Restaurant Paco in Hamburg

Truly incredibly delicious food. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Indian food ♡ The ambiance is great, the service excellent, and the wait times weren't long. It was a great experience, with very friendly staff and plenty of seating options, especially with a variety of options. Parking isn't so easy, though. We weren't there too late for dinner, so we were lucky enough to find a spot. I can't imagine finding a parking space during rush hour. But there are also great bus and subway connections!

We had a lovely experience with the family here. The food was delicious. The service was great. The restaurant is very warm and nicely decorated. It’s a little tight when it’s full. It’s difficult to get through the restaurant when people are seated. It was the night before Dewali, so they were celebrating. They offered food to the statues in the restaurant. They also gave out free samples of rice pudding. We ordered the chicken tandoori. It was the first time we’ve ever had it with bones in the chicken. Everything was delicious. They’re dog and kid friendly. Toys are around for children to play with. Prices are reasonable. I would definitely return.

In the Grindel high-rise buildings, it wasn't very cozy and smelled strongly of garlic. But the food and lassi were delicious.

The Maharani is my absolute favorite Indian restaurant, not just at lunchtime, and for good reason! The authentic, delicious Indian dishes are always perfectly seasoned, and the quality of the ingredients is outstanding. They could sometimes use a bit more paneer and offer more vegetarian options on the lunch menu. The warm hospitality is particularly noteworthy: The service is incredibly attentive, the staff are always friendly, and you feel like a valued guest among friends. The cozy and authentic atmosphere makes every visit a mini-vacation for the senses and the palate – a definite recommendation for any lover of Indian cuisine, and it easily rivals the dishes cooked in India!

Very, very tasty. Very nice. They gave us a bottle of wine to celebrate. Highly recommended <3

Best food. Best service. Super authentic and cozy 🧡 And everything's vegan, too!

Top-notch food. Service: You wait forever for your order, the question of whether I need anything else, the bill: a total of an hour of pure waiting time. Four employees are completely busy doing nothing. Interior: I got flea bites on my ankles. With only 10% capacity, they should rip out the filthy, dusty, and mildew-infested furniture and replace it with a few, but NEW, pieces of furniture, new flooring, and new walls. I will NEVER SIT IN THERE AGAIN. I remember why I haven't been there more than three times in 25 years, despite it being a two-minute walk.

Authentic ambiance and incredibly delicious food. Well-seasoned with great attention to detail in the serving. The waiters were very attentive and friendly. So far, the best Indian restaurant I've been to in Hamburg.

It was very nice , the food was fantastic , the service was excellent , very much recommended.

Turkish pastry shop/bakery with a café. Large selection of baklava.

Beautiful ambiance, great service. Kids can run around, and this is even advertised. The food is a culinary marvel. Very delicious and highly recommended.

I live 10 minutes away in Eimsbüttel and the minimum order value is 30€.. All right and goodbye.. what a pity

Truly one of the best Indian restaurants we've ever eaten in. We absolutely loved the food, and the service was top-notch, extremely attentive, and friendly ☺️

Food was not up to the mark ‼️ more German way instead of Indian way. I think this can be improved. Hospitality wise its a good experience but request them to not make any experiment just ask what you want in the Indian way!

It was a nice place to eat dinner.

If you want to enjoy authentic Indian food, you should try Maharani's. ☆☆☆☆☆

Food is lovely . I had chole bhature and veg biryani . But you know what is best is the people here . So kind and so amazing. Loved the homely vibe . My favourite in Hamburg

Visiting this Indian restaurant was a stroke of luck. The decor was quaint and Indian, the staff extremely friendly and attentive, and the food absolutely delicious. Our small dog was allowed inside. We had a wonderful evening at Maharani and would gladly return.

The food is delicious and prepared quickly. However, I don't understand why you pay more for phone orders and self-pickup than for Lieferando delivery. It should generally be the other way around.

As part of an Eat the World tour, we also visited the Maharani in the Grindelhochbauten. A very nice restaurant. Friendly service. We'll definitely go again, but with the full menu. Addendum: We've tried the full menu multiple times. Wonderful, authentic Indian cuisine. A cloud of fragrant spices greets you as soon as you enter. The Maharani is simply a delight. We'll definitely be back more often. Thanks to the wonderful hosts 😀

The food, service, and ambiance are top-notch as always. We always find it delicious here and would love to come back.

