Ayana Indian Kitchen in Erkelenz

Indian cuisine was new to me, but it tasted good. There's a lot of variety on the menu, so I'll be back again.

Great atmosphere and the food is very tasty and, above all, hot, both in the restaurant and when you pick it up. With a large group and if it is full overall, you can take some time. The pickup schedule is always perfect and I've never had to wait for my food. The staff is extremely friendly and always tries to look after all guests. We always enjoy going here, reserving a table makes perfect sense. Price-performance also suits us. The wine recommendation also always rounded off our meal. Keep it up!

It was our first time in this restaurant and we didn't know Indian cuisine at all. We were pleasantly surprised, everything tasted delicious. Above all, we noticed that the Indian dishes all seem to have a basic level of spiciness, tasty but taking some getting used to. The restaurant was very crowded and therefore the noise level was very high. The service staff were all very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Unfortunately, we got the impression that the service was pretty headless and didn't really work in a structured way. All in all, it was a really nice evening.

Food and service was good. It was very well attended and therefore unfortunately noisy.

Very nicely and stylishly furnished🪑. Service is without exception extremely friendly and attentive 😀. Large selection 🍤🥘, very tasty 😋 everything served hot 🔥. We'll be back.🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏼‍♂️ Parking spaces in front of the house are often completely full 🚗, avoid the train station - right at the underpass.

What a wonderful way to have dinner. Very good cuisine and attentive staff. I am thrilled, excellent soup

Great restaurant, great service and really tasty. Gladly again!

We ate at Ayana for the first time today and were absolutely thrilled. The ambience, the service and especially the food were excellent and we can highly recommend it. We will definitely come back

Delicious food and very nice staff

Very nice waiters, had a great evening. The food is very good, the dessert is fantastic. Mango cream and chocolate cake alone are worth the visit!

Everything is just perfect. The food was plentiful and of great quality that you can taste. Service very friendly will definitely come back 👍

I visited the restaurant on the recommendation of a friend. Completely right. The food is amazing! The price is rather medium-high at just under €140 for 3 people, but after 3 courses each plus cocktails. We were all very satisfied in the end. We'll definitely come back again!

The food is very tasty! There is a very large selection of different Indian dishes, including many different vegetarian and vegan dishes. The service is also just great, with really nice and charismatic employees. 100% recommendation!

Great little restaurant with authentic food! In this day and age, the price is also fair.

Had another great evening with neighbours at Ayana. The food was delicious. Although it got very busy and drinks took a while at the beginning, it was all worth the wait. They were all very friendly, polite and always up for a joke. Well recommended and can't wait for our next visit.

We ate at the Ayana restaurant today based on a recommendation and were not disappointed. Although the restaurant was very busy, we were warmly welcomed at the door and escorted to our table. We had never eaten Indian food before and were therefore very careful with our choice of food. We had ordered mild and the food was mild but very tasty, the other levels of spiciness that were ordered at our table were also just right and delicious. We all received our food at the same time (this is not always the case with a table of ten people) and we Everyone was thrilled. The cocktails are also impressive. The service throughout the entire evening was excellent. We were certainly not here for the last time.

A nice restaurant, nice atmosphere and friendly and courteous service.

Super delicious food! Very nice waiters. All around a very nice experience! Clear recommendation!

Great restaurant. The food was great and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. The atmosphere is chic and cozy. We'll be back.

Excellent food and very attentive service. We always enjoy coming back

We stayed overnight in the hotel and then ate here in the evening. It was very busy (Saturday), but we were lucky and got a table. Very fast and competent service. Food also very tasty.

Very good food, service was nice too. The reservation online was very easy. We felt very comfortable in this restaurant and would love to come back.

This was my second time here and I am totally satisfied. A great choice for me as a vegetarian. Very friendly everyone and what can I say? I'll be back.

A top restaurant in Erkelenz from service to ambience to food. We've been there several times and have never been disappointed, on the contrary, we're so excited that we keep coming back. See you next time

Good food good staff nice restaurant

“The food is always excellent, everyone in the family can find what they’re looking for here – no matter how big or small! Particularly noteworthy is the friendly and attentive staff, who make the visit a pleasant experience every time. We’re always happy to come back!”

