Holi - Indian Restaurant & Cocktail Bar in Köln

The chana masala was perfect. If you don't like spicy food, go for mild. Normal is already tingling ;)

The food was delicious. I'd happily come back again.

Very delicious food and very friendly staff. We were pleased with the waiter and the service and felt very welcome. We recommend everyone to eat here.

Super delicious, attentive staff!

The food, and especially important for me, the vegan selection, was excellent. The quiet street setting invites you to linger and enjoy a relaxed meal. It was my first visit, but certainly not my last.

Very tasty food and good service!

Ordered - chicken pakora ✅, aloo tikki 👍, Chicken biriyani 🤨 but ok, chilli paneer 🧐( it was tasting fully tomato ketchup ), chicken tandoori 😖 very old chicken smelling bad. Mango lassi and namkeen lassi is watery than other Köln restaurants. Liked the service chaps there… But what else to say… don’t go for tasty food We paid full bill, left the food as it is…

Very nice ambiance, great food, excellent service, and no long wait times at all. Highly recommended!

Amazing food. We ordered a veg thali and matka chicken; the kheer in thali was amazing (slightly different than normal kheer). The starters were also good

Super delicious food with very friendly service. Highly recommended.

Super delicious! We'll definitely be back.

I don't quite understand all the good reviews. The food doesn't have the intense flavor you'd expect from a good Indian restaurant. The naan wasn't salted properly, and the chicken was a bit dry. The only explanation I can give for these reviews is that many people in the area haven't tried authentic Indian food yet.

The food was excellent, we will definitely come back!

We ordered, and 45 minutes later on a holiday (totally fair), the food arrived piping hot. Everything was delicious and seemed freshly prepared. The taste was fantastic. We'll order again.

Top quality, we'll be happy to come back 👌

Delicious food, delicious drinks, authentic and friendly service. Unfortunately on the main road, but still a very pleasant environment.

Delicious food and super friendly service! Great atmosphere and a wide selection of dishes—definitely worth a visit.

Fast and friendly service, delicious food (and definitely sufficient portions), all in all, top-notch!

Very delicious food, mango lassi, and the ice cream! Again and again

Awesome food. Thali and Butter Panner was the highlight.

Very cozy atmosphere and great staff, not to mention the fantastic food.

You simply feel at home at Holi! Delicious food, good cocktails, and outstanding service round out the evening!

Everything was delicious! Very good service!

Really delicious and so friendly staff!! Definitely recommend!!

Very nice atmosphere and delicious Indian cuisine!

Very tasty food. The Matka Biryani is highly recommended. Also, the cocktails are really delicious.

Superb Indian cuisine and a wonderful ambiance. Very warm and cheerful service. Highly recommended. ✨

I've rarely experienced such attentive and friendly service as from Jaskaran. (I'd even give it 6 stars, honestly.) The food, with his personal recommendation, was also truly outstanding, along with the very good cocktails. Very fair value for money! We'll definitely be back :)

Excellent food. Very clean Restaurant. Very good Service and friendly people.

We were there last night with friends, had a delicious meal, and felt very comfortable. What was even better was that everyone was given mango lassi in shot glasses as a farewell treat.

Great food and excellent service ❤️

The best I've ever tried, congratulations.

Delicious food, great atmosphere and great service

It's always nice to eat here :)

The food was delicious (10/10) and the atmosphere was cozy and warm. The staff was very lovely and friendly. Without a doubt, it's a place I would return to and recommend to any lover of good Indian food 🫶🏼

Wow! The food was absolutely delicious. I'd love to go back!

The food was delicious and plentiful. It was a new experience, as it was the first Indian restaurant I'd ever eaten at, and I was blown away. The service was very friendly.

Already the second time there. Very tasty and would gladly return.

Delicious!. I recommend the naan mix

The best experience! Such a sweet lady who helped us, best food!

One of the best places i have ever had for Indian food, the price is good and it really delicious! We are vegetarian and the dishes were all tasty.

Very tasty, nice service, tastefully decorated restaurant. Happy to come back!

Absolutely delicious discovered them while on my trip to Cologne. Wanted to go back just to experience the deliciousness again. Warm welcome. They even gave me a homemade infusion for my throat because I was coughing a lot. Heartily recommend!

I had a nice evening. The service responded perfectly to feedback. It tasted delicious and was very flavorful. I'd love to come back

Despite the new interior, the quality of the food has decreased for me after the change of ownership. The food tasted bland throughout and lacked the Indian sophistication of the dishes. As an experienced traveler to India, it was just disappointing for me and my family.

Very tasty food and nice staff!

Very very tasty and friendly. We'd love to come back.

I come here often and always enjoy it

Great recommendation! All around everything was great.

Very nice people and very tasty food. Ambiance is great, gladly again!

Very nice atmosphere, nice staff and great food

We were really excited about the visit! The naan bread was super fluffy and fresh. The tikka style chicken was incredibly tender and perfectly seasoned, you can taste the quality and attention to detail. The curry was also a real treat.

My father and I had Indian food here for the first time. Absolutely recommended! Great food, the service is excellent and the ambience was pleasantly calm and relaxed.

It tastes very good here, very nice service. I like to come eat here 👍

The food was excellent! the staff super welcoming! thank you very much for this wonderful culinary experience!

Very tasty restaurant. No matter what you order, it is always delicious. The staff is nice and accommodating. We always enjoy coming here.

