Oota South Indian Restaurant in Regensburg

After trying several Indian restaurants in Regensburg, Oota is by far the best in all of Regensburg! If you want authentic Indian food, this is the place for you! I think the pictures speak more than a thousand words!

Visited Oota restaurant yesterday evening to have onam sadhya. It was very delicious , every curry and especially Adapradhaman. Literally asked them to serve each curry atleast twice or thrice, and they were very kind enough to do that. And I really appreciate it. Thankyou so much ❤️ I will definitely visit again with my friends.

Really nice food from Kerala. If you have the opportunity try the Sadya menu during Onam.

Very well organized onam Sadhya feast this afternoon , we had a great time! Thankyou !

One of the very few restaurants that serve authentic South Indian food. Great food and great service, atmosphere is ok but ain't no one going there for atmosphere lol. We go there for food. Yum yum yum yum

Authentic South Indian Restaurant in entire Germany. The owners are very sweet and kind persons. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who would like to taste the incredible south Indian tastes.

South Indian food lovers, you NEED to try this place! 🌶️🍛 The moment you walk in, the smell of fresh spices hits you – and trust me, it’s heavenly. Starters are a highlight here. They have not Europeanised the dishes. They have a very authentic South Indian food. From soft, fluffy idlis to crispy dosas and rich, spicy Chettinad curries, every bite tastes like it’s straight out of a South Indian kitchen. The sambar? Tangy and perfect. The chutneys? Fresh and packed with flavor. Don’t even get me started on the Kerala-style seafood – absolute game-changer! 🐟🔥 The vibe is warm and cozy, and the staff is super friendly – they’ll even help you pick dishes if you’re new to the cuisine. After travelling through out Europe trying a lot of Indian restaurants the prices are very very reasonable, and you’ll definitely leave full and happy.

Oota - the place where Regensburg meets the true taste of South India. Authentic food with great taste on each dish. Every bite will be bring you the true essence of South Indian food and every dish feels fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The ambience is charming, with photos of iconic South Indian monuments and cultural elements that instantly transport you to India. A must visit place for anyone who is looking for perfect south indian flavours in Regensburg.

I used to think Regensburg does not have proper Indian restaurants but lately more options started to come up. This place is marketed as more specific to South Indian cuisines. The menu options certainly reflect this. You can see common South Indian dish names. The mutton curry was OK i guess, nothing to write home about. Service is good. I liked the ginger tea, this was nice. Overall i can't give it 5 stars, the biggest reason being they don't accept card payment, only Paypal and cash? In 2025? Please sort it out.

It was a busy morning after a night of partial sleep and loads of work, so I decided to eat out. We went to our usual spot, Oota, hoping for some comfort food to recharge. Tired and drained, we stepped in — and were instantly greeted by the staff’s warm smiles. They introduced us to their new lunch menu, Chatti Choru — a traditional meal from my motherland that’s rarely available here. The moment we heard it, our exhaustion turned into excitement. When the food arrived, the aroma of the fish curry alone brought a smile to our faces. Every bite was rich in flavor, reminding us of home — like eating a lovingly prepared meal straight from our mom’s kitchen. By the time we finished, all the tiredness had melted away, replaced by energy, happiness, and that indescribable contentment only good food can bring. The photo we took might not do justice to the meal — we were simply too eager to dive in! Thank you, Oota team ❤️ — you didn’t just serve us a meal, you served us a piece of home.

Oota in Regensburg is a gem! Delicious and authentic food, bursting with flavor and served with so much love. We shared every dish and felt like we were having a cozy family feast. An amazing place for both great taste and warm hospitality!

Best authentic indian food in Germany

Really a great dining experience !

We had very nice food, would recommended ghee roast dosa and podi idli.

The food was amazing! Truly felt the authentic South Indian taste. I also tried the Kerala Sadya dishes, and they were absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

Best South Indian food in Bayern!!