Food was very tasty! (No. 36 Ind. Kitchen Grill Platter: Lamb, Prawns, Chicken) The staff are also very nice. Ginger Ale x 1 Grill plate x 1 Mango lassi x 1 = €34 (This photo of rice and nan bread is for 4 people)

Cozy, clean and (finally) soundproof. The food was plentiful and very tasteful. Competent, friendly service, sometimes has time for a short conversation. You feel comfortable here and will be happy to come back.

Extremely good service and really tasty food. It was my first time there and I never regretted the decision. In terms of price, everything is also completely reasonable. I'll definitely come back

Without reservation, came spontaneously, as a couple. It was very well attended. Very friendly staff found a table with the friendly note that it would only be available until 7 p.m. Sufficient for us. Food very tasty, cozy atmosphere.

Absolutely extra class! The food was great, the service was great and the atmosphere was pleasantly warm and familiar.

Very tasty food. Spicy was really spicy :) if you're wondering whether it's too spicy... love switching it down a gear. Authentic cuisine. The service was friendly, alert and very available.

Very friendly service staff, the restaurant has a great ambience. The dishes are delicious and very stylishly prepared. Always my pleasure

Very good food, wishes are taken into account. Very friendly staff. You can definitely eat out here more often. Prices are reasonable.

Super nice service, moderate prices and excellent food. If you order spicy, you will get really spicy food!

It was a wonderful experience eating in Ayana . It was like home away from home experience . Try took special care to ensure tasty food

Without exception 5 stars! The welcome was very warm and the allocation of the table, despite reservations, had a personal touch! The ambience is very appealing and not loud despite the good attendance! Everyone seemed to have their own place in the team. The processes followed pleasantly fluently with a pronounced politeness. The selection of dishes is not exaggerated and leaves nothing to be desired! The food came without a long wait and the dishes were lovingly and traditionally prepared. We were able to enjoy the excellent quality of the food, especially the speciality, the lamb! We'll definitely be back!!!

Damn delicious food, can especially recommend the chickpea curry and naan bread. You can always order rice for free if there is not enough. Curry cannot get cold either because it is constantly heated in a small pot using a tea light. You have to budget €20-30 per person, but this experience is worth it. Also nice waiters and nice atmosphere. A real gem in manageable Erkelenz.

Delicious food but relatively expensive

I was greeted by a very unfriendly man and told me that I had to leave the restaurant despite it being within opening hours. He didn't want to answer further questions and told me to leave the restaurant.

Very tasty food in a great atmosphere and very friendly service.

full 5 stars in all areas, thank you for a lovely evening with great service, delicious food in a lovely atmosphere, keep it up 5*

We went to this Indian restaurant for the first time with friends. Have eaten Indian food several times in other cities. Ayana-Erkelenz “trumps” all the Indian restaurants we have visited so far 👍 The food is top class and also very attractively prepared (after all, the eye eats too 😉) Every guest will find what they are looking for in the relatively large menu 👍 and the price-performance ratio is very good 👍 The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful 👌 We would love to come back soon 👍

We were there last night for the first but not the last time. The food, service and ambience were perfect for us.

Good food with good and friendly service.

Very, very, very tasty food! Great selection, even for vegetarians. Very nice service. Nice ambience.

Sehr zu empfehlen, zuvorkommender Service, tolle Zimmer , sowohl Frühstück, als auch das Abendessen ist sehr zu empfehlen

The food was very tasty. Nicely seasoned and very juicy. Clear recommendation.

The best Indian restaurant you could wish for... we are already addicted to it and love the friendly service... our tip... dish 33 and dish 49 spicy... we love it.

Very good food, fresh ingredients and authentic cuisine. Attentive service. The increased volume is sometimes disturbing when almost all the tables are occupied.

We have been there several times now and always feel very comfortable. The food was a pleasure. The portions are completely okay for the price. Very great atmosphere and super friendly staff. Every now and then there was a greeting from the kitchen for dessert to try. Definitely the best restaurant in Erkelenz and highly recommended. We would love to come back.

Nice ambience, delicious food and very nice service. We'll be back😊

Everything was perfect, it certainly wasn't the last time I was there. Top

Super delicious food. Service was very friendly. We'll definitely be back!

