Indian Restaurant Samrat in München

Unbelievable delicious food! Butter chicken is excellent! We’ve ordered once as well and was great! Small restaurant but great food. Also great price point

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!

Good Indian food. Service was fast and friendly. In a quiet neighborhood, away from the tourist spots. Highly recommend.

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.

Very tasty - I recommend the afternoon sun!

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...

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

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

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

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.

Amazing indian food!! The owners are extremely hospitality and welcoming. The daal makhani, veg thali and chicken jalfrezi were all delicious!!

Its not indian. Its Pakistani b

Very good food I had the chicken tikka Staff is also great here, very, very nice!

Very nice staff and the food is great!!!!

The food is good, but could be presented better.

Friendliness and cleanliness are zero never again I wouldn't recommend any.👎👎👎👎👎👎

We were physically attacked by the owner on the day of the CSD because we wanted to go to the bathroom and didn't know that you would have had to PAY to go to the bathroom on the day of a parade. Disgusting owner, I had to take a shower when he touched me. Very negative experience, I wouldn't even eat in this hole for free.

Very rude and even aggressive staff. Mainly only sees dollar signs in customers. Clearly not a recommendation

Today afternoon we went there at 235 pm They were winding up the afternoon shift and were closed.. Had a word with the owner Mr Johar who after hearing me out said pl welcome and order .. we had a stupendous meal (one of the best in this part of the world) the owner’s wife too was very polite and helpful

As it states on the menu, beef masala is indeed very delicious

INDIAN GUESTS TREATED POORLY I am on a business trip and wanted to try Indian cuisine and went to Samrat based on the overall positive reviews. My personal experience was less than satisfactory. I typically do not complain about bad food but it is unsatisfactory service that really bothers me. Let me quickly get the food quality out of the way first. I ordered vegetable pakoras (picture attached) which were simply dripping with oil and the cauliflower pakora had raw batter (besan) inside it. The main course was vegetarian thali. The roti and rice were prepared well. The vegetables were way over cooked, too spicy with just tomatoes overpowering any other flavor. Back to the service: It seems to be a family run business. I was served by a lady in a black dress. There was zero eye contact, zero smiles, zero pleasantries of any kind while I sat myself down. Even when serving me the meal, she literally looked the other way. I even said "thank you" to her but she never acknowledged it by as much as a look back or a smile. For payment, I asked her if they accepted a certain credit card. I asked her in English (because I cannot speak German). Then I asked her in Hindi (because the family was speaking fluent Punjabi amongst themselves, and it is very similar to Hindi) but she simply frowned and pointed a finger at me to go inside. I noticed the other server and the owner and none of them had a pleasant demeanor you would expect from someone in the hospitality industry. It is possible that they save this kind of indifferent/border-line rude behavior for fellow Indians (unfortunately, a common enough practice in the Indian restaurant industry outside of India) but it would be much worse if they behave like this with all their guests. Treat everyone with respect and make it an enjoyable experience for your guests. P.S. I noticed looking at other reviews that the "Samrat Team" only acknowledges/thanks people who post positive reviews. All the critical reviews are simply unacknowledged. That should also tell you a lot about their professionalism or lack thereof.

The best Indian restaurant in Munich! I've tried several Indian restaurants, but Samrat is by far the best! Big praise to the excellent chef and the very nice waitresses. Absolutely recommended.

Very nice restaurant. The food arrived very quickly after ordering and tasted very good. The portions could perhaps be a bit larger, but in my opinion it was good value for money. The naan was the best naan I have eaten in a long time. The service was quick and friendly. Can only recommend the restaurant.

Best Indian in Munich with the best price-performance ratio. Best mango lassi I've ever had! Nice to sit outside. Very nice owners.

The food is very tasty and the price-performance ratio is also good. I was there with the Munich Schlemmerblock and the owner and the waitress were super nice! I can only recommend!

We became aware of the restaurant through a voucher booklet and were totally thrilled. The restaurant had a super pleasant atmosphere, the food was delicious and we were served extremely friendly by the staff. We will definitely come here to eat again!

The most unfriendly restaurant, I wanted to buy something to go to the toilet and he didn't let me

I've been to India many times and it's a shame compared to this

Incredibly nice and lovely staff, great food

Very tasty food, very accommodating and friendly.

Very friendly and super tasty 👌 We all felt very comfortable. definitely come back

Don't go here. Not recommended. Black listed. No words or no reviews can damage this restaurant more than the waitress serving there. The lady is so unwelcoming and rude. I wonder what they're going through. Why are they even serving food to people ? THIS IS NOT WHAT INDIAN FOOD TASTES LIKE. Don't ruin your meal or party or evening by eating here.

