Surahi - Indisches Spezialitäten Restaurant in München Schwabing in München

Lunch specials are always very tasty, inexpensive and recommended!!!! However, I didn't think dinner was that good. The furnishings in the basement are cozy! The outdoor terrace is just makeshift right on Hohenzollernplatz with little space.

The food was good, but the service manager was unprofessional and rude. He initially refused to honor the discount from our reservation through TheFork app and clearly did not want to follow the company’s policy. Only after I threatened to file a complaint via email did he agree to apply the discount. This kind of behavior is unacceptable for a restaurant that wants to be seen as respectable. I do not recommend visiting this place.

Service was the worst. However the food was great and the place is decent. —edit with further details— When we arrived, the restaurant was completely empty. We requested to sit at a table with six seats along the wall, which was initially refused. Later, after moving to a smaller table as instructed, we were told we could move back to the original table — a confusing and unnecessary back-and-forth that did not make us feel welcome. We ordered two main dishes and had a valid reservation using a voucher, which had no requirement to order drinks. Despite that, the server repeatedly insisted we order a beverage, implying the restaurant would not benefit otherwise. We politely declined, but the pressure continued, making the dining experience uncomfortable — especially when it carried over into the payment process. Regarding the thermal bottle mentioned in your reply: it was not a Lidl water bottle, nor were we ever asked to remove it. It was a sealed thermal flask containing coffee, placed on the table to avoid potential leakage into a backpack carrying a laptop. We were never approached or warned about this during our visit, so referencing it now in a public comment feels unfair and inaccurate. We were looking forward to enjoying your food — which was indeed good — but the overall experience was negatively impacted by how the service was handled. I hope this feedback is taken constructively to help improve the experience for future diners.

30% of the order was not delivered in an almost empty store. Taste ok but not amazing. Local is around Keller.

Starter and main course tasted excellent (33 mixed starter platter & 531 Malai Kabab) fast and friendly service, highly recommended.

Delicious experience! I was tempted by the opinions and I was not disappointed! We ordered takeaway food here three times and each time - great! Huge portions, fresh ingredients, dishes full of flavor and spices. Fast delivery and fair prices - I save it in my favorites and will come back 😍👌

Hidden gem in the heart of Schwabing!! Great choice of tasty dishes for all, particularly appreciated the large choice of vegan/vegetarian meals. Cozy atmosphere and nice decor, especially after the recent renovation. Service was very good and waiters friendly. Will definitely come back!

Very good food, very good customer service on delivery

We were here for the first time today and we were really impressed. Very nice service, the food came quickly and what can I say, gigantic. So delicious and fresh. Wonderfully seasoned. For us the best Indian in Munich so far.

I ordered here on Monday and they charged me the double. I just realised once I saw my bank statement. Edit: we solve the issue it was a typo that might have happened

I've been there twice so far and was very surprised by the good quality! A little different dishes on the menu, nice vegan options, but above all the taste is really comparable to the few very good Indian restaurants in Munich.

I was very disappointed. Eating something so-so. If you want to eat cheaply it's ok, so you shouldn't expect much from the food. There are better Indian restaurants in Munich. The employees are totally rude. I won't go there anymore...

For me this is the best Indian restoran in Munich! Authentic Indian, super delicious food and not overpriced. The waiters are very attentive and friendly. At the same time, the restaurant is very cozy and decorated with beautiful Hindu deities and devatas - that's definitely one of them for me. Everything is perfect! Unfortunately it has changed for the worse!!!! Firstly the new sign is not inviting, looks like a cheap ugly fast food restaurant!! Secondly, the new menu as well, not at all appealing. The worst thing is that the food no longer tastes particularly good, is oily and bland. The service is also no longer attentive and friendly as it used to be. The new sofas are nice, but tables are dirty. For me, Surahi was the woman with the water jug ​​(as the name means!) and super good food, I'm totally disappointed! What happened ???

New amazing vegan dishes with soja medallions. The vegetarian / vegan menu was already very nice. Now it's even better with these 2 new additions.

The “Butter” with the fried duck was not as expected since I could taste way more tomato sauce than I usually do in this typical indian dish.

