Shiva in München

Authentic Indian food! Really enjoyed it. Attentive staffs and owner is friendly Tnq Bhai ji🥙👍🏼

I came to the restaurant with a group of friend with high expectations, unfortunately all disappointed. The food was mediocre and definitely too expensive for what offered. But the worst part was definitely the service, slow and with personnel quite rude. For example, when throwing on top of our clothes some sauces (obviously a mistake, nevertheless with some economic damage), they didn´t even apologise for it. Definitely not recommended if you´re looking for a relaxing dinner outside home.

Andiamo andiamo Shiva is one of the best Indian restaurants in munich. Really liked the mango curry and the chicken tika. Great vibe and small restaurant. Italian artist and greatest rapper Shiva brought me to this place. Gracie a me Gracie a dio alleluia. Also kind staff and good service .

Personal favorite restaurant, Because it is very cozy and everything is made with love! We've been going there for 10 years and even after trying other restaurants, none taste like this. A real gem in Munich!

I have yet to come across a better Indian Cuisine Style kitchen in all of Munich.

We (my girlfriend and I) ate at the Shiva restaurant in Munich today and would like to share our experience. The good things first... unfortunately our main course was served before the starters, but you can't fault the taste of the food. The curry was delicious and the starters were crispy. But let's get to the crux of the matter... the behavior of the waitress towards my girlfriend. No smiles, no questions about whether the food was tasty and in general she was more or less completely ignored. I have never experienced anything like this before and I still have the question of “why”? In conclusion, it can be said that the good food unfortunately couldn't save the evening and we won't be coming back. Too bad!

The food was consistently very tasty. Everything was super seasoned and aromatic. Service was friendly and not intrusive. The garden outside could be a little more comfortable. Prices are ok.

First time trying Indian food with my mom. I think i got the Chicken Masala, rice and paratha. And when I tell you it tasted SO delicious. I can't stop thinking about the next time I'll go here again cuz I definitely would. The couple running the restaurant are EXTREMELY nice and they give a very homie atmosphere and ask if everything's fine with you from time to time. This is really a place for be, so don't be hesitant to try this restaurant as it's GOOD 😊💖

Authentic Indian food! Really enjoyed it. Attentive staffs and owner is friendly 🥙👍🏼

Very nice experience, food extremely authentic and homely catered to us Indians' palette, worth every bit of money spent, would highly recommend

Best Indian food. We have been going here for decades. Favourites are Shahi Paneer and Haryali Chicken.

Good friendly service. Very tasty food.

I recommend this Indian restaurant, I have been here for four years and go there all the time, everything is very tasty❤️❤️❤️

Incredibly delicious Indian with friendly service! Happy to come back!

By far my favorite Indian restaurant for many years. Great food and very nice service.

Incredibly good food - perfect taste experience

A visit to this restaurant is the highlight of my week. The food always meets my taste, the service is always warm and friendly.

Very tasty and the conditions were very friendly and attentive.

My absolute favorite of all Indian restaurants in Munich. First class North Indian cuisine.

Still reasonably normal prices for varied food and friendly service. It's not the Indian monotony that you get everywhere else. Attention: If it says "very spicy" on it, it is also very spicy. :-)

Wow!!! 😋 The food is excellent 🥰 Fast and friendly service. ✨️It's worth a visit👉👍🏻

Good homely Indian food in Munich, Germany. Visited on 08th Dec'23

The food was really stale...I had ordered Butter chicken and the chicken was rotten and had a foul odour. When i informed them very politely they were arguing that it's not a normal butter chicken this is the authentic one which spoiled my whole night in washroom. Really AUTHENTIC

Schönes Ambiente leckeres Essen

Super Essen und sehr nettes Personal, gerne wieder

The food was Ok. On a different note, considering the name of the restaurant is Shiva and they serve Beef I don't think they are even Indian.

Ich kenne viele indische Restaurants, doch das trifft meinen Geschmack am Besten. Abgesehen davon ist der Service auch überragend.

Overrated place with poor service. Undistinguished flavors, typical for many Indian restaurants on the European continent. Never again

Gute indische Küche in einem kleinen Restaurant in der Augustenstrasse. Zu Mittag gegessen, Mittagskarte, Lamm Masala. Das Gericht hatte eine schöne Würze, genau richtig von der Schärfe her, dazu gekochten Reis. Guter Service, der Chef bediente persönlich, Preise ok, vom Stil her ist dann doch mehr Wirtshaus als posh. Klare Empfehlung für jeden der ein unkompliziertes indisches Restaurant sucht.

