Ginti Indian Restaurant in Köln

They're clearly cutting corners on the meat portions here. 4 small pieces for around €20. Too expensive for too little.

Food is fine. Pani puri was exceptional. The vegetables pakoras are too dry and felt raw chickpea oil and like a ball. Could make it better. Parathas as nice!! I never was able to have serving of Chai in my three times visit. :/

Very authentic aromatic food. The starters are really varied. Great selection

Unfortunately, the order overall was really disappointing. The butter chicken was quite dry and at most lukewarm, so the price/performance ratio is simply not right. The service was rather subpar, the delivery took over an hour, which can certainly happen. Unfortunately, the employee on the phone was really rude and told me to be patient and just hung up. Absolutely no recommendation.

Very tasty and friendly service

Miserable service. Order wasn't there after almost 2 hours. When asked, they said “colleague is coming” and simply hung up. Food arrived cold and unfortunately didn't taste good at all.

The food is really delicious, but unfortunately I cannot recommend the delivery service. Especially as a vegan, you'll get your money's worth here - there's absolutely nothing to complain about in terms of taste, quite the opposite! However, we were disappointed several times by the delivery service. After we ordered via Lieferando, we received a message asking us to order via their website in the future. We found this a bit strange, but understandable as it saves you the Lieferando fees. Unfortunately, the reality of the delivery service was rather chaotic: The delivery person always seemed to be short on time, shouted loudly through the stairwell that he was in the second row and had to put the food on the stairs. A cozy Sunday meal feels different - and to be honest, that always made me feel uneasy when ordering more. However, the low point was yesterday: After **two and a half hours of waiting**, without any information by email or telephone, it was clear to us that we would no longer order here. I would like to emphasize again that the food is really excellent - but unfortunately the delivery service ruins the experience. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether they want to take the risk.

I have eaten there many times. You used to receive a good and warm welcome there, which is unfortunately no longer the case today. When we were there today we received a rude welcome and were offered a place to sit right next to others - literally right next to each other very very closely. There was also a free table for two people, and when I asked if we could sit there they said the table was just dirty and needed to be cleared. We were prepared to wait, but the waiter cheekily told us to just sit down - exactly where we would have sat right next to others. So we just left the store. We think it's a shame because we were regular customers!

Very delicious i dian food serve heare

Unfortunately a disappointment. Where were turmeric, cumin and all the tantalizing nuances that make up Indian cuisine? Apparently on a business trip. Our P&L shows that the cost per serving is too high, which is depressing satisfaction - we either have to optimize the cost of goods or adjust the prices.

Fantastically beautiful 🥰🙏🏼 you feel really comfortable and at ease all around 🍀 the food is fantastic and the service is top notch 💯👍🏼 very well maintained and clean! And really very cozy… a little piece of India 🇮🇳 in Cologne 🥰👍🏼 I can only recommend it 100% 🙏🏼🍀💯🥰 Thank you 🙏🏼 for the exceptional, delicious food and the wonderful evening with you!

Very tasty food! Everything was great: from the service to the ambience. There is a deduction for the (in my opinion) not so generous portions.

Went to the Ginti again after a long time, very satisfied. A really nice place to eat. Staff is quick and friendly

Favorite Indian place in Cologne. Very very tasty!

Very friendly service! Great service! Very tasty food!

The absolute number 1 when it comes to Indian cuisine! 😍

Today in the old year the third time in such a restaurant in Bonn / Niederkassel / Cologne today the fried grill plate on New Year's Eve didn't taste particularly tasty without sauce and it was very expensive everything had to be paid extra. The side salad was a joke 3 green leaves. Many Thanks for your reply, I will never set foot in your restaurant again. Their delivery service is incredibly disruptive and it is very uncomfortable. The restaurant tester from WD television would have to look at what you are offering as a grill plate. It definitely doesn't give any stars and shows how it can be done better. .

