Ginti and More Bar & Restaurant in Köln

Simply everything you need for an enjoyable evening in a beautiful, quiet atmosphere

Good food but horrible experience when paying the bill. Owner doesn’t give you the receipt and he doesn’t honor the discounts he promised with The Fork app. You can only pay with cash but they don’t let you know before hand as other restaurants do. I wouldn’t come back.

Food great! Prices ok! Service mediocre! The bill was 3-4 products too many. A friend also experienced the same thing here. Please pay attention to the invoice!! I don't want to offend anyone, but it can't be a coincidence!!! Thanks for the food, but I won't come again.

Food is so delicious 😋 Friendly Nature And Best Atmosphere Calm and Peaceful

Super delicious food, especially the butter chicken and the naan, just perfectly seasoned. The service was really friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant was really pleasant. The portions are large, the prices are fair. If you like Indian food, you definitely have to go here :)

Delicious food! Of the highest quality to take away yourself. We're always happy to come back!

Nothing can be said about the food. High quality and delicious. This review is more of a warning/caution when paying the bill: My second visit here and the second time that we (a larger group) were simply charged for incorrect & additional orders. Only noticed the mistake afterwards and paid €30 too much. It is questionable why in the year 2024/2025 you still have to ask the customer to checkout and then wait around 10 minutes for the boss to enter all the dishes individually into his checkout. Digitalization is not yet an issue here. So dear visitors... be careful!

The two of us attended the “cooking course” on Sunday lunchtime. My expectations were more than exceeded. I haven't experienced so much hospitality and warmth in a long time. A big thank you to all the staff and the wonderful food we cooked together. Just great !!!

Great store!! I can only recommend it! Super nice boss and employees, the service was great. And the food was really so delicious 😍

Super sweet :) we even received a mango lasso as a gift

Dear restaurant owner, we received a very warm welcome and the food exceeded our expectations! The butter chicken tasted very good and Galic naan bread is totally recommended. We would come here again and again😋

Bad service, food tasted very artificial and was cold. Had to order twice because our first order arrived wrong. We gave the store a second chance, but it was just as disastrous!!!

A real disappointment. In my opinion the price-performance ratio is not right. Yes, the food was tasty, but it was way too expensive for what was on offer. The service seemed overwhelmed and stressed. The women's toilets were not in good condition. We had high expectations - and will definitely not eat here again. I'm awarding one point because otherwise I wouldn't be able to publish this post

Recently had dinner here with work colleagues. Everything went great. It's best to make a reservation, it was full even on weekday evenings.

I recently tried dosa for the first time and found it to be absolutely amazing. Thank you for the excellent service.

We came for lunch and had an absolutely delightful experience! The chef’s expertise truly shines through every dish. Each bite was packed with flavor, perfectly balanced, and beautifully presented. The care and creativity in the preparation were evident, making it a memorable meal. To top it off, we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary dishes those were just as incredible as the rest of the menu. It’s rare to find a chef who not only impresses with their cooking but also makes the experience feel so special and personalized. We’ll definitely be coming back for more and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for outstanding food and service!

The foods were really awesome with the exact Indian taste in each of the dishes! Loved it. Also the chef was nice and gave us complimentary dishes as well!🥺💞

Food is great. Unfortunately service is very bad. Aggressive upselling and lack of knowledge of normal service norms.

Ginti and More is an upscale Indian restaurant (crossover with dishes from all over the world). The service was nice and accommodating. The food was delicious, but sometimes it didn't match the menu.

The food was very tasty and the location itself is really nice. Unfortunately the service was super bad and we didn't really feel welcome! Plates were simply cleared away, even though they were not yet empty and others at the table were also eating. To pay, we had to go to the entrance and then wait forever while standing in the way in the middle of the aisle (which the staff also made us feel, but unfortunately there was no other way to wait!). To be honest, I think it's a shame given the prices. I would have expected a little more!

The food was great. Unfortunately the service was a bit hectic.