The best south indian foods. Must try item; pepper chicken,Poori, Mutton fry and Dosa

Authentic, south Indian food, much better and different than any other Indian restaurant one commonly finds in Germany (or all of EU for that matter). Starters were good and there was authentic south Indian flavours in them. Main course on the other hand was underwhelming compared to the staters - talking about vegetarian lunch options on a weekend, which is quiet limited, compared to what we saw on the weekday menu. We felt some items were overpriced too. Service though is a bit of a problem. It took over 40 minutes to get the starters, which then arrived about 15 mins apart between the 4 items we ordered. Main course was 20 mins after that and nobody asked for refilling drinks. Went in hungry, almost left hungry... Staff seemed overwhelmed and not very friendly but did apologise multiple times for the delay in service, which hopefully improves in the future.

We've been sitting outside for over an hour and haven't gotten any food. Everyone who came into the restaurant after us is already eating. Never again!

The food is very below average. Based on the Google reviews, we expected a much higher standard. Out of three people, not one was satisfied with their lunch.

I'm usually hard to convince, but the food was amazing! Friendly staff and incredible food!

We were delighted to happen on this authentic South Indian restaurant in Regensburg. The menu reflects representative dishes and condiments from the south, executed with a balance of spiciness and delicacy. Excellent service and attention to what compliments customer orders. Love the outdoor seating too.

Sitting outside was very nice. The food was very good. I would go again.

Very authentic and truly delicious food! We would come back anytime!

The food was well seasoned and everything tasted good. The service seemed a bit overwhelmed.

Cannot recommend this restaurant. I read the positive reviews and took a chance. The portions were poor considering the cost. The food was okay but not special. I wasted my money.

Expensive starters with little food. Slow service food was not that great, not the nice atmosphere portrayed in the photos. I never complain about restraurants but this was very disappointing.

I recently went to Oota, to try their Diwali menu. The food was so yummy, just like homemade dishes! I've been to Oota a bunch of times before, and every visit feels like a taste of home. The food is fantastic, and the staff is super friendly. This time, during Diwali, they had some special dishes that were delicious and made the celebration even better. Oota is one of the best restaurants I've been to in Europe!

We had a chance to try Oota in Regensburg this weekend. We went there for a lunch and the tables were available easy. We ordered a Watermelon Mint Mocktail which was just about OK. We then ordered a Ghee roast Masala Dosa, Bonda soup, Idly Vada Sambar and Paneer ghee roast Tacos. All of the items were very fresh in mouth and tasted ridiculously good. The winners for me were the Paneer Ghee Roast Tacos (best in spicy !) and the Vada. I absolutely loved eating here after a long time, will definitely visit here again.

Food was awesome but Service was really poor

Must visit authentic indian restaurant!!! Super delicious and unique cuisine!!!

My eyes lit up when I saw the name, nostalgic, having been in Germany for 6months now, by far the best Indian food I would say. Had the non veg thali and Appam, it was on point. A short walk from hbf, the ambience is nice, walls have wonderful pictures of Bangalore , India - ties the whole setup together.

Very long wait, but food was good.

We have ordered from Oota for a event and the food was amazing. The quality of food was on point . It was warm and tasty. Starter was crispy. Korma was spot on with spice and less oil. Must mention that Sheethal was in contact throughout the discussions and confirmations. Really happy to ordered with her and looking forward to order for other events.

Delicious South Indian food served in a beautifully designed ambiance. Highly recommended! :)

Authentic taste and definitely recommend for folks who like spicy 🌶️ The service was awesome and thanks to Rhea

Very friendly service, very hard working. You can also sit outside, cozy little alley... Extensive map, The food was very tasty, but the level of spiciness 2 (2 pepperoni) was very spicy. We were offered yogurt, which made the spiciness more bearable. Thanks for the attention.

We ordered two vegetarian dishes to be delivered and are sad to say we were very disappointed. Food was bathed in oil and we found it very tasteless.. Bread was stale and equally tasteless, there were no options for drinks and when out food arrived it was half heartedly wrapped. Bread almost loose in the bag and the currys covered in oil. Maybe its better eating there but I would not recommend getting take out here.

Nice kannada restaurant with a small menu. Food was good and service as well. The ambience is very fun with hilarious posters about Bangalore. Only drawback is that they only accept cash.

