Ristorante Violino in Bonn

First-class cuisine at reasonable prices for over 15 years! Very personable owner, friendly team. Highly recommended! And don't forget to make a reservation...

Food is great, service is great, prices are moderate. There were a lot of Indians there, which probably speaks for authenticity

Very authentic, delicious cuisine with a large selection. Only recommended.

Tables were very tight, we sat right next to the open emergency exit, and it was very drafty there. It was reserved in advance and a special occasion was stated. We had to ask twice when ordering drinks because something was missing. This continued throughout the evening. The food itself was good, even if something was missing or something was wrong. But waiting 2 hours for food was too long, especially with a child. Then it's better to cook Indian food yourself again

The Taj India 🇮🇳 restaurant is located close to the city center.. the atmosphere is a little cold for my taste, yet the service team is welcoming and friendly .. the food quality is very good .. the butter 🧈 chicken with Nan bread 🍞 butter naan and garlic naan 🫓 and the black lentils are very tasty … the price are very fair … the best price & value I experienced during my short visit in Bonn so far ..

For me it is one of the best Indian restaurant in NRW.

While ordering we clearly mentioned that we want spice in our food but food was not spicy at all we inquire the waiter again he bring us small green chillies to eat with our food.

I can recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience. My daughter and I were really excited. The food was perfect, exactly how we liked it. The service was very friendly and accommodating. You had the feeling you were being seen... Thank you for the lovely evening. We'll definitely come back

Food was delicious, the menus are great value for money!

Best Indian Restaurant in Bonn.

Always crowded but the food is delicious. I love this restaurant

Good food,friendly staff and both non veg and veg options are very good

Delicious Indian food, fast service despite the restaurant being full. It's worth making a reservation

If you love Indian food, you can't miss this excellent restaurant. Delicious food with a wide range of variations and very friendly service. We would love to come back.❤️

I used to eat there regularly years ago when it reopened and I'll be back again on another visit to Bonn. What can I say, the store has grown positively. There is a wide selection of different food and drinks, individual requests are catered for as best as possible, and attentive service is also worthy of praise. Only the seating situation is more cramped in some places and when the restaurant is completely full there is a certain amount of background noise. I deducted a small point for the food because we wanted the food for our child to be mild on several occasions. This was affirmed and noted - unfortunately in the end it turned out to be one of the spiciest dishes (we deliberately ordered something that was already considered... was mildly labeled, we just made it clear that it was supposed to be the children's meal). The child then ate with them elsewhere, so that everyone was quite satisfied in the end. We would definitely like to come back next time we are in the area.

Authentic Indian cuisine, good service

I've already eaten here twice. The food itself is really tasty and what I particularly like is the selection of side dishes/starters and (Indian) drinks. Especially the selection of street food. I haven't seen that at other restaurants. The selection of main courses is comparable to other Indian restaurants. What I have to complain about is the prices for the desserts in relation to the quantity. 3 euros to a little over 4 euros, depending on the dessert, and the amount is just enough for 1 person. So not suitable for sharing. And unfortunately you sometimes have to wait a little longer until you are served. But the staff is very friendly.

Attractive restaurant with good value for money. Been there at lunchtime.

The food is delicious: they have many vegan options!! Also, the workers are helpful. BUT something I can't tolerate is that they don't serve you a glass of tap water... (I ordered a curry and a drink that I didn't like and that's why I asked for tap water) they denied it to me and when I said it wasn't legal they replied "it's not illegal either"... in the end I insisted and they gave me water but that's not the idea

Well attended and an extensive menu with great dishes.

If you like Indian, you can't miss this excellent restaurant. Delicious food with a wide variety of variations and extremely friendly service. We'd love to come back.

Very, very good food, lots of choice and great spices. All employees very attentive and quick. However, there is hardly any ventilation with almost 20 occupied tables. At some point you got your nose closed and could hardly breathe. Please do something about the ventilation. Otherwise great and keep it up.

Very attentive boss, he immediately noticed that the table at the entrance didn't fit us well and moved us to the back area (unfortunately it was very drafty at the entrance and that made it very uncomfortable for me at the end of the pregnancy). The food was very tasty, unfortunately one of our main courses was forgotten at the beginning, but it was quickly added. We can definitely recommend the restaurant.