I have eaten in this restaurant many times and the food has always tasted very good. Unfortunately I don't know what it is at the moment, but the food wasn't very tasty the last few times I was there and it doesn't come close to the food from a year ago. Unfortunately, the main course I had was little to no seasoning and couldn't really develop its flavor. Dishes, Paner Pakora, Mango Chicken and Naan Bread. Naan bread was super tasty just as it should be, paner pakora was also okay and tasted good but unfortunately my main course wasn't very good and didn't taste good. Let's get to the ambience: The atmosphere is actually very inviting. The individual tables are well positioned in their small niches and ensure cozy comfort. Unfortunately, some tables are not so visible. This means that the waiters actually have to stop by more often so that they can respond to the guests' wishes. Let's get to last night's service: Unfortunately this one wasn't good. I was welcomed and seated fairly quickly. That's a plus point. Another plus point was that I was asked very quickly what I wanted to eat. Unfortunately, when I chose my meal afterwards, I received a not so pleasant comment. Which I won't repeat. After this comment, I took a closer look at what kind of service I received. I noticed that the other tables kept asking if they were okay and if they needed anything else. Unfortunately that wasn't done for me. I also noticed that, for example, they had lit a candle for decoration, but unfortunately the Kallner didn't do that either. Because the different waiters went through the other tables several times, they were able to express their wishes more quickly and better. On the other hand, I always had to speak to different waiters and ask for things because my waiter, who was responsible for my area, never came to me. When it came time to pay, I saw the bill and didn't change the amount and didn't want to leave a tip because I wasn't generally happy with the whole situation. I also noticed that the other tables got a little attention in the form of a small shot of mangolassie or something and I didn't get that attention. Unfortunately, this waiter was very insistent on his tip and told me the amount twice in a row, the second time in a demanding tone, and when I asked for it and insisted on paying the amount, he said that the amount did not include the “service fee”. He wanted me to tip him. I said I would still like to pay the amount that was on the bill and payment was made. Then this waiter wasn't very enthusiastic and just left and didn't wish me a nice evening, no goodbye, nothing at all and just left. I'm usually used to good food and good service from this restaurant. Especially from the other waiters who have been working there for a long time. They already know me or know who I am because they said last time that I hadn't been there for a long time and they recognized me. Unfortunately my experience yesterday wasn't that great and I would like things to get better in general because I really enjoyed eating in this restaurant.

Not recommended for ordering on Friday evening. Waited 2 hours for the food and it was no longer warm.

We've been waiting for our food for over two hours, supposedly it has arrived - unfortunately no one responds to calls

Really delicious Indian food at a great price! The lunch menu is amazing - price and performance are perfect. The naan bread is absolutely amazing. I wasn't a fan of Indian - but I've been there several times a week for the past 4 weeks. My husband also loves it and I always have to bring naan with me in the evening. Absolute recommendation. Simply excellent quality!

Was there at lunchtime There was nothing going on It was better overall a few years ago Unfortunately the staircase entrance was neglected

I went during lunch time. The weather was bad so we had to eat inside, but the restaurant has a spacious and stylish atmosphere that makes you feel relaxed. You can choose soup or salad at a reasonable price. There are many kinds of main curry. ...I was surprised that there was a dessert at the end. This is a restaurant I would like to recommend.

My favorite that I order from. As always, the butter chicken with cheese naan is worth the money and I can only recommend it to everyone.

Ok, I’m ordering second time through delivery service. And I find it well organized and delicious but I specified 3 different spicy 🌶️ levels but all dishes came none spicy. 🤷🏻‍♀️ but we got a complementary or accidental Naan ☺️

This had to be my worse experience ever when I used delivery my food didn’t arrive after I spent a load of money then when I call them they told me the man was there when I received no phone call or no signs of the food ariving and the man on the phone was so rude and uncomplient

Good daal makhani, good naan and overall good food. Could have been a little more spicy and less sweet but really can’t complain. It was a good Indian meal we ordered in and enjoyed.

Very, very tasty food, 100% recommendation. Great naan bread and delicious chai like in India 😍

There is no reason to deduct Stars here. Granted, it was not the absolutely best indian food I ever ate, but i also had far worse. We had Tikka Marsala and Butter Chicken with Naan and Rice, some drinks and were nicely full afterwards. Only thing was that we ordered indian spicyness and it was, hmm Medium european Chili Power. I guess thats better than transforming guests into Dragons and dealing with complaints. We made the Reservation via the fork, and the discount was initially not apllied. After telling the waiter again, however, everything worked out. So, 4.5 Stars, rounded up to 5, because thats how it is...

Great food. Very good price performance 👍

Ok for a spontaneous dinner, when in the Hohenzollernplatz area, otherwise quite a standard setting and offer of an “standard Indian restaurant in Munich” - portions are quite generous though. Plus point - they have Old Monk in stock, that supplements their creamy Palak Paneer just right. Service was friendly but rather uninterested as we were ordering and later waited for a check for 10 min with a very low occupancy overall.

Awesome food , nice service, great cushion, well parking slots

Everything was great - I'd love to come back!

