THAMARAI Restaurant Heilbronn in Heilbronn

We love Thamarai - eat here often and always enjoy coming back! Great, authentic restaurant with very tasty food!!!!

An absolute highlight! The Sri Lankan cuisine at this restaurant is authentic, fresh and full of flavor. The spice mixtures in particular are a delight for the senses. The staff is friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. If you love exotic flavors, this is the right place for you! I can highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back. 5/5 stars!

I visited this restaurant for the first time and it was an unforgettable evening. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the decor exudes an authentic Sri Lankan vibe. The service is excellent - the staff are friendly, helpful and always smiling. The most important thing is of course the food! The flavors are incredible and the dishes are prepared with the utmost care and freshness. I can particularly recommend the lamb curry and mango lassy!

Wir waren schon öfters da, immer wieder gerne, sehr zu Empfehlen:) Traditionelle Sri Lanka Küche, angenehmer Service

The food tasted good. Unfortunately we had to wait 75 minutes because there were a lot of orders ready to be picked up.

Tamil restaurants are truly a rarity and EVERYTHING is just right here. The food is great, the service is pleasant and friendly and the atmosphere is very inviting. I'll definitely be back and hope that this restaurant stays around for a long time - definitely a highlight in Heilbronn!

I recently visited the restaurant. We ordered paneer butter masala and nan. Really food was very good. Taste was also upto the mark. Good service.

I recently visited the restaurant. Food quality was good. The taste of the food was also good. We really enjoyed the food. Great restaurant.

Very nice little restaurant. It's something different that you don't have that often. But it is very spicy. So for someone who can't tolerate spicy food, it's rather difficult. Unfortunately you can't change the sharpness. Very tasty in terms of taste.

Nice and cozy. Very good food. Great service, fast and friendly. Good prices.

Super tasty authentic food, very nice service, good parking situation. Gladly again.

Super delicious food & friendly service

Very nice restaurant! The food is very tasty, authentic! Everyone can find something for themselves!

I recently visited Thamarai and was very pleased by the authentic Tamil cuisine and the warm, friendly service. I particularly enjoyed the chicken Rolls, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful filling. The Kottu Rotti was another highlight, bursting with spices and a great balance of textures. If you're looking for authentic Tamil food served with a personal touch, Thamarai is definitely the place to go.

Authentic Tamil and Sri Lankan cuisines offered at Thamarai Restaurant in Heilbronn-very vegetarian - and vegan-friendly. The menu provided had varieties; moreover, the spice level can be adjusted according to your taste. Ambience is nice, staff very friendly, and the service was very attentive. If one must wait, it surely shall be worth waiting for. Parking is also available and convenient. Thamarai is one of the places for those desiring a taste of true South Indian and Sri Lankan cuisines.

I recently visited the THAMARAI Restaurant in Heilbronn, and I was thoroughly impressed with both the food and service. The flavors were authentic and incredibly delicious, with standout dishes like the Lamm Kothu Rotti, Ceylon Chicken Curry, and Jaffna Prawns Curry. Each dish was packed with spices and cooked to perfection, offering a rich and satisfying experience. The staff was attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. If you're in Heilbronn and craving some top-notch Indian food, this place is a must-visit!

Absolutely love Thamarai! The food here is fantastic, and the service is exceptional. I tried the Lamm Kothu Roti and Briyani, and both dishes were amazing. The Kothu Roti, in particular, blew my mind—definitely something that makes me curious to explore more of Sri Lankan cuisine. The Briyani was perfectly spiced and flavorful. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to share insights about the dishes, which adds a lot to the dining experience. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic flavours and a welcoming atmosphere.

Fantastic food, tastes like you're on vacation. Very nice service, family-like!

We've been to Thamarai several times and the food has always been fantastic. The Lassi is a dream and the service and ambience leave nothing to be desired. Keep it up! Thank you for existing!

5 Sterne. Leckeres Essen, kleine aber feine Karte. Personal auch super nett und freundlich. Wir kommen gerne wieder :)

Great food. Nice restaurant with a small but fine menu. Nice staff :). We'd love to come back!

Ceylon Chicken Curry with Coconut Appam is a must try dish.

Very tasty and great staff. There is a star deduction for the longer waiting time. Definitely happy again

Very tasty food and friendly service. Portions are a little smaller in size, but there is always new rice for free.

The food took a while, but it was very tasty.