I haven't tried all Indian restaurant's in Munich, but of the many I have, I can confidently say that Shiva is one of the best. I've been coming here for years, and it has always been outstandingly good. The food is cooked true to Indian style and is not adapted to European/ German tastes. The Tikka recipes are a must-try, and are served sizzling on a hot-pan. Otherwise, there is a big selection of other main courses, all of which I can recommend. If you’re not a rice fan, try the naan bread; my favourites are the butter naan and the keema naan. The service is friendly and the interior oozes India without being ostentatious. The outside terrace is colourful, inviting and cosy.

La comida es muy rica y hay gran variedad de platillos. Las salsas de entrada son deliciosas. El servicio es muy amistoso y simpático.

Ambiente super agradável e comida maravilhosa! Super recomendo

Das Essen hat 1 Stunde gedauert bis es kommt. Wir waren zu viert.

Fü uns das beste indische Restaurant Münches. Wirklich authentisch.

Sehr, sehr leckeres Essen und extrem freundlicher Service.

Das Essen dort ist sehr gut und wenn man sagt das man das Essen scharf will, dann kommt man es auch scharf.

This place is super underrated. I visited from Seattle, and have a very high bar for Indian food. We tried the Dal Makhani, Chicken Vindaloo, Dal Tadka, Garlic Naan, Rice, Laccha Paratha, Palak Paneer. Everything on the table was very memorable. I never expected to find this level of quality in Munich of all places. Spicy by Indian standards, flavorful, excellent and fast service (our waiter was very kind and made us feel like we were invited to someone’s home). Highly recommend! So cheap too, this meal should easily be worth 1.5-2x. Spent €80 for 5 people.

Auf Empfehlung von Freunden mit ihnen da gewesen. Sehr herzlicher und freundlicher Empfang. Man fühlt sich direkt wohl aufgehoben. Es hat zwar über eine Stunde gedauert, bis wir unser Essen bekamen, aber dafür war es wirklich sehr gut. Jeder von uns Vieren hat seinen individuellen Schärfegrad bekommen. Ich komme sicher wieder hierher und kann dieses Restaurant wärmstens weiter empfehlen.

HIGHLY recommend Shiva, amazing food! This is legitimate and proper Indian food! Had the paneer pakora, palak paneer, lasan naan, sweet lassi, and chai.

Für Familie und Singels - tolle Aussensitzmöglichkeit - Kinder können in der Umrandung nicht verloren gehen - Nebenstraße - leckeres Essen zu gutem Preis und sehr freundlicher Service - kenne ich seit 2000 - menschlich -nah und lecker

Bestes indisches Restaurant in München! Aufmerksamer und höflicher Service

Leckeres Essen! Hab zum mitnehmen bestellt. Gerne wieder!

Ruhiges und sehr entspanntes Ambiente, angenehme Gäste (viele Stammgäste, was für das Lokal spricht) und sehr freundliches und aufmerksames Personal. Kulinarisch vielseitig und perfekt nach Wunsch des Gastes gewürzt. Ordentliche Portionsgrößen - gutes Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis.

Geschmacklich das beste indische Restaurant in München. Sehr freundliches Personal. Empfehlungen: Paneer Pakora, Murgh Korma, Chicken Vindaloo.

This restaurant offers variable vegan dishes based on lentils, chickpeas or vegetables served with rice. I highly recommend the Okra vegetables with a red sauce and mild spiciness induced by some aromatic chili (mixed-in) and a tiny chili on top so one can choose to add more hot flavor. The atmosphere is as well cosy and sophisticated. Reminder for vegans: Don't assume Chai as simple tea with spices, it is sweetened and based on cow's milk. ;) (yet the restaurant offers a tasty one, I reckon as of high quality)

Geheimtipp in München. Das Essen ist ziemlich authentisch und hat ein Gütesiegel von meiner Freundin aus Indien bekommen. Das Personal ist auch freundlich! --English-- Hidden gem in Munich. Food is quite authentic and got a seal of approval from my friend from India. Staff is friendly as well!

Leckeres und authentisches Essen und sehr freundlicher Service.

Super leckeres Essen & top Service!

Einfach ein super indisches Restaurant und das seit mindestens 30 Jahren

The restaurant is amazing. The food is really awesome and the service is also very quick. The food was just very good. I just thought it's a bit expensive compared to other restaurants bit for the taste it provides, it's worth paying g the premium. I would totally recommend this restaurant for amazing taste.

