Svaad - The Indian Kitchen in Düsseldorf

Having tasted biryani across Germany over so many years, i would say hands down the mutton biryani was the best i had so far! perfect blend of flavours, spices that don't burn you within, rice and mutton cooked to perfection...

Svaad is very cool the food is also delicious and tasty .The staffs are too nice and very friendly. We go there for our family times. Kids love the place and food. Would recommend everyone to go this place for Indian cuisines!!!

Good quality and quantity of the food portion that is served, nice ambience, value for the money and polite staff.

Have been to this restaurant multiple times and the taste has always been the same and best. The spice level is the best thing I love about this restaurant as an Indian. They truly keep up their standards

I ordered Paneer Gongura from Svaad, expecting a proper vegetarian meal, but to my shock, the dish contained chicken pieces! This is completely unacceptable, especially for a restaurant that claims to serve vegetarian and vegan food. When I brought this to their attention, they deleted my review instead of addressing the issue professionally. This shows a complete lack of responsibility and ethics. If you are vegetarian, vegan, or have dietary restrictions, I strongly do not recommend this place. They clearly do not take food safety or customer trust seriously. Unprofessional and careless

Superb restaurant with good ambience. Staff is very friendly. Overall a good spot

Good ambience and servive, food is also good. Worth a try

Today we had worst ever experience after ordering the food online.The panner dish delivered by Svaad contained chicken pieces. My in laws are Jain and this not acceptable. Vegetarian please refrain from ordering from this restaurant. I really liked and supported this restaurant since it’s opening in Düsseldorf but this is unacceptable. Delivery small chicken pieces in panner dish is a shame.

Great biriyani! Also making a reservation for a weekend dinner will not work as this place is normally pretty full and you'll have to wait! But it's worth the wait is all I can say :)

Nice Food & Nice People Thanks for fresh & delicious biryani ! The quantity of biryani is just so perfect! For people who would like the Biryani to be balanced for example with not more Masala better to inform to make white rice portion more than Masala one.

The only restaurant sofar that serves authentic Dum Biryani in the Rhien Ruhr cities. Most of the resturants in the ruhr gebiet have the item serve Biryani but it's simply mixing pulav rice and some chicken curry. But Svaad stoodout among the imposters by their truthful Biryani cooking where the chicken and rice cooked together. May be they could reduce the amount of masala rice a bit and increase the normal rice a bit more to balance the spiciyness. Or may be ask how do we prefer. The starters were perfect and the paratas and roties reminds me of India. Haleem should be improved as it had a taste more of a masala chat than Haleem. Will definitely visit next time and hopefully give 5 stars.

Super authentic food! My favorite Indian :)

Very good Indian restaurant, Indian food quality of this kind is not easy to find in Germany. Particularly recommended: the biryani.

I had Dum biryani... Real taste like Hyderabadi Dum biryani... Authentic taste... Very Friendly... Very quick service... So nice...

The most amazing Indian Restaurant in Düsseldorf

Unfortunately, the service was very unfriendly. As a guest, you felt unwelcome. Furthermore, the women's restroom was extremely dirty, smelling strongly of urine. There was apparently a cockroach in one of the two toilets. Overall, the dishes were solid and really decent for the price. Unfortunately, the hygiene and service left a lot to be desired, which is a real shame in this case.

Best briyani joint in Germany so far!

Authentic Indian restaurant In Germany I ever tried. My 2nd visit to Düsseldorf, the quality is highly maintained. I highly recommend Gobi 65 which is a must try and a show stopper. Visited fifth time today and well maintained with the quality and awesome hospitality.

The customer service was very poor. The food was good, but the staff was not friendly or welcoming at all. It ruined the experience.

The best ever biryani across Dusseldorf. Totally enjoyed the food.

Super delicious Indian food at a very reasonable price! Admittedly, the atmosphere can be a bit hectic at times, but it doesn't detract from the overall experience. We love coming here!

