Uttapam in Middlesbrough

Love this place! We have been plenty of times and cannot say that we've had anything but delicious food!

Pav Bhaji was too salted and was not as per expectations.

I have tried loads of indian restaurants in Middlesbrough. All of them are not too good but Uttapam is sooo good. I get the masala dosa ordered a few times a month because its sooo authentic. The karak chai is so good. Some food is a hit or a miss but thats with any restaurant. The gobi manchurian is the best I’ve tasted in my life so that says alot when I have been eating it back home. Whoever the chefs are, they are the best indian food makers in middlesbrough. I have not sat down yet in the restaurant but it reminds me of a restaurant called sarvana bhavan which is my favorite.

Uttapam is our new little favourite place for a gorgeous little curry experience! With really good traditional Indian food and lovely customer service! Me and my girls love a little night here for a catch up and some great food! 5 stars and will be coming back again and again!

Kindly I request not to buy alcohol while having food as they charge 4 times the price of actual price.. Food also is just made for the sake of making.. Waste of time

Lovely food, price also is fine. Sambhar can be improved in taste because the taste of it varies

Best masala dosa I have ever had and the sambhar is sooooo delicious 😋😋. Have tried their non veg and veg thali as well yummy . Definitely recommend this place .

Delicious dosa, fabulous fish curry, very friendly & polite - beautiful artwork on the walls & nice furniture - would definitely recommend 🙂

Excellent food , arrived nice and hot , so fresh . Really enjoyed its taste

Visited today with my family. Amazing food which is reasonably priced. Nothing is too much trouble. We will definitely return.

Lovely authentic South Indian food. Please go back to the shorter menu.

WORST GHEE ROAST DOSA I EVER HAD . I USUALLY ORDER FROM HERE. BUT THIS IS WORST. PLS REFUND.

never arrived despite it sating that it has been delivered.. rubbish

The best indian restaurant in middlesbrough i have visities for authentic india breakfast, the items were delicious it just made me emotional i love the food they served.

Every dish we had tasted the same , overly spiced and salted , unfortunately all of it was thrown away .

Lovely food, tasty, clean, delicious , I will keep coming 🩷

Worst food. Not a good experience

Orderd kerala chicken biriyani. Worst ever food. I will teach them how to make biriyani. Not recommended. Waste of money.

Great food, good delivery time. Almost as good as home cooked Definitely considering eating in the restaurant next time.

Amazing food really enjoyed everything, all arrived hot and tasty

Great, delicious, and clean original Indian food. Sure, I will come again for this restaurant.

I took my parents and girlfriend here. The service was great. Uttapam in undoubtedly the best Indian food in TEESSSIDE

Average Indian food, thought I will have some good south Indian dishes, ordered thalis which was below average, rotis good, most dishes tasted below average, sooji sweet was definitely dated and hard, onion bajis was good, toilet wash basin was blocked, informed the waiter about it, it's not worth a try

Amazing food every time! Get your moneys worth as you get big portions and is always on time and hot.

Remind me of home. Matar paneer and parotta. Thank you for your hard work.

Authentic South Indian flavours Would surely recommend

Fantastic food, but the service was horrendous. Reflected quite well in other reviews, I should have read them before arriving. The manager / waiter gentleman has an attitude befitting a Greek God. He genuinely goes out of his way to sneak in a snide remark about anything, and noticeably does so only against individuals of specific races. He refuses to serve tap water to us, suggested we go read the news as to why he won’t and gave us 1 glass to share amongst 3. He is also overheard on the phone many times asking people to “shut up” or actively states “don’t come to our restaurant” or otherwise insults them and hangs up. I wish he had spoken to me when I had phoned ahead so that I could have not come as well. Not to mention, he took a personal phone call for well over 30 minutes as we wished to leave, and shushed me when I asked for the bill as he continued to gossip. And the last and most amusing aspect I look forward to are his responses of discontent as I have seen with all other reviews so far, I look forward to hearing about my hidden agendas and lack of knowledge of Indian cuisine. Needless to say, we will not be returning here again.

