Ganesha Indisches Restaurant in Köln seit 1987 in Köln

Went 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

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!

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

Great food, will definitely come back

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

Very good service & traditional Indian food! Clear recommendation

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.

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.

It's very tasty and the prices are great

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Great food and very attentive service!

Very tasty food and very good friendly service.

Good food, nice service It was a very nice evening

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!

The food was perfect and also the perfect spiciness, we'll be back! ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳

The restaurant is filled with pretty good pictures and decorations from India, the atmosphere was pretty calm and the food was on point (Not mind blowing as well as no point to complain on anything ), tasted pretty good, the staff were also pretty good, would definitely recommend this restaurant for someone looking to get Indian food

Mega delicious food at really good prices. Super friendly and personable service, almost like our regular place when we go into the city. Always nice to be there again, see you soon dear Ganesha team! Reservation recommended ☝️

Was very tasty, hygienic and nice conditions

I can't complain about delicious food and delicious drinks

Were here today with our friends and were warmly welcomed. Price performance is also absolutely reasonable and the food tastes authentic. Absolute recommendation

Very tasty food and nice service. Only recommended.

Very tasty food and the service is great. Gladly again

Delicious food and good service

Food very tasty, great starters. Nice service. Lovely again!

Good value for money, very tasty. Great service, especially the owner is super friendly and funny.

Delicious food and friendly service!

Very good food, after the starter the weighter asked if we thought it was spicy, we both smiled and said, we only register sweetness, we gave it 0/7 spice scale. You can guess how the main dish was, we loved it, finally a restaurant that offers the authentic taste. Great food, funny and friendly waiters, great price.

We were here again today and, as always, very satisfied. The prices are moderate, the food is delicious and the service is very friendly and accommodating. Despite being Monday, it was quite busy today, which is why I recommend making a reservation.

The food was very tasty. Only recommended. Gladly again 😋

Very good service and delicious food.

Went there spontaneously for dinner without a reservation. Very nice staff and very attentive. The food was brought to the table quickly and tasted really good. Definitely one of the best Indians in all of Cologne.

I visited this place with my family and we had a great experience. The food is awesome, service is exceptional and the atmosphere is amazing. Must try in the town :)

I came here today with my family and I ordered butter chicken and that was the best butter chicken ever.I would recommend everybody to come here.

Just finished eating here. We had diner here with a group of 11. Warm welcome and you can already smell the nice flavours when you enter the restaurant. Service also excellent, but most important the was the food is amazing. We will come here again when we visit köln Thank you!!

Best Indian restaurant in Cologne!

It is worthwhile visiting this restaurant

Very tasty authentic food with friendly staff

Very nice staff and delicious food

A very nice local, the food tastes really good! I can only recommend!

There were nine of us at Ganesha today. In addition to the fact that the waitress really knew all the dishes on the menu including the corresponding number by heart, the food was extremely tasty and the service was super fast and friendly. Overall a very successful evening.

The restaurant is very close to Rudolfplatz (U), parking garage can be used under the hotel. We celebrated our wedding anniversary with 4 adults and 4 children. The menus have something for everyone. The prawns are very good and not spicy. Unfortunately the lamb was tough, but the sauce was delicious with the rice. Overall, well seasoned Indian. Although the restaurant is in the basement, it has been very warm now in summer, the interior is made of dark wood with wall paneling and carpets with Vishnu and Ganesha.

Best Indian restaurant in town!

The best Indian place I've eaten at so far. Super tasty and great service - always happy! 🙏

Delicious Indian food! Nice staff, and nice quiet atmosphere.

Best Indian in Cologne, super nice staff 👍

Great shop, very tasty naan and great chicken. Gladly again!

Very good place for lunch, no pre-made mixes, extremely tasty naan in several variations. The restaurant has been around for a long time, haven't been here in ages, but will now come regularly. Very good price-performance ratio.

We ate there two days in a row and despite our language barrier the staff was very patient and very understanding, gave lots of directions to help us, plus the dishes were excellent, go there without hesitation!

The food was very tasty and the price was also very reasonable. The service was very nice and funny. Can be recommended.

Very good Indian atmosphere. Food quality and taste are excellent. The host is very welcoming and cordial. Must visit if you are in Cologne and looking for Indian cuisine.

Great Indian restaurant. Nice and quick service. Recommended restaurant for "Simple and good restaurant. To just go out to eat and not have any ideas."
