Namaste Restaurant - München in München

Unfortunately, the chef was probably not in the mood; the sauces and dishes all looked and tasted the same. We had to ask for information about nuts for someone with allergies... The service was attentive, but we couldn't get any further with the language. Unfortunately, all I can say is, I don't necessarily need a second visit.

Unfortunately, as a German, you don't get served!!! We waited 55 minutes for our appetizer while all the other "locals" were served after 10 minutes. And that in our own country – a real shame! We were really looking forward to the meal. We then took the food home when it arrived after 1 hour and 10 minutes – unfortunately, I can say it was the worst-tasting Indian food we've ever eaten. And we eat it often and enjoy it. All in all, a bottomless impertinence and a truly horrible, hostile experience towards a German guest!

An absolute disappointment – ​​never again! We ordered via Lieferando and waited for our food for over two hours - without any response from the restaurant. Several attempts to contact us by telephone were unsuccessful. When someone finally picked up and we asked to cancel, they simply hung up. This behavior is absolutely disrespectful and customer-unfriendly. No apology, no solution – just ignored. Stay away - there is no service or reliability.

One of the fine Indian restaurants in Munich particularly south India. If you crave for Authentic spicy South Indian dishes, you can go for it. My favs are majestic chicken and Hyderabadi chicken dum Briyani.

Totally delicious Indian dishes highly recommended, would love to come back.

Food was good and the service was friendly. Had the veg tali. Great portion size. Mango Lassi was also very good!

The Hyderabadi Dum Biryani was straight fire! Super flavorful, juicy meat, and that aroma? Insane. Every bite hit different with those rich spices and perfectly cooked rice. Total comfort food goals. If you're a biryani lover, this one's a no-brainer. 10/10 would smash again!

Food ok, but nothing special, service inattentive, bored and not really friendly, ambience, cheap and not really clean impression, there are much better Indians in Munich...

The worst food and the worst Service Ever In this resturant I don’t recommend anyone to visit this resturant

Sure! Here’s a nicely adapted and polished review for you: ⸻ A fantastic spot for both South and North Indian cuisine! They offer a great variety of dosas — we tried the Dosa, Butter Chicken, and Chicken Lollipop, all of which were delicious. The Hyderabadi Dum Biryani was a real standout, packed with authentic flavor. Don’t miss their Lemon Soda — it’s a refreshing highlight! The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Conveniently located near Arabella Park, this is definitely a must-visit if you’re in Munich!

Food was delicious. I had butter chicken. The service wasn't bad, but a bit reserved. When paying, including a tip, it didn't seem like you were grateful for it. There was also no farewell. Nevertheless, in my opinion the food was... good.

Best Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani in Munich!!

Best Indian restaurant in Munich East! Best Indian in Munich!

Avoid at all costs. If you like yesterday's leftovers and uncooked food with a price tag of 5 star hotel then go for it. 7.5€ for water bottle is the cherry on the cake.

Decent restaurant ordered a Thali, taste needs to improve a bit. Naan was really good. And as well as the Fresh lime soda

Amazing! The place to be if you are craving Indian food. Absolutely worth it. The portions are huge and the food is good.

The punugulu were a bit sweet for my liking, but the veg biriyani was very nice 👍🏼

Visited Namaste India in Munich today, and I have to say this was one of the worst service experiences I’ve ever had. The moment the restaurant got full, everything seemed to fall apart. Orders were served in a completely chaotic sequence — we only received half of what we ordered and had to wait nearly an hour. It genuinely made me wonder if this is how they treat all South Asian customers. Either way, I won’t be coming back.

Catastrophically, we ordered a grilled mix of meat yesterday and when I asked what was on it the waiter couldn't really describe it to me. Nevertheless, I ordered it. After 25 minutes, the plate came with 4 pieces, which I put on it, greens not grilled, dried like shoes soles.

It's a very authentic place. Very friendly and fast service. Super delicious food. We tried egg dosa for the first time ( a kind of crepes made of fermented rice), and chicken dishes. I am a tourist in Munchen but if I was a local, I would come here regularly.

Andhra style Biriyani. Best restaurant

Reason for 4 star: We tried couple of times, excellent food. We also have ordered for my functions. Everything is very good. Paneer is hard comparing to other restaurants. This can be improved to make soft paneer. If it is improved I would give 5 star.

Very authentic hyderabadi biryani.

Authentic Indian taste this place is just superb. Their biriyanis are worth all the hype. In case you love fish, their Apollo fish is finger licking good.We loved their combo menus which was ample for two people and allowed us to taste a huge variety of dishes.Definitely will come back.