Food is pretty good and most of the prices are pretty standard but you get the odd item which is too much for what you pay for, like the mango lassi is a bit expensive for a such a small glass but overall it’s a nice place to order and get some good hearty food, the Biryani has good portions and the mutton and lamb Biryani’s are really flavourful and tender. The only criticism I can give is the inside atmosphere in the restaurant is really dull and boring there are some nice pictures hung up on the wall but that’s it. The seating is also just below par and nothing really shouts authentic South Indian restaurant. And I can say many others would agree with what I said as we were only sat down and at least 20 orders were placed within the half an hour of us being there, moreover there was only one other small family. All in all it’s a good place to dine and dash.

Not authentic south Indian ..dosa soaked in oil . Watery Sambar . Giving rating 2 because of the good quantity of biryani. Biryani is not authentic..it's gravy basmati rice. Kindly take this as a scope to improve

Love this Restaurant! Amazing food and friendly welcoming service.

I use to come visit this place when I crave for dosa, in the beginning I used to love this place and the service as well. But today ask for tap water and the guy who was sat like boss on the corner table said no tap water for customers. This against the law refusing tap water in a restaurant it’s not acceptable. Totally understand your business trick but this not going to work for the business. Pathetic service food is ok ok..

Order took very long time to get delivered

Fantastic, authentic South indian food. The thali was superb. Freshly made, perfectly cooked, delicious food. Great, friendly service too!

It was our first time here and totally disappointed with the food, Food was absolutely crap and test less doesn’t even look like fresh cooked i can clearly tell that was microwaved. There was no High chair available for our little one and food is also overpriced no parking space available and no wheelchair or pram access Not recommended at all please avoid.

Excellent south india food in middlesborough town Enjoyed starters , fish fry , rasam and rice with daal

Nice food . We had non vegetarian thali. But in non vegetarian thali only gave chicken. Could add a mutton curry also. Overall food was good.

Delicious food and a very friendly atmosphere. We love this place

Can't recommend this place enough. Wish I could eat it for every meal.

We love our visits to Uttapam! The food is always delicious. Masala dosas are an absolute favourite. Great place and lovely friendly owner. Would definitely recommend

Authentic Indian food and best service

I went for lunch yesterday by myself without any hopes of having a proper south indian meal having tried various takeaways here. But to my surprise i had a very well cooked delicious kerela chicken briyani. Moreover i had a very good chat with the owner who made me feel at home. I really enjoyed talking to her. I never left a grain in my plate. They prioritise cleanliness and authenticity which i really admired. If your looking for proper home cooked food with less spice then this is your right place. I want to share my heartfelt thanks to mam and sir for the amazing service. Will be visiting often.

Very nice food and pleasant atmosphere. Not very busy so lucky us.

Awesome food! Authentic - just like my Mum’s cooking! They are very accommodating on the food/drinks on how I would like them & they all tastes true to the tee. We had the mixed uttapam, Lamb briyani , poori, chicken 65, tandoori chicken with tamarind rice, salted lassi, mango lassi & masala tea. We will definitely return to try the other dishes on the menu - can’t wait!

It’s like no consistency of the taste of food . We used to order chicken 65 rice it’s different taste now .. and if you go to restaurant and make same order it’s not the same taste as we do order online

Without doubt the best south indian cuisine I have ever eaten. The flavours are other wordly. so rich and complex. And all ran by the nicest people ever. Highly recommended!

Not as spicy as I would like, but it is a different take on some of the dishes. The medu vada were really plain, though, I thought they would be more rich with veg or spices. Avoid.

£8.40 for a bottle of beer! Yes £8.40. No wine list. £8.40 for a beer. Not a place for a good Boro curry. Keep walking go to Masala’s

Excellent service. Authentic South Indian food. Cosy place with lots of variety in the menu.

Excellent food. Their tea is so refreshing. Great atmosphere, lovely staff. The staff explained the dishes very well. Try the tandoori chicken.

Nice authentic South Indian taste in town We had pani puri , fish fry, Dosas and Thali all are back home taste

Best place to explore proper South Indian food with beautiful atmosphere and so supportive staff . Their Masala Chai is just amazing so much relaxing and refreshing. Highly recommended place for proper South Indian cuisine.

great food with a variety of dishes. fantastic value with plenty for tomorrow!

