authentikka Schanze in Hamburg

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.

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!

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

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!!!!!

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

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

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.

Really good Indian food, worth a visit every time!

Delicious and great, courteous service. Absolutely wonderful!

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.

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.

Chole bhature was very nice n tasty

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.

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 ❤️

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.

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

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

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.

I absoloutely loved everything here

Best indian food in all of Hamburg! I'm definitely a regular customer and i love to come here with friends, amazing food which is well spiced, i'm surprised with how good the flavours are each time i visit, no matter how many times i go. The waiters and owner are so kind and friendly too! I hope you will try this restaurant🩷

tatsächlich kann man/frau hier einen schönen Abend verbringen, der Service ist super nett, die Speisen lecker, Preis für Essen passabel, für Getränke der übliche Standart: alles etwas überteuert. Warum dann nur "befriedigend"? Bei der Abrechnung habe ich mich überfahren gefühlt: bei Zahlung mit Karte kannst du auswählen "Kein Service", "10%","15%" oder "20%". Damit es nicht geizig wirkt, tippe ich auf "15%". Erst später denke ich: der Service ist doch im Preis bereits inbegriffen? (ich bin gewohnt den Endbetrag großzügig aufzurunden, das sind dann so zwischen 5% und 10%). Aber durch diese neue Art der zusätzlichen Trinkgeldzahlung, die ich in dieser Art als Forderung und nicht als freiwillig empfinde, finde ich mich unangenehm berührt. keine gute Erinnerung an den Abend. Und: natürlich kein weiterer Besuch in diesem Lokal. Hamburg hat gute Alternativen.

Friendly staff, food was good. They mistakenly placed the wrong order in my takeaway, so removing one star.

I'm not usually one for writing reviews, but after visiting Authentikka 4 times and having a fantastic, warm, and pleasurable experience each and every time, I think a positive review is warranted. Not only am I myself 'begeistert' by the food and service of the place, but it is also much appreciated by my out of town, well traveled visitors who are also taken aback by the place and the people who work there. The welcoming service and the delicious authentic food are more than enough for memorable evening in Hamburg schanze/Eimsbüttel. You don't get that level of friendliness and attentiveness in many restaurants in Germany. Authentikka is an absolute jem in my book!!

If you arrive without booking then after a small discussion they'll offer a seat but neither food nor services or either one is in upto the mark 👎

One of those restaurants in Hamburg where you can find good desi (local) taste. We had ordered chicken tikka with curry, garlic naan, mango lassi, and chicken tandoori. Although we ordered chicken tandoori because they said these are the kababs, but those were actually 3 chicken tandoori pieces but good in taste. Mango lassi was too good and the overall experience and the atmosphere was good. The prices were bit expensive though as compared to other restaurants. One side dish which is a solid recommendation (thank me later) was couliflower popcorn (was also recommended by a friend). Those couliflower popcorn were superb! Bhala papdi was also good.

Delicious and authentic Indian food. Good and quick service, they modified our dishes for people who did not eat spicy food without a problem, the naan was delicious, the homemade sodas were very delicious. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed with dim lighting and photos on the walls

The best Indian food I've had since I came to Hamburg 3 years ago. Just spectacular food and service. Especially recommend their Chai Martinis and gol-gappa shots.

I had the lunch special here for lunch, fish curry. Super tasty and easy to digest. The mango lassi was also excellent. Everything was very clean, service was courteous & friendly. I'll be back. We sat outside in summer temperatures.

We were really looking forward to the evening. The entire ambience is really nice and very pleasant, especially because of the somewhat simpler furnishings. The service was friendly and professional. Unfortunately, the food didn't pick us up and not everything was perfect. Cauliflower popcorn and samosas were delicious though.

We always go here and love the food. I’ve probably tried everything on the menu.. Dalk makhani is by far my favourite and samosa chat too. Their pav bhaji is also quite delicious!! Had their brunch experience also, as a South Indian, I expected more authenticity on the dosa but it’s definitely worth trying!!! Their cocktails have an Indian twist. Overall one of my favourite places to go!!!

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY TO EVERYONE THERE IS NO BETTER INDIAN FOOD IN HAMBURG AS AUTHEN TIKKA - WE WENT FOR A BRUNCH TODAY AND THE PANI PURI SHOTS ;PURI ALLOO -NIMBU PANI AWESOME -SERVED WITH SO MUCH LOVE AND COMPASSION : THE QWNERS ARE SO AUTHENTIC TAKING CARE OF THERE GUESTS ; JUST LIKE OUR CULTURE AND THE NEPAL WAITER IS SO KIND - EVERYTIME WE GO WE FEEL LIKE BEING EMBRACED WITH A WONDERFUL VIBE - LOVE IT - AWESOME TRULY MY FAVORITE -NICE ENERGY - THANK YOU SO MUCH -

What a great place for Indian food. The host welcomes you with a big smile and the place itself is really classy and minimal. The food is a perfect blend of spices with the right balance to sooth one's taste buds. Highly Recommended!!

Very tasty Indian food, top service. We sat outside. The annoying thing was the busy street...but that's not the restaurant's fault, but rather all the stupid drivers who mistreat our inner cities with their metal.

“Incredibly delicious” best Indian food I have had. Stylishly decorated restaurant, great service and top value for money.

Undoubtedly the best Indian Restaurant in Hamburg.

My friends and I were there for brunch. We had different dishes that we shared. It was all delicious! The Samosa Chaat seriously gave a friend goosebumps because it appealed to all taste buds and left us speechless (sounds exaggerated, but it's not) 😂 The service and atmosphere were also great. We'll be back :)

Very tasty food, unfortunately a bit inflexible in terms of spiciness. Because the restaurant is stretched out for a long time, every conversation is amplified and from 6:30 p.m. it was really loud. The service is incredibly fast and attentive. We were a little worried about the “only” two hours per reservation, but thanks to the very fast service we had no problem during the meal and were able to enjoy every dish. The restaurant itself is very modern and simple. Here too, decoration may have helped with the sound, but it is visually very appealing as it is.

I was in Hamburg for two days and here twice. Incredibly delicious and surprising notes. Will come back and try the rest. Tip for the first visit: Cauliflower from the small plates.

Extremely delicious, I can only recommend it!

Unfortunately, prices were recently increased again significantly (estimated at 12-15%). This may be understandable from a business perspective, but for the common guest it will be difficult budget-wise.

Very friendly service and very good food.

Fantastic service and very tasty food. It's very busy, so it's worth making a reservation in good time. However, the tables are rather smaller and closely spaced, so the background noise is very loud.

Everything was delicious, especially chicken biryani and the cauliflower dish. Definetely recommended!

I’ve been visiting the restaurant for over four times already. We were always greeted with a warm, big smile directly into the beautiful warm and pleasant design of the place. The food is brilliant. Very authentic very fresh and you can definitely tell that the kitchen staff knows what they’re doing.. the use of spices techniques and presentation is absolutely astonishing. The service is very light, easy, friendly and professional. So happy to find a good place to go out and eat in Hamburg!
