Sie ist super lieb und lässt uns gerne neue Rezeptideen von sich testen. Ihre Preise sind so niedrig, dass sie kaum von ihrem Restaurant in der Innenstadt leben kann.

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.

Ginti is an Indian restaurant in Köln that delivers very good food overall. The flavors were bold…read morewell seasoned and satisfying and the dishes tasted freshly prepared. From a food quality perspective it definitely stands out and is a place I would normally be happy to return to. The restaurant itself is spacious and comfortable with plenty of room between tables which makes dining feel relaxed rather than cramped. Service was generally good and the staff was attentive and polite throughout the meal. One downside was that the restaurant felt a bit too warm which made the experience slightly less comfortable especially while eating hot dishes. The bigger issue however was that the server repeatedly had a finger in or directly touching the food while serving. That was uncomfortable to see and definitely not ideal from a hygiene standpoint. That said the food was genuinely so good that I still ate it and enjoyed the meal despite that concern. Overall Ginti has excellent food and a nice space but the serving practices could use improvement to match the quality of the cooking.

​Well well, they try. First of all the service is on point…read more- they are very committed​ to serving the guest a good time. Well, why I did have taken two stars? Cause even with German and English it was hard to understand most of the service people. And the food was mostly mediocre. Outstanding was the Chicken 65 that can be ordered as an appetizer. I would next time order it as a main, most likely even twice! It is that good! But we have been a huge group and so we tasted a lot of Indian dishes. Most of them were ok'ish not bad at all, but I had most of them in a better version elsewhere. So that is why I have to take another star down. which ends in a good three-star place. Nothing to be ashamed of.

The dishes were excellent and the portions were huge. The fish curry was tasty, flavourful and had really good quality fish and prawns in it. The chicken variety plate was also excellent with tender chicken pieces coated with various flavours and cooked in the tandoor. The lamb shank I tried was tangy and tender and the Dal Makhani was my favourite. Proper black dal cooked for hours and creamy and delicious. A great place to have Indian food in Cologne. A bit pricey but well worth the money. Thanks for the recommendation Ika :-) a great choice indeed and great company.

One of the most horrible food I have ever eaten in my life…read more I had a take away and the food was a complete nightmare and a perfect event spoiler. Neither did the curries (panner tikka masala and sabzi jalfrezi ) tasted well nor did the breads( Butter naan). The breads that were packed for us were completely burnt from the base (wish i could attach the pics here) When I entered the restaurant for placing the order, it was suffocating and stinking inside. The ambience was not at all good. Dear owner of the restaurant, Yea okay your restaurant is called Kamasutra but that doesn't mean you go hanging around pics of naked people all around, even on your menu card; Kamasutra means a lot more. I would never suggest anyone this restaurant ever again in my life. Try Ginti restaurant in Köln it's much much better.
