Champor - Munich

If you're looking for something different, try this restaurant in Denning. You'll be treated to fantastic Malaysian cuisine and wonderfully friendly service. There's something to suit every palate, serving food from mild to extra hot. They occasionaly have theme evenings, and I've just enjoyed an night watching traditional Indian dancing. Highly recommended!

I loved it last night. Right near Arabellapark, Malaysian cuisine influenced by Indian, Thai, Indonesian, etc. food. Wikipedia on Malaysia can give you an idea. I don't know if I more enjoyed the lamb curry, the chicken vindaloo (Malaysian style, it's yellow!), the shrimps with incredibly crunchy green beans, or the beef dish. All dishes can be milder or hotter as you like. The beer is Unertl, a nice choice. For dessert, I don't know if I enjoyed the extremely light fried banana balls (I've had them end up greasy in too many places) or the tapioca flour coconut balls. The latter are an acquired taste -- if you like the Japanese gummy rice dessert balls (as I do), you'll like these. If not, stick to the banana. The service was so quick it was almost unsettling! Kiren, the owner, is thinking about offering cooking classes too, probably in winter. It only took me 45 minutes door-to-door to get there from the south side of town, and that's with Public Transportation. I'll be back.

Yeah, what Gen said. Definitely worth a visit if you're into asian food.

Been to Penang a few years ago and just loved the food. Being in Champor brought back many delicious memories. The Masala Prawns were excellent and the lamb curry with the bread was just mouth watering. Was like being back on a holiday! Very friendly service.

Apparently the owner is planning to run a malaysian cooking class some time later in the year. Should be interesting.

Been to Champor several times now, and haven't once been disappointed. They're having a sitar recital on the 23rd April, which should be good fun.

Been there for buffet lunch. Food is good and very worth the price. Good location for having a business talk.

A nice, cozy place with a homey atmosphere - suitable for private and business luncheons/dinners alike. Very friendly staff - if you get a chance be sure to chit-chat a bit with the owner and/or the cook - both are Malaysian and speak fluent English. Apparently Champor is the first Malaysian restaurant in Munich. Some dishes will sound familiar to you from other Asian restaurants (esp. Chinese or Indian) and they are, but usually with a nice twist to it (and no sodium glutamate!). The menu has something for everyone: beef, pork, lamb, chicken, fish/seafood and some vegetarian dishes as well. But be sure to leave some room in your stomach for dessert;-) Prices are reasonable, parking is usually no problem and there's a bus stop in front (bus #187+188). Take a look at www.champor.de for further information (incl. menu) and upcoming events.

A must visit for Asian food fans. The food was excellent! The Sweet Chilli Prawns with coriander,lemon grass and fresh chilli was my fav. Will go back to try out the rest of the menu!

went again last night and loved it again. Must-have: resam soup. Don't combine the lamb curry and #51 though, 51 is subtle and gets overpowered by the highly seasoned lamb. MMM good. The SZ wa there last night too, look for a review soon.

Took part in the Cook & Dine promotion. Absolutely lot of fun!!! We cooked 3 different items, Chinese, Indian and Thai influenced dishes. It was all prepared and all we had to do is listen to the Cook's instructions. Wish it was the same at home... It was fast, fun and we learnt to use the wok correctly:)) A fun evening with friends and something for the album.

Went there last night and it was full house. Despite that, the service was still excellent and attentive. The food was excellent and different. The Cook does not "Germanize" the food here. Authentic Malaysian all the way - and "scharf" means "scharf".

Four of us were there for an evening business meal a couple of weeks ago. The food was fine but the waitress drove us nuts. Every five minutes she was coming over to us asking us if everything was fine, could she get us anything else, what did we think of the food etc. Which is nice. But not after the 3rd time of asking. We tried to make it clear we were discussing business and would ask her if we needed anything else but it didn't work. I half expected her to pull up a seat and join us at one point. I won't be going back in a hurry.

10 of us went there last week for a business dinner too. The service was absolutely great. The personal were very attentive. We felt very pleased with the full attention that we received. My clients (diverse nationalities),were very impressed with the food and the attention. I suppose different people, react differently to attention. I will definitely highly recommend this place to all business people and to those who appreciate warm hospitality.

Being a regular and a Champor fan, I totally agree with Susa. There are only 2 people serving -the owner herself and another lady. Knowing the people and the place well, an interrruption of "every 5 minutes" is an exaggeration on the part of Angie. Champor is really a place for those who are used to good service and hospitality.

The combination of the lamb curry and the bread called roti canai is a must try .... heard that most Malaysians eat this for breakfast.

Amazing food! Best malaysian food I have ever had outside of Malaysia. We will definitely make more trips to restaurant.

Finally made a trip to Champor about a week and a half ago!!! My verdict : Oh my god it was SHIOK!!!! I had the sambal ikan bilis and sambal prawns and it came out exactly as I had imagined! I love the fact that they don´t stinge on QUALITY! Oh and the service was excellent too!!! Kiren sure knows her stuff and her chef should take a whole lot of credit for making the food so authentic!!! A return trip to the restaurant is definitely in the making!

Really enjoyed most of our meal last night. Went with 4 people, and tried a variety of foods. Everyone agreed that the zanderfish dish was the winner...really tasty and different. The lamb I had was quite good, though not as good as I had been expecting from the reviews(few too many fatty pieces)the bread they recommend to go with it is first rate. The ginger Chicken and prawns were also good. Really enjoyed the springrolls to start. Thought the banana balls were too sweet and heavy. The only real dissapointment was the rice noodles with vegatables. It was heavy and starchy and rather bland tasting. Price is about 14 to 15 per dish, but the dishes are clearly fresh and above average. Certainly will go back again. Dinner for 4 with starters, drinks, meals and dessert was 180.

