Maihan Restaurant in Hamburg

Great resturand with best service and very testy food.

The food was incredibly tasty, the service was super friendly and attentive. We'll be back soon!

We were in Eppendorfer Weg yesterday and then became aware of the restaurant. My mother was a little skeptical at first. But it was a great taste experience! Lunch was super tasty. We'd love to come back. A thank you also to the attentive service. 💐👍👍👍👍👍

Super delicious food and great service!

Really great food and great service! I'll be coming 100% more often from now on! Thanks for the great evening

Really has nothing to do with Afghan food. Ashak were really like canned ravioli to my taste and nothing simple. The traditional rice supposedly had 3 raisins and a bit of carrots on it. It's just embarrassing that people like that present our food like that. The food didn't taste like anything and was simply a disaster. Pure disappointment

Food was very delicious and fresh about taste was very good and looking was very nice

Prices on the menu on the website don't seem to be correct and when you pick it up you are surprised that the food is more expensive than stated on the website. It was said that it is still being updated.

Too Germanized. No traditional Afghan food. Ashak with berries and nuts? This is not Afghan. Service great but food not Afghan.

The service was good, which is why they get 2 stars from me. The food, however, was more than disappointing. The portion of meat was really small and the meat was dry. The dumplings tasted bland. The biggest disappointment was the vegetable mix, which was supposed to consist of stewed tomatoes, eggplant and peppers. Instead we were served a supermarket vegetable mix. Something you throw into the pan after a long day at work when you need something quick, but you don't want to be served it in an Eppendorf restaurant. Sorry, but I definitely won't go there again and I really can't recommend it.

I'm speechless... Great atmosphere, very nice and attentive service. And the food was simply delicious, a fireworks display for the senses. This will be my favorite restaurant!

I’ll keep my review short, the restaurant is overrated. I tried many dishes but the meat dishes weren’t juicy, they were indeed so dry. Cocktails were served with full of ice. I am very surprised with overall rating and I didn’t enjoy at all.

The best linzensoep, everything delicious!

Quite ok. Lots of room for improvement.

First visit to this restaurant and a complete success. A small and clear menu with delicious traditional dishes. I chose the Qabuli with lamb and eggplant. Highly recommended. Cozy atmosphere and nice service.

Something different. The food was really tasty. However, the service could be a bit more professional.

Tam waited a long time but met colleagues

Great food, super nice employees!

Traveled all the way from Texas to try this place! Food was amazing and so were all the staff. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

Really delicious oriental food, great service and a nice, quiet atmosphere. We will definitely come back 😊😊

Very tasty food, definitely recommended.

Pure disaster! I ordered a dish today and picked it up. I was struck as very unpleasant at the checkout because I walk into this store and have to wait 5 minutes for someone to even take the order. Then the customer is spoken to in a very snooty way. That’s about “service”. Food took 20 minutes. When I got home I was in shock. There were actually 5 spoons in total. The food that was made for me could just as easily have been an appetizer. Totally little! Definitely not recommended.

Always a big highlight of our visits to Hamburg. Highly recommended. Please bring your appetite. The Bayreuthers

Afghan cuisine?????? !!!! I'm speechless...

Были компанией , хотели познать афганскую кухню Ничего, честно говоря, не поняли Рис, мясо, овощи, специи Если бы не знали, что национальный афганский ресторан, решили бы, что просто восточная кухня и не более. Ничего не удивило, рис был неплох, но прям мало. Порции, в принципе, не назовешь большими, мяса малооо и оно спрятано внутрь риса:) Куриное филе на шпажках откровенно пересушено. Вкусными были только манты. Обслуживание очень вялое и неторопливое, чек просили 3 раза, устали ждать. Ценник явно завышен. Желания вернуться точно нет!

As an Afghan, I really feel at home in the Maihan restaurant. The food tastes just as good as in Afghanistan! I can particularly recommend the Qabeli rice with lamb fillet and eggplant – really tasty. The Mantu are great too! The staff is very friendly and the ambience is nice and inviting. The price is also absolutely fair. If you like Afghan cuisine, you should definitely stop by here.

We really liked it! Thank you for the delicious food and the friendly service! Wish you continued good business!

Very nice service and great food. A very nice restaurant, recommended.

Very tasty and authentic Afghan food!!! Super nice and friendly service, I can only recommend it :)

Best Afghan food where I can always recommend everyone

Good food vegetarian too! Fast and friendly service.

This restaurant foods are call Afghan food ,but it is not really Afghan food it’s just rubbish. Rude customer service . I complained about the food but they said it modern food The traditional food of a country can’t be modern. They don’t know what is modern. Over all I don’t recommend for any one specially Afghan to visit this restaurant to eat the testy Afghan food .