If you want to try out authentic Mangalorean cuisine, "Oota" is a must-visit place. Since I am endemic to a similar region, the food was absolutely delicious. I have been here multiple times, and every time, trying out different dishes was a delight. What I liked the most about the food was the veracity of spiciness. Personally, the meat-based dishes are always compelling for me. However, there are great options for vegetarian and vegan dishes too. Following are my recommendations if you want to (as it says on their menu), "break your spice virginity": Appetizers: - Chicken 65 & Gobi 65 - Ghee Roast Tacos (both variations, Chicken and Paneer) - Pepper Chicken - Mushroom Chili - Tulasi Chicken - Prawns Fry Main Course: - Ennai Katharikai - Kodi Miriyalu Kurma - Mysuru Koli Saaru - Mutton Saaru - Kori Gassi - Thengai Pal Meen Kozhambu What I liked most about the restaurant is their breads. They serve the breads from the South, like Parotta and Puris, unlike the mundane Naan. There are also many dosa items, out of which the Chicken Kheema Dosa is my favorite. Personally, I would highly recommend the above-mentioned dishes, as these are a must-try. Enjoy!

The wait time is long, especially if you go for dinner. The food is ok, the portions are small though. The atmosphere is nice.

Best Indian restaurant in Regensburg The service was also very nice PS: I redeemed the neotaste voucher afterwards as agreed

The food was really very good. This restaurant is highly recommended.

The ambiance was very nice, but unfortunately, the food wasn't particularly impressive. The sauce was quite tasteless, the vegetables seemed frozen, and after we said we were ready to pay, we had to wait over 40 minutes (and the service generally seemed overwhelmed).

The Kori Gassi with Parota was super delicious!

Moderate taste according to me. Dosa was Moderate. I ordered lemonade, but received sprite.

If you're a South Indian living in the Middle Franconia or Upper Palatinate region of Bavaria and missing the authentic taste of South Indian cuisine, then Oota is the place to be. I went there with my cousin in search of Pathiri and chicken, but unfortunately, the recent menu update had removed this item. As Parotta was also unavailable, we had to settle for Puri. However, we were in awe when we tasted the fried prawns and chicken curry—the flavors were spot on and reminded me of the food I used to have back home in Kerala. The unavailability of certain dishes wasn’t an issue, as it was due to the large weekend crowd. Despite not having a reservation, we were seated as soon as a table became available. The service team was exceptionally friendly, and the overall ambiance of the place was warm and cozy.

Excellent food and friendly service!! Definitely would recommend!!!!

Unfortunately no longer recommended. Last year we were totally amazed by this Indian restaurant, especially the spectacular dosas. Now a lot has changed, the dosa selection has shrunk to 4 and instead of the crispy rolls with various sauces you now get tiny, sparsely topped, limp pancakes with 1 spicy broth. A joke for the price, the chicken dosa is a small appetizer at a high price, the egg dosa consists of 2 of these pancakes with some unseasoned scrambled egg glaze on top. Really cheeky

Can really recommend the restaurant, super friendly service, delicious food (sauce was a bit too thin for me) and pleasant atmosphere. Gladly again

Finally an Indian in Regensburg who spices things up really well, not a soft-spoken "German Indian"! This doesn't mean "just spicy", but rather intense flavors. The food also contains crushed residues of spices, i.e. they butter in a lot of spices. This is what Indian must taste like! Please continue like this! Portions large, meat tender as butter, starters a dream. The coriander sauce is amazing! Only ordered so far, so no statement about the ambience and service is possible.

Finally an Indian who deserves the name. We like to come back again and again because the food is simply well seasoned and tastes wonderful. Yes, there is no mango lassie, probably because it would require syrup, and we get the impression that they avoid artificial ingredients at Oota. So definitely recommended!

Authentic south Indian restaurant with menu consisting for flavourful dishes from all southern states and is a restaurant apart from any other typical Indian places we have been to. Its warm, welcoming ambiance and great service makes the experience even better. A big thank you to the owner for bringing such a wonderful dining experience.

The food was great and the service was very friendly and quick

Hier werden südindische Gerichte in verschiedenen Schärfestufen serviert. Indische Getränke vermisst man auf der Karte. Der Service ist schnell und zuvorkommend.