Being a Malaysian, my husband and I decided to dine at Champor 2 days ago - as I really missed the food! Pleasant surprise -the food was excellent! And they were many things on the card- that were done home-style. Loved the Sambal Prawns and Ikan Bilis - was a little tooooo hot for my husband though! Thumbs up to the team!

SUPER FOOD AND SERVICE ! You really feel looked after the moment you enter the restaurant. The dishes we had were excellent and when it says it is hot then it is. If you are looking for Asian food that a little bit different is then look no further. Will definitely be going back.

Mmmmmmm...... simply SUMPTUOUS. Just initiated a diner's club with a group of my (German/Bavarian) squash club members/friends. Remit: to explore the varied tastes of Munich gastromomy in good company, with good food (hopefully), good drink and good conversation. Our first 'event' was at CHAMPOR and what a superb way to kick things off. The food was fabulous, the decor and ambience understated but warming and the management were very welcoming (a precious commodity thus far in Munich I've found). They even poured me another Dunkles Weissbier (free of charge) when the first wasn't poured correctly. I recommended the place to a few work colleagues/other friends and all reported similar experiences. We (Diner's Club) all ordered different dishes and tasted each others. The results were exceptional without exception. Every single one was mouth-wateringly (and some also eye-wateringly) delicious... To quote an age-old English adage... at least it didn't burn on the way AND on the way out.... often the case back home (and here in Munich) with your typical Indian tandoori restaurant phal/vindaloo. TOP MARKS for the restaurant and long may they continue to thrive and produce delightful and delicious gourmet experiences... Will doubtless be a frequent visitor.

This has to be now my fave restaurant in Munich...I can´t believe to have finally located a restaurant that serves such authentic "Malaysian" food and spicy as well.hhmmmm yum!! The service was fabulous..very warm and friendly!! Highly recommend it to anyone who is dying to dive into some delicious authentic cuisine!

Best restaurant in Munich. Service and food very authentic Malay, and hot as you can handle!

Went there on Monday night with clients from the UK. The service was good, perhaps overly done as it became a bit annoying to tell the procession of staff that we had already placed various orders. The food was good, the milder dishes providing the better flavour though. The two hotter ones we ordered (one beef, one chicken) were lacking on the flavour side with the extremely hot one of the two leaving only pain in my mouth and not much taste!! I'd say the "two thumbs up" and the "best in Munich" are a little exaggerated (perhaps something to do with them advertising on this site?), but worth a try if you fancy something different.

Yes, phillyboy, we remember you and your guests:) We thank you for the compliment of service. That is including the warning that the staff gave you.When we mean the dishes you have ordered are hot and spicy - it means hot and spicy (as also written on the menu) - and we did come by twice to ensure if it was ok with all of you. Our card is not Europeanized. It is authentic as it gets.

Was in Malaysia a couple of years - and the food in Champor is really authentic. Spiced to the best. The lamb curry and the chicken pap..(no 66) was the best I ever had in a long time. Worth a visit for Asian food fans.

I had my best meal at Champor since I arrived in Munich 8 months ago. The staffs and the boss are very friendly and speak very good English. The food is excellent, the price is reasonable and the ambience is fantastic! Nothing else I could ask for. I will certainly go back to Champor ago. BRAVO! ho jiak!(good to eat in Hokkien)

Here`s another great review for Champor! It was my birthday and (due to new baby) we decided to have dinner at home rather venture out. My husband talked to Kiren and between them they organised a take home feast! The food was fabulous, obviously beautifully prepared from scratch, and really took me back to my time living in Singapore. Can`t recommend Champor highly enough!

I went there on their 3rd birthday, they had a set 6 course menu for 45€. So me and both my friends decided to go for the special menu. I have to say out of visiting nearly 50 places over last four months in München This has to be one of the best. The food was all fresh and cooked wile we waited. So if you want a quick meal not the best loaction but if you want ur mouth to water after eating then this is the place for you.

Were there last night with friends. Amongst four people we had 3 appetizers. Soft shell crabs were amazing. Ordered four dishes and wiped them clean. Fish, Shrimps, Chicken and Lamb - all cooked to just perfection that gives you the flavor of the meat and leaves a mesmerizing taste of spices on the tongue. Couldn't stop but, was no space to fill anymore :) Been to Malaysia and relished food there, must state that the food at Champor is definitely able to remind me of the food I had in KL, etc. Located in quiet, isolated location but, service and food are worth the visit. Very friendly and patient service. Soft spoken members, in spite of sitting after closing hours, offering a drink/coffee for-the-road :)

I had such a wonderful evening at Champor and the food was simply excellent. Especially the black tiger prawns were very tasty. I like the spices and the warm hospitality. I´ll be definately back.

We had a fantastic meal at Champor. Soft shell crab and satay appetizers were delicious. We each had a prawn main course. The black pepper prawns weren't hot but full of flavor. The spicier dish was truly sehr scharf(believe the menu!) as hoped for! There is a great atmosphere here. Kiren is so friendly, she really made us feel welcome. A great experience!

Visited the restaurant last night and had a lovely meal. Soft shell crab for starters which was superb. Shared a chicken curry and black pepper tiger prawns for the main meal. We were recommended to order a special bread/naan to go with the curry. We agreed but I thought the waitress was simply trying to sell us something we didn't need. However when we started to eat the curry we found that the bread did go extremely well (far better than rice). We had to order some more bread to finish the curry off... Overall it was great and I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