Very tasty food. Unfortunately the waiting time was extremely long. There weren't very many guests there, but we were there with a large group. Good vegetarian and vegan selection.

We ordered three different dishes and each one was great!Traditional cuisine, attentive and friendly service and absolutely recommended!

The restaurant is located in a quiet area and offers a pleasant atmosphere. The dishes are not only beautiful but also spotlessly clean. The staff is great, smiles often and strives to serve guests quickly. The food is incredibly delicious. It was my first time trying Sri Lankan cuisine and it made it straight into my top 5. We ordered two different chicken dishes, which incidentally were halal. The dessert was also excellent. Thank you for the wonderful experience. I recommend this restaurant to everyone!

It couldn't be more authentic. Here the mother cooks personally 🥰. The butter chicken was good to “put in”. The mango and avocado salad is very refreshing for the season. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻.

An absolute highlight in Heilbronn. There are only a few restaurants that I can unconditionally recommend and THAMARAI is one of them!

Very tasty authentic food. Highly recommend.

Amazing food, very good service! Best Indian food in Heilbronn. Highly recommend!! 🙏🏻

Food okay, very small portions and long waiting times. I ordered the “Butter Chicken” dish and it consists solely of chicken, 2 slices of pepper and the curry sauce, without any other vegetables. The waiting time was 45 minutes, unfortunately too long for the crowd! Service was okay, location too.

Highly recommended! Creative, young cuisine. Lots of vegetarian and vegan, but also meat and seafood. Due to renovations it looks very inconspicuous from the outside, but that doesn't detract from the food. We will be back!

Delicious and varied! Gladly again !

very authentic, great terrace and nice service

Very tasty cuisine, especially the Kothu Roti. Service and friendliness top!

A nice little menu that is completely sufficient. I found the food very authentic and tasty. The service was very nice and attentive. The waiting times OK. The only thing I missed on the menu was a normal salty lassi. I would come back.

I haven't eaten so well in a long time

The food is delicious! Lived in Malaysia for a long time and here in the Thamarai it is like authentically cooked there! Great praise 👍

Super delicious food. Spicy is great even for people who don't eat very spicy food. Everything is given in small pepperonis. :) Mango Lassi extremely helpful!

Service very polite. Food was very good but a bit too spicy for my taste.

Super delicious food with authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. Family business and you can taste the spices and the lovingly prepared food from your mother. We also regularly order for pickup and in the summer we look forward to the summer menu and the changing special weeks. Please note that all dishes have a certain level of spiciness, but you can choose the level of spiciness individually. Definitely an insider tip in Heilbronn.

Really? Sorry, but what was that? I ordered to be picked up and everything worked out. At home I unpacked and, among other things, ordered garlic naan twice, but at the THAMARAI restaurant in Heilbronn that means tortilla with garlic water twice. And one piece only costs 4 euros! This is a rip off. Never again in my life. I don't know why this restaurant has 4.7 stars.

Always very tasty food. Small but nice card with nothing missing.

Best Indian Restaurant in Heilbronn. Tasty food and good service. Must try - Lamb kothu rotti, Ceylon Chicken curry and Jaffna Prawns curry.

Fantastic food! Great service. Can recommend it without reservations.

It is advisable to make a reservation as the restaurant is busy. Service very good, friendly staff. Dishes taste great with the exotic spices. The sharpness can be chosen. Portions are sufficient. The price-performance ratio is right. Unfortunately there are a little longer waiting times for the food to arrive. But it wasn't a problem for us. There are parking spaces in front of the house or opposite.

Small restaurant simple yet beautifully designed. Service was great and we were able to make a reservation at short notice on Saturday evening. My meal was a dream for me. 🙏🙏🙏😊

Costly and quantity is very less but mutton items are very good

Nice little restaurant in Sontheim. We felt very comfortable and the food tasted very good!

Very tasty dishes. Everything freshly prepared.

Thamarai is a wonderful restaurant. The furniture was chosen with a lot of love, the space and the employees exude a great sense of calm. You enjoy sitting there. But even better than the atmosphere is the food. The boss cooks personally. The menu is manageable, but every single dish is made with love, good products and spices. Compared to a run-of-the-mill Indian restaurant, Thamarai is simply cozier, more personal and the food is much more tasty. We'll treat ourselves to another evening at Thamarai soon.