I recently dined at Svaad – The Indian Kitchen in Düsseldorf and had a delightful experience. The lamb curry was tender and rich in flavor, and the chicken majestic offered a perfect blend of spices. The chicken dumplings were succulent, and the biryani was aromatic with well-balanced spices. The chole bhatura featured fluffy bread paired with a savory chickpea curry. The chilli chicken had a pleasant heat, and the tandoori items were grilled to perfection. To conclude, the gulab jamun provided a sweet and satisfying finish. I highly recommend Svaad for authentic Indian cuisine.

If you are from North you will not miss north India style preparation (paneer , dal makhani etc) If you are from Andhra or Telangana - you will not miss any kind of dal For Hyderabadi- chicken Briyani equally good as in Hyderabad And for bangoli- rasmalai is equivalent Best service

I have been to Svaad too many times already and suggested it to most of my friends. The food tastes way better than other Indian restaurants in Germany that I have tried. You can ask for different spice levels based on what you prefer and they can modify it for you. Make sure you reserve a table especially on weekends to avoid long waiting lines.

Very tasty food and good staff... Also facilitates are good

We are big butter chicken fans and therefore ordered our favorite dish from Svaad. Very tasty with crispy naan. There were a lot of Indians/Asians present on a Sunday lunchtime, which I always see as a positive sign that the quality is good. With children it is always particularly good when the food is on the table as soon as you order. It worked so quickly here - fantastic!

The food and service was great we ordered Chicken vepadu - highly recommend , aaloo paratha and starters gobhi manchurian and papdi chaat and offcourse mango lassi.. Loved it . Will definitely come back again ✨️

We had booked a table for us, but when we went there, they told us to wait (also other groups); what's the point of taking reservations? Then when we finally got a table after more than half an hour, we were told there was no biryani anymore, which was the reason why we went there in the first place. On top of this, the staff were visibly too stressed, the toilet was pretty dirty. The food was good, but there are a number of other Indian restaurants nearby.

Very tasty and inexpensive food. Watch out for those who don't like spicy! Even if the waiter says it's not spicy, it can still be. I definitely recommend the mango drink

Very tasty food with dedicated waiters. Super nice staff. Definitely recommended.

I had high expectations for Svaad, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to them. The biggest letdown was the absence of mutton biryani, which was disappointing. The chicken biryani didn’t taste great either, and the ghee chicken was the worst dish we tried—completely lacking in flavor. However, the chicken majestic was the only saving grace, as it was well-prepared and tasted good. Overall, the experience was below average, and I wouldn’t recommend it for biryani lovers. There’s definitely room for improvement in terms of taste and variety.

We visited the restaurant last weekend and ordered a starter, drinks, and main course. Our main courses were served first, when we requested that we would like to begin with the starters, we were casually informed that as the main course is already available, they don't want it to get cold while the starter is cooked. The 'naan' accompanying the main course was also late, and we had to wait to begin the hot meal. We have been regulars at Svaad for the last couple of years. The food and service used to be good but have substantially deteriorated over the last 6 months. Very disappointed with Svaad Düsseldorf.

it's like a boring standard chain. Very, very bright and artificially uncomfortable atmosphere. Food was okay, but nothing special. Prices are another €2 more expensive than in the pictures on Maps. The price seemed too high to us and only after asking and waiting for a long time did they bring the receipt (no comparison of the dishes)… and we were “accidentally” overcharged for one dish…

I just wanted to thank you for keeping the real taste. I really enjoyed all of the foods but everyone enjoyed the Children Tikka Masala(it was the best). Mango lassi was also delicious ❤️. -from Nürnberg

Chicken Lollipop and Chicken Majestic were super awesome - definitely would recommend these as starters. Chicken Kadai was also very tasty, didn’t quite like the chicken chilly ( I was thinking it’s the usually indo-Chinese style but was a normal red gravy with capsicum- wasn’t bad but not what I expected) Gulab jamun was warm and comforting

I really recommend this place, excellent curries, superb appetisers, one of the best Indian restaurants in Düsseldorf!!

delicious. we'd love to come back

5 stars ***** Simply great! Stylish ambience with a mix of tradition and modernity. The staff is warm and attentive, and the food is fresh, delicious and lovingly prepared. A real taste experience – absolutely recommended!

