authentikka Schanze in Hamburg

Simply a great restaurant! The food was great and the service impeccable. We were given very good advice when choosing meals and were often asked about our well-being. We felt like we were in good hands. We'll definitely be back.

Hello, prices seem surprisingly steep to me; Of course everything has become more expensive, but occasionally you get the feeling here and there that some people are filling their pockets in this situation... but all the best to those running it

One of the best Indian food restaurant in Hamburg. I have been regular visitors since last 4-5 years. You definitely need reservation in advance. Totally recommend the sunday brunch where you get to dosa, idly, etc. which are south Indian and is not available easily in Germany. The quality of food is also very yummy!

The food was delicious 🤤 but the only disappointing thing was got only 2 pieces pani puri in one order was not expected with that price 😂

This place never disappoints! The service is excellent, the food is consistently delicious, and the ambience is perfect. I often get Delivery, and the food always arrives hot and the delivery partner is always polite and professional, making the experience even better. Whenever I crave Indian food, this is my go-to spot because they truly maintain authentic Indian flavors. Highly recommended!

The best Indian in Hamburg. I have already tried many in Hamburg because I love Indian food. Nothing beats authenticity!

Super delicious food, all the employees and the boss were super nice, helpful and hospitable!

A visit to this restaurant is part of every one of our visits to Hamburg. The food is always excellent, the service is quick, very friendly and personal - you always feel welcome! Unreservedly recommended! Sigrid and Andreas

The food was generally okay, but the chicken dish had no breast meat, and the lamb dish had the meat still on the bone and required a lot of work to eat. Also, the waitresses who brought the food to the table created a hectic and uncomfortable atmosphere. Accordingly, the prices are a bit prohibitive. Thank you anyway!

I'm really happy to have found Authentikka Schanze. The menu has a wide variety of traditional Indian dishes, and everything I've tried has been delicious. The Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, and Dal Makhani are all standout dishes, and the 'dish of the month' specials are always a nice surprise. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the service is always top-notch. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, with a nice touch of Indian decor. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the generous portion sizes. I've become a regular at Authentikka, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for good Indian food in Hamburg.

Everything was great!! Best pakaura I've ever eaten!

The quality and taste of food served was decently ok and the price is reasonable. I like the fact that they did not adapt the recipe a lot to maintain the authenticity, which is commendable.

Just WOW!!! From the online reservation to the payment, everything was perfect! Great ambience, courteous, polite service, the food is a dream! We say THANK YOU for this great experience and will definitely come back!!!

When we were taken to our seat, we were asked for our order two minutes later. That was a bit too hectic. Unfortunately the food was a disappointment. Both the starter and the main course had a basic taste of old, rancid fat, which was masked by the spiciness and which remained unpleasant for me the whole evening. The operator wandered from front to back and back again and back and forth and back again the whole time with his arms folded behind his back, watching his friendly staff like an old patriarch. It doesn't seem like a good working atmosphere to me. After less than two hours we were asked to pay.

Authentic restaurant with super delicious food! Best lentil dal (dal makni) in Hamburg with a great price-performance ratio. Garlic Nan is also highly recommended. Always happy to come back.

The food was really tasty and also very filling. The service was extremely friendly and also responded to our special requests

Today I visited the restaurant and had an extremely unsatisfactory experience with the service. Although the food was generally good, I found the space to be very cramped. The tables were so close together that it was almost impossible to move between them. The hectic atmosphere did not contribute to a pleasant dining experience. PARTICULARLY disturbing was an incident in which an employee accidentally sprayed cleaning agent into my eye while clearing the neighboring table. Instead of apologizing, she simply repeated that it was "just water." I found her behavior extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. An apology would have been appropriate here. After the discussion, she finally said “sorry” and just walked away. Luckily it was water but what would happen if it had been chemical detergent. When we reported the incident to a man who appeared to be the manager while paying, he dismissed the matter as insignificant and told us that he would be firing the employee in question, a student and part-time worker, tomorrow as a result of this incident. This statement seemed like an attempt to calm the matter. Given his facial expressions and tone of voice, it seemed more like he was trying to make us feel sorry for the employee. Even though I'm actually the one who needs to be excused. This is NOT in any way the solution we envisioned. We believe that firing a young employee who may have made a mistake is not the appropriate response. Above all, this information is irrelevant to us. We just wanted to receive an apology. If you value a pleasant atmosphere and good service, I would not recommend this restaurant. I will never visit here again. Thanks.

