Anaya Foods 🇮🇳 — Restaurant in The Hague

I had very high hopes since I love Indian food, have been to India many times. When we came in it was quite empty but we weren't received by anyone. There were 2 officers in the building talking to the staff so perhaps something happened just before. We walked up to the counter and actually had to start the conversation with them. We sat down, there was no place to hang our coats, and since I was on the couch and had a really thick wintercoat it was in the way. The guy gave us the menu without taking a drinks order, even though we wanted to order drinks. Now we had to wait about 15 minutes before he took the order and 25 minutes before our drinks arrived at the table, even though there were only 3 other tables.

Allthough I thought the decoration was beautiful and the restaurant really well done, we also noticed the lights inside to be extremely bright, all in white led. It was so bright I got a headache towards the end of the dinner (I have mild photophobia).

I found the portion sizes to be very small. I'm a big eater and was still hungry at the end, but my friend who isn't a big eater at all was also still hungry at the end, even though we had starters, mains with sides and deserts.

The starter was a bit dissapointing. One dish was served on a white bun you buy in the supermarket and on a coffee plate. The other dish, hara bhara kabab, was very very spicy, which wasn't advertised anywhere. I found the flavour of the food to be lacking as well. The paneer that my friend ordered had no particular flavour, it was bland. My mushroom "curry" tasted strange, and since me and my friend both got sick that night and the next day we think there was something wrong with the products here. We send an email to the restaurant to notify them of us getting sick but we never received a reply. My mushroom curry also contained big chunks of onion and pepper. I think this type of food, where flavour is such a big part, should never have tablespoon size chunks of vegetables, this should be diced finely to get a little bit of all the flavours in one spoon, not just a whole spoon full of bell pepper.

Considering we paid almost 50 euro's p/p without drinking alcohol I expected a lot more. It litterally left a sour taste in my mouth. I do want to say that the waiter was very patient and a joy to have at our table, for us it was the kitchen that...

Authentic Punjabi Restaurant: A Must-Visit Indian Restaurant in Den Haag My wife and I were in search of a new dining experience for our romantic dinner, and when we stumbled upon Anaya Foods, an Indian vegetarian restaurant, I have to admit, as a hardcore chicken lover, I was a bit skeptical. However, the owner, sensing my apprehension, recommended their Malai Chaap soya and Paneer Tikka as must-try starters! Little did I know that this dining experience would surpass my expectations -the Malai Chaap soya even outshone the typical chicken tikka that I hold dear. It was a delightful surprise, and it made me realize that vegetarian options can truly shine with the right culinary expertise. We couldn't resist ordering the Veg Diya Chaap curry and Paneer Butter Masala from their menu. The Veg Diya Chaap curry stood out with its perfectly blended spices, giving it an authentic Indian taste while the Paneer Butter Masala had a truly rare and authentic Punjabi flavor that you don't often find in the Netherlands. Apart from the exceptional cuisine, the ambiance at Anaya Foods was modern and inviting. The restaurant's tasteful décor, contemporary lighting, and comfortable seating set the perfect stage for our romantic evening. The service we received was attentive, with knowledgeable staff who shared their passion for the menu. A special mention goes to the delightful Indian Sula wines, my favourite and highly...

Please read entirely. I had called this place around 7pm on Saturday to book a table for 2 adults and 1 toddler, they had said they were full till 8:00/8:30. We arrived around 7:45 just to see that they had only 2 tables with guests and all other tables were empty. It made me wonder.

Anyhow, we were seated. The ambiance is wonderful, very neat, nicely decorated, artistically set up. Just that their exhausted tube was very visible as the only drawback to the interior.

We were soon attended and our order was received. Their food was very well presented, yummy and perfect for a rainy day.

In a couple of minutes they had asked me to stop my toddler from making noise. Firstly, my toddler did not leave my table to disturb two other guest in the restaurant, also he was well engaged in his food. We did not hear him make Loud unpurposeful noise. This made me wonder too. In conclusion, it felt like there are not open for family with young kids because they want to remain "classic"

I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a couple or a small group of ppl and surely not a family crowd because they don't seem to be welcoming.

Overall, good food,...