Food was really good. But the thali plates on the menu "don't exist". Aha. While the last bites were being eaten, the service came and cleared away the food. Despite a reservation, the reception was hectic and uncoordinated. Menu “worn out” and not clean. No decorations or anything else on the table. It is very loud and it was overcrowded (large groups at small tables = aisles almost impossible to walk through). Women's toilet was not clean. And in the end it says: why not cash payment? Everything is then transferred to a second system for an endless amount of time, and then you can pay with a card “unwanted”. All of this is going much better.

I have eaten Indian food in several countries around the world and Ginti in Cologne is one of the best. We have been eating at Ginti for many years and always enjoy it. The quality is consistently on point. We will continue to make the journey to Cologne if we want it to be “Indian” again. Thanks Ginti, keep it up!!

The food was good and the portions were decent and filled you up. We were there on a Friday and the three of us got a place even without a reservation. However, the drink prices are m.m.n. a bit cheeky. €3.30 for a 0.2l Kölsch is an announcement. That reduces the joy of the visit a little.

So the food was good, the food prices were adequate, we got a seat even on Friday evening without a reservation, the food came quickly. Big but: Unfortunately, the prices for drinks don't work at all. I've never paid so much for drinks before. Too bad!

Went there with a Neotaste voucher but it still wasn't worth it. Very bad service, simply underground in terms of expertise. Especially for these proud prices. But the food itself was good. Price performance but really bad. €8 for a 0.7l water bottle or €7 for a mango lassi, €17-25 main course. Sauces etc. all cost extra and not cheap. I don't understand why Indian food is always so ridiculously expensive. It's rice and bread with vegetables or some chicken. The starter was “mixed vegetables” and we simply got fried vegetables. Only one of the employees spoke German, who was listless and grumpy and when asked for a recommendation just said "yes, everything that is there, what do you want"?😂. Simply brought things that were absolutely not appropriate, for example, pulled the menu away for another guest while you were still looking. Then at the end you had to pack the leftover food yourself and were given an aluminum bowl (even though there were two of us) and no bag or anything like that without being asked. So sorry, but what's wrong here, what kind of bad behavior is this? We had to go to the front to pay and he didn't even know which table we were sitting at. Yes bro should I do your job? By the way, paying in cash is not welcome ;) With these prices and this noble production you should actually do something and not just rip off. Ambiance was okay. Not really lovingly furnished. Nevertheless, the food was good, but in my opinion too expensive and the service too bad. We won't be coming back again.

The service is very nice and the food tastes great. The selection of drinks is enormous and unique.

Incredibly nice people and the food comes straight from the tandoori! We have rarely eaten such good Indian food. I can really only recommend it!

The food tasted good, but quickly got cold in the bowls without a warming device. The service was quite taciturn. We sat in the front of the restaurant. The atmosphere here is uncomfortable. Plus it was constantly cold. I recommend installing a vestibule or at least a thick curtain in front of the shop door. The toilets were unkempt.

The food is good and your coat doesn't smell like Indian spices afterwards.

A (unfortunately) disappointing experience. We've been there many times and had it delivered several times, but today was the last time. Portions are getting smaller and more expensive (the starter just looked sad). Rice was canceled once and asked for an alternative, no chance... the rice was still brought for 2 people (unnecessary food waste). Statement: the rice is always with you and there is no need to exchange it! So €14.50 for a small pot of vegetables…. Very exaggerated... Conclusion: too expensive for the portions, inaccessible staff. Too bad….

Good tasty Indian food and nice staff!

Authentic food with good service.

The food is simply incredibly delicious and the staff is very nice. They also make the best Garlic Naan and have a great selection for vegan to meat. When it comes to the ambience, the restaurant could simply be decorated a little nicer and warmer, otherwise everything is great.

