Thali- Indisches Essen Restaurant Köln — Restaurant in Cologne

I was searching for an Indian restaurant and randomly choosed this one. Went there with a friend. We didn't have enough time to ask about which one was what because the menu was full of a lot of options. We just chose the easiest one that we found a little bit familiar. (As a non-Indian I didn’t know most of the foods.) The food was awesome. It’s a restaurant but the food will give you the taste of homemade taste. It’s a family business. The owners (husband and wife) are most probably the chefs (main instructors) in the kitchen. Service was 10/10. The person (oldest son of the owner most probably) who was on the counter was a really nice person. I love it when every person in the family is involved in running a business. They never disappoint the customer. I was surprised to know that they have been running this restaurant since 1986😦. I can see now why they still exist. It’s their service and food. Going to visit again soon to try...

We visited Thali Indian Restaurant in Cologne for dinner, and it turned out to be the highlight of our Europe trip across eight countries! We found this gem while searching for the best Indian restaurant on Google, and we feel so lucky to have chosen it.

The food was absolutely delicious, reminding us of authentic home-cooked Indian meals. Every bite was a nostalgic treat! The hospitality was top-notch – the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive.

A special mention to the owner, a great man who made our experience even more memorable with his lovely conversation. His son, Mandeep, was incredibly attentive and genuinely kind, ensuring we had everything we needed.

Overall, Thali Indian Restaurant delivered a perfect dining experience. If you're in Cologne and craving authentic Indian food with exceptional service, this is the place to go! Highly recommend...