Wir haben das vegetarische Menü (Dal, Gemüsecurry, Käse in Buttersoße, Raita, Milchreis , Pickels und Naan) , Samosa als Vorspeise und Spinat mit Kartoffeln und Reis gegessen. Alles war sehr köstlich und sehr unterschiedlich fein mit Gewüzen abgestimmt. Wenn die vielen Cocktails auch so gut sind wie das Essen, kann es eine lange Nacht werden, wenn man das möchte. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall gerne wieder und können das Restaurant sehr empfehlen.

Delicious food great atmosphere and staff very welcoming and efficient, would totally recommend !

Everything was great, we'll always be happy to come back! There hasn't been a dish here that I didn't like. The conditions are super nice and competent! :)

I eat Indian food often and absolutely love it — and Holi truly impressed me! The food was incredibly authentic and flavorful, the atmosphere was warm, and the staff were super friendly. One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to in Cologne!

Very good Indian cuisine and super friendly service.

Excellent on all levels - price/performance a dream - super nice operators and chilled atmosphere - definitely check it out when you are in Cologne - your Marco Bock, restaurant critic

Food was extremely good. Butter chicken and cheese naan is highly recommended.

The food was very tasty, I can only recommend the chicken curry and generally lamb. The staff are very nice and the service is quick. Definitely 5 stars from me

Great Indian restaurant. Taste wise a 10 out of 10, super friendly and personable service. The next time we are in Cologne, we would love to come back here.

Very tasty food and friendly staff.

Super tasty and very attentive staff, gladly again!

Great service and very family friendly. The food is delicious and the price/performance ratio is top notch

Food tasted good. Service was great. Gladly again!

Super good and really tasty! Gladly again!

Friendly staff and good food. We'd love to come back

The food tastes very good! In my opinion the best in Cologne! The Mango Chicken in particular is highly recommended.

Super delicious food and very nice service. Always happy ☺️

The ambience is okay, but as is often the case, you have to do without a tablecloth. The service doesn't do anything wrong, but it doesn't make much effort either. The menu is very large - here, like at a Chinese snack bar, you vary the basic ingredients (chicken, lamb, etc.) with various sauces instead of specializing in a few really good dishes. This results in a certain carelessness in the preparation. Anyone who thinks they will experience authentic Indian cuisine here has never been to India. The Chicken Korma, for example, has a sauce that tastes exactly like the one that German home-style restaurants have been pouring out of the bucket for “Chicken Schnitzel Indian” for decades. The explosion of spices in Indian dishes cannot even be guessed at; “spicy” has nothing in common with Indian spiciness. The prices charged for this mediocrity are surprisingly ambitious. Overall, an experience you can't live without.

One of the best indian restaurant in Köln which is actually good.. they staff is very welcoming and friendly

Super nice atmosphere with very, very tasty food! The service was also great. Also really recommended for delivery!

Super nice service. Fresh delicious food. Very happy again.

Very good! Lots of vegetarian/vegan options

Really delicious food, nice staff.

Delicious and authentic Indian cuisine! Always a highlight.

Very good and high quality food, nice and courteous staff. We'd love to come back.

Four of us (plus a friend's little dog) were there for the first time because she already knew the restaurant and absolutely raved about it - and she was right! The food was really tasty, fresh and well seasoned. Our wishes (not too spicy) were met very well, which we thought was really great. The service was very friendly and relaxed, we felt comfortable. Priced really fairly for what you get. We'd love to come back!

Very friendly service and the food is really delicious. Very positively surprised!

The restaurant is simply furnished. The chairs are very comfortable and cozy. The staff is very friendly, polite and attentive. The drinks are delicious and taste great. My Mango Love was also very well decorated. The food is a poem. From the Nan bread with garlic to our various main courses and the dessert (pistachio ice cream, mango lassi), everything was delicious and rich. We'll be back.

Super tasty, friendly staff and great prices. Gladly again 😊👍

Very tasty, cozy and totally nice. Quick preparation, friendly service

Unfortunately, it didn't live up to our low expectations. The food didn't taste fresh enough to us. When asked, the waitress didn't know and wanted to ask. But there was no answer. The biryani was tasty but not authentically Indian. We tried the restaurant but will not come again due to the bad experience. Maybe try authentic Indian food in the future. Then maybe again

Delicious food. Rice & naan is refilled free of charge. Great service & very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Been there for the first time. I hadn't eaten Indian food in a long time. It was very tasty and the service was great. It was a nice evening. It's a bit out of the way in Cologne, but it's definitely worth the trip.

Very tasty and attentive service

Food is great!!! I can only recommend it again and again ☺️ The service staff is also super nice

Wonderful, friendly service, great ambience and really delicious food! Come often and with pleasure!

Very tasty food, very nice service and a very nice seating area

Always delicious! A real recommendation!

The food is super delicious. I had the Chicken Tikka Massala and it was great. The mango lassi was also great. 😋 As always! The service is always incredibly nice and warm. Decoration is also beautiful.

Clear recommendation - very tasty food and the friendliest, nicest service I have ever experienced!

A truly fantastic Indian restaurant with authentic food and a very cozy atmosphere. You can choose whether you want to eat in or have it conveniently delivered to your home. The dishes are delicious, fresh, and lovingly prepared. Unfortunately, the prices are quite high, but the quality partly justifies this. I would especially recommend the butter chicken with naan bread and rice – even though it's not the most traditional Indian dish, it's a real highlight in terms of flavor.

As delicious as always Always happy to come here😁😁

Honestly one of the best indian restaurants I’ve got to the chance to taste. The service was very pleasant and the food incredibly delicious. Thant you so much, I will come back ♥️♥️

Friendly staff, delicious food. Always happy to come back
