Satluj - Munich

Moderately good, but not the best. Nice outdoor lunchtime seating on sunny days.

This is the worst indian Restaurant I have visited so far in Munich. The rice served was horrible and is not fresh. Service is also very bad. The restaurant on the whole is not worth visiting. There is no reason why u have to go this restaurant when there are many other good restaurants in Munich. Be-Aware of this HORRIBLE Indian Restaurant. - Peter

to be fair aint the best. tries too hard. found the seats uncomfortable both inside and out. vindaloo passable but nowt special. forgetful service. at least you can go next door to voila's and wash it down with a edelstoff.

I went there for the first time last night, with a small group of friends. - I was a little apprehensive after reading the comments above. However, had a completely different experience. The service was prompt, everyone was happy with their food (my jalfrezi was excellent) and the bill was reasonable. What more could you want?

It's like I went to a completely different restaurant than the one described by the first three postings. Went there on Friday night, service was great, food was very good, atmosphere quite nice. My friend and I had a great time.

Avoid this place if you want any food even mildly resembling a curry. I went there a few weeks ago and the food was really diabolical.

I went there and was not impressed and have no desire to go back there. But it was certainly not the worse curry I have had in Munich.

I think the restaurant is not bad at all. They do good curries and as the waiter pointed out if you want authentic indian food you have to ask for it when ordering. They do cater for the German market hence it can be a little mild and tasteless. I order a fish curry and said that I wanted it real indian style and that's what I got.

The portion of the curry was not enough for my German collogue.

I had to throw a sickie to get out of going to a company do at this place. They wouldn't know a decent onion bhaji if one hit them between the eyeballs. I would rather eat at the golden arches than here.

I have been visiting the restaurant regularly for years: very good food, nice atmosphere, friendly service. Perfect and absolutely recommendable.

I have also been there several times over the years. The food is not fantastic, but the atmosphere is quite nice, the service good and friendlich much nicer than at the Wienerplz.! : ! (can't remember the name of that one at the moment)

My wife and I enjoy Indian food, though we're certainly no experts. We went to this restaurant regularly when we lived near there and always enjoyed it.

We have been there on Friday night and almost got no table as most places had been reserved. Around 8:00 pm it was already packed. The food was good and it is hard to imagine what the older posts are based on. The restaurant definitely must have been improved. It is a nice place and the waiters are friendly.

Sounds terrible! I'll just look in and see if there is anyone interesting looking. If not I'll move on. For me it's the people that go to a restaurant that are the most important.

Seeing the previous comments I figured Satluj had changed cooks and gotten their act together and so I was willing to risk it based on the reviews and Curry Night consensus. To their credit, they offered papadams with passable sauces (no chutney) and even provided general purpose table naans along with the rice which they initially plated. And this is about all the good I have to say about the place. The food was passable but not spicy despite repeating "we're not German", "English hot", "Indian hot" and "Make it the way you would eat it." I was one of the last to order and wanted a keema naan and a lamb gosht. "Lamb nilgiri," the waiter said. "No," said I, "Gosht, the one /below/ nilgiri." The "keema naan" would be more properly called a (Turkish) lamacun, effectively vegetarian and so bland it needed the papadam sauces still on the table. It was bad enough that they didn't use some sort of system to note which dish went to which person or even table region, their insistence on using item numbers when bringing out the mains ("Who has a number 37?") caused no small amount of confusion. Wrong items were delivered to people and then swapped around. Across the table from me, the girl who'd ordered some sort of grilled lamb was presented with a bowl of lamb nilgiri and told that was her order. After she'd tried some they came out with her correct dish and then told me this was mine... the bowl she'd already tucked in to. I refused, told them it was an already-eaten nilgiri and that I wanted my gosht. According to their own menu, the nilgiri is made with spinach and cardamom; the gosht lists okra and tomato among its ingredients. Off went the dish, and magically a new pot arrived inside 40 seconds. You can cook fast in a commercial kitchen but not that fast. There was no okra, there was no tomato, there was nothing but a RECYCLED pot of lamb nilgiri topped off with a bit of extra sauce. IT IS DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL TO REUSE FOOD! It is a major health hazard. Once food leaves the kitchen, it's gone. Whatever comes back must, by law, be dumped, with the exception of a re-firing (e.g., steak not cooked well enough). While curry night allows us to try out a lot of restaurants and find the good ones, ultimately it's about the company you're in. With that in mind I shut up and ate my very bland nilgiri. It may have come back from another guest but that particular guest shared another dish with me so at least I'd already decided to risk a few of her germs. Everything was bland; what was presented as a vindaloo was basically a masala. Then came the check. They wanted €25 and change. Off to the counter for another look at the menu. They wouldn't bring me a gosht but they were certainly happy to charge the extra €2 for it. And the naan magically went up in price. I calculated €21.10 for the naan, nilgiri and two beers; the waiter kept insisting on €23. Finally the manager gave up and said €20. The quality of the place isn't up to the standards of even the cheap curry houses but the prices are a good 30-40% higher. Incompetent staff, poor kitchen which clearly cooks for a German palette, REUSE OF FOOD WHICH HAS BEEN SERVED TO OTHERS, intentional billing fraud ... the company I was in was nice but it's company I'll miss should people be stupid enough to pick this place again.
