Restaurant Rila in München

Everything is very good, loud music doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Great food and service, nice crowd.

I walked around the English Garden on a leisurely Sunday. I wanted to try Bulgarian food for lunch, so I googled this restaurant. When I entered, the waiter was very friendly and greeted me, and enthusiastically introduced me to recommended dishes when I asked. The recommended lamb leg stew is really delicious! The meat is soft and tender without any mutton smell, and the stew on the bottom mixed with cheese is also quite delicious. It is the best food I have eaten during this week of business trip. I am very happy to find such a great restaurant. I will visit again next time I have the opportunity to travel to Munich~ The LAMMHAXE tasted really good! Thanks for a good recommendation. 😄😄😄

Update: apologies , I think I might have reviewed the wrong restaurant , before, giving it 3 stars😅 🙏 We are definitely coming to eat here sometime, thank you!!!🙏

Great good with amazing service

Having recently been to Bulgaria and loved the food, I was keen to try out this local restaurant and wasn’t disappointed! It’s a little more expensive than other places in the area, but the food was lovely.

We had a wonderful evening at Rila. Super nice, attentive service. Insanely good food. Great wine. Thank you. We felt very comfortable :)

I recently celebrated my birthday at this restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience on every level. The cuisine was absolutely delightful—authentic, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Each dish showcased the rich culinary traditions of Bulgaria, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The service was outstanding. The staff including Valentina was attentive, friendly, and made us feel special throughout the evening. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, adding thoughtful touches that made the celebration even more memorable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cozy, vibrant ambiance. Finally, the location was ideal—easy to find and conveniently situated, making it accessible for all our guests. I definitely recommend it!

Was on a work trip, and hadn’t eaten Bulgarian in several years and it was really delicious(I would even say better than what I have eaten in Bulgaria when I was there a few years back). The place was very pleasant and the owner was very extremely nice. Very good find.

+ very tasty, especially the meat! + good prices + nice waitress - Unfortunately, the waitress does everything herself, she could have more support... - a lot of waiting time Thanks anyway!

The environment is very nice. We asked for a simple dish to share. It was very nice, very tasty selection of Bulgarien delicatessen

I ordered a mutton fried pancake. It was so oily that it made me want to eat.

Food was outstanding. Red Mavrud was also very good. Super friendly service and a good ambiance. Two thumbs up

Very tasty food and very nice people!

Very tasty changing lunch specials at a great price-performance ratio!

I think this may have been the best pork I've ever had in my life. I had the shashlick. Wow! Amazing! The sausage was very good too, but the pork was incredible. I think it was the spice rub, but it may also have been the cut of meat. It was flawless. We are now planning a trip to Bulgaria to see if we can recreate this meal.

Great atmosphere and staff, especially amazing food.

Had herbal polenta with cheese and grilled veggetables. Exquisite taste, fair price, and excellent presentation.

Excellent food and friendly owner. The quality justifies the slightly higher prices. I'd love to come back.

Wow, the meal feels so rich when it is served. It is hard to imagine that it is a meal for 2 people. The CP value is very high. The taste is quite strong and the meat is very soft. Be sure to order their beer and try the taste from different breweries. The whole thing tastes delicious. Because it was so delicious, I accidentally overate it again, and now my stomach feels bloated. Mamma Mia~ Coming to Germany to enjoy food from different countries is also a good food trip. I look forward to giving it a try with the locals. By the way, the boss and employees are very enthusiastic, remember to chat with them more.

The boss and his wife are very enthusiastic, the meals have high CP value, and the food is delicious. Please remember to enjoy it with beer! Very delicious, highly recommended, please come and try Bulgarian food, you won’t be disappointed👍👍👍❤️

We had a very good dinner here! The portion size is great, so you can also have a starter or a dessert without bursting 😅 The service was super friendly. The food came quickly. The local itself is also really nice. It's easy to sit outside, even though you're sitting on the street, as there was virtually nothing going on on the street.

We celebrated a birthday there and the staff was more then helpful! Food is incredible, presentation of food as well! Recommend 100%

Very tasty and generous meat plate, quality wine too. Polite and friendly service Unfortunately only cash accepted

Excellent meal!!! Great service! Only to recommend!

Truly wonderful meat, kind staff Thank you so much for the beautiful service

Cozy, quiet place, with delicious cuisine, fairly reasonable prices, excellent staff.

Een warme sfeer met zeer vriendelijke bediening en enorm lekkere gerechten. De gerechten waren zo lekker en zo interessant opgediend dat ik zeker terug zou willen komen. De prijzen vielen ook enorm mee. Ik ben enorm blij dat ik dit restaurant heb gevonden.

Incredibly delicious author's food, pleasant atmosphere and wonderful service! I fell in love with the kebabs, potatoes and tiklanika! Highly recommend!

