authentikka Winterhude in Hamburg

Very authentic, lovely atmosphere and really delicious food! The butter chicken and garlic naan with dip trio is highly recommended!

Unfortunately, the food offered was not to my taste.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Indian restaurant! Delicious, authentic food, freshly prepared and wonderfully spiced. Cozy atmosphere and super friendly service. We always love coming back – highly recommended!

Hands down, one of the best indian restaurants in Hamburg. I have been to this restaurant a lot of times, and the food is delicious and the staff is extremely kind. However, the Winterhude branch is not as vast as the Mitte one but it suffices for my indian cravings. The quality is top-notch notch along with the portion size being ample. Must recommended.

Delicious food, some portions were very small, but the flavors were well-rounded! I would order the butter chicken tandoori (pictured) again in a heartbeat. The naan bread was also tasty. The waitstaff seemed a bit pushy and kept asking what we wanted to eat and drink.

We had an excellent meal here. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was especially friendly and attentive. We were very satisfied.

Delicious food, a lovely, peaceful atmosphere, and a very attentive waiter! Top-notch! We'll be back! 😋🤩

I ordered from Authentikka for the first time via Wolt. They had special offers that I wanted to try. I've been traveling to India regularly for over 10 years and expect authentic Indian food here in Germany, and I'm still searching. Order: Palak Paneer (spinach with Indian cheese), Paneer Masala (Indian cheese in a spicy tomato cream sauce), and Cauliflower Popcorn. Palak Paneer & Paneer Masala: + Large portion + Looks fresh + Leakproof packaging +/- The amount of paneer was good, but the paneer was very hard +/- The palak was okay, the seasoning is a matter of taste. It's usually my favorite dish, but not here. +/- The masala sauce curdled, the taste was okay, but I had a stomachache afterward - The rice had large grains but smelled musty, like a rice sack, as if it hadn't been washed properly - Styrofoam packaging sealed with plastic film No way to open it without making a mess or tearing the whole package. I had to use scissors. Cauliflower Popcorn: + It was a fairly large portion to start with + It was very fresh and tasty + It was very well packaged in a cardboard container - It wasn't dry Gobi, but more like Gobi Manchurian. - Cauliflower popcorn is usually more like Gobi pakora, meaning just breaded and fried without sauce Delivery: +/- It was on a Saturday evening and was delayed several times. It took about 90 minutes, which is okay for a weekend.

We had the absolute pleasure of enjoying the Indian food, and it was simply fantastic! From the appetizer to the dessert, every bite was a feast for the senses. The butter chicken, lamb, and shahi paneer were perfectly seasoned, as if they had come straight from India. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive. You can immediately tell that the food is cooked with passion and attention to detail.

The restaurant was super chic. Beautiful decor and very cozy. The food was truly fantastic; the meat was incredibly tender, the chicken practically fell apart. The cocktails were also excellent. We had a wonderful evening.

The food and service were excellent. It was the only place I've come across in Germany that had outdoor heaters ♥️

Great stay with a few minor drawbacks The restaurant is beautifully designed, however, the seating is quite close, and conversations from the next table are clearly audible; the overall noise level is rather high. The food arrived extremely quickly – about five minutes after ordering. On the one hand, this was great, but on the other hand, it made it seem a bit reheated. However, it was very tasty! The service was exceptionally friendly and attentive. It was a bit of a shame that we felt we had to leave after only about 1.5 hours. Despite our glasses still being full, we were charged after about 1 hour and 35 minutes because the table had been reserved again. Given that our reservation was supposed to last two hours, this was somewhat disappointing and unfortunately detracted from the overall pleasant atmosphere. Combined with the very fast service, it gave the impression that the restaurant prioritizes high customer turnover.

Really delicious food and super friendly service!

A fantastic restaurant! The food is very good, and the staff and chef are friendly and accommodating. I'll be back again and again.