I love Indian cuisine and in my opinion this is the best Indian food in Hamburg! 🫶

That was great! I'd love to come back

We wanted to spend a nice evening with you yesterday with delicious food - and we more than succeeded! As soon as we arrived we were greeted warmly and in a good mood. The food was, as always, excellent. What particularly excited us, however, was that in addition to the food, we were almost able to experience our own entertainment program. Your manager Markus and our waitress Marine complemented our group perfectly. With their infectiously good mood and nice conversations, they accompanied us wonderfully throughout the evening. A huge compliment for that – and see you soon!

I was here for a company dinner. It went with a couple of orders, but only a little. Basically, it can be enjoyed and gives you an experience.

Charming ambiance, but the food was disappointing. The lamb shank curry was undercooked, and the sauce was overly salty.

Super delicious food and really nice staff!!

Very open, friendly and courteous staff and the food was ready quickly and delicious. Only recommended!

Authentic Indian food. Highly recommended.

Great shop, super delicious food and lovely people - definitely try it!

The food was super tasty and is absolutely recommended. Definitely worth it and you should try it when you are in HH. We were there with a larger group and I found it a bit annoying that you were called very often in advance to confirm the reservation (probably due to bad experience, which is a shame). I also found it a bit annoying that we reserved a table at 6 p.m. and the reservation only lasted until 8 p.m., which meant you couldn't eat/drink and enjoy the evening undisturbed and had to constantly look at the clock.

Everything perfect. Great service, very cozy and absolutely delicious food. This was definitely the best Indian food I have had in Germany so far. It had the right amount of spiciness and hit a lot of flavors. I can unreservedly recommend it here. It's not particularly cheap here, but the price-performance ratio is very good.

When we entered the restaurant, we were immediately greeted warmly and shown to our seats. When asked, the menu was explained, what was gluten-free, etc. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy, the colors were harmonious. We sat in the corner by the cushioned benches. Every now and then people asked if something was needed. Waiting time was at most 15-30 minutes. There were six of us and we were all very happy. We would love to come back 👍🏻 A bonus: they offer yoga and palatis while dining on certain days.

Very easy to reach, the service was very nice and attentive, always asking how it tasted. The food came super quickly, the cauliflower popcorn was by far the tastiest, and the tempura was also good. There is a solid vegan selection that is also well labeled. The main courses were ok, we expected more. It's extremely narrow there, you can hardly get out of the table

Beautiful, modern and very good Indian cuisine. We had almost everything on the menu as a group of 13 PAX. Shrimp curry, lamb and all the starters were super tasty. The desserts are also really worth a treat. Definitely worth a visit and don't forget to reserve, it's no secret that the store is good!

Always keeps up! We’ve been here three times, and it has never failed to impress. The service is excellent, the food is consistently delicious, and the ambience is perfect. Highly recommend for an authentic and enjoyable dining experience!

Great Indian food! Very authentic and delicious! Great innovative dishes.

Two weeks ago I was at Authen Tikka with my brother, and all I can say is that it is definitely one of the top 3 Indian restaurants I have visited. The atmosphere was modern and very pleasant, and we were impressed by the food - perfectly seasoned, neither too intense nor too European. The service was also excellent. I particularly liked that the boss personally took care of the guests' well-being. We also had a very pleasant conversation with him. The journey from Frankfurt was worth it! We will definitely come back on our next visit to Hamburg!

Great service, very friendly and helpful. Surprisingly good cocktails and the food was 🔝🔝🔝 We'll definitely be back 💯

Great service and delicious food

By far the best Indian restaurant in Hamburg.

sometimes a bit loud. Food very very good. We also had brunch on Sunday morning with, among other things, a hearty Indian breakfast. Samosa for example. In the evening the food is also very, very good. The service was also noticeably friendly. Somehow 6 stars would be more appropriate.