This is the most delicious food that was prepared with a lot of love and professionalism. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

Food very tasty, portions are large, prices for what is on offer and the location is clearly okay. Unfortunately there was no mayo with the fries upon request, otherwise a real little cozy insider tip :-) thanks to the team and the kitchen! Editing: 2nd visit on 08/09/24 Celebrated my birthday here today, everything was so delicious Today there was no soup of the day, but there were fantastically good desserts We are all raving about this amazing dining experience! :-)

Enjoy your meal. No Bulgarian beer. Place not particularly clean. You can use toilets.

Good food and beer but not that great service and atmosphere.

Very bad how the operators (sitting, drinking wine) chased the poor but very committed waiter around on a Saturday evening all by themselves and from above without actually getting up themselves. We're not really demanding, but unfortunately the food doesn't correspond to the slightly exorbitant price. Affordable quality greets you.

High quality of food, owner and service very kind. Great experience!!

Is this what carbon-based organisms can do/think/speak?

I had the traditional eggplant waw delicious

I originally came here because I had never tried Bulgarian cuisine before and wanted to try it for the first time out of curiosity. I was lucky because I found one of my favorite restaurants in the city and loved the cuisine. I have been here several times now and I can guarantee that it is always a delicious meal and a great setting. The service is always top notch, especially Valentina. She takes good care of you and gives 100%. You won't find that anywhere else in Munich! Apart from all the food, in terms of alcohol, I highly recommend Bulgarian wines and of course the traditional rakija, very tasty! 10/10 for everything.

Everything was perfect! Thank you

Great cozy Bulgarian restaurant! Great service, high quality, very tasty food, excellent wines and beautiful presentation of the dishes. I’d love to come back again!

Super delicious food and great innkeeper.

Best restaurant in all of Munich! The food is absolutely delicious and the presentation is stunning as well

Delicious food. Good portions. Nice service

Good & tasty food. But they only take cash.

Such a cosy atmosphere. The owner was super kind and generous to us. Food was super delicious! I truly recommend it.

This is a place I would recommend 100 times. Be sure to try the meze starter. It's a lot, so think carefully before ordering. I will go again when I come to Munich.

I recently visited Munich on business and was pleasantly surprised to find that there is a Bulgarian restaurant. I visited twice during my stay. The food was magnificent and the attitude of the owners very hospitable. However, what I did not see was other Bulgarians. Thousands of Bulgarians live in Munich and I can't explain why they don't visit it. During my stay I visited a Greek and a Turkish restaurant. You can't get away with Greeks and Turks respectively. People support each other far from their homeland. I hope more Bulgarians will read what I wrote and go and eat delicious Bulgarian feasts. And to your lovely family, I want to thank you for the delicious food and I will visit you again on my next business trip.

Really tasty food, with a good variety of options. I had a bean stew with grilled meat and pitta bread, while my wife enjoyed a vegetarian dish with aubergines. If you enjoy Greek or Turkish food, this has some similarities, but it also it has its own individual qualities that you won't find anywhere else. I shall be going back for more!

A solid and friendly restaurant, the food is absolutely ok! It's best to call and reserve. What wasn't so good was the loud music!

Good food in a quiet place close to the center

Great place with excellent food

A restaurant that you HAVE to find. It is the first and only modern Bulgarian restaurant in Munich. The owners like their restaurant because they express it with excellent food, service and ambience.

The best traditional Bulgarian food restaurant in Munich! Excellent service, super good food! And the appropriate portions for the price! I recommend this restaurant!

This was our first visit to the Bulgarian restaurant. The ambiance is nice and cozy. Meze (appetizer) was very nice and more than enough for 4 people. A friend really liked the beans (Bob &Grill). The other main dishes were way too greasy. Loup de mer, veggies and polenta side were soaked in oil, it was not really edible. Tikalnik was tasty, but also too greasy. Good service.

Very nice restaurant and very tasty (vegetarian) food!

We visited the restaurant as a large group with a small dog. The staff was super friendly and the food was amazing! I definitely recommend this place

Everything was perfect! Really warm and nice people.

We recommend! Very good food and service

The meal was excellent. The point deduction was for the service. It certainly wasn't the last time here.

Unsere erste Erfahrung mit bulgarischer Küche war fantastisch! Die Meze waren sehr fein und wunderschön angerichtet. Dazu hatten wir den Bohneneintopf - auch sehr zu empfehlen. Der Service war freundlich und aufmerksam und auch die Gerichte der anderen Tische sahen sehr gut aus. Absolute Empfehlung!

We celebrated my wife's birthday with couple friends. The atmosphere inside was great and cozy. The portions were very generous. However, the taste of the food does not exactly matches the quality of the restaurant in general. The salt rate was too much in all the dishes, meze platter could have been greatly improved by adding a garlic bread. With that saying, I do not mean the food was bad. It was good but if it can be slightly improved, this restaurant definetely deserves a five star rating.

