NIGIN Afghanisches Restaurant in München

Nigin is perfect for a quick lunch. The food is okay, and the price/performance ratio is just about okay. The service fluctuates somewhat, sometimes very attentive, sometimes a little less so.

Unfortunately we were back in the Orientisch restaurant – and almost everything was bad. The first impression: a dark, uninviting atmosphere with dusty decorations reminiscent of old buses. Although the waiter was friendly, he didn't know many basic rules of gastronomy. Then came the menu: confusing, ugly and completely chaotic. For example, the numbering suddenly jumped from 47 to 22 and then on to 35 - just absurd. The starters were of very poor quality and the glasses smelled so unpleasant that we had to ask for a replacement. The young man who took our order tried hard, but the basic concept was just bad. The quality of the food was very disappointing - even though I had often enjoyed very good food from Afghan friends. In this comparison, this was simply loveless and tasteless. I don't even want to go into the details - the table was dirty, the chairs were full of leftover food and trash from the previous guest. The service was also extremely poor: when the plates were cleared, only half of them were taken away, the rest were simply left there. When dessert came, only half was served - we had to get up ourselves to ask for the rest. The toilets were also not at the level you would expect from a restaurant in the center of Munich. Running a restaurant is hard work and requires a high level of management and discipline. Unfortunately, in restaurants like Orientisch, many basic standards are simply not met. High prices, but food and service well below average.

Expensive, portion is small. they don’t accept card payments and they don’t tell you before (trying to avoid paying government taxes?). I don’t recommend this resturant to tourists. They put the lunch menu which is half priced outside but inside you will pay double.

Careful when you eat here they will demand cash only to tourists to avoid tax,gave me atm that kept failing saying we only accept german visa card, i insisted on paying by card and told them i dont have cash then they switched the atm saying this is private atm to try and it worked… Food tbh was very good 5/5 service 0

Great tasty food. Amazing ambiance . The staff is extremely polite. Ordered a Shami lamb kebab and Firmi as desert.

It has been our go to restaurant whenever we end up at Marienplatz. The staff is really friendly and food is surprisingly tasty.

I didnt find value to money, like food quantity was just okaish plus i didnt find it as authentic afghani taste

Food was very tasty, but the card reader has been broken for 1.5 years and only cash payment is possible?!

Good traditional food in a very lovely Interieur. If your wanna safe some money go there for the afternoon lunch. You will have an discount on the dishes then.

Okay food from the Indian tastebuds perspective! I didn’t find them exciting enough for another visit. The snack platter was bit of a disappointment considering the price of it. Amount of food was okay.

Very good and inexpensive (€12.90) lunch menus. Attentive service. Big evening menu. A bit cramped inside, but in the summer it should certainly be nice to sit in the courtyard.

El personal era servicial y la comida era deliciosa. . el ambiente era encantador. . . pequeño, acogedor y la comida era exuberante

Was quite disappointed with my experience. The rice in the Kabuli Pulao were undercooked, which took away from the overall taste. Additionally, they had added potatoes to the dish, which was quite unusual and not something I expected. The staff was not attentive at all, I had to leave my table and walk up to the waiter just to request the bill. Overall, the experience was below expectations, and I don’t think I’ll be returning anytime soon.

They don't have a wide variety of dishes, it's mostly variations of pilau (meat stewed with onions, carrots, spices and rice) and kebab, but they make them really well. If you want a hearty and flavorful meal this is the right place.

A very tasty and authentic meal from Afghan cuisine. The Palau was very tasty and had the typical raisins and carrots in it. I really enjoyed my Mantu and the portion was big enough. We also tried a single lamb kebab, which I really enjoyed. We will certainly come back.

1) Overpriced and by that I mean the price-performance ratio. Not particularly friendly. 2) Extra Got up shortly after sitting down and asked if payment was possible: Yes, with EC. Neither EC (because from Austria) nor visas were accepted! Why don't we just say EC and only German EC cards? Looks to me like a store that prefers to see cash, for whatever reason. NEVER AGAIN!!!