Very nice restaurant, friendly service, the food is very tasty, but a bit too spicy for me

We were thrilled 👍 A big compliment to the waiter, who was alone but super quick, nice and friendly. Even though the place was full. I would recommend it 😎

Very tasty food. Service was very attentive :) and nice atmosphere. Unfortunately it was a bit cold in the restaurant.

We also enjoyed the food. We ordered Parichaat and Dosa as starters. They were very tasty. However, we were a bit disappointed with Byriani, but it was still delicious.

Our lunch at Oota was simply wonderful! The food was fresh, full of flavor and prepared with great care. The service was exceptionally friendly and supported us perfectly with our selection. A real highlight for everyone who appreciates good South Indian cuisine!

Lunch at Oota was a delight! The dishes were full of fresh, authentic flavors and prepared with a lot of love. The atmosphere was pleasant and the service was exceptionally friendly and attentive. A great place for a special and delicious lunch experience!

We went to Oota for lunch and tried the lunch special - it was delicious! You have to wait about 20 minutes for the food, which is absolutely fine as everything is freshly cooked. The quality and taste of the food was top. The waitress was also very polite and helped us a lot with the menu. Absolutely recommended!

Food was lukewarm, one dish was even cold. The starters didn't come at the same time but several minutes apart. The staff stood around with their cell phones most of the time and we weren't asked if we wanted something to drink again. In general, everything took quite a long time and the staff made a very unmotivated and unprofessional impression. I can't really understand the good reviews. I can only give one star for the taste.

This is the best Indian food in the world outside of India in my experience. I’ve lived in 11 different countries. Oota is my favorite restaurant in Germany. If you love spicy food, this is the place! Fantastic drinks and good homemade chai! We have to limit coming here to twice a month. We come here for all our special occasions like birthdays, anniversary, and holiday celebrations.

The menu offers a wide variety of options, and everything we tried was delicious. I especially loved the creative twists on classic dishes.”

The buffet for New Year's Eve was solid, the selection was reasonable, but much of it was too cold, the temperature in the restaurant was also too cold, and the atmosphere for the occasion was very spartan (no decorations, tables not provided, no tablecloths, ...)

I can only comment on the buffet event. The buffet was mostly filled with spicy food and the food was only labeled in English. There wasn't the largest selection, e.g. not much choice for non-spicy food. It took a long time to absorb the drinks.

Food is good and best part it is Indian style , not the generalised curry stuff which the Indian restaurant makes for non spicy taste buds . The service person was not well received and rude , should be improvised . Quantity could be checked and seen for improvement also for biriyani and shrimp fry and also on Poddi Idli.

Mutton chops was awesome...must try masala puri..... authentic Bangalore food feel

Very good, authentic Indian cuisine

The food is not prepared with love, the chicken has fat on it and doesn't taste good. There is far too little choice of meat.

Oota - +10 for the name in Kannada which means food. This place we discovered when we were casually looking for some pizza place in Regensburg and suddenly we saw south Indian food and we came here. Right from the entry to exit the hospitality and atmosphere is good. We ordered Bonda soup, podi idly, parotta, poori. All the food was good. One suggestion is to have salna ( kurma ) for parotta which will be a great combo. Thanks for the amazing food. Will visit again and recommend it.

Very Nice Restaurant, Tasty food and Nice Environment to spend time.

Very good South Indian cuisine. Very friendly service. Music in the background from the charts, but it doesn't bother you because it's not too loud. Recommendation!

Food is very tasty and the ambience is really nice and you can find a lot of options to eat

Finally, felt the vibes and taste of an Indian restaurant with every bite. we(2) personally tried "Podi Idly", "Sambar Bonda" and "Veg Biryani". I wish I could order more but the I couldn't bcz I am filled already with the quantity. And the Owner was awesome and a big bow to the chef. !!Must Try!!!

For those who appreciate spicy food, Oota does not disappoint. The menu clearly indicates the heat levels of each dish, allowing diners to choose according to their preference. The ‘very spicy’ options are indeed fiery, delivering an exhilarating culinary adventure. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to provide recommendations based on your spice tolerance.

