Kielär Restaurant in Kiel

Very good food in a nice restaurant. Down-to-earth Indian cuisine at a reasonable price. The service is attentive, and despite the full house, food and drinks don't take long to arrive. It's often busy at the moment—reservations recommended.

The food is prepared according to local tradition and quite delicious... There were four of us, and everyone ordered something different, including two vegetarian dishes, which were also well received. If you're really hungry, you should order appetizers... If you like spicy food, you'll get your money's worth here. I neglected to ask for less spicy spice...so that's my own fault... I would have liked a larger beer selection. The service here is friendly and responsive to special requests. The price/performance ratio is acceptable. This place may not be ideal for wheelchair users, as there are stairs in the entrance area and to the restrooms.

Delicious Indian cuisine! We'd love to come back. Highly recommended!

I ordered a lamb biryani on wolt. What I got was just tomato rice without any meat in it. Food is spicy and tangy

We were there last night and the food was really good. It took a while to arrive, but it was warm and delicious.

Very tasty food and friendly service! Thank you very much, we will definitely come back 😊 great selection of vegetarian and vegan variants!

Excellent food, attentive service, real prices. A recommendation! Thanks to the Indian team who run the still new restaurant with enthusiasm and dedication. Keep it up! 😉

We ate at Mazala for the first time yesterday. According to the website, the dishes were supposed to be "European-adapted", but unfortunately our dishes, which were labeled as rather mild, were far too spicy, so we couldn't finish them. That was a shame, as I can otherwise tolerate mild spiciness, even in other Indian restaurants. But the naan and drinks were very tasty. Since we were the first guests, it was still very cold - perhaps the heating could be turned on a little earlier in the future :)

A highly recommended restaurant with authentic cuisine. So far, every visit has been a great experience in a beautiful atmosphere. The staff is very friendly, careful and attentive. Big compliments to the kitchen, we'll be back. Thank you.

The food was by far the best I have had in germany

I agree with most of the reviews, only the music was a bit too loud for me. I ate a Lamb Biryani and can highly recommend it, really very tasty! PS: I like spicy food

Very tasty food, staff were very nice. I can only recommend it!

Authentic Indian food with excellent service and atmosphere. Highly recommended!

The ambience was good, but the food was not good at all. The curries were uncooked and naans were served cold at first but later they heated on demand. Didn't really meet the indian food expectations (not even close). Also, the service was bad. I won't recommend it. Just editing it for clarity on the reply from owner: Just for clarification purposes. In my multiple visits that was mentioned, there was no free food. The bill was completely paid for and it was only the last visit, where upon asked for a review of the food a dessert was offered to us. In good faith no food was ever returned as well. So stop insinuating things and learn how to take some criticism when running a business. It's one thing to reply to negative reviews and other to take it up on your ego. Start accepting that there can be mistakes from your side as well :) All the best.

It was my first time here - I felt that the food was not upto the expectation of Indian tasting and was not cooked completely. There was a lot of raw masala taste in the gravy. Ambience was decent. Price is expensive for the small portion too.

We had a very nice evening with good food and friendly service. Happy all around

We visited Mazala for the first time today, even though we live around the corner. In short: The food is so awesome! My Chicken Makhani was incredibly good! My partner’s biryani as well. As a starter we had naan with the spicy green dip, which was also excellent. Clear 5 🌟

Really good authentic indian food. Must visit place in Kiel

Best Indian food in Kiel, real authentic same as India

My new favorite in Kiel. The best restaurant for Indian cuisine. Lots of dishes and great value for money too. Unfortunately no lunch.

We had a delicious meal here and were served very nicely. We'll definitely go there again! All the best to Vipul and his team.

Authentic food. It was very tasty, varied and the prices were down to earth. Only the menu could be somewhat clearer. We would be happy to come back and recommend it to others.

100% authentic. More than curry! A little trip to India with a taste explosion!

Delicious butter chicken, Friendly service 😀

Very authentic, very tasty, very Indian! Great to have you here!

