Samrat Indian Restaurant - Hamburg

We asked if the waitor spoke English and he nervously said sorry no but I said nevermind we can work it out and went to sit outside. Nevertheless he continued to try and speak to us in English and was very pleasant and helpful. Service was quick and food was very good. We both had bahjis and lamb curries and the portions were substantial. The prices off the menu were very good for the quality of food.

Visited with family and had a good basic meal, well prepared. We have eaten in several indian restaurants in several countries and this is not a particular good one, but it serves several good traditional dishes. They were not spicy enough for our liking.

My hubby and I were both craving Indian food during our stay in Hamburg and found this great restaurant tucked in a quiet back street in St Pauli. Actually I should give credit to my hubby for discovering it . He has coeliac disease and hence loves Indian food for all its gluten free options. We had a really nice Indian meal with generous portions and also had complimentary pappadums and mango schnapps provided by the management kindly. We ordered the vegetable pakoras,green salad, bhuna chicken , chicken biryani, rice and a garlic naan and the portions were so generous that we had to get the leftover as takeaway for another meal . We also had some wine and I thought all the prices of the food and drinks were quite reasonable having been in Europe for a while and eating out at different restaurants. It was great to have the hot sauce and chutney served separately for anyone who may like their food hot . I do and loved it whereas my hubby could also enjoy his food without the added spice and heat. The food may taste a little modified to German/ European tastes but I loved it for that little variation and yes I am originally from India and cook a lot of Indian food at home . Sadly we will be leaving Hamburg soon but we will surely be fitting in another dinner there tomorrow night and hope this lovely little Indian gem is still there whenever we visit Hamburg again. Also a big thank you to the lovely German girl who served us tonite and made our visit to Samrat restaurant so special with her friendliness and helpful advise.
