Ganesha Indisches Restaurant in Köln seit 1987 in Köln

Super delicious food and very nice service!

The best Indian in Cologne. Super delicious food and nice service ❤️

Best Indian restaurant in Cologne!!! Very good, fine, local dishes, very friendly service and a very nice ambience. The prices are absolutely real.

Nice little one near Rudolfplatz. Very cheap lunch specials around €10.

Delicious authentic food and nice waiters

A nice new experience that I was able to have in Cologne. The staff was extremely friendly and receptive to any questions I had about the food. I really enjoyed the food, as you would imagine good Indian food to be. The recommendation to visit came from a good friend who also had very good experiences with Ganesha. I will definitely come back. In any case, for me Ganesha is one of the best addresses I know of in the Cologne city center district!

Very tasty dishes, friendly service, unfortunately very loud and crowded, which meant you had to wait longer for the food

Very tasty food and cozy atmosphere!

Very friendly and humorous service. The food tastes delicious and fresh Always my pleasure

10/10, the waiters were so nice and funny and the food tasted great!

Went there without expectations and wasn't disappointed, great food!

Super delicious food and perfect service! Absolute recommendation :)

Food was okayish, the staff was quite dismissive and unfriendly

Freshly cooked, very tasty, every (special) wish is fulfilled.

Were very tasty meals. Nice staff and a nice facility. A real must for every connoisseur!!!

The waiter is the menu personified, he knows everything by heart. The food was amazing!! Very authentic, aromatic, spicy and delicious! The best Indian in Cologne.

Authentic Indian restaurant. Large selection and even several vegan dishes, which always makes me very happy! Everything was super tasty. Staff very friendly and totally accommodating. Clear recommendation! We'll definitely be back soon :-)

Here is your Google Maps rating based on your answers: I was completely impressed by the Ganesha restaurant in Cologne! The food was absolutely top class - every dish tasted outstanding. Particularly noteworthy is the Mango Lassi, a real highlight! Despite the full house, the service was extremely courteous and attentive. The ambience is rustic but very cozy, and the noise level remained pleasant. The decor fits well with the style of the restaurant. The price-performance ratio is also good – completely appropriate for the quality offered. I can fully recommend Ganesha and will definitely come back!

Super tasty, meat (both chicken and lamb) super tender, very flavorful!

The place is well taken care of, nothing spectacular but pretty. The waiters are lovely, super fast and super friendly, very pleasant. We ordered the garlic bread as a starter and although it was good, it was small. Then we ordered a plate of chicken with rice each, and it was good but nothing out of this world...the buttee one was better than the coconut one in my opinion, but they are not huge portions for the price. We liked it but not to return

Most authentic Indian in Cologne

Very tasty food and super friendly service

Absolutely solid Indian restaurant with no stomach aches, both figuratively and actually. Recommendation from me.

The food tasted very good and was enough. A bit spicy, as I expect and appreciate with Indian food. The prices are okay and match the service offered. There is still room for improvement in the ambience and table design. Conclusion: clear recommendation, I would come back.

Super nice staff and also very tasty food and the price is also good

Always great so far. Delicious food and friendly service

Super tasty and very nice service!

Came spontaneously with 6 people. Service very funny and attentive. We'd love to come back. !

Very good! Definitely to repeat! Everything is exquisite, if you ask them to be a little spicy they respect it perfectly. Fast, pleasant and very very good food

A great experience, both the treatment, the service, the food and the atmosphere

Everything great! The food tastes very tasty! And the service is also very nice! We'd love to come back. 😊

Very nice evening with friendly, attentive service, would love to come back. Food was very good, both starters and main courses!

Very good food, good ambience and above all very friendly staff. I really enjoy coming here with the family.

The food was very tasty. The service was very friendly. At Christmas they even gave me a Christmas present when I wished them a happy holiday. What warm people. Can be recommended 100 percent. Thanks

A wonderful, friendly place that makes you feel at home and welcome from the minute you greet Ganpati at the entrance. I recommend the vegetarian Thali and starter plate, it saved Christmas this year.

