Ginti and More Bar & Restaurant in Köln

Great place and ambience to be at for dinner

Best in class !!!! Must visit for the taste and flavour

Went there with a larger group with a reservation. Some of us waited 40 minutes for our first drinks, and others hadn't had their drink yet when we paid. Ordered starters and main courses, everything came at once or not at all. We reminded ourselves several times that both the drinks and the food were rudely made to wait. The food was very, very tasty. Unfortunately the entire organization was a complete disaster.

The restaurant is very modern and the staff is friendly. We were welcomed by the boss and shown to our table. The food was very good, but as a sensitive person you should pay attention to the spices and level of spiciness ;) There is a large selection of vegetarian/vegan dishes. If you want to enjoy a nice evening and get to know Indian cuisine, you've come to the right place!

Despite having a reservation, we were seated on the terrace in late October. We ordered the VIP 3-course menu and then had to wait an hour for the first course and then another hour for the second one. After asking twice, we decided not to have dessert. During the waiting time, not even a waiter came by, so you couldn't order any drinks. The food isn't bad but it's not worth the price or the wait.

A table was ordered in advance. They came on time. BUT! We waited 90 minutes for our order! After they (still) brought it, it turned out that not all the dishes were ready and there would be no more of them... The service was terrible, the waiters came up during the meal and unambiguously asked when we could leave them)))) it was time 21.00, the restaurant is full of people, we just started eating))) P.S. at the beginning, they put dishes on us that had the remains of the previous meal (it didn't work in the dishwasher), and the waiter couldn't find anything better than to scrape off this dirt with his fingernails! This is not a service. Very loud, plates and cutlery are collected very loudly... We will never come to this restaurant again!

- Long waiting time at the entrance to the restaurant despite a reservation. - the restaurant was so full that there was only one free seat outside. - The food was served to us relatively quickly, but tasted rather average for the price. Not authentically Indian and not very sophisticated. We noticed that other guests waited 30 minutes for two beers and 3 hours for the main course. - the cola was not carbonated - visually beautiful ambience, but due to the overwhelmed staff there were a lot of complaints and therefore a tense atmosphere - Long waiting times until you can order something - Long queues to pay - the rice was charged extra, which we can hardly understand given the price of over €22 per dish - Instead of sitting at the table, the boss billed the guests personally at the checkout. Despite everything, we paid the usual 10% tip and then didn't hear a thank you or goodbye. That gave us another bad feeling. And we regretted paying a tip under the circumstances Overall a rather disappointing experience. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is not right here. As an entrepreneur myself, I can understand the challenge from a business perspective. However, I cannot understand how the situation was handled! I didn't have the feeling that my feedback was taken seriously and in a challenging situation, in my opinion, as a boss you have to take responsibility, communicate more and lead by example. Unfortunately, that was obviously not the case at Ginti and More in Cologne this evening. In the hope that it was a bad day and knowing how important good reviews are, we are giving it 3 stars with good will.

Very chaotic. The service and boss were totally overwhelmed and disorganized. We got the food quickly but the drinks didn't and we had to order them several times. Also when we wanted to pay we had to wait at the entrance to pay at the cash register (instead of at the table) and then we were forced to pay in cash even though they had card terminals. It's actually a shame, apart from the service everything would have been fine.

Extremely unfriendly. Really a shame. Nobody asked for the name (we had a reservation) and we were just waved outside. The boss was on the phone during this time. Another employee then wanted to sit us at a tiny table in the passage outside (with the door open). We asked again in a friendly manner whether we could go to one of the other tables for two, which were all free, and also pointed out again that we had reserved. The reservation system seems only proforma. We left because of the rudeness. Everyone seemed very rushed even though we were so early.

Very disappointed. Food is reasonably tasty. Staff is a disaster. The two of us ordered a course menu. We had to wait 1 1/2 hours for our food. I was told 4 times that there was a drink in the menu and still didn't get it.

Indians could cook well. But completely overwhelmed on a Saturday evening. The food takes forever. The drinks don't even come. Ordered three times but nothing or only some of it came to the table. For me Ginti is not a recommendation

Despite the reservation, the impression was chaotic, we waited a long time for food, dessert came before the main course, drinks didn't come at all, the boss only wanted cash. Food was OK.