I am on a medically restricted diet so i had restrictions but what I had - polenta and goat cheese- was brilliant. MY friend ordered a traditional dish and loved it.

Sehr gutes Essen, Personal und Inhaber sehr zuvorkommend. Unserer wünsche wurden zu 100% erfühlt, kann man auf jeden fall empfehlen.

Sehr gemütliches Ambiente. Freundliches und willkommendes Personal. Das Restaurant ist sauber und ordentlich. Das Essen ist sehr gut. Preis Leistung ist mehr als man sich erwartet. Man wird leicht satt und der Geschmack ist top! Sehr weiterzuempfehlen!

Sehr große und leckere Portionen, nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal, angenehmes Ambiente

It was relaxing eating here. Waiter was very nice and polite. I think the owner was also around when I went there; he’s service oriented, I would say. He came around a couple of times to check if everything was okay. I felt welcomed and would go here again and also recommend. The food was good too 😋

Хубава храна,Добро отношение,пркрасни хора и атмосфера.Благодарим за всичко на целиа персонал на ресторант РИЛА

Tolle Atmosphäre, freundliches Service und das Essen war perfekt. Gute Portionen, sehr gut vorbereitet und die Präsentation war auch 5/5. Kann nur weiterempfehlen!

Sehr gutes, deftiges Essen, große Portionen, liebevoll serviert, Preis/Leistung stimmt, sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Chefin, empfehlenswertes Restaurant.

Sehr schönes Ambiente mit Top Personal und sehr leckerem Essen😁 Ein wunderschöner Abend

И обслужване и храна бяха на ниво.Благодарности към персонала!

Fuimos en familia, nunca habiamos probado comida bulgara, nos encantó, el trato muy amable. Lo recomiendo

Das Essen war wirklich besonders lecker, Hähnchen-Spieß vor allem!

Just had a cup of tea, fine - 5stars for the atmosphere and music -no comment or shocked on more than 20 penny coins received for the sake of card free payment, or not tipping more than 25% -service level is rather less than expected from a student doing part time job, unfriendly unfortunately well, not everyone can be happy:)

🇧🇬Das Restaurant Rila ist das beste bulgarische Restaurant für immer 🇧🇬

Ein feiner Abend an einem schönen Ort. Wir haben uns willkommen gefühlt und einfach fantastisches bulgarisches Essen bekommen. So macht es Spass!

Rila was an unexpected find on our trip to Munich and it was the best food we ate by far. My friends and I enjoyed it so much that we bought 3 bottles of the Bulgarian wine to take home to the US and we will recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to Munich in the future. The sauces were perfectly spiced and the meats were marinated and cooked to perfection.

Sehr schönes Ambiente, zuvorkommende Bedienungen und sehr leckeres Essen.

Sehr leckeres und etwas ausgefallenes Essen. Atmosphäre ist auch Recht gemütlich. Schönes Weinsortiment aus Bulgarien, leider auch recht teuer. Mezze Platte ist auf jeden Fall ein Highlight, wobei auch die vegetarischen Gerichten sehr lecker waren.

Много приятно и уютно. С удоволствие бих посетила пак!

Das Restaurant Rila bietet eine köstliche bulgarische Küche in einem schlichten und eleganten Ambiente. Das Interieur trägt zur angenehmen Atmosphäre bei, und das Personal ist äußerst zuvorkommend, hilfsbereit und effizient. Die Portionen sind großzügig bemessen, und das Essen ist schlichtweg köstlich. Ein Besuch im Rila ist ein kulinarisches Erlebnis, das ich auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen kann.

Ein unvergesslicher Abend! Sehr schönes Ambiente, top Personal und geschmacklich eines der Besten Essen, was wir in München verspeisen durften!

Гортаючи рекомендації ресторанів в Мюнхені, ми побачили заклад Rila і зрозуміли, що вже не хочемо німецької кухні, а маємо прийти саме сюди. Це малесенький сімейний ресторан, який знаходиться на тихій вулиці. Ми прийшли ніби до власників цього закладу додому, настільки там було комфортно, одразу познайомилися із сусідами за столом і замовили їжу. Жінка, яка нас обслуговувала-власник цього закладу, разом із чоловіком вони підходили до кожного та розмовляли і приділяли багато уваги. Нам сказали зачекати, тому що багато замовлень. Коли нам принесли їжу, просто казанок їжі! у нас відняло мову. Ми не розуміли, чому відвідувачі беруть їжу з собою. А тому що там величезні порції і їх нереально з'їсти, а дуже хочеться. Сама страва-це щось нереальне! Це дуже смачно! Декілька видів м'яса, сосиски, картопля. ... Перчик, як вдома❤️ Кабачки я не люблю, але ці кабачки мали просто чудовий смак. Нам принесли фреш із фруктів! Не сік з пачки! А фреш! Дуже смачний, а головне без хімії. Пірленка (якщо написала не вірно виправте мене)-хліб з сіллю та спеціями, був нереально смачним😋 Це перший заклад в якому я їла з такою насолодою, про що я і сказала власниці, після чого вона принесла нам традиційний болгарський алкоголь. Тут найсмачніша їжа, яку я коштувала😋 Це найкомфортніший заклад👐 Я однозначно рекомендую цей ресторан😋 P.S. Так, ми теж не з'їли всю порцію, тому в нас ще й був смачний сніданок😉