Vi spiste frokost og maden var god. Smagte godt, men lidt dyr pr. Person ift. hvad du fik. Betalte 21€ for en karry-ret med ris og nanbrød og et glas vand

We really enjoy the great food and good service! Definitely an authentic Indian restaurant with all sorts of well made Thali, Dal and Biryanis.

Wir gehen hier schon Jahrzehnte essen. Es ist gleichbleibend HERVORRAGEND. Nicht mal in Indien, haben wir so gut gespeist. Sehr freundlich wird man bedient, die authentischen Gerichte sind außergewöhnlich lecker. Heute gehen bereits unsere erwachsenen Kinder mit ihren Kindern ins Shiva. Ein Highlight in München.

Ein sehr schöner Abend mit leckerem Essen. Hundefreundliches Lokal.

kleines und feines indisches Restaurant. Der Service ist sehr freundlich, das Essen frisch Und lecker.

Essen war gut aber nicht herausragend. Portionen eher klein. Service leider nicht vorhanden - meine Freundin saß zwei Stunden vor ihrem leeren Glas, der Kellner war verschwunden. Beim Bezahlen gab es dann eine mürrische Reaktion, weil wir getrennt zahlen wollten. Sowas kann ich nicht nachvollziehen.

Sehr höfliche Bedienung. Essen sind stets sehr lecker, wenn auch nicht herausragend. Eher für deutsche Gaumen. Das Chicken Dal kann ich empfehlen.

Ich war früher öfter hier und habe immer recht gut gegessen. Nicht sensationell gut, aber angesichts des Preis-Leistungsverhältnisses war es in Ordnung, Nach Jahren dieselbe Location fast unverändert vorzufinden, war überraschend, aber das Essen hat mich nicht mehr überzeugt. Meine Soße schmeckte ähnlich wie die meines Mannes, vage nach Curry, aber ohne Aromenvielfalt und war ein dicker, zäher Brei. Lieblos zubereitet, würde ich sagen. Willkommen fühlten wir uns auch nicht, eher wie lästige Ansinnensteller, die man mit Missachtung bedenkt.

Super freundliches und liebevoll eingerichtetes, authentisches indisches Restaurant. Waren zur Silvester Nacht im Shiva und wurden freundlich empfangen. Haben uns für 3 Fleischgerichte ( 1davon aus dem Tandoori) entschieden. Alle 3 Speisen waren super lecker, Reis konnte problemlos nachbestellt werden.

¡Estuve allí por muy poco tiempo! ¡Y me estaba mojando para cenar con mis amigos, así que mis amigos me recomendaron Shiva y nos fuimos allí! Y me sorprendió el restaurante en el que estuve allí el año pasado, así que estoy muy feliz de tener la misma prueba y pensamientos positivos. ¡Gracias nuevamente a mi amigo y familia Shiva! ! ! !

我在這裡吃了20多年了。雖然大多數評論都是積極的，但我讀到了一些描述食物平淡或油膩的評論。 我根本無法理解“乏味”或“油膩”。我想每個地方都會有美好的日子和糟糕的日子，但我可以說，在多次訪問濕婆之後，他們似乎主要是好日子。食物非常好吃，它絕對是我迄今為止慕尼黑最受歡迎的印度餐廳。服務總是很好，實際上非常好（

Pequeño y encantador café. El Pollo Tikka Masala era de el mejor que he tenido! Un montón de jengibre, pero me gustó eso! Gran Chai también! Me comí un plato de lentejas como bien pero no me gustó que como mucho.

Das Shiva ist ein kleines mit allem Kitsch ausgestattetes indisches Restaurant, das es an dieser Stelle schon seit viiieelen Jahren gibt. Da kann man den Alltag mal vergessen. Die Speisen sind durchweg lecker und von guter Qualität. Aber eine kleine Renovierung bei den sanitären Anlagen wäre mal toll.

Das Shiva ist ein kleines, etwas kitschig eingerichtetes Lokal. Obwohl ich die Einrichtung persönlich etwas übertrieben finde, fühle ich mich jedesmal, wenn ich da esse wohl. Das Essen ist ausgezeichnet und der Service immer nett und gastfreundlich. Für große Gesellschaften eher ungeeignet, aber für 2-4 Personen perfekt, um einen leckeren Indischen Abend zu verbringen. Die Preise sind absolut fein für die großen Portionen.

Service: Keine Spur von Herzlich- oder Freundlichkeit, Zustand der Toiletten unter aller Sau das Essen sehr fettig und schlecht gewürzt. Ich für meinen Teil werde dieses Restaurant sicher kein zweites Mal aufsuchen in doch (mein Tipp) beim Indian Villge bleiben...