Authentic Indian and delicious food. I travel specifically from Stuttgart to eat their Hyderabadi Dum Biryani and Apollo Fish. They have been consistently good for a very long time which is very commendable.

The rooms aren't particularly nice, but that wouldn't bother me if the food was convincing. However, it was freezing cold. The heating was completely off and the temperatures were below zero. We were really freezing! That's why we ordered chai, which I drank much better. The 2 dips for the pappadam were both rather watery and not particularly good. Usually you get a nice mango chutney or peppermint yogurt. Because it was lunchtime, we were given soup without ordering, which we couldn't eat at all. It tasted like a very watery packaged asparagus soup. The dishes from the two thalis (one fish, one vegetarian) were ok, although some were quite salty. Since I have been to India myself and have also taken Indian cooking courses and also completed Ayurveda training, I know that salt should play a very minor role due to the many other spices. The raita was again, how could it be otherwise, very watery. Only the naan actually tasted really good. The service was ok, fast and someone was always present, but nothing remarkable. All in all it wasn't worth it at all and we were really cold afterwards.

If someone want to try proper authentic South Indian (Andhra) food then the best place in the city is Namaste. Great food with lot of vegetarian options too. Always recommended to dine in.

Ask for a cash payment before they make a bill for good discounts.

Very nice restaurant. Good food. Perfect dumb biryani you will get here. Hyderabadi restaurant. Ambiance is ok. Service good. Worth a try.

I ordered food online food was ice cold and biryani doesnt even taste like biryani it was somethingh wiered never tasted such kind of biryani in any city of the world really disappointed after eating i felt why did i eat this

Very friendly and accommodating staff, authentic flavors and welcoming lively atmosphere. We had fish masala and chili fish and both were delicious.

Best Dum Biryani in Munich , flavorful , right level of spices.

The chicken dum biryani was good.

Pretty bland atmosphere but the food is awesome. It's not for nothing that there are many Indian guests. Very pleasantly surprised to have such a good Indian in Munich! If you don't have to be there, absolute top recommendation!

Not good at all. Just throw money away. Bitter, burnt.

We called 2 hours ahead to order biryani, and it was confirmed. However, when we arrived, they told us it was unavailable. After some back and forth, they served us what seemed like rice mixed with chicken curry, which didn’t meet our expectations. The staff’s response felt unprofessional, and the overall experience was disappointing after traveling for more than an hour with a baby. In comparison, we’ve had better experiences at other places, especially in terms of taste and hospitality.

Just One leg piece in a biryani is unfair and no rice served with bagara egg curry. My wife was disappointed and said she doesn't want to go to this place again.

*Update* We tried a few more items from the menu, added below. It's a decent place but definitely a big room for improvement. We ordered - 1. Mango lassi and gobhi Manchurian which were nice 2. Kesari chicken: the portion was good but quite dry. A curry on the side would be appreciated. 3. Kadhai paneer: it was good but the paneer was a bit hard. 4. Chilli Paneer: it is actually very spicy 🥵 so be careful 5. Thali is a good option. A bit on the pricey side but a good option if you want to try different things. Overall decent food but a major bummer on the atmosphere. For pretty much the same price, other Indian restaurants offer a very good ambience.

An Indian who cooks relatively authentically. There were a lot of Indians there, which also means a recommendation for me.

The one and only true Hyderabadi biryani in Munich

Very nice staff.. tasty food.. good atmosphere. Thank you for the delicious tea :)

Extremely good food, very nice staff and very authentic!!! 😍 Best naan we've ever eaten 👍🏼 thank you very much!!

I've eaten at many Indian restaurants but so far Namaste was the best. My Indian colleagues were there too and said it was really good 👍

Nothing special. Unfortunately, the service was very bad today, despite there being tons of employees. The food was good, but not so good that it made up for the service. The prices are okay.

The food was good, but for 21 euros the main course was far too small a portion without vegetables and just a few cold lettuce leaves.

We ordered 1 weekend offer combo 2 which costs 32 euros, the quantity was not enough but if you are interested in try you can go ahead. The disappointing point is We ordered a chicken biryani, one namsthe non veg thali, one mutton biryani and one veg thali. Non of these are good. Mutton biryani is entirely filled with masala. The chicken biryani is not at all a hyderabadi biryani. We didnt receive one nan which was included in veg thali. Over all this is a very disappointing experience.

One of the best Indian restaurants in the city. An insider tip that has spread, especially among Indians. The food is also much more authentic than other Indian restaurants. There are often special offers, often very hot and well-seasoned dishes, but if you have a weak palate it can quickly become too spicy. The highlight for many is the Hyderabadi-style biryani, but this is only available on weekends. For the average eater, one portion is easily enough for two people. The price is completely okay, the taste is interesting and something different. Definitely recommended.