Chaos and only chaos. We waited 1½ hours for the food. The food was OK but nothing special. Expensive.

Waited 90 minutes only to be told that there wasn't one more thing I ordered and that I would have to pay extra for something I didn't even buy. We also sat in a place where people wrote to each other (staff) and the evening became unpleasant for us. I could swear my menu (Vintoloo) said lamb, chicken, prawns with potatoes. I had to choose one and got a maximum of 4 shrimp.

Food was delicious amazing service as well ☺️💖 Space outside is also nice when the weather is good

Great food, great ambience and first-class service

Amazing food and outstanding service! And you need to try the mango lassi! 🥭 #kundenzufansmachen

Amazing food and service. Authentic tasty Indian food.

Incredibly delicious, perfect for large groups!!

The waiter was overzealous, came what felt like one, three and five minutes after we were there and wanted to take the order, which put us under pressure. The somewhat greasy menu, which had been through many hands, was on the freshly prepared plate upon arrival. Unfortunately the food didn't taste good, the European spicy turned into a fire-breathing spicy, the curry tasted like too much of a spice unknown to our palate. The gentleman at the checkout was friendly, as were the staff who cleared away.

Authentic indian cuisine with excellent service! We were pleasantly surprised with the variety of succulent appetizers like tandoori chicken, fish pakoras and lamb preparation. Went for fresh fried prawns pakoda and what refreshing taste, the kee.a Naan is wonderful, the nalli nihari is the obviously thr showstopper! The ginti grilled platter is a definite must try. We were happily welcomed with papdi chat as a complimentary appetizer with amazing burst of flavors, and were eventually delighted with complimentary mango Lassi as a cherry on the top of a fabulous dinner. The other division of the same restaurant and their staff is well mannered and were given proper recommendations by Pappu Seth and well greeted by everyone in Ginti! Do try when in Cologne.

Incredible service, me and my partner went out to eat and had a really nice time because we also had a very, very good meal for a man and a little bit, but that doesn't matter, we also had a really cool discount from the personal chef got it and I can really warmly recommend every shop to you. Open kitchen. Incredible atmosphere, really great place, I can recommend it to anyone who really wants to enjoy togetherness with their partner.

Not good service. Bad experience

Authentic Indian food with customizable spice options! The variety of curries to choose from is drool worthy, Ginti grill platter is a must try, papdi chat is a great appetizer, amongst others. Tandoori chicken 🐔 is a definite to go, the prawns and fish options are equally startling. Definitely recommended!

Not recommended. Waited 2.5 hours and didn't get any food.

Good restaurant for its cuisine... On the other hand, if you are a tourist, move on! They took away our glasses of water because we didn't order drinks... They force us to pay by cash when there are clearly 2 VSEs walking in front of us...

Upscale Indian restaurant. The food was very tasty and the service was courteous.

If you are a tourist, you’re not welcome. The host turned his back when we arrived, and I had to look for him to get a table. The waiter didn’t speak to us during the entire meal. The dishes were delicious, but we received only a small bowl of rice for three people. It could have ended there, but the waiter insisted on being paid in cash, claiming the card machines didn’t work. If you read the comments, you’ll see that they’ve done the same thing to many tourists.

Hmmm. I would say at the moment the place is just hip and overpriced. Our visit: Nicely decorated restaurant. The service only wanted to speak English when ordering. Hey, we are in Cologne. Ordering had to go quickly. The service was kind of rushed. This felt uncomfortable. I had chicken (skewer with 5 pieces of meat) tikka masala. Extra sauce. Sauce contained fresh peppers but other than that I personally didn't taste anything fresh about the sauce. My wife had the same meal with lamb. Contents 3 pieces of meat. All in all for 77.50 euros we enjoyed Indian cuisine better elsewhere. Hand on heart, I don't have to go there a second time.

Waited over an hour and a half for my ordered food. We were announced 30-50 minutes Never again! In the photo there is a portion of mango chicken for over 25(!) euros. Price-performance inadequate.

