Große vegane Auswahl 🙂 - Edit
Das Restaurant hat sowohl à la carte als auch beim Mittagsbuffet eine sehr große Auswahl an Gerichten, die von vornherein vegan sind - und fast alle anderen können auf Wunsch vegan zubereitet werden.

Best place in Cologne 🙌 108% - Edit
Absolutely delicious authentic Indian prasadam food, 100% veggie with many vegan options. Only two sauces have garlic - the rest is garlic-free and onion-free (great for Hare Krishna diet). Very friendly devotee staff, simple but loving decor. Around 8-10 tables. Besides food there are other things to buy (like sweets, books, incense, mango pulp, spices, etc.) All is very affordable, especially the all you can eat is a dream. Recommend big time! Every German city should have a restaurant like this! Haribol 🙏🏻

The most authentic Indian food experience - Edit
I‘ve never seen any Restaurant in Germany that recreates an authentic Indian eating experience this well. All other Indian Restaurants tend to cater to German tongues and needs, but not this one! It felt like eating my grandmother‘s food again. Also really healthy, since they focus on ayurvedic food.

I have been here multiple times. The owners are very friendly and even told me what they use to make their mango lassi. Unfortunately that is not vegan, but can be made vegan quite easy.

Super Restaurant mit sehr nettem Personal - Edit
Schönes Restaurant mit sehr vielen veganen aber auch vegetarischen Gerichten. Das was wir gegessen haben war sehr lecker. Kann ich jedem empfehlen da mal vorbeizuschauen. Wer dann Lust hat auch mal selbst etwas indisches zu kochen findet dort auch die wichtigsten Gewürze zum Verkauf.
Read morePros: Viele vegane Optionen, Auch die vegetarischen optionen in vegan, Man kann dort indische Gewürze kaufen
Cons: Das Geschirr könnte weniger Mensa Charme haben

They can veganize pretty much everything and since the owners have a relative with a gluten intolerance, they are knowledgeable about the topic and can offer you alternatives.

Eines der besten veganen Restaurants in Köln. - Edit
Etwa 90% des Angebotes ist vegan. Das Mittagsbuffet für 8,90€ ist unschlagbar. Tolle Qualität, unglaublich lecker und so viel man möchte.

Ayurvedan restaurant, mostly vegan - Edit
No garlic, no onions, so I love the place. It's kinda sparsly decorated but the intense, large paintings make up for this.
Read moreLocated at a major inner city traffic intersection (i.e., easy to reach by public transport). The place is not small at all as some reviewers suggested. Food is good, Indian style, mostly vegan, good, self-made 'curry' mixture. Very friendly, very relaxed staff.
Lemonades, also home-made ones. Yuppie-free, more of an esoteric clientele. Peaceful.
Pros: no garlic, no onions, mostly vegan, easy to reach, very friendly, peaceful

Best choice for vegetarians and vegans in Cologne - Edit
This is my favourite restaurant in Cologne! You get very delicious and spicy meals, cooked with love. The place is nice, quiet and meditative, the stuff is very friendly. Some ingredients are organic, and you can have all meals in vegan options. And no: It is not expensive (around 10€ for a complete menue with 3 courses!), you can stay there as long as you like of course - so don't hesitate to go there.
Read morePros: Very delicious food, Very friendly stuff, All vegan options

Be careful - Edit
I recommend this restaurant for
Read more+ the meals: Very satisfying, very delicious
+ very calm place
+ central in Cologne
+ The have vegan meals
I would nevertheless recommend you to be careful when going there, because:
-They always try to make as much money of you as possible! Be careful, this Indian couple is very greedy!
-They are usually neither kind not friendly
-They obviously want to get rid of you as fast as possible
-The prices are increasing every time, the portion sizes get smaller and smaller.
Prices are already much too high right now.
-NEVER give you the impression of being welcome and yes, they only want to serve you fast.
Pros: Tasty food, Quiet place, vegan meals
Cons: High prices, Unfriendly owners, Greedy owners

Highly recommended - Edit
We are regulars at Govardhan.
Read moreYou get a full meal for around 10€, there are also special daily menus that change every day. For those on a tight budget, you can get a warm sandwich for just 3€.
The dishes are simply delicious - freshly prepared - with homemade bread and spice mixtures. Don't expect hot, expect delicate spices in a very chilled atmosphere. All the dishes are vegetarian, of which about half are vegan.
Perfect if you like to have quiet chat or a read whilst enjoying your meal.
There is also a good choice of drinks, including delicious lassis and yogi teas.
Our favourite in Cologne!
Pros: Delicious vegetarian and vegan menus, Lovely spice mixes, Quiet and relaxed

Tasty delicate flavours - Edit
All the food here is either vegetarian or vegan. If you say that you are vegan you really do get a completely vegan meal including dessert. It is definitely a good idea to take the daily meal as you get a nice starter, bread and pudding along with your meal. The staff are pleasant and chat. The food isn't the rich and spicy type that you would get in India (or even in the UK!!) I always think that Indian food in German is way too diluted to suit the Germans tastes so I found the food here like all Indian food in Germany very delicate. It was still very nice and the location is very practical.

very nice authentic place to eat Indian - Edit
A small cozy place to eat tasty Indian food.
Read moreYou'll find there only Vegetarian & Vegan meals, some goods for sale (e.g. Yogic & Ayurvedic teas, oils, spices, books etc.) & attention from the owner.
I was there with my boyfriend (carnivore), who loved his veggie plate. At finish we took some deserts home and very much enjoyed them.
I'd like to support such privately owned, homy places by spreading a kind word about it.
Get in there, when you pass by ;)

Special Place - Edit
I used to go there since a few years and more often some time ago because they want higher prices but for the same food while they lost some of the good quality in my opinion. Besides they are not always friendly, it's more like an anonym atmosphere and they only want to serve you fast.
Read moreBUT the food is very tasty and the restaurants style is great!
Pros: good food, good located, idea
Cons: price, unfriendly, closed on sundays

You are right about everything you said.
Read moreThe prices are increasing every time, the portion sizes get smaller and smaller.
Prices are already much too high right now.
You are also right that they are not friendly,
NEVER give you the impression of being welcome and yes, they only want to serve you fast.
If the food wouldn't be that great and if it wouldn't be such quiet place, I would never go there.

Great! - Edit
We were there for a late lunch, just day before. We had the set lunch. The food was very good and satisfying. Homemade and healthy food. We also ordered some extras from the regular menu. We will definitely go back. The location seemed pretty central, the area around was busy and buzzing.
