Kashmir - Munich

Great place with very friendly service. I went last night with 4 friends and all our curries were excellent, if a little too mild. As mentioned in the review above, the naan breads are amazing. Perhaps the best I've had outside of the UK. Pricewise, they're a little more expensive overall than the other curry houses in Munich. The prices of the main dishes are around the same, but the breads and drinks are more expensive. Speaking of drinks: the beer is, in my opinion, the only negative aspect of this restaurant. They serve it (Memminger helles) in 0,4 measures at the price of a 0,5. They do, however, also serve Kingfisher indian beer (bottled).

The restaurant seemed quite large inside, with very nice decor, and very quiet (one couple sitting in the entire restaurant when we arrived, and only two or three other groups turned up while we were there - on a Friday night). The service was pretty good (friendly service, but they kept us waiting a bit at the end when we wanted to pay) and the nan bread is probably the best I've had in Munich (most nan breads seem to be either oily or dry, but these ones were very soft without being greasy - truely superb). For the main dish itself I had chicken vindaloo (no surprise there). The sauce was a strange (for vindaloo) dark-brown colour, quite tasty but disappointingly mild, while the meat itself was tender but very fatty (I had to leave part of it). AquaticMeringuette had the Chicken Tikki though, and her chicken was gorgeous, so perhaps I just got unlucky with my dish. Other than that I agree with Kif Kroker's points - the beers were 0.4 served at 0.5 prices, the food itself a little more expensive than most curry houses (but not enough that you'd really notice unless you drink a lot). I'd certainly recommend it, and will most likely go back again, although the Sitar is still my favourite.

Re. the meat: I think they were using chicken thigh, rather than breast. This may be why the meat was a bit fattier than normal.

Lovely interior and very friendly service. They only recently added the big signs on the wall outside - previously it was difficult to see that there was a restaurant there.

The main dish (Chicken Madras, my standard for a first time) was very mild and a little runny, whilst the chicken itself was underdone. And by the time my nan arrived it was cold too. Nans are in my experience supposed to arrive with the meal, not as a dessert. The rice was nice and light; a shame I don't eat it... The service was friendly enough if a little eccentric, not to say confused at times. All this should be seen in the light of the fact that there were 16 of us clamouring for food and drink at once. However it IS expensive and therefore value for money was LOW.

Visited again, this time with a much larger group (15, compared to the 5 the previous time). I once again went for the chicken vindaloo, and this time it wasn't fatty - but it was still fairly mild, despite me specifically asking for it to be very hot. The real problem was that they just seem unable to handle large groups (despite the fact that we'd booked, and that the rest of the restaurant was almost empty). We arrived at 9pm, they took our order at 9:30pm, and the food turned up at 10:30pm...well, most of it. By the time the nan breads turned up most of us had already finished our meals (I deliberately ate slowly and managed to have around a third of my food left to go with the nan, but the meat was cold by that point). So in summary, I'd say that for small groups it's still definitely worth a visit, but for large groups I'd go somewhere else.

I went there last night after using the comments on this web site to narrow down my search to the three best restaurants in that area. I ordered the chicked vindaloo after asking explicitly if the meat were cooked with the spices (since I have been to three Indian restaurants in Munich where it clearly was not). The waiter said it was so then I asked for the vindaloo to be "English hot". The waiter indicated that that was possible. When it came, this chicken vindaloo could have been mistaken for an Irish stew in consistency, colour and spice-hotness. I reminded the waiter that I had asked for the curry to be "English hot" so he took it away and when it came back in about a minute it was hotter only in temperature. Needless to say, I refused to eat it and I was not charged for it. I have had all the worst curries in my life in Munich. I am not sure whether this miserable excuse for a vindaloo was worse than what I had in the Sitar (see comments), but it will remain a blight in my memory right up until the moment I die.

I joined Roland for this meal. The papadams and sauces were good. The Nans were very good. The onion bhajis were among the tastiest I've sampled... so I thought, wrongly, that we would be served a tasty meal. I had the lamb rogan josh - which was mild - and although it was not bad - I was disappointed as I have had much better meals, even from a supermarket. Suffice to say I won't go back. Beer was ok, but I still needed an Augustiner afterwards to get rid of the taste from my mouth. Not good.....

this place sucks, says the forum. Do a search on it for the full run-down. Or are there two places called Kashmir?

No good asking Indian restaurants in Germany to do your dish english hot... they don't understand as some of them have never experience an indian curry in England!!!! If you want to have somting authentic simply ask for as they would eat it.... it might work!!!

Been to this restaurant last week longing for -home sweet home- food. --- Good (as good as in Bangalore): papadams, Bhajis and vegetarian dishes OK: Naan Not good: Chicken Tikka masala. --- Having been to Indian restaurants in London, Paris etc, I can say none of the Indian restaurants are anywhere close to "as it is" in India. If you decide to ask for "as they would eat it", be prepared. One of my friend (from Cambridge) couldn't stop crying for hours. (Needless to say, it was made as I would eat it in Bangalore)

I think this place has closed. When I walked past the other day their sign wasn't there any more.
