Holi - Indian Restaurant & Cocktail Bar in Köln

Very nice restaurant. Food was delicious and excellent serves!

One of the best butter chickens I've ever eaten! And you can't miss the garlic cheese naan.

The best. Incredibly delicious and always friendly. The vegan dishes are amazing. I would never not recommend it 👍👍

Everything was delicious and everyone was very friendly! Top!

An absolute explosion of flavors – every detail made with love! 🌿🍛 This Indian restaurant is a true treasure! You receive a warm welcome as soon as you enter, and the atmosphere is so warm and inviting that you immediately feel at home. The team is attentive, friendly, and ensures that you feel completely at home. The food? Simply fantastic! Every dish was full of flavors, perfectly balanced, and with a depth of taste that is rarely found. Whether it was creamy butter chicken, spicy chana masala, or tender lamb – everything was fresh, lovingly prepared, and beautifully presented. The homemade naan breads and the mango lassi were also a dream! You can feel that the cooking here is done with real passion. For me, this restaurant is definitely one of the best Indian cuisines I've ever experienced – and I'll definitely be back. Absolutely recommended for anyone who loves good food and values warmth and quality. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It was great. Highly recommended.

The food tastes great, the atmosphere is cozy, and the service is very friendly!

Good restaurant, great food, very friendly service

It was a wonderful evening in a wonderful atmosphere with amazing Indian food. I especially recommend the Chicken Chana Masala and the Cheese Naan. Great service and a well-kept restaurant. A definite recommendation!

Absolutely delicious! Our first visit, and definitely not our last!

I've been visiting Holi for many years and I always enjoy coming back. The harmonious ambiance, the attentive service, and, above all, the excellent food impress me every time. The dishes are lovingly prepared, delicious, and of consistently high quality. Whether it's lunch with friends or a cozy evening with the family, this restaurant is always a first-class choice for me.

An unforgettable Holi experience – simply fantastic! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the great pleasure of visiting the Indian restaurant Holi – and it was an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you're struck by the beautiful decor. The ambiance is stylish, cozy, and designed with great attention to detail. The atmosphere invites you to linger – a perfect place to sit back and enjoy the meal to the fullest. The service was equally impressive. Sam, who served us, was extremely friendly, attentive, and warm. We immediately felt welcome. He explained the dishes to us and gave us recommendations that were simply perfect. A real highlight! And then the food – simply breathtakingly good. Every dish was full of flavor, freshly prepared, and beautifully presented. The flavors were wonderfully balanced and transported you straight to India. Whether it was the appetizer, main course, or dessert – everything was of the highest quality. Holi is not just a restaurant, it's an experience. You can feel the passion for good food and hospitality in every detail. I highly recommend this place and am already looking forward to my next visit. Many thanks to the entire team – and especially to Sam – for this wonderful evening!

**Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience at this Indian restaurant! The service was extremely friendly and attentive, which made our visit even more enjoyable. The food was simply fantastic – full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Every bite was a delight! We highly recommend this restaurant and would gladly return!

Everything was great, great food. We've been here several times.

Extremely delicious & super friendly service

I really enjoy eating here; the food is always incredibly delicious. The service is also perfect.

Great food, very nice staff, I think everything is great here

My first Indian experience, and it was very good. Lovely shop and, for me, surprisingly reasonable prices.

As a coincidence we passed by this small local South İndian Restaurant. What a feast, Chicken Biryani, Thali, Butter Salmon , Naan etc soooo delicious! We will definitely come again this amazing food!

Great service and incredibly delicious food! 33 🫶🏼

Super delicious food and very friendly service, always again!☺️ 33🫶🏻

Very tasty food and friendly service. Highly recommended. 33 Best Man.

Very tasty, good eating recommendation,

highly recommended, delicious food at reasonable prices

Very delicious Indian food! Excellent quality. We've really enjoyed everything so far. But the samosas with garlic naan... are addictive. I could eat them every day.

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

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

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.

Super delicious, attentive staff!

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.

Very tasty food and good service!

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

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…

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!

Top quality, we'll be happy to 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.

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

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

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

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!

Very nice atmosphere and delicious Indian cuisine!

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

Everything was delicious! Very good service!

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. ✨

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

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 :)

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

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 🫶🏼

It's always nice to eat here :)

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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

Delicious!. I recommend the naan mix

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

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!

I come here often and always enjoy it

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

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

Great recommendation! All around everything was great.

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

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.

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.

Very nice atmosphere, nice staff and great food

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

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.

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! :)

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

Super tasty and very attentive staff, gladly again!

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 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.

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 ☺️

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