It was such a wonderful experience, and the food was perfect! I've never experienced such good and genuinely warm service. We felt so completely welcome and comfortable. We're already looking forward to the next time!

Let's start with the positive: Service: Great! Attentive, fast, friendly, and with a smile. TOP! 1 star! I really enjoyed the homemade basil, rose, and cucumber. Contrary: I had a dish for €18.20. The rice wasn't quite enough for me, so I asked for a refill. A whopping €4 for a portion of rice 😳🤣 For a dish at this price, I think the extra €4 for rice is outrageous. We also had chicken tikka for €18.70. We were then charged €22 on the bill for the extra curry. Unfortunately, we weren't told about this beforehand. Furthermore, we didn't order anything extra. If the sauce, which apparently has to be ordered separately, hadn't come, we would have only gotten dry chicken and naan. I have to say, all these hidden costs leave a negative aftertaste. We won't be coming back because the food didn't blow us away for the price.

Outstanding food. Fair prices. Good service. Great atmosphere.

For me the best Indian in town.

We hadn't booked a reservation, so we had to sit outside. Service was friendly, but complaints were handled inappropriately. The food tasted okay, but was cold; it was reheated at our request. The rice we complained about didn't arrive until we'd already eaten, and we were charged extra.

Very nice Indian restaurant, with different than the usual (fast food) Indian dishes😋

Fantastic dishes (with many vegan options!) in a cozy atmosphere in the heart of Winterhude :)

As a half-Indian who has been cooking Indian food since childhood and has tried many Indian restaurants in and outside of Germany, I can only say: The Indian food served here is in a league of its own. It's not an exaggeration! The flavors are perfectly balanced, the consistency and taste of the curry sauces demonstrate the effort and time put into their preparation, and you can also taste the quality of the ingredients used. My Goa Prawn Curry was simply sublime. The spiciness, which I was warned about when ordering, was also authentic. Not only the food, but also the delicious masala chai transported me straight to India in seconds. The service is friendly and quick, the ambiance modern, stylish, tasteful, and cozy, with pleasant lighting. There's a beautiful outdoor area under old trees, which I was lucky enough to experience this summer. Authentikka - the name says it all. A visit to Hamburg is not complete without a visit to Authentikka in Winterhude!

We had a great evening as a large group of nine people! The food was served quickly, there was something for everyone, and above all, the beautiful interior and outstanding service ☺️

Best curry I’ve had, such a gem of a restaurant would highly recommend!

A great Indian restaurant with traditional dishes but a modern twist. If you're looking for a truly unique Indian experience, this is the place to go. The interior is also very inviting!

Teh service and atmosphere was very nice ..but food was mediocre ..good for people who don't understand the taste of Indian food .. quality of food very basic and no value for money .. food can be salty at times

Super delicious and high-quality food! Incredibly delicious Malai Kofta. The lunch menu is also worth it, and I'd happily go back again.

I came here for the first time for my birthday. The food is incredibly delicious. I highly recommend it.

Absolutely fantastic, friendly staff and incredibly delicious food. I've been to many Indian restaurants, but this one is truly one of the insider tips. The butter chicken was a recommendation from the waitress and truly unbelievably delicious. The staff were truly warm and welcoming. I'll definitely be back! The price is absolutely reasonable for the quality.

We wanted to try Indian food again and came across Authentikka on a recommendation. We were surprised at how busy it was on a Thursday evening, which made it a bit noisy. The service was very friendly, though, and the food was surprisingly quick. We were truly impressed with the food! Great starters, delicious main courses, and the naan bread was also delicious. We were too full for dessert. We'll definitely be back!

This was our first time at this restaurant. We really enjoyed the food. It won't be our last visit.

Good selection of vegetarian dishes and perfectly seasoned. The staff is very friendly

Stylish, beautiful restaurant. Friendly and attentive service. Several options for food intolerances, very flexible in their handling. I'd be happy to return.

