  • 1/5 Raghavendra P. 5 years ago on Google • 126 reviews
    Very bad taste and very bad quality. Gobi Manchurian is a Indo Chineese dry starter item, but it the delivered item is just gobi curry. Its absolute nonsense. Garlic Naan are just horrible. Food is full of oil and looks like cooked with frozen vegetables. Raitha is one of the simplest one, just a mixer of chopped onion, Green Chilli and plain Joghurt, even it is also of very bad quality. Food was also delivered very late, they took 1 hr 40 mins to deliver the food. Only thing which was relatively good was they made it as Indian spice as requested. Considering the quality and taste it is very expensive. It really spoiled our evening. Sorry, I can't recommend this as Indian food. Attached picture is the Gobi Manchurian, I do not know in which part of India it is called so..

    I had written a very nice review for this place few months back, but unfortunately I had to delete it. Yesterday, we ordered Panner tikka masala and dal fry from this place. And what a disaster it was. Dal was just boiled and mixed with random spices with no tadka (tempering) on it. And the PANEER. I had specifically confirmed if they make paneer tikka and the lady said yes. What they gave was plain paneer cubes mixed in tomato sauce. Utterly horrible. Why wasn’t paneer grilled in tandoor. Why misguide people and sell something that is not authentic. You could have called it paneer curry masala something. Why tikka? And the arrogant lady at the counter. Her behaviour is so unwelcoming and seems absolutely disinterested in treating the customers properly. I will never order from here again. That panner tikka. SO PERFECTLY GRILLED 😡

    Having lived in Germany for few years now and after trying out many Indian restaurants, I can definitely say that this is one of the very bests. I tried the chicken korma and was pleasantly surprised. The taste was definitely as authentic as you would expect in India, which is quite a rare experience here. But the unique thing which sets it apart from most other Indian restaurants in Germany is that the gravy and the ingredients mixed perfectly together and didn't taste as if chicken pieces were dipped in some colored liquid! Their efforts to cook authentic food from scratch shows in the taste. I would order again and recommend others too.

    (Translated by Google) We ordered the food, it should be 50 minutes delivery time. We live very close. After 1.5 hours we got the food. The rice was cold, the food lukewarm and unfortunately not tasty :( We will not order there anymore. (Original) Wir haben das Essen bestellt, 50 Minuten Lieferzeit sollte es sein. Wir wohnen ganz in der Nähe. Nach 1.5 Stunden haben wir das Essen gekriegt. Der Reis war kalt, das Essen lauwarm und leider nicht lecker :( Wir werden dort nicht mehr bestellen.

    Indian food from here is as authentic as it can get. I have lived in germany for few years now and I have been searching for places where you get good indian food. I found few in Frankfurt and Berlin, and few others in Amsterdam and London. I could go on and say that Sumalaya's is one of the best places to get the authentic taste of spices in Germany. Kudos to the team. I am really glad that this is here in Darmstadt. :)

    I ordered multiple times already, because it's soo delicious. Even bigger orders for a birthday party arenare problem and come in professional catering containers. You can really taste for example in the Khadai Chicken dish that the incrediances are fresh and that the spice mix is self-made from originally india-imported spices - as Shubham the cook once assured me. The delivery time of 40-120min is a bit long, but again I do not expect something so delicious to be prepared quickly and accept the longer waiting time for my food and plan-in the longer waiting time when I order from them. I really hope the Corona time did not harm you guys too much and wish you great success for years to come.

    (Translated by Google) Ordered for pickup, everything ready on time. Spice up the dishes a bit unusual for someone who has always eaten Indian only in Europe and has no idea what authentic means. But if it means that it tastes like there - great! Sympathetic team! (Original) Zur Abholung bestellt, alles rechtzeitig fertig. Würzung der Gerichte etwas ungewöhnlich für jemanden, der immer nur in Europa indisch gegessen hat und keine Ahnung hat, was authentisch bedeutet. Wenn es aber bedeutet, das es so schmeckt wie dort - prima! Sympathisches Team!

    (Translated by Google) Outstandingly delicious! Be sure to try it yourself - you can taste the fresh spices. Pleasant sharpness, simply excellent dishes and therefore highly recommendable - the trip to Eberstadt worthwhile. (Original) Herausragend lecker! Unbedingt selbst probieren - man schmeckt die frischen Gewürze förmlich heraus. Angenehme Schärfe, einfach hervorragende Gerichte und daher nur wärmstens zu empfehlen - der Abstecher nach Eberstadt lohnt sich.

