I am an Indian and my advice is DON'T GO THERE!! We ordered masala dosa, chicken dishes no. 30 and…read more31. I have to say the food lacks taste. It's completely out of taste and the curry of chicken was stale and tasted horribly wrong. Masala dosa had simple potatoes without anything, I mean anything! No chili, no curry leaves, no mustard seeds..nothing! Honestly, I wanted my money back. I have been to many Indian restaurants and this by far has disappointed me most.

I am from Chennai, the home of Dosa. So, unsurprisingly, I am usually left missing one of my…read morehome-comforts - Dosa. I used to go all the way to Saravanan bhavan in frankfurt to find peace. But I am happy i discovered this palce close to Köln. While it does not come close to Saravanan bhavan standards, it does the job. Mainly because it is real south-indian food, and not the Sri-Lankan tamil food - which is slightly different. Taste of india is my address for my Dosa-cravings. They have good idlys and vadai too.

I was wondering between 3 and 4 stars. The place is very…read moresmall, you can hear the couple who run the restaurant from the kitchen. You can hear the dishes moving around. The place has a homely kitchen feel to it - but a bit shabby. The man who served us could have been more friendlier to us. That would have complimented the warm feeling of the place. That's the main reason I give 3 stars. The food was decent. The sambar is typically srilankan Tamil style. The coconut chutney was fresh but a bit dry - a little bit more water or use of fresh coconut is recommended as I suspect dried coconut were used.