The restaurant is really cute and uniquely decorated. It has a nice ambiance. The food was delicious, with plenty of vegetarian options.

I highly recommend the place, A nice little Indian, lovely staff who are very generous! Butter Chicken very tasty and perfect with Garlic Nan. 4.7/5 🔥

The Maharani and its offshoots in Hamburg are a must for all fans of Indian cuisine! The vegetarian offerings are particularly worth mentioning because the chefs prepare dishes with exceptional ingredients. The ambience is unusual, service was always friendly and customer-oriented. Always worth a visit :)

Very appetizingly prepared delicious dishes. => Recommendation!

Tasty Indian cuisine, great food to share with the whole table. Friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of different dishes from a variety of regions.

Food was great – Madras Chicken, Dal Makhni, Roti and Garlic Naan were authentic and delicious. Unfortunately, a waiter kept staring unpleasantly at my partner and only stopped when I looked directly at him. This is exactly why Indian men have a bad reputation when it comes to women's safety - worshiping female deities but making real women feel insecure. Visited Maharani a few days ago while staying at Radisson Blu nearby—this was only Indian spots open late. I ordered Madras Chicken, Dal Makhni, roti, and garlic naan. The food was genuinely tasty and had a nice authentic vibe. The restaurant looked great too. Unfortunately, the experience was ruined by a waiter who kept staring at my partner nonstop, making her feel really uncomfortable. It only stopped when I started staring back, ready to confront him. This is exactly why Indian men have a bad rep when it comes to women’s safety—despite claiming to worship female gods, real women often feel unsafe around them. Food was great, but I wouldn’t recommend unless they train their staff to behave better.

This evening we ordered to the hotel via Lieferando. The food was delicious and all special requests were fulfilled. There was even cutlery! We are very satisfied. 😀 Always my pleasure

I think it's been more than 8 years since I was there, but back then I really liked this restaurant on the ground floor of the Grindelhochhausen.

Favorite Indian cozy delicious best service

The food was really delicious. I haven't eaten Indian food this well in a long time. The service was also very courteous and the atmosphere is somehow totally cozy.

Unfortunately disappointed, both with the service and the food. The food is served nicely prepared, but the taste is rather disappointing, especially if you like spicy food. It is medium spicy at most. The waiter doesn't ask what spiciness you want and unfortunately the spiciness isn't visible on the menu. The large appetizer plate is quite disappointing; greasy, half warm and filled with lots of spring rolls (at an Indian restaurant?). Charging €25 for this is not justified. The service clearly wasn't having a good day. We were a group of 6 and weren't served (not even for a drink order) for a good 15 minutes, even though the restaurant was maybe half full. You had to go to the counter and ask the waiter that we would like to place the order. After that the service got better, but never friendly. It was also disappointing that the bottle of wine was overcharged in the end. Hence the recommendation - check the invoice. Overall impression is rather below average, although the atmosphere is nice and oriental.

Worst food i have ever. They are selling it saying Indian food but the taste is worst that German food.

The food was, as usual, very good, and everything was explained. I'd be happy to go back. The restaurant is quite small, but well-stocked. You can almost always find a table. However, I would recommend making a reservation in advance, especially on weekends. The food and taste always exceed expectations, especially on weekends. The service is also very good, attentive, and very friendly.

Food tasty but quite expensive. The service never once asked if we needed anything else. Nor was anyone asked whether it was tasty. I ordered very spicy and it was 0 spicy. The service had a guest who was constantly on the phone just making a phone call.

An absolutely amazing restaurant!

Very nice atmosphere and a very warm, friendly team. Always very happy.

By far the best restaurant in Hamburg! I love eating there and delighting family and friends. Today we celebrated a birthday there and I can only absolutely praise the food. Stay as you are!

Very great Indian restaurant with delicious food at good prices

We love this place!!! The food is super delicious. The service is very accommodating. We are here regularly!!!

The service is very friendly, the food is very tasty. Starters and desserts definitely round off the taste experience. The furnishings are no longer brand new, but they are still cozy and the atmosphere is right. We have been here several times and have been satisfied every time. Parking is possible, but costs €3 per hour.

Was very friendly, the food was served quickly and was great

We tried 2-3 restaurants in Hamburg and this was the first one. They were so best that we regretted going to others. Keep the good work guys. We are the one that came late night in group of 16 people. You guys are so nice, polite and so welcoming. Sorry for keeping you late till 12:00 in night.

