The food was tasty. We ordered "Rottis mit Hähnchenfleischcurry" which was basically rice with chicken curry stew cooked in coconut milk. We've also got "Annam's Special Veggie-reis" which was supposed to serve in banana leave(according to the picture) but it was served on a tray(not important issue). It contained seven different foods, plus rice as a side dish. They all were new to me and I enjoyed almost all of them except that some of them were too spicy even though we asked for a non-spicy version. The restaurant was quite empty, the price was reasonable, and the waiter was so friendly.

I have been eating here since 2 years. No other place is more authentic and with true taste. Run by husband and wife and gives the true south indian taste. Meal is super big portion and we can barely finish it esp the deal of 2 masala dosa in 9.5€. If i compare it to anyother BIG name... I would still rate it 5 Star and all others 4star. Even would prefer it to anything in lunch or dinner. Super low cost, super high quality, super big portions, mediocre ambiance. If you want taste then this is the place. If you want fancy but mediocre taste and half portion at double cost then go else where. I would rate this the top rated restaurant in Dortmund. One caveat though.. some dishes might be a bit spicy for some. Beverages do include non alcoholic beer, but other are limited. Btw: they have MASALA CHAI and it is karak.

My wife and I visited this place in Summer 2021, and we absolutely LOVED it. Very tasty food, plus very nice people serving the food with a lot of love. Price is very reasonable. We highly recommend this place. Tips:- If you can't handle a lot of spicy food, ask for the lowest version of spice. The most spicy version is, well, very spicy! :) Also, payment was by Cash.

We were craving for some Indian food, and found this restaurant through Google Maps. We were not disappointed. Ordered a Jaffna Special - Chicken curry Rice & a plate of fish fry. The fragrant basmati rice was served with an egg, a tangy spicy chicken gravy, some raita, a cabbage dish and a dal dish. It was really good, chicken pieces were generous. The fish fry was good as well, and is topped with fried onions. Crispy on the outside and the fish was well cooked.

Firstly writing this review genuinely from bottom of my heart! Because we were that happy with the food.. this kind of food can only be served here at an affordable price, freshly prepared! Highly recommended especially indians who have been missing their home food should visit this restaurant. Though we stay too far from this place will definitely visit Dortmund again just to eat and experience this feeling again. (And yeah we were not ready to leave the place even after 2.5 -3 hours)

Excellent authentic south Indian/Sri Lankan food! Tried Masala Dosa, and besides the price (you get 2 Dosa's for 9,5, quite good price nowadays) the look and tase were amazing! Exactly the same as I've experienced in Sri Lanka. Yes, we did wait around 25 minutes for the food in an empty restaurant, but it was totally worth it for the good taste and the very nice service in this small family owned place. Gret food, our host was very nice, talkative and accommodating, and good prices (2-2.5 for a soft drink is also quite good nowadays). So totally worth the visit! Already planning to return.
