HaldiSpoon in Köln

The naanizza is amazing. I was skeptical at first, but it really was a perfect combination: crispy naan with a delicious vindaloo curry on top. The curries were also great. Authentic and great prices! We'll definitely be back.

A quick random stop on the way home. Delicious food, friendly owner. We'd gladly return!

Very good Indian food. Good spiciness. Friendly service. I'll be back.

Cozy shop, friendly people, and dishes that are simply delicious! 😃

We had a very nice experience, the service was great and the owners were very friendly too! The food was a little too salty for our taste buds, but once we got used to it, it was very enjoyable. They didn't have any vegan cheese for the vegan Naanizza, so we definitely have to come back to hopefully be able to try it next time 😍 all in all a very cosy and traditional spot definitely worth a visit ✨️

Great Vegetarian options for a good price, almost like in India. Not so cozy inside - more for a short stay. But I would come again for sure!

We enjoyed the food, but unfortunately the portions were really small, especially the rice, which was gone after four spoonfuls. Unfortunately, you won't get full on an empty stomach, or you'll end up ordering the same thing twice.

We really enjoyed it! The naan was also delicious. We recommend ordering the homemade lassi (with a hint of ginger) with it.

A small restaurant with lots of charm and delicious food! The lady at the reception was very friendly and helpful.

My friends and I had our monthly get-together here, and we were all extremely satisfied! After trying the naanizza, I definitely wanted to come back. I love the concept and am a huge fan of the naanizza—it tastes truly delicious! My friends were all impressed, too. They also noticed the slight spiciness, but that's definitely noticeable beforehand. I really like this super cute little restaurant, and I think it's very lovingly decorated. The service is also very friendly and polite.

We went to HaldiSpoon yesterday because of the good reviews and unfortunately we have to say that we can only understand them to a limited extent. The food: We thought the concept was great, different sauces could be combined with chicken or different meat alternatives as desired. The Naanizza also looked really interesting, but we didn't dare try it and stuck with tried-and-tested curry dishes, maybe a mistake. The dishes themselves, ordered as “medium hot”, were not remotely spicy. Maybe you should rethink your declaration, there are also categories like mild, which would have adequately described the level of spiciness. We both had the butter curry sauce, interestingly enough it tasted completely different for both of us, and it tasted much better for my (half-Indian) companion than for me. Where that came from remained a mystery to us. Unfortunately, the mango lassi I had was absolutely bland, with lumps and little mango flavor. I can't recommend it. Overall, the taste was mediocre for us at best. About the staff: The young woman who greeted us should urgently look for another job because her current one is obviously making her very unhappy. She was far from the warmth described in the other reviews, but instead exuded a bad mood and displeasure. Perhaps it has to be said that we were there spontaneously and didn't have a reservation, which is understandably difficult given the size of the restaurant. We were then seated at a table of four with two other guests, which was completely okay (for us, I can't speak for the others ;-)). Tables for two became available relatively quickly, so we asked if we could move around. The waitress wanted to check whether there was a reservation; But we never got the information; newly arrived guests were simply placed there. Since there were quite a few changes while we were there, it seems unlikely that everyone else had reservations. But even if so, an information that unfortunately this is not possible would have been polite and appropriate. The icing on the cake, however, was that she sprayed the second half of the table with disinfectant since the people sitting next to us were finished, while we were logically still sitting next to it and also had food in front of us. As much as I'm in favor of using disinfectants, that's just not possible. Overall, a rather disappointing stay, but luckily there are plenty of alternatives in Cologne.

Warm, tasty and recommended! In summer there are some tables outside.

A small Indian restaurant with a wonderful ambience. So far I haven't been disappointed with any of the dishes on the menu. By the way, these are also available with a decent level of spiciness (“Indian hot”). The employees have always been friendly and, above all, the operator is an incredibly warm person. A highly recommended restaurant. The only downside is that the store is really very small. So you should reserve in advance if you want to eat on site.

