We have been coming here since 2023 but the 2 last visits we have noticed a significant decline in the quality of service. Yesterday was our last visit, we felt unattended and very disappointed. We had ordered a bottle of white wine that came un-chilled. The owner/waiter/cook placed it in a wine cooler with ice but the first glass was warm. At tje same time we ordered water, This came after 30 minutes after we asked for a second time for the water with the owner/waiter/cook. After 50 minutes waiting the same man came to our table and asked what we ordered because he had lost the ticket in the kitchen. He then came back saying he had found the ticket. 2 of the 3 starters then came, they were tasty but salty. We asked about the 3rd one and were told it was coming. When it did it was the wrong one. I took it back and explained, there was no excuse and i was made to feel that it was my fault. When the onion bhaji came, it was not accompanied by the dip mentioned on the menu. Soon after came our main courses. Again we missed a accompaniment, again i asked it to be corrected. When it came i was sarcastically asked if we now had everything. Not nice and very rude. The dishes are labeled on the menu with pepers, then more the spicier. My dish with 1 peper was less spicy than my partners dish that had no peper by it. The main dishes were tasty but the damage had been done, the service was not good. When i went to pay i also discovered that the bill was incorrect, at mentioning this, again i was looked at as if i was the one that was wrong. At no point with all the small mistakes did we receive an appology, and that is the biggest mistake. The owner was rushing arround playing at waiter, cook and manager but unfortunately just ended making a big...
Read moreA Culinary Journey to Remember at Kessariya
From the moment I stepped into Kessariya, the warm hues and the soft melody in the restaurant set the stage for an authentic dining experience.The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and eager to offer recommendations.
The food was a delightful exploration of flavors. Each dish was a testament to the rich culinary heritage of India, with spices that were perfectly balanced to enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients. The Malai Kofta was a creamy delight, with tender Kofta pieces that melted in the mouth. The Paneer Tikka had a smoky char and was marinated to perfection, while the Biryani was fragrant with spices and had a generous succulent flavor , cooked with amazing perfection.
The ambiance of Kessariya added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. The decor was tastefully done, with traditional Indian elements that were modernized to create a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. The lighting was just right – not too bright, not too dim – creating a warm and inviting space.
In conclusion, Kessariya is not just a restaurant; it's a destination for those who appreciate the art of Indian cuisine. The combination of amazing food, excellent service, and a beautiful ambiance makes it a must-visit for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in Almere. Bon...