I had a great experience at Ginti. The ambience was nice, roomali roti was soft, and the paneer butter masala was fresh and tasty. The bindi kurkure was the highlight—absolutely fantastic! Recommend this restaurant when in Cologne😊

Had naan, lentil soup, chicken tikka masala and a lamb curry. Naan was great, lentil soup lacked a lot of salt, but otherwise tasted okay. Chicken Tikka was really good. The lamb was even slightly better

The food was excellent - the best Indian food we have eaten in Cologne so far. Both the starters and the main courses were very tasty. The service can be expanded. The waiters were friendly, but some things were forgotten.

The food tasted good but the quantity was a disgrace. 3 pieces of meat with some sauce €13.5. When we asked, we were told that there was rice. When the bill came, the rice was charged at €4.5. Personally, I find paying €18 for a small portion of rice with chicken curry very expensive, especially when the price is not visible on the menu.

Beautiful and comfy Indian restaurant. All of our food was yummy.

We reserved a table for 3 people and they wanted us to sit at a table for 6 with people already sitting there even though half the restaurant was empty. The food was ok at best with the chicken tikka masala for example being just a little more spicy korma. The starters were horrendous, with them already running out of one the options at 18:30 on a friday night. The nan bread was very good however and freshly made in house. If you want to eat indian food then Karma sutra near Barbarossaplatz is much much better

Very tasty and great service! I'll be back!👍🏻

Unfortunately overpriced, for the small sauce for pampadam 2x 3.90 ??? should be included. Service didn't know what he was bringing, his thumb was in the sauce. Naan bread partly cold. It was cold in the restaurant, you had to sit there with a jacket.

I've been going there for almost a year now whenever I want to enjoy restaurant food like in my hometown and they have never disappointed me. I am an Indian who can say that they have the best street food and even the main dishes are really authentic. Chole Puri and Padi Chat from the street food menu are simply divine and to die for. Ginti & more-Keep it up!

Phew where to start. The shop itself is very nicely done with an open kitchen and a nice ambience. In certain areas, the tables are placed so close together that you as a guest cannot stand up and the waiters reach over half the table/plate. The service staff seem very disorganized and chaotic. There was no order whatsoever in clearing up, serving or serving. But what bothered me most was the price-performance ratio. That has no connection at all. A main course (butter chicken) costs €23 with just rice. It contains 6 pieces of chicken. If you want naan with it you have to order it separately. 3 small slices of naan for 4.90!! Sorry doesn't work at all for me. The food was lukewarm and when we said it should be warmed up there was a discussion in the kitchen. There were no levels of spiciness or anything similar noted on the menu, which is why we were a bit shocked by the spiciness. With drinks (soft drink) and shared starter it was €37-40 per person.

Very tasty food and great service!

Saw the website and was immediately excited about this store! Reserved a table and waited for the appointment. Arrival at the store, loud as if at the train station, reservation apparently didn't help and wasn't noted. Meanwhile, I checked to see if I had any shit stuck to my shoe, as there was an eerie smell wafting through the store, nothing wrong...well, I just kept waiting for a free space. Starters were really tasty, but the main course was just absolutely boring and tasteless, that can happen. But I've actually never experienced such disorganized service...nor the constant disgusting smell of poop or full diapers that wafted through the store and didn't get any better. Too bad.

I was there for the first time with my best friend and her mother. We celebrated our birthday there and we found the restaurant very nice and the ambience inside was very nice and the food was very tasty I can highly recommend the restaurant.

The chicken tikka masala was disgusting and too spicy. I will never go back there again 🥵

Very tasty food, nice service and nice ambience

Good find, tasty Indian food. Went there during lunch and the portions were big. Paneer pakora and garlic naan was really good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I absolutely loved my visit! The friendliness of the staff was exceptional - you felt welcome from the start. The atmosphere is incredibly pleasant, you can really relax and enjoy your time. And the food? Simply fantastic! The menus are perfectly balanced in terms of taste and you can tell that the cooking here is done with love. Every bite was a delight. I'll definitely be back!

Ordered food 5 hours back and still waiting as they show delivered and don't even pick up the call I ordered the food of 75€ .

Nice place... Authentic food .. feel the indian vibe.. must try !!!!!

Very good location. We are very satisfied, came here with several people. The food tastes wonderful, very nice, tasty warm dishes. The waiters are very competent and friendly. Any time!