Very nice atmosphere and very tasty! The staff is super nice and very accommodating

Everything very tasty and fresh! 🫶🏻 lots of choice and everything with love 🩷 great staff and a nice atmosphere! A visit to Cologne is worth it🫶🏻

Everything was great. The service is very good and the food is amazing. The boss is so nice and helpful. You will feel very comfortable. Just wow. Having become one of my love shops.

We were here for my girlfriend's birthday. I had two delicious dishes from the starter street food menu and left well satisfied. I can especially recommend the chicken lollipops. The service was very friendly and accommodating and there was even a little serenade with music and cake on the house. Very sweet ;)

So ein schönes großes Lokal und leckeres Chicken Tikka Masala! Sehr kinderfreundlich😍 Wir kommen gerne nochmal. Great restaurant and very good dishes, we will definitely come again.

Everything was great, great service! Extremely friendly and accommodating

Taste good, but portion size not enough. The price is relatively high. You wait forever for food and drinks

We were served wrong food and even though we specifically said that we didn't like the food served, the boss still insisted that we eat it. The prices are way too expensive compared to the portions you get! No recommendation.

Excellent experience, great service. Enjoyed the mealtime.

Today we ate here together for the first time. We are satisfied. Gladly again

We arrived at the restaurant with high expectations, given the good reviews and all the advertising. The ambience is good, the restaurant is clean and well lit. The food tasted pretty good (the butter chicken had 5 pieces of chicken, was a little bland, came with rice but cost a whopping 22,50€ for the portion size). The flavours were not authentic indian, which I then learned was because it is an Afghani run restaurant. The roomali roti was dry, not the soft ‘roomali’ texture one would be used to in India. The chicken dum biryani also had 4-5 small pieces of meat, plenty of rice and little masala, so unfortunately also lacked flavour. Each dish was very highly priced for the portion size / wholesomeness. Unfortunately what was missing was good service. Even on a Wednesday evening, with no exceptional rush in the restaurant, the waiter was very pushy, not eager but pushy, about placing an order and wouldn’t give time/space even when we requested it. We usually pack leftovers so that they don’t have to be thrown away, so we requested a doggy bag. He unfortunately rudely left me a box to pack my own leftovers to take. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against packing it myself. But it was my first experience ever, world wide, where the server didn’t pack it after clearing up the table, so i was taken aback, unfortunately leaving a bad impression at the end of the meal. Perhaps we had an off day at the restaurant, and it is usually better, but with my experience, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Great atmosphere and very tasty food! Always worth a visit.

You really have the best Indian food in Cologne here. I have tried many Indian restaurants and it tastes best here. Above all, there is no skimping on spices and spiciness, so it is really authentic. Of course you can also order the dishes mild. The owner is a very attentive and nice person. By the way, the Mango Lassi is also highly recommended. Only the staff could be friendlier, but since the food comes quite quickly and everything else is fine, the complaining is at a high level. Absolutely recommended!

We were here for lunch while visiting Koln. Had a nice experience. The owner was extremely friendly and welcoming. Good Indian food spot

Great food, quick service, would def go again :)

The Ginti restaurant and its chief Ajaj are simply recommended. Mega friendly and the food is not only cooked with love but also with the best ingredients. Always my pleasure.

Prices for food and drinks are extremely high. Expensive rice has to be ordered with the main courses. The taste was okay, but nothing special for the money. Service is a bit chaotic, you have to wait in line to pay.

We were there on Saturday afternoon and were very impressed by the atmosphere and the food! The staff and the boss were very friendly! The portions are more than enough! There is only a point deduction for the sanitary rooms, you could wipe them down every now and then...

Absolute disappointment! The ambience is quite nice, apart from the disgustingly dirty window facing the kitchen. Service was unprofessional. To pay you have to stand in a queue in front of the exit! Neither beautiful nor contemporary. Price-performance ratio is very bad. The food is nothing special. For the main course, which costs over twenty euros and only consists of five pieces of chicken, you also have to order and pay for rice and sauce. Then they didn't even bring the right sauce, but a completely different one. What's really annoying is that I got sick after eating!!! We won't go there again!

