Annam's Tamil Foods in Dortmund

Very tasty food and friendly staff

Today I went there with my friends. I can't say the food is delicious but we are satisfied with chicken and lamb biryani. Initially we decided to order a few items to know the taste then we thought of ordering rest as we went for the first time but he insisted us to order everything at a time. He did not listen

masala dosa and kothu parota with medu vada and masala vada was just amazing, the food felt like home

A nice, family-run little restaurant, the atmosphere is a bit reminiscent of a chip shop. But the kitchen is great. We'll definitely come back.

Prices are very manageable and fair. Tea with milk and lassi are a must try. Unfortunately it's not pet-friendly like all other Indian restaurants, so we don't go there often.

Best Tamil style foods. Especially Koththu rotti 🔥❤

Food was good and the service was friendly. They didn't serve traditional coconut chutneys which was disappointing. Instead they served some kind of chutney based on yoghurt or something of that sort.

Sehr sehr lecker, ein echter Geheimtipp in Dortmund

Large portions at very fair prices. Just something different and the staff will be happy to help if you have any questions about the dishes :)

Incredibly delicious food and nice owner at very fair prices!

Great food. Always super friendly. Always great vegan options available. If necessary, just ask.

The food was incredibly tasty and not Germanized. Everything was freshly prepared. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. Can absolutely recommend it and will come back ☺️

I would say this is one of the best restaurants in Germany in the Dortmund area. The quality of the food is very good.

One of the best Indian food I have had in Germany. A visit to this restaurant is completely worth it. The service was extraordinary. Would definitely recommend idiyappam with fish curry. I was here for brunch. The food was fresh, tasty and the ambience was good. The masala chai was also tasty.

Great food, fair prices and a great vegan selection!

I was there with my family, and special care was taken to ensure that it wasn't too spicy for my mother. Very fair prices, but very good portions. Everyone was very satisfied. Would love to come back.

Large selection of vegan dishes! Mega friendly, super tasty, always worth a visit!

Very tasty food and an extremely friendly owner. The vegetarian dishes can be prepared vegan.

food is not just good..its the best

I've been coming here with friends for years. The best Indian food in Dortmund! Always super fresh and the prices are unbeatable. Run by a very lovely couple, we always enjoy coming back 🙏☺️

Best Indian food in Dortmund at unbeatable prices. The operators are magical and we always have a great time.

Amazing food and amazing staff.

Great authentic South Indian/Sri Lankan restaurant. The food was incredibly delicious and the prices were unbeatable. Only recommended. We ate idli, idiyappam and masala dosa.

Food was okayish, curry Staff were friendly.

We felt welcome from the first moment, the owner is very friendly and accommodating. It's hard to decide what to order with the great menu, but that's not a bad thing, you can come back again. The vadai were too spicy for me but still tasty. When I saw my paper dosa my heart soared. Fresh and crispy as it should be. I missed that so much. The chutneys and sambar that came with it were also very tasty. My husband ordered idli and was also very impressed. It was fresh, delicious food and the price was totally reasonable. Beautiful music was playing softly in the background. All in all, we can only recommend Annam's. Nandri

The outside is unassuming, but inside there is incredibly delicious Tamil food! The owner serves, his wife cooks and they both do a great job. The dishes are authentic, delicious, freshly made with love and first-class ingredients and are also affordable. But be careful, in Sri Lanka they like things spicy, so don't be too bold when ordering and choose medium instead.

Were here with 8 people and everyone was thrilled! The rotti dosai, samosa and vadai with sambal were great! Annam's special veggie mix with 7 different curries/dips is my absolute highlight! Upon request, a semolina dessert was prepared👌 Plus delicious Brinks No 1 and Mango Lassi! Absolute recommendation :) Ambiance: just a little too few guests for this restaurant 😄

Namaste - I didn't take any photos because I was so excited - just good - highly recommended -🙏🏽❤️ Thank you very much

The food is good and tasty. Although often many items are not available.

