I like German dishes, but for me it have a bit too much oil. How can I express that?
What comes up to my mind was:
"I like German dishes, but it's a bit oily/fatty."
I'm not sure which word is good for the food. Maybe both wrong?

I would say the food is too greasy. There may be regional or dialect variations, but British speakers would understand that.
It's perfectly fine to use 'oily' with food. eg. 'This type of cuisine consists of oily food'. Fatty sounds a bit off but oily is correct and goes well with what you're trying to say.
