authentikka Winterhude in Hamburg

Great food - “a little spicy” but delicious, the dessert was a dream, the service was very friendly and competent. We will be back

The food is really top notch. Also nice to sit and very nice staff.

Very good food. Great choice for vegetarians. Very humourous and friendly staff. I recommend

Authentic Indian food! Beautiful new restaurant on the corner of Gertigstrasse and Schinkelstrasse, the second one in the Schanze. Nice outdoor area to sit, lots of space inside too. It's better to make a reservation as the restaurant is always full. Great Indian dishes, and price-performance ratio is right. They also have lunch. Clear recommendation!

The food was very tasty 👌🏻 I just think it's a shame that so many dogs sat next to us, it's unhygienic and dogs that constantly sniff don't belong in the restaurant and it's also too narrow to share space with dogs share, otherwise everything is ok. I love dogs don't get me wrong.

Super delicious food and very courteous and friendly staff.

Nice place.nice vibe. good food.

Food is nice but service could be more friendly.

All in all perfect. Thank you for the lovely evening. 😊

Service was nice, quick and everything was fine. Had butter chicken and another chicken dish but unfortunately it was way too spicy for us personally. I don't know the butter chicken from other Indian restaurants as spicy.

The cooking here is not quite as brilliant as in the Bombay Brasserie in London, but the cuisine at Authentikka is still highly recommended. Finely composed, neatly arranged. Served by extremely friendly staff.

Great modern restaurant with very good cuisine 👌

We were at Authentikka on Gertigstrasse for the second time today for lunch. The restaurant was almost empty, but no one came to the table for 15-20 minutes to inquire about your well-being/drink request. Unfortunately the food was very very greasy, both the naan and the chicken tikka (it felt like it was swimming in oil) Goodwill is zero, more like indifference, it's a shame, there are much better Indians in HH. Was the last visit there.

Good food, quick lunch, chic, modern atmosphere.

Authentikka Winterhude - A culinary highlight My spontaneous visit to Authentikka Winterhude was an absolute highlight. The Indian food was not only very tasty, but also authentic and prepared with great attention to detail. The portions were generous and the spices were perfectly balanced. I would particularly like to highlight the extremely nice and attentive staff. Despite the spontaneous visit, the restaurant manager quickly organized a place for us. The service was consistently friendly and efficient. The food was served quickly and every bite felt like you had traveled straight to India. Dessert was also a delight and rounded off the culinary experience perfectly. Overall, my visit to Authentikka Winterhude was a complete success and I can only warmly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious Indian food. Butter chicken is still quite spicy. Ambiance is nice :)

The food was good, but unfortunately the service only deserves 4 stars. Didn't get a reserved table, alternative wasn't any better. There was an item listed on the bill, but it was not served.

Cool shop and atmosphere. Delicious food. Very friendly service

If you love Indian food or want to try it for the first time, you should definitely go to Authentikka. I've always had the best Indian food here. Whether ski jump or Winterhude, perfect quality everywhere. Thank you for the great taste experiences and the very friendly service. You are my highlight.

Incredibly delicious food and a great ambience. There is beautiful furniture outside and inside. Ideal for spicy eaters.

Our best restaurant so far in Hamburg. Authentic and amazing Indian food… 5 stars!!! Great service as well. Cauliflower popcorn is a must

Great ambience, attentive service, incredibly good food. More is not possible.

Excellent lunch! Very tasty at affordable price. The best Indian food I have eaten again in a long time. If you want to have dinner, it is better to make a reservation as the shop is always very busy. I think the butter chicken is excellent - if you have a problem with the spiciness, you should let us know in advance, because the cooking here is authentically spicy!

Authentic Indian food. Try Baingan Bharta and House Daal. Yummy😋

In one word: 'authentic' as the name suggests. Can't be better! Fantastic meal. Would have loved to try the whole menu! Extremely friendly service, nice warm but hip atmosphere.

Best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. The food is consistently very good and the menu has an enormous variety of dishes.

The overall food, ambience and service were good. Not authentic as much, the masala tea had no hint of spices and herbs.