Prices are a bit high. Meals for 15-22€, 0.3 mango lassi for 6€. After all, the drinks were great, the bread was great and the meat was wonderfully tender. I found the curries to be unspectacular for the price. Service unfortunately a bit unfriendly and intrusive. Not a great deal for €55 at 2P

The food was ok. But also just ok and warm. The service was unfriendly and the service was even shorter after we hadn't ordered naan bread or a starter. There were two times today: the first and last time. 👎🏻 sorry, that's not how you do it.

The food was pretty average. The one of the curries, dal makhni we ordered was too salty. It was un-eatable. Nobody came to ask how the food was. Could not even send it back. Starters were decent. In the end they said we have to pay only by cash.

Very good restaurant, the food is excellent! Portions and service are ok. I'm removing a few stars because still water served by the glass costs more than €3. We expect to have the bottle on the table at the price of the glass. You will know what to expect when you go there.

Avoid this place at all costs, especially if you've ever had Indian food that was even halfway decent. We ordered through Wolt and got a burnt, inedible dal makhani. When we called, they promised to replace it with our next order—but that turned out to be an even bigger disaster. Playing it safe, we ordered butter paneer and samosa chaat. Not only did the food arrive over an hour late after it was supposedly "delivered," but the paneer tasted downright off, almost spoiled. The naan was rubbery and unchewable, and they completely botched the order by sending some bland, tasteless Manchurian instead of the chaat we ordered. Everything lacked flavor to an almost shocking degree. Total waste of money.

Really unfriendly supplier. He complained to me because he didn't see the house number. Pushes the food bag into me and leaves without saying a word.

Expensive, impersonal, no privacy

Best Indian food in Cologne. My husband and I come here at least once a month!

The food here is good, but this time it was served with a one-hour delay. While the staff remains polite and the mango lassi is exceptional, the portions were noticeably smaller than usual.

Service is very unfriendly and doesn't care about guests. When you ask for recommendations, you get a rude, listless response. The cards are removed with aggression. The food is not fresh and doesn't taste particularly good. So 3/10. Women's toilet smells unpleasant and is not clean. 🧼 2 portions for 2 different people are served in one plate without consent! We felt very uncomfortable. And in the end it says: card payment is not possible! Cash only! Attention customs! Unpleasant atmosphere.

Great place to try Indian food mainly Lamb Biriyani was really good must try

We were looking forward to a meal at Christmas and reserved a table. However, to our great disappointment, we were seated outside despite having a reservation - and that in December! Unfortunately, the food was mediocre and did not meet our expectations. Absolutely unacceptable for a special occasion like Christmas. We definitely won't go here again.

Excellent food. Must visit. They serve authentic Indian style food.

Hands down the best and authentic Indian food in Cologne! The host and staff are extremely sweet and polite. The food is as close as one could get to home 🫶🏻 and the menu is vast! So you can choose from a wide variety of dishes! Absolutely enjoyed the chana masala and bhature. The masala chaas is a must try! We were fortunate to get the complimentary mango lassi which was delish as well. Also had the opportunity of meet the cook, Mr. Gobinda who hails from Kendrapada, Odisha and Kuddos to the delicious food that you prepare! 💯 highly recommended to try this place out if you are in Cologne!

Really super tasty. Very nice service and good advice. It was really fun and leaves you wanting more. We'll definitely come back :) Location is super central and easily accessible by public transport.

The food was good, I can only recommend the chicken lolliipops. But it took a while before someone came to take the orders. And one of the waitresses barely understood us. It was a little uncomfortable as we had to wait for the translator. Parking options are very limited, so allow some time to park.

For the expensive price, food quality was worth.

The vegetarian appetizer plate is just a bunch of deliciously fried something. Unfortunately it didn't work at all. The main course was okay, but way too overpriced…

The food was delicious, but there were only 3 small pieces of butter chicken for 17.40...portions in the restaurant were different.

Horrible, rude and abusive delivery driver who doesn’t know how to read an address and all he does is scream on the road, in the building and at our neighbours before even reading where he’s supposed to deliver. Food was bang average and not worth leaving either a good or bad review, but the delivery driver made the whole experience almost equivalent to having your money stolen.