Great place. Everything freshly prepared. Super tasty 😋

Disappointing experience – Not recommended Unfortunately, my visit to this restaurant was a thoroughly negative experience. Unlike any other Indian restaurant, rice was not automatically included in the dishes, they only contain sauce and meat. Without warning, rice was put on the table without asking, which was then billed separately. Only later did it turn out that this was hidden somewhere in the menu at the back. Each additional portion was also charged extra - and at a higher price than stated in the menu. The restaurant's attempt to charge additionally for simple ingredients such as oil and parsley on the flatbread was particularly bold. After asking several times for a detailed invoice, I was reluctant to receive one. When I explained that I was unwilling to pay for things that were not clearly listed as additional costs from the start, it was met with little understanding. In addition, payment is only made when leaving the restaurant, where all guests have to line up in a row to be processed individually. In this way, the questionable billing process is hardly noticeable. Overall, the experience was characterized by dishonesty and a lack of transparency. I therefore absolutely cannot recommend this restaurant - I have never experienced anything like it.

We went for dinner with a group of 5 friends and absolutely loved it! The food was excellent – ​​everything from the starters to the dessert was delicious. We would particularly like to highlight the service: she was attentive, friendly and rounded off our evening perfectly. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommended!

Highly recommended, great food and great service :)

First of all, it should be said that the food was extremely tasty and the service was also courteous and friendly. I can't say whether the food is authentic Indian as this was my first Indian restaurant. However, I cannot recommend the restaurant overall as customers are treated differently depending on the situation. I visited the restaurant with a The Fork reservation with a 50% discount. We ordered two dishes, a drink and a side dish of naan bread. We were assured by the service that rice would be served with the dishes, which was included (which is also common for dishes in such price ranges). At the end of the visit the rice was charged extra as this would be the norm at The Fork. Of course, providers can set their own conditions, such as drinks not being covered by the discount, but al la cart dishes should not be adapted to orders via The Fork in this way, which leaves a feeling of scam. For example, a dish in which five pieces of chicken were served (without any other side dishes apart from a few rocket leaves and a small dip) cost around €20. It seems to me as if the provider is trying to compensate for the “losses” via The Fork in this way. In addition, the ratio between portion size and price does not match at all. Unfortunately, despite the good taste, we cannot recommend this restaurant.

Food tasted great. BUT Service poor for this price category. Sauces are supposedly included in the price, but they cost extra. Drinks too expensive. Music too loud. Everything is a bit disorganized. Conclusion: food good. But overall too expensive and poor service.

Very nicely decorated, friendly staff, very tasty food (be careful, some of it is really spicy, for those who are not used to it).

The ambience was very nice. The food was also delicious. The service was a complete disaster. The man in front who collects money is so condescending. I really don't know what's going on with the people there, but I got such a turn-off. I'll never go there again as a guest

Good food and nice staff. Eating Indian here is just fun :)

One the best Indian Restaurant in this region. We can recommend this restaurant if you are visiting or living in Cologne and want to try Authentic Indian food.

The butter chicken is very, very tasty!

The best place to eat Indian and Afghani Food <3 recommended to all the Foodies in Town

A very good place, with a pleasant experience

Had a very pleasant experience. The staff and the owner are very nice and super friendly. Would definitely recommend everyone interested in tasting indian food.

Very good place, food is fresh plus tasty. Nice staff although the owner is so humble for students too. We got special discount. Recommended for everyone.

Nice service and much recommended

What is this mess supposed to represent? I rate it very positively, apart from really terrible experiences, but what is offered here is really scary. We ordered for pickup via Uber Eats. What was ordered was a “Dal Makhni” - what was prepared here is, at best, a lentil dal. So I would think that an Indian restaurant would know the differences between these two dishes. Go to Royal Punjab or the many other very good Indian restaurants in Cologne but I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Dear team, we are very grateful to you for the delicious food and your kindness!!! Your food is simply great, we were there at the beginning and are still there, it just keeps getting better, thank you very much!!!

very nice boss and the restaurant is mega, you definitely have to try something so delicious that is simply indescribable. ❤️

Highly recommended!! Keep it up

Very tasty food and very nice service!

A bit strange, the waitresses don't understand you very well and the other way around. No matter whether German or English. Placing an order becomes a little adventure. But the food was delicious. Only my portion was very small.

