Oottupura Restaurant in Epsom and Ewell

This place is a hidden gem! I can't believe I've only just discovered this restaurant. The food was sublime, really tasty and fresh, but not overwhelming at all. It even had some ingredients you don't normally find in the UK. We had a Dosa, Malabar Prawn Curry and Paneer Tikka. All perfectly cooked and prepared. The service was also wonderful and very well priced. I would highly recommend!

First time here so like to see if it’s always so good. I tried Fish Malabar Roast, a dry fragrant spicy dish. The fish was so fresh and delicious and the chapatis very delicate. Good portion size. Can’t wait to try some of the vegetable options on the menu. The tea was amazing too. The waiter was perfectly friendly and attentive.

We have been looking for an authentic Kerala / South Indian Restaurant since one of our favourites closed down 10 years ago. We finally found a worthy replacement in Oottupura! The dosa was amazingly crisp and the sambhar and chutneys had unique flavour. The roast was out of this world and the biryani was light with a great aroma. There are not many authentic Indian restaurants in London but this is a gem. We will be back soon!

Good food and friendly service. We particularly liked the Masala Dosa. Will definitely be back!

Food was tasty and they were very accommodating, however the Mango Lassi tasted very sour and was not a pleasant drink. In addition service was a bit slow, but not too slow which was understandable as a large party came halfway through our dinner. But it took a long time for bill to come.

Another splendid weekend of serving people with the most delicious, authentic food in Surrey. Lovingly made from scratch by the owners and the cooks at Ottupura. We have been visiting this little gem since 2018, and they have maintained their high standards ever since. Highly recommend, whether it be their sadhya which is only twice a year or their regular menu.. our fav is the fish curry and fish fry

Best Kingfish curry and king fish fry . Their Kerala parottas are very crispy and flaky ,better then any restaurants I have tried in central London. This is a go to place for fish as its very tasty and fresh .

Excellent meal from start to finish. We were a group and had onam sadhya -every dish was delicious. The staff and owner were friendly and so we had a great time

Excellent service and absolutely fantastic food! This is the only Indian we've found locally that serves dosa's and they are amazing. several dishes i hadn't tried before and they were all superb. So glad to have found a new favourite Indian.

Great South Indian food. Fantastic services and a relaxed atmosphere.

Food was so delicious and appetising and the service was really great too.. I recommend Oottupura for everyone.

My first visit and experience here, having a dinner date with my love. Beautiful place with beautiful food and great service along with a lovely chilled atmosphere. Shall definitely be back for more 😊

What a find! Beautifully tasty, homemade food at reasonable prices. I shall return as soon as I can to sample some more and different delicious food.

Party of 4.We were the only ones in there.Waitres was vert peasant and helpful but very slow to get food Good job it wasn't busy.Had chicken biriani not a lot of it but plenty of rice.

I finally found a place that makes properly good parotta! Crispy, flaky, soft perfection that, when paired with Chettinad Chicken, melts in the mouth! I’ve been chasing my parotta craving for almost a year now – and even a string of restaurants in India had failed to scratch that itch. I’m very glad that I’ve found this place! Apart from the Kerala Parotta and Chicken Chettinad, we had Malabar Biriyani, Beef cutlet, Mango lassi, lemon juice, and Pazhampori Beef. They were all pretty good, but the parotta was the absolute standout for me and what would keep me coming back for more.

We went to this restaurant a few days ago. They serve traditional Kerala style food—100% authentic, unlike other restaurants where authenticity is not justified. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed the warm welcome and service provided. The staff were very polite and friendly; overall we had a very good time and food. Highly recommended.

I waited for 45 minutes just to order, and finally had to move out in disgrace. Can not expect such poor management. Service is too slow even when only two other tables were occupied.

Thankyou to Sunny and Team. Family get togethers and gatherings have become so much more enjoyable with food from Ootupura. The taste and quality is always consistent and very authentic. Best south Indian restaurant in South London.