Simply great, 5 out of 5! Great food and great ambience.

It was a really delicious restaurant with an interesting concept! We ordered the Tikka masala (Indian spicy) and Vindaloo (Very spicy) Naanizza. I really love the Indian spicy Tikka masala, it was flavourful and spicy. However, the Vindaloo was not as flavourful and spicy as we thought. Moreover, it was a bit different to the Vindaloo we knew in terms of taste and colour. We were also served a complementary mango shot, it was really delicious. However, we were disappointed with the service by the waitress. We ordered two mango lassi and it took a while to be served. After we saw that the customer after us were already served with the mango lassi, we ask the waitress for ours. She came back with only one and we clarified that we ordered two. She said she will be back for the next one and we patiently waited for the next one. In the end, the second one never arrived and we did not ask for it anymore as the mango lassi were not special. When we wanted to pay, we need to clarify it again with her that we never got the second mango lassi. Hence, we felt that service should be improved. All in all, we enjoyed our meal. As a side note, the restaurant was on the smaller side, it may be better to book a table in advance.

Very friendly and great food Highly recommend

Whenever I go to Haldispoon I plan to try something new, but when I think about the butter chicken from the previous visits in the shop, unfortunately I can't choose another dish. Maybe it will work next time😂. Many greetings and see you soon

None but fine Very tasty, (butter chicken curry dish) Good recommendation from me.

The first time Indian....was super delicious...

Very tasty food. Since the store is very small, you often have to wait to be seated, but it's worth it.

Always delicious 😋 and beautiful

10/10 ❣️❣️❣️❣️ I loved this place, is super nice, simple and the food is so delicious ❣️❣️❣️❣️. I will come back again for sure ❣️🫸🫷

Great little spot for authentic Indian food and ambience. Very tasty and lovingly prepared. Reservations are important!

Were a little disappointed. The food is more convincing in other Indian restaurants in Cologne. The portions were a bit small, service was rather inattentive (our predecessors' empty drink bottles were left on the table until the end). The owner seemed very nice, but we weren't impressed with the food (we had butter vegetables, butter chicken (we prefer it more tomatoey) and palaak paneer).

Nice little restaurant. Super nice service and nice atmosphere. Food was great too. Always my pleasure

Small shop with a great P/L ratio. Food tastes authentic and staff is friendly! :) Always my pleasure

Very lovely atmosphere and staff is friendly. I should say food is super super yummy. ! Will be coming again for sure.

Delicious food and wonderful staff! 5⭐️

Extremely tasty, inexpensive, and very friendly owner. I'll be back!

Not a huge selection, but delicious. Order at checkout. Music (Indian pop music) is a matter of taste.

Super delicious food in a great atmosphere. Price performance is also completely ok.

Great food and prices, quite a small restaurant, it's best to make a reservation.

Cute little Indian restaurant with a great ambience. The food is delicious and the owners are very friendly. Full recommendation!

I have never had such good Indian food. In addition to the main courses, which have a good selection but even better combination options on the menu, there is also the Naanizza, a fusion of Italian and Indian. THE HAMMER. Together with my brother, I had the aforementioned Naanizza as a starter and every “normal” Indian dish as the main course, everything was super tasty, including the typical Naan, which is included with every meal. To Scharfesser: Feel free to trust a lot, “Indian spicy” won’t kill you here. Rather a little tamer! In addition to the food, we were served in a very friendly manner and sat in a very comfortable and cozy atmosphere. I can only give my warmest recommendation, would come back! To all Cologne residents: just get in there!

One of my absolute favorite restaurants! Family run, great ambience and super delicious food.

Very tasty food! The restaurant is very small, but very cozy.

Totally cozy shop, excellent food and a super nice team. We would come back if we didn't live 600km away...

Everything was great, very tasty, great service

Incredibly delicious, very charming, nice. simply delicious, simply beautiful, simply good.

Fantastic food and very friendly staff, what more could you want. Wish I could give more stars and we'll be happy to come back!