My girlfriend and I ordered food here via Uber Eats. Delivery went great and the food was very delicious. Above all the samosas and the naan. Definitely not the last time! :)

Have been there a few times now and the food is very tasty.

I don’t usually write online reviews, but my experience has pushed me to do so - I may have still ignored the bad food, but the horrible and shameless attitude is something that really needs to be made known to public. With lot of respect for India and pride of Indian Values, I would strongly recommend to NEVER Take any other Foreign National with you to this restaurant, even if you ever tend to make a mistake of going yourself - we took a German Friend with us, trusting Google Rating and Reviews, and I can’t express the level of embarrassment as well as shame for my country I felt today. Food was stale, with terrible taste - not even a single item we ordered was worth eating. Since the moment we entered the restaurant till we left it, the owner was shouting or fighting loudly and we did not have even a slight second of peaceful dinner. Though we were not asked for the feedback, which is a usual courtesy of Hospitality Business, asking whether we liked the food/enjoyed our meal, my friend couldn’t resist herself from sharing it, not as a complaint but a very genuine & refined feedback as a fellow country mate. And this is where they crossed all the limit like - we won’t prepare rice freshly and serve no, of course it is made only once in the morning, and we put only raw onions in the gravies - I must mention here, rice tasted/smelled like a day old. Thank you, with a big laugh to my friend’s comment about food not being good. We couldn’t believe what we witnessed and we both drowned in a sea of shame in front of our German Friend. This is not the India that we wanted to represent to him - in fact these are not in any way the Culture and Values of India. I feel extremely sorry that such people bring so much shame to the whole country and I so regret that I picked-up this restaurant to give our friend an experience of Indian Cuisine. This restaurant failed us in all the domains, highly disappointing. P.S. - I had to give 1 star rating for technical reasons, but honestly I would have rated them in negative if it was possible.

Worst taste. Don't represent this food as an Indian food. Please don't consider it as an Indian restaurant and go for Indian food. No where related to Indian cuisine. Nan tastes rejoicingly cold and dry. You have to eat your food on appetizer plates and drinks are not served either. The food is too salty and there is no service either. This restaurant is not recommended under any circumstances!!!

Visiting Munich and Order the food from here through Uber late on Sunday. Food was great! Service was good. However, upon delivery I was informed that the owner/restaurant keeps the tip left for delivery driver on the app and does not pass it on to the actual person doing the delivery.

One of the most authentic Indian food in Munich. Will be eating there for a while!

It doesn't normally taste bad here, but the mango cream last time was already spoiled and no longer edible.

Good restaurant, bigger than you might think from the outside, delicious food and good service. The prices are fair for the quality and location!

unhygienic and unhealthy look into condition of naan and mixed vegetables pakora also smell and fungus In pakora Poor quality of food unhygienic restaurant don't spoil your health have food

We were extremely dissatisfied with the incredible waiting times and the indifferent way they were treated.

Best Indian in the area. Good price-performance. I am always amazed by the kitchen. Lots of excellent chicken dishes. But there is also a large selection of vegetarian and lamb dishes. I can particularly recommend the Chicken Madras (spicy). Every now and then a naan is forgotten and unfortunately the staff have to remind you of it. But that's the only shortcoming. Mistakes happen.

Unfortunately, service is terrible... Food didn't arrive for over 2 hours and the restaurant ignored most of our calls while we waited. At some point the driver (driver from the restaurant, not Lieferando or similar) arrived with completely cold food and didn't even apologize for the delay. In the end, the boss or something from the restaurant got in touch, but unfortunately he didn't show any insight when we complained about the hour-long wait and the cold food.

We've been waiting for the food we ordered for 2 hours - sorry, but that's a no-go, with all understanding!

Be careful before ordering online. We waited two hours (!) for the food. Called and asked several times but was always rejected very rudely with the statement that it would now only take a maximum of 10 minutes - then it was still 45 minutes. Service and especially delivery time could really be better.

I think it's very, very good😍😍😍

We had lunch at lunch and it was extremely good.

Best Indian Food, I've ever tried. They even serve Halal Food. For those we paid 68,60€. It was really worth trying them. Highly recommended.

The food’s very tasty, service is very good too, I recommend. If you come once time you will come again

We arrived at 10:20 p.m., looked skeptical, but were urgently invited in. The waitress didn't seem enthusiastic, but what was brought was brought. Food (vegetarian thali for 2) was quite tasty, but the waitress suddenly brought the card terminal in the middle of the meal - you probably wanted to go home. Yes, it was 5 minutes before the end when he came, but the 10 minutes we still needed to finish eating could have been waited. It's a shame, the food would have been quite ok, but it wasn't really fun - so when you come in, it's better to say "sorry, it'll be too late"...