    (Translated by Google) The seating is extremely pleasant and I find the distance between the tables extremely reasonable. There you get no trace of the feeling of dining out like sardines in a can. Cheap, diverse selection of dishes and drinks. With my ABF, I was really delighted to finally have found a restaurant in our area, which we can afford at the end of the month without any restrictions. This restaurant really has the potential to become my new favorite restaurant. Really faster and nice service. I think all the staff there did a good job. (Original) Die Sitzgelegenheiten sind ungemein angenehm und den Abstand zwischen den Tischen finde ich überaus vertretbar. Dort bekommt man keine Spur das Gefühl, wie Sardinen in der Dose Abend zu dinieren.Günstige, verschiedenartige Auslese an Gerichten und Getränken. Ich habe mich mit meiner ABF wahrlich überaus darüber gefreut, zu guter Letzt ein Lokal in unserer Umgebung aufgespürt zu haben, was wir uns ohne Einschränkung auch bis dato am Monatsende leisten können.Dieses Restaurant hat wahrlich Potential mein neues Lieblingslokal zu werden.Wirklich schneller und netter Dienst. Ich finde, dass das ganze Personal dort einen guten Job gemacht hat.

  • 5/5 Ian P. 5 years ago on Google
    Wow! Kohinoor (Indian Jewel in The British Queen’s Crown) Joint best Indian Food I have tasted outside of the UK, shared with Simla in Sittard NL. (If you know Indian Food, you know that the UK has the biggest selection of Indian/Pakistani/Kashmiri/Punjabi/Bengali cuisine outside of their native lands). Previous eaten in Canada, France, Netherlands and Germany. I ordered Chicken Jhalfrezi which I was kindly reminded that this is a spicy dish, I explained that I am from Great Britain and that I would prefer ‘Normal Spicy’ not ‘German Spicy’ and was advised ‘say no more, leave it to me’. It was served perfectly with extra green chillis in the gravy so I could choose the full heat or leave some out, the green chillis also got eaten. If you are in the Area and fancy Indian, this little Kiosk is the place to visit.

    Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Garnlic Naan...Naan was excellent and the best that I have tasted in the region. Quanitiy of Tikka Masala is more comparing to other restaurents. Overall taste is 4.5 / 5, quantity 5/5 and service is 5/5. They can improve a lot in terms of options and come precise menu with what they can serve on that particular day.

  • 5/5 Sardar Asad K. 3 years ago on Google
    Genuine South Asian food. Doesnt matter what item you choose from the menu. Its incredibly genuine considering the fact that a lot of South Asian food outlets seemingly lose some of that uniqueness when they make the jump between continents. Very consistent quality too, from the dishes to the mango lassi. I would recommend this place like no other, as its the only desi food outlet here in Darmstadt which exceeded my expectations.

    The food was aweful! Dal was not cooked properly, the curry was no way near Shahi Paneer. The Naans were cold but after reheating tasted ok. I would never order again!

  • 5/5 Johannes 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We have ordered here often. Always delicious! This time we ordered two weeks in advance for a birthday party with about 20 people. The food was brought to the minute on time, bottled in large stainless steel vessels. All guests were thrilled. (Original) Wir haben hier schon öfter bestellt. Immer sehr lecker! Diesmal hatten wir zwei Wochen im voraus für eine Geburtstagsfeier mit ca. 20 Personen bestellt. Das Essen wurde auf die Minute pünktlich gebracht, abgefüllt in großen Edelstahlgefäßen.

    (Translated by Google) Delicious and authentic food, keep it up! Only the very small outdoor area and the plastic cutlery, if you eat there, could be improved, but it is because it is more of a take-away. Prices absolutely ok, if it stays so delicious. Keep it up! (Original) Sehr leckeres und authentisches Essen, weiter so! Lediglich der sehr kleine Außenbereich und das Plastikbesteck, wenn man dort isst, könnten verbessert werden, liegt aber daran, dass es eher ein take-away ist. Preise absolut ok, wenn es so lecker bleibt. Weiter so!

