Flavour Of India — Restaurant in Cologne

You can try to delete this as many times you want, I will keep posting it.

I wanted to have some good time with my partner, so we visited the restaurant to enjoy the offer from "DiscoEat App" too.

The food was served cold, with non well cooked tasteless vegetables ingredients. In addition, the dough was raw. My companion couldn't even finish her part of the big shared plate because it was so bad. We were 2 people, and for starters, 3 small pieces of each different food were served, so in the case that we would have enjoyed the food and wanted to eat it (I felt like eating it because we were paying for it), it was relatively non well served for being a share plate for 2. Also, the chairs outside (chair back) were very uncomfortable.

There was no one else in the restaurant, estres can't be an excuse. Awful experience which triggered personal discussion.

They did not even believe our complaints when we asked to get the food more cooked and we were not compensated anyway, just got the same food back some hotter. And as if that were not enough, the bill was wrong.

The only positive point is that the waiter was a bit sympathetic.

I can understand that they want to remove the non positive reviews, but if the are not on the level of having a restaurant there or anywhere, what I recommend is to quit instead of arguing that it was a false review, because we did not wanted to waste more time in anything related to this place so we did just gave the stars without comment.

Now after seeing that they want to silence the bad reviews , I would directly put 1 star instead of 2. Clearly it may have been a fortuitous mistake, but now I certainly wouldn't be happy to give it a second chance.

Unfortunately I do not keep the invoice, which by the way, they made by hand...

I visited Flavour of India on 28th May 2022. I went there at lunch time specifically for the Thali.

Pros -

1. Quality and Taste of food was great. It was freshly prepared (and not just heated in microwave).
2. The total quantity of food was sufficient for me, even though I didn't had any breakfast in the morning.
3. I had a Non-Veg Thali (€19.90). The texture and taste of all the items were amazing.
4. The place was almost empty, so no waiting time.
5. Staff and service was very good. The food was served on time (within 15 mins. of ordering) and I didn't have to wait much.

Cons -

1. The price of non-veg thali mentioned on google maps and the restaurant website is wrong. It's not €15.90 but €19.90. It may also be that this price increase in only on weekends, I don't know.
2. The Thali is not refillable. Charges for anything extra. SO IT'S NOT LIKE AN UNLIMITED BUFFET.
3. I felt that the quantity of Naan was less compared to curry quantity. Naan should be more.
4. Raita is not the bundi-raita we usually eat in India. It's the Cucumber Raita.
5. I think, €19.90 is a bit expensive for the quantity of items provided. €15.90 is reasonable.

But I didn't regret going at...
