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.

We started with an order of paneer pakora, and they came hot out of the fryers with three kinds of dipping sauce - a zesty yogurt, a spicy mint chutney, and a fruity (mango?) chutney. For mains, we ordered the Murgh Makhani (basically buttered chicken) and the Bangun Bharta (grilled eggplant that is later puréed with ginger, onions, garlic and spices). Everything had great and balanced flavours, and we got some good capsaicin heat where we wanted it. The mains come with plenty of basmati rice, which is wonderful for soaking up every last drop. The hostess was very nice and helpful, too. I point this out because I cannot digest mushrooms or tomatoes, and she helped me find something that I could eat without causing myself stomach trouble. She even went to the kitchen to confirm with the chef. The menu is in German and English, so no worries if you're visiting from out of town and cannot read German. It's a little on the expensive side, but I will be back again for special occasions later.

I would highly recommend the cauliflower curry as well as the chicken korma which is wonderfully flavorful with a bit of spice. A little odd was the Butter chicken, because for some reason, the curry was super duper sweet which I thought was a little bizarre. Other than that my friends all enjoyed the lamb and the coconut based curries with chicken. One thing you must order, are the mango lassis and the garlic naan. Never forget the garlic naan.

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.

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 service was typical German, and I have come to expect better from Indian restaurants - the staff usually smiles and has a friendlier demeanor in general than a German restaurant. The service here was not slow, but they seemed to hate their jobs, as is typical in German restaurants. Yes, I hold Indian places to a higher standard. After taking our order, our waiter went to the front door and smoked a cigarette, right in the doorway! I did not appreciate that we were billed for papadam which is normally free, and was extremely surprised that it came with no chutneys - you must pay extra for each one. That has never happened to me before. Also, if I'm paying for papadam, I expect to get more than two small pieces. There was also something added to our bill that we did not order, "diverses" that I suspected they hoped we wouldn't notice. (We had another "diverses" because I had a substitution, but that's fine.) I ordered Chicken Masala it was OK, but I left the restaurant hungry. It's worth the 30 minute drive to go to Wuppertal and eat at Bombay, where the staff is friendly and they don't gouge you for every little thing.