Leaving 4 stars since there's definitely some room for improvement. The service was alright but I felt that the seating space was a tad clustered. To my surprise the chicken biryani had more vegetables (mostly zucchini) than the chicken but the flavour made up for the disbalance. The yellow dal was quite simple and flavourful, hence I'd definitely recommend it.

The food at Authentikka is always delicious and of consistently high quality and sophistication. Additionally, the restaurant is completely styled in a modern, luxurious yet authentically Indian aesthetic. You can sit comfortably both inside and outside, even in the cold seasons thanks to the hot radiators. The super friendly and well-trained staff and the cool bar make the restaurant experience perfect for me. Authentikka has been my absolute favorite restaurant in Hamburg since it opened and has taught me to love Indian cuisine.

The best paneer tikka masala I've ever had 💕🔥

Service and ambience at first glance were very good and nice. At second glance, however, the arrangement of the tables is much too close, so that you actually sit next to each other. Food: starter great; Main course Chicken Tikka Masala at most lukewarm. In general, the portions are manageable. The waitress, who had been nice at first, was suddenly speechless at the comment that the food wasn't hot. In summary: From the outside, wow, if you take a closer look, there are many better Indian restaurants in HH.

This Indian restaurant has been around for a few months. Since I come here often, I almost always see a very high occupancy. Spontaneous visits are therefore always difficult. So: If you come here specifically for this, you should definitely make a reservation. Then you can also dine at the numerous and lovingly prepared outdoor places and be entertained by the lively Gertigstrasse... If you don't care about any of that, you can sit down somewhere in the restaurant and treat yourself to fantastic Indian food. On my last visit I had a bottle of Kingfisher as an aperitif. For dinner I ordered a garlic chili naan including the three chutney mix: the bread was hot, freshly baked, soft and very tasty. The chutneys went perfectly with naan and the main course, chili chicken. Several well-cooked pieces of chicken, some with skin, in a dark brown and creamy sauce with lots of onion pieces as a complement. On the restaurant's internal spiciness scale, this dish is on the second of four levels. Since I really like spiciness, I upgraded to the fourth level when I ordered. The chili chicken was exactly how I would like it to be in an Indian restaurant: very, very hot. For me, that always includes mango lassi. This contrasts and softens the sharpness very well. They obviously know about the need for the drink with spicy food and offer a 0.5 liter carafe. I needed two of them myself... That's why I'm saving the chai crème brûlée for next time. The service was prompt, attentive and friendly. Since I was sitting quite centrally, five employees looked after me. You can trust this busy swarm of bees. What is not there are typical Indian decorations of a folkloric type. The focus is on a modern, lounge-like atmosphere.

Food ok. Cocktails and house specials all taste artificial and way too sweet! Then it's better to head over to Berglund after dinner.

Just great. Good, non-clichéd Indian cuisine, very well prepared and of high quality. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. Easy to reach by bus and train. Parking on site is almost impossible. Great vegan cuisine. We'd love to come back

Very tasty food at fair prices. Super friendly waiters who can give good advice and know their way around the food. You should make a reservation as the restaurant is very popular. Absolute recommendation.

The food was very good and the service was very friendly. We were also warmly welcomed with children and a dog.

When making the reservation, we asked whether vegetarian food without onions and garlic could be cooked for an Indian colleague (religious diet). The answer was no problem, just let the restaurant know and it would be prepared specially. Unfortunately, exactly one dish (and 2 starters) could be offered on site, everything else seems to have already been prepared and is not made fresh. An apology was made, but unfortunately there was no offer for the circumstances. It was quite cool in the shop itself, as the door was constantly open, with the outside temperature being around 15°C. The food we ordered (without the option to choose) was tasty and the atmosphere was appealing. Priced at the top end for what is on offer.