Quiet atmosphere, good vibes, good food and super friendly staff.

Trick customers into paying cash when card is available for Germans. Dishonest people. Food was good but expensive.

If you really want to enjoy Afghan cuisine, this restaurant is completely out of place!!! Overpriced, small portions and anything but “rustic” preparation! We were there in the evening, it was initially very busy with visitors, but this decreased significantly as the evening progressed - but the waiters were anything but attentive and friendly...we sat in the upper area and I had to wave "excessively" until we were noticed, EVERY TIME! I've tried almost every Afghan restaurant in Munich, Nigin is by far one of the worst!!!

Very tasty food. Large portions. 4 people, 4 different dishes, everyone was satisfied. Seating a bit worn, unfortunately no card payment possible

Everything was delicious. Carolia of flavors and aromas.

Very tasty and fresh. Recommendation 😊

It took a long time until the food was served, the food was not fresh and the mento had no special taste, they ruined the name of Afghani food.

The food is delicious and the payment is only cash

Stable, high quality of the food. Enough vegetarian options. Nice service.

Hemos estado en NIGIN muchas veces. Nos gusta la comida y los servicios amables, nunca nos decepcionaron. Podemos recomendar NIGIN!

Very good, tasty food, well seasoned, good portions, great, friendly service, food came very quickly. Reasonable prices. We'll be back!

I had great expectations, which unfortunately were disappointed. Food: The quality of the food was disappointing, we didn't like it at all. The prices were definitely too high for the quality offered and the small portions. Service: The waiters weren't exactly rude, but some comments were inappropriate and seemed unprofessional. Positive: The music created a good atmosphere, which was unfortunately the only bright spot. Overall the experience was unsatisfactory and I would like to see improvements in both food quality and service.

Acceptable food with poor service. Had to wait 10 minutes for cutlery and napkins to arrive after the starter was already served!! Despite asking 3 different servers. Then the mains arrived before the cutlery. Servers only cared to upsell, nothing else. Tried to pay by card, they did seies of drama to make me pay cash. Very unprofessional!

The food here is exceptional, offering rich flavors that beautifully capture the essence of traditional Afghan cuisine. The staff are warm and attentive, ensuring a welcoming and comfortable experience. Whether you’re looking to explore unique flavors or simply enjoy a distinctive ambiance, this restaurant is sure to leave a lasting impression. Definitely a spot worth visiting again!

"High prices but great quality!"

I was on vacation in Munich, the best restaurant in Munich, really great.

Cozy and colorful Afghan restaurant. Friendly staff and variety of meat and vegetarian, hot and spicy dishes. The rice dish with chicken and potatoes was excellent and plentiful.

Cozy atmosphere, very tasty food. The soup was especially great!!

The thing with credit card payments ALWAYS works the way the many reviews write: at the beginning it says that credit cards are accepted and at the end "the card doesn't work, do you have another one??" It really has a “Gachmäckle”, but you can't always say that about the food: the “soup” no.2 (with lentils - €5.50) was more of a paste in consistency, very thick, but it was nonetheless yummy! The lamb no.35 (the boss's specialty) was unimaginative in taste, almost bland, is that supposed to be Afghan, the house specialty? The pancakes in which the "stew" was wrapped were tough (top) and soggy (bottom), definitely not enough lamb for just under €22. In addition, flatbread was served and three kinds of sauces, actually completely unnecessary because these sauces didn't go well with the sauce of the lamb stew at all, the yellowish one tasted like mayonnaise, the bright red one was actually sour-tomatoy-good, but didn't go well at all and the green-oily one tasted good A little like spinach, with a slight spiciness, didn't fit either. So in terms of taste it was a wild mix, without a plan. The yoghurt-mint-cucumber-lemon-sparkling water trunk (dough - €4.90) was really nice. Overall, the whole thing was far too expensive, the price-performance ratio wasn't right.

I have been here with a excitement to taste afghani food. To my Indian tongue the taste of the rice was very blend!! I ordered a lentil soup, the taste was also not great! They ignored to give us the bread along with it !!! The atmosphere is good but the service was not great!! Less hospital

The lentil soup was yum, the chicken was tender, while the meat was slightly tough.