I often order from you, the food tastes great but the service from the supplier is extremely bad and unfriendly! Every time he says my car is parked dangerously, the other day I ordered food at the hospital, he comes in annoyed, closes his hand, as if I supposedly have something contagious, FYI I'm a dialysis patient and have cancer, I should be more careful regard!! Then he scolds me for not giving my cell phone number, nobody has to give his/her number. That was the last order I made because I don't want the delivery person anymore.

We were there as a school class, i.e. a fairly large group, and reserved tables in advance and our conclusion: We'd be happy to go again! It was very cozy with great service and above all: very, very tasty!

The reception went very quickly and we were served directly at our table. The service was very attentive and friendly. The food tops everything. The butter chicken came at the perfect time and was very delicious. Therefore 5/5 stars!

This Indian restaurant impressed in all areas. The service was super nice and attentive - you immediately felt at home. The atmosphere was really nice, cozy and inviting. There was incredibly delicious food. Everything was just right: the atmosphere, the friendliness of the team and the entire experience. I can really only recommend it and am already looking forward to my next visit. Absolutely great!

The food was simply excellent and the service from the extremely friendly and hospitable boss was great. You immediately felt welcome and in good hands. The restaurant was also very nicely decorated.

The food and especially the atmosphere was very pleasant. The food was excellent and the service was always there when you needed something. Recommendation from me. 👍

Extremely good food and a nice atmosphere. The employees are extremely nice and friendly. I would definitely eat here again, highly recommended.

Delicious food and the staff is very nice.

I was very positively surprised by everything. Really nothing to complain about. I would love to come back :)

It was very tasty! Thanks for the good food. We had the prawns with garlic and the delicious naan bread 👍

I was traveling alone on Sunday. Very friendly reception. After a short wait, I still got a seat without a reservation. The food was excellent. Samosas immediately left us wanting more. Chicken Vindaloo had a pleasant spiciness to it. Great taste. There was nothing to say against the Garlic Naan either. Can only recommend this place.

Hello, the food was OK, but nothing exceptional. Butter chicken came in a large bowl, so everything wasn't really hot anymore. Four pieces of chicken and a small piece of cheese for €23. There were 12 of us and we only got one larger bowl of rice. Prices absolutely overpriced. There are better things for far cheaper. Starter for 4 people over €90. Sorry, that wasn't justified.

I ordered butter chicken and they only put total of 3 little tiny chicken boneless pieces Not worth it at all, so disappointing .

Great food and great staff! The ambience was great! I can really recommend this to everyone

The restaurant impresses with a wonderful atmosphere and excellent food! I've eaten here twice now, and both times the dishes were authentic and tasted excellent. The decor is cozy and inviting, and the staff is always attentive, friendly and warm. You really feel welcome here 🤍

Paneer butter masala was extremely good, just like in India. All in all, very good.👌😇

We ate incredibly delicious food. Can recommend it 100%. Soooo good! The atmosphere is appealing and the service is extremely friendly and accommodating.

Based on the fact that we ate well, I have to say that the evening with The Fork was really a rip off. The 50% is not charged in full and although there were two POS, the owner requires payment in cash. Why? I'm assuming that's not true... The service is not the best, they bring you water without a glass and I had to wait 15 minutes to drink and after asking another waiter, luckily the glass arrived... The girl who took the order was really rude.

Very good food and great service!

The boss was super nice, gladly again

Had the butter chicken, my brother had a lamb dish, both were delicious. This was the first time I tried Indian cuisine and I loved it, definitely coming back :)

I ordered through Lieferando. The goulash soup was really delicious, but the lentil and chicken soup was not. Unfortunately there was no bread or anything else with the soups, which is actually usual. The lahmacun and the naan that I ordered tasted good, but unfortunately I had to wait almost half an hour longer for my food than indicated. I already ordered before 11am. When I called at 12:20 and asked where it was, I was told 5 minutes and hung up straight away. The food came to Dan shortly before half past one. It's a shame because the food wasn't bad. Unfortunately the portion sizes are small.