Went to Authentikka Winterhude for the first time today. The restaurant is modernly furnished and it wasn't very full at lunchtime. The food was delicious, but the portions were really small in my opinion compared to other Indian restaurants. The chicken biryani had a layer of white rice on top, but otherwise consisted mainly of very coarsely chopped vegetables, had almost no chicken meat and is therefore not recommended. The butter chicken was very tasty, had a pleasant spiciness and very tender meat. The naan bread also tasted very good. The waiters were really friendly and there was nothing wrong with the service. However, I find it a bit too expensive for the really small portions.

5* restaurant! There's nothing to complain about here! For us the best restaurant in town

Amazingly delicious food! Super nice staff! And some of the recipe ideas are awesome! Especially those that combine Western and Indian cuisine a little.

Food was fantastic as always at Authetika, so the chef he/she is doing an absolutely outstanding job. However it's the mannerism of the boss/manager/lead that is what upset me and resulted here in a low rating. We were early (6pm) and had no reservation but the place was empty. We were given a table and told we can stay for 1.5hrs as they had reservations later. Fine. We had our meal and after 1hr ordered our final drinks and asked for the bill. When the bill came we paid with the waitress right away and had expected to finish our drinks. However the manager came over and told us people are waiting for the table and pointed to two folks at the bar who needed our table. That was pressure on us already as we wer being pointed out now and stared at by other customers, then when I said we haven't finished our drinks he said "I told you you couldn't have the table for long". We were told 1.5hrs and it had been only 1 hr. I feel insulted. And similar to a rating I gave recently to the other authentica in Schanze, we are again being treated like cattle. Food always good, but the managers' rudeness and thoughtlessness for his customers are what deserves a poor rating.

It used to be quite good but has deteriorated a lot. Straight is not always courteous. Takeaway food is usually cold.

We were there with Indian friends from Pune. Both confirmed that the food was very authentic and creatively prepared. Also a big compliment to the cocktails like Mumbai Colada. A taste explosion! Great food, great service

New favorite Indian in Hamburg. I would particularly like to praise the service! So rare to be treated so warmly and kindly by all the employees. At least 3 employees wished us a nice evening, even though some of them didn't serve us. In addition, the service was incredibly fast and gave good advice. Top!! The food was mega. Very authentic and well seasoned. We didn't have to wait long for our food either. Be sure to try the “shots” among the starters. Pure taste explosion! The drinks were also really, really tasty. All in all: super good! We will be back!

We were there spontaneously on Friday evening and got a place for two. However, I would recommend reserving a table. The waitresses were all very friendly and accommodating. The food and wine were also 100% convincing. Therefore the restaurant is a 10/10 for me and highly recommended

Very tasty real Indian food with very nice service

Nice atmosphere, the table is already invitingly set with tasteful dishes and, above all, cloth napkins. The taste of the food was very good. The table service was friendly. We didn't find the loaf cake tins particularly suitable as a container for the bread. The portion of yogurt served with the main course only filled a mini bowl about 3 cm in diameter (no more than a tablespoon full). For the extra portion with the same mini quantity, €2.50 was charged on the bill. Extremely petty and a shame to ruin the good impression.

Top ambience, top service and super delicious food. 👍

Everything was great . Prices are great for the location. Very nice service. Highly recommended, the food is very tasty!

Nice restaurant, food, top service, very nice

I can only recommend it and a real enrichment for Winterhude. Very well and authentically seasoned, reasonable portions and prices and great service. I would love to come back.

A really great, authentic, delicious restaurant, run by people with a lot of dedication, an eye for detail and a nice atmosphere. Top! 👌

Lunch on a Thursday. Was my first visit to an Indian restaurant. Prices are fair, portions are good and food is delicious. Definitely a risk of repetition.

The April special chicken lollipop is too good. But the chicken biriyani was a bit disappointing.

Really delicious food and the homemade drinks are also great. Not just syrup like others. Staff very friendly and keep asking if everything is okay.

Infinitely good Indian cuisine!!! Great atmosphere, super friendly waiter and simply incredibly good food!! We didn't have a reservation and even though it was very busy, they still made it possible for us to get a table! Drinks and food also arrived very quickly. Thank you for a great evening.

