About The Mustard Seed - Hahndorf

The Mustard Seed sidesteps generic curry bases for scratch-cooked gravies on Hahndorf’s Main Street. Connoisseurs head here for plates built individually from the ground up—from a coconut-laced Malabar fish curry tailored with prawns to slow-simmered goat curry and rich dal makhani. Group outings settle into shared banquets or outdoor tables with house-brewed Mustard Seed Pale Ale, while the kitchen deftly accommodates halal, vegan, and strict allium-free requests. Dinner wraps up cleanly over pistachio kulfi and warm gulab jamun with ice cream.

  • Scratch-Cooked Distinct Curries: Dishes are scratch-cooked individually with distinct gravies rather than standard shared base sauces, readily allowing omissions like onion and garlic.
  • House-Branded Craft Beers: Taps pour venue-branded options like Mustard Seed's Own Pale Ale and House Lager specifically paired with spiced mains.
  • Generous Group Feasts: Spacious banquet options, a flower-lined cottage frontage, and shaded outdoor seating make group gatherings and family milestones easy.

    Went with a group of 16 on the Mother's Day. Luckily, the weather was superb and so could dine outdoors on the colourful autumn afternoon at Hahndorf.

  • Distinct Gravies & Inventive Regional Flavors

    Each curry is crafted with its own distinct gravy and fresh aromatic balance, steering clear of standard pre-made mother sauces.

    Unlike many Indian restaurants where curries often share a similar taste due to pre-made base sauces, Mustard Seed offered a delightful surprise. Each dish we tried had a distinct and unique flavor that left us thoroughly impressed.