After more than a year in Germany (NRW), this was some of the best south Indian food I'd had in a while. It brought me back to those nostalgic days back home. With just the appropriate amount of spice for the dish, it tastes simply great. Everyone who want to experience the various flavors of real South Indian cuisine should definitely give it a try. Excellent customer service paired with a wonderful value for your money!

Unfortunately no real briyani, just kuska with a meat curry side dish and eggplant that doesn't go with the dish. Curry wasn't salted enough. Masala tea was good.

super authentic cuisine and personal service from the boss. Afterwards you will want to book flights to Sri Lanka immediately!

The food is delicious and the owner is super friendly

Super tasty and authentic food. I was in Sri Lanka 10 years ago and it almost felt like I was there again. The Kottu Rotti and the various vegetarian curries in particular are highly recommended. And the price is unbeatable!

An incredibly beautiful place, with very courteous and friendly service. The food is super delicious 😋 and is freshly prepared. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back. Warm ❤️ greetings

Mega delicious and super nice service, you don't find that often anymore, thank you for the lovely evening!

Stopped by by chance and was very pleasantly surprised! The host was very friendly and patient and explained the individual dishes to us. You can choose the level of spiciness yourself; many things are freshly cooked. I can especially recommend No. 51 if you want to try a little of everything. :)

It was delicious! Freshly cooked! Level of spiciness selectable. Many options! And a super nice boss!

The food quality was mediocre at best. We ordered paratha, which turned out to be very tough. Furthermore, the service was extremely poor; there was only one person handling everything, and his attitude was quite unpleasant. Despite asking him three times, he never bothered to fulfill our requests.

We had rice with 6 different curries and the chicken kothu. Both tasted excellent! Absolute recommendation.

Fantastic Sri Lankan/South Indian food! The service is very friendly and helpful. The ambience is quite simple, but the food is simply fantastic. I love the Idly here. We will be back definitely.

Very friendly host who answered our questions patiently and competently. It was absolutely no problem to point out that a dish would take longer because everything was freshly prepared and this would take a little longer. He also kept checking every now and then to see if we were okay. As a starter there was Samosa and Vadai two dips, as the main course there was Kothu Rotti and Idly, each with vegetables. Very courteous service and super delicious food, we would love to come back!

Very authentic, exotic. Freshly prepared. Good value for money. Very friendly service.

Authentic South Indian food with affordable prices 🤌🏻🥗🥘

Authentic Indian food with great hospitality. Much recommended

South Indian food was just amazing. Idly and chicken curry was very delicious with affordable prices, especially for students. Must visit Indian restaurant in Dortmund.

Delicious food, plentiful and inexpensive. Consideration is given to how spicy or mild you want to eat. The landlord is very friendly, you immediately feel welcome. But you should bring some time.

Super leckeres, frisches Essen zu fairen Preisen und ein sehr herzlicher, sympatischer Besitzer. Hier fühlt man sich wohl und kehrt gerne ein :-)

Freundliche Bedienung, sehr leckeres und authentisches Essen, Ambiente einfach und sauber

The food is amazing and the staff is great. We enjoyed the kothu parotha and the thali. The masala tea and the samosas were also good.

Wir haben gestern Abend sehr gut bei Annam's Tamil Foods gegessen und wurden mit Herzlichkeit beraten und versorgt. Ich habe vadai, kothu und Marsala dosa kennengelernt und fand es überaus lecker. Vielen Dank!

Das tamilische Essen war super lecker und preislich recht günstig. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich, das Ambiente ist eher schlicht, aber sehr sauber. Gerne wieder trotz längerer Anfahrt!

The food here is very delicious and yummy. Those who are missing south Indian food in Germany. It’s a must visit restaurant.

Hier wird alles frisch zubereitet. Die Mangolassi wird aus frischen Mango zubereitet (und nicht aus dem Tetra). Auch die Roti werden hier selbst Hergestellt. Der Teig wurde gerade zum Gehen in den Nebenraum gebracht. Und genau alldas schmeckt man auch.