Mit Abstabd der beste Inder in Hamburg! Das Biryani ist ein Traum – perfekt gewürzt und unglaublich aromatisch. Das Garlic Naan war frisch, knusprig und einfach köstlich. Die authentischen Aromen und die Liebe zum Detail machen dieses Restaurant zu etwas ganz Besonderem. Ein absolutes Muss für Liebhaber der indischen Küche! Wir lieben es hier so sehr und kommen mindestens 1x die Woche!

A Bumble date here is a bad idea

Thank you very much for the unforgettable evening. We went to this restaurant based on a recommendation. We really went on a culinary journey to India. Everything was explained as requested and we were also surprised. The owner took a lot of time. This is no longer imaginable today. So a big thank you again. LG Rodrigues

My absolute favorite Indian. Delicious and unrivaled, the butter chicken, everything fresh, beautifully draped and beautiful details, like the really homemade chutneys. I was a customer from the first hour, which was made more difficult by the Corona period that set in immediately after the opening: Then we ordered and picked up. But this restaurant is simply unstoppable, as you can see! I really have a point of comparison with the best, hippest Indians in London. You have to like the ambience, I find it pleasantly simple and love the great wooden elements. In fact, it's often as loud as a pub. But the operators can't help it! Older people with hearing aids are better off sitting near the entrance opposite the counter or at the table next to the counter. Lunch is also great (photo). Just love it.

Recommended. Delicious, friendly service.

Relatively small restaurant, nice atmosphere. The food was really, really tasty and recommended. The service was absolutely top notch, very friendly and accommodating. This was definitely not our last visit.

Very tasty food, served on stylish Indian dishes. The service is friendly and quick. There are vegan dishes. The only negative points would be that it is a bit gloomy, the complicated opening times and that it looks quite dingy from the outside - but inside it is clean and tidy.

The dishes are okay, I would have liked a generally stronger seasoning. Presenting the naan in loaf pans may be practical because of the fat glaze, but visually it appears more functional. There are certainly more attractive solutions here. The restaurant itself is tubular and has rather narrow tables and seating. The first table at the entrance didn't seem inviting at all. The guest sitting there has the entrance scarf almost on his lap and in his food. The toilets were clean when we visited.

The best Indian restaurant I know! Very friendly & familiar service 😊❤️😊

Nice shop. Food tastes delicious. But I think the portions are too small. In any case, I wasn't full of my main course.

Meine Tochter hatte ihren ersten Tag zur probearbeit es wurde erwartet dass sie die Tisch Nummer schon auswendig kann. Drei Stunden ohne Pause von einer minderjährigen ohne Worte ein Glas Wasser !!!! Kein Feingefühl nie wieder!!!!!

The Butter Chicken is second to none. Super delicious!! The vegetable patties were also great. Clear recommendation 👌🏼🤌🏼👊🏼👍🏻

Four of us dined here on a Wednesday evening. Very clean, very modern (unlike the typical/classic Indian or Tamil restaurant). Very attentive and polite. Food was presented very nicely. Price performance top

Very delicious food, reasonable prices. And an absolutely courteous staff. Absolutely recommended

We had a lot of fun with the waiter and boss. Really likeable, funny and genuine. Dessert very tasty

Food: If you are familiar with Indian cuisine, you will notice that the food is average. The chicken curry was good, the basmati rice and the Birjana were rather dry. I've eaten the naan with garlic much better elsewhere; here it was rubbery and not crispy. Whether the bread was longer and just warmed up 🤷‍♀️. Service: the service at the table was nice and friendly. When we got there, we were immediately told we had 1 hour to vacate the table. Even our neighbors were told to pay and leave after dinner. So eat quickly and clear the table for the next ones. But actually you go out to eat to have a nice, entertaining evening and not to fill up quickly. For that reason alone I will no longer visit the restaurant. You can also cook and eat at home 🤷‍♀️ Ambiance: loud, crowded, narrow

Food and ambience was great! Service was a bit strenuous, all the guests around us (including us) were served the "cauliflower popcorn" - because it's supposed to be so good. I found it rather unspectacular and find it somehow absurd to talk this appetizer into everyone's mouth. I also think it's a shame that the available levels of spiciness for the curries are not stated on the menu. Had the butter chicken in spicy - for me it was the perfect spiciness for the restaurant, with butter naan which was also great. As a drink we had "Homemade iced tea" which tasted anything but "homemade" (very syrupy) and was anything but icy, but rather warm - that definitely needs to be improved, especially for the price. All in all, we will definitely come back again!