Not the best, biriani was very spicy.

Such delicious indian food in the heart of Munich! We had been craving ghar ka khaana and we were so thrilled to have it here at Samrat. Finger licking good! And such a happy interaction with the owner . Thank you so much!

UNic Service good food best indian

My most recent visit to the Samrat restaurant in Munich was a complete success – both in terms of cuisine and atmosphere. The menu offers an excellent selection of traditional Indian dishes, prepared with fresh ingredients and an ideal blend of spices. The butter chicken is particularly recommended; It impresses with its tender chicken and creamy sauce. I can also recommend the Keema Naan as an insider tip! The atmosphere in the restaurant is warm and inviting, complemented by authentic decoration that perfectly captures the Indian flair. The service at Samrat is also exceptional. The attentive staff strives to make each guest's stay special by explaining dishes in detail and catering to individual preferences. In short, Samrat is a real asset to Munich and an absolute must for anyone who wants to enjoy real Indian cuisine in a truly hospitable environment. A highlight for every gourmet!

Best Indian food in Munich was perfect

Don't go if you are missing Indian food, go if you want to try Indian food. Food is alright, mango lassi was good. The starter dish came after main dish. Service is poor, especially for Indians. The only feeling of home was that lady spoke in Hindi. Otherwise, if you are Indian, you are likely to be treated as 2nd class customers. The lady at the counter lied to me on my face. My friend booked the table for 5 at 9:45 PM. I clearly remember because I had suggested the time as we were traveling by train. We reached around 9:50. When food did not arrive at 10.45, I asked the lady and she said you were late because the booking was for 9 PM. A plate had something in it and wheI asked for replacement, she said ohh, it's fine. She later replaced it. I would not recommend to any Indian in Munich to go here.

Suitable for Europeans. I would not recommend it to Indians for following reasons. 1. Food taste is below average. You order Chicken tikka, they give you tandoori. 2. Food has slightly sweet taste. No concept of green chutney. They serve red chutney which was sweet 3. Indian diners are not treated well. Orders are taken late and food is also served late. All dinners had their table candle lit by waitress. But she didn't bother to do it for our table 4. Avoid going after 9:30pm if at all. We had a bad experience. We had checked reviews before going to the restaurant but to our surprise we hardly got attention. We wanted to give the waitress benefit of doubt. But the order was not taken for some time. After ordering we waited for food half an hour. We had to go to the reception to ask about the order. We were slammed that we arrived late. We later read few other rating from Indian customers. We had exactly same experience as others. We hoped food atleast would be good. But except for the the mango lassi and dal I didn't like anything. Any additional cutlery requested was not provided. The waitress tried to be courteous later but the damage was done!

1 star because there is no option for negative rating. We ordered a vegetarian thali and they served us chicken. On raising this issue the owner said its okay you ate by mistake thats no problem. How can it not be a problem ? You have played with our religious beliefs and how dare you say that it’s okay ? Utter nonsense. Instead of accepting their mistake they casually said mistakes happen it’s no big deal. Please do not go to this restaurant

Lady was rude .Worst Experience.We ordered vegetarian food, and the order was taken accordingly. We received the thali and started our meal expecting only vegetarian dishes, as it's an Indian restaurant. However, to our dismay, they served non-vegetarian food. When we informed them, they dismissed it as a mistake without any apology. As an Indian, I expected them to understand and respect our cultural and religious beliefs, but they were reluctant and rude. I advise against visiting this restaurant, Samrat in Munich, as they don't show respect for Indian culture and religious beliefs. #CulturalDisrespect #VegetarianDilemma # #IndianCuisine #SamratMunich #CulturalAwarenessNeeded The lady was rude.

Not up to the mark Indian food, food was not even properly cooked and not a great quality.

Food is bad. And workers very rude

Service a little long (but on a Friday evening that's not surprising), but the meal was worth it. I recommend

This is a wonderful restaurant with great food, incredible atmosphere and a friendly owner who got us our food very fast. We ordered thali and it was incredibly good. You need to come here to eat great food.

Very good food, well seasoned. We tested the restaurant using a voucher booklet, a real stroke of luck. We will be back. Outside in the Schanigarten you can easily observe the colorful traffic...

The lady was rude. Chai was overcooked so tasted bitter and strangely also salty. I drink Chai latte very often. This one is the worst I ever have. Naan was burned and tasted like the dough was not prepared well. I was treated unwell either. All experience was not worth the money.