The ambience could be spruced up a bit... tablecloth had stains... chairs worn... But... the food was very tasty.. at a good price

Very nice restaurant with outside seating. Inside, the furniture is very cramped, so you have to be careful how you move. The air inside is very bad due to the open kitchen, so fresh air should be provided occasionally. The interior lighting is not enough here and there, so you may have to use your cell phone flashlight to read the menu. The service is very attentive and friendly. The order is received quickly and delivered quickly. The food is sufficient and tasty. A reservation is recommended, which speaks for itself. Unfortunately, card payment is not possible... this should be noted. We didn't find any reference to it before, but maybe we just overlooked it.

Everything is very delicious and the service is really good!

Really great food in Bonn. Loved every dish

Every visit was worth the trip.

Very nice people. Was even called Cheff 👍

The best Indian food I have had in a couple of years. The people were super nice, and the spice level was just right. Highly recommend.

Very nicely decorated restaurant. The waitresses are courteous and very nice. Our visit to Taj India was perfectly rounded off with the excellent food

The food is nice. The place is noisy (the damn music...) and the clothes typically smell after eating there, so mixed feelings.

This was the second time we were guests at the Taj, once spontaneously for lunch at the weekend and once reserved with a larger group. The ambience may seem a little kitschy, but we felt very comfortable in the overall very relaxed atmosphere. The service was very friendly, courteous and attentive, they paid close attention to the guests' wishes and served quickly. Thanks to the large number of people in our group, we were able to try out the menu and regardless of whether it was vegan, vegetarian dishes, shellfish or meat, the dishes were all excellent. For those who like it a little spicy and would like to try something different, we recommend trying Pani Puri (No. 14). The food was plentiful, appetizingly prepared and excellently seasoned, and the price-performance ratio was also good. We thank you for the wonderful time at the Taj and are sure we will come back. PS: We are also a bit jealous that the Bonn locals seem to like to pick up their food there too! Enjoy your meal! :D

I recently hosted a party and I was thoroughly impressed with both the food and the service. The dishes were a perfect blend of authentic Indian flavors, with every item freshly prepared and beautifully presented. My guests couldn’t stop raving about the delicious spread. The service was outstanding—courteous, attentive, and timely. They made sure everything ran smoothly, creating a delightful and stress-free experience for us.

I almost wanted to give up going to an Indian restaurant. Luckily I tried it again. The four of us were guests on Sunday afternoon. Beautifully designed guest room, friendly reception. The extensive map is a bit difficult for inexperienced people. We took menus twice for two people each. Drinks included lassi and homemade lemonade. In short: the food was excellent! Very tasteful and with completely new flavors for me. Very spicy and each individual pan has its own taste. Price performance absolutely okay! Not our last visit!

We are very disappointed!! We had reservations for 8:00 p.m. Unfortunately, our reservation for Friday evening was received but simply ignored. Likewise, we were ignored by the completely overwhelmed employees when we pointed out our reservation. In the end, after talking to the boss after waiting 15 minutes and clearly insisting, we got a table after the guests at "our" table were clearly told to leave now. This is all about profit and not about the well-being of the guests! Too bad. Disastrous organization, extremely loud and cramped. Clearly not a recommendation!!

The place is very nice, it is very spacious and the service is fast. The food is good, but it can be even better. Maybe they can be more flexible.

I have no experience with Indian food, but the mess on the table of 4 people with main courses was just too much for me. There are some separate sauces and dips with flatbreads. The service is good, the prices are okay. The mango lassi is really delicious.

Very tasty Indian food. Friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere and good value for money. For my birthday I ordered catering for 30 people. The advice was very helpful, which made the buffet even more varied. The quantity was right and there was something for every taste. Assembly and dismantling went as discussed. I would order my catering from Taj India again.

Authentic Indian food with solid lunch options. Highly recommend.

Delicious food with good service. Food came quickly and there is a good selection, including Indian street food.

I stopped by Taj India in Bonn for dinner recently after seeing it on many recommended lists. I’d rate the food 8.8/10 - Butter chicken: 9.8/10: Slightly sweet balance out well with, lots of spice, good pieces of chicken - Bombay Biryani: 8.3/10: Lots of spices/flavour, quite a bit of each type of meat, pretty good - Fish Vindaloo: 8.8/10: One of the spiciest vindaloo I've had, felt very authentic, but bit too spicy for me - Butter Naan: 8/10: Typical butter Naan

Lots of exceptionally delicious vegan options and attentive service, even when it's full on the weekend ☺️

Great food, more than fair prices!

