May be a bit off track and hard to find at first, but it's a lovely place with polite staff…read more The vegetarian options are amazing and the food they offer is fresh and authentic. Would definetly reccomend if you're in Dortmund and hungry.

I lived in Dortmund for a year and knew before I left that I'd have to write this place an English…read morereview before I left. The place is VERY good. I come from an area with a lot of Indian immigrants myself so it was difficult coming to a place like Dortmund where it's hard to get diverse kinds of foods, but Sweet Chili definitely has a lot to offer. Great chicken Vindaloo, and they have no problem giving you a Sri-Lankan level of spice, though they can dial it down if you want. Great roti (no naan, this place is Sri Lankan), and awesome mango lassis. Dishes like the Chili Chicken Hot have always gotten the thumbs-up from friends, and if you want something you can't really get elsewhere, try out the Piddu or the Idiyappam. Well, they kinda seem like their only diffference is their shape but they're still good. Also, that Nana's biryani special is pretty great if you're feeling like a cool enough dude to stand the difference in price.

Sie ist super lieb und lässt uns gerne neue Rezeptideen von sich testen. Ihre Preise sind so niedrig, dass sie kaum von ihrem Restaurant in der Innenstadt leben kann. Sie ist ein herzensguter Mensch und liebt ihren Laden und ihre Kunden. Das merkt man. Ich wünsche ihr noch lange Gesundheit und Freude am Job.

I was wondering between 3 and 4 stars. The place is very…read moresmall, you can hear the couple who run the restaurant from the kitchen. You can hear the dishes moving around. The place has a homely kitchen feel to it - but a bit shabby. The man who served us could have been more friendlier to us. That would have complimented the warm feeling of the place. That's the main reason I give 3 stars. The food was decent. The sambar is typically srilankan Tamil style. The coconut chutney was fresh but a bit dry - a little bit more water or use of fresh coconut is recommended as I suspect dried coconut were used.

Best Indian food in Dortmund to be sure, so if you're dead-set on having strictly Indian food, by…read moreall means go ahead. However, Indian food can be a bit expensive in Germany, and if you're down for something much cheaper and just as good, there are Sri Lankan places in the west of the city around Unionstrasse U-Bahn Station. That being said, awesome curry dishes (Madras became a new favorite of mine), great naan, and generally great service.

I am an Indian and my advice is DON'T GO THERE!! We ordered masala dosa, chicken dishes no. 30 and…read more31. I have to say the food lacks taste. It's completely out of taste and the curry of chicken was stale and tasted horribly wrong. Masala dosa had simple potatoes without anything, I mean anything! No chili, no curry leaves, no mustard seeds..nothing! Honestly, I wanted my money back. I have been to many Indian restaurants and this by far has disappointed me most.

I am from Chennai, the home of Dosa. So, unsurprisingly, I am usually left missing one of my…read morehome-comforts - Dosa. I used to go all the way to Saravanan bhavan in frankfurt to find peace. But I am happy i discovered this palce close to Köln. While it does not come close to Saravanan bhavan standards, it does the job. Mainly because it is real south-indian food, and not the Sri-Lankan tamil food - which is slightly different. Taste of india is my address for my Dosa-cravings. They have good idlys and vadai too. Not the most pocket friendly i must say - so i save it up to the occasion. The waiter was a very friendly man, who knew exactly what we were looking for - he could see the unsatisfied dosa craving in my eyes i believe. That tells you how many other south indians he has served - all with the same dosa cravings in their eyes. The waiter knew exactly what we were looking for...
