We went to HaldiSpoon yesterday because of the good reviews and unfortunately we have to say that we can only understand them to a limited extent. The food: We thought the concept was great, different sauces could be combined with chicken or different meat alternatives as desired. The Naanizza also looked really interesting, but we didn't dare try it and stuck with tried-and-tested curry dishes, maybe a mistake. The dishes themselves, ordered as “medium hot”, were not remotely spicy. Maybe you should rethink your declaration, there are also categories like mild, which would have adequately described the level of spiciness. We both had the butter curry sauce, interestingly enough it tasted completely different for both of us, and it tasted much better for my (half-Indian) companion than for me. Where that came from remained a mystery to us. Unfortunately, the mango lassi I had was absolutely bland, with lumps and little mango flavor. I can't recommend it. Overall, the taste was mediocre for us at best. About the staff: The young woman who greeted us should urgently look for another job because her current one is obviously making her very unhappy. She was far from the warmth described in the other reviews, but instead exuded a bad mood and displeasure. Perhaps it has to be said that we were there spontaneously and didn't have a reservation, which is understandably difficult given the size of the restaurant. We were then seated at a table of four with two other guests, which was completely okay (for us, I can't speak for the others ;-)). Tables for two became available relatively quickly, so we asked if we could move around. The waitress wanted to check whether there was a reservation; But we never got the information; newly arrived guests were simply placed there. Since there were quite a few changes while we were there, it seems unlikely that everyone else had reservations. But even if so, an information that unfortunately this is not possible would have been polite and appropriate. The icing on the cake, however, was that she sprayed the second half of the table with disinfectant since the people sitting next to us were finished, while we were logically still sitting next to it and also had food in front of us. As much as I'm in favor of using disinfectants, that's just not possible. Overall, a rather disappointing stay, but luckily there are plenty of alternatives in Cologne.