★★★★★ Absolutely recommended! The restaurant perfectly combines tradition and modernity with a stylish atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the dishes are fresh, authentic and delicious. A real pleasure experience – I’ll be back!

Food OK, but very inattentive service when we were there. We had to ask several times where our order was. When we got the bill, the waiter said he had forgotten to add 2 Lassie and wanted us to pay for it that way. He didn't want to enter anything later...

“ This restaurant nails it in both cleanliness & authenticity. Not only was the dining environment spotless, but the food was also an exceptional reflection of Indian culinary heritage. It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of hygiene and authentic flavors in one place. Highly recommend it for anyone seeking a genuine Indian food experience in a safe and clean environment.”

poor hygiene I ordered something, I picked up the kitchen order and I saw him look into the stew to see what kind of stew it was, he put his finger in it 🤮🤮🤮

Super delicious food and friendly service. Highly recommended :)

The food was very tasty and the staff was very friendly. Although we reached late in the night, they welcomed us well and served good food.👍🏻end gal baat 😘😘😘 👌👌👌

Good taste i tried chiken biryani and chiken majestic its awesome

The food is delicious and the service is pretty good, on the time. Highly recommended for all 😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️

The food was delicious and the service was up to the mark. Highly recommended 💯

Hygiene stuck her hand in the food to see what she put in it 🤯

Best Indian Restaurant in Düsseldorf

Simply super authentic, even many Indian residents from Düsseldorf come to eat here. That's why it's normal to see people eating with their hands. The food is very very tasteful. But it is also very sharp. It has to be that way! Otherwise, treat yourself to mango lassi to cool down. My tip is the fried cauliflower starter.

Must try restaurant in Dusseldorf for authentic Hyderabad food.

I am visiting from Frankfurt really enjoying food in Düsseldorf svaad Indian restaurant

Very good biryani and friendly service

Excellent food taste and service

Nice food and service, really friendly staff!! Must visit again!!!

Best Delicious chicken and mutton Biryani ever had. Must try.

Guys, these people are so friendly and their food tastes abnormal and the prices are really cheap. Me and three sisters of mine just paid €50 and our table was full and everyone had a main course. We had starters and salad and drinks. It is really recommended.

So, you don't reserve a table for x people for nothing. It may be that all the tables are full on a Saturday evening, but why do you accept more tables for reservation than the capacity you have in the restaurant? I reserved a table for 3 people - I got a table after about 3 minutes, but I felt like I was at McDonalds. Even though I reserved my table, I had to share my table with strangers. I also felt like I was being watched because every employee was standing at our table like security. The pani literally - as the employee asked us how we liked it - tasted like water and the puri and the filling couldn't be combined. It was also new to me that the puris were served to us unopened. I know it differently!! I had very high expectations because the restaurant was often recommended to me, but I am twice as disappointed.

Wonderful experience.The best Indian restaurant I have ever been to in Germany. ♥️Perfect blend of South and North Indian flavours♥️ This is a must try for everyone as per my recommendation

Edit(02/02/2025): Today we were couple of friends and wanted to eat at this restaurant. We went there and ordered Dum goat biriyani. It was not good at all today. “Meat” was kinda non-existing there were pieces of goat which were mostly bones or off cuts of goat not actual meat. The biriyani itself was subpar. Although the food was not so good their service was very good. The staffs were very nice. Service was good too. Always like the vibe there. One of the best India restaurant I have been in NRW, the food is VERY delicious. If you think of the price to performance ratio, it’s top notch. We had Dum Biriany, and my god it was good. The spice, the amount of meat in the biriany was very good. I think the portion was supposed to be for two people. However we were three friends and ordered three portions. We could barely walk after the feast, AND WE REGRET NOTHING 😂. Two of us also order the mango lassi and other friend ordered masala lassi. It was also delicious 👌👌, although the masala lassi seemed a bit plain. The people working there are very friendly. The ambiance felt cozy and relaxing. You could go there, have delicious food and chillax with your friends. Absolutely awesome experience there. Although we live very far away, we will go there every time we are in Düsseldorf. 👌👌👌

We spontaneously visited here. We ordered three main courses and roti. It was all really, really tasty. Absolutely recommended. Above all, it’s not “Germanized” but really well and authentically seasoned!