Amazing food, impeccable service, and charming ambiance at Indian Restaurant Samrat – a culinary masterpiece! Highly recommend for anyone looking to indulge in an unforgettable dining experience.

We had the Chicken Madras, Paneer Karahi and Bhindi Masala. Every dish had a lot of flavour with good portion to each dish. The service and staff is very friendly and kind, made us feel like home. Must recommended!

Pathetic experience. I came to Munich and this was the first place I visited. It felt like a tourist trap because of the entire atmosphere around. The lady who took our order and served us wasn't a little bit happy to see us. There was only 1 table with locals there and we arrived as a group of 3. She wasn't professional and was talking rudely as if she was doing us a favour. Another Indian couple came to the restaurant and she was talking to them in the same tone. However, to everyone's surprise she was happy talking to the locals. But she made sure that the two tables with Indians rethink about their decision to come there. My friend wanted to use the restroom and she didn't even guide her when she was confused and kept looking at her. My friend entered the kitchen by mistake and then she came back and found her still looking at her. How pathetic is this. 10 minutes before closing the restaurant, while we were finishing up, she came to tell us that " you have only 10 minutes to finish, we are closing". And she wasn't polite in telling this. Even though we knew this because we checked the time and were there almost 45 minutes before closing, she never told us when we ordered the food. And we were not even keen on spending extra time there, given the atmosphere. Another couple asked them to Pack leftover rice and she told them how do i pack this little rice. TBH it still was 1/3rd left. Given all this, the food was okay and definitely average. Both the gravies Shahi paneer and chicken tikka were sweet. Dal was however good. I would never visit them again would not recommend this at any cost. They should learn about hospitality and basic social skills. Sorry about the rant but the lady deserves to understand that she should treat people better in this line of work.

Honest review from Indians- Worst experience of my entire Munich trip. Ordered 3 main course dishes, 2 of them were extremely sweet. Paid a hell lot of money for the food which hurt a lot but what was more hurtful was the behaviour of the lady serving the food. She was very rude from the beginning to end to me and my friends. At first we gave her the benefit of doubt and let this behaviour slide thinking she might be having a rough day! But then we saw her behaving extra friendly towards localities dining in with us. Another indian couple walked in and got the same treatment as we got. The restaurant was closing soon so she came and asked us to wrap up quickly not in a gentle manner but like with a “get lost” kind of attitude! The couple on the other table politely requested her to pack their rice to which she REFUSED saying “who takes away this little rice! This cannot be packed!” They paid in full for their food and were told the food cannot be packed! All of us let everything go at that moment given we were visiting a new place and as she looked like a motherly figure! Having that said, it is not something that you expect when you pay 75€ for food that is extremely sweet, food you are not allowed to pack and such rude attitude that spoils your entire mood for the day! Still confused why only indians were treated so rudely!

This is gonna be harsh but it's the truth.I vouch for these reviews regarding the service quality. YOU CANNOT ASK FOR MONEY WHEN YOU GIVE THE WORST SERVICE. The lady is rude and her behavior towards the customers is arrogant. I do not recommend this restaurant at all please be careful! It's your money spend it wisely do not waste it by visiting this restaurant!

The service lady is very arrogant. What you expect in a good rated restaurant is good service. She was really rude while serving, also refused to pack leftover food initially stating "this is so less, who can even pack it". Really disappointed with the vibe, she was not friendly and welcoming at all. Would never recommend this place to anyone. Moreover, this is the worst restaurant I've ever been to (in terms of service ONLY).

Waited tooo long for the food Was NOT spicy at all, it was sweet!

Very nice host and service. We chatted briefly at the end. As fans of Indian cuisine, we were very satisfied and can recommend Samrat to everyone with a clear conscience.

All in all we wouldn't go there again. One of the 2 naan was mostly burnt. Some of the starter plates also looked very dark. Despite previous requests, the vegetable curry was spicy and went back. A non-spicy version was delivered quite carelessly. 2 espressos were slammed onto the table from the side somewhere. One of the two waitresses was listless and snotty in person, the other was a bit more open, but not in the way you would like as a guest. No recommendation from us. A pity!

Quick, pleasant service, delicious food. Just perfect.

I've ordered here before. The food was always quite tasty, but EVERY time something from my order was forgotten. It's a shame, but that's why I won't be ordering here anymore.

The visit was disappointing. The food was only spicy, otherwise you didn't taste anything. Even the drinks didn't convince us. The restaurant has tight seating. I had my neighbor's jacket on my face as I walked and my bag was almost in my food. The service was nice, that's the only positive thing to report. I will not eat or order food here again.