Best South Indian restaurant in Regensburg. Located in the heart of the city. Beautiful ambience, spacious and homely. Food was delicious and service was great.

Good dishes very close to the original, especially when it comes to spiciness. Dishes are served in typical small bowls. Therefore, everyone can “try it out” from everyone. On weekends it is advisable to reserve a table in advance. The restaurant is located in the old town and can be easily reached on foot from the nearby parking garage at Bismarckplatz or Arnulfssplatz. Unfortunately there are steps at the entrance so wheelchair users can't just get in. Price wise it is reasonable. There were four of us and we only had to wait 15-20 minutes for the food.

Service was top and very friendly

Average food and preferential treatment by the owners. As an Indian, I felt unwelcomed here and if you look around, the owners will go around asking the Non-Indian tables for refills, if they need anything else but not even smile back at you. This is my experience based on several visits. I don’t understand their entitled mentality for substandard food to be honest. If the service here was not discriminatory by the owners, i would visit again.

We’ve visited this restaurant multiple times, hoping to satisfy our cravings for South Indian food. While the food is average, our experiences have consistently been disappointing. The waiters are courteous enough, but the attitude of the owners towards Indians is extremely disappointing. It’s disheartening to see them being warm and welcoming towards non-Indian customers while treating Indians like us, with a lack of enthusiasm and a sense that they’re doing us a favor by serving us. This consistent lack of hospitality is off-putting and overshadows the ambience and the food. After several such experiences, we’ve decided not to return. Hospitality is a key part of the dining experience, and sadly, this place fails in that regard.

Great food. Good prices. Highly recommend

Very nice food and ambience. I tried Biryani and tastes amazing.

Great food! There is nothing to complain about!

Finally, a south Indian restaurant in Regensburg. They serve authentic south Indian dishes. Everything I tried was delicious. Flavours were on point and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

Best Indian restaurant I've eaten in so far...

Good South Indian restaurant in Regensburg

One of the best places to have South Indian food in Germany. The food is as authentic as it can be! As a south Indian I felt like home. The food Ambience and the host all were great!

The food here was very psych. Me and my friends loved it here. Sopp saru Anna thuppa - total louu ❤️ home meal done 💯 oil cow was so damn crazy and layered chapatis, yappa superuu. To top it all coconut dessert ✨ even the butter milk was tasty with enough mint n ginger.

Amazing experience, top notch food, Felt like home ! Authenticity at its best 🫡

I recently visited this South Indian restaurant, which offers an impressive variety of dishes from different South Indian states. We tried the chicken curry dosa, which was deliciously flavorful, although mine was slightly oily for my taste. The masala tea complemented the meal nicely. A special mention to the bartenders, who were warm and welcoming, adding to the pleasant ambiance of the place. One must-try here is the Indri whiskey, recently awarded the best whiskey of 2024! The location was a bit tricky to find, but it was well worth it for the experience.

Außergewöhnliche südindische Küche mit besonderen Vorspeisen und leckeren unalkoholischen Cocktails. Die Schärfe entspricht nicht immer der Anzahl an Chilischoten in der Karte!😅

Everything was super tasty and came very quickly. Nice staff, but the atmosphere is somehow not Indian. But that's not so important, because there's still a nice atmosphere throughout.

Top class for the authenticity and the quality! Great place to enjoy some really original cuisines. Recommend to anyone irrespective of their familiarity and spice tolerance.

Oota in Regensburg is an absolute gem for anyone looking to experience authentic South Indian cuisine. The flavors are spot on, with each dish transporting you straight to Karnataka. From the spices to the textures, everything tastes just like home. The ambience is equally amazing—beautifully decorated with artifacts and photographs that showcase the vibrant culture of Karnataka and South India. It’s cozy, warm, and inviting. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re familiar with South Indian food or trying it for the first time, Oota is a must-visit!

Authentic south Indian veg and non veg food. The staff take care that the customers enjoy the food. A very very good Indian restaurant. Must visit

The food is excellent, fresh and tastefully prepared. The waiters are friendly and very nice. I will definitely come back and highly recommend the restaurant