Its small. More importantly: It's authentic

Super delicious food. Highly recommended. The nan pizza is great

Small, cute Indian restaurant with a lot of charm. The naan, which is prepared like a pizza, is definitely a recommendation. Tikka Masala was also very tasty.

Thanks to the very friendly ladies. We felt very comfortable and the food was delicious.

Incredibly delicious!!! And even when ordering (at the top) the staff only had to smile once ;)

The service was great! You were welcomed and treated with a warm, stress-free and very positive attitude. Great hospitality.

Delicious food and friendly service.

Super nice and funny service, authentic family business, we had a great evening!

Very cute and cuddly! I immediately felt very welcome by the staff. Food is super delicious. A garlic cheese naan is perfect as a starter. I had Palak Paneer Naan Pizza as my main course.

Super delicious curry, very friendly family-run restaurant and the atmosphere is really cozy

The best Indian restaurant in all of North Rhine-Westphalia. The food is incredibly delicious and addictive. Lots of choice and different levels of spiciness. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and makes you feel right at home. The owners and staff are very personable and friendly. It's definitely worth a visit.

We received a super friendly and warm welcome and, because we weren't from Cologne and wanted to eat togo, we were advised of a location on the Rhine where we could sit down. The food itself was incredibly tasty and something completely different that we haven't seen anywhere else before. It's called Nanizza and, as the name suggests, it's a pizza made from naan with an Indian topping. In my opinion a real insider tip in the area. If we're in the area again for a concert, we'd love to come back. VG Saskia and Patrick

Insanely delicious and absolutely authentic! Very tasty and just the right portion size

i was there with my boyfriend and we had a great time at Haldi spoon. Great atmosphere, instantly makes you feel at home with delicious home cooked food 😍🤤. We loved how Auntie makes sure that everything is alright. We can't thank you guys enough for the nice hospitality and feeding us the awesome Indian food in Köln🤤🤤 we would like to make it a ritual to visit Haldi Spoon whenever i visit my boyfriend☺️ Thanks for bringing us the bag 🛍️ that we left in the Restaurant 😉🙏

Very great restaurant. You can vary a lot and there is something for everyone. Price is also good, food is very tasty and good portion. The team is very sweet & nice. Gladly again 🙏🏼

Small but nice and better than expected. Go there.

Very nice owner and furnished with love

Very cozy and furnished with love.

Food was pretty good, I would like to pay by card.

Beautiful shop, small, incredibly friendly family business! And the food is really absolutely excellent, the best Indian in Cologne!

Super delicious food and friendly service

Very friendly little restaurant with really delicious food. Hospitality is very important here. Food came quickly too. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for the hospitality and the delicious food.

If I could, I would eat there every day. 5 stars are not enough!!! Hearts go out to MAMA and CO! <3

A very special place in Mühlheim with a very special owner. The Indian fusion pizza was great ❤️. Also fully vegan possible. We'll definitely be back. Feel U

Very cool and friendly shop in the middle of Mülheim. The shop is very cozy. We had the naan pizza with mango chicken and chicken tikka masala. It was really delicious! We'll be back.

For all you non-German folks going here for gamescom or other events, bring cash 😂. They do not take cards but don’t let that deter you from coming as the food is bomb! Oooh and there is an ATM 2 minutes down the road at the sparkasse :)

Charming little restaurant with Indian dishes in street food style. We enjoyed the food. Vegan gluten free options available. The portions were relatively small, so I ordered 2 main courses to fill me up. At 15 euros per dish, it felt expensive in terms of price-performance ratio. Friendly service. Pleasant atmosphere despite simple furnishings. Limited selection of food and drinks, but attractive offerings. Worth a visit if you are in the area. Only cash payment accepted.

