"anton seems to be a kind of local fame dining place that is far from the famous restaurants and crowded streets. Nevertheless, it remains a loyal, local customership that is driven for its excellent tripadvisor position and the full tables in a Friday night. from our curiosity we made the walk to the place and were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff. the interieur, as previously expected, was a mixture of kitsch and modern to put it cheaply. still we spend a joyous night there, which eats our rich food and really enjoys the warm, local atmosphere of the restaurant and the people who go to visit and work. I have to admit that I understand what people like."

"Ich hatte Glück für 1 Stunde einen Platz zu bekommen. Ich habe mir Sommerrollen, knusprige vegane „Ente“ und zum Nachtisch Klebreis mit Cocos Joghurt bestellt. Der Service war sehr nett und aufmerksam, das Essen war großartig. Sehr schmackhaft, schön angerichtet. Tolle Kreationen für eine gesunde Ernährung die Spaß macht."

"In a 5-day stay in Cologne and as a lover of Indian cuisine, we had planned the Ginti. The visit took place on Monday to the beginning of noon. The reception was very friendly and cordial by the Lord of the House. The decor in Ginti is very modern, stylish, but also somewhat sterile and only very discreet supplements with Indian accessories. Young guests will probably find favors in the style of the institution. The place was still empty and so there was a chance to get a brief conversation with the mistress of the house. She brought us the menus, and there were Papadam with three from a culinary point of view pretty boring finished dives. We chose both a mango sauce as a drink that was thin and most likely prepared on the basis of a mango powder. Disgusting! I ordered as main dish Malai Kofta, vegetable balls in a mild curry sauce with ginger, garlic, almonds and coconut. This is not only one of my favorite Indian dishes, but it is also a dish that places higher requirements on a kitchen and therefore cannot be found in any Indian restaurant on the menu. In addition, quality and freshness can be well valued with this bowl. I ordered this dish with a higher sharpness, but not through the sauce, but ultimately through the vegetable balls themselves. The latter were produced excellently and their loose inner composition had the freshness of the preparation felt. This was undoubtedly a 5-star court. My accompaniment had opted for Tandoori King Prawn Masala, marinated royal cloves from Tandoor in a sauce with tomatoes, cashew nuts and raisins. This dish was also very tasty, rather mild and very generous in the number of shrimps. The rice was served unfavorably on an open bowl and had to measure any fragrance and aroma that could originate from cardamom capsules or spice cloves. After the main dishes were convinced, we were curious about the Indian ice cream, Kulfi. This came visually well over a carrot cut into slices, but could not be along tasteful. It was crystallized, little creamy and the aromas of the aforementioned mango powder were reappeared. Conclusion: a highly recommended Indian restaurant due to the excellent main dishes, but not yet matured in its culinary periphery. Therefore, provisionally three stars with an inclination to four."

"Amongst all the places I have been around the world, I must say that I never ate such a good meat in my life. The steak was so tender that you could even cut it without the need of a knife! The portion was quite good as well (400gr) very juicy and perfectly cooked. Good selection of wine and the atmosphere is also very "argentinian" style, with gaucho "accessories" and horse saddles hanging from everywhere. The Service was also good, very friendly waiters. People might think it is a bit pricey but it is definetly worth the money! The grill is placed right at the entrance so you can have a look at the guy grilling this massive pieces of meat on the grill."