Great restaurant, the service is impeccable. The staff is attentive and the dishes are delicious. I highly recommend it.

The food was super tasty and the Mantu in particular were excellent! We simply felt comfortable and will definitely come back. Thanks also for the excellent service!

Excellent value for money for lunch

food was not good at all the staff was friendly but the quantity/price was not reasonable and find it expensive, we asked for small tea cup they got us big one and charged us for 5€, I will never come back there and would not recommend it

It was all well and good, but the music was too loud and too club-like after 7 p.m.

Really fresh and delicious food! The service was always very nice and courteous. It was just a little tight, but still comfortable.

Very tasty food Pretty waitresses

I mostly eat at Afghan restaurants, but this restaurant did not meet my expectations. There was no Afghan bread at all, even though I ordered that specially, unfortunately the rice and kebab we ordered were not cooked properly.

The food was very bad and expensive for such a small portion. We ordered a plate for two people, only white rice came warm from the microwave and a bit of meat and a bit of tomato sauce for €30. So I recommend you not to eat there.

As an Afghan, you can tell the difference very well between very bad, week-old food Never go there again.

The food is simply very bad but only the Afghans can tell the difference, I didn't see a single Afghan in the restaurant because we know what real Afghan food tastes like, they simply warmed up week-old food in the microwave and brought us the rice The meat was dried black too

We would like to eat there because we thought it was a halal restaurant, but alcohol is served there 👎🏻

It was so disappointing that there are no words to describe it. Honestly, to eat ground beef I go to a McDonald's.

Good seating area and average service overall. Yummy food at average pricing. Only cash.

My daughter wanted to try something new and so we decided on Nigin. It was the best decision ever. It's a shame that we live so far away, but we'll definitely come back the next time we visit Munich. The food was simply brilliant and the service was also very, very friendly and accommodating. Gladly again. 100% recommendation

Very tasty, friendly and attentive service. We love Afghan food and at Nigin you are in very good hands.

The food is average. They only accept cash.

Appropriately furnished, atmospheric store with very attentive service that responds to criticism. I'd love to come back!

Amazing place, amazing flavours! First time tasting afgan food and i think its one of my top cuisines so far. Definitely must try!!

Fuimos a Nigin un domingo por la noche. El ambiente era muy agradable, el servicio era excelente y rápido. Pedimos Sammarod Palau ba Kababe Morgh (pollo) y Katschalu Tschalau (cordero). Los platos estaban deliciosos y bien condimentados. De postre pedimos Fermi y Jala; estaban muy sabrosos. La única desventaja es que el pago solo se puede hacer en efectivo o con tarjetas alemanas. Visa y Master no son aceptados.

Delicious food, fast service and comfortable place We saw it by chance and it was one of the most delicious coincidences

Food tastes very good. The waiters are also very friendly. Went there at lunchtime and it was already busy. We had to wait a bit until we could get in, but it was still within limits. It was my first time at Afghan and I wasn't disappointed. We recommend the starter plate for 2 people & the 25. Very nicely decorated.

The store is said to be open until midnight. It was already closed at 10:40 p.m. and the employees were unfriendly. We ate here once, the dishes were edible - service never again

A halal Afghan restaurant in Al Marine Plaza. We ordered a mixed appetizer dish. Unfortunately, it was not good. It was full of oil. We ordered Bukhari rice with chicken. It was okay. The service was excellent, but when paying, they insisted on cash. They did not accept card payment.

An Afghan restaurant characterized by delicious Bukhari rice, but a little chewy and excellent service. Thank you to all the staff

Simply very very delicious food , strongly recommended .

The restaurant is very delicious and clean They have a spacious outdoor seating area in the back I ordered grilled chicken pieces with white rice and cooked eggplant. I liked it Thank God

The food is normal and the price is high

I loved this restaurant 😍 we had Qabeli Pulao and Sabzi Chalao yesterday and omg this was one of the most delicious dishes i've ever eaten in my life 😍 we definitely come back soon

Was there for the second time now and I have to say that it is even better than the last time. Excellent food, tastes incredibly good. When I'm back in Munich I'll definitely come back!