Great experience. A resturant which clones Indian cuisine in Hamburg for real. It's Indian spicy and tangy. Kudos to the team managing it.

Food was very tasty but for the price it wasn't worth it. Far too little in one serving. I definitely won't go there anymore

Great experience and yummy food. brunch on sunday

A very nice shop with fantastic food.

Delicious and great, courteous service. Absolutely wonderful!

Really good Indian food, worth a visit every time!

Reservation is recommended. Very nice owner and very attentive service. Food was at the table quickly and tasted like a poem. The desserts are a hit. Gladly again.

Chole bhature was very nice n tasty

Maden smagte glimrende og betjeningen var rigtig venlig. Det eneste kritikpunkt var at man i forhold til drikkepenge kun kunne vælge ingen drikkepenge ti 15 eller 20 % to retter til fire mennesker inklusiv drikkevarer kostede omkring 1250 kr.

Ate brunch with couple of our friends here for the first time and really loved the chole batoorey. We also ordered salted lassi, sweet lassi, dahi kachori, sabudana vada, masala dosa , kulfi and masala chai! Friendly staff and quick service. Visiting again soon ❤️

All thumbs up for this amazing place! Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in the town. Staff is really good and everything we had was simply delicious including the dessert. Most impressive part was, you can see the attention and care in the design of the menu. Will definitely come back, especially for the indian breakfast on sundays.

Ich war leider mit meinem Besuch im Authentikka gestern nicht zufrieden. Mein Essen war viel zu scharf, und obwohl ich darauf hingewiesen habe, dass ich nicht scharf essen kann wurde es nicht ernst genommen. Ich erwarte von einem Restaurant, dass es auf die Wünsche seiner Gäste eingeht, und in diesem Fall war das nicht der Fall. Zusätzlich wurden die Gerichte meiner Freunde vertauscht, das Personal schien mit der Situation überfordert zu sein. Es war enttäuschend, dass ich für das Gericht sogar bezahlen musste, das ich nicht mal gegessen hatte. Für besondere Anlässe (Geburtstag) kann ich dieses Restaurant definitiv nicht empfehlen!

One of the best Indians I know only suffers in Hamburg. The entire menu is recommended, with upbeat dishes. The only downside was that the crème brûlée wasn't crispy on top.

Good food and a cozy atmosphere, but the service is inattentive and unfriendly, a shame.

We visited it on vacations and it was a pity it was our last dinner in Hamburg, it was amazing!! The food is super tasty and the waiters are so so kind and helpful. Whenever we come back we'll be there again for sure!! Thank you!!

The food is high quality and delicious. Especially Tikka masala and cauliflower puffs. The environment is nice but not suitable for long sitting. Reservations are required for the weekend.

Authentic Indian food at fair prices. My highlight, besides the mixed pickles, was that the waiter caught a glass bottle that fell from the table. The applause afterwards was more than deserved!

We went to Authentikka for brunch on a Sunday. The atmosphere is very pleasant. The rooms are modern and the toilets were also clean. The service was very friendly and accommodating. Questions were answered in detail. The food itself was really delicious. All ingredients are fresh, even the "Pavs" are homemade. The spiciness was adjusted and we tried three different brunch dishes. These tasted really authentic and very tasty. We will definitely come back. The price-performance ratio is also right.

Delicious food, but few vegan dishes.

Most authentic Indian food restaurant in Hamburg. The price is reasonable and the quantity is quite plenty. Looking for Indian food? This is the best option.

Sehr schickes Hipster-Ambiente, aber die Küche war kein Aha-Erlebnis. Wir hatten als Gruppe eine große Auswahl an Speisen, wahrscheinlich einmal quer durch die Karte, aber nichts davon war „umwerfend“. Zudem war es auf der oberen Etage sehr laut, es war schwer sich zu unterhalten.

The food is great, the service really quick and attentive.

