Haweli in Köln

Sehr lecker und sehr freundlich

Das war das schlechteste Essen, das ich je gegessen habe. Der Paneer war steinhart und gummiartig. Ich glaube, das Essen war auch noch altbacken. Wirklich widerlich, dieser Laden muss so schnell wie möglich geschlossen werden.

Einfach ein sehr sehr gutes Essen. Selten so gut indisch gegessen! Riesige Portionen.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Schöne Terasse. Super leckeres Essen. Gerne wieder.

Die Thekenkraft Rajif ist ein sehr sympathischer junger Mann der weiß wie man mit Gästen umgeht, fachlich und ein gelernter Gastronom. Das Team schafft es aus einem Restaurant ein Zuhause zu machen, wo man gerne seine Freizeit verbringt.

Für mich persönlich klar das beste indische Restaurant in ganz Köln! Ich habe vor ein paar Jahren beruflich Lahore in Pakistan besucht und dort ein Biryani gegessen, das exakt so geschmeckt hat wie bei Haweli in Köln. Sehr authentische Gerichte! Wer freundlich nachfragt, bekommt auch alles in original indischer Schärfe. Immer freundliches Personal!

Ich habe schon in vielen indischen Restaurants in Köln gegessen, aber der Geschmack hier ist einfach fantastisch. Ich habe hier Malai Kofta und Shahi Paneer gegessen. Ich kann es jedem nur empfehlen, das einmal zu probieren.

Hervorragender Service. Köstliches Essen. Unglaubliche Freundlichkeit. Ich habe mich wie zu Hause gefühlt.

Sehr leckeres Essen 🥘 Ich liebe es 😍❤️ Ich komme wieder 😀

Leckeres Essen, super coole Jungs. Service Top. Kann ich weiterempfehlen 10/10!!!

Das Essen ist sehr sehr gut. Wir waren schon in vielen indischen Restaurants, aber nirgends war es so gut, wie im Haweli. Der Chef und das gesamte Team ist mega nett und erfüllt auch gerne Sonderwünsche. Wenn das Wetter schön ist, kann man super entspannt auf der Terrasse sitzen & essen. Das Butter Chicken hat schon Suchtfaktor. Alles sehr empfehlenswert.

Durchaus authentisches und sehr schmackhaftes Essen.

Ich war kürzlich im Haweli Restaurant essen und bin wirklich begeistert! Das Essen war unglaublich lecker – frisch, authentisch und perfekt gewürzt. Man merkt sofort, dass hier mit viel Liebe gekocht wird. Auch der Service war einfach top: freundlich, aufmerksam und sehr herzlich, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Man fühlt sich direkt willkommen und gut aufgehoben. Insgesamt ein rundum gelungenes Erlebnis. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder und kann das Restaurant absolut weiterempfehlen!

Das Essen war in Ordnung. Es war authentisches indisches Essen.

Wir haben Essen bestellt und würden leider nicht noch einmal bestellen. Es war lecker, aber eher durchschnittlich. Leider war es dafür extrem teuer. Ein Hauptgericht ca. 20€. Zudem haben wir 2 x Naanbrot bestellt. Dieses hat insgesamt 7,80€ gekostet und war eine kleine Flade in zwei Hälften geteilt. Hätte ich nicht gewusst, dass es zwei Portionen sind, hätte ich es nichtmal für eine gehalten. Das war das mit Abstand teuerste Brot meines Lebens für die sehr kleine Portion.

Eins der besten Restaurants! Das Essen ist ein Traum genauso wie das Mango Lassi!! Und die Mitarbeiter sind einfach nur total nett und zuvorkommend.

Sehr nette Mitarbeiter und wirklich leckereres Essen. Ich empfehle dieses Restaurant uneingeschränkt!

Dieses Restaurant ist wirklich ein Geheimtipp im Kölner Süden. Ich mag besonders die vegetarischen Gerichte wie Aloo Baingon 🙌

Habe gestern lecker gespeist. Der Reis war genauso lecker wie das Fleisch.