Worst chicken tandoori I ever had. The chicken was not cooked properly and not tasting at all like a tandoori. The middle age waiter's behavior was also rude. Even though he was Indian himself and when I try to speak in Hindi/English he was answering in German. No hello hi or welcome from the waiter too. He was not happy seeing an Indian eating in an Indian restaurent whereas he was super nice with the germans. The only good thing was the gulab jamun and seating arrangement. Will never try again.

I expected much more spicy food, but overall taste was okay. Service was quick and nice. the restaurant was clean. There were English descriptions on the menu, and they spoke English

I wrote several times in the order in German and English that I needed disposable cutlery because we were on the road. Nothing was packed

Overall, solid impression. Food was good, portions could be a bit larger. Service was okay, perhaps not overly attentive, waiting time a bit long, but still within limits.

Test is very good. Staffs are very kindly and supporting. Test feel like home.

Very good Indian with friendly service!

I ordered delivery twice in total and it was so delicious! I think I will order it often. Butter chicken, chicken tikka, and chili are all delicious ^_^

Lamb biryani is an embarrassment to Indian feast. As a Chinese lover of Indian food, I should be excited for my Indian friends. Maybe I ordered the wrong meal. But if you write biryani on the menu, please cook the food properly.

The service was perfect and the food was also tasty. Lunch prices are really good for the quality 👌🏽

I ordered food home and found it very tasty. But there should have been more meat in it, hence a point deduction.

You get the order fast. Really good food and the attention is also ok.

Ordered online only half was delivered. When we asked over the phone, they promised to deliver what was missing. However, she didn't. Simply collected the money and only half of it was delivered!!!!! What a disgrace!!!!

Sehr leckeres Essen, sehr freundliches Personal. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Very good restaurant which made me love Indian Food! I often go to this place when I’m in Munich. The prices are very low for such great food. I highly recommend this place.

Sehr gemütliches Restaurant, dank der außergewöhnlichen Architektur kann man falls gewünscht etwas zurückgezogen das leckere Essen genießen und findet auch Ruhe für Gespräche. Die Speisekarte bietet eine reichliche Auswahl an verschiedensten Speisen, alles was wir bisher probiert haben, war ausgezeichnet. Besonders begeistert waren wir vom Cheesynaan und der Chickensuppe. Preise für Essen und Getränke absolut in Ordnung. Wir sind inzwischen Stammkunden und sind stets zufrieden.

Surahi ist definitiv das beste indische Restaurant in München! Nachdem ich viele indische Restaurants ausprobiert habe, bin ich überzeugt, dass hier die Qualität und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt. Das Dal Makhni und das Butter Naan ist besonders empfehlenswert – ein absoluter Genuss!

Abendessen das einen Versuch verdient. Das Surahi bietet eine vielfältige Auswahl an Gerichten und hat einen angenehmes und Ambiente. Das Personal ist freundlich und aufmerksam. Die Speisekarte bietet eine große Auswahl an Vorspeisen, Hauptgerichten und Desserts. Mein Gericht war lecker allerdings hat mir die besondere Würze bzw. Aroma gefehlt. Die Portionen sind etwas zu knapp bemessen, sodass man eventuell noch einen kleinen Nachschlag vertragen könnte. Die Präsentation der Gerichte ist ansprechend vor allem die warmhalte Platte. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist die umfangreiche Getränkekarte. Allerdings gibt es ein paar Bereiche, in denen das Restaurant noch Raum für Verbesserungen hat. Zum Beispiel könnte die Atmosphäre durch eine dezente Hintergrundmusik oder eine ansprechendere Dekoration noch angenehmer gestaltet werden. Außerdem könnten die Speisekarte und die Website des Restaurants etwas mehr Informationen über die einzelnen Gerichte enthalten. Insgesamt bietet das Surahi eine solide Auswahl an indischen Gerichten in einer angenehmen Umgebung. Mit einigen Verbesserungen könnte es aber zu einem herausragenden Erlebnis werden. Ich gebe dem Restaurant daher 4 Sterne.

Such wonderful decor, there are many alcoves which make for more intimate dinning experiences. The food was some of the best we have had anywhere in the world (we travel a lot😂) We highly recommend it❣️

Unscheinbar im Souterrain, aber sehr beliebt im Stadtteil und der Nachbarschaft. Auch Expats kommen hierher zum Essen. Die Karte bietet die bekannten Klassiker, aber auch ein paar wenige seltenere Gerichte. Tipp: Das vegane Thali zum selbst zusammenbauen 🫶

Ein Kurzurlaub in München und ein Essen im Surahi - echt gute Entscheidungen. Das Personal echt nett, die Räumlichkeiten sehr ansprechend und gemütlich und das Essen sehr lecker. Wir bedanken uns und freuen uns auf ein nächstes Mal.

