Mumbai Masala — Restaurant in Dresden

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...

I ordered take out from here as it was newly opened, and I'm always on the hunt for a good Indian restaurant in Dresden. The menu is oriented towards North and Middle Indian food (no south). We ordered Pav Bhaji, Chicken Seekh Kebab and Gobi Manchurian. I started with low expectations, but I must admit I was thoroughly surprised. The flavours were good (not entirely authentic, but really close), and they did take my request for making it spicy. Additionally, I always order a Naan to check the authenticity of their "tandoor". Unfortunately, they fell short here and that's why I could not give them a 5 star for the food. I'm not sure if it's because they have newly opened and weren't ready or if they don't have a tandoor oven yet. It was too thick to be called a naan and was severely under done, I could taste the yeast in the dough. I hope to go to their restaurant again and give them another chance. P.S. They are the only restaurant in Dresden to serve pav bhaji (as per my knowledge) that tastes good. I hope they work on their menu and also include food from other parts of...

Ordered for delivery, the food was tasteless, absolutely no salt in any of the dishes.

Butter chicken tasted of nothing, as did the tandoori chicken. If anyone knows, tandoori chicken is supposed to be dry and spiced, bell peppers and onions are okay to go with it but it’s not supposed to be wet and saucy, if I wanted to order a chicken curry then I would have ordered one. The only thing that was a little edible was the seekh kebab and the daal “suppe” The order was missing parts of items, the mint sauce, the condiments for the pav bhaji, and the naan was obviously stale and hard like crackers.

Please don’t believe the good reviews for this restaurant. The food is absolutely terrible, you can save your money and get better quality food anywhere else. If I could give it 0...
