6.5/10The taste was below average. I’ve tried Indian food in many countries and it was always good, except this time. The biryani had nothing to do with the usual biryani; it was just rice with some tomato sauce, and the chicken had a strange taste.

5/10I’m from the UK and I am Indian, so I eat, cook and get cooked a lot of Indian food. This was not authentic in the slightest. Firstly they give you the drinks menu separately so you order a drink and they take their time bringing the food menu. Nice ploy. The mixed platter was unbelievably bland and overpriced. Then with the mains, overpriced for the size of the portion. The chicken karahi was obviously sweeter, as the colour wasn’t dark so you could already tell there was a lot of tomato in it. The chicken wasn’t cooked in the sauce, they were chicken tikka pieces so it’s not a karahi. We asked it for a spicy Punjabi level and the waitress didn’t understand. The dal tarka was okay, but nothing special. The naan was salted, but again, small naan pieces for the price you pay. In tbe UK, you can get a family naan which is huge. The portions are bigger and cheaper. The waitress received our feedback but did not speak to the chef or manager for us. Very disappointed.

7.5/10The food was decent and nicely presented, though not every dish was consistent in taste. Service was friendly but a bit slow. Overall, a fair dining experience.

The taste was clearly below average — I came with high expectations and left disappointed. To make it worse, the prices were unreasonably high.

3/10The host was rude. Asking us to put our sleeping 1 year old kid in a kids chair and refused us putting the stroller next to our table to keep him sleeping next to us. He made the whole experience at the restaurant Uncomfortable.

4.5/10I visited the restaurant at 1:10 PM and ordered chicken biryani. After about 10–20 minutes, an Indian family arrived, placed the same order as mine, and were served by around 1:45 PM. However, I still hadn’t received my food by then. I asked the staff why my order was delayed and why others were being served before me, despite arriving earlier and ordering the same dish. Eventually, I received my food at 2:05 PM — nearly an hour after I ordered — which made me late for my flight. To make things worse, two other guests who came in after me also got their meals and finished eating before I was even served. This experience was disappointing and frustrating. I hope the restaurant improves its service and treats all customers fairly, regardless of their background or nationality.

10/10Great Indian restaurant in Amsterdam. We had samosas for starter. It was great. We had chicken biryani, the spice and the taste of the rice were really balanced and great. Will definitely recommend it to my friends and family.
