Cuisine of India | Authentic Indian Restaurant in Amsterdam — Restaurant in Amsterdam

There were a mixture of customers, some families and a couple with their new born. The music was a good level and we didn’t need to wait for a table. My two friends said their food (Chicken madras, lamb Kashmiri) was ok but ‘not the best they’ve had but my Lamb Biryani was quite clearly the worst I have ever eaten and you’ll need to trust me when I say I have eaten an lot of biriani, I could live on it. Soggy, under seasoned and with little lamb, no veg curry or raita was served with it so €22 for a main dish the size of a side or starter was a bit steep but to then not serve something with it and then charge for the raita when asked took the biscuit. We have been here before and returned on the strength of that last visit. Maybe it was just an off night, the food took its time arriving so perhaps they were short handed and things weren’t going to plan. That doesn’t explain or excuse the poor service or the need to try and corral customers into paying cash with the threat of ‘transaction’ charges. What year are we in?? I haven’t had a transaction charge applied to payment in 20 years. Overpriced, poor quality, not sure the first visit would allow me to overlook the second so probably...

Picked up the chicken madras and it was tasty, after getting the place advised by guests of mine who where gluten free Americans.

Wish they made things a bit more transparant though, the window/restaurant menu portions are a different size(so they told me), so different prize than the take away. Online order to pick up is 10% cheaper than just walking in for pick up what is plain weird tbh (I live 100 meters from the place).

But I guess the family style restaurant is doing their best in a difficult location and the food is worth it, good indian should be cherished.

Tip for the owners, get more involved with the neighborhood, restaurants in that street need a mix of locals, visitors and tourists to run well.

all the best

ps. Anne who got 50% discount on the food and wanted free water to match, how Dutch can you be? These people need to pay the...

We have been travelling different countries and different Indian restaurants and then reached to Amsterdam. We were looking for authentic Indian taste in Europe. Finally we reached to this place and believe me, its the most authentic taste we have got so far. There might be others too but we were quite happy and satisfied with the food quality, service and ambience. We have mentioned this multiple times to owner too. Good part is even after appreciating so many times and informing them that your food taste is so good but still not in the top of the google recommendations but still they didn't ask to write review like we have been asked by many hotels.😊

We tried the vegetarian Menu for 2 which includes Samosa, Saag paneer, mix veg and the most authentic home made mango kulfi (all time favorite).

Thank you and All the very best for...