Everything perfect 👌🏽 super delicious food and great service. Would love to come back.

If you are in Germany and are looking for an English-speaking Restaurant? Ginti India Restaurant got you covered. This is a great place to eat! The food is delicious and the staffs are very friendly. The atmosphere is also very friendly and inviting. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good meal in Rudolf Platz Cologne.

Very nice service and atmosphere. Great place to eat and enjoy Indian food.

Everything was great. I'd love to come back :)

Very good bread and the food was excellent

The food is super tasty and the service is also very, very friendly. The atmosphere is pleasant. A big plus is that you don't have to wait long for your food.

Was lured by the “2 for 1” offer. I ordered Chicken Tikka Massala. After a delivery time of 90 minutes, I received a portion that was divided into two bowls. 3 small pieces of chicken per bowl. Completely bland. Absolute rip-off. Never again!

Great food Lots of vegan and vegetarian options Definitely recommend the Biryani

We pre-ordered from the restaurant via Uber. The order should be there by 7 p.m. at the latest. Now it's 8:30 p.m. and still nothing has arrived. It's very difficult to reach the restaurant by phone, neither on a cell phone nor on a landline. And if someone does answer, you'll be brushed off...

The chef was really great, served us all with the best dishes. The staff was very friendly. We tried Mango lassi, Masala Dosa, paprichat, daal chawal and gobhi Manchurian, everything was cooked to perfection.

Food was very tasty and well seasoned. I ordered for pickup and asked in advance when it would be ready for pickup. I was there at the agreed time, then I was made to wait for 40 minutes. When asked several times, it was only briefly mentioned that it would still take 5 minutes, but you can see that it is full. At least they could have offered me a seat This is not how you treat your customers.

Everything is awesome specially desert and lassi ….. very good behave also

A real taste experience! I was recently at Ginti and absolutely loved it. The authentic Indian spices and flavors are a delight for the taste buds. Perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was pleasantly inviting.

Food and service TOP! The food arrived what felt like 10 minutes after ordering. The butter chicken and the naan bread were A1! We will definitely come back.

To be honest, I didn't find the food particularly special and the portion was very small. I ordered butter chicken. You don't feel welcome at all, so only one star for the service.

Unfortunately, ordering from this restaurant was a complete failure. For the first time I was happy about the portions being too small. The Chicken Tikka Masala is not recommended.

Jalfrezi lamb 3/10 €18.90 Butter Chicken 7.5/10 €17.90 Chicken lollipops 4/10 €12.50 Naan Garlic 6/10 €4.2 Reita dip 5/10 €3.90 Taste 5/10 Optics 6/10 Service 9/10 Ambiance 3/10 Price 3/10 Card payment 3/3 Service was great. The chicken lollipops and the jalfrezi are not recommended. However, the butter chicken and naan were very tasty. Overall, we didn't find the price-performance ratio of the evening to be quite right, especially because we didn't like the two things

The waitress was very nice and was able to guide us through the menu and make recommendations. The price/performance ratio of the food was not convincing. I can recommend the butter chicken and naan garlic. I cannot recommend chicken lollypops or jalfrezi lamb. Overall it was a nice evening, but too expensive for the performance

Super super tasty and great service. 10/10 would recommend!

Great atmosphere and a large, inviting place with music! The food is perfect for anyone who likes spices and spiciness - a real adventure for the palate. There is also a large selection of drinks and specialties. Highly recommended!

Super delicious restaurant. Was there twice in a row and might go again the next evening. The naan bread is super fresh and warm, perfect and the rice chicken dishes are just wow. Definitely the best inda!✨🍸

We were there today with our little son. Unfortunately he cried a lot, the staff helped us straight away and were very friendly. Thank you very much for that. The food was excellent and the portions were more than enough. We will definitely come again.

At aka Aja there is not only love for food but also the best ingredients. Extremely likeable guy. Food top. Again and again

The food is super tasty and freshly prepared. The portions are sufficient and you will feel really full. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely visit the restaurant again.