To start, I just had Pappadum and th Trio Pickles, as I would anywhere By far, the best Mango pickle I have had ANYWHERE in the world. The chef came out, as he was very flattered - rightly - a simple thing like a pickle !! Linked to some VERY upmarket hotels in London, so now I understand. Properly WOW Of course, the mains were of the same standard When it starts well, you know it’s good 😉

Both the starters and the main courses tasted excellent. The service was very attentive and friendly. Thanks for a nice evening!

I've been eating at AuthenTikka for some time now. The staff on site is very friendly! The food tastes very good, the meat comes from sustainable livestock farming! The ButterChicken and Tikka Chicken are personal favorites. Unfortunately, the restaurant changed the dishes and recipes a few months ago, which is not a bad thing in itself. In this case, however, the "zing" is sometimes missing or certain ingredients are saved, e.g. in the salads or the paneer. That's a real shame, so it definitely loses a star.

We were there at the request of our Indian customers and I was thrilled by the variety and taste. The service was nice and quick despite a busy store. The dishes are also offered in different levels of spiciness, so you can find something even if you can't tolerate Indian spicy.

Completely overpriced. Eating is like that

Woooooowww!!! Really great service, great advice on choosing and the food itself, simply delicious! 👌🏽 100% recommend!

Best Indian place we've been to so far. The food is sensational and the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating.

Very authentic Indian food. Super tasty. Absolute recommendation.

Stumbled upon it by chance. Excellent welcome, quick service and very good meal. And what's more, the setting is super beautiful.

Great authentic indian food. I felt hugged by the atmosphere and the kind staff.

The best Indian food I have ever eaten. Low prices compared to good quality products. I recommend it to everyone!

Lækker velsmagende butter chicken. Hyggeligt sted i flotte lokaler. Hurtig og venlig betjening. Anbefales og vi kommer gerne tilbage

Excellent, really authentic Indian food

Quick in, quick out. The food is really tasty, but everything happens in quick succession; you almost feel stressed by the fast service. 1 minute after ordering, the starter was on our table and shortly afterwards the main course. Unfortunately my food wasn't warm enough either. Everything gives the impression that as much as possible is being fobbed off in a short period of time. We liked the restaurant in Winterhude much better.

Poor service: you order nonvegetarian tiffin (lamb) for take-out, and they give you the lentils/vegetarian option. You discover the swap at home. This is now the third time it happened. Not happy.

We went to Authentikka Schanze to try the lunch menu based on the positive reviews. The food was good, the price was reasonable. However, the service could only be described as sufficient with a lot of goodwill. The waiter seemed like he had absolutely no professional experience and only understood what you ordered after several repetitions. Due to his lack of knowledge of German, he seemed very insecure and hurried to leave the table as quickly as possible, even though we were the only guests in the large restaurant along with two other individuals. The restaurant manager was much friendlier, but we found the payment process at the counter a bit "strange" because he told us the amount was €3 too high and only corrected it when we asked. We didn't receive a bill, a rogue who thinks evil of it.

I recently visited the Indian restaurant AuthenTikka and loved it. The food was authentic and reminded me of a trip to India. The butter chicken and biryani were particularly outstanding. The service was excellent, with a friendly and attentive team entirely from India, adding to the authentic atmosphere. Overall, I felt like I was on vacation and would recommend AuthenTikka to anyone who wants to enjoy real Indian cuisine.

We felt very comfortable there. The food was very tasty.

The Indian food here is really fantastic. We can especially recommend the two chicken dishes and the dosa after our visit. It should be reserved in advance. The ambience outside is a bit cramped as the tables are close together and there is a lot of traffic. Otherwise I can highly recommend it!

Food below average with small portions. Service very unfriendly. If you don't feel like entertaining guests halfway, you shouldn't open a restaurant.

Ein indisches Restaurant neuen Typus'. Es gibt keine ethnischen Elemente, serviert wird moderne indische Küche, die abwechslungsreich und schmackhaft ist. So gibt es auch ungewohnte Geschmackserlebnisse, die unsereins nicht der indischen Küche zuschreiben würde. Mich hat es überzeugt!

Great food (but be careful, even the mildest spiciness level makes you sweat), very nice service, delicious wine - highly recommended

Great, contemporary interior. Cauliflower starter was excellent. I could also order the paneer tikka masala every day. Our favorite Indian restaurant so far.
