Atithi means guest. And in Indian custom a guest is treated with utmost respect. So Mr Tanmoy Sahib (chef and manager) did indeed make me feel very welcome. Thank you. The immediate impression before even seeing the menu was quite positive and I felt very comfortable. The restaurant itself is very simply decorated and not overbearing or pretentious. I liked its simplicity with tables without any table cloth. It was like an Indian canteen. The clientele on a Tuesday night seemed to be mainly local people and it was roughly half full with 2 waiters and the chef himself giving them due attention. Now about the food. I was treated by Mr Tanmoy to an incredibly authentic Amritsari Chicken with extra spices. Unbelievably delicious. So much so that I finished it all off with extra rice and aloo kulcha. And believe me when I say that the portion was quite generous. I have never had such a delightful meal, even in London. You can tell from talking to Mr Tanmoy that he was quite passionate about his profession, cuisine and dishes and putting the interests of the customers first. Would I come again? That is an emphatic yes. Would I bring a client to this place? That would depend on my relationship with with the client but more than likely I will have no hesitation. Will I be telling my work colleagues in Rotterdam about this venue? Absolutely I will be singing the praises of Atithi and Mr Tanmoy to them and no doubt they will also like to come and test my recommendation. Why do t you check it out and let me know whether you agree.

I know India from a 2-year stay in the country and countless trips over the decades. As a rule, I am usually disappointed by Indian restaurants worldwide, the pakora suffocate in batter, the dishes drown under thick sauces, no wonder that Indians, unlike Chinese, Thais and Vietnamese etc. prefer to cook themselves instead of going out to eat. Indian food is extremely labour-intensive, I know, because I usually prefer to cook it myself. As a rule, they just whip up something that tastes similar at best. That's why Bollywood productions travel abroad with their own kitchen trolleys. For the first time outside India, I found pani puri here and it was delicious. The onion bhaji was also perfect. The main course was South Indian cuisine, because you don't get it very often. And they were absolutely great, there is nothing better in India! Wonderful dosas, the best sambal! For dessert we had rasmalai, a very labour-intensive Bengali dessert I philosophised with the chef for a long time about Indian food and that explained the high quality of the food: he is passionate about cooking and about making it original and authentic, even if it means long preparations and a lot of work.

So we went in thinking it'd be this amazing spot but Google reviews totally fooled us. The moment we walked in, I was like, "Are you KIDDING me?" The server? Total zombie mode. No welcome, no smile, NOTHING. We literally had to look on our own to get seated and we had a RESERVATION! When we asked about a table, he just mumbled "yes" and went back to whatever he was doing. We basically had to find our own spot. And where was it? More like a delivery waiting area. Those cushions looked like they hadn't seen a washing machine since... forever. GROSS. The food? Looks pretty on the plate, I'll give them that. But taste? ZERO. Absolutely zero flavor. The only thing that was halfway decent was the Gulabi Chai and this one server at the end who actually seemed to know how customer service works. BUT WAIT, it gets worse! The absolute WORST blunder was when they brought my stuffed capsicum and the server goes, "Your paneer lababdor is here" and I'm like, WE DIDN'T ORDER THAT! He laughed and said "oh yes, shimla mirch" and I'm thinking, are they seriously serving leftover "paneer lababdor" inside capsicum? NEVER. AGAIN. 👎 Save your money, save your appetite. If you want good Indian food in Rotterdam, look ELSEWHERE! This place is a total waste of time and money.

the menu was not tourist friendly. we were not really sure what exactly we were ordering. that is the reason why i sadly got something that i personally didn't really enjoy. my girlfriend on the other hand was more lucky and got something she enjoyed. i feel the need to mention that the other guests were very loud to the point that i wanted to wear headphones to cover the noise. i didn't because it would've been rude though. i also want to mention that me not really enjoying what i ordered is not directly fault of the restaurant. the food was great, i tried my girlfriend's order which was really nice. in addition i find it important tonsay that the drinks we ordered were nearly perfect. i got a mochito and my girlfriend got a mango lassi. both amazing. the staff was really friendly and they all seem very nice. also the restaurant looks great too, cool design and nice furniture!

“Athiti Indian Restaurant in Rotterdam, Netherlands, truly delighted our taste buds. Having heard of its excellent reputation, we eagerly visited, and it did not disappoint. The flavors of the food were an absolute delight. The service, provided by JOY, made us feel right at home. Although the food was a little pricey, we savored every bite. A heartfelt thank you to Joy for a wonderful dinner experience!” 🍛🌟 For those curious about Athiti, it’s known for serving the best authentic Indian food in Rotterdam and Delft. Their menu features a variety of dishes from different regions of India, including Chola Bhatura from the North, Masala Dosa from the South, and Royal Thalis from the West. They also cater to special dietary needs, offering vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. If you’re ever in Rotterdam, consider paying them a visit! 🇳🇱🥘

This place is amazing. The service is very kind, the food is exquisite and the price is also very good. The food gives you a warm and cozy feeling, real comfort food if you will but served with style. The flavors compliment each other in just the right way and the spices explode in your mouth. And not to mention all the work they put in their menu.. that’s amazing! If you have a food allergy or intolerance, no worries, everything is on the menu, even how many calories and proteins are in the food, a real example for other restaurants. Last but not least, I sincerely recommend the mango lassie (a sort of mango “milkshake” with yoghurt), the Veg Samosa (comes with a delicious sort of sauce with pomegranate seeds, paneer and more), the streetfood of India I’ve been told, and of course garlic naan!