Large portion, tender lamb, very good mago lassi

We ordered from the restaurant and everything arrived warm and of the best quality within a very short time. Thank you very much, we will be happy to order again!!🥰

A nice restaurant, with attentive staff and delicious food! A large selection on the menu! Gladly again!

Super tasty food but vegetable decorations are not recommended.

Highly recommended for indian cuisine in Germany….

It's like coming home every time, super delicious fresh food, a warm welcome and perfectly unobtrusive service. Thank you dear Maharani team!

The price-performance ratio is right here

Very good food, very cozy place, interior is very unique, feels like we are in someones home, warm and welcoming! The indian decorations and statues are the best, makes the place even more special! ! The food was very tasty, we had a big group of 10 and were able to try many dishes - very happy with the selection! Highly recommended!

Top service! Delicious food not to complain! Keep it up!👏🏻

This rate is underestimated definitely!

Very friendly staff, they asked if everything was OK and if you had any requests, the food and drinks were very tasty and at a good temperature. I'd love to come back next time I'm in the area

The food is delicious! Ayurveda is written in the menu, but it is not discussed at all or mentioned further. For me, ordinary - but really tasty - Indian dishes. A bit misleading. Therefore one point deducted. But I think the furnishings with sofas and armchairs, Indian furnishings, etc. were successful!

Hello dear readers, I can absolutely recommend this restaurant. Be it the food, the service and the ambience. It has never disappointed us and we have probably eaten there more than 10 times. For this we take a journey of 40-45 minutes each time. It's one of our top 3 restaurants in Hamburg, definitely 🫶🏽

The dishes are not freshly prepared and reservations are forgotten.

Since I like to eat Indian food a lot this time I chose the Maharani. After ordering, it didn't take too long for the starters to arrive. Unfortunately, the portion size is a bit small, with 2 pieces of naan bread (especially when it tastes so good). There is enough quantity of the main courses. We'll be happy to try our hand at the menu next time.

Very good food and great service! Thanks!!

We've been eating there regularly for years. I always say: "Every fork is a taste experience!" Over time I eat my way through the entire menu. It was always great and I look forward to visiting there every week! Many thanks to the staff and the chef :-)

Love these guys. Great neighbours. Makes me want to eat curry every day.

Maharani best! The food here is very tasty and the food comes very quickly and the seats are very comfortable.

Good lunch menus for 10€. Where is something like that?

Best Indian food in hamburg (Update: not anymore to be honest, my last two visits were not good at all)

I can only say one thing about Maharani: Excellent! The decor is nice and not kitschy at all. The entire staff is attentive and extremely friendly and helpful. The food was an absolute poem, really excellent. The prices are absolutely reasonable considering the quality offered. In short: we will definitely come back here.

Excellent food. Authentic food. Nice people.

Very, very tasty Indian restaurant with authentic cuisine and atmosphere. The price-performance ratio is reasonable and the selection of dishes is very large. You can also decide for each dish how spicy you like it. The mango lassi is also fresh and homemade :0)

Very tasty food and friendly service! Also have a very good lunch for under 10 euros!

We actually had a nice evening, the food was also good, but in the end we had to pay €33 for a bottle of Rotkäppchen sparkling wine (we had 3 bottles because of a big birthday) so a total of €99 and we felt a bit ripped off. A profit margin of €30 is simply too much per bottle.

An absolute recommendation, an absolute MIRACLE in the heart of Grindel. The vegan one is so incredibly tasty and well prepared. The service is extremely friendly and I didn't want to leave because of the full enjoyment. Please definitely dine here, especially the vegan dishes are absolutely on point!

Best Indian in North Germany - a must have for anyone who loves Indian cuisine 🫶🏻.

The restaurant is located in an inconspicuous high-rise complex. It is lovingly furnished and is also accessible to people with walking difficulties. The toilets are at ground level, but it can be difficult with a wheelchair without assistance. In addition to chairs, there is also the option to sit in comfortable armchairs.

Best Indian in the area - super authentic cuisine and somehow a rustic atmosphere

as always: tasty, fast, friendly, pleasant

The best Indian restaurant I have ever visited. A successful evening

Awesome Indian food good kitchen staff ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

An insider tip in the Grindelviertel Many people would pass by this restaurant if they hadn't seen any reviews beforehand. The cooking method, the spices and the interaction are unique. At lunchtime, guests should ideally be there from 12:00 p.m. so that they can choose a seat in a relaxed manner. Maharani is more than coming to eat. It's like a short vacation.