Small and fine restaurant in the center of Munich. Very tasty food, especially the lamb (although I'm always careful about that...) Chicken came from the grill, the additional sauces were also tasty and not extremely spicy and went well with the rice. The only small thing was that unfortunately I couldn't taste the coriander. The furnishings are OK, could be improved a bit if necessary, but otherwise everything is great and we will be happy to come back.

The price was high and the food was normal

Really good food and good rice but the mouse around the garden is too bad

Went twice in a single week because the food was so good. Take a seat outside!! Desserts are not to be missed, please.

The strongest restaurant, the most delicious food, Blessed be the Most Merciful, the most delicious food

Excellent, very clean, varied food and very friendly staff

Nice restaurant with delicious authentic food but prices are a bit steep. They take cash only.

The place does not look good < needs renovation The food is amazing i visited this restaurant 3 times

Best Afghan cuisine in Munich! Fresh and very tasty - how you imagine Afghan cuisine to be. Nice service. Also good desserts. It's a pleasure.

Plats très goûteux avec beaucoup de saveurs. De plus avec de belles quantités. Nous recommandons fortement lors d'un séjour à Munich.

There were 5 of us and had to change our table twice and then after a long wait we said goodbye with an empty stomach.

Best food if you love meat and chicken with rice amazing experience and halal

It is one of the worst restaurants in the city of München, everything is expensive and has no quality at all. I really regretted going there, and at the same time, they have very poor service, and the waiters are rude.😏

Too expensive too much fat you have to pay €10,000 to be full.

A restaurant that serves halal Afghan popular dishes in a traditional Afghan way, with high local quality

The restaurant is clean and the food is very sweet and halal. I highly recommend trying it

Authentic, really tasty dishes. Someone knows how to cook and there are no bowls being clapped together carelessly by student assistants as is often the case. Elsewhere. Here it tastes the way it should taste. Prices are also ok, there is even an outdoor area. Absolutely recommended!!

The food was a feast, really authentically Afghan. The dessert, the Afghan ice cream, an absolute dream! The service was totally friendly and attentive. I have often read that only cash or EC card and no credit card payment is possible. Being in the restaurant business myself, I know that business credit cards charge extremely high fees. You just want to save costs here, that's legitimate, so don't act like that and take cash with you or pay with a debit card. There are enough ATMs at Stachus!

Great ambience, exceptionally delicious cuisine. The meals are prepared and served with great attention to detail and we were cooked for us shortly before the kitchen closed. I would love to come back. Thank you very much 🙏

The food is excellent, delicious and delicious. The food is delicious worth the visit 👍🏻

The food is very heavy and fatty, full of oily and ordinary once. Payment is in cash only, knowing that the table opposite the Germans paid with a card. Hanna told us cash. The device does not work.. The price is very high.

It says a halal Afghan restaurant… As soon as you go inside, you feel like you are inside a bar, not a restaurant. They have more alcohol than anything else. Their prices are high compared to Arab restaurants.

Huge price increase. A small sheer yakh 10€. Still delicious food.

The food was very tasty, the staff are really friendly

Hello, great service, food also very good

They trick Arab customers in paying Cash so the bank won’t charge them extra for credit card payments!! They have been using this trick for the last few years !! Please ensure you’re able to pay credit card before you dine with them.

The food is very tasty, the waiters are very friendly and we received a warm welcome! In addition, the staff are child-friendly and generous. Greetings from Hamburg!! ;)

The food was generally good. The staff were nice and overall it’s a good restaurant

Good food but be aware payment is cash only

Despite the price increase, it's still (probably) the best lunch deal in downtown Munich 🤝🏼

Excellent food ,atmosphere and reception, Delicious food Thanks

Nothing great, very average food... not best quality... and overpriced

They do not focus on ordering, meaning you ask for something and you may get something, but their food is good and the food is good