Fantastic! Even a seemingly simple biryani becomes a work of art visually and an experience when it comes to taste. Other dishes no less: the menu is extensive and varied. The waiting times are relatively short and perhaps the most surprising thing: the prices are at pre-Corona levels. When it comes to quality, the restaurant could do a lot better... There may be other good Indians in Bonn, but they can only be just as good, because it couldn't be better. My new favorite Indian. Was there twice in a short space of time and am already looking forward to the next time! Update September 2024: The rating continues to be correct even after a few more visits. It was my first time eating Bharat Thali from the lunch menu and I can only recommend it.

We ate here for the first time today. Luckily we had reserved.😅 The food was super tasty 👍The waiters were very nice, very quick and attentive. The ambience is typically Indian. Class! The entire stay was really great! We can highly recommend this restaurant! - It's best to reserve in advance (also works online 😉) We'll definitely be back! 🥰

Food was good, but we expected more. Butter chicken was not much creamy and tasted saucy. Staff is lovely and polite so a star extra.

Served rotten chicken with smell, never recommend this place . I don’t know why the authorities are not taking any action these people who don’t care about health of people

Very good food, very good service and great atmosphere! Very good Manu

Loved the food, ambience and service there. Staffs were very polite and I was given a very quick service.

Very tasty, also very appealing on the outside and the prices are reasonable

The food was really good and the atmosphere of the restaurant was very pleasant. There were a lot of varieties in the buffet, and I'd recommend checking it out if you've been to Bonn.

I found my go to spot in Bonn. Everything my boyfriend and I ate was a 10/10. (Pani puri, lamb kajuu and a butter chicken) And the prices were affordable too! I lived in Dubai for 20 years and there were a lot of great indian restaurants. Taj India reminds me of home. I'm coming back soon with friends ♡

Great place with very good food and service. I recommend!

It was very tasty and we really enjoyed our dinner!

In easy words I can say that this restaurant is The Best Indian Restaurant in Bonn. Food is super good . Staff is super friendly.just love the vibe of the Restaurant.

Very authentic and delicious Indian food. One of the best in town.

The best Indian restaurant! So far I have only been able to eat something similar with my Indian friends. I'm here about every 1.5 months. Recommended from A to Z <3

Always my pleasure. Freshly renovated and still super fair prices. And always friendly!

The food in here is sensational. We all agreed it was the best Indian food we have ever eaten. Fresh ingredients and awesome taste

The taste was authentic and served on time but I was really amazed by how well the staff treated us and that’s what I would like to emphasise on. They were very polite and made sure that we don’t have to wait for food in between. Can’t appreciate the food and service enough, I highly recommend the place.

I was amazed at how affordable such a good meal is in a Bonn restaurant. I had a good time with my daughter, which we both enjoyed very much.

Very good food. Good quality and large portions. Absolutely recommended!!

Been a while that i have had this good food in Indian restaurant in Germany. Nice, flavourful and authentic india food.

Excellent cuisine, for example the lamb biryaani had lots of fresh ingredients, the jhalfrezi was also very tasty, the service was very attentive.

Eating for the second time today after only a month. And again it was very tasty, plentiful and the service was good. Thanks

The restaurant did not feel responsible for supplying missing food. I ordered through a delivery service. When the order arrived and I noticed that two things were missing, I immediately called the restaurant and explained the problem. I was told to contact the driver. After several requests to simply deliver the food, the man on the phone remained stubborn (Why would the driver take two things out of the bags?!) After I called the driver, he advised me to call the restaurant again. I did this. After I mentioned my request, I was pushed away and they simply hung up on me. After that, the restaurant was no longer accessible. Incredibly bad service. It's not a bad thing that something is missing, but refusing to deliver the missing food that has already been paid for is a disgrace! It's a shame, the food delivered was very tasty.

Service was good, very bad food in germany, never tasted so bad. Everything Was frozen food, which you can get from nearby supermarkets. Indian authentic food you cannot get here, lot of Salt or the same gravy for lot of different dishes. Everything Was bland, we almost ordered 10 different dishes. Dessert Was terrible, sorry to ne harsh. But that's the reality! May be germans like it.

We've been here several times for lunch as a family. Always a great experience. We recommend. Very good food, nice service and fair prices.

Bad Experience. Served Manchurian made with gulab jamuns🫨

Very beautiful and delicious! I'll be back!

Very tasty food. Price-performance ratio particularly impressive. Feel free to come back soon.

Very nice staff. Many gluten-free dishes.

We had a very great evening. The clear menu led us to the four-course menu. The food came very quickly and tasted authentically oriental. Service very friendly! I can recommend it again at any time.

