    I had a Naannizza with Butter Paneer (Indian spicey and gosh this was really spicey, only do this if you are as professional as me 🌶🌶🌶) and some garlic naan 🫓 🧄 with Raita together with a Kingfisher Beer because when you eat Indian you also enjoy it with an Indian Beer 🍺 (this is what was written on the blackboard and they are so right). 5 stars also for the amazing service ✨

    Stumbled upon this cozy family-owned Indian restaurant after a Thai massage nearby. It was the best meal I had in Cologne and I brought more friends here again tonight! The staff are extremely friendly and spoke great English. We were satisfied with the food quality and portion. If you live around Mülheim you must give it a try. If you have a few days in Cologne, it is worth a trip here to try out their dishes.

    Love everything about it from the very welcoming and charming place, to the delicious food, and the friendly staff. It's a family owned business with a home feeling. It was definetly worth the drive from Düsseldorf and highly recommended!!!! And I forgot there is Vegan option 😉

    Normally I don't write reviews for restaurants, but this place just went above and beyond my expectations. It was my first time visiting an Indian Restaurant in Köln. Service and timing were absolute perfect. Food was amazing as well. Pretty much they treat you like a family. 100% would return. I would give this restaurant 10 stars if I could.

    The best Indian food in Köln, in my opinion. The owners and staff are amazing and have made the place feel very welcome. Without a doubt, we will return soon and will invite all of our friends along. Spice enthusiasts will also adore this location.

    A very good place to visit. The owner treated us very kindly despite not speaking his language and the attention was great. The food was very good and in quantity for the price. Highly recommended if you visit cologne.

    A very nice India restaurant in Köln Mullheim. I ordered chicken tikka masala and my friend did palak paneer, and both was damm tasty. Having authentic indian taste, outside India, specialy in Germany, atleast I find it rare. Also people there are very nice and friendly. Just a little remark: the restaurant don't accept card, but hope it will be there soon. 😊 PS: As we have to travel Köln quite often for our business trip. I feel we are going to be quite regular here. 😊😊

    Amazing food, friendly people. Even tho very busy, they managed to have a seat for us and food was served quick. A great experience.

    We had a short stay at Koln and headed to HaldiSpoon after reading all the amazing reviews of this family run restaurant. Though we reached almost at the closing time, they warmly welcomed us and also shared great recommendations that suit Indian taste buds. HaldiSpoon is a nice cozy place with great ambience. Don’t forget to check out the Indian map designed with Fritz-kola caps! We spent a lot of time talking and exchanging stories from back home. We loved our experience so much that we ended up going to HaldiSpoon the next day and even packed lunch for the day after :) We can't thank you guys enough for making us feel at home and feeding us the most awesome Indian food in Germany! Will definitely come back :)

    HaldiSpoon is a lovely and tiny restaurant. Very delicious and spicy indian street food and traditional dishes. Very sweet service and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Cube of C. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly one of the best indian restaurants i've ever been to - a relaxed atmosphere due to the small space, quick ordering, friendly and helpful staff, and most importantly absolutely delicious food. I was a bit sceptical trying the "Naanizza" but it was amazing and I will never be able to eat regular pizza because this has spoiled me for all pizza. 11/10 I wish I was in Cologne more often simply for this food. Amazing.

  • 5/5 Fernando L. 1 year ago on Google
    We arrived there shortly after he closed the kitchen but they still made us 4 portions, it was delicious, and I gotta say, finally something really spicy and perfect, not that sehr scharf lie, 5 stars for sure!

  • 5/5 Mana E. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Indian food in town. But, most of all, the beat host. Attentive, remembered my name, made my food extra spicy (“South-Indian spicy”). Will come back to be thrown back to my time in Tamilnadu.

  • 5/5 Liam 1 year ago on Google
    Really impressed with this restaurant. We were on holiday from England (Birmingham) so we like to think we know a good curry. The food really is exceptional with great hospitality to match. Do not hesitate to visit this restaurant!

  • 5/5 David B. 2 years ago on Google
    We stumbled upon HaldiSpoon the other night, and I cannot recommend it enough. It's worth the trip to Mulheim and was hands down, the best food and dining experience I've had in Koeln. Wonderful, family-run place, and delicious Indian cuisine!

  • 5/5 Regulus B. 2 years ago on Google
    Best indian food I've ever tried across 4 countries! Cozy atmosphere, delicious food of different spice level, employers speak English and German 👍🏼 I'm lucky to live near this place.

    Must visit if you like Indian food!

  • 5/5 Darragh P. 2 years ago on Google
    A genuine family-run business - they make lovely traditional Indian food with a modern twist (e.g., their Naan-izzas!). Best of luck to them!

  • 1/5 Robert N. 2 years ago on Google
    Food ready 45 minutes after they told us it will be ready. Gave us different food than what we ordered. (Ran out, evening order) actual food was boring for indian food but probably less greasy/fatty. Even outside them failing I would recommend any other Indian restaurant.

    Best Indian restaurant I have ever eaten at. The staff is friendly while still being professional. Food was delicious. I had the garlic naan, palak curry, chicken and mango lassi. Will definitely eat here again and definitely recommend.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at haldi spoon, and it was truly an exquisite experience. From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance transported me to the vibrant streets of India. The menu offered a delightful array of authentic Indian dishes, each bursting with rich flavors and aromatic spices. The Chicken Tikka Masala was a standout, with tender pieces of chicken smothered in a creamy and perfectly spiced tomato-based sauce. The Garlic Naan was freshly baked, providing the ideal accompaniment to soak up the delicious gravies. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff members who were knowledgeable about the menu and eager to offer recommendations. The restaurant's commitment to creating an authentic atmosphere extended to the traditional Indian music playing softly in the background, enhancing the overall dining experience. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring that every bite was a satisfying journey through the diverse flavors of Indian cuisine. The attention to detail in presentation showcased the chef's dedication to both taste and aesthetics. Overall, haldi spoon exceeded my expectations, delivering a memorable dining experience that has made it my go-to destination for authentic Indian cuisine. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Indian food or a newcomer to its delights, this restaurant is a must-try. I eagerly anticipate my next visit to savor more of their delectable offerings.