It is a really good looking restaurant, fair/reasonable prices. The portions of food might be a little smaller than in other Indian restaurants, but it is the right amount for better digestion. 😉

Food was decent, but honestly never been so badly treated in the entire Hamburg. Service was beyond awful. We arrived at 20:00 and they said that it would take 10-15 min to get a table. Meanwhile we were inside waiting without even being served a water, people were getting tables. It took us 55 min to get a beer. By 21:30 we were finally eating. If even worth the effort, but the chicken and fish were extremely dry.

I was just commenting on the service. I didn’t visit the place. I tried to reserve the place before 2 hours and it was not confirmed. Then I tried to call them. One guy picked up the call and was bit rude saying Even if you reserve the place before , that won’t be seen . Then why to have a reserving option in the maps. Remove it please.

Super nice ambiance, both inside and out! Great food, very tasty and high quality! The desserts are amazing, and the coffee is great! We'll definitely be back.

We've been going to Authentikka for a long time and really enjoy it. And we've always been very satisfied. The service in Winterhude has always been outstanding, in our opinion. This weekend, unfortunately, our experience wasn't so good. The service didn't know the answer to many questions and just wanted to get the table through quickly. We wanted to order a classic drink off the menu, but that didn't seem to work. Instead of asking at the bar, the table was cleared quickly, even though several people were still eating. They wanted to vacate it quickly. In the end, we were charged extra for rice, even though we only had three bowls for such a large group. When we asked about the rice, all they said was, "There's one bowl for every three curries." But when two of us eat, we always get a bowl...? Well, it's less about the amount than the principle. However, we were, as always, very satisfied with the food. It's very, very tasty. We'll be happy to come back but really hope to have the same service again soon.

Great ambiance and delicious food. We're deducting points for the small portion (exactly 3 balls in the Cauliflower Korma) and the water options. €8 for 1L of mineral water... even after we've consumed cocktails and several other drinks per guest, tap water is refused. I would suggest offering at least a flat rate for table water per person in addition to the mineral water, as is common practice in most modern restaurants.

The food arrived quickly and was delicious, but the price was, in my opinion, significantly too high. Surcharges were communicated somewhat discreetly, and the service wasn't outstanding either. In retrospect, you feel a bit ripped off for what you get.

The food is good and delicious; we got a table right away even without a reservation. I haven't seen so many staff in a restaurant in a long time, who also took care of us promptly and consistently. I had the tandoori chicken, which I would only recommend if you can live without the sauce. The chili chicken, on the other hand, was really delicious. The outdoor seating is nice, but there's constant traffic. If that doesn't bother you, fine. Otherwise, go inside. Great atmosphere.

Best Indian restaurant in Hamburg, everything was great, super delicious food with a very nice and friendly team!

Unfriendly service – instead of hospitality, guests are slandered. We wanted to sit outside at lunch, but were rudely denied access to the only sunny spot. It wasn't really a problem, but as we left, the manager mocked us. A shame.

As authentic as the name suggests, the flavors are simply perfect! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The drinks were excellent and paired wonderfully with the food. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine!

Authentikka is an absolute dream every time you visit. From the friendly service and stylish decor to the best Indian food in Hamburg, Authentikka leaves nothing to be desired. I highly recommend the cauliflower popcorn as a starter, and the butter chicken and garlic naan for the main course is a dream.

Overall, we were very satisfied! The cumin lemonade was a real highlight – unusual, but super refreshing. The "medium-spicy" aspect, however, was a matter of interpretation: The leg of lamb was very tender, yet really hot and almost knocked us off our feet, while the butter chicken – also ordered medium-spicy – was rather mild, but incredibly tasty and sufficiently spicy. The lamb curry was also good, but the spice profile wasn't quite as well-rounded as the butter chicken – although that's certainly a matter of taste. The biryani was one of the highlights: perfectly spicy, juicy chicken, and beautifully presented. The butter naan was solid, but could have been a bit fluffier. Conclusion: A clear recommendation for anyone who appreciates Indian cuisine with character – and a small warning: "medium-spicy" can mean anything here.