Unfortunately, I cannot confirm the positive reviews from Google. After we waited half an hour to receive the menu, it took 1 hour to prepare the starter and 2 hours for the main course. Everything was ordered at the same time because we were already totally frustrated that we had to wait so long for the card. The waiters walked around the restaurant with blinders on, when our drinks were empty (due to the horrific wait for the food) reordering was a challenge in itself. Neither waving nor other gestures were noticed and even a direct address was ignored by the waiter. The food that finally came after 2 hours was even the wrong one for one person and the portion size was absolutely subpar. None of us were even remotely full and the taste was “okay” at best. The €190 bill for 5 people topped it all off. This will definitely be the only visit to the restaurant. At least you could spend the evening warmly complaining about the service with the people sitting next to you, we weren't alone with our problems.

We were there for the first time yesterday, among us neighbors (friends), because we wanted to try something special and unknown. Our expectations were exceeded. Great ambience, great food from starters to dessert. Great staff, super friendly, humorous (greetings to the man the women trust ;) :) we were thrilled and will definitely come again. Thank you for the great culinary journey through Indian cuisine. Namaste ❤🇮🇳❤

I drove from Düsseldorf to Erkelenz specifically to be able to eat with friends at this fantastic Indian restaurant. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, the staff are very friendly, the food was well prepared and tasted exactly how I wanted it. Very high quality authentic Indian cuisine. My Indian friends are also absolutely thrilled with the Ayana. I have never found such a good Indian restaurant in Düsseldorf.

Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich und professionell, das Restaurant ist schön eingerichtet (was man auf dem Foto hier nicht mal im Ansatz erkennt) , das Essen ist SEHR gut ...aber ... ich finde es NICHT wirklich typisch indisch. Es ist eine europäisch entschärfte Küche ... Was Granaten-leckere ist, ist das Naan-Brot, vor allem das mit Knoblauch. Den einen Punkt Abzug gibt es für die "entschärfte" Variante ... und die gewisse Eintönigkeit von 4 Geschmacksvarianten, die auf alle Gerichte angewendet werden *lach*. Was aber wirklich nur auffällt, wenn man da (wie wir) relativ oft essen geht.

Very good service, very tasty food. Always happy here!

Very tasty food, highly recommended. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Very good Indian restaurant with very tasty food. It looked and tasted so good that I didn't manage to take pictures. Next Time -> Update: Went there again on 8/21/24 and ate tandoori chicken and managed to take a picture. It was delicious. Thank you so much, keep it up

A very tasty restaurant in a nice atmosphere. A very good address for lovers of Indian cuisine. The service is courteous and very nice… we'll be happy to come back - we're looking forward to it. 👍

Top restaurant in Erkelenz. The service was super friendly and great service.

Delicious food, a little too salty for me personally but still tasty. Service is great. Sympathetic, funny, friendly and also attentive and quick. Ambiance is very nice, only a bit noisy due to the open design at Full House. But all in all a very good restaurant. Everything fits, I'll definitely come back.

Very nice and courteous service, even joking! Generous portions 👍🏻 highly recommended!

The food is fantastic and I can hardly think of a restaurant where the service is more attentive and friendly. Any wishes regarding the food are catered for and the homemade lemonades and iced teas are also a clear recommendation. Always my pleasure!

Very pleasant atmosphere, super friendly and attentive staff. Not at all intrusive or disturbing. The service was very accommodating, with great tips about the food. All the recommendations were fantastic and of excellent quality. There were four of us and we were all recommended something different and tried it among ourselves, everyone was thrilled. Always happy

The service is very friendly, fast and attentive. The food was always tasty. Price-performance ratio is okay.

Great food, very friendly and strikingly cheerful staff and a beautiful location. A real highlight.

Very friendly, great food, always happy

On our second visit it was again nice all around... great ambience, good value for money and most importantly: really tasty food in a good portion size! Happy to come back!!

Great food, great service. Really authentic Indian cuisine that also serves "very spicy" if you order it. I usually experienced it differently. Definitely we'll come back

Great, friendly service Super beautifully presented dishes Delicious food

Wow, wow, wow 😮 Indian cuisine at its best. We have been there several times with the whole family and can recommend the restaurant 100%! The service is great and so is the food… We always enjoy coming back 🫶

Finally found a really good Indian restaurant. Food, staff and ambience perfect!

We were there for the first time today and absolutely loved it. From the starter to the dessert, our expectations were more than exceeded. I was actually speechless for a long time because of the quality of the food and the hospitality of the staff. We will definitely visit this restaurant more often because it is much more than just a “recommendation”. Many thanks to the innkeeper, his kitchen and his service staff.

