Natraj - Nymphenburgerstr. 26, 80335 Munich, Germany

Nymphenburgerstr. 26, Munich Neuhausen

The Natraj is not one of Munich's best Indian restaurants. But food is perfectly acceptable and some customers have been happy eating there.

Incidently, useless piece of historical trivia: the premises occupied by Natraj were once an Irish pub called the Fiddler's Green.

The lamb tikka masala and dal makhani were exceptionally good. Great service though my coat stank of the restaurant for the next three days. Will definitely visit this one again.

I strongly recommend the Natraj which is across the road from cinema on nymphenburgstr about 5 mins walk direction rotkreuzplatz. Its a fairly new place and they make the curries as you want them. I have knowledge as I'm indian and usually pissed off with the standard of curry houses. When I was last there I used the "hey brother" line and got popadams and the various sauces as we do back home, you know onions etc.. and told him I didn't want the stuff he was giving to the white folks - worked a treat.

I love Indian food, but this was far and away my worst Indian experience anywhere, and I've been to alot of Indian restaurants. This restaurant has the perfect location (across from English Cinema), and is always full, so they've stopped trying. The potatoes in the Vindaloo were rock hard and cold, and I counted only two small pieces of chicken. We waited 1.5 hours before our food came, and they forgot some of what we ordered. We weren't the only customers who had issues, either - at the next table, one of the diners took the waiter aside and almost got into a fist fight with him.... TWO THUMBS DOWN.

After Goa, my favourite curry house in Munich. Its a small cosy restaurant and the owners are just nice friendly people. The food is very good and, if you reach Stam gast status, they tend to whip up fab desserts etc for free. Each dish can be ordered mild to hotter than you can handle. Mr anonymous is talking out of his ...

Like Mr. regular, I've only ever had good service and food there. They know that a lot of the time you want to get to the cinema afterwards, and provided you let them know, they will make an effort to accommodate your schedule. I'm particularly fond of the Malay Chicken. They're quite good at the sizzling dishes. I've been going there since not long after it opened and will continue going when visiting the cinema.

I am Indian and I can say that I will NEVER eat here again. My husband, brother and I paid the price dearly the following morning....samosas were frozen and the food was AWFUL. Beware because you have been warned!

Was in Natraj last week with a group of 10. It took 1.5 hours from the time we ordered until the time the food came. The server and owner were exceptionally nice, and the food (when it finally came) was good, but still. An hour and a half?! The Indian guy that was with us says he goes all the time in small groups, and it's quick. So my advice, try it out in a small group, but AVOID Natraj if you're a large group or are pressed for time!

Fantastic food served spicy if requested. I don't know a better Indian in Munich. The onion bahjis are not just battered onion rings and the Lamb boti kebab is really tasty. We have never had any problems with the service which has always been very friendly. I would definately suggest trying this place out.

The food here is amazing! We had the veggie thali for two and it was more then enough. Must say the jalfrazi here does suck but then again it's not something us indians eat at home. Yes it took a little longer, but they told us when ordering it would. Worth the wait. A little more pricey then the other indian places and the portions are slightly smaller (which does me just fine) Will be going there again.

Great food would recommend this place. We had free poppadoms and chutneys, followed by home made onion bhajis, veggie thali for two and two drinks, followed by free dessert. Service was prompt and friendly. Cost 37.50euro. Would go there again before visiting the cinema. Website: www.natrajmuenchen.de

If you want to experience and enjoy real, authentic Indian cuisine you should definitely give the “Natraj� in Munich a try. The attentive and polite service and the truly tasteful food contribute to make the visit to an experience. Let yourself get introduced to the Indian cuisine with all its various flavours and its delicious different spices. The restaurant's executive chef, the unintrusive Mr Naresh Pulkar, has the gift of picking just the right dishes for you if you are undecided. Everybody who has only little time for lunch but who does not want to do without a good meal should check out the well-priced luchtime specials. Moreover, everybody who wants to learn more about India, has to have a talk with Mr Pulkar about culture, religion and politics of his country. During all our visits at the Natraj, we were never dissapointed, but content and invigorated.

we recently went there for a quick meal before a movie and were very pleased. Service was friendly, fast and attentive, the food was excellent and in sufficient quantity and they gave us a free desert that was quite tasty. This was our second visit and we had enjoyed it the first time too. The prices seemed decent. Definitely recommend.

I strongly recommend Natraj as one of the best Indian Restaurants in town.The Service is very personal, very friendly.The food is just great-fresh ingredients with a very original taste of India. My favourite dish changes from Butter Chicken to Chicken Tikka to Mutton Jhalfrezi to any Vindaloo - so basically I love any dish there.

We hit the place with the TT Curry Night. First, our group was too big for the Restaurant (~20 people). Very slow service, also for the supply of beer while we waited. I had asked for extra spicy and it wasn't - to be fair this happens, but I didn't have the patience this time to wait for hot sauce.
