Indian Mango – München – Deutschland

Indian Mango Restaurant – Zweibrückenstraße 15, 80331, München

The first Blog entry on Curry-Heute  was for Indian Mango.  This is a restaurant established by Mr. Jolly Kunjappu, philosopher and musician, he appears playing percussion on – Sticky Fingers – by – The Rolling Stones.

The Fish Chettinad, Fish Masala, Lamb Madras and Lamb Chettinad were already the dishes rated by Hector, pre Curry-Heute, as outstanding, and far beyond what passes for Curry in Deutschland. The cafe style is associated with lower prices, the Lunchtime Menu in particular. Rice is included with main courses, this means value for money.   Indian Mango is located close to the Isartor S-Bahn station across from the Deutches Museum.

Herr Battra became a long time colleague and therefore features in many a Blog entry. On Jolly’s retiral from the restaurant, Herr Battra took over.  The Kunjappu family recipes were maintained.  Alas, in the aftermath of Koronawirus, Herr Battra departed, whilst the food is – close – to the original fayre, it has changed. Those were the days, and credit always goes to Steve for discovering Indian Mango whilst he spent a month in the city learning the language.

The kitchen is open plan, one can see the food prepared as one walks in the door.  Bier vom Fass is also available as if one went to München to drink Bier…

As for the Curry: there remains a distinctive house, or Desi taste; it is slightly on the sweet side of what is served in the UK.   The Chettinad Dishes are remote from the Shorva which usually features in this Curry,  try the Lamb or the Fish Chettinadu, the latter disappeared from the menu years ago but is available on request.

There is a tradition of the restaurant beng closed late December until mid January.

The restaurant is closed late December and over the New Year period.