The food, service and ambience are just right. I really enjoy going there, although finding a parking space is sometimes difficult. But it's definitely worth it. But you should remember to make a reservation! Heartfelt recommendation. ♥️

nice atmosphere and good service, average food for the price

Pleasant atmosphere, very friendly and courteous service. You should definitely make a reservation

Really delicious food. Be careful with the level of spiciness. Even mild is quite spicy...and I actually like spicy food. Delicious naan and the lunch dishes are also great. Naan pizza I super interesting. Is recommended :)

Super delicious food and courteous, nice staff.

The restaurant itself is very nice, but I cannot confirm the accusation of the arrogant waiters. However, I don't understand the hype AT ALL and don't find it justified in any way. The food is anything but authentic, in my opinion. There were five of us there and not a single dish tasted Indian. There is no shortage of Indian spices. If you close your eyes and try the butter chicken, for example, you really think you're eating a creamy tomato sauce at an Italian restaurant. We won't be coming back and will rather eat authentic Indian food at Maharani, Badshah, Ashoka or SvaaDish again!

World-class store with a unique ambience

Very tasty, creative Indian restaurant with a high focus on delicacies whether for sharing, street food or classic Indian cuisine.

The food was super delicious. If you don't like it that spicy, you should let the very friendly waitress know in advance! Food and service great. Large vegan/vegetarian selection. Ambiance didn't entirely convince us. The tables were very, very close together and unfortunately there was no “Indian flair” at all. Nevertheless, we would recommend the restaurant.

The food is simply outstanding We will definitely come back and can only recommend this restaurant to everyone!

There is a great atmosphere in the restaurant and the food and staff were fantastic 🙏🏻 Can only recommend it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Super tasty food, short waiting times despite being busy and a nice terrace.

Lamb biryani, chicken tandoori or chicken tikka, mango lassi, samosa chat these are very tasty

This charming restaurant serves dishes with a genuine touch of love, evident in every bite. The warm ambiance and attentive service enhance the overall delightful dining experience.

For me the best Indian in town! The food is authentic, the quality of the dishes is high and the price is completely reasonable. Clear recommendation.

Really great food. You can say that it should be milder but still spicy. Really great. Gladly again. 2024 great food but also mild is spicy.

Wonderful service and people. The Tikka is highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars. Everything is very crowded. Top service, top food, prices ok. Gladly again

Although we made a week's mistake when reserving the table, we got a nice table for 4 people on Friday evening. What particularly stood out was the excellent service through friendliness, attentiveness and great recommendations for choosing dishes. Our dishes came at the same time, quickly, were well seasoned and really tasty. Overall, we really enjoyed it and had a very nice evening - thank you!

Very tasty food and very nice service. Unfortunately we were given a table right at the door. This place was really not nice and we always had the guests coming in right on our necks. Otherwise I can't fault anything.

Just perfect! I haven't eaten Indian food in a long time and I was even happier to have been here! Food, service, ambience - everything is perfect here. I had the Chili Chicken + Butter Naan and it was heavenly! We will be back!

Never again! I had reserved a table for 11 people. We arrived 10 minutes late and were rudely shouted at. “We are in Germany. You have to be on time.” Something like that has never happened to me before. The only reason I didn't go was because it was my birthday and I would never have gotten a new table anywhere else so quickly.

Food delicious, restaurant very full, unfriendly communication in advance when booking for more than 6 people. When we were 10 minutes late we were shouted at and tried to eject us from the restaurant.

A spontaneous Saturday evening took us to this great Indian restaurant, where we surprisingly found a seat at the bar. We were impressed by the cocktails and the excellent food. An experience that we would like to repeat!

The food and service was wonderful. It's best to reserve in advance. I'll definitely come back 😃

Great Indian restaurant in Winterhude. Menu also offers a wide range of vegan options. Prices are quite high, but the quality is good here. Be sure to order the papadam or one of the naan breads. Also great: there is an option to adapt dishes for allergy sufferers.

Good food ..food was well prepared .. we tried various different dishes .. everything was very tasty .. unfortunately Dal Makani was .. very sweet as a North Indian that's a no go ;-).. Overall top 1 Indian restaurants in Hamburg .