Very tasty food. If you don't eat an appetizer, the portions are too small. Unfortunately we had to wait a little longer. But there were only 3 tables occupied. Definitely would have made more drinks sales. But we'll be back.

We reached today at 19:30 for eating food and the waitress dispite of having open tables denied to serve food saying that the kitchen will close soon.... If kitchen is closing at 8 please change your opening hours... It says you are open till 10 pm but service not available at 7:30 PM.... Horrible!!!

We had a really great birthday dinner with >20 people at THAMARAI. Very tasty, authentic and nice service. Thank you again and gladly again.

Great food. Always happy to come back It's better to reserve in advance on the weekend

Very tasty food, unfortunately the service is very bad. The selection of drinks, especially the wine selection in a wine region, is also not special.

Clear menu and top selection, especially for lactose and gluten-free wishes! And of course it was super tasty ☺️🙏🏼

Very tasty Indian food. The staff is also very friendly. Gladly again.

We got a place straight away. The drinks also came quickly. But then we had to wait forever for our food because the restaurant is quite small and not all the tables were occupied. It was very loud while waiting. When the food came, it wasn't worth the wait. The rice was not enough for 2 people (was served in 1 bowl) and bland. The rest of the food was good, but nothing special. There wasn't much choice of dishes either - just two sides including starters and desserts (2 each to choose from). I was hoping for more.

toller Abend, tolles authentisches Essen. Wir kommen definitiv wieder

Wunderbar!! Wir kommen wieder. 😊

Excellent food in a cozy restaurant, very friendly staff. Try the Ceylon Chicken!

Nettes kleines Restaurant. Kleine Speisekarte aber für jeden was zu finden. Speisen sind lecker. Ein Lokal um mal eine andere Küche zu erleben.

Leckeres Essen und gute Preise.

Geheimer Typ Heilbronn. Sehr gutes Essen und auch wirklich scharf. Lohnt sich echt

Das vegane Linsen Paruppu war mega lecker, das Tamko war kräftig und deftig und das Butter Chicken einfach nur wow! Der supernette Service rundete das Erlebnis ab. Wir kommen gerne mal wieder.

Ein unscheinbares kleines Restaurant. Leider von außen nicht erkennbar,wegen Renovierungsarbeiten. Die Portionen sind nicht zu groß und lassen noch Platz für das einzige,aber sehr leckere Dessert.

Super tolles Restaurant mit noch tollerem Essen!! Absolute Empfehlung

Leckeres Essen und super Service 👍🙂

Unsere Gerichte waren allesamt sehr lecker (Butter Chicken, Tamko, vegetarisches Panir Butter Masala) und die Kellnerin ausgesprochen nett. Ja, es hat — obwohl wir die einzigen Gäste waren — recht lange gedauert (ca. eine halbe Stunde), bis das Essen gebracht wurde, aber gut Ding will eben Weile haben. 🙂 Das Ambiente ist nett und man kann schön draußen sitzen. Die Teinacher-Sonnenschirme wirken etwas billig und wenn wir drinnen gesessen wären, hätte die recht laute srilankische Pop-Musik etwas gestört, aber alles in allem kann ich das Restaurant sehr empfehlen. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt!

Sehr gutes Essen 😋 ist eine neue Erfahrung mal was ganz anderes sehr zum empfehlen.

Das Essen ist wirklich sehr lecker und absolut empfehlenswert! Das Thamarai ist Familiengeführt. Das Personal und die Familie sind super freundlich. Wir waren schon mehrmals hier und fühlen uns sehr wohl, absolut empfehlenswert! Auch mit Hund auf der Terrasse kein Problem.

Das bestellte Essen war sehr schmackhaft und reichlich. Sehr guter und netter Service. Normale Wartezeit auf unsere Speisen, mit einer kleinen Pause zwischen Vor - und Hauptspeise. Hat uns sehr gefallen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Unser Besuch im THAMARAI Restaurant in Heilbronn war leider enttäuschend. Die größte Herausforderung war die extrem lange Wartezeit, obwohl nur zwei weitere Tische im Außenbereich besetzt waren. Dies führte zu Frustration und einem unangenehmen Start unseres Abends. Die Vorspeisen waren in Ordnung, aber sie waren nichts Besonderes und hatten eine unangenehme Fettigkeit. Wir hatten gehofft, dass die Hauptspeisen unsere Erfahrung aufwerten würden, aber leider waren sie sehr fade und geschmacklos. Dies galt insbesondere für die vegetarischen Gerichte, die wir bestellt hatten. Es ist wirklich schade, dass die Qualität und der Geschmack der Speisen nicht unseren Erwartungen entsprachen, insbesondere wenn man bedenkt, wie viel Geld wir für das Essen ausgegeben haben. Das Personal war höflich, aber die kulinarische Erfahrung war für uns nicht zufriedenstellend.