Wie immer sehr familiäre Gastfreundlichkeit und authentische Küche. Gerne wieder!

Biriyani is not good, don’t try it

Sehr leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal.

Authentic Tamilnadu style Restaurant .. Must Try : Masal Dosa Kothuporotta ..

Bam! Bam! Bam! Make your tastebuds explode!

Authentisch lecker. Große Portionen nettes Personal. Empfehlung! ☝️ 💯👌

Sehr leckeres Essen und freundliche Bedienung. Auch vegetarisch ist man gut bedient.

One of the best restaurant for Dosa in Dortmund. This is a family-owned restaurant and the owners are very humble, hospitable and friendly. I ordered Masala Dosa and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. This place only accepts cash. I highly recommend Annam's Tamil Foods.

Zwei mal letzte Woche dagewesen und beide mal sehr leckeres Essen erhalten, welches mich an meine Eltern erinnert. Danke dafür!

Bin begeistert. Good Tamil Food. War einige male in sri lanka, muss sagen schmeckt fast wie dort. Personal freundlich und gekocht wird mit Leidenschaft. Angebote und Preise sind sehr gut und günstig. Für 10€ wird eine person gesund satt. Klare Empfehlung!

Waiter /owner is very rude and he don’t know how to behave. Not suitable for family with kids. Only take away is recommended.

Sehr freundliches Personal! Sehr leckeres Essen und die Location ist voll in Ordnung und sauber! Ich kann das Restaurant absolut weiterempfehlen! Wer tamilisch essen, für den ist Annam's Tamil Foods ein Muss! Sie haben kleine Häppchen, aber auch gutes Essen mit einer angemessenen Portion!

Food was good but it could be better as all the curry taste same

Sehr leckeres Essen, sehr leckerer Marsala Chai, sehr netter Service. Vielen Dank :)

Sehr leckeres Essen! Das preisleistungsverhältnis ist top und der masala chai sehr zu empfehlen. Ich werde wiederkommen

Das Restaurant war super! Der Besitzer war sehr freundlich und lieb und man hat sich sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Wir waren zu viert hier und jeder hat von seinem Gericht geschwärmt. Ich empfehle die Nr. 51, da gibt es von allem etwas :) Kommt her!

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.

Das Bistro hat 8 Tische. Nach 20 Minuten habe ich die Speisekarte bekommen, dann 10 Minuten später ist die Bestellung aufgenommen. Mango Lassi war nicht bestellbar weil der Mango Pulp nicht lieferbar ist, sagte der Bediener, obwohl ich gerade von der TRS Brothers gegenüber eine Dose gekauft habe. Nach eine lange Wartezeit kam die Bestellung (unten im Bild). Die Präsentation war nicht sehr appetitlich und die Chutneys waren wie Prasaadam serviert oder wie Probemengen. Der Sambaar ist kein Sambaar gewesen! Ich komme selbst aus Kerala und kenn mich mit den Gerichten aus. Also, der Laden hat keine Sterne verdient! Grotten schlecht im Service, kein deutscher Standard. Kein Standard überhaupt.

Bestes tamilisches Restaurant in Deutschland! Schmeckt wie in der Heimat, moderate Preise und Hammer vom Geschmack, wir kommen immer gerne hin!

Mein absolutes Lieblingsrestaurant! Hier gibt es das perfekte tamilische Essen. Wir kommen aus Aachen, aber wann immer es möglich ist, machen wir einen Abstecher zu Annams. Das Essen schmeckt überragend, alles frisch zubereitet, die Preise sind angemessen und die Besitzer sehr herzlich! Ich freue mich auf meinen nächsten Besuch.

Das beste Essen, was ich seit Jahren gegessen habe! Klingt das übertrieben? Mag sein, aber mich haben die vielen Currys und das Dosa voll überzeugt!! Zudem gibt es die meisten vegetarischen Speisen auch in vegan ohne dass man beim Geschmack Abzüge machen muss! Einfach großartig!

