9/10This is an excellent restaurant! I’ve visited many South Indian restaurants, but over time, I’ve noticed a decline in service and cleanliness at some places. Here, however, the quality of food and variety offered is truly impressive. They manage to serve a large number of customers while maintaining a strong focus on customer service. The tables are cleaned promptly with proper disinfectant, ensuring a spotless dining experience.

10/10This restaurant was recommended to me by someone from southern India and it did not disappoint! I’m vegan and there were many options. I had the Dal Tadka and chapati and. So good! My daughter had a crab curry and cheese naan and she actually took the leftovers on the plane with her the next day!

8.5/10When you walk through the door and up the stairs, you don’t get a great first impression but the amazing, tasty food and friendly service makes you soon forget that.

8.5/10The food was good, the reservation was also well attended. The only thing I didn't like was that it was a little difficult to have a conversation because the music was a bit loud. The service was good.

6.5/10Not sure why this place gets such great reviews. The two others diners in our group with meat or chicken dishes were very happy with their meals. Both my vegetarian dishes, however, were among the worst I've had at any Indian restaurant in Amsterdam or elsewhere. The Palak paneer was neither tasty nor did it have a good, spinach-y texture. It was more like eating bright green cream sauce with bobbing cheese cubes. The yellow dal / lentils were much tastier and had a good kick but very thin and watery. The roti were delicious. The atmosphere was nothing special, with a radio blasting incongruously loud and bad music in the background. The staff was fairly friendly (and did turn the music down upon request) but not very efficient.

10/10The food was tasty and different to the usual Indian restaurant. I let the waiter advise on which tiffin and dessert to chose,he was knowledgeable and friendly. I had the mysore masala dosa as recommended and it was delicious. Dessert was also delicious but I can’t remember its name. Next time we try the Thali.

10/10The food was very good and the serving personel incredibly friendly and polite. That is also part of a nice dining experience. The food was how I remember from my visit to India. And there was a very nice selection of drinks and lots of different food options. I want to come back for the Thali.

6.5/10Food is good not great in terms of what it used to be. Would prefer a bit more nuance in terms of individual tastes of different dishes. Of course, being an Indian one can be overly critical. Highly recommended and perhaps one of the best Indian joints in the country.

10/10The food was excellent! I wanted my friends to try South Indian, and it was wonderful to see them enjoying the whole spread and being amazed by the different flavors! Very happy with the consistency as well.

9/10The food was very tasty and the staff seemed really interested in our feedback. Generous portions. Only minus point is that the fritters in the mixed starters were rather hard.

9/10The food is delicious, fresh! Everything we tried exceeded our expectations. But if I have to pick, highly recommend the Tulsi paneer tikka, very unique recipe. Service got a little sloppy towards the end, but everyone served with a smile always. 10/10 would go back

4/10The attitude of staff and the over hour waiting time could be improved. Food quality has dropped and serious understaffing. I have been visiting this restaurant for over 6 years and this is the first time it is so disappointing.