Top food. Fair prices. Extremely full, definitely make a reservation. 4 stars for service because a person simply slammed our plate on the table and our table next to us was served from our table. So the food from the neighboring table was on our table.

Fast service and delicious food, I recommend the lamb tikka masala 👍🏻

Very, very tasty and the waiter gave us great advice :)

Price/performance is not right here at all. The rice portion is far too small and most of the dishes only have a few chunks of meat without any vegetables. The dips are way too overpriced and the service was very pushy so we preferred the most expensive yogurt sauce. The dessert was the biggest joke. 2 small rice balls for €5.9

Service very strange. Food good, but waiter tries to order additional starters. Toilet smells terrible.

Authentic Indian food. Very nice staff. Best in cologne. Affordable yet.

Everything was very good. If you are good with spices, you should definitely try it. Favorites are mango lassi, butter chicken and garlic naan

Authentic Indian food. We tried Chicken Bhuna & Chicken Madras curry and Chicken Tandoori in start. Everything was delicious and tasted just like India. Must try for all the desi's in the area

I ordered from uber eats with a 50% discount and then just got 50% less butter chicken than usual... Really not OK for €18.90 per portion

Chaotic, overcrowded and waited 30 minutes despite a reservation and then left

It's really very tasty. I would only recommend it

Super tasty food, good normal prices! Good portions, not too small. We come to eat here regularly.

Unfortunately the staff was very unfriendly. We were rudely pressured to order quickly. There was no time left to think. The waiter was also talking on the phone incredibly loudly at the next table, so much so that we could no longer hold a conversation. Therefore the atmosphere is unfortunately very bad. The food was good. But it was absolutely no fun eating here!

It was delicious (and quite spicy if you requested it!)! We were warmly welcomed without a reservation and even got an appetizer on the house! :)

The first Indian where I personally enjoyed it. Unfortunately it was very loud, but I'll be happy to come back.

Very tasty food. I can only recommend it! Delivery works perfectly

The food was delicious and there was a street food sample on the house!

Feel cheated. We were late to the hotel by almost to the kitchen closing time and also we have told them that we have come a long way to taste the food. Inspite of it we were cheated. Ordered paneer tikka masala with Naan. They delivered Panneer butter masala with bland taste. A water bottle is 7€. !!!!!! Pre- prepared , refrigerated mango lassi was a bad decision that we shouldn’t have ordered.

We found out about this restaurant through recommendations and should definitely try the Butter Chicken. After eating many different versions, we can say: today was the best! The dish was perfectly seasoned and prepared. In short: I can highly recommend this restaurant and especially the Butter Chicken!

Everything's great :-) thank you

Great place! Very nice staff and delicious food. We‘ve been coming for years!

Good employees eat very tasty❤️🥳

The food was great, and the staff was really friendly. I met the owner, and he was super nice. The food was just like Indian food should be. This was my first time there, but I'll definitely be going back again and again whenever I'm in town.

The food is delicious, but the service is intrusive. We had just sat down when we were asked if we would like to order. Even though we first opened the map. Less than 5 minutes later, the next waiter comes and asks again... a little later, the first waiter is in front of us again, and we were obviously still deciding. We have been there many times because we like the food and the shop is nearby. However, the service often seemed a bit annoyed and inattentive. The ambience is nice. There is calm music playing and the rooms are well divided.

Very tasty Indian restaurant, BUT the prices are impressive. This is all about making money. Each slice of pampadam costs 2.20 euros and each dip costs an extra 1.50 each. Waiters also really want to talk you into an appetizer and naan bread to go with it. Doesn't feel good. Main courses start at 17.90, so definitely not a good price-performance ratio anymore... However, the main courses are very large, if the waiter allows it, sharing makes sense and then it's fine again.

The food was okay, but the smell in the basement near the toilets was unacceptable and the service was not friendly, but rather pushy and unpleasant. Too bad!