Gutes Essen, sauberes Ambiente.

Sehr, sehr freundliche Besitzer und tolles tamilisches Essen. Wir mochten das Ambiente sehr. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder 🙂

Hervorragendes Essen, sehr guter Service. Wir waren das erste, aber sicher nicht das letzte Mal hier.

Double massala Dosa time :D propper south indian food. We loved it.

Loved the food! Staff is very friendly and welcoming! Will come back next time in Dortmund 😀

Echt lecker, normale Preise, bin sehr satt geworden, nette Leute, gehen auf Vorlieben ein. Vielen Dank

Very bad experience with the owner of the restaurant. First we ordered masala tea, samosas and idli with sambar. The samosas were too small..so after eating we asked him for another food which is paper dosha..he was very rude at the time and said..why can't you say that first, other people are waiting ,we said sorry (within one minute we said we need one more Samosa because a kid was with us and she was hungry). He was again too rude and slammed his hand on the table and went back. We cancelled the two orders, paid the bill and went back. It is our decision when to order.... He has no right to be rude to the customers.... Very very bad experience... Very bad customer service... And also when we ask for any items mentioned in the menu..he says it is not there or it’s over..and force us to buy what he tells..

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.

Sehr schöner Laden, leckere Küche und extrem nette Bedienung! Nur zu empfehlen. Auf Wunsch auch viele Gerichte vegan möglich.

One of the worst customer service ever. I ordered kothu and coco-cocla, the food is below average. For the payment , I gave my card but the owner told they only accept cash. After paying , I grab my coco cola tin and try to come out ( becasue I only had half of it and there was still some cola left in my tin). Suddenly , the waiter stopped me and ask for the tin. I told I already paid so why should I need to give it to back. He told pay the tin money 25 cents euro and go. I was really shocked the behaviour of the owener. I told when I was paying to cola it's already included in the price. But he declined and warned me next time don't do it. I feel insulted.

Nice food. Authentic south indian food. Highly recommended. Kothuporota was huge in Portion and very tasty especially lamb kothuroti

Delicious food, friendly people, good vibe. Highly recommended

Herzliche Bedienung und köstliches Essen!

I had a Roti with Lamb and my friend a vegetable Roti. Only payment with Cash, which is not advised beforehand. The curry is oily and fatty. The lamb is in tiny pieces and doesn't taste good. The Roti with vegetables doesn't have vegetables but rather a sweet potato curry. However we complaint and the owner brought vegetables and the Roti were really nice. Also the Masala Chai was quite nice. For this mixed experience I give 3 stars instead of 1.

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.

Authentic, homely and delicious. Very fairly priced food.

Wir waren das erste Mal da viel Auswahl Bedienung richtig freundlich aufmerksam Essen muss man Mal durchprobieren und sich an die Gewürze gewöhnen man mag es mehr oder weniger wir haben das Essen untereinander getauscht damit man einiges probieren kann ja ich kann nur sagen das muss jeder für sich Mal ausprobieren

Sehr lecker, große Portionen, fairer Preis und super Service.

Excellent taste! Brought my home-land back in taste aswell ambience.

Good South Indian foos and excellent hospitality.

Sehr netter Besitzer und sehr leckeres Essen!

Marvellous food As same as eating at Home 🏡

Das Essen ist hier sehr lecker, die Preise derzeit günstig. Die Bedienung ist wirklich sehr herzlich , freundlich und zuvorkommend. Ich liebe tamilisches Essen, komme gerne wieder hier hin. Kann es absolut empfehlen. Liebe Grüße

Mir wurde Annam von einem indischen Kollegen empfohlen. Die Küche ist absolut authentisch und sehr günstig für das was man bekommt. Der Besitzer bedient seine Frau kocht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und es war wie ein kleiner Ausflug nach Südindien!

Very tasty and authentic south indian/srilankan food, totally love it. I travel from Münster to Dortmund with my friends just for the food here