Authentic cuisine, very friendly staff

We ordered the food. Food was very spicy even though there was no mention of it on the menu. A better classification on the map would be helpful here :( Price performance okay. Answer to the reaction from the owner: this must be a mistake or an automatic response. We didn't eat in the restaurant on site, but ordered the food and had it delivered. Accordingly, we did not receive any other, milder dish.

We made a reservation we arrived on time. They gave a menu after asking 3 times. We waited for drinks for 1 hour. Now we have been waiting 1 hour 10 minutes for food. Everybody came after us ate and left. We are still waiting. It was big mistake to come to this unorganized place. Never ever again.

Authentic Indian cuisine, excellent taste, very nice and courteous staff - we will definitely come back!

Very good service, polite and courteous. The food was super tasty and sufficient :) We'd love to come back

The food was so delicious. Totally amazing !!

We were visiting from Hamburg and were really impressed by the food. We don't want to downplay the fact that the service was very sweet and warm - but the food was simply terrific! If Indian food could always taste like this, we would want to eat it every day! Thank you very much for everything! ❤️

The restaurant got a nice ambience. The food was amazing. The food made me filled with nostalgia for my home.

This restaurant truly captures the essence of Indian hospitality! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a great dining experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend the butter chicken and garlic naan! "Will definitely be coming back!"

The food is definitely not the reason for my bad rating. Unfortunately, the service in this restaurant is incredibly bad - no one knows what everyone else is doing, everything is completely chaotic and almost every order goes wrong in some way. We were also asked to leave the restaurant after 2 hours because the table had been reassigned. Of these 2 hours we waited 1 hour for food.

Good food, great service! Recommendation - Yes!!!

Perfect Indian food, delicious beer, good service. Can only be recommended.

Super delicious authentic Indian food. Top service and quick service. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Gladly again

The food was authentic, but unfortunately simple and some side dishes were missing. Only when I asked was it explained to me that they didn't have some ingredients in stock. Service friendly, tried hard but unfortunately not good. Given the prices, you'd expect better, cancel service, information about missing ingredients before ordering.

Totally delicious authentic Indian food! Very friendly service. Has become our regular restaurant! Absolutely recommended! However, a bit cold in winter, so dress a little warmer 🥰

Very nice service and great food!

The only authentic Indian restaurant in Kiel. The food is very delicious and well presented. The portion sizes are good. Good option to choose from even for vegans. Highly recommend. The place gets busy do suggest to make reservations.

The food was very, very tasty. The atmosphere is great and the service is very friendly. A beautiful restaurant in Kiel.

I have only ordered food from Mazala. Haven't been to the restaurant yet. In my opinion, the food is great! I think Kiel was really missing a good Indian restaurant. But not anymore! I love how it's actually the spice level that I, as an Indian would expect from Indian food. The masala they use is not overpowering & is very balanced. The service has been very nice & I've ordered multiple times (planning to order again tonight lol). I take pride in the fact that I don't order food and instead cook most of the time, but this restaurant is going to change that for sure. And I am not complaining. ❤️

Super delicious food and nice atmosphere.

Thank you for a great evening with such delicious food...! Very nice service and an insight into Indian culture! We would be happy to come back and wish you much success with your great restaurant!

Super delicious, the food, the service 👍🏻

Oh that was a wonderful experience at Mazala and the food was really tasty. Especially the Butter chicken and Garlic Naan😋😋😋😋

We were there with 6 people and everything was just good. The food was delicious, the service was very friendly. Price performance absolutely fine! Everything was fine, we'll be back.

We spontaneously called at 9 p.m. and asked if we could come over. The waiter gave us great advice and recommended us the No. 1 option. We were even able to pre-order food over the phone and didn't have to wait when we arrived. The food was so delicious. We had the Mazala lemonade, butter chicken, the No. 1 & two garlic breads and a dessert. The amount of food was so good that we had some packed up. We were surprised ourselves that we have such a great restaurant in Kiel. We will definitely come back next time and would highly recommend this restaurant. Addition: We met the owner when we said goodbye. Totally nice man. We even got to try “Indian Smarties”. These were tiny, colorful anise and fennel crumbs with a sugar coating. And there was even a mango lassi on the house. 😊

Amazing food, and service! Best lamm byriani I ever had. It has a lot of meat with flavourful basmati rice. ❤️

Food was fantastic and the mango lassi was delicious, especially the paneer lababdar is highly recommended. I will come back!