The best Indian food ever!, a friendly boss and very nice staff.

The food was good and we liked the ambience. However, we were not satisfied with the service. The waiters were very pushy and we didn't feel welcome. We had to place an order even though we hadn't yet fully viewed the menu and communicated this. Several times they wanted to clear away our food and drinks even though we weren't finished yet. And we were asked several times about our drink preferences, even though we still had more than enough. The restaurant wasn't really full, so we could have assumed that our table had a subsequent reservation.

My experience at Ginty & More in Cologne was far from pleasant, primarily due to the disruptive noise throughout the meal. The sound of cutlery being sorted right next to the dining tables was absolutely unbearable and completely detracted from what should have been a relaxing experience. It’s hard to enjoy your meal when you’re constantly distracted by clanging and clattering right beside you. While the food itself was decent, the atmosphere really needs improvement, particularly in terms of noise management. For a restaurant aiming to offer a more refined dining experience, such details are crucial. Unfortunately, this left me with a negative impression, and I would hesitate to recommend it until these issues are addressed.

Great food and such service ☆☆☆ courteous, friendly, thoughtful ☆☆☆ simply great

Very nice and accommodating hosts and very tasty, varied and plentiful dishes. Highly recommended!

The food was incredibly tasty, especially the starters were one of the best I've ever had. I would recommend taking some to share. Of course it is also quite expensive, but that was to be expected. Service was great, the food came quicker than expected and the staff was very friendly. The atmosphere was also very pleasant and we could see directly into the kitchen from our table. Everything was done very cool. I would definitely come back but more for a special occasion because of the prices.

Very tasty food, top service, wonderful ambience!! :)

I had a delightful experience with their VIP package. The staff was very accommodating and polite, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Great atmosphere, food was really good. Suggestion: good for groups!

The ambience and the food was great, I chose the chefs menu, where we can experience a lot of flavors, at the end of the menu the dessert and the chai was top notch

Good food and good ambience overall

Bad experience the waiter forces us to take the VIP menu but it's not worth for money.

The quality of the food is not that good.

Food is very bad. They forced us to take the chef special menu which is 50 euros per person. And also we had to give good reviews to make it from 50 to 40 euros.

Really great food. Thanks. Come again.

Food was still ok, what I don't like about the service is that at the end you have to go somewhere up front to pay the bill. That's a no go for me.

Modern, well-kept restaurant with a hidden courtyard. Predominantly Indian cuisine (crossover cuisine). We had different starters and dishes, everything was delicious. The advice about what was very hot and what was mild or medium hot was also correct. We'll be back!

Great service and food! The owner talked to us about the story of the restaurant, food and it was so pleasurable

Simply great taste, always want to come back, great service, just the way you want, always want to come back

the food and the staff were super good. There are also dishes on the menu that I haven't seen in other Indian restaurants, so it's great for trying something new. There is also an outdoor area at the back.

Super lovely people, super nice restaurant and very nice restaurant 😌

The food was disgusting, I would give this restaurant a 0 if I could. The waitress don’t know what order they are taking, I asked for something else and they brought something different. The rasmali was so hot, when the original taste is supossed to be cold. Thus, it’s been frozen before and the milk inside was microwaved! I would never go back don’t waste your time and money!

Very aggressive people would not recommend

Top Indian restaurant, very friendly - definitely stop by!

Finest culinary Indian cuisine ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My husband and I really enjoy coming here - we discovered this restaurant at some point and the taste and ambience are wonderful. It's definitely worth the price ☺️ Highly recommended!

Chicly decorated restaurant with delicious food and friendly staff. Unfortunately, the prices are very high and the portions are relatively small. When paying, I said that I wanted to pay with the card and was then asked to pay in cash.. strange.

Price-performance ratio was a bit exaggerated for us. The restaurant itself looks modern and chic. Food OK. Because you have to order the side dish and possibly sauce with everything, it ends up being quite expensive. Ordered garlic chili sauce and then unfortunately discovered that it had coriander in it, which wasn't there. Sat "outside" on the street, view not great. The deposits were sorted behind me the whole time, which really bothered me. Service is nice, but has difficulty communicating in German, actually only speaks English.

Everything is great. The best Indian food in Cologne. 5 minutes directly into town. Cocktails are also good and ambient…