Not for South Indians. Don't expect spicy food. Apart from that, nice place, good ambience. Food's fine too.

Sehr gutes indisches Restaurant, direkt am Hohenzollernplatz. Schöne Lage und bei gutem Wetter sitzt man im Grunde direkt am Hohenzollernplatz. Das Essen ist lecker und es gibt wie bei fast allen Indern günstige Mittagsangebote zu moderaten Preisen. Gerne wieder!

Meiner Meinung nach das beste indische Restaurant in München. Viele vegetarische und vegane Optionen.

Mittagsmenü , sehr lecker, frisch, der haustee kardamin, Ingwer, Zimt toll, preiswert

decent lunchtime Indian. nothing to write home about. a solid okay.

Der Service war gefühlt etwas überfordert mit dem Service und wir mussten teilweise sehr lange auf Getränke warten. Das Essen war solide und preislich auch im Rahmen. Leider wurde erst später am Abend die Klimaanlage eingeschaltet, so war es anfangs sehr drückend und heiß

Tolles Lokal sehr freundliche Bedienung

I ordered take away, the food quality was normal nothing special as like a restaurant food tests like. Asked for extra chilly sauce as I like my food very spicy but not the curry was spicy neither they provided any extra chilly sauce.

Sehr gutes indisches Restaurant. Nettes Ambiente und nette Bedienung. Sehr große Auswahl an vegetarische und vegane Spezialitäten. Wir hatten einmal Palak Paneer und einmal Lamm Mango bestellt. Das Palak Paneer war sehr gut aber das Lamm Mango war sehr mild und hatte wenig indische Gewürze aber weil wir das Lamm Mango zum ersten mal bestellt hatten, haben wir keinen Vergleich und können nicht beurteilen ob das authentisch war oder nicht. Aber im im Großen und Ganzen waren wir sehr zufrieden und werden wieder hingehen.

Direkt am Hohenzollernplatz gelegen, kann ich dieses indische Restaurant nur wärmstens empfehlen! Tolle, authentische Küche mit schönem Außenbereich.

Bester Inder in München, auch vegan richtig top. Liefert super schnell und frisch!

Als Fan der indischen Küche war das Essen ein Hochgenuss, sehr freundliches Personal und erstaunlich günstig... Wir kommen wieder ❣️

Essen ist okay Service ist sehr schlecht dauert immer sehr lange bis jemand kommt also Mann muss sehr lange warten, Essen ist okay aber jetzt keine Weltklasse ich geh sehr oft indisch essen es gibt deutlich bessere Restaurants aber war auch schon bei schlechteren.

Right outside the U Bahn is an advantage. The taste of the dishes were undoubtably good. However the time they took to serve our dishes was long. We were 6 people and 4 of them ordered the thali. 4 star only because they took more time to serve the food after we ordered. But would totally recommend!

Hands down the best Indian food I’ve had in Munich. My taste buds were beyond satisfied with absolutely delicious food. The service is also good. Highly recommend.

Unser Lieblings Inder in München 🤩

Nice restaurant, friendly staff members. Specially the delicious lamm dishes.

Locale accogliente, personale molto disponibile, gentile, attento. Abbiamo mangiato molto bene, sia piatti vegetariani che un piatto di carne. Tutto molto delicato, gradevolmente speziato. Il conto davvero onesto. Consigliatissimo

Comida muy rica, cerveza a buen precio y servicio perfecto. El pollo tandori y el curry de verduras que hemos probado nos ha encantado. Además, el roti integral también estupendo. Volveremos seguro!

We go there relatively often. Food is good and service attentive.

The best Indian restaurant in town. I have been to other Indian restaurants but this one stands out the most in my opinion. You can always ask them to make your food spicy (if you have the tolerance). They have a plethora of dishes to choose from including Vegan options. The staff is super friendly. We once ordered two dishes and by mistake one of them was super spicy. They took care of it immediately. Would definitely recommend it

Wir waren beim mittags, wir haben eine Suppe extra bestellt, sie hatte zu viel suppeprühe gehabt und automatisch sehr salzig, schade, ich dacht dass Indisches Essen braucht von solche Zutaten nicht, das Lokal sieht super aus, es war lecker.

Good quality but less quantity for the asking price.

The food was really tasty and still hot (Delivery order). Naan is a good quality. Unfortunatly, a bit longer lead time.

Close to U2 just outside the station. Friendly staff great ambience and great food.
