SANGEET – Maxvorstadt – indisch

+ + + Advertisement + + +

Dan Sangeet on Briennerstrasse is a very good Indian restaurant, not far from Odeonsplatz (accessible via subway lines 3, 4, 5 and 6) in Munich's city center. Rather unassuming and inconspicuous from the outside, Sangeet impresses all the more inside with its cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, great food and well-rounded concept.

The menu offers a good mix of Indian dishes and leaves nothing to be desired. I've been to Sangeet three times now and have been satisfied each time. Twice I ordered an appetizer before my main course: once Paneer Pakoras – homemade cheese coated in chickpea flour and deep-fried for €4.90, and once vegetarian Samosa – two pastries filled with vegetables, potatoes, and spices – also for €4.90.

Sangeet is open daily from 11:30 am to midnight. It also offers a business lunch Monday through Friday from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm with a variety of dishes. Lunch dishes, on average for 9 euros. There is also a happy hour menu including a drink, starter (soup of the day), main course (choice of your choice) and a mango cream for dessert (additional 1.50€) for 9 euros on weekdays from 2:30 to 4:30 pm.

I usually opt for a vegetarian thali (highly recommended at Sangeet!), palak paneer (Indian cheese with spiced spinach), or malai kofta (cheese balls with cashews and raisins, cooked in cashew sauce – absolutely delicious!). Basically, every dish can be ordered very mild. I don't eat spicy food at all, and I don't enjoy my food if it's too hot. At Sangeet, however, they are very accommodating, and the food really does arrive mild if you ask. The thali is also excellent and very refined. (With fresh naan bread and your choice of saffron rice, it's a truly outstanding treat!)

With 35 tables, Sangeet offers ample space for spontaneous visits. We've never made a reservation and have always been seated immediately. The friendly waiters attend to you right away (not always the case!), handing you the extensive menus (though the print is a bit small and fiddly) and remaining unobtrusive throughout your meal (also not always the case!).

The food arrives relatively quickly and all at once after ordering. Indian food isn't generally the cheapest, but €43 is reasonable for two main courses, naan bread, and two drinks. On another visit, we paid €35 for two simple main courses and drinks. Card payments are accepted at Sangeet.

So if you're looking for an Indian restaurant in the heart of Munich with delicious Indian cuisine in a cozy, typical Indian atmosphere, Sangeet at Odeonsplatz is definitely the place for you. Give it a try – I recommend the vegetarian thali with saffron rice and naan bread. 🙂

I'll be back: Yes, if I want to enjoy authentic Indian food.