A bit more expensive but also super delicious food

This evening was my first visit to this magnificent restaurant and I was captivated from the moment I arrived. As soon as we were shown to our seats, I felt completely at ease. The service was warm and attentive. The food? A solid 12 out of 10! We had three starters and two main courses, and everything was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

The atmosphere is very cozy and you can either sit inside or outside. Service was also perfect. We were looked after very well and felt really comfortable. The food was very delicious. So overall it was a great experience and we will go here again for sure!

The tables are too close together, so you hear a lot of what's going on at the neighboring tables. The portions could be larger for these prices, but I wasn't full.

A truly lovely evening with great food and reasonable prices for the quality. We were greeted very warmly by the manager (I assume), and he immediately made us feel pleased to have us. That's not a given these days. The place was quite busy, but we didn't have to wait. Our waitress was super attentive and sweet. She radiated good cheer despite being very busy. One small suggestion for improvement: our wine glasses weren't refilled. But then everything would have been perfect. The food was incredibly delicious. Absolutely worth the price. I'm looking forward to our next visit 😊

After my experience in India in 2010, I was completely reluctant to ever eat Indian food again. I found it too dirty and disgusting. This restaurant pleasantly surprised me, and I'm giving it 5 stars with a clear conscience... even though the original Indian cuisine is different.

The online reservation is unreliable/doesn't work. I had reserved a table the day before for a certain time and waited until the next day for a confirmation, which the system said would be sent to me. Since it didn't arrive, I called. They told me nothing had arrived and there were no seats available anyway. Pretty rude and uncooperative. They could have handled it more nicely. Then I called Authentikka Mitte, and they had a table available and were very nice. Winterhude is over for me for now.

Delicious food, extremely pleasant and attentive service. All this on a balmy summer evening on the terrace. That's what makes dining in a restaurant fun! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Brilliant! Try it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Very good. Not outstanding. I would go back anytime. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Good. Nothing special. ⭐️⭐️ = A bit disappointing. But still okay. ⭐️ = Better not go. Save your money!

We were at the restaurant with a group of 15 people. We had a mixed starter and a main course. One of the best Indian restaurants I've ever eaten at. Good food, good service. We were all delighted. We'd love to go back!

This top-notch restaurant is incredibly delicious, the staff is super friendly, and the food arrived in record time even though the place was completely packed. I highly recommend it.

Great service and delicious food 🙂

Super friendly welcome and great service. The food was excellent, as always. I recommend making a reservation. The ambiance only gets 4 out of 5 stars, as sitting outside on the street isn't that great.

I love visiting here for a bit fancy dining, and it's Halal. I've been here so many times and as a Pakistani, it reminds me of home too, because it really is that Authentik

Very tasty Indian food, friendly service.

I am glad to find the taste of food is Indian. I tried veg thali which was of proper Indian taste. If they reduce the price I would have eaten lunch here everyday 😋

Food was delicious and very authentic Indian cuisine. I'm glad to see many good blends of food choices here.

I highly recommend it. I've eaten here several times. Always with really attentive service and delicious food.

Absolutely recommendable! Fantastic food, super friendly people. Thank you very much.

We have ordered the food via Wolt I would like to give you a true review what I have felt for my order I have ordered dal makhani two garlic naan and butter paneer masala but in butter paneer masala the the quantity of paneer was very less I would like to let you know this because I frequently order from many restaurants across germany and for the price you are charging I felt it’s little over priced and if you cloud change the quantity size then everything was perfect 👌including the taste 👍 all the best .

Absolutely beautiful restaurant with great food. ✨Only two small things bothered me: 1. I ordered lamb that was supposed to be braised so long that it fell apart... almost, but not quite 🤏 2. The acoustics were terrible in the back right corner next to a group of 8 people. Thanks for the great service 🙏

Fantastic food, service and ambience

Fabulous experience. The food is simply beyond belief! I can’t wait to come back again and try everything else.