We had an amazing and a delicious dinner which made us quite nostalgic about our homeland! Must try Chicken chettinad, Beef ularthiyathu with some parrotta and not to forget our very own Ada pradaman. The ambience was great and we met a lovely UK elderly couple who loves their food. But be cautious, it will take loads of time for your food to arrive however, be sure it will be piping hot. Apart from that, we also felt some dishes were a bit overpriced. So altogether, a good place to have your tummy full and get nostalgic!

Had an amazing lunch, the food tasted fresh and yummy. Also could see the effort put into the cooking as it tasted really good.

Had a sumptuous kerala style meal . Malabar dishes and even mango lassi was also awesome

Had a very pleasant experience and great food.

Awesome and Authentic kerala food! Very tasty.. We ordered Chicken kondattam, Buffalo pepper fry, Beef Ularthiathu, kappa n meen curry with Parotta. All dishes were star👍Excellent host and service 👍

Great authentic Sri Lankan food, served with a smile. The Chicken 65, a 65-year old recipe is a winner. The vadai and the dosai are must haves! The masala chai gave me the boost I needed that day. It made the Birthday lunch for my dear gal pal special, thank you!

Delicious South Indian food, attentive service and a really lovely ambience. The food is authentic and flavourful. The vadai was light and crispy and dosai was wonderful!

Shame about the food usually love dosa's but unfortunately had a takeaway, not spicy, not tasty very plain......

Went to ootupura for the first time last weekend. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We were told to expect delays as they only prepare dishes on order. This was really helpful as we knew we will have to wait a bit to get the food. Coming to the food, we had biriyani and it was average. I’ve had better ones for the same price range elsewhere. The portion size of adapradhaman was really small and was very disappointed. Even though the quantity was small it was very delicious. Overall a decent restaurant with friendly staff.

Excellent food and service with some different dishes, all seemed fresh cooked, try thr Chilli Chicken

Absolutely delicious. The most authentic South Indian restaurant at great prices and fab service

Visited just over a week ago with a large group. Attentive and polite staff and service. Tasty South Indian food and nice ambience. I highly recommend Oottupura for fans of decent South Indian food. Ordered Chicken 65 and Cauliflower 65 for starters, bith excellent. The dosas and masala dosas were crisp and delicious. The sambar, idli and vada were also fantastic. Mango lassi was thick and creamy.

One of the best places to have Kerala food if you are living near Kingston.

It was wonderful experience,food was delicious 🤤.

Outstanding service and food was spot on!

Another great food experience. Very authentic and flavoursome dishes. Friendly and attentive service. Will be coming again. Don’t expect posh furniture and toilets though. 😊😋

Amazingly authentic South Indian food!

The food is exceptional. You can’t judge it by seeing its interior design!

The real south Indian authentic food and very good service. Highly recommended.

The food quality and quantity were so good , and the food taste was authentic and delicious.The waitress(vidya)who served us were really sweet, she was polite and friendly, and we had a great chat about the food, altogether we had a really great experience

The best Panneer Dosa I've had outside of india. Clean, fresh and absolutely delicious.

What a lovely evening we had,the food was delicious, we are going to return to try some of the other dishes, thank you oottupura,!

Had lunch today excellent. Food great and price very reasonable.

Great south India cuisine. We tasted Chicken lollipop Dahi Vada Beef Ullarthiyathu Salmon Kodampully curry All of them were excellent. The order did take time to come but for a good reason of fresh and tastiness. Will be returning for sure again when I visit Epsom.

Our family really enjoyed the authentic South Indian dishes. Best parotta ever!

Great little restaurant with friendly staff. Really flavoursome food and good price.

Fabulous little authentic restaurant, with delicious food and great service. Highly recommend. P. S. The duck mappas was delicious as was crab masala and spinach and dal.

Great ambience, Authentic Kerala food prepared and served live. Spicy and tasty Chicken 65 as a starter had the right flavour and texture Fish curry with Mango was delicious Kappa and beef roast was superb

One of the best South Indian restaurants in UK. The food they provide is simply amazing. Must try. Highly recommended

10/10. New go-to spot for our south indian/kerala food fix. Beef Ularthiyath is spot on. Best Porotta I’ve had in London by far. Appam + aleppey fish curry is a decent combo as well.