We regularly order from svaad but were seriously disappointed when we discovered a piece of hair in the dessert

I have tried many Indian restaurants in the NRW region and am very happy to say that this place has the most authentic biryani I have ever had in Germany. Highly recommended! Also the staff were super friendly.

Been here multiple times. Really Hyderabadi style and taste. Highly recommend..!!

An excellent restaurant, excellent service, and a relaxed atmosphere The food is delicious, clean, and the quantity is good. Excellent service from Harry.

Delicious food! Been here 5 times, always happy

Highly disappointed. They don't pay attention to you. Everytime they served the food as if we they are giving free of charge. No smile on face, which is beauty of indian tradition that you should smile while serving. Serving wrong dishes. We have to ask again and again for plates and the hike is when we asked for small glass for my 2 year old for drinking water they said outside drink not allowed. Which is inhumane.the rice first they served was cold after that they served half cooked rice. At the Time if bill payment when we told them we are very disappointed today they not even bother to ask what happened. And the man started making faces . How one could do this with customer?? Who served paneer tikka with roti?? Worst ever indian restaurant. Don't go here. Instead eat dal chawal or pizza French fries anywhere in dusseldorf but don't go here. Full wastage of money. There is no svaad in svaad.

Best indian restaurant dusseldorf,best serives ,food qulity very good .

The best Indian restaurant ever.

Best Indian restaurant in Düsseldorf

The portions are really good and the taste is also quite decent, especially for the reasonable prices. The staff are hospitable too. The biryani is more authentic than most places and that is the main reason to visit this place.

Super food, very friendly and welcoming staff, they all speak English, overall a very nice experience. We ordered a mutton biriyani, lamb curry with rice and butter chicken with naan. All the dishes were tasty and the waiting time for the preparation was around 10mins.

I use to have briyani only. Getting any food in the same taste is a gift and they do that very best. The quantity of the food is unimaginable. Most liked indian restaurant in Germany.

Very tasty, best butter chicken!

I was at a buffet, organised by the service members for my group, the starters were incredibly spicy and just cauliflowers drenched in spicy sauce. There were also pakoras but they didn't look very appetizing either. The main course consisted of Naan, rice, chicken and matar. Rice was very spicy and just not flavorful. How do I know it? I eat Indian food all the time, traditional Indian food. Chicken was meh. Naan was way too hard and matar was served with dahi. Overall not a great experience for me and if you wear fashionable clothes, do not wear cotton, it smells horrible after you leave.

Food is really good 👍🏻 Butter chicken is highly recommended Great restaurant and Harry made it even better

Most authentic Indian taste also most affordable price and unbelievable quantity. One portion enough for two. I found most reliable restaurants in the dussdörf, you must go here.

The place is well decorated with a good ambiance. Service is fast. Chicken Tandori is tasty and spicy. I like the Naan bread. Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The chicken biryani was not on my liking. I think it has too much spices on the chicken which is overpowering for my taste. I tried c.biryani in different restaurants but it is too much for me. I think it was not adjusted on the taste for general people but maybe it is for good for Indian palate. I love their mango lasi, thick, concentrated and delicious.

The quality of food compared to the price is very good and the food was very tasty 😋

The food and the ambiance, this restaurant has to offer is great. The best Indian food we had in Düsseldorf.

I've been here many times, excellent food and great service. Best Indian restaurant in Düsseldorf!!

Very tasty and very good value for money, large portions and friendly service, and the ambience with the music is perfect

one of my favorite places ever! the restaurant is exquisite, the prices great and the service too. the dishes arrive quickly and you then have a chance to enjoy them. i have taken my friends and family here and come back often. when you are undecided on where to go... go there! I have personally tried vegetarian dishes, but for my family members who eat meat for them, those are also delicious. to drink, I recommend the mango lassi, which accompanies the meal perfectly every time. in short, whatever you try is sure to be tasty!! (+the place is also very pretty!)