The food was rubbish. I complained about the food but they said it is modern The Ashak was very thick and it was all just dough very little vegetables inside. We ordered about 5dishes but all rubbish.

We had lunch there today, it was really bad, it didn't taste good at all and the people there were unfriendly, very bad and very expensive

I didn't know Afghan cuisine and was therefore curious. Now I'm a fan. Super nice and attentive staff, delicious food and good playlists for a great lounge-like atmosphere. The portions were huge. Good vegan selection.

We were there last night. The weather was perfect. We were greeted very friendly and shown straight to our table. The service was extremely friendly, we were served very quickly and the food came quickly. The starter and main course were perfectly timed. The food was incredibly tasty. The lamb was buttery tender and my halloumi skewer was deliciously seasoned. Salad and rice were also very delicious. The Mantu as a starter and the dips with bread were also super tasty. All in all a successful evening. The restaurant is already saved as my favorite.

Beautiful Afghan in the middle of Eppendorf. Ambiance invites you to linger. Attentive, friendly service, dishes are explained. We decided on the grill plate, just under 50 euros, and a vegetarian dish, just under 17 euros. Food is beautifully prepared. For our taste, the rice side dish was too little in relation to the grill plate. The lamb kebabs were outstanding. The other skewers were also tasty. Only the dips beforehand didn't quite grab us. Hummus has little to do with Afghan cuisine. And the taste can also be improved. But overall, good Afghan food, with great service and a nice atmosphere.

Food was very good, but we had to wait an HOUR for it...

Eat: The Dogh (yoghurt mint drink) was much too runny and full of ice cubes and for €5.90 it was much too overpriced and weak in taste. The Mantu dish was very small and only 8 pieces for a whopping €20. I think it was extremely overpriced and the taste didn't live up to the price. In various other Afghan restaurants you can get 10 pieces for €12 and are much larger and tastier. Both the lamb fillet and the chicken were on the grill for absolutely too long and were simply dry and difficult to swallow. Both dishes were burnt and overlooked with a dark crust. For €24 and €22 each. The menu on the website is no longer up to date and neither are the prices. Service: was good, only the time between starter and main course was too long at 30 minutes. You'll get full again in time. Ambiance: It was beautifully and openly furnished, but the seating was close to the neighboring table.

A really great restaurant visit! 😊 incredibly delicious food, really every dish! The ambience and service were also great! Definitely coming back!!! New favorite restaurant :)

Great restaurant! Excellent food (I particularly recommend the chicken with rice and salad @#9 on the menu). Otherwise, the service is quick and friendly and the atmosphere is very pleasant.

The food was incredibly delicious and not overpriced, the service was friendly and the atmosphere very cozy. We had the grill platter for 2 people and even took some of it home, as the portions are rather large (not complaining though!). The dips were delicious, the meat was juicy and the rice was on point. Would definitely go again 😁

Very tasty food prepared and served with a lot of love. Very fast and friendly service.

Very tasty and always beautifully presented on the plate. Absolutely recommended ❤️

The dishes were exceptionally good! I haven't eaten so well in a long time. A particularly big compliment to the chef and the very friendly, attentive and courteous staff! Very child friendly! Pleasant and cozy atmosphere! Always happy again!!!

Really great food and attentive service

Very good food, the staff was very friendly, and the interior design and ambience were very pleasant!

Always a pleasure 🇦🇫♥️ I was there for the 3rd time :) this time with work colleagues 🥰 my favorite number 1. There's nothing I can complain about. Nice reception! Delicious food, clean, everything is freshly prepared especially Mantu & Ashak. Kudos to the chef 👏🏻 Good work. Getting a table there is very difficult. Continued success 🫶

Delicious food at normal prices...nice staff...I would love to come back to try other dishes...

Wonderful food with great service 😊 That was really good! A real recommendation!! Thank you very much ☺️

I ordered kebab kubideh and dugh. I liked it and it was tasty. Everything was good 👍

Great place to eat, good food, not large but enough and tasty food with nice presentation in nice plates. We were sit quick and the food arrived fairly quickly. I ordered Kubide with kabuli, we also ordered Tikka with Kabuli. Ashak on the side. The kababls come with rice and salad, all tasty and fresh. The meat is cooked well and not seasoned too much, so you may add your own salt and perhaps pepper. Ashak was mediocre, it may not be the food I go here for next time. Doogh was fresh and yummy and Kardomom tea was good. Suggestions: Bring and leave the tea in a tray, for many reasons! Try to stay with patrons and offer them help to decide. The table beside us clearly needed help and the kind server just gave them more time. This is authentic food and not everyone knows what to order. Have picture of your nicely presented food on your menue. Ask clients maybe a bit earlier how everything is. You have a great restaurant with great food and presented well

Great service & super delicious food :)

Here I would like to emphasize that the food was excellent as always. Unfortunately, I also have to mention that I was very disappointed with the service that evening. In contrast to previous visits, the quality of service was not at the usual level. What further disappointed me is that I noticed that some guests were offered liquor or tea on the house, while we were not. This seemed unfair to me. I would like to emphasize that I really appreciate your cuisine and your restaurant and it would be a shame if such service issues affected my future visits. I therefore hope that you will take my comments seriously and take measures to restore the quality of service to the usual level.