Originally scheduled for delivery 15:45-16:05 it arrived at 17:07. Food was cold when it arrived.

Enjoyed a great meal in the restaurant last week with a party of 15 from work. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The food was delicious. I would certainly recommend that you try the restaurant.

This was a lovely meal, staff were helpful (I think she was the owner) talked us through the menu and how spicy things were and let us try the dosa, couldn’t fault it, my only moan is it was cold we were sat near the door, but everything else was flawless. Thank you for a lovely night

Went here with the lads from work. Great little place. Super friendly staff and food is amazing!

It’s tasty but the veg pulao is just small frozen veg and my worsts nightmare lots of sweet corn. Now that’s really disappointing

Absolutely Stunning!!! Best curry I have ever had!!!!! No Joke!!!

Really really good food and very good value! Worth a visit if you're in Middlesbrough. Half of our group were veggie and they catered brilliantly for all tastes. It really is a good spot!

I don’t want to give even single star very rude attitude the person who stands as cashier as if like don he treats customers like beggars this not happens with I saw when he was rude to one boy who was just asking about a meal to eat he just said if you want to eat or go out this is not the way to behave, I have ordered one sweet and starter I don’t get for 20min still I was waiting as my 6months old baby started crying I asked the staff to get soon by seeing this that cashier called the staff and said give there money back and send them.we asked to get soon if possible by the reply I got we just left from the place there are so many Indian restaurants people who give lot of respect and very polite to every customer go to such restaurants worth.i have visited thereafter but I suppose to give this feedback long back so you don’t remember me anyway.

What a superb meal. The Masala Dosa was sublime and the vegan Thali looked as good as it tasted. Others ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala which was excellent and very succulent. Altogether, full marks and will certainly recommend.

I mistakenly ordered thinking it was delivery. The staff organised to drop it off for me as a one off which was so so kind. I can honestly say this is the best indian food I have eaten in forever. Easily top of the middlesbrough restaurants and we do have GOOD indian here. Got the Aloo Gosht and some other pieces....Just blown away. Bravo to this restaurant

Just eat delivered it after 3hr of the order i need a compensation

Delicious food and a friendly atmosphere.

Yesterday, we ventured into the restaurant and ordered a variety of dishes, including Lamb Biryani, Uttapam, Curd Rice, and Curd Vada. Unfortunately, the proprietor's attitude was shockingly unfriendly, leaving us with a sense of dissatisfaction. One has to continually request assistance, as post-order placement, there's an utter lack of attention to our needs—even with only one other table occupied. Notably, basic necessities like water and drinks required persistent requests. In summary, an overwhelmingly negative encounter tainted by both poor service and subpar food quality.

Loved the food, ambience and service. We had idli vada uttapa and chicken 65 biryani was to die for xxx

We ordered a variety of dishes for Christmas Day dinner to give us a break from cooking this year. Absolutely delicious in every way. The tandoori chicken was incredible! All dishes delicately flavoured- also highly recommend the dosas, coconut rice and paneer curry! Did not regret decision to order from Uttapam. Have also eaten in their Restaurant and never fails to impress.

£6 for tiny wrap that was nothing special, extortionate price. Won’t be going back.

Very tasty food, generous portions and fantastic value for money. First time I’ve been here, won’t be the last.

Absolutely love the food here. So authentic. The curries were spot on.

I found curry potions much reduced on my visit today and the amount of meat in the curries on the Thali could have been more.The flavours however of these were on point. We ordered the Chicken Achari. This was found lacking in flavour and authenticity and not one I will be ordering again. The spicy fish curry was superb as was the dosai and the tikka fried eggplant. Few tweaks here and there and this little restaurant could be a gem in the making.

I got stones in my curry. Very poor quality

Bring some mineral water because they are not served with water. It helps the babys

Wonderful dining experience. Staff were attentive and super friendly offering advice were needed. Food was great - we had a mix of meat and vegetarian and all were excellent. We will be returning, Thank you 🙏

Delicious food, served by absolutely lovely people. We will definitely be back 😊.