Sehr leckeres Essen, schönes Ambiente und die Besitzer sind super herzlich. Würde jederzeit wieder kommen ☺️

The absolute best SCHASCHLIK I've ever had! Portions big enough to feed two people and an owner that welcomes you like you're part of the family. Highly recommended! Bring your friends and bring an empty stomach 😄 Mit Abstand das SCHASCHLIK das ich je hatte! Die Portionen sind groß genug für zwei Personen und der Besitzer gibt einem das Gefühl Teil der Familie zu sein. Absolute Empfehlung! Bringt eure Freunde mit und kommt mit leerem Magen 😄

First time at a Bulgarian restaurant, really nice and cozy atmosphere. The food has unique flavors with very generous portion, especially recommending Bob Grill (the bean dish) and Satch. Overall an amazing experience with friendly services.

24yr old from california USA. This was the best dinner spot we had gone to. I’m not a red wine drinker but the Bulgarian wine was phenomenal and the service was great food was great (I got the snatch for two and all the meats were so good) the food is filling and tasty. intimate place with cool vibe. Perfect place to enjoy drinks with friends or go on a romantic date.

Wonderful atmosphere. Great food and super friendly ownership! Loved it a lot! Cheers from Florida!

Eten was echt heel lekker en bijzonder. Onze ober was super vriendelijk en stond altijd klaar voor vragen of een leuk praatje. Het restaurant is klein maar door de inrichting heel huiselijk en gezellig. Aanrader!

It was our first time in a Bulgarian Restaurant, and we instantly fell in love with the food and the people. This restaurant is run by a very friendly couple. They and their staff just make you feel at home. The food is prepared with only fresh ingredients and it’s perfectly cooked and seasoned. Next time in München, we definitely go back. Thanks to the entire Rila team. ❤️

Замечательное место, очень вкусная еда и отличный сервис, однозначно рекомендую! Отдельно хочу отметить десерт, восторг!

Очень радушный прием, отличный сервис. Еда вкусная, пиво тоже. Отличное место!

За 5 дней, что я провёл в Мюнхене, это оказался лучший ресторан, с лучшей едой, лучшим сервисом и лучшей атмосферой с очень демократичными ценами. Рекомендую всем, кто любит вкусно и плотно поесть.

Berenjenas rellenas, y el pastel de hojaldre relleno, ambos vegetarianos, estaban muy bueno. Atención excelente. Lugar acogedor.

Sehr gemütliche Ambiente, tolles Essen und Dessert. Am Wochenende gute Stimmung und Musik, Cocktails und ganz nette Personal.

This is probably the best Balkan (and especially Bulgarian) cuisine restaurant in a radius of 1200km. Everything is deliciously prepared and skillfully served. The personnel is very kind and helpful with choosing the meals. The meals are exactly as we knew them from our visits in the Balkans and the variety is good. The owners even prepares the desserts on their own, which is not very common nowadays - most buy them somewhere. Great experience!

Wholehearted recommendation for the place. Service is excellent with attention from the owners themselves. Food is very high quality. The kekstorte (I hope I remembered the name correctly!) specifically is to die for. I asked and it seems the owners make it in-house. But the rest of the food was great as well. I had brandy and salad for starters and grilled meat for main dish. The place is easily accessible even though it is not on a main street - it's a few min walk off the U Bahn stop.

Wein &Dinner Super nette und freundliche Atmosphäre,Essen war ausgezeichnet. Vielen Dank, Shef Dimitrov!

The host is very friendly. Food has very reasonable portion with moderate price comparing to other restaurants in Munich. Foods are well seasoned, nicely presented. The Bulgarian wine was really good, definably more than 200ml. Oh the play nice uplifting music as well. You won't be disappointed.

Anläßlich des NTE-Kongreßes waren wir zu Mittag in dem Lokal. Obwohl die Teilnehmer angemeldet waren, war kein Personal für eine rasche Abwicklung vorhanden und es gab nur vier warme Essen - keinen Salat oder etwas anderes Leichtes. Wir haben noch nie eine so schlecht gewürzte Moussaka gegessen, dafür aber mit 19,00 Euro die Teuerste - und dann wurde sie zunächst auch noch kalt serviert. Einmal und nie wieder !