Das Essen war sehr Lecker und traditionell. Die Bdingdung war auch top. Ich würde jeden ein Abendessen dort empfehlen.

Very nice Afghan restaurant with extremely nice staff! The dishes were very tasty and beautifully presented. Cocktail was also delicious. Unfortunately we had to wait a long time for the food and it didn't come at the same time. One of us had to wait quite a long time but then got bread and dips on the house. And a round of liquor was also handed out. The portion of vegetable skewers with halloumi could have had a little more halloumi, as it was hardly enough as a protein side dish. But everything was delicious! For the dumplings with spinach, it should be noted on the menu that they are fried. It was tasty but fried was too greasy for some guests. The terrace could be decorated a little nicer, otherwise the atmosphere was nice ☺️

Great restaurant! Reasonable prices, super tasty, friendly staff, the outside area is also nice. Large selection of vegetarian/vegan dishes! We'll definitely be back!

A big compliment to the kitchen!!!The food tastes simply delicious and is always prepared with great attention to detail. The salad is heavenly, with the berries and nuts and a sweet, delicious dressing! The meat is very tender, the minced meat skewer was perfectly seasoned and not too salty this time and the rice was cooked perfectly. This restaurant has become my favorite restaurant. The service changed and was very friendly.

Super nice restaurant, very good food, just bad acoustics, it was pretty loud.

Meman in the ski jump is actually better, so I would go there next time

Discovered by chance. We were thrilled. The reception and then the service at the table were friendly, attentive and competent. The food was extremely tasty and perfectly prepared. The ratio of meat, vegetables, salad and rice was balanced. We were more than full. The restaurant is absolutely recommended. The price-performance ratio is really ok.

It was my first time eating Afghan food and I was really impressed! Both had the traditional rice qabili and the lamb stock comes out very intense here. We had this dish both as a vegetarian version and with lamb and both were really very good. From the mint sauce to the salad (ultra delicious dressing!), everything was really right and prepared with love. I can highly recommend 👍🏼

The food and service can only be praised! We were thrilled from start to finish. Super friendly service and the food was extremely tasty. We will be back definitely.

Amazing experience ✌️ Proud of our afghan with such an Amazing service, presentation and friendly staff

Mega delicious food and cozy atmosphere! I've been coming here regularly for three years and the menu is so varied that I'm still trying it out! The staff is always very nice and accommodating.

I was at a birthday party with six people at this restaurant last Friday. It wasn't my first visit here. My special recommendation is the eggplant with the saffron rice. I also really liked the dessert. All in all a very popular shop so you should definitely make a reservation.

Wow, I've never tried Afghan before... How come!? The food was indescribably delicious And we will definitely come back. Many thanks to the Maihan team

Super tasty, definitely worth a visit!

Unfortunately disappointing. Meat today was just mediocre and burnt We were charged additionally for the starter. (With a 45€ meat platter) Includes dips, usually (even in the past) always included. I'm generally a fan of the restaurant & the cuisine is great. However, I get disappointed every now and then: - Food slightly burnt - Dips & bread charged extra - neither before nor after - no sincere thanks / recognition for tips that are customary in the industry Bottom line: Unsatisfactory - I won't be coming back for now!

Super tasty & great service. Highly recommended restaurant!

The restaurant is very nicely done and the service is also top. It is modern with an oriental touch. And so is the food. Traditional combined with modern. We tried things out and ordered a lot of food. The grill plate for two was definitely recommended. The meat was tasty and authentic. In my opinion, only Qabuli could taste more intense. Mantu, ashak and ash were not as we know them from Afghan cuisine. The sauce over ashak was very tomato paste heavy.

First time eating Afghanistan cuisine and what an experience it was. We shared the 2 person platter which was just excellent. The rice was cooked perfectly and plenty of it too!! I will definitely be back on my next visit.

Super delicious food and perfect service! Always my pleasure :)

Try it yourself. We were thrilled and when we are back in Hamburg we will go to Maihan again

Best Afghan place in Hamburg. Food is so tasty and the staff is nice. Normally I don’t like lamb, but there it is highly recommendable!

