the mixed pakoras and the thali for 1 person. It was perfect! I was welcomed so warmly, as if I was family. I'm looking forward to next time! Thank you!

Unfortunately the beef is a bit hard, even the second time lamb and tandoori with chicken was good! Service very good, friendly and also humorous!

Sehr leckere und authentische indische Küche! Uns hat es wirklich gut geschmeckt und die Portionen waren groß - wir kommen zu 100% wieder!

Friendly service with a warm smile, large selection of dishes and very tasty naan bread.

Traditional Indian restaurant with very good food, attentive service and good romantic portions

Very nice landlady with knowledge of how much you need. Looks good inside, you just have a view of the street. Excellent food and good chef. Very good and fast service.

We became aware of the restaurant through the Schlemmerblock and are very enthusiastic. The lassis are highly recommended. We had mango and banana. The banana chicken is also recommended. The portion size of the thalis is sufficient. Ambiance is cute, small, but very authentic. The service was impeccable. We'll be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An absolute classic! If you want authentic Indian food, this is the place for you. The food always tastes good, the service is quick, friendly and courteous, and the prices are fair. We're always happy to come back!

Food is a bit spicy, but still very tasty. Soup or salad is only available when eaten in the restaurant. Very tasty mango lassi! Excellent service! Only recommended.

A very nice traditional Indian restaurant. The food was amazing with plenty of vegetarian options. The staff were very polite, friendly and efficient. The service was quick and the restaurant had a nice relaxing ambience. I would highly recommend a visit whilst in Munich .

Comida deliciosa increíble! ¡El pollo con mantequilla es excelente! Hemos pedido una vez también y fue genial! Pequeño restaurante pero buena comida. También gran punto de precio

Good food. Good ambience. Great people. They were happy to customize my food according to my requirements even if it was not there in the menu. They were very friendly and provided great service. The food was also good and it was the best Indian food and ambience I experienced in Munich. Definitely recommend!

Buena comida india. El servicio fue rápido y amable. En un barrio tranquilo, lejos de los puntos turísticos. Muy recomendable.

Very nice service. Delicious authentic Indian cuisine. The food was very tasty, but could have been presented a little nicer. I ordered a Pina Colada that didn't taste good at all. So if you skip the cocktails, then it is a recommended restaurant.

Delicious food, very fair prices, excellent service! We'd love to come back :)

Highly recommend butter chicken

Since our review from April was deleted with flimsy arguments, here is our impression again: Unfortunately, the visit to the restaurant was a total failure. Above all, the service and the refusal to accept our voucher were disastrous. The restaurant itself is rather uncomfortable and cramped. The food wasn't much better. Overall, unfortunately, a strange impression and you didn't feel welcome. The photo as proof that we were really there, because that was the last time the restaurant used it as “evidence” to have the bad review deleted.

Update: I have been instructed to delete my review, including threats of legal action. The other negative reviews have disappeared. I was probably the only one who resisted it. Here is my original review: We ordered in the evening via Lieferando - 1x chicken, 2x vegetarian. Unfortunately, the food tasted very boring: the dishes were all quite unspectacularly seasoned. Two sauces were the same. You can get more for the same money somewhere else...

Very tasty - I recommend the afternoon sun!

A very nice, small Indian restaurant, clean (including the toilets), delicious food (my husband and I particularly liked the mango cream dessert with vanilla ice cream) and very friendly and attentive service. The prices were also real. We really enjoyed our visit (on a Sunday lunchtime in August). We can definitely recommend it!

Great food, fast service, friendly staff. I also had chai and it was really delicious

We tried the lunch menu here. The service staff seemed like we were bothering her - even though we were the only guests. The portions were surprisingly small, so it was hard to feel full. And after paying the bill by card, I asked for an invoice. Only after the printout did it become clear that the waitress had overcharged us €2 - for two meals and one drink. A 2 euro coin was handed to me without a word and the waitress disappeared again. Are we coming back? Rather not...

Wir haben hier den Mittagstisch ausprobiert. Die Servicemitarbeiterin machte den Eindruck, als ob wir sie stören würden - obwohl wir die einzigen Gäste waren. Die Portionen waren überraschend klein, so dass man kaum satt geworden ist. Und nachdem ich die Rechnung per Karte bezahlt hatte, bat ich um eine Rechnung. Erst nach dem Ausdruck wurde deutlich, dass die Bedienung uns 2 € zu viel berechnet hatte - bei 2 Essen und 1 Getränk. Wortlos wurde mir eine 2-Euro-Münze in die Hand gedrückt und die Bedienung ist wieder verschwunden. Kommen wir wieder? Eher nicht...

A very polite staff at the entrance. The waitress comes towards me and asks me “a person”? Which in itself is completely OK. When I very kindly asked to go to the toilet. This was immediately denied and the sign was pointed out to customers only. Alright, then I went in and ordered a little water. The then unfriendly lady wanted to give me a large water. I said no and said again as a customer a little water please. She then called the owner over. He said the toilet was only for customers, I told him I was a customer and just wanted a glass of water which I was willing to pay for. He also said there were too many tourists and needed to clean. I mean, the restaurant has to be cleaned, whether there are one or thirty guests. I'm paying for it. I don't want anything for free! After some crazy back and forth, I got the water. Drunk, then went to the toilet and continued my sightseeing in Munich. For me personally, it's a no-go to forbid someone from doing this even though they pay. So I only give this service one star. The two women and the owner of the restaurant were affected. Unfortunately I can't give any information about the food. Please get better.

Great restaurant! Very tasty dishes and friendly and fast service.

On a warm summer evening we sat outside, it was a bit noisy from the traffic, but that wasn't too bad. The service was very attentive, friendly and accommodating. The food tasted delicious and was appetizingly prepared. The price-performance ratio was right, an absolute recommendation for someone who likes to eat Indian food.

Familiar atmosphere and super good food, by far the best Indian restaurant in Munich!

Very nice owners and very tasty food

Good Indian food but strange service, apparently don't need any sales, we came across as very inhospitable

Super tasty food! Super sweet lady who helped us! And a cozy place! Recommended anyway! Finished with a delicious pina colada.

Cheap and good food! I recommend this place for lovers of Indian food.

Super good, frankly I recommend it to you And we were served very quickly

Perfect! Friendly staff and fast service. Dishes were excellent!

Best service, Best food Definitely worth the penny :) The Service provider, the lady was amazing.She hosted us in very warm way , literally felt like home. we will definitely visit again

I visited the restaurant with my friend and we had the best time ever along with super delicious food. The service was amazing , we were hosted by a sweet lady and had a great conversation. The location is a plus . Loved it definitely.

Incredibly good food. Now my favorite place for Indian cuisine.
