Curry night - every Wednesday evening in Munich

let me add me name to the list of no shows this week going to Rome

but i can suggest Taj Mahal or ganga but since there has been no curry at the Sitar for long maybe there too what say OG?

Yeah, Taj Mahal was nice to sit outside when we were there last - so any more votes for that one then (from people who are actually coming )?

They also seemed to have lots of room inside in case it rains on Wednesday (I can't remember how bit the umbrellas were).

I'm not 100% for Wednesday... but I would prefer somewhere we either haven't been to yet/for awhile.

Well Sitar always has nice curries but I don't think it has an outside section (does it?). Even if it doesn't I still wouldn't mind going there since it's been a while.

there is street-side seating at the Sitar and it is always very pleasant because there is very little traffic there. I always enjoy sitting outside at the Sitar and the food is also very good.

OG, think they could fit everyone in a row? Been awhile since I was last there.

Sitting outside at Sitar could be a problem if more than about 25 people turn up, but with the number of peeps who can't make it this week (including me again) you should be okay. As long as no one else wants to sit outside, that is...

I would love to sit outside, but taking the weather forecast into account plus what there is to see out from the window today, won't that be just a dream?..

I guess the weather is gonna be all amazonic this week.. still glad that we could sit on a beergarten on sunday anyway..

As far as the place is concerned Sitar fits me. As this is gonna be my 1st CurryNight, whatever you say is fine..

OK it seems like Sitar is agreed, so I selected that restaurant on the sign-up page with a 7:30pm start time.

Please remember to sign up (see link in first post) if you are coming so that we can reserve for the correct number of people. Cheers.

Ok, can someone please post directions of how to get to the restaurant from the U-bahn station? Street names etc would be great!

Thanks!

Seems I might not make it at 19:30 tonight.. I will pick my girlfriend up from the station at 19:00 and will come after that...

I plan to be there by 20:00 the latest.. Please do reserve 2 seats for us
See you all there..

See here for directions...

It's right next to the U-Bahn station but I always seem to come out of the wrong U-Bahn exit and wander around trying to find the place .

Cheers! Took me half an hour to find the TB last night... I even stopped off at an Internet cafe to look at a map... Seems I just came out of the U-bahn on the wrong side of the right street, and so missed the street name I was looking for...

I guess the Sitar is on Wagmüllerstr.? That will hopefully be signed from the U-bahn...

@Borra

Don't worry about not being there at 1930. We didn't get our food until 2100 last week. (Not that i've been to the Sitar to be able to compare... )

Address is...
Robert-Koch-Straße 4
You shouldn't get lost but if you do just call the restaurant on 089 21 11 23 61.

@ Ski

Cheers! I'll try and get there for 1930, so hopefully can bump into a TTer that I recognise on the way...

@hmspresident: I didn't get a chance to really chat with you last week, but I think I remember who you are, so I will keep an eye out for you if I see you on my way there.

@inka: no, I don't think we did get the chance to chat last week, but apparently I am a look-a-like of TT Member Lookalikes guy...

Anyone up for an early drink at the Sitar?

How early do you suggest?

I know only of one original North Indian restaurant in Munich - the incredible Maharaja: http://www.maharajamunich.com (the food is better than the website).

For example:

- The colour of the mintsauce of Taj Mahal is greener than a Waldmeister Drink. Whilst in Maharaja they cooks make the mintsauce themselves.

- Did you ever think about why you get your food so quick at Taj Mahal? In Maharaja the chicken is well marinated for at least 1 day and all dishes are prepared fresh at the time of your order.

If you have not tried Maharaja yet none of you have had a proper Indian feast!

An addicted Maharaja Costumer

we did maharaja back in february
it was kebab meister's birthday, and he was a little bit disappointed cos his vindaloo had no potato in it
but i quite like maharaja, the staff are very friendly

I had the same experience, as such I always request potato to be included in vindaloo as of course it should be. Side dishes like Bombay Aloo can also be requested although its not on the menu, and if anything isn't done right Jagtar welcomes critisism and will personally take the opportunity to reprehend the cooks and redo your dish to perfection.

As early as you like?! 6:30? 6:45? 7:00? I'll try and get there around 6:30...ish

It's starting to rain down in Taufkirchen, what's it like in the city? Are we sitting in or outdoors tonight? Will outdoors sit all of us in a row?

