Shami Kitchen — Restaurant in Munich

Good things about this place: very good location beautiful interior design the food is superb. We ordered salmon tartare, crispy duck fried rice and beef noodle soup. Everything tastes amazing. In fact, it was the best fried rice I‘ve ever tasted in Germany (and I‘m from Indonesia, so I eat A LOT of authentic fried rice, but this one tops it all)

However, there are some downsides as well: The price is definitely on the higher side. 16€ for fried rice is quite a lot. The salmon tartare costs 14€ which is OK but the portion is a bit small. This could maybe be justified by the taste of the food which is definitely better than most asian restaurants I know but it‘s still a bit pricy. We talked to three of the staffs; two of them were super friendly but one of them was kind of rude. We were taken to a table, we asked nicely if we could get another table and he just pointed to the other side of the room without saying anything to us.

If you‘re looking for asian food with better-than-average-taste this is the place to be. But prepare to pay...

I don’t understand the ratings, it was one of the worst restaurant experiences I had in years: they forgot drinks order and only served after 30 minutes after asking again what we ordered 45 minutes wait for starters (the dumplings were lame, the satay chicken good) over 1h waiting for main dish; when mentioned to waiter, he started to argue and justify without apology, which was patronising and rude the quality of food was nothing more than ok with many ingredients tasting pre-processed rather than freshly made (e.g. sweet potato frites) overcharged on the bill (which we pointed out and was corrected) as if all the above isn’t enough, the waitress had the audacity to ask if we don’t add tip when paying music was...

Dishonest and unfair

We were a group of 5 people which were surprised by the superior quality of this restaurant but this magic broke as the bill arrived. We explicitily asked the waitress - together with wine - for FREE tap water. She replied:"for tap water we only have sparking one" and we accepted. TAP water is by law for free in Germany. Well, at the end we paid 2.5 euro each for a plain glass of water. This is absolutely obscene, as we previously asked for something that is actually for free.

When asking for an explanation, the waiter never responded in English, expecially when we pointed out that - in addition to this 17.5€ we paid extra, they calculated some food twice.

NEVER AGAIN. THEY are...