Two days ago I went there for lunch and had Samosas and the Chicken Korma. The Samosas were fine but a bit on the overpowering spicy side for me personally. The Chicken Korma was fantastic 😍 I enjoyed every bite of it and the portion was really good, too. The service was very friendly and casual. The restaurant itself is a bit on the older side but that has it's charm as well 😉 For the food I'd come again, if I come back to visit Munich. 😋

The best Indian in all of Munich!!! Simply outstanding food! 😍 Special requests are always taken into account when ordering online.

Very nice people, delicious food and great service 👍🏼

I went there twice in the last three days, once for dinner and once for lunch. The serving attitude at lunch was very casual, to the point of rude. The food was served on the table without a word. Especially in Germany this is surprising and to mind mind unacceptable.

We were there at lunchtime with the voucher book. Were served quickly and well. The food was good and nicely seasoned.

The food is good, the service fast and the atmosphere pleasant. However, they added a tip of 10% to the bill, completely independently and without asking or saying anything. Not that it was undeserved but to be fair they can't do it independently. They then tried to make up for it by trying to offer us a dessert but the gaffe had already been made. P.s. mention the usual "problem" in Monaco where you spend €6-7 for each bottle of water (0.75 L). Maybe offering tap water as an alternative (which is excellent) wouldn't hurt.

The food was really very good and the service was also great.

I really enjoyed the service . The food is very nice and I still order any chance I get . Lovely ambiance.😍👏

Food 🥘: wonderful! We haven’t had a mango chicken and tikka masala like this in Munich yet, reasonably fairly priced as well. Service 🤵🏽‍♀️: we have had better and friendlier service at Indian restaurants, but the food was ready very quickly. Atmosphere 🏺: more formal than usual for Indian which is not bad, but we have had more “Indian” in Munich before.

We received a very friendly welcome, the service was great, and the price-performance ratio was also very good. Will be visiting the restaurant regularly soon

Worst experience ever since I eat food in Germany among all Indian restaurants. Worst food small serving waste of money waste of time . Service was too slow , very expensive according to the taste was worst they made sweet too sweet shahi paneer , worst mix vegetables ever rices was unfreshed .overall not recommended to go to waste your money little serving 35 euros for two less and tasteless food . Service was slow this is an honest review

The food was very good and the staff friendly. I found it a bit expensive there

The food tastes really good. The Service is really nice even the waitress brought us drinks after the meal. The atmosphere is cosy and comfortable.

Best Indian in town 👌🏼 authentic and insanely delicious! We always order here and the food arrives warm and clean.

Everything was great, very tasty, will come again 👍

I am a very satisfied regular customer here; Owners and staff always friendly and helpful; Eating is quick and always fresh, tasty and wholesome; central location; in summer with a small beer garden; highly recommended; thank you, keep it up and see you soon 👍🍀👍😘

Our recent takeout (via Lieferando) experience was far from satisfactory. To my dismay, I found hairs in the food upon opening one of the containers. The lack of attention to cleanliness is unacceptable, and despite reporting the issue, the response from the staff was underwhelming. This experience has left me with serious doubts about the hygiene standards of the restaurant, and I cannot recommend it based on this unfortunate incident. I'll not come back and I do not recomend people to order from here.

Unfortunately not quite my case...

This restaurant offers the best Indian food in Germany but make sure you don’t get one particular waitress. This waitress appeared to be drunk while working and had an attitude. This women had the audacity to charge us the wrong amount and then proceeds to get mad and start pointing fingers at my face being really rude. If you go to this place make sure you pay attention to your receipt. If I was the owner of this restaurant I will kick this waitress, the place is fantastic but except the customer service of this particular women.

Sehr gutes Essen. Grosse Auswahl. Es könnte nicht besser sein. Der Service wirkte etwas gelangweilt.

Sehr lecker, freundlicher Service und auch für Kinder nicht zu scharf.

Ein sehr liebevoll eingerichtetes indisches Restaurant mit hervorragender Speisequalität (hatte das Gericht 79)

The best indian food i have ever had so far. We had butter chicken, fish curry, prawns curry, chicken vindaloo and rice.

Had dinner here on Christmas eve. Most places are closed this day in Munich but thankfully they were open and had a table for our party of six available. Food was amazing and service was very efficient. Ambiance was cozy and nice. We had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Jalfrezi, Butter Chicken, different starters and types of naan. Portions were generous. These plates came with abundant basmati rice. The mango lassies and Mango cream dessert were EXCELLENT! We left a phone there and we were able to retrieve it the next day. Thank you for everything!

Food was amazing, staff was friendly and helpful! Great experience!!