Ok, will try and get there for around 6:45... Which, judging by my recent performance, means i'll be there about 7:15!

Anyone else going early? If not I may hold off 10, 20 minutes or so!

BTW Ski, you doing the reservations?

Yeah I'll book it tonight

Table is booked under the name of Toytown, and I said we would like to sit outside if it is not raining.

See you all there!

*scratches head in concerned bafflement*
No digestion, disection or even discussion of the event this week? Everyone's stomachs still getting over it?
Hope you all survived...

I think people had other thinks on their mind yesterday.

It was a good night, with a quite a few newbies. Liked the Sitar but next time will ask for them to make my Jalfrazi a bit hotter.

Ski took us on another of his guided walks of Munich ("its sort of over that way"). A few of us ended up in Ned Kellys where even hmspresident looked old compared to most of the other customers

Ah yes okay. I've been rather out of the loop for the couple of weeks and didn't find out about yesterday morning's events for ages, so I didn't associate.

It was quite a nice curry but a little salty for my liking.

Hopefully this week it will be possible to sit outside somewhere again if the weather is nice.

Yes, a good mystery walk is always good especially when the person doing the leading doesn't know exactly where he's going

I actually had something different this week, the first non-Vindaloo of the year! I had Tandoori Chicken Masala! No way as good as 'Tandoori' but it was still very tasty. I don' know what they added to the curry but I had a rather nasty after taste later at night. I did miss the hotness though... I guess I should have had another Vindaloo!

Ok, 2 weeks after KebabMeister said he'd back me up, I suggest the Sangam for Wednesday. I went there on Friday lunch time, had my ususal Paneer Tikka Masalla, and it went from its usual 4 star to 4.5 star, when I told the owner at ordering that I wanted to bring Toytown there.

He also said they would do proper onion bhajis. The back area is nicest. Theycan fit up to 80 people outback. We will have problems blowing that limit. There's also a window running the entire length of the back room which gives a nicy airy, semi tropical feel. Its the same management as Sangeet, but I've never been to Sangeet.

The address is Franz-Josef-Str. 28. Closest U Bahn is Giselastr on the U3/U6.

Aye aye, I'm up for that!

Very nice place (Sangman, that is). Went there for lunch a few weeks ago and also had a work gathering there once. Count me in.

The food at Sangam is top-notch. Much better than its counterpart Sangeet. I am up for this one!

Hang on... its on the reservation form as Noor Jehan...

And I have booked on that, along with others...

@Grinner

That's the place we went to two weeks ago. No idea who set it to that.

However, if people want to go to Sangam then they can use the Alternative Curry Night booking page if they don't fancy Noor Jahan again.

boy..boy...this is getting complicated!

I changed the booking page to Sangam. Don't use the alternative curry page.

Having the power to change the restaurant, and the time is great ... if I was the dictator and only I could do it. But it seems anybody with 5 currys under their belt can set that.

Maybe Grinner and I can have a curry war, with the choice oscillating between Sangam & Noor Jahan until everyone has a fierce hankering for Italian.

Sangam sounds good for me on Wednesday!

Anywhere would be good for me this week Need curry badly.

Yay, an Aussie curry

I can't make this week now, something has come up. Enjoy!

Just found out that there's free beer after work tomorrow so the chances of me making it to an Indian restaurant in a coherent state are pretty minimal

Am tempted to attend this (despite having a curry on Monday night and going to the curry only tomorrow in Landsberg) but I would be tempted to cycle there and I don't know if you lot could handle that level of fear...

sangam is a nice place, actually - i had lunch there the other week, ery tasty it was, too
not too far on your bike, katrina
don't forget to signal, though

Katrina: please expand. By that I don't mean inflate your body to gross proportions by the excessive intake of curry, but explain what you mean to someone who is not yet properly awake and trying to understand who it is that would be afraid and why...

I fancy another curry this evening, but the usual question applies... How do I get there?

And don't worry, I won't suggest we go wandering through Munich to a bar afterwards, even if that particular did make me look older last week...

Info for Jeeves
Got my bike out of the repair shop yesterday, lovely service, new gears (so billybob, I now can choose other gears apart from 3rd!), cleaned the chain, tightened the new seat on and it was lovely cycling in this morning.
Except for other road users as I had a skirt on - I'd advise the use of sunglasses in the Neuhausen area as the risk of being blinded by the glare of pasty legs is quite high.