Delicious authentic Kerala food. Also a very decent ambience for a dine in. Found car parking just in front of the restaurant. Will definitely come back!

Authentic Kerala cusine. Parotta was spectacular, so flakey and so many layers…it was a dream…, so was the rest of the dishes. We had Kappa and beef and it was so on point. Meen pollichathu is superb!! Chicken Korma was the best accompaniment for the Parotta. I’ll be honest, Thalassery Biriyani wasn’t great. I was expecting the tiny rice grains (Kaima rice) as you would in this type of biriyani but I was disappointed to see Basmati. Regardless, I’m not reducing a star because the staff were friendly and service was excellent! The restaurant is clean and hygienic too, and a lot of Kerala restaurants I’ve been to in London aren’t. So I’m pleasantly surprised to have found this place !

best south Indian restaurant in London

One of the very few restaurants serving authentic Kerala food in London. Was really impressed by the taste and presentation. The lady serving was really pleasant as well. Will definitely be returning.

The chechi who served the food was really lovely and the only concern i have was with the portion size.. Still i would say awesome.

We were visited few days back ,was really good experience with excellent dining with delicious Indian food I recommend every one who is searching for a south Indian restaurant this is a good choice . One more word their fish curry is awesome Thank you

An exceptional dining experience at the South Indian restaurant! The waitress was excellent, offering very good service with a warm and friendly attitude. The food was delicious and authentic.

The restaurant serves authentic kerala food .good service and we were happy we found the nice place . I would recommend oottupura restaurant to anyone who fancy an authentic kerala dining experience

Must try spot and one of the best kerala restaurant I’ve found in the area and their food is also amazing as they are freshly cooked

It's very tasty and good quality food I've experienced recently. I'll surely recommend it for anybody.

I recently had a fantastic meal at this restaurant – the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Their menu had a lot of dishes and they are affordable. The service was also excellent and the ambiance was cozy and inviting. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

I received good food and the ambience of the restaurant is awesome

Just had the masala dosa, uthappam and Gobi 65. Very tasty and great service, highly recommend the sambar!

"This South Indian Kerala restaurant is a hidden gem. With its authentic taste, excellent service, reasonable prices, and ample parking on the side roads, it's a must-visit. And don't miss out on their best dish, the porotta beef olthiyath, which is an absolute delight!"

Delicious food then ambiance and service also extremely good

Good foods and atmosphere is entirely good

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant! The customer service was awful, and the portion size for the takeout food was ridiculously small. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.Dear Manager, better you beg in the street to make money 😡i wish i could give 0 star 🙄

Good food but poorly staffed so long wait or no service unless booked.

Delicious food.Loved the starters and the soft Kerala porotta.

The food was delicious. Lots of vegetarian options and a really good atmosphere. I lived the different specialties served and how unique it was. The Gulab Jamun was AMAZING!

An absolute pleasure to be there. Delicious food and the service was top-notch.

Food is so tasty .The only thing i felt is quantity of food is less. Otherwise Im very happy with the food and services

We visited this restaurant on Sunday evening and pleasantly surprised with very authentic south Indian (kerala) food. The specials were delicious and really special (which is rare nowadays!). The lamb and chicken were just perfect and so does kerala parotta. Service was good and we were happy that we found this nice place.!

Loved and enjoyed the food..ambience and service was great..the food was so delicious that we felt the portions could have been slightly bigger.

Delicious is an understatement! Amazing alleppy fish curry with an incredible sauce. Fantastic lamb curry too. Paratha’s were so delicious that we ordered more during the meal. The lady serving was so sweet and kind. We will definitely be coming back 👍

The parotta was great here! Loved the food. Will come again. The lamb curry was also amazing!

Delicious food with great hospitality. Our dining experience at Oottupura restaurant was nothing short of spectacular. The cutlets as starters had perfect balance of flavours. Among the other starters, the buffalo pepper fry is also a must try! Appam and chicken chettinadu was a great combination and a must try. We also ordered Malabar Chicken biriyani which had tender chicken pieces perfectly complementing the aromatic rice. The hospitality of the staffs and the owner is commendable. I would recommend Oottupura restaurant to anyone who fancy an authentic Kerala dining experience.