Wir waren das erste Mal im THAMARAI. Wir wurden freundlich empfangen. Schon beim Lesen der Speisekarte gab es den ersten Pluspunkt. Die Speisekarte ist nicht überladen, trotzdem ist für jeden Geschmack reichlich Auswahl. Die Kennzeichnung der Schärfegrade war gut und richtig. Um vieles auszuprobieren bestellten wir neben den Hauptgerichten auch jeweils eine Vorspeise. Alle Speisen waren gut gewürzt ohne den Geschmack der einzelnen Zutaten zu überdecken. Der Service war gut. Das Ambiente in dem kleinen Restaurant war gut, es gibt nur einen kleinen Punktabzug, weil von außen nicht ersichtlich ist, dass hier ein Restaurant ist. Das ist im Moment sicherlich den Umbaumaßnahmen am Haus selbst geschuldet und wird sicherlich noch geändert. Ein Restaurantbesuch, der sich für Liebhaber fernöstlicher Küche auf jeden Fall gelohnt hat. Weiter so

Sehr sehr leckeres Essen in einem kleinen freundlichen Restaurant in entspannter Atmosphäre auf der Terrasse. Wir kommen sicher wieder!

Sehr leckeres und spezielles Essen und guter Service.

Sehr leckeres authentisches Essen

Sehr leckeres Essen. Gute Entdeckung :)!

Seher leckeres Essen, netter Service. Ambiente wird gerade umgebaut. Daher kleiner Punktabzug. Sonst sehe zu empfehlen!

Das Essen und der Lassi waren extrem lecker und der Service sehr nett. Danke für den tollen Abend, wir kommen wieder :)

Schon öfters zu Gast gewesen und immer durchweg zufrieden. Tolles Essen, sowohl mit Fleisch, wie auch vegetarisch und vegan. Kleine, ausgewählte Karte.

War heute zum ersten Mal dort und bin mehr als angenehm überrascht ... sehr empfehlendswert 🤗👍

Im Thamarai kann man wundervoll speisen. Die Speisekarte ist klein, aber was drauf ist, schmeckt super. Die Mutter der Besitzerin kocht. Wer etwas Besonderes kulinarisch erleben will und auch freundlich bedient, der gehe nach Sontheim ins Thamarai.

Beim ersten Mal war es so gut, dass ich dringend wieder hin muss! Ein bisschen abgelegen, leider nur abends offen und im Januar sogar ganz geschlossen, ist es doch auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert für Liebhaber der guten südindischen oder asiatischen Küche (tamilisch)

Eine kleine aber feine Speisekarte...man schmeckt die Kochkunst aus der Küche. Wunderbar gewürzt, wie im Urlaub. Gerne immer wieder;)

Absolut köstlich! Sowohl vegetarisch, als auch mit Hühnchen! Reis mit schwarzen Sesam. Der Mango Nachtisch war himmlisch Sehr netter Service.

Die Gerichte sind sehr authentisch zubereitet. Das Ambiente ist sehr nett. Die Weinauswahl könnte noch verfeinert werden. Einzig der Service sollte noch verbessert werden. Ansonsten eine Berreicherung für Heilbronn.

Das Restaurant befindet sich in einer gut erreichbaren Lage mit einzelnen Parkplätzen direkt vor dem Gebäude. Gegenüber ist ein öffentlicher Parkplatz mit genügend Plätzen. Das Restaurant selbst ist sehr neu und einige Stellen sind noch in Fertigstellung. Die Inneneinrichtung ist zurückhaltend und ist einladend. Der Service ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Es wird regelmäßig nach dem Befinden gefragt und dafür gesorgt, dass man zufrieden ist. Die Karte ist reduziert und sehr schön gestaltet. Die Auswahl ist dadurch einfacher. Das Essen selbst ist sehr aromatisch und köstlich. Die Schärfe wird nach Wunsch angepasst. Bin vom Geschmack begeistert! Kann ein Besuch im Restaurant nur empfehlen. Beste indische Restaurant in Heilbronn meiner Meinung nach.