You can definitely tell they put a lot of effort into it. The owner was very attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, the restaurant is so crowded that everyone seems a bit stressed, making it difficult to fully enjoy your meal. We had really high expectations based on the good reviews, which unfortunately weren't met. The dishes were okay, but nothing special in terms of taste. We didn't like the naan bread. Conclusion: We really couldn't understand the hype.

Wonderful food in a truly beautiful setting with great service! It's also great that there are so many vegetarian dishes.

We had a wonderful evening with you! But let's start from the beginning: a spontaneous reservation for 6 people on Saturday evening worked out wonderfully, and we had a very comfortable outdoor seating. The service was very attentive, coming to us several times at short intervals to advise us. The food was also ready in a flash. The cauliflower popcorn and okra for starters were very tasty. We also really enjoyed the various curries for the main course, and the portions were great. The spice was very spicy (upon request) 😄 The rice came as a single portion for the whole table. Sharing is always a tricky thing 😄, and I had the feeling there wasn't enough for everyone. But with garlic naan, it wasn't a problem. The mango lassi rounded out the flavor. The quality is reflected in the prices. We'll be back!

I deduct points for the portion size and the completely overpriced naan bread.

If you like Indian cuisine, this is a must-visit in Hamburg! Great food and friendly service.

We already know Authentikka from its other locations, where we really like it. They also serve delicious food with friendly service! While we prefer the city center, it's also nice here, and the food is of the same high quality.

The food and cocktails were delicious. Unfortunately, it was very loud.

Plese dont try lamb chops.too much of smell and Taste less…Not proper Grill and was not chops totly froad….

The Authentikka in Winterhude offers authentic Indian cuisine in a stylish ambience. The menu includes classic dishes like butter chicken as well as vegetarian and vegan options like palak paneer and tofu tikka masala. What is particularly noteworthy is the restaurant's sustainable concept: it relies on local partners and many dishes are vegetarian or vegan. The service was friendly and attentive.

Such a broad and well curated menu. The service is incredible and the interior is designed so beautifully it just makes the experience all the much better

The food came quickly, was very tasty and the service was extremely friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is also really cozy. I'd love to come back!

Yesterday we went family for dinner, ordered shahi paneer saying medium spicy Jesus Christ they put all chilli in our dish Asking why this was so spicy they responded we can add yogurt to neutralise this. I have been a fan of their other branches however this was our horrible experience. I ain’t coming back. At the end, they added extra paan and pani puri to our bill which was ordered by next couple sitting to us. I expect this to be human error they corrected

Good food and service. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The food really tastes good.

Very nice staff and delicious food. Absolutely recommended 😃

Great food, service and atmosphere. One of the best Indian restaurants in Hamburg. Highly recommend.

We were warmly welcomed by the owner. The food was delicious, and so was the ambiance. However, the service was mediocre to poor; our plates weren't cleared, and the waiter kept making strange comments. We were celebrating a special occasion, and the waiter spoiled it a bit for us. It's a shame, because everything else was really nice.

We love going to Authentikka regularly and also like to show it to friends who visit us in Hamburg. Everyone is thrilled with the food – a real highlight every time!

The food was good, the service could be improved and the atmosphere was not relaxed due to the constant hectic running back and forth of the employees. We sat directly at the table for four, which faced the toilets and kitchen. My chair was jostled several times by the staff that evening because they didn't take the curve far enough.

We recently had the pleasure of eating at Authentikka in Hamburg-Winterhude and were thoroughly impressed. The welcome was warm, and the service remained attentive and friendly throughout the evening - without being intrusive. What was particularly pleasant was that we were able to sit outside when the weather was nice, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The menu offers a great selection of authentic Indian dishes, and all four at the table agreed: the food was outstanding! Every dish was aromatic, well seasoned and tasted to the point. Overall, a thoroughly successful visit – great food, a lovely atmosphere and exceptionally good service. We'll definitely be back!