We had excellent food and, in addition to excellent service, there is also a great atmosphere here. It's a little too warm, but when the place is full and delicious food is kept warm everywhere, that's not surprising.

It was a dream, so delicious food. Gladly again.

One of the best Indian restaurants i have visited so far in Europe. Good food Amazing ambience Good service Every perfectly organised.

In short, everything is good. We were particularly impressed by the home shower.

I used to love being here so much. Unfortunately the quality of the food has deteriorated. This is the second time I've had food that went bad. I like to order dishes from the “original Indian vegetables” section. These dishes are probably not ordered that often and the vegetables are therefore not freshly cooked. My lotus roots were already dark in color and tasted rotten, bitter and sour. Very, very bad. The chef must notice something like that. I gave the food back and there was no apology, nothing. You may have better luck if you order the usual dishes. I am very disappointed and will not be coming back.

Vegan starter came with paneer, Despite the fact that we had pointed out “vegan” three times (when reserving a table, handing over the menu, ordering explicitly) The 5 ordered different non-vegan main courses all identically. Tomato decoration tasted very layered. Fruit in the food tasted fermented. Not again.

One of the best in Hamburg. Had amazing time eating here good food friendly ambience

Indian restaurant very tasty food and nice staff Hard to find parking space Otherwise everything is fine

In our world ranking, the Maharani made it to number 3. In Germany, it made it to number 1. Super tasty food, beautifully seasoned and served with a very tasty naan. It couldn't be better.

Super delicious food, nice service, great vegan and vegetarian options. My favorite Indian restaurant in Hamburg!

The best Palak Paneer in Hamburg and the nicest service!

I didn't miss anything. That's why you get all the points. I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala here for the first time and was worried when I was served a hissing and steaming pan of raw poultry meat. I like it welldonne! So first I enjoyed the starter bread with mint sauce and lo and behold: the dish was cooked and tasty.

Very authentic restaurant . The decoration is traditional , the food and service is great ! What else can I say ? If you’re in Hamburg and looking for an Indian restaurant please consider this one ☝️

Best Indian restaurant in town!!! Food quality is top-notch. Chicken Tandoor was too good. Highly recommended

Great Day. Nice Food. Thank you

Great atmosphere, very kind staff, huge selection of very delicious dishes. I'll keep coming back and slowly try them all 😁

Everything was absolutely delicious. I was here for the first time and my whole outfit smelled of spices 🤭. For days.

Nice Indian restaurant, delicious food, nice, attentive staff. We would be happy to come back

Very nice restaurant with warm and very attentive service. The food was very tasty, the price was ok. I'd love to come back!

Everything fresh, everything delicious!

The restaurant is very nicely and comfortably furnished. The staff were also very friendly and the food was delivered quickly. A big advantage is the lunch menu. Here you can get a delicious dish from just €9.50.

We were passing through and had a craving for Indian food. So turned on Google Maps, started the search and found the Maharani. The restaurant is located in the basement of a high-rise building, which initially put us off a bit, but based on the many positive reviews we were tempted and went there. Positive: we were warmly welcomed and when we ordered the food we were asked if we wanted the “spiciness”. The food looked very nice visually, with carved carrots and tomatoes. Negative: really run down furnishings, dust everywhere, cobwebs and the menus were torn and smeared. The first drink order went wrong, a non-carbonated cola came, so I returned it. When the food came, we were disappointed in the taste. You know the tender chicken meat that you get at every Indian restaurant and that melts in your mouth, but that wasn't the case here. Furthermore, I found the toilets to be anything but clean, especially since there was a cuddly toy hanging on the ceiling, which was supposed to cover a hole (see photos). I would prefer not to say a word about the audience we met there. Someone who is heavily drunk and comes into a restaurant at 1 p.m. and orders a bottle of wine without a glass and drinks it at the bar... I don't know if you should really bring such an audience into your house? Conclusion: my trust in reviews has decreased and we prefer to trust our gut feeling if we don't like a restaurant from the outside.

Amazing food and amazing staff. They both makes you feel like home. If you're an Indian and wish to eat spicy, they'll gladly do it for you :)