Probably the best biriyani in Munich. I got the combo with Chicken Biriyani, two curries, and naan, and it was such a good deal. Amazing chai too

Not our taste, we know much better ones in Munich. Very slow service with language barriers. We expected much more from the Google rating.

Unfortunately the food was cold. I was a little disappointed, but it tasted good! But for the price you expect a smile and warm food

Great atmosphere as mostly Indians come here to eat. You feel like you're on vacation.

One of the finest Indian restaurants in Munich. Known for its Biryanis! If you wish to opt in for authentic Indian taste, do inform the same while ordering. Good food, good people!

Excellent food. I had mirchi bajji and Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani, tasted authentic. Certainly recommended.

South-Indian. Can expect food to be spicier than usual.

Pure India in the middle of Munich! A great surprise, here you only hear Indian or English... An Indian who is also popular with Indians can't be that bad. And indeed: everything is perfect! Always my pleasure!

The biryani is here is a must try! Really authentic and nice. One thing I did not like that in combo, the chicken ghee roast pieces were really just bones mostly. I wouldnt recommend the combos. I feel you can better value with individual dishes than combo

Very good, reasonably priced food.

The best Indian restaurant visited in germany till now.. All of us liked it very much… The staff is very friendly. Mirchi bajji and all chicken varieties are highlights of the day….

If you want a chicken biriyani and not sabzi biryani or fried rice biryani in Munich this is the only option. The biryani here is pretty close to the original, with those biryani flavours. The quantity of the biryani is also a lot and most people would have a hard time finishing it (I am not one of those people). They sometimes skim on the amount of chicken in the Biryani, which tends to happen late at night when they are running short of it and everyone orders Biryani. The location is out of the way for most people and needs a real effort to reach. The vibe of the place is also very dull, it looks very old and needs a lot of change.

Great place to order indian. Tasty and good portion for a fair price!

We had reserved a table for two and we were given possibly the worst small table crammed between two other tables. Poppadoms were stale and not fresh, moreover we waited 10 mins for both our main courses to arrive at the same time. Food was fine, but otherwise I won't be back.

Loved eating here. Came here for the second time in a week. Staff is so friendly and service is very good. Highly recommended.

I would NEVER suggest to have any North Indian dishes over here , specifically never try Dam biryani, it is just masala rice !! Even their mango lassi was also full of essence . Completely disappointed !!

Went for dinner . Great to have Indian food while traveling.

Came here for lunch and ordered the Chicken Chettinad, a popular South Indian dish. It was delicious, but I was expecting it to be a bit more spicy and stronger in aromatics and herbs. It seemed a milder version of a traditional Chettinad, almost closer to a western version of an “Indian” spicy chicken curry. The food here seems very good and it’s definitely worth a visit 😃

Good Indian restaurant in Arabella Park area. Restaurant is located in Second floor and hence wheelchair and strollers are to be kept at ground level. Customer service is good. You can have Indian veg and non-veg dishes here. Drinks are also served. Can enjoy your dinner with family and friends.

Friendly service. However compared to other Indian restaurants in Munich, the food and portion sizes were quite average.

Ate biryani and dosa . Both were extremely tasty

Unfortunately not a proper restaurant, just a quick snack

The biryani here is truly delicious and close to the authentic ones we get in India. The south Indian dishes are really amazing. I highly recommend people in Munich to try here.

Por lo general, me decepciona la cocina del sur de la India debido a que me criaron comiendo comida tamil, pero Namaste trae algo de lo mejor de nuestra cocina a la gente de Munich. Si alguna vez llegas a Munich, este es el lugar para auténtica comida india y un servicio excepcional.

Usually, I get disappointed with South Indian cuisine due to being brought up eating Tamil food, but Namaste brings some of the best of our cuisine to the people of Munich. If you ever get to Munich, this is the spot for authentic Indian food and exceptional service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unfortunately we where too hungry to patiently take any pictures 😅

I was here for dinner with my friends. It's the second time I come to this restaurant. I have to highlight two dishes in particular, firstly the Hyderabadi Chicken Byriani (very spicy 🌶️), meat is tender and the rice tastes excellent 😊 and secondly, We had chicken lolipop as an appetizer! Very special and very good 🤤 Among other things, we had spicy fish (see photo) in a spicy sauce. I also ordered mango lassi, which I particularly love! 🫶 And then finally Indian Chai. Simply a must!! This one is a must try! 🤩 The only thing I don't like is that the waiters are too serious 😨. I don't like that that much... maybe 🤔 these could smile more often 🙂 Sending you positive vibes!! Maybe 🤔 that will help! 😜

Best place for biryani. Had a combo meal with chicken biryani, mutton korma , roti and seviyan, chicken 65 The chciken 65 was ok. Seviyan was not made properly.

