  • 5/5 Manasa V. 1 year ago on Google • 171 reviews
    One of the best Indian restaurants. It is modern furnished, very pleasant ambience, comfortable place with nice Bollywood music. It’s just 5-6 minute walk from Flehbachstrasse u bahn. The staff are very friendly and polite. They can speak good English, German and Hindi. The maintenance is great. I have ordered Paneer tikka, seek kebab, butter paneer, and two cocktails: sex on the beach and Bollywood love. The cocktails were good. If you do not wish to have spicy food, they can personalize the recipe accordingly. Paneer tikka and seek kebab were good. Butter paneer was extraordinary and I would love to visit again for this. Must visit. The best part was the girl who was serving and gave us the complementary shots of cocktail which was soo tasty. She was busy in managing the deliveries, serving and in addition, she was so polite and kept us comfortable all the time in restaurant.

    Fantastic new Indian restaurant in Brück. Service was friendly and the food was very fresh and flavourful. Lots of options on the menu, but no lassi. Don't worry, if you ask for it they'll make it for you. I love it when an Indian restaurant gives you the choice of naan or rice by default. Will be back!

    We heard a lot of good about Holi so we wanted to try. It's cool to have a nice Indian restaurant in the east of Köln. We were welcomed very warmly, the staff was very polite and nice! The ambiance of the restaurant is cool but not crazy typical, it's more modern- than Indian-looking. The food was really tasty and well presented. It was truly yummy (best samosas I had in a long time, and the Lassis were really good too). However, it was quite pricy for the quantity you get. A bit disappointed on this aspect, and therefore the 4 stars. But it definetely worth a shot and we might come back! Important to note and big plus: lot of veggie and even vegan options!

    Amazing authentic Indian restaurant with the friendliest staff ever. We spent magical evening, the food was so good and the staff stayed after hours to make sure we had a good time. I cannot recommend it enough, this place is a rare gem !!

    We chose this restaurant because it was close to our hotel and had fantastic reviews. We can only agree on that! The portions are REALLY big. The fried cauliflower starter is also one of the best things I have ever eaten. Everything is just nice, nothing is oily or greasy. Also plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Definitely recommend.

    Possibly the best Indian food I’ve ever had. The owners were incredibly sweet and if we had more time here we would come again. Highly recommend.

    I had butter chicken and butter naan here. The food is so tasty here. The staff are so friendly and kept on asking us if we liked the taste of we wanted something more. You can literally taste the ghee added in the food. It literally melted in my mouth. Damn tasty food. I highly recommend this place. This place reminds me of Hygee where you can beautiful pics of India all around which adds to the beauty of the restaurant. We were greeted and treated with warm smiles and gestures.

    The food was amazing. For starter, we had the Holi Special. Also, we had the Butter Chicken & Chicken Tikka Masala as our main course. Special thanks to our waitress Sammy!

    Today had an opportunity to visit this restaurant for dinner...it's has variety of desi cocktails . We ordered Chilli Panner , Malai kofta and Kulcha..everything was good except Chilli Panner which first with gravy color of reddish looks like regular red colr panner butter masala ..taste wise no where chilli Panner ...I asked the lady is it this chilli Panner said yes of Germany..I was laughing inside .how to fool even indians who eat chilli Panner in India knows what is it ...my request to all reviews readers. Order anything in this restaurant except Chilli Panner..trust me for it but in dreams also..it was not Panner butter masala and nor any chilli in gravy to say it...taste was awful....rest all ambience and music is good..

    I ordered the Chicken Pakoras for starters, followed by the Chicken Kadai with rice. Chicken Pakoras were 10/10. The batter was extremely tasty and the chicken was spiced to perfection. I just wish I ordered another portion. The Chicken Kadai is probably the best curry I have ever had. By far, hands down, beats any curry I have had back in the UK. Whilst only medium spice, it had the perfect amount of kick. Chicken was plentiful, as was veg. Service in Holi was QUICK. Usually we'd be waiting awhile between courses, but the service had us out the door within an hour. The staff were friendly too! Overall, every time we come to Brück, we try to come here. If possible, always try to book a table because it can get busy! Only downside is; if you are going to ask people who didn't reserve to sit outside, make sure the tables aren't sloped to one side.

    Best Indian I’ve had in ages! Absolutely top notch! Good sized portions and the lassi was consistent too! Mega!

  • 5/5 Brian M. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife and I found ourselves searching for dinner when our primary plans fell through! Fortunately, my wife found this amazing restaurant with such lovely staff. Food was absolutely amazing, and the staff were very courteous and accommodating. We had several different cocktails from the bar and I must say they were sone of the best we had in Germany. They didn’t cause our teeth to hurt from being overly sweet and not dominated by strong alcohol taste. Our food, we had several courses, was served with perfect timing and all ingredient were clearly fresh! We enjoyed the entire experience.

    Extraordinary experience after such a long time in Indian restaurant in Köln. Top notch food and ambience. Meets an elite standard by which you judge all other restaurants. Its very rare that you find great service with delicious food. They are very welcoming and gave us an amazing service. Owner is really very nice and friendly. The service is unmatched. The dishes were delicious as were the mocktail and desert. Highly recommended.

    It was our second time eating here. The service is really nice and the food is delicious and sumptuous. The people organising everything here are hard working and put all the love into the food. Hailing from the home country of this cuisine, this is by far the best restaurant in Cologne. When my family comes to visit me, I would bring them here to give a taste of Indian food outside the land. Really good, authentic taste!
