Indicious - Indian fine dining Restaurant 🇮🇳 — Restaurant in Alphen aan den Rijn

We had the pleasure of being greeted warmly and were quite impressed by the atmosphere — truly lovely! Unfortunately, that’s where the charm ended.

We were served a soup that was a touch too salty — perfect if you’re training for a salt-tolerance contest. Initially, our bill arrived with this overly seasoned soup included, but after pointing it out, we requested it be removed — and thank goodness, it disappeared from our final tally. However, that wasn’t the only disappearing act of the day: the water we ordered seemed to be on its own mysterious journey.

The Madras chicken curry was an adventure in spice — definitely not for the faint-hearted (or anyone with taste buds, really). On a brighter note, the lamb curry and naan were quite enjoyable — a rare win in an otherwise confusing experience.

Now, maybe it was just our lucky day and the service was having a moment — who knows? But we genuinely hope other guests get to enjoy both the lovely setting and a functioning level of hospitality.

So yes, go for the ambiance… and if you enjoy salty soup and fiery curry, you’re in...

Was a walk-in, they arranged a table nevertheless. Much appreciated. Ordered Malai Paneer, Paneer Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan and Vegetable Biryani. The Paneer was really tough and hard. The Paneer was just coated with Malai sauce, dint feel like it was marinated at all. The Paneer Tikka Masala, paneer again was so hard. They took an hour between starter and main course, only to be served a Paneer Tikka Masala that was pre-prepared Paneer was just added before serving. The dish got cold even before we could add a spoon to our plate. The Biryani was just rice in a gunpowder with some vegetables, fried in lots of Garlic. Garlic Naan was the only one that felt freshly prepared, but had no salt or enough garlic. Sugar was part of every dish, which is unnecessary. Perhaps appealing to non-Indian taste buds, but definitely not even close to being satisfactory for native taste buds.

Wasn’t an experience of fine dining, the table for 2 hardly had any space for two plates, two glasses and two dishes.

Overall extremely disappointing food for the...

Indicious - As the name suggests they are Deliciously Indian. If you would like to taste some authentic Indian food in the Netherlands this restaurant should be on the top of your list.

Our Experience - The ambience was fantastic. The owners have taken their utmost effort to give their customers a very calm and pleasant vibe. The colours, lighting and the seating arrangements are extremely well done. Also the restaurant is located at a winkelcentrum ensuring easy access and enough free parking spots.

The food was very authentic and delicious. For the starters we ordered all the chat items which were in their menu. Please do mention the about your spice levels when your ordering. (There is a spicier version of the Pani-Puri ;)) When it comes to the main course we had paneer sabzi's and fresh butter nans served from the tandoor. Their cocktail and mocktail menu deserves a special mention. They also have special and unique desert options (so please do reserve some space...