We have just had our dinner, main dish contain lamp meet ( well done) , rice and salad was perfect 😋😋 Recommended Will go back as it possible , cause i will leave hamburg tomorrow. 🍖🥩🥓🍗

Very good Afghan cuisine with local spices, very nice staff, when the restaurant is full it is very loud

We were in Maiham today for the first time, but definitely not for the last time, best restaurant in Hamburg,((((ESSEN Kostlich)))😋

Great food, attentive service and super organized. I always enjoy coming back!

Very tasty food and super friendly, attentive service

Meat dishes were great, unfortunately the mantu wasn't so good.

The service is clearly worth highlighting. Very friendly service and great food

I love this restaurant. The food is always delicious and the service is simply fantastic. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. Gladly again.

Very good food and friendly service. A covered terrace and lots of good flair. It's a pleasure.

Das Essen ist wirklich lecker und empfehlenswert. Der Service war meist auch nett, aber wir wurden an Silvester nach ein paar Stunden ziemlich kurzfristig rausgeschmissen - das kostet einen Stern.

Spontaner Besuch und ein absoluter Volltreffer. Die Portionen sind verhältnismäßig zu anderen lokalen schon groß. Alles frisch mit guten Toppings im Salat wie zb. Erdbeer, Grantapfel und Drachenfrucht Stücke. Gönnt euch den Laden wer ein Hauch kulinarische Küche probieren möchte.

Super Service, frisch & Lecker!

Ein sehr schönes Restaurant mit netter Bedienung und gutem Essen.

Ich muß ganz ehrlich sagen, dass dieses Restaurant hervorragend ist. Ich bin durch Zufall drauf gestoßen und wir haben es nicht bereut. Von sehr gutem Essen bis Klasse Service und spitzen Preise. Sowas hat man nicht mehr so oft. Das Restaurant ist gemütlich und stilvoll eingerichtet. Die Bewertungen hier sind mehr als wahr!

Sehr leckeres, authentisches Essen

Wenn Sie ein Restaurant mit hoher Qualität, großartigen Service, gemütlichen Einrichtung und herzhafter afghanischen Essen suchen, sind Sie an dieser Adresse richtig. Wir waren am Geburtstag meiner Frau mit 15 Personen Vorort und fanden einen Top Service vor!

Wir wurden sehr freundlich begrüßt und super beraten. Der Service ist klasse. Wir kannten afghanisches Essen bisher nicht und waren sehr positiv überrascht. Es war super lecker. Die Preise für das Essen sind angemessen. Die Preise für einige Getränke könnten etwas günstiger sein. Aber das Gesamtpaket hat überzeugt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Meeega lecker - super entspannte Atmosphäre (etwas gehobener). Der Service war wirklich erstklassig! :)

Das Essen ist fantastisch. Der Service super aufmerksam und freundlich. Ich gehe regelmäßig hin und bin jedes Mal begeistert! 100% Weiterempfehlung!

Tolles Ambiente und Service! Aber leider nicht wirklich authentische afghanische Küche. War jedoch lange nicht mehr dort, vielleicht hat sich das ja geändert...

Ein echtes Erlebnis. Hatte erst keine Lust, bin dann aber so positiv überrascht worden. 1. Bedienung so was von freundlich 2. Essen relativ zügig 3. Getränke waren leer und man wurde proaktiv angesprochen, ob man noch etwas bestellen möchte 4. Essen so was von lecker. Einfach grandios! 5. Bitte um Bezahlung...sofort gekommen Hammer!!!

Sehr leckeres Essen, sehr nette und aufmerksame Bedienung. Geschmacklich ein Traum. Auch die Anrichtung der Gerichte ist sehr ansprechend. Alles in allem ein tolles Erlebnis. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

Wir waren heute zum ersten Mal im Maihan, aber definitiv nicht zum letzten Male ! Bisher hatten wir auf unseren Städtereisen erst einmal die afghanische Küche genießen dürfen, und waren auch heute wieder begeistert von den Geschmacksrichtungen und (k)östlichen Gewürzen. Das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich, der Inhaber begrüßt jeden Gast persönlich. Es hat uns sehr gefallen, und wir freuen uns auf unseren nächsten Besuch, wenn wir wieder in Hamburg sein werden. Viele Grüße vom Niedrrhein (Krefeld), C. und D. Walde

Leider war das Essen recht schnell kalt und das Fleisch ein wenig zäh. Der Beilagensalat allerdings super: gutes Dressing und die Früchte/Nüsse darin eine prima Idee. Reis & Sauce gut gewürzt. Sehr freundliche Bedienung allerdings hätten wir uns auch gefreut wenn das Teelicht auf dem Tisch angezündet worden wäre.

Sehr leckeres Essen alles schmeckte ganz frisch und war schön Angerichtet wir kommen gerne wieder kommen