I have been eating here for over 20 years. I read some reviews describing the food as bland or oily, although most of the reviews are positive. I cannot understand the "bland" or "oily" at all. I think every place will have good days and bad days, but I can say, after numerous visits to Shiva, that they seem to have mainly good days. The food is very tasty, and it is definitely my favorite Indian restaurant in Munich to date. The service is always good, actually excellent (but I am a regular. Still, it was good before I was as well). I can only recommend this restaurant. It is on the spicy side - which I love - so if the "safe" Indian food (not all that spicy hot) is what you are looking for, let them know ahead of time.

Als Indienliebhaber und -kenner haben wir uns in diesem kleinen Restaurant sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Thali mit Huhn, Ente und Lamm bot sehr unterschiedliche, allesamt sehr wohlschmeckende Geschmacksrichtungen. Sehr freundlicher Service durch den Inhaber des Lokals.

Shiva one of the best restaurant in munich we found.food was amazing special thali and mixed platter with fresh souse ! Excellent we loved it! And the owner so helpful to. So thanks and see you soon!!

Das Papadam und die Soßen waren sehr lecker :) Wir hatten ein Hähnchengericht und ein Lammgericht. Beides hat sehr ähnlich geschmeckt. Das Lammgericht war nur etwas säuerlicher. Aber beides war lecker, aber kein besonderes Highlight. Zum Nachtisch gab es dann als Deko Sprühsahne. Der Kellner war freundlich aber nicht sonderlich herzlich. Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es für die dreckige Tischdecken und die Sprühsahne.

Gut für tandoori chicken, saucenbasierte Gerichte aber nur leicht überm Münchner Durchschnitt, wobei rogan josh schon ganz gut ist ;)

In München eines meiner indischen Lieblings-Restaurants! Es ist klein, sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und bietet sehr leckeres indisches Essen an, mittags günstige Menüs. Der Service ist gut, die Mitarbeiter sind freundlich.

Shiva, although very small in size lies among the best Indian restaurants in Munich. Saying that, I must remind the readers that the Indian restaurants in Munich are generally quite ordinary in terms of quality and authenticity. Nevertheless, Shiva offers a cozy place with an extremely humorous owner/waiter (sarcastic). I would recommend the Kheema paratha (one of the best in town), bhuna gosht and peeli dal. Good value for money.

Shiva serves solid Indian food in good portions and with great service. Maybe not the best Indian food you'll ever have, but if you're in the area it's a sure stop. Reservations recommended!

Everytime we go there, we are not disappointed. The place itsself does not look so inviting, but try the food and you will be convinced and will come back. In the summertime you will find some seats to sit outside. Recommendation!

We were here for lunch and ordered from the Mittagskarte. The quantity was just right and the taste typical Indian. One trick that we have realised is that you tell the cook to make it the Indian way. We ordered Butter Chicken, Chicken Masala and Veg Korma along with Garlic Naan and simply loved it. The price for the afternoon is also quite decent and this makes the entire offering attractive. Recommended!

Staff is nonchalant towards Indian visitors. Food isn't authentic Indian either. Gravy seems the same for all the preparations.

The food was soooooo good!! Really delicious. The service was also very nice. My tomato soup was yum!

Depressingly familiar story when searching for Indian food in Munich - don't bother. Bland curries and tandoori, poor pilau rice, reasonable naan bread, hefty bill.

Being an Indian, would like to recommend this restaurant to all the lovers of Indian food. The taste and Ambiencr is exactly what you find in India. In an average a Single person Can Relish the Indian meal in around 15-18 euros. Do try chicken curry , Salted Lassi and Its butter naan.

Awesome food! Absolutely delicious!! I just loved it!!! The place is very nice too, and the food is so delicious that it is impossible not to came back!!

I've been there several times and have never been disappointed. Great food, good service, reasonable prices, especially around lunch hour. Entire crew afaik is from India; the cook certainly is. I'd recommend it any day.

I visited Munich earlier this year and had a terrible experience at Shiva. The food is oily and without taste. It is one of the worst Indian restaurants I have been to. The service is also awful- especially given how expensive the mains are. There are much better Indian restaurants nearby such as Swagat and Kerala in case one is in Germany and looking for a good Indian meal.

Nice little Indian restaurant, with great lunch offers.. And they sure can cook!!!! I have tried almost all of their food, except lamb bases, coz I simply just don't eat lamb:) The restaurant has outdoor sitting area on summer, quiet nice, but for me personally...
