    The staff was super rude and don’t pay any attention to the customers. No one is ready to take orders after seating 30mins and 3 reminders. No complementary papadam served and excuses are given instead. Not accessible for kids on a buggy. No baby stool available

    The food was super delicious — the flavors were well-balanced, a bit on the spicy side (which I loved), and most importantly, it tasted truly authentic. Most Indian restaurants in Amsterdam miss that balance of flavors, but this place really gets it right.

    The food is authentic and excellent quality. The service is friendly and helpful. I love the dosas, the starters are super delicious. There are loads of vegetarian and vegan options. The tandoori and other south Indian meat, fish and chicken curries and variety of indian breads and biryanis are highly recomended. I've introduced many friends to this restaurant and they've all been back.

    One of the best Indian restaurant (outside India) that I have done in my entire life (and I had quite a few … 👀) The Indian Chai was perfect. I like it with a lot of sugar but still great. The lamb biriyani was great (taste and smell). Personally, I prefer a lot more spicy because I am used to it but for European taste, it is perfect. The hot Gulab Jamun with some ice cream is a superb idea. The mix is just amazing. No mistake, I strongly recommend !

    After a long European trip, I enjoyed an excellent Uttapam (I requested they make it plain for me) and I combined it with a chicken starter. The right balance of flavours, unique to the region of the cuisine and the perfect amount of heat that I needed to make me feel at home. Craving dosa? Go here!

    The food,the service was just amazing.. it was my son's birthday. And they surprised him by celebrating in a unique way. Only the wait time is bit longer but one can wait to try the tasty authentic food. Highly recommended.

    I can’t talk to the food, since I never got that far. I’m sure it would have been delicious. I made a reservation, showed up on time, and was promptly seated. That was the last I saw of any service. After waiting for 30 minutes, I got up and left. The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy, and they looked adequately staffed.