We have been to Ayana a few times and have always been very happy with the food and service. The waiters were always very nice and helpful, and the food was always delicious. The portions are very generous! We can only recommend Ayana 😄

Very tasty food and friendly service, great for vegetarians too!

It was our first time there and we are not connoisseurs of Indian cuisine. We were given very nice advice so that we got good food that wasn't too spicy. First there were appetizers that were recommended to us and we were thrilled. The main courses continued to our satisfaction. Finally, a good espresso, served in nicely preheated cups. We will definitely come back and explore the Indian cuisine further.

Very tasty food and great ambience!

Moments of happiness!!! Really great interior. You feel comfortable as soon as you enter the restaurant. Incredibly nice service staff and the food, simply a pleasure. We would love to come back and will definitely recommend them to others. Thank you very much

Vorab, auf der Suche nach einem indischen Restaurant in der Region (Heinsberg) sind wir auf das Ayana in Erkelenz gestoßen, dass ich wie immer in kurzen Worten bewerten möchte: Location: 5/5 Ambiete: 4/5 (sehr modern) Service: 5/5 (eigentlich 6/5) Speisen: 4/5 Getränke: 4/5 Preis- Leistung: 4/5 Kurzum: Hervorragendes indisches Essen in moderner Atmosphäre mit gemütlichem Außenbereich. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

a super authentic Indian restaurant! We recommend. The food was great as was the service. would love to come back 👍

Very friendly staff and the food is amazing 😋😋

It was really fantastic. We had a wonderful evening with incredibly delicious food and great service. Definitely coming back!

Very courteous staff, you immediately feel welcome. The food was very tasty and the spicy sauce we ordered was also great. We'd love to come back.

We were there again today and the positive impression was confirmed again. The staff was very friendly, nice rooms and the food was again very tasty. I've already tried several dishes, just something different and always delicious :-)

It was our first time there and we were thrilled. Very tasty food. Fast and good service.

Went there for the first time today. Certainly not for the last time. Big recommendation. Lovely service, great ambience and heavenly delicious food ❤️ lovely vegetarian and vegan selection

Great experience! Very good meal and excellent service Recommended with your eyes closed if you want to eat in a good Indian restaurant!

Very good Indian. The waiters are very friendly and quick. Food tastes very good. It never takes long for the food to be served.

Very tasty and friendly service

We had dinner there. Reserved table was available immediately. We were always served quickly and our needs were addressed very attentively but not intrusively. Service was therefore very good. But the best is yet to come. The food!! It's just awesome. I had the Indian Grill Platter with lamb and chicken and ordered it “spicy”. That's how it was delivered. The normal citizen would probably have dropped dead. But I can tolerate it very spicy and I enjoyed it very much. The first bite threw me off a bit because I wasn't expecting it to be so spicy, but it was absolutely delicious. The samosa as a starter was also great and the cheese naan and the classic naan were very tasty. Summarized. YUMMY!!! 😀 I can recommend this restaurant without hesitation. When it comes to spiciness, you just have to be careful and express your wishes. But that's definitely not a problem. My wife's food was mild and also very tasty.

Today I ate here for the first time with my loved one and it tasted very, very good!!

You can have a good meal there. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. It is kept very clean. The food comes quickly and tastes good. The price is within normal limits. Pre-booking a table would be an advantage. Always my pleasure.

It was our first time there and I can say such a great restaurant with super friendly staff. The food was really delicious 😋 We'll be back soon

Very authentic, really recommended!

New restaurant in Erkelenz. Indian cuisine - something completely different. Communication with the service staff was a bit difficult. However, a “spicy” dish should be served “mild”. This was also promised when ordering. Unfortunately it was served spicy. Immediate exchange after the complaint! Perfect! All in all: good service and delicious food. Absolutely recommended, including a reservation.

Sehr gutes Restaurant, waren am 07.04.2024 dort. Schon bemerkenswert das dieses Restaurant an einen normalen Wochentag so gut besucht war. Aber das hat auch seinen Grund. Service 1A, Speisen, jeder sollte für sich entscheiden, welches Gericht er essen möchte. Meine positive Erfahrung, jeder zeit wieder. Bestellte Gerichte wie gewünscht, alles bestens.

Useless everything..very disrespectful people...most of the 5 star reviews are fake.