Delicious authentic superb Kerala food. Absolutely in love with those delicious cutlets. It is a must try. The malabari chicken biryani and buffalo pepper fry is fantastic. Excellent service always. Highly recommended. Would love to go back to Oottupura anytime. Thank you Team Oottupura.

Great South Indian Kerala restaurant. Authentic taste, great service, reasonable price, lots of parking on the side roads.

Amazing food 😋 Must try restaurant!

We normally used to come here for kodampuli itta meencurry but one day me and my husband tried cobra beer with aiykoora fry👌👌👌 MUST TRY THIS COMBO

The best sadya we've had in Surrey! Generous portions and scrumptious sides.

Absolutely amazing food. The biryani was unbelievable and dosas soooo good, better than Saravana Bhavan. The malabar prawn and chettinad lamb were gorgeous also, beautifully spicy.

Fabulous restaurant - delicious South Indian food. Very welcoming & helpful & they were accommodating to a couple of food preference requests. Highly recommend this restaurant

Had a takeaway today, and the food was the best South indian food we have had in this country. The people in the restaurant were very nice and polite too. Highly recommended 👌

I am from Mumbai and I really miss Indian, home cooked, authentic meals. I had recently ordered mango curry and appam. Wow! It was delicious and so glad to taste something unique.

We tried Malabar chicken biriyani.. but that was not upto the standard.. its was just a normal biriyani and even the quantity was very less.. we went there with our non-keralite frnds with so much expectations but we were really disappointed.

This restaurant is a hidden gem! We absolutely loved the food. We were served by a lovely girl named Rhiannon who was really attentive and so friendly, she gave us the best service. I would say it was slightly pricey, so maybe save this restaurant for a special occasion. If you’re looking for a local restaurant with good food, this is the one for you.

A bit of an under-appreciated South-Indian restaurant in stoneleigh, maybe because it doesn't serve the over commercialised north Indian food. Unlike other restaurants, some dishes taste quite homely. We ordered prawn-coconut-fry starter, fish curry and lamb-spinach curry with 2 chapattis, 2 Kerala parotha, ghee-rice and mango lassi which was a bang for the buck at 52. Staff is very down to earth and humble and will ensure your dining experience is great. Im just wondering what to order on my next visit... :)

Had the most amazing meal. The masala dosai was absolutely delicious. Loved all the dishes we had and cant wait to return. Really lovely friendly staff. Thank you.

Delicious food and five star service, especially the lady from Mumbai she did great service for us and Mr Sunny as well...thank you for giving us wonderful evening and tasty dinner

Authentic south indian food I have had since in the UK. Food was really delicious and so was the ambience and the staff. Loved the food and the experience. Looking forward to the next visit.

A hidden gem of South Indian food. Have been several times and it's always tasty, reasonably priced, and has friendly staff. Particularly enjoyed the masala dosa, the fish special and the channa masala last time. Highly recommended!

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend

The food was amazing lots of taste in all the dishes.The owner welcomed us joyfully and was happy to answer any questions. Everthing fresh and tasty. Great Restaurant.

The menu dishes have been tested to be fantastic but I urge you to try out the chef’s special written on the black board especially the masala grilled sea bass- mind blowing

This is one of our favourite Indian restaurants. Particularly good because it's true to south Indian cuisine. The food has been getting even better with the arrival of their new chef. Brilliant for Onam celebrations.

Great food and service. We will definitely be back.

Delicious food. Very friendly staff.

The nicest South Indian food in the area. The food and service were excellent. We will definitely go again.

We ordered 3 course kerala dinner today for 16 people. I have to say that the food was absolutely delicious and authentic. You can feel that they have put their best effort in each dish. They catered to our request to make the dish mild for the children to eat. The charge was only reasonable and every single one of us enjoyed it. Thank you very much for the service.

Refreshing to have a lovely Indian meal from southern India, popped in here on the off chance had a lovely masala Dosa to start with and delicious King fish curry. Good friendly service, superb value for money.