The meals were excellent. Kofta palak and cauliflower were vegan and very well prepared. The same applies to the wholemeal flatbread from the oven. The homemade ginger mint drink was equally delicious. The atmosphere is modern and very cozy. The service was very friendly, but sometimes a bit too fake and intrusive - overall highly recommended!

The BEST Indian restaurant in Hamburg! Whether for take-away or on site. I would recommend local though as the service and ambience is a 10/10. Absolutely worth a visit!

The food is fantastic, certainly one of the top 5 Indian restaurants in HH, in terms of price/performance ratio. Probably No.1. The service was, there is no other way to put it, just perfect! The lady was able to explain everything in detail, was extremely attentive, she didn't miss a single detail, it was like being in a star restaurant, but everyone else was extremely friendly and competent, gastro professionals! Chapeau, you should have been there!

Had the lunch menu, can definitely recommend. Great value for the price. Very quick service as well

Delicious and extremely aesthetic place, loved the vibe and the food!! Will definitely go back!

Sehr hochwertiges Essen, aufmerksamer Service in angenehmem Ambiente. Das Chicken Tikka Masala ist sehr zu empfehlen, wenn pikant gespeist werden möchte.

Fav Indian place in HH! Friendly & quick service, great food, and really cute interiors ✨ I have tried so many things on the menu, and they’ve all been a hit. Some dishes pack some heat, but you can easily avoid those if that’s not what you fancy. Favs: Goa Prawn Curry 🌶️, Cauliflower Popcorn, Chicken Tikka, Gol Gappa Shots Honourable Mentions: Chili Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh, Butter Chicken Many options for vegetarians 🌱!

Fantastisches indisches Restaurant mit authentischer und köstlicher Küche. Der hausgemachte Drink war ein Highlight - erfrischend und einzigartig. Der Service war freundlich und aufmerksam, was den Gesamteindruck abrundete. Freue mich auf den nächsten Besuch!

Delicous Indian food in a very modern setting! The Lamb curry is highly recommended.

Love the biryani and the ambiance of the resto is quite cozy. The food were not spicy enough for me though.

Sehr hochwertiges indisches Essen & dazu noch sehr zuvorkommender Service! Leider wurde unsere Reservierung, welche wir telefonisch getätigt haben nicht bearbeitet, aber vor Ort wurde alles bestens koordiniert! Unbedingt den Blumenkohl & Butter Chicken essen - wow 🤩 Komme im Juni wieder! Lg aus München

Mega authentisches indisches Essen! Unbedingt die Reservierung bestätigen lassen, trotz des holprigen Startes (war zu blöd eine Reservierungsbestätigung nachzufragen), ein wundervoller Abend (mal wieder). Kellnerin war super lieb und sehr versiert! Klare Empfehlung!! BUTTERCHICKEN EIN MUSS!!! 🤤

Der beste indische Laden Hamburgs! Super, authentisch leckere Küche und toller freundlicher Service. Ich kann den Laden nur jedem empfehlen! Danke für so viel liebe zum Detail

Die Plätze im Bereich der Tür waren sehr eng..für die Gäste und auch für das Personal..man musste immer dicht an den Tisch heranrutschen... Alles andere war klasse..der Service 1a Gerne wieder

Schön eingerichtet, Personal fantastisch, die Speisen zum Niederknien, Preise sehr fair Fantastisch und nur zu empfehlen.

Gutes Indisches Essen auf moderne Art, schönes Ambiente, sehr freundliche und kompetente Bedienung . Wir kommen gerne wieder 🫶🏻

Wir hatten so viel Gutes gehört und waren leider enttäuscht... wir haben alle gefroren weil wir den ungünstigen Tisch direkt neben der Einganstür bekamen und diese ging alle 2 Minuten auf. Das Essen war geschmacklich gut, hätte aber auch etwas wärmer sein können. Die Portionen sind im Vergleich zu anderen Indischen Restaurants echt klein gewesen.
