Oota South Indian Restaurant in Regensburg

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.

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.

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!

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 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, ...)

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

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 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!

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!!!

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

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

At Oota, the Indian cuisine stands out with its bold flavors and authentic preparations. The menu offers a delightful range of dishes, from the rich, creamy butter chicken to the aromatic biryanis. The spices are perfectly balanced, creating dishes that are both comforting and complex. The naan is soft and freshly baked, complementing the flavorful curries. Service is attentive, and the ambiance adds to the overall experience, making Oota a great place for anyone craving traditional Indian food with a modern twist.

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

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.

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.

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...

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.

Good South Indian restaurant in Regensburg

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

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!

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.

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!

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

Authentic and very unique recipes from South of India.

If you’re craving authentic South Indian flavors, OOTA in Regensburg is a must-visit! From the perfectly spiced Biriyani to the flavourful Kheema Dosa and Chats, every dish is a treat for the taste buds. The ambience is cozy, and the service is warm and welcoming. A true gem for anyone who loves South Indian cuisine! Menu offers wide range of authentic South Indian dishes, every dish crafted to perfection. A must visit place if you’re in Regensburg.

This restaurant is an absolute highlight for all lovers of Indian cuisine! The food is simply outstanding – from the flavors to the presentation, every dish was a delight. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. There is also a wonderful, authentic atmosphere that invites you to feel good. Absolutely recommended!

Best Indian restaurant in Regensburg. You can enjoy Indian specialties there. Recommended.

We were here for lunch. The food was tasty, we ordered a chicken biryani and mutton curry. Loved the mutton curry but the biryani was not made with basmati rice, while the white rice with the curry was not fully cooked. Our drinks took about 20-30 mins to be served.

Very surprised at the type of food. The format is not like other Indian restaurants. This is probably because we ordered from the lunch menu. It was very tasty and filling for a reasonable price. The meat was crispy, the rice pancakes were something new. Staff was friendly. Recommended.

Never expected to find a lovely authentic South Indian restaurant in the heart of Regenburg …. Must try

Good place for Indians and Europeans at Regensburg for typical South Indian food which is yummy and great.! Great food and good Indian drinks.! Awesome place.!!

Starters were good. Main course way too spicy, even though it wasn't that excellent on the menu. Wine bottle was charged more expensive than it says on the menu.

Very nice restaurant .... staff very friendly you feel really comfortable as a guest 🙏

Everything is pretty good so far. The food tasted OK I had imagined more for South India. Please note that the toilets only have one flight of stairs and are not suitable for people with walking difficulties or wheelchair users

Highly recommend this restaurant and they have the delicious delicacies….. when ur in Germany don’t miss to visit them

Considering the fresh ingredients and flavourful dishes, you really get more than what U pay for. Loved it

Had a wonderful experience with delicious food and amazing staff.

Best place to have authentic Indian/South Indian food 🤤 in Germany. The ambience, the service and the staff are friendly and great. A must visit, and you guys wont regret it. Will visit again soon. Thank you Oota😊

I recently dined at Oota and it was an outstanding experience. Every dish was delicious.Great ambience. The service was very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend!

The food tasted just like home, bringing back authentic and nostalgic Indian flavors

Over rated! Chicken curry was ok. Drink was a let down. Porotta was pretty awful. They have a large number of customers due to rating probably. Mentality of staff is far from warm.

Very tasty south Indian food. Would go back immediately.

If you want to taste an authentic south India dish then oota is the best place to visit! Met the owners of the restaurant and they were really nice to talk to. Visited yesterday for the first time and of course will come back again and again!

Food and service was good. Definitely recommend.

Super delicious South Indian food. Fluffy dosa, hearty (and sometimes wonderfully spicy) curries, matching side salad of chickpeas, mango and cucumber. We had lunch, were served very friendly and quickly and will be back soon.

For me one of the two best Indian restaurants in the city. 100% recommendation

The food here is fantastic!! The best restaurant in Germany. Everything we ordered had a perfect blend of spices and the quality of food was amazing. Fantastic chicken and mutton options. Chat options are also tasty. Must try: Chicken Kheema Dosa. :)

Biggest point of criticism: There is no lassi The very nice waiter explained to us that lassi comes from the north of India and that's why the south Indian restaurant doesn't have lassi. Wikipedia says the other way around. But I believe the waiter more. Unfortunately there is no Indian beer on the menu either. So I tried the Indian buttermilk (I think there was ginger in it), which really wasn't bad. Food was good. We just couldn't confirm the level of spiciness information on the card. Sometimes the food was spicier or milder. But it was within the tolerance range. You can also sit outside on the sidewalk. But cars drive past and if you're unlucky there's a smell coming from the drain (but it doesn't come from the restaurant)

Everything fine! Always my pleasure!

Super tasty and absolutely authentic!

Excellent place for authentic indian food, will definitely be a regular here!

Amazing food, atmosphere! Must try their mouthwatering spread!

We had our lunch in Oota during our visit to Regensburg. It is one of the best South Indian restaurants I have visited in Europe. Food is very tasty and authentic. Staff is very friendly (they made sure to ask us how the food was), service is quick and ambience is also very good. We had Mysore bajji, Konkani Valval, Eggplant curry, Parotta, Masala Majigiye and blueberry mint mocktail.

One of the best Indian restaurants around

They offer good to go. When you arrive you are told that a restaurant has run out of food. The restaurant could cancel at any time

Came by with my friends and had a great meal. It felt like home food. The prices are also reasonable compared to the price. All in all a great meal and great service.

delicious food and good service. Lot of vegetarian options available

During our visit to Regensburg we visited this wonderful restaurant. From the first bite it felt like home cooked food. It was very delicious and the staff was very friendly.

Really good and authentic south indian food. The mutton and fish preparations are really good and delicious. The chaats could be better, but since chaats are not south indian traditional, its understandable. The desserts are really good. One of the best south indian restaurants (incl. Meat dishes) in Germany I would say.