We had a nice dinner here on a weekend. It was full but staff were kind and helpful. I highly recommend Briyani! The pic is Veg pakora

Five of us ate and drank our way through the menu and everything was very tasty, authentic, aromatic and fresh. Even though it was very busy, the food came quickly. Unfortunately there was no room for dessert, so we'll postpone that until next time. Highly recommended (despite the challenging parking situation)!

Great food and super friendly service!

Very friendly staff, it went very quickly and was very tasty 👍

Were there for the second time since December and were very satisfied. Good portions, reasonable prices and good spiciness. The menu is extensive, the decision is difficult. Today the starter came with the main course, that was changed. The furnishings are still a bit rustic. Conclusion: We would love to come back 😋

Really delicious! And extremely nice service!! Can only recommend it :)

Delicious food, great ambience, nice owner

We ate a lot and it was super tasty 😊

The best Indian restaurant in Kiel and most likely in Germany. You can’t find Indian food this well prepared even in the big cities like Berlin. The taste is authentic, just like in India. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants to know how delicious Indian cuisine actually is. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Super delicious food, great service. We would love to come back ♡♡

We had a very pleasant and fun evening, we enjoyed the food very much and we would like to come again!

It's nice that there is also a large selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes

It was a great coincidence that we discovered this restaurant!! The food was very tasty, service was friendly and attentive. Gladly again

A very friendly waitress explained to us that the dishes were prepared mildly and tailored to European tastes. If you want to enjoy an authentically seasoned dish, you have to note this beforehand! That's why there are three stars because we found our dishes to be too sweet. We would still like to come back and let ourselves be convinced again. It's very comfortable to sit together and the restaurant is suitably furnished.

Unfortunately my old review is no longer valid and I don't really care for Indian food. So I gave it a 3 star rating, which may be a bit unfair, but a high rating for lau doesn't make sense either.

The two of us were there without a reservation and were given a very friendly welcome. The portions are really big and the selection is great – also for vegan & vegetarian! The service was consistently attentive and warm. Great presentation of the food. The price-performance ratio is absolutely right, and the easy take-away of food is another plus point. We would definitely like to come back!

Super nice, attentive service, top advice and excellent food. We'd love to come back to try out the other delicious dishes!

Very nice indian authentic food .Felt like home after quite long time.Definatrly will come back again.

One of the best Indian Restaurant in Kiel. Worth your time and money . Make sure you reserve and go otherwise sometimes you'll be disappointed as it can get very busy. Friendly staff adds as cherry on top of the delicious food...

I recently had dinner there with my wife. It was very tasty. Definitely coming back soon.

Delicious food and nice atmosphere! Gladly again :)

Super friendly reception. We really liked the atmosphere and the food. We'll be back!

What a win for Kiel. Great cuisine and very nice staff. We'll be back!

Were here for the second time now. Food and service are top.

Very good food. The Pistachio Chicken is my absolute favorite. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Always happy to be there.

Very tasty food! We'd love to come back.

First visit, but definitely not the last! Delicious food in a nice atmosphere. Most of the food on the menu is only listed as a sauce - you then decide for yourself whether you want vegetables, poultry or shrimp with it. This makes the map clear - good idea! There are lots of delicious vegetarian options! A very pleasant shop that will hopefully last a long time. I will support him!

Our first time, unfortunately no reservation, the shop was full, so takeaway. We are thrilled. We have family in India, I worked there myself for 4 months and it tastes really authentic! In contrast to some glossy Indian restaurants in Kiel, everything is consistent, taste, portion size, price. I'm happy about the Mazala in the neighborhood.

The team was very attentive even though they were very busy. The waiting time was therefore reasonable. The food lived up to what the menu promised. Overall, great quality of food, a great team, reasonable prices and a recommendable stay.

Delicious food and nice service

Ordered there for the first time three weeks ago. Very tasty food with great quality and quantity. Simply good, gladly again. :) Addendum from December 29th: Ordering the second time also left us thrilled. That gives it the 5th star. The only thing missing is a visit to the restaurant itself.