The food is super delicious. The employees are all extremely nice, totally funny and entertaining. Plus, they are super attentive. Absolute recommendation. We've been here many times.

Very nice staff with delicious food. We would come again.

I ordered through Wolt. The main course was delicious, but unfortunately the raita sauce was no longer good. It tasted very bitter and was definitely no longer edible. When I told them over the phone, I was told that no one else had complained and that this couldn't be the case. Will not order there again.

Were here with 6 people. Reserved in advance. Good thing, because the restaurant was quickly busy, even during the week. The food was delicious, but the Knobi Naan didn't have enough garlic on it. But overall you can recommend the Ganesha.

Authentic Indian food. Service could be more attentive. Dal had a disappointing taste and curry dishes were freshly made, hot and tasty.

A very diverse menu, so we almost couldn't decide. In the end, everything we ordered tasted delicious. The food tastes very authentic 😋

The food at the Ganesha Indian Restaurant was delicious. The ambience, the service and the food were worth every visit. I would definitely recommend it.

Friendly staff and delicious food. Only those who are used to really spicy food should order spicy.

Worth a visit! Everything all around perfect. Both service and food were very good. I'll be back. Thanks :)

Wonderful food, always happy to come back!!!

I've been eating here with family and friends for years and I'm always happy about the friendly service :)

Very tasty and authentic Indian food

Authentic Indian food, good prices.

Sometime is food is not upto mark then it can be adjusted but the staff was unfriendly and do not know how to speak and cook

Delicious food, with very nice and caring service. Can only be recommended!

There were 2 of us there today. Food was terrible, no spices at all, tasted like nothing, served cold. Unfriendly staff, they didn't even ask how the food was, they waited a long time until we could order. Table wasn't clean when we arrived, and still wasn't clean by the time we left. Never again!

Great food, will definitely come back

A very nice service, the food was delicious and, above all, very tasty rice!

It was my first time at the restaurant, and I didn’t enjoy it. I wouldn’t recommend the vegetable biryani—it was mostly rice with barely any vegetables. The menu said it included cottage cheese (panner), but I only found one tiny piece. Initially I thought the cook might have forgotten so I asked the waiter, and he told me that only one piece is standard. Coming from India, I know vegetable biryani usually has more vegetables and few cottage cheese pieces, so this was disappointing. This message is just a heads-up to save your money.

Very good service & traditional Indian food! Clear recommendation

Everything was very tasty and the staff was very nice!

Very friendly restaurant. The food was really tasty and the service left nothing to be desired.

After a long time we were guests at Ganesha again. There is a pleasant atmosphere. To the sounds of Indian music, looked after by an attentive, courteous and friendly waiter, you can enjoy delicious authentic Indian food with a delicious Kingfisher. We really enjoyed this evening and have decided to come back to this hospitable place more often.

Very generous service, pleasant atmosphere and delicious food, thank you and see you soon.:)

Very tasty food, nice service staff and a cozy, authentic atmosphere!

Service was very good. The food tastes very good. It's a bit cramped and stuffy.

Delicious food. Amazing hospitality, Uncle is super sweet & nice….100% recommended.

It's very tasty and the prices are great

Absolute favorite restaurant for 20 years🙏🏻❤️Beware of “the red sauce!” - I would miss something if I wasn’t warned about it every time🤣

I am super happy with my visit, the food was incredibly tasty, especially the authentic Indian spices exceeded my expectations. The service was friendly and attentive, and the ambience created a relaxed atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!❤️🇮🇳

Great food, great service!!! 👍🏼

The waiter is great, took all of our orders and then asked certain questions (prefer rice, naan, etc.), he does a great job!! The food is even better, there were 5 of us, we were all full and only paid just over €140! Gladly again :) Thank you for the lovely birthday

Very tasty authentic Indian food. at reasonable prices. An institution in Cologne for decades.