Für mich als Inderin die erste und letzte Wahl..das Essen ist erste Klasse, mega lecker und der Service total aufmerksam und kinderlieb. Haweli hat auch unser Hochzeitscatering in der Wolkenburg übernommen. Unsere Gäste kamen nicht aus dem schwärmen raus ❤️ Wir können uns nur bedanken und werden immer wiederkommen 😊🪷

Tolles Essen, haben schon mehrmals zum abholen bestellt. Immer super freundlich und wenn es mal länger dauert wird immer voher Bescheid gesagt

Ich liebe dieses Restaurant 🌶️🇮🇳 Jedes Gericht ist ein kleines Geschmackserlebnis – würzig, frisch und perfekt abgestimmt. Das Team ist super freundlich und immer gut gelaunt. Man merkt, dass hier mit Herz gekocht wird. 100 % Empfehlung! 🙌

Bestellt habe ich 2x Butter chicken einmal als vegetarisch Geschmacklich in Ordnung aber 3,90€ für ein einziges Garlic Naan was auch relativ geschmacksneutral war finde ich extrem frech Weiß nicht ob ich hier nochmal bestelle

Wir waren für den Mittagstisch das erste Mal bei Haweli und waren echt begeistert. Für 14€ pro Gericht bekommt man echt viel für sein Geld inklusive Reis und Naan. Außerdem ist es richtig cool, dass Klassiker wie Butter Chicken auch mit impossible Chicken zubereitet werden können und somit von vegetarisch oder vegan essenden Personen gegessen werden können. Personal war zudem sehr freundlich. Super Restaurant in Zollstock, wir kommen gerne wieder 🤩

Ich war mit meine Familie am 06.02.2026 Im Haweli .Im Haweli wird man schon beim Ankommen herzlich empfangen.Das Resturant ist sehr sauber,beste Service, schmackhaft Essen.♥️🌹🙏

Sehr leckeres Essen, super nette Mitarbeiter und ein schönes Ambiente! Wir gehen sehr gerne bei Haweli essen und lieben es!

Super freundliches, zuvorkommendes Team und authentisch leckeres Essen!

Die Portionen sind sehr klein.... Gehen Sie nicht dorthin, suchen Sie sich lieber ein anderes indisches Restaurant.....

Sehr leckere Indische Küche mit Authentischen Essen. Klassiker sowie moderne Gerichte sind sehr zu empfehlen.

Heute Abend zum 2. Mal da gewesen. Welch eine freundlichkeit. Super Service. Freundlich und zuvorkommend. Lecker Essen. Preis Leistung mehr als gut. Kommen gerne wieder. Man fühlt sich mehr als willkommen. Danke!!!!

Indisch zu essen ist immer ein Erlebnis, wenn die Speisen mit Liebe zubereitet sind. Das ist im Haweli der Fall. Chicken tikka marsala ist wunderbar und die Portion üppig. Dazu kommt das freundliche Personal, das sich angenehm einbringt. Die Überraschung ist ein indischer Chenin blanc, der eine milde Würzigkeit in sich trägt. Gerne komme ich wieder.

Ein Restaurant, in dem man sich willkommen fühlt. Freundliche, sympathische Atmosphäre. Das Essen - sensationell. Wird wohl mein neuer Lieblings Inder in Köln!

Wir haben dort Essen für eine Feier bestellt, lief alles bestens, leckeres Essen, gute Beratung der Speisen und insgesamt sehr gute Kommunikation.

Volle Fünf Sterne! Wir waren heute das erste Mal zu viert im Haweli und haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Ambiente ist toll, die Servicekräfte sind super nett und das Essen war bei jedem von uns richtig gut. Für die super Qualität sind die Preise angenehm moderat. Wir sind begeistert und werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

The food was quite tasty. Friendly service. A bit pricey. The only downside was the bread, naan, which was disappointing. Too small and too dry. And you couldn't really taste the garlic at all, which was a shame.

Unfortunately, none of the diverse Indian spices you experience in other Indian restaurants were present. Two dishes: one with tomato, cream, and sugar, and the other with an excess of paprika powder. Next time, I'll go to the competition.

Good food and friendly service, the price-performance ratio is also right, I'd gladly come back here.

Excellent food and very friendly service! The dishes are fresh, authentic, and taste amazing. You immediately feel at ease – highly recommended. 😊

Delicious Indian food, fast service, and a lovely atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

We ordered from Haweli for the first time today and are extremely satisfied. The butter chicken tastes fantastic, and the naan bread is delicious too. We would definitely order from here again anytime.

We had the food delivered. The packaging was very sturdy and nothing leaked. The butter chicken tasted great and the portion was generous. I'll only order Indian food from here from now on :)

Delicious Indian food at a very fair price! Special praise to the staff – you're always super friendly, it's a real mood booster :)

The food is good, but the takeaway discount is a bit misleading. Lunch in the shop costs €13.50 with bread and rice. However, the takeaway price for the same dish with bread and rice is €13.20, even though a 20% discount is advertised, as the menu only lists dishes with rice. It seems more like marketing than a genuine discount upon closer inspection. Otherwise, the staff are always very friendly.