A bit busy and it seemed a bit uncoordinated at times, but everything was made up for by the very friendly service, especially from the boss himself. The starters were served together with the main courses - which really stretched our table capacity - but the food was very tasty and both the drink order and the food were served very quickly, even though the place was packed. Table reservations are definitely recommended (at least on weekends). It certainly wasn't our last visit.

My visit to the Ginti restaurant was a complete success! Not only was the food very tasty, but the portions were also well sized - so that you were full and even had some left over. I would particularly like to highlight the butter chicken: the spiciness was perfectly balanced so that it was pleasantly spicy and yet mild enough. The dish was also a real visual delight, as the eyes really enjoyed it. The vegan brinjal curry was also a highlight. It was aromatic, well seasoned and showed how diverse and tasty vegan cuisine can be. The manager of the house was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made the visit even more pleasant. The location also contributes to the experience: the furnishings are beautiful and inviting, you immediately feel at home. Added to this was the quick service - the food was on the table straight away, which of course only increased the anticipation. The location is also practical: there is a parking garage just a few minutes' walk away, so the journey was relaxed. In terms of price, the restaurant is in the higher segment, but this is absolutely justified given the great location and the harmonious ambience. Overall, I can recommend the Ginti restaurant to anyone who loves or wants to get to know Indian cuisine. Everything is just right here: taste, ambience and service.

The food was super delicious and at the end the boss personally said goodbye to us with mango lassi!

Nothing to complain about this restaurant, wonderful service and the boss here is very generous. I can only recommend it 👍

It was our first time eating here, the food was very delicious and Ajay was very nice and warm

The pani puri was really tasty. The restaurant and bar invite you to linger and the bartender was super nice. We'd love to come back :)

The staff was very friendly and the food (Pani Puri) was very tasty :)

Super tasty and friendly staff :)

We didn't know the place and spontaneously decided to eat there. The decision was right. The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly. We also liked the ambience.

Unfortunately we felt so uncomfortable in the restaurant, you really felt that we weren't really welcome even though you want to feel comfortable when you go out to eat, somehow everything was just slapped down quickly. The restaurant wasn't full. To top it all off, the boss asked us to take the food with us because we hardly ate anything because the mango lassi had already filled us up. The food was delicious. But they simply gave us two containers at the table so that we could fill it ourselves, which I found very strange, but in a snack bar you get better, more caring service. Never again.

Great service! The owner is super friendly, happy to tell you about his work and the food is delicious!

The service was really very bad and unfriendly. We felt unwanted the whole time. At first we were brought the wrong drink. However, upon request, this was changed. The starter we ordered was really ridiculously small for €12.90. When paying, the waiter wanted to urge us to write a positive Google Maps comment. He asked several times in an unfriendly manner whether we would know how it worked. No recommendation!

Very tasty food! Pani puri are highly recommended! The boss is super friendly and accommodating.

NeoTaste promotions are not accepted in the restaurant and are subject to conditions. Very unfriendly operator

Delicious Indian food and great service. Loved it ❤️

The food and ambience was good. I had ordered Paneer Tikka Masala and Butter Naan which I personally loved very much. Overall it was great!!

Delicious food and nice atmosphere!

Everything's great 😍 the boss is super nice. The food was really tasty. I had butter chicken with garlic naan and rice. I recommend this 😊

Ginti and no more…. Waited incredibly long for the food, almost 2 1/2 hours!!! But food was delicious.

Super friendly host, great selection of dishes - great for sharing with friends à la tapas & of course super delicious! I particularly found Gambas Aglio Olio, Gol Gappa and Mango Lassi outstanding. The atmosphere is pleasantly relaxed and you sit really comfortably - you'll want to linger here.

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

Great place and ambience to be at for dinner

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

- 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.

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.
