    Just go to this restaurant. If you want to eat the food that's cooked in India, this is the place. We took chicken palak and okra thali and samosa as starters. Oh god! I never ate samosa taste like how it should be before I came here. The food was tasty, filling and quick. This is how you would probably eat at food corners in India. Go badshah!

    This doesn't look like much but boy is the food good. True authentic north Indian cuisine. Even had a kingfisher with my meal. You get a large portion of food for a very good price; the thalis which includes rice, yoghurt, some lentil sauce and your curry of choice cost between 6 and 8 euros which is really good. They also have lots of deserts on sales each costing 0.8. We each got a couple different ones and tried them. Unfortunately I don't remember most names but I wasn't a fan of the milk cake. Worth noting the staff speak both English and German.

    I've now been here three times and can say I think the food is stupidly good for the price (~6€ per meal). I've ordered the palak paneer thali the last two times and would highly recommend this dish (spinach with cheese cubes). This is a pretty small place with authentic Indian food served on metal trays. You order at the counter, get a buzzer, then pickup your food, which is divided into entree, rice, yogurt, side salad, side chickpeas, and naan. Everything is really fresh tasting and delicious, besides the small salad which is really boring (but whatever, ignore it). I could easily recommend this place if you want some authentic Indian food.

    At first you may be overwhelmed by the fullness of the restaurant but it is extremely simple to order, just choose a dish and it will normally already come with extras like rice and naan. DELICIOUS!!

    This Indian restaurant defines exactly what needs to be important to stay in business in competitive Food industry. This is very well placed restaurant, just 5 mins walk away from Railway Station. It doesn't have any super decorative stuff or some light show on the outside, but still it's not very difficult to find. I shouldn't actually call it a restaurant, but it's more of self service Diner. No fancy decorations or extra comfortable seats to make you sit there for really long time, some light music, everything is surprising. But the best part is food. No Hocus Pokus or 20 pages Menu which makes consumer's life very easy. Food is really very good with prices worth to make student's life easy. I really liked the Lamb Curry there. It's highly recommended. The restaurant also has many varieties of Indian sweets for take away. The food is served in traditional Indian Plates called Thali which was a nostalgic experience - reminded me of Langar (practice common to few Indian religions of community eating). I feel happy to recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys and loves food (while ignoring the ambiance) ## The place if often really crowded, which is always the best sign. ##

    Great food with fantastic seating inside! Very crowded on the weekends so expect a wait. The food is served in trays and very affordable. About 6 euros per dish served with bread, rice, yogurt, Dahl, small salad, rice and the main dish. Lacks true authentic spice but very good still. Recommend tikka and the saag, and if you're a fan of spicy just ask!

    Chicken tikka thali

    Best Indian food I've had in Hamburg thus far. Went here on an impulse with coworkers for lunch. Little hole in the wall place with amazing food at incredibly low prices. We shared an appetizer of veggie samosas. Love the way it was plated with a variety of dips at all degrees of heat from none to more than some. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Thali, it contained a moderate hint of heat which was enjoyable. My dish came with chicken, rice, yoghurt, a mini salad, bean/legume side, and naan. It was hard to believe all this was just €5.50. After seeing my coworker's plate of Chili Chicken Thali, I think I will have to try that next time to test just how spicy it might be.

    Food was good, vegetarian and fairly-priced! It was a little hard to find a seat, but that is always a good sign :)

    I recently picked up something to go and it was really good. They managed to get the spice level…read moreright and I got some free Papadam and sauces which was nice. As this normally is a sit down kind of place the prices are higher then in a pick up place but the food quality also is. The main courses all come with rice. I will definitely come back once the pandemic is over to have a propper sit down meal as it looks, very nice and cozy.

    4.5/5: This was definitely the best Indian meal I've had in Hamburg, and I will certainly be back…read more To begin, the restaurant has a nice ambiance. It's not extremely fancy inside but has sufficiently nice decor. Before the meal, two large pieces of papad are served to the table with mint & yogurt chutney and what I believe to be injipuli, and souf/funnel seeds are served after the meal to clear your palette. For my main course, I ordered chicken saag "extra spicy" with a side of tandoori naan. The entree also came with rice. I was satisfied with the level of spice in the saag, and I thought the dish was overall very flavorful and would certainly recommend ordering this here. The portion isn't enormous but certainly isn't small, so I was happy with the size. I had never ordered non-paneer saag and was pleasantly surprised with how great the dish tasted. The rice was definitely the best tasting rice I've had in Hamburg. I also thought the naan had a great texture after being oven baked and thoroughly enjoyed eating this with spinach and rice.

    Pretty good Indian food restaurant. We tried the chicken tikka masala, paneer curry and garlic…read morenaan. The food came out fast and looked really nice. They put nice little vegetable decorations on top of all their dishes. Not sure if this is needed to be honest, as the focus for me is the taste, not the decorations on top. It was my first time here and we agreed that the curries were simply not flavorful enough and tasted like tomato paste. The Indian curry spices were just not really there. The garlic naan was the highlight however. Hot and buttery and crispy. It could have been a bit more fluffy though. All in all, a pretty good place for Indian food if that's what you're in the mood for. However the search continues for me for the best Indian food in hamburg.

    Non-food: 5/5 Food: 3/5…read more The decor and overall vibe of this restaurant is exquisite, the staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the menu has extensive vegetarian and meat options. After the meal, one is served mango schnapps and paan mukhwas. I ordered naan bread and spicy chicken tikka masala, which came with rice. My meal arrived very quickly, and the presentation of the food was very on-point (see attached photos), just like the ambiance. My waiter also brought a green chili sauce, which wasn't that spicy but tasted very good. I thought the tikka masala here wasn't bad but wasn't great and wouldn't order it again. I'd also recommend picking a different dish if you're between options. The naan was very tasty, and the rice was decent. I can recommend this restaurant for a group dinner due to the great ambiance and service quality. Despite not being super impressed with the taste of my entree, I left feeling very satisfied and want to come back to try a different dish.