The best Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani you can have Munich. Trust me, I have tried all the restaurants never had the real biryani taste except here… the best!!

We ordered from here multiple times online and dined in as well. Here's what I feel about the dishes: Chicken dum biryani - excellent Mutton dum biryani - excellent Veg dum biryani - good Veg fried rice, paneer fried rice - very good Gobhi Manchurian - average Paneer Manchurian - average Apollo fish - good the first time, but the fish tasted smelly the second time Chicken lollypop - worst. They served stale chicken and it felt chewy as rubber Plain dosa - very good Masala dosa - very good Podi dosa - average Paneer tikka - average Kesri chicken tikka - average Rava kesari - good Punugulu - good The quantities were good but except for dosas and biryanis which I highly recommend, it was an average experience. Overall rating: 3.5/5

The Biriyani is just “Chumeshwari 😘”. As it is written in the menu, “Mutton Biryani” is literally Mutton Biryani & not Lamb Biryani. Usually most of the restaurants name it as Mutton Biriyani but give Lamb instead.

This place serves authentic Hyderabad dumplings biryani. The food tastes very good with fair price and good portion.

very nice chicken biriyani and crispy corn. We also took pepper chicken but it was not so tasty.

Authentic Hyderabadi Biryani. Different from other restaurents. Some special items are only available here. Till yet not found in other restaurents.

Great food, a lot of Indians eat there too. The ambience is plain and simple, but the friendly service and excellent food more than make up for it...

The food was averagely good, I can only recommend it.

Hands down, the best place for Hyd style biryanis in Munich. Also serves authentic South Indian food especially Andhra style.

Very good Restaurants with south indian options.Biryani,chicken 65 is my favourite..

Very good cuisine, nice service, well connected by public transport despite being located far from the city center. Expats also like to eat here! Tip: Be sure to take a look at the menu of South Indian dishes: on the weekend there are two types of biryani (vegetarian & lamb), which are in great demand because they are really good.

Good food with new south indian options. We had rava dosa, Maisore masala dosa. Peanut chutney and sambar were very delicious.

Food is very tasty. Gobi Manchurian is very well made, crispy. The ambience is nice. Parking is available on the adjacent streets. From the street one has to walk inside a building complex, so the restaurant is not visible from any road. The service is quick and friendly. Overall a good experience.

Places was introduced to us by our dear friend Abhishek and he made us order all the good and tasty thing on the menu. Their weekend special menu is on different level. The chicken biryani with chicken masala and mutton masala take the flavours on different notch; the taste is unmatched to any restaurant found in Munich ( we have tried almost every biryani place) Pepper chicken was a hit among all of us. The desserts were unhinged - gajar halwa, pyasam, gulabjamun- really made me remember my time spent in south. Dosai was great too I would really recommend you guys to ask their recommendation and order. Also they improvise on taste as needed for vegetarians. We also had a veg set ordered Drinks were from the set so market grade tasting 😅

Best Food and service. Highly recommended for students.

Absolutely disappointing. I also suspect a hygiene problem here. Dishes and glasses were not clean. The furnishings are shabby and the floors of the restaurant, etc. were not cleaned at the time. For some it is authentic, for me it is a “NO GO”. The dishes cost an average of €15.

Food and service was good. A bit spicy for me :). Atmosphere was just ok.

The food had flavors similar to those in India. A good experience for those who like Indian cuisine.

Food is absolutely delicious. Loved the Butter Naan, chicken Chettinad, Dragon chicken and Corn fry(like a snack). If you are looking for good south Indian taste then this is the place.

Handown the best . looking for no other than this if you crave for Indian food during Munich visit . I loved it .

Cynical review xx - Average restaurant slightly better than average Indian food (from an Indian perspective)

Was OK. The service still has room for improvement. The food was quite good. The terrace above Rosenkavalierplatz is beautiful.

The interior of the restaurant is outdated

Loved the chicken dum biryani. I went specially for that and it was really worth it. Oh, the payasam was amazing too I must say.

Fantastic taste. Authentic through and through. Great owner and helpful staff. One of the best in Munich. Their biryani is exactly what a poor soul needs which is deprived of authenticity. Starters are excellent, especially chicken majestic.

Best place in munich to get authentic Hyderabadi biriyani!!
