This is the best Indian Restaurant that we visited in Dresden. Very good variety of dishes, drinks, etc. The taste was very very very good. The service is very kind. We decided to reserve a table because it was Friday and we were there around 15 minutes before and anyway they let us use a table. My husband was very happy because finally, he found here a dish that he always asks for in every Indian Restaurant we visit and this time it was what he expected. The prices are also good. Very recommended! We will visit this restaurant again 100%.

First of all the service was best here compared to the rest Indian restaurants that I have visited in Germany so far.

The taste of the food is good and quantity is also good.
You get complimentary Papad (Indian snack made of lentils) served with two chutneys (Mint and Sweet) both chutneys taste amazing.

I have tried 4 lamb dishes here and all tasted like authentic Indian food.

Lamb Biryani
Lamb lababdar
Lamb curry
Lamb tikka Sizzler

I would personally recommend to try lamb Biryani here.

Biryani is served with Raita (Joghurt salad)

For Lamb curry and all you get an option of either eating it with naan or rice.
I would recommend naan with lamb dishes.

If you are familiar with Indian (North or west) spiciness then go with level 3 spiciness else level 2 will be good enough.

Also if you find the food less spicy let the service know and they will make it more spicy for you.

For those eating Halal meat, Lamb meat is Halal over here also you can ask the service which meat is Halal as I was told that chicken tandoori was Halal and all lamb dishes were Halal.

Overall best experience of Indian food in Dresden.

I am attaching some photos of the dishes for reference.

Service : 5/5
Food: 5/5
Seating arrangement: 5/5
Overall: 5/5

Completely satisfying meal here. Lamb and chicken was tender and the flavor was not watered down for German taste. Spices and heat level on point! Loved the friendly service, extremely fast kitchen, and lovely decor. This is some of the best Indian food I’ve had in all of Germany. Thanks for the lovely meal!

Very nice selection of vegan food. My dish was very good, tasted like lots of spices at once and ‘authentic’. Staff was very polite and helpful. Only thing I didn’t like was the smoke from the Tandoori dishes which people ordered. For a short time it was hard to breathe without coughing from the spicy smoke. My clothes smelled accordingly afterwards.. I guess that’s better in the summer when the windows are open.

We have been there about 5-6 times so far (as it is little too far from our home), but we consistently have had good food. The praise showered herein might make it seem like a paid review (while its not, sadly... ;) :( ), but it is only with the strong belief that good people need to get enough appreciation when it is due!

In the covid times, the ownership has changed apparently.... But I am glad that the food quality and taste is still as good as before, we tried the food under the new management for the very first time this weekend. My wife likes this restaurant the most in Dresden (we prefer non-spicy, non-oily, but at the same time non-Germanized, truly Indian tasty food, which can be challenging to get 'consistently'). Anyway, upon me asking for suggestion for a good Indo-chinese chicken dish which I have longed for too long to have in Germany, this new owner suggested Chili chicken sizzler from their Tandoor menu (the only one in the menu though, sadly.). It met my expectations fully. Just FYI, if interested, we ordered additionally Shahi Paneer, Gobi Machurian, Garlic Naan and Gulab Jamuns (little pricey imho for 3.5 Euros, but okay to go for once in while anyway, taste and quality was again quite excellent). Everything was quite fresh and tasty! Side-naans we got with every main dish were little too stiff and dry, but this might just be due to the snowy cold weather that the food had to go through post-packaging, and might not be chef's fault anyway. I think this to be the case, especially because the garlic naans packed in the aluminium foil were quite good, was not stiff or dry at all.

The new owner Pradeep Singh too is as friendly, as much as the previous manager Kripal Singh. I barely know either of them, and despite being busy, there was a good sense of hospitality, friendliness which made the waiting experience less boring as we went to pick up the order. All in all, 5 stars.... As always!

Ordered Kadhai paneer from this place on 16th March. The taste was bland. I am Indian and I know the dish was definitely not kadhai paneer or any other paneer dish which might been sent by mistake. I had ordered a lot of times from this place before and every time I admired the taste. But this time it was so bad that I don't think I am gonna ever order from this place.

Edit: the restaurant sent us the dish again and this time the taste was way better. So I am giving it normal stars.
