Topic: German restaurants

[tempest63]

Mrs T63 and I are cruising down the Rhine and then onto Budapest over Christmas and the new year. The boat we are on offers great food (looking at the reviews), but whenever we are away we look at trying a local Indian restaurant.
Whilst I am no longer a regular to the UK BIR scene I have to admit they stand head and shoulders above restaurants I have tried overseas, the most notable disappointments being Paris about 12 years ago and Russia between 95 and 97.

Has anyone experience of German curry houses? Would it be worthwhile eschewing a good meal on the boat to sample German curry offerings?

Great site, thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyed reading his reviews on places I already know like Tayyabs and Lahore kebab house.

Compared to your British curry houses, many German Indian restaurants don't stand a chance. There are exceptions, though.

Expect better restaurants in the bigger cities. "Curry houses" in small towns are not really Indian when they serve "curries, pasta, pizza, steak, sauerkraut and crepes".

Your voyage down the Rhine will most likely not let you step out in the Munich area, but if you happen to come across the Munich airport in the city Freising, there is my favorite curry house in Germany: New Indian Palace, http://www.indianpalacefreising.de

It's the one that inspired me to cook my own since I'm no longer in that region ;-)

Good luck and have a nice trip!

Thank you m0rq. We fly to Nuremberg today and our journey down the Rhine starts tomorrow. We are very much looking forward to seeing Germany and, personally, I am hoping to become acquainted with an authentic Schweinshaxe.

You definitely should while in Bavaria, the food there is authentic and of high quality - if you can stomach it :-)

Schweinshaxe, Spanferkel in Dunkelbiersauce (roasted pork in dark beer sauce), Kn