Today I had dinner there with a friend. The food was really tasty and the staff was very welcoming. One thing I didn't like was the air inside. For this reason I give one star less. The restaurant absolutely needs passive ventilation and fresh air can be allowed in (open the windows or separate the cooking area from the eating area. There is even a curtain on the entrance door that prevents the air from flowing in.

I recently visited Ganesha restaurant and had a mixed experience. The bhindi masala and dal makhani were just okay - flavorful but nothing extraordinary. On the other hand, the butter naan was fantastic! It was soft, warm, and complemented the dishes perfectly. Unfortunately, the tea was a letdown; it tasted bland and didn't have the robust flavor I was hoping for. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, but I’d recommend sticking to the naan and skipping the tea.

Very tasty food and very good friendly service.

Authentic food, in a simple atmosphere and very friendly service! We'll definitely be back!

Great food and very attentive service!

Good food, nice service It was a very nice evening

I went there twice. The first time, the food was amazing, the people were nice, and they allowed us to pay with a card. The second time was the opposite—the food was still good, but the staff weren’t as friendly. We asked to pay with a card (since we had paid with a card the last time, and they also had a sticker on the door indicating they accept card payments), but they said they only accepted cash, so we had to go to an ATM to withdraw money. My original review was 5 stars, but I’m now editing it to 3

Indian food is excellent here. Would love to come back

The food and service were very good 👍

Food was a bit bland and the portions were manageable.

Everything perfect from front to back!

Very good chicken tandori! No cheap meat, slightly spicy and great grill aroma! Gladly again and again. Garlic naan also fire!

Very great shop. The food tastes really delicious and the waiter is very friendly and funny.

Great evening, great food, friendly service

Very tasty food, traditional cuisine and very nice service. In my opinion the best Indian in Cologne.

Always delicious. In my opinion the best Indian restaurant. We promise we'll be back

A very good and tasty Indian who has been providing the people of Cologne with delicious Indian food for decades. The service is friendly and polite. Been there several times and will go again.

Tastes very good one of the best Indian restaurants in Germany. Price performance also good

It was very, very tasty and came quickly. The service was friendly and funny!

Was there during Gamescom and took the record for three. Super large portions, very tasty food and extremely reasonable prices. Can only be recommended.

Very tasty Indian food! Inexpensive and varied. We had different dishes and everyone enjoyed it. Would love to come back.

Great food, and great staff! Tasted good.

Great Indian food! Best in Cologne

Food came quickly, was tasty, good portions

Super nice team and the food was also very good. 👍

Very tasty and great service from Singh. A recommendation!

Worst ever experience we faced here. Service and atmosphere is average but food especially south indian dishes we have never tasted such a worst mutton and chicken biriani..paying above 15€ for biriani we expect atleast a minimum level of quality and quantity wise its not enough for a small kid..really disappointed as we expected to have a good dinner in Germany.

I’m genuinely puzzled as to how this hotel has a 4-star rating. We ordered both mutton curry and biryani, and both dishes were extremely disappointing. The mutton curry was flavorless, with the mutton pieces clearly just boiled and tossed into a pre-made curry . It lacked any depth or richness that you’d expect from a well-prepared dish. The biryani was no better—it didn’t have the authentic biryani flavor and tasted like some other rice dish entirely. For a hotel with such a high rating, this experience was a huge letdown. We were left feeling very disappointed and unsatisfied.

You won’t find good Indian food here. The biryani is often dry and lacks flavor, with rice that’s either overcooked or undercooked. The mutton curry is just boiled meat mixed with pre-made spices, lacking the rich taste a proper mutton curry should have, and the same goes for the chicken curry. If they consistently serve this kind of food, the 4.7-star reviews are likely either fake or manipulated

delicious food, exceptionally good seasonings, good portions, extremely fast, good & humorous service <3 again at any time!

Very very authentic. Just not quite as spicy as in India😉

Without question, the BEST and most authentic Indian restaurant in North Rhine-Westphalia, at least in Cologne. We have been customers here for almost 20 years and have never been disappointed!