I wasn't in the restaurant, but ordered the food to my house, so I can't really comment on the ambience or service. However, the food was really bad. Some of the vegetables in the biryani came from the freezer. Very little taste and just too few spices for Indian food. Very disappointing especially if you don't order food often and it's something special for you due to cost reasons. In addition, both my partner and I had stomach pains after eating and it could just be from this food... Unfortunately never again!!!

We enjoyed it very much, we would love to come back.😊

Delicious food, great service and nice atmosphere. We'll be back!

Good food, Good ambience. Please visit to experience original Indian spices in Kiel.

We went to Mazala for the first time today, hoping to finally experience authentic Indian cuisine in Kiel. We weren't disappointed! All dishes were super tasty. The only thing that still needs to be worked on is the service. The staff were all friendly, but quite disorganized. Hopefully this will get better with time. We'll definitely be back.

Friendly service, acceptable prices and good food. We like to eat here.

The Mazala Restaurant in Kiel is an absolute recommendation for lovers of Indian cuisine! The dishes are full of authentic flavors and perfectly balanced - you can taste the quality of the ingredients and the passion in their preparation. The service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere invites you to enjoy. Whether classic curry or tandoori dishes, everyone will be happy here. A real highlight in Kiel!

The Mazala (restaurant & bar) is run with friendliness and a good atmosphere. There are good cocktails and of course other drinks. Homemade lemonades are also served ice cold with fresh mint. The menu offers authentic Indian cuisine. I've eaten there many times and everything was excellent. I'd love to come back.

We were served very nicely here by such friendly people and the food was great too. We'd love to come back!

I celebrated my 38th birthday in the Indian restaurant Mazala at the Südfriedhof in Kiel and was pleasantly surprised by the authentic Indian cuisine. The flavors and dishes reminded me strongly of my vacation in Mauritius, where I was able to experience the delicacies of Indian cuisine up close for the first time. This feeling was wonderfully revived at Mazala. The starter with glazed vegetables and sesame was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection - nicely al dente and aromatic. I was particularly impressed by the Indian sauces that were served with the naan - a real highlight and something very special. For anyone who likes something exotic, Mazala is just the right place. My main course, spinach with Indian cheese, was a real treat. Only the quality of the rice wasn't the best. The portions were just right – not too big, but definitely enough to fill you up. I would particularly like to highlight the homemade lemonade I tried: lime-mint - so refreshing and delicious that I can only recommend it! I was also impressed by the ambience: from the beautifully designed bowls to the authentic furnishings and atmospheric music - you can tell how much effort the owners put into creating a welcoming and authentic atmosphere. The service was also excellent, the waiters were extremely friendly and always asked whether everything was to our satisfaction. Mazala is a place I would recommend to anyone who appreciates Indian cuisine and a special restaurant experience!

We were greeted extremely friendly and served. The food was super tasty and well seasoned. It is served very nicely in bowls with candles to keep it warm and the plates were preheated. We were there with a baby and that wasn't a problem either, they even made sure we had enough space for the stroller. The toilets were also very clean. We'll definitely come back again.

The food was really tasty and very authentic. The staff and the owner are super friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is still quite new and an absolute recommendation.

The staff was extremely friendly and the food was excellent. Any time again ✨️

A cozy restaurant with a nice atmosphere and friendly service. The food was very tasty and we had a lovely evening. :)

Very tasty and authentic food! A large selection on the menu. The facility is very comfortable. The staff is really helpful and friendly. You have to be patient as you waited a long time for the order and the invoice. Overall very great experience!

The ambiance is great. The food tastes delicious and makes me nostalgic. I have ordered Tikka chicken masala, Paneer Lababdar. Tikka masala was worth perfect spice levels and flavorful. Paneer was fresh with big chunks. It's the perfect place for the people who wanna try authentic Indian food. I would recommend Mazala restaurant for the best Indian food in Kiel.

The food and service were really good, we would love to come back! We had several drinks, starter and main course, it was plenty. And there were preheated plates too. Drink requests were also fulfilled, the homemade lemonades are delicious.