At Haweli, you receive a warm welcome upon arrival – even before ordering, you're served crispy papadums while you browse the menu at your leisure. A lovely, authentic start to the evening. I chose the Impossible Chicken Butter – a completely vegan dish – and was pleasantly surprised. It was full of flavor, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. A great option for anyone who eats plant-based food or simply wants to try something new. The service is exceptionally attentive, friendly, and always present without being intrusive. You feel completely at ease. A particular highlight: The restaurant boasts a cozy backyard terrace, which is a real treat in the summer – perfect for relaxing and winding down the evening. Overall, a highly recommended restaurant for anyone who appreciates good Indian cuisine, warm service, and a pleasant atmosphere.

One of the best Indian restaurants in Cologne. Authentically seasoned and not toned down for Western tastes. Very varied menu. Unfortunately, the lunch buffet is no longer offered. Update from November 8, 2025: I must add that all the staff are extremely friendly and service-oriented...but the owner really does everything he can. I haven't been disappointed once in the last 10 years 😍

I've rarely eaten such bad butter chicken. It had nothing to do with butter chicken. Unfortunately, it was completely liquid, and the naan bread was a joke. I can't recommend this place.

Delicious food – but not for those who can't handle spicy food. Even the dishes listed on the menu as not spicy at all were borderline for me. The service was very friendly and extremely accommodating if something wasn't quite right (they immediately offered to prepare my food again with less spice). The mango lassis are divine.

Perfect! The food was great, the advice and service were super friendly, the two owners are really wonderful! There were six of us, and we felt very comfortable, and the food was outstanding. Even the spiciest dish on the menu was wonderfully flavorful despite its heat. We'll definitely be back. Thank you!

Excellent advice, fast service. Which was great because people arrived at different times. It was delicious!

Today was my first time at an Indian restaurant in Cologne with my girlfriend, and I felt really comfortable at Haweli. We received a warm welcome and were served promptly. The staff were super friendly and personable, the ambiance was truly beautiful and inviting, and the food was first-class. Super deliciously seasoned, tender meat, and super tasty palak paneer. Thank you so much for this delicious meal. We'll be back!

I have been to the restaurant a few times. Their chicken jalfrezi is good but shahi paneer was really bland. The naan is crispy as opposed to a soft butter naan. They could not follow my instructions well about the food. If you really want authentic Indian food, I would not recommend this place.

We love Haweli's curry and order from this wonderful restaurant very regularly. Thank you so much!

Well, I didn't think the butter chicken was good at all. It was practically unseasoned, as you'd expect from Indian cuisine, and tasted more like a watery tomato sauce with a hint of spice. Either I was just incredibly unlucky with my portion, or the people who rated it as good have simply never had a truly good Indian meal. I wouldn't give the restaurant another chance because of this experience.

Simply fantastic! We were absolutely thrilled! Super delicious food, really friendly service – you immediately feel at home. The portions are generous, the quality is good, and the prices are really fair. Absolutely recommend it!

Perfect Indian food! We spontaneously chose this place and had butter chicken, and it was fantastic! 🔝 For dessert, there was an excellent mango lassi. Thank you so much! We'll be back!

The food was tasty and the staffs were friendly. I will definitely go back again.

Both the service and the food were excellent. The food arrived very well-organized. A high feel-good factor. We'll be back.

Delicious food, friendly staff and delicious mango lassis

My favorite restaurant here in Cologne. The food is consistently delicious, the spiciness (from mild to very hot) is perfect, and the service is great!

Lord. It's magnificent, it's delicious, it's friendly. Go there if you're hungry after Gamescom. Or even just hungry. You can eat at a restaurant like this all year round!

A must-try! For years, we've enjoyed the friendly, attentive service and the incredibly delicious food every time we visit. The variety of flavors on the dishes appeals to both vegetarians and meat-eaters in our family. A 100% recommendation.

Very good food, friendly, attentive service. I'd gladly go back.

All the staff are always in such a good mood and incredibly friendly! Ordering by phone always goes smoothly. We even had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding there with 20 people in February, and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very welcoming. The food is incredibly delicious, and the spice levels indicated are always perfectly matched. Keep up the good work – a truly culinary enrichment for Zollstock!

I haven't eaten anything Tandori Chicken Roses are red I think I have to fart

We had a delicious and authentic meal. We had a selection of starters and main courses recommended. Everything was made with love. The service was very good. We sat outside. Highly recommended.

I always enjoy coming here, nice staff and delicious food

In my opinion, the best Indian food in Cologne. I hope it stays that way. 🙏 I'll be back anytime.

Radjif is the best, and the food is amazing! We're absolutely thrilled and will definitely be back!

