“ One of the best Kerala restaurants I visited in Germany. The roasted coconut chicken curry and chatti choru is a must try. ”
“ Don’t go here for the ambience- it is a small restaurant attached to a späti. Go here for a really authentic Kerala cuisine that you would expect to get in Kerala, India- the taste of generational cooking, spices tampered down a bit, but so nostalgic! Flaky parathas, sublime beef, falling off the bone chicken in a coconut curry. Simple, authentic, and truly warms the heart! ”
“ Being in amma Restaurant is like sitting in a coffee shop in south india. Good food and atmosphere. The taste of kerala style biriyani is beyond words ”
“ The restaurant may be small, but it truly delivers when it comes to flavor especially the South Indian specialty dishes, which are a real highlight. While the service can take a little time, it seems to be due to limited staff. The ambience is simple and straightforward, but the focus is clearly on the quality of the food. Considering the taste and authenticity, the price-to-quality ratio is definitely impressive. The go-to place for students. A great place for anyone who enjoys delicious South Indian cuisine! ”
“ Top tip: ask for the menu for Indians! By chance we happened to ask the owner about the dishes and he told us they have other dishes not on the normal menu that they offer to Indian customers because they are more spicy and authentically spiced/flavoured. We asked him to surprise us with 2 dishes and he brought us a beef curry with paratha and chilli paneer with rice. We also ordered the special onion uthapam and the samosas. Every dish was incredible and totally authentic. The prices were also really fair and drinks can be bought from the attached späti. Our meal and 3 beers came to 42€! Amazing. We will be back! ”
“ Unassuming small restaurant with BIG flavors, serving authentic south Indian food. We ordered beef fry with kottu parotta, uttapam, sweet lassi and mint lime drink. Every single item was a 10/10. Service was fast and very friendly. The restaurant had both outdoor and indoor seating as well as a späti-type set up inside. Prices were not only reasonable but actually extremely cheap for the portion sizes you received. We even packed some and ate it the next morning-was just as delicious :) ”
“ Authentic Indian food that hits the spot Kerala Amma Mess serves delicious and authentic Indian food. We ordered the chicken biryani and chicken curry, and both were full of rich, traditional flavours. This is a small shop that stays true to real Indian cooking without altering it to suit local tastebuds.Service was also great. The waitress was the only one working that day as the other staff were unwell, but she still served everyone with a genuine smile and warm attitude. Would definitely come back for more. A hidden gem for real Indian food lovers. ”