Very tasty, great service. The menu is very good and easy to understand and the selection is still large. So it's not as confusing as in many other Indian restaurants. We will definitely come back.

Indian restaurant where the interiors beautifully showcase the rich tapestry of Indian culture. Start your culinary adventure with the refreshing Aam Panna, a delightful treat for the taste buds. With a vast menu inspired by North Indian flavors, there's something for every palate, and the best part? The prices are incredibly budget-friendly. The samosas, freshly prepared and flavourful , are a definite highlight, though the chutney left me slightly puzzled. Moving on to the Chole Bhatura, the flavorful chole beans steal the show, while the petite bhaturas, reminiscent of pooris, are a pleasant surprise. However, the tandoori offerings—both the chicken and roti—failed to impress. Despite this, the overall experience was enjoyable, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of Indian cuisine at an affordable price point.

I love this restaurant. It is very tasty and even the journey from my home town of Bergisch Gladbach is worth it here.

Been there for the first time and was completely satisfied. Prices, quantity and quality are great.

Excellent Indian restaurant. If we're craving Indian food again, we'd love to come here. The ambience and service are excellent, the waiters are always friendly and you feel comfortable. The food tastes amazing, the tandoori platters are recommended... very tasty!

The food was very tasty, well seasoned, the meat was tender and everyone was very friendly. We'd love to come back.

Good Indian food. Very busy. Decent value and staff were helpful and polite.

We had a really delicious Indian meal here. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed and quickly helped. We received advice when choosing the dishes and everything was perfectly prepared and seasoned. Recommended: the garlic naan, the paneer masala and the mixed vegetable curry. The service was also very friendly and welcoming! Thank you very much to the staff and of course the chef

Ate very tasty. Very nice and attentive service.

Very delicious food, friendly and attentive staff. that wasn't the last time :)

Good food, quick service, authentic restaurant

Upgrading my rating: The renovation of the restaurant was really successful. The service is fantastic. Everyone is super nice and super attentive. If you want to feel like you're in India... Important! Don't forget to reserve a table!

Visited the restaurant for lunch. Incredible starters and great main course food with very nice ambience. We’ve ordered Samosa, murgh chicken for starters. For main course, we’ve ordered Garlic naan, Pudhina naan with a chicken curry (extra spicy). Taste of the food was amazing. Owners were very nice and tried to accommodate the customers very well. Would definitely recommend for a friend! Glad to visit again.

We enjoyed here as a family, everything we ordered here tasted good

I first visited this restaurant during my client visit in Bonn in Jan 2023 and trust me the food is so amazing that, then it was usual visit for all of us every week. And now all my non Indian colleagues also love Indian food because of their wonderful experience. Staff is so friendly and accommodating that it takes you back to your home country ☺️ I am from Luxembourg but sometime go there specially whenever I crave for good Indian food.

The food is delicious. The ambience is very nice with backlit ornaments on the ceiling and walls. The price-performance ratio is great. If we come to Bonn again, we will definitely come back!

All in all a good restaurant. You can't get the starters everywhere, but the menus for two and three people are very well done. Overall solid. A little more finesse would be good for the shop. Less choice and more pizzazz would be good. The toilet situation is not nice at all. Something urgently needs to be done. Therefore ambience -2.

Definitely my favorite restaurant in Bonn. The food is cheap with large portions and very tasty

Super delicious food, especially the starters were really special. Service is quick, attentive and very friendly. Price-performance ratio is absolutely right here, I can warmly recommend the restaurant!

Food was good. Prices for the food are also very good. Portions were ok. There could have been a little more rice, but it wasn't quite enough. There was also a small stone in the food (probably in the rice). The desserts were tiny and not nearly as good as the food, so you can safely skip them. Unfortunately, the toilet smelled strongly of urine and had no way to dry your hands. You definitely need to make a reservation on weekend evenings. Due to the good price-performance ratio, we will definitely give the store another chance to improve the few negative points. Then you can easily get 5 stars.

Very good place ,positive environment.Good and delicious food .Highly recommended to visit .❤️

I've never eaten so badly in my life. But we endured it because dear Julia always wants the opposite of the others.

Very good authentic food at reasonable prices. Well seasoned. You should make a reservation in the evening, as it is also busy at lunchtime.

Mega friendly team, great food and great service - on site or when ordering!

The food is so delicious! When the restaurant is full, the service is sometimes overwhelmed but does its best We always enjoy coming back

The best Indian in the area. Authentic taste. Everyone very nice. Always my pleasure.