Amazing food and super sweet staff. You’ll feel at home and well looked after!!

The food here is fresh and delicious the service is fantastic by far the best Asian food in Middlesbrough every time I visit it is the only destination I go for authentic South Indian cuisine DELICIOUS FOOD

Vada was perfect !! Crispy on the outside and nice and fluffy on the inside. Would go again 😋

The food was amazing and the staff were really lovely, definitely plan on returning :)

Unassuming, casual eatery but the food speaks for itself. Incredibly fresh and very flavoursome. Get the thali so you can try as much as possible and don’t miss out on the dosas. I look forward to visiting again.

Best Fish curry you could get probably outside of India. Also ask for their signature fish fry kerala style.

We had a non vegetarian thali and a chicken biriyani yesterday.The food was below average.there were 3 types of chicken curries that came with the thali and all of them tasted bad. They got a lot to improve.

This was my second time ordering from Uttapam, and the food has been delicious both times (though the Gobi Manchurian was divine!). My only issue is that each time the food has only been warm, and we've had to microwave it. Would still order again.

The food was really good , everything we ordered was delicious, the owner was very friendly as well, will definitely be my go to indian restaurant!

Beautiful food and well worth the money, thank you.

Terrible decision to take away Kohlapuri Chicken. Never going back.

We went in at the wee hours of the night to grab a hot chai and filter coffee. Its a minimum of £10 for card payment so had to order something light. We had the medhu vada, masala tea and coffee ordered. It was around 7pm and there was no customers in so had the whole place for ourselves. The vada was super hot and we knew it was freshly made. The chutney and sambhar was average, but we did love it. Masala tea was also top of the mark. But the coffee was too bland for my friend. It came around £12 in total.

I would appreciate any Small business here in boro,but happened to order two masala dosa's via uber eats,the batter was never fermented at the first place,the filling had no spices not even salt !Dosa looked nice but tasted so awful ! Absolute waste of 15 quid ! Sambar was Alright,coconut chutney was the only good thing ! Not ordering again !

Small but nice homely south indian restaurant - lots of options for vegetarians

Poor service, poor restaurant ordered veg pulao, panner and butter nan. But veg pulao no spicy and no salty. Panner quantity is very less and staff don’t know anything about the services. I requested a glass of water and staff gave me 1/4 quantity of water in the glass. And card machine doesn’t work owner asked me to go cash machine and pay.

Probably the best food I've eaten, the shop has a nice peaceful atmosphere and the workers are lovely. If I could eat anywhere it would be here 100%.

Very disappointed in this place after seeing the reviews it all looked good , options were limited and not what you’d expect from a Indian restaurant but thought I’d go with it any ways , got a chicken and egg rice and a tikka masala but when it arrived there was more vegetables in the rice than there was rice and only 3/4 pieces of chicken same goes with the sauce , I didn’t order the vegetable curry but it seemed like that’s what I got , didn’t eat any apart from the few pieces of chicken , sa

I am really disappointed with food we order paneer Manchurian kheer and dosha everything it's so far away from real test and paneer chill look like paneer masala with cold paneer may be they don't ever eat paneer chill owner also have so much attitude he doesn't understand customers he try to show how good food take longer to cook but food is not good even not enough quantity they give us sambhar also like chatni if anyone wants to spend money for good food go somewhere else I never bother to going this place again pa

First time trying this place and couldn’t be happier, great food great portion sizes

Had one of the best food experiences today at Uttapam. Enjoyed my favorite Masala Dosa today and the flavors were amazing. I was so excited and forgot to take a photo. Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in real Indian flavors. The lady who served us was so nice and she took care of my daughter letting us enjoy our food. Everything was spot on. Absolutely loved it.

Delicious food, after long time was able to taste authentic fresh Indian food. Yummy

Lovely and cozy atmosphere. The host is extremely friendly and catered to our needs and was especially tolerant with our kids. The place was clean. Food was lovely and beyond our expectations. Highlights for us were the chicken 65 biryani and the gajar halwa. Highly recommend.

Delicious food and great service

Amazing thali and great service. Thank you!