Very tasty and very friendly service 👍👍👍

Awesome ambience. Good place to have Indian food. Friendly people

One of the Indian Restaurants in Düsseldorf, really enjoyed having Chicken Vindaloo with Garlic Naan

Best Veg Biriyani at a very comfortable price. A must have for everyone!!!! 👍✌️😊

I’ve made multiple visits to Svaad and have had a delightful experience each time. The food is incredibly tasty, and the customer service is excellent. Plus, the prices are very affordable, making it a great value for the quality offered. Highly recommend!

The food is delicious but a little spicy

Very authentic Indian food in the city. Biryani is probably the best in Düsseldorf. Fast service and kind staff too. Highly recommend.

One of the best place in Düsseldorf Indian food tasty quick and good service staff is very supported

A disappointing experience The visit to this restaurant was extremely disappointing. Although the beers weren't cold, which is a small but annoying gripe, the biggest issue was the service. The waiter chose to memorize the order instead of writing it down, which resulted in several errors. We ordered three starters and the main courses, but after five minutes we were served the main courses straight away. At first we thought everything should be served together, which would be unprofessional but acceptable. But then it became clear that the starters had simply been completely forgotten. Additionally, one of the main courses was not what we ordered. Luckily, the mistake was quickly corrected as the dishes only take five minutes to prepare. Still, this was another item on the list of failures. We later ordered a second round of drinks which was also forgotten. About the food: The naan was dry and tasteless, and the main courses (korma and tikka masala) didn't reach the quality that I know from other Indian restaurants. Although they weren't bad, they seemed more like dishes from a fast food restaurant than an authentic Indian eatery. However, the worst moment came at the end when we asked for the bill. We wanted to pay separately, but the waiter showed an arrogant and rude attitude and insisted on splitting the bill evenly, even though we didn't ask for it. In summary, the food was not bad but far from expectations, with a quality more reminiscent of fast food than a real Indian restaurant. The service, on the other hand, was one of the worst I have ever experienced - not only because of the errors, but also because of the disrespectful behavior. I would not recommend this restaurant.

My go to place whenever I miss Indian cuisine. Lip smacking food, polite and friendly people and cosy ambience remind me of my country. The biryani and the chicken ghee roast are must try. Super delicious.

I had an amazing experience at Svaad. The food was absolutely delicious, with rich, authentic flavors that truly captured the essence of Indian cuisine. Every dish was prepared to perfection, and the variety of options, including vegetarian and vegan choices, was impressive. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made my dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Svaad for anyone looking to indulge in high-quality Indian food with outstanding service.

Mediocre food, terrible service. The food, although acceptable, did not stand out at all. The worst was the service: they forgot all the starters, there were several mistakes with the drinks and the attitude when dividing the bill was regrettable, with bad faces and inappropriate gestures. I don't recommend this place.

We had a terrible experience at this restaurant. To start, they didn’t write down our order, which led to obvious mistakes. They forgot some items and had to ask us to repeat our order. When the main courses arrived, they completely forgot the appetizers we had requested. Some of us ordered Korma, but they brought Tikka Masala instead, and we had to wait quite a while for the correct dishes. Unfortunately, even after the wait, they got the order wrong again. The food itself was far from good and didn’t meet our expectations. To top it off, when it came time to pay, they pressured us to pay the bill together and divide it ourselves. We were a group of seven and wanted to pay separately since some people had shared dishes while others hadn’t. The server was visibly annoyed because splitting the bill required more effort. Overall, it was a huge disappointment. Neither the service nor the food is worth recommending.

The service was awful, we ordered some starters and they didn’t bring it. When we wanted to pay the waiter had an impolite behavior so for sure we won’t go back.

Tasty very good.. must try Briyani, butter chicken ..service very good.. very cooperative staff..

5 Stars for Food, Service, Ambience, must visit

Very good food, excellent service and a very friendly team