I've been there a few times and also for a sharing birthday meal - all the dishes are soooo delicious and the staff is just perfect. It's such a nice atmosphere - 5 out of 5 for sure 🔥

Nice Indian fusion food , but too much species I would say .

We spent a wonderful evening there, with delicious food and excellent service. Unfortunately, you sit very close together. But we will definitely come back.

The food was delicious, and they make an effort to preserve the authentic quality and taste of Indian cuisine. Everything, including the service, was excellent. However, my only concern was the payment process. I always leave a tip as a kind gesture (at least 10%), but tipping should be entirely voluntary, not something customers feel pressured into, as is common in American culture. When paying, the waitress handed me the POS machine, which displayed only three tipping options: 10%, 15%, or 20%. This approach indirectly forces customers to tip. Please allow customers the freedom to decide whether or not to tip. Aside from that, everything else was great.

We have eaten at Authentikka several times, this time with seven of us as a family. The staff was courteous, very nice and attentive. We once again felt very comfortable. The selection of food and drinks is plentiful and consistently delicious! In summer you can also sit outside very well.

Incredibly good Indian food. Very authentic, matching the name. The waitresses were extremely attentive and I felt more like I was in a 1 Michelin star restaurant. Very nice and pleasantly furnished. It was a little difficult to see the map in the dimmed light. But there are lights on site that help. The menu didn't promise too much: the lamb was incredibly tender, the naan bread was juicy and fluffy

Super great restaurant. Uniquely cozy atmosphere, great drinks and super tasty dishes.

Authentic Indian cuisine, cozy-chic and very nice staff. Always 10/10 Especially at Indian festivals there are also special cards that are very special. I can also highly recommend the normal evening menu. During the week I went to lunch in the city center again and the experience was also great. The best Indian in town in my opinion.

Everything was amazing, all the food is delicious and we ate until food comma because we couldn’t stop. Cauliflower Popcorn 5/5 ✨

were there for the first time. Super delicious cuisine. Well seasoned. A 10/10 both visually and taste-wise. Marvin's service was also impeccable. We'll be back. Thank you !

The Chicken Korma here is truly nothing short of a revelation! Anyone who knows me also knows my obsession with it... 😅 A Famous Jammu is my drink of choice here. All of the other dishes that I've had the chance to try here were also a delight, but in the end I still have my clear favorites and this review is long overdue. Since I don't live in Hamburg, I don't come here nearly as often as I would like. But if HH, then Authentikka in Winterhude. The reason for this is definitely the friendly, extremely careful and nice team. Not to forget the feast for the eyes: the harmonious interior design also contributes to the fact that we always enjoy coming here and feel completely at home.

The food is good if it is well seasoned or spicy. This is how I imagine authentic Indian food :) However, if you are sensitive to it, you should ask to be on the safe side, as the menu does not indicate the level of spiciness. We had biryani and three different curries, which tasted very different and were all really tasty. The homemade (alcohol-free) drinks were also impressive! I found the service to be intrusive, especially until I took my order, and over the course of the evening I was always careful to stick to the two hours I had booked at the table. It's best to know in advance what you want to order ;) We wanted to have a cozy time and unfortunately I have to say that the ambience didn't help. The decor was Instagrammable, but it was so dark that you could barely see any of it. To read the menu we had to hold it under the mini lamp on the table or use the online menu. The fact that we wanted to leave the restaurant after exactly 2 hours was mainly because we were pretty cold. Yes, it's January and it gets cold in the restaurant when the door opens. But it honestly felt like there was no heating to counteract this. I can only recommend wrapping up warmly to eat here.

The food and atmosphere is great, I've been there a few times. However, no one can be reached by phone. If something goes wrong when ordering online, it's very annoying!