    (Translated by Google) The food is good and is prepared quickly. However, the tandoor oven was always off when I came and I have often ordered there. It would be nice if the plastic containers could be dispensed with in the future. (Original) Das Essen ist gut und wird schnell zubereitet. Allerdings ist immer der Tandoor-Ofen aus gewesen, als ich kam und ich habe desöfteren dort bestellt. Es wäre schön, wenn zukünftig auf die Plastikbehälter verzichtet werden könnte.

    Tasty, authentic food. Spiced on request. Relatively fast, considering the quality. No alcohol for sale. Can eat on site, but it’s basic wooden crates for table & chairs. Very friendly staff. Speak excellent English. Tandoori & masala dishes highly recommended

  • 4/5 Elina A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The curry is quite good. The price / performance ratio is ok. Which is a pity: you have to choose between rice or naan bread. If you want both, you have to pay an extra charge. The tandoor oven was always out of order during my visits. The curry is unfortunately transported in plastic trays. (Original) Das Curry ist ganz gut. Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist ok. Was etwas schade ist: man muss sich zwischen Reis oder Naanbrot entscheiden. Wenn man beides möchte, muss man einen Aufpreis bezahlen. Der Tandoor-Ofen war bei meinen Besuchen immer außer Betrieb. Das Curry wird leider in Plastikschalen transportiert.

    (Translated by Google) Great Indian food! Any time! Yesterday I ordered the first time at Sumalya's Kitchen and was more than satisfied. The food was great, was great seasoned and wude, as promised, delivered after one hour. Shortly after my order was received on the website, they called me and asked if I still wanted the ordered portions of rice, although in the main courses each rice would be included. Since I had misunderstood that in my order, I canceled the rice without problems and of course did not have to pay! Very nice and attentive service! Every euro worth, since the food here, in comparison to other Indian restaurants in Darmstadt, really very well and elaborately seasoned and prepared! :-) (Original) Tolles indisches Essen! Jederzeit wieder! Gestern habe ich das erste Mal bei Sumalya's Kitchen bestellt und war mehr als zufrieden. Das Essen hat klasse geschmeckt, war toll gewürzt und wude, wie versprochen, nach einer Stunde geliefert. Kurz nachdem meine Bestellung auf der Webseite eingegangen war, rufte man mich an und fragte, ob ich die bestellten Reis-Portionen trotzdem haben wolle, obwohl bei den Hauptgerichten jeweils schon Reis inkludiert wäre. Da ich das bei meiner Bestellung wohl missverstanden hatte, habe ich den Reis ohne Probleme wieder abbestellt und natürlich nicht bezahlen müssen! Sehr netter und aufmerksamer Service! Jeden Euro wert, da das Essen hier, im Vergleich zu anderen indischen Restaurants in Darmstadt, wirklich sehr gut und aufwendig gewürzt und zubereitet ist! :-)

    (Translated by Google) The Tikka Masala and Butter Masala are absolutely God-fearing. I have eaten both dishes many times (elsewhere) and they have tasted me, but I did not find them very tasty. I have to say that the staff is very friendly and accommodating. (Original) Die Tikka Masala und Butter Masala sind absolut gottesfürchtig. Ich habe beide Gerichte schon oft gegessen (an anderen Orten) und sie haben mir geschmeckt, jedoch fand ich diese nun nicht sehr schmackhaft. Ich muss trotzdem sagen, dass das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend ist.

  • 2/5 MOHITH K. 4 years ago on Google
    I ordered food from this takeaway and tasted almost the main cuisines. These are my honest ratings with 1 being worst and 5 being best. Butter Paneer Masala: The base curry was too sweet with less paneer cubes for the price. I never felt the authentic taste. I would rate 2of5. Gobimanchuri: this was the worst of all, the gobi were not chopped to the right size, which becomes under fried. the masala coat on gobi was not firm Meaning the masala used for it was not meant for it. it separated from the gobi as i took it to eat. The quantity was extremely less for what they charge. But the taste was good not like the actual gobimanchuri but more of like fried vegetable with masala. I would rate 1.5 out of 5 (1.5 just because of taste) Rice: undercooked. This is the most basic thing people should not go wrong in this. 1/5 Paneer chilli masala: taste was good! I liked the blend of capsicum, paneer with green chilli. Kudos to that! 4/5. I would recommend people to try this. Paneer kadai: was better!!Never had i tasted this dish. 3/5. But need to improve. Overall the food experience did not meet my standards of tastebuds. I would not recommend this place to buy food on a regular basis.