Very tasty food. The naan pizzas are amazing. The team is very nice. Just parking there is very difficult

Sooo delicious & a very pretty little restaurant. The Mango Lassi is particularly recommended :)

Great little Indian restaurant with a uniquely colorful atmosphere. The dishes can be combined with various sauces, vegetables, chicken, cheese or soy meat to your heart's content. IMPORTANT: The restaurant only accepts cash payment. The quality of the food is top. The dishes are served with rice and naan or alternatively as pizza. The shop is a classic family business, which creates a special atmosphere. Everyone is very welcoming. The food comes very quickly, even when the restaurant is busy.

Food was very good and came quickly after ordering. Price-performance ratio is more than reasonable. Very nice service and everyone was very friendly. We'd love to come back :)

Very friendly staff and the food is really delicious and fresh 🤤😋 I can only recommend it

Very cozy place and tasty food!

Mega! Absolute recommendation, very tasty, very friendly staff and great atmosphere!

Very tasty food and especially the bread is a dream! Gladly again 🔥

Great reception. Very nice employees.

Super authentic (as far as I can tell) Indian family business with delicious food! The Naanizza, for example, is innovative and based on Indian street style! Food is actually "Indian spicy" and a Kingfisher beer is also a nice change! And everything is possible without meat! ;-) Suggestion: include the Limca Limo in your program! :-)

Such a nice surprise... I often go to Cologne... And after mediocre experiences in Mülheim, today was a real blast. I'll be eating the map up and down from now on. Food top, service 1a, ambience great. 5 points in all areas. Come here, try it out, have fun. And all of this for a really fair price. Thanks to mom for cooking... See you... 😉😋

Ask them to make it "Indian Spicy" if you like your food spicy

Never again. We ordered several different dishes that tasted the same. The food wasn't very authentic. The waitress was very unfriendly and arrogant (tall/thin/dark-skinned). NOT RECOMMENDED. There are very good Indian restaurants in Cologne. This restaurant is definitely not one of them.

Absolutely delicious!! We felt very comfortable. Clear recommendation 👍

Totally friendly! Wonderful ambience! Very very tasty! I will definitely go again!

Very good When you know a little about Indian cuisine you can get by with the menu. No payment by card only in cash and speaks little or no language other than German but I enjoyed myself so I highly recommend

Highly recommended. Nice shop, great service, great food l. 5 stars +

Very tasty 😋 I can only recommend it, a must for everyone!!!

Deserved 5 out of 5! The food is super tasty and aromatic and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. Service 1 star deduction because self-service with drinks and during the ordering process. But it doesn't really bother you. Will definitely come back! :)

Very friendly staff. Beautiful little gem with delicious food.

Small, quaint, very friendly people and very tasty! Unreservedly recommended.

So delicious! Only the sharpness: I chose the middle one out of the 3 available... there was nothing spicy there. (With spinach) may depend on the dish...but very tasty!!!

Such a beautiful restaurant with incredibly good food! 🥘

Very small Indian restaurant where all dishes can be veganized. Cool concept, very nice people. It's a shame you can't pay by card. The Naanizza is awesome.

Very tasty Indian food with an extraordinary concept. You can choose between some dishes in the classic version with rice or as a naan pizza. Everything can be ordered vegetarian and vegan, but there is meat. Everyone is very nice, just more seats would be great, it's a bit tight in places 😊

Not good, alcohol is sold here.

Unique facilities, super nice operating family, great concept, outstanding food at fair prices! The best Indian restaurant that everyone present has ever visited, really great!

Freshly cooked to the table. Small selection and very tasty 😋

Very tasty food and the workers are very nice

Super delicious food, nice ambience and very, very friendly hostess/employee 😊

I ordered tikka masala. The order was processed quickly and it tasted excellent. The staff was polite and the price was reasonable.

Eating here is like taking a short vacation to India. The atmosphere and decor of the store alone is worth a visit. The food tastes excellent and the idea of ​​serving an Indian curry on naan bread as a pizza is as simple as it is ingenious. What makes the visit perfect is the staff, who make you feel more like you are a guest at an Indian family dinner than simply in a restaurant.

If you're in the mood for Indian food, this is one of the go-to spots! Great service + delicious food :)