Rajif was a great server and treated us to a lovely evening with delicious food. Definitely recommend!

Rajif is very competent and good-looking.

Very good food, service impeccable and always in a good mood, great atmosphere, top shop

EDIT 2: Sorry, but my reading comprehension isn't so good. EDIT 1: Thanks for your reply. Don't worry, the restaurants mentioned also serve North Indian dishes. No one has to eat at Haweli. I have to admit, your Google photos look better, too; maybe they just serve a reduced quality at Wolt? I also highly recommend Haldi Spoon in Mühlheim. And hey, if you look at the photo of Thali or have ever eaten at Royal Punjabi, you'll just have to agree with me. I bet none of you in the kitchen eat your repeatedly fried onion bahjis—they were just terrible! My butter chicken was far too uninterestingly seasoned and at least didn't have much butter in it. My husband's tikka sauce was about half a day too old, and the meat wasn't marinated long enough. The onion bahjis, uh, weren't my cup of tea: too dense, so the chickpea flour didn't cook properly. The best were the mixed pickles from Patak's, which we still had in a jar in the fridge. Sad but true. I'll repeat myself: you have to order from Saravana Bhavana or Chennai Chef in Nippes (govardhan if you're full-on). Any other Indian food doesn't make sense in Cologne. Plus points: large portions, perfectly fine rice (but without spices). The kulfi was also good - though I don't have much expertise in that area. I was dazzled by the Wolt offer :-(

A cozy restaurant with attentive staff. The food was spicy, as you'd expect from an Indian restaurant, and at a fair price. We'll be back.

Haweli is an institution for Indian food in Cologne. The butter chicken with naan was delicious, and the service was very friendly.

Very friendly, super fast, and of course the food tastes great—there's not much more to say.

It's made with love, and the food is super delicious! Very friendly staff and lots of options to try different dishes!

I had the butter chicken with rice and naan bread. It was incredibly delicious, and the meat was tender as butter. Unfortunately, there were only two thin naan breads available, which is quite steep for an extra €3. I would definitely order again.

Rajif is an attentive and informed service worker ;)

Congratulations on your 10th anniversary! The menu was delicious and your service was top-notch! I'd love to come back :-)

Very good food and super friendly staff. We felt completely at home, were stuffed, and would love to come back. Thank you very much.

Very good Indian food, very nice and friendly staff who are very accommodating. The food was very good.

Super delicious Indian food at a great price (you should definitely take advantage of the pickup discount!) + very friendly service

Super delicious and authentic. Divine taste.

Super delicious food and incredibly friendly service! I'd love to go back :)

The food is always delicious, there's a lovely patio/courtyard, and the service is outstanding! Very friendly and funny staff – a big recommendation for Indian food :)

Very tasty and very friendly service! We had a great evening :)

Simply delicious food and even friendlier service. We're already looking forward to the next time!

I was extremely impressed. Very tasty, excellent service and advice!

We discovered Haweli while looking for a restaurant in the area. The good reviews were ultimately the deciding factor. After our first visit, we immediately became repeat customers and enjoy coming back whenever it's convenient and we're in the area, so we've tried a variety of dishes. So far, we've enjoyed everything, although we've become a little more cautious with the very spicy dishes (three chilies). The staff warns you before ordering that the food is spicy, but if you don't want to listen, you'll just have to eat it. The papadum with tamarind sauce, which is served beforehand, is also delicious. Overall, Haweli is a recommendation, and we'd be happy to return.

One of the best restaurants in Cologne. The hospitality was surprisingly top-notch, and the food was tastier than expected. Five stars aren't enough. I ordered butter chicken.

i really love the ambiance and my favorite is butter chicken with naan. the people are very kind too!

Super friendly service and delicious food. Highly recommended.

It was so great! Both servers were very attentive and courteous. We received detailed advice on our order, and the food was excellent.

I warmly recommend this Indian restaurant. I was always welcome, and the food was delicious.

By chance, I just ordered a pickup order through Wolt, as I was just around the corner. The specified preparation time was perfectly adhered to. Furthermore, the food was well packaged and served piping hot. I received a friendly greeting upon pickup. And, in the end, everything (butter chicken and naan) tasted absolutely amazing.

100% recommended!! Top-notch service, super friendly, and the food is also delicious. I've been here several times and it's always a great visit. 🥰 Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy delicious Indian food in Cologne :)

The service was very good and friendly. The food was delicious!

Delicious food and very friendly service!

Very good restaurant! I've been there several times and it's always been very good! Very good and many vegan dishes! Definitely the Indian restaurant with the best service!

Thank you Haweli team. The best Indian food in Cologne with great service. It's so incredibly delicious.
