The service was extremely polite and quick to respond; the stater was there without waiting (yet tasted very fresh) and the quality and flavouring of the food was just fantastic. What I also like was the fact that they had catered the portions to be modest (yet well priced), so its easy to add more of if you feel like it, but the food is not forced upon you like in some other Indian places (they truly start with some light precourses). Also what I found very considerate was that they ware able to take into account that I'm allergic to koriander (which is found in about 80% of Indian Dishes in both fresh and dried form) and still make delicious, spicey, non-spicey and flavoured dishes. All in all, this place is definetly one I will visit again in the future to quench my thirst for Indian cuisine! Tip: they have a very decent 2010 Chateau-neuf-du-Pape on the menu which definetey worth the 40 price tag.

Along with my wife, son and some very close family friends, we decided to travel all the way from…read moreDen Haag to Amstelveen to have dinner at India Kitchen. The food was decent ( nothing exceptional) but an outright case of cheating left a very bad taste. We will never ever visit the restaurant again and would strongly advise others to avoid the same. Detailed background below 1. We ordered 4 main dishes which was accompanied with complimentary rice. While serving, the restaurant folks very cleverly compiled only 2 portions of rice in one bowl ( instead of offering 2 bowls equivalent to 4 portions). When we asked for supplementary rice, we were very cheekily charged. The sad part is that the owner even acknowledged the same 2. We were told by the restaurant staff that the water offered is Tap Water but once again, we were charged Euros 11 for 2 bottles of water. When questioned, they said that they use Purezza filtered Water. The bottles in which water was stored was unhygienic with the cap ( cover) being distorted 3. The Portion sizes of the dishes at the price charged were really small Please avoid going to this scam restaurant

Victory is mine! And can be yours too!…read more Do you sometimes find yourself riding your bicycle down the lane looking up at eatery signs wondering where the name comes from? No?? You have better things to focus on like the hottie across the street or the idiot in front of you that is swaying within the biking lane blocking your procession? Well in case you were ever curious about the Indian restaurant Vijay Dhaba on Amstelveenseweg, I, along with my companion Google Translate, are here to satisfy your linguistic thirst for knowledge! Vijay = means victory and is often a dude's name Dhaba = food stops often found along the highway next to petrol stations I feel like this is a perfect description of this place as my stomach was screaming VICTORY after what seemed to be an endless and welcomed invasion of Indian yumminess sending praises throughout my large and small intestines! Although this establishment is not next to a petrol station, it certainly is a destination where I would like to stop for food on frequent occasions and fill up my own tank! First of all, the owner is super nice!! For purposes of this review, I shall call him 'homeboy'. Homeboy is Indian, grew up in Bern, journeyed through an eight month trip from Miami to New York and has been to Japan five times this year alone. What does that have to do with the food? Nothing! But just saying that homeboy wants to be your bff and will MAKE SURE that you have a pleasant dining experience. I had two types of Indian beers that were never empty, which is hard to achieve with my alcoholic @ss around. We were promptly greeted with some crispy papadums with sauce as we waited for our feast. VD has a normal menu, but homeboy slyly coaxed us into the feast for a day. Basically we were told to sit back, relax and enjoy. Little did we know what were in in for! First was the appetizer plate. We EACH got our own plate that consisted of ALL items on their appetizer menu!! Veggie Samosa - my ALL-TIME fave and it was delicious here Tandori Sheesh Kabob - Interesting flavor and quite yummy! Tandori Chicken Wing - Noticing a trend here.... Yummy again! Onion Bhaji - This reminds me a veggie pakoras and I will confuse I loved this! Usually these kind of fried things are two dry or boring, but this not so greasy fried addition was very welcome on my beginning plate as well as my belly! Seriously I was ready to call it a day after the appetizer plate alone. Oh but wait.... There was more! Next came the naan... I'm very particular when it comes to naan... Like I want it all! Crispy, but not burnt. Soft inside, but not soggy. Hot, flavorful, crazy, sexy, cool. All of the above please! As soon as my eyes were exposed to a basket filled with steamy slices of bubbly flat bread shining with ghee, I KNEW I would love this naan. And it was confirmed as soon as my greedy hands shoved a piece into my masala mouth. Mmmm! After the initial shock of the yummy naan and garlic naan, our main meal came. Just like a rijsttafel, they placed warmer platforms on our table and began to present a line up of Indian food!! Chicken Tikka Masala Chicken Vindaloo Aloo Mater (potato and pea curry) Saag (definitely my favorite dish for the night) Veggie Curry And of course a huge plate of basmati rice The only negative thing that I wasn't exactly thrilled with, was the fact that the chicken seemed a little tough and overcooked. Luckily, I would 10 times rather take a piece of naan, dip it in the various curries and munch on that... so it was not a big problem. Now... imagine five grown men sitting around a table filled with food already full from the appetizer plate, but taking advantage of the curry feast spread out in front of them. Now picture our shocked faces when we heard the distant sound of sizzling platters hastily approaching our table. Before we knew it, there was yet ANOTHER addition to the already huge feast even too large for a six armed Vishnu and a masala hungry Ganesh to handle... We were now faced with two large platters of tandoori delights! More chicken, veggies, kababs... you name it. Homeboy told us he would take care of us, but little did we know he was planning to feed our stomachs for the rest of the week! I can't really say much after this because I, along with my companions, were in complete fomas (food-comas) after this experience. Of course, I wasn't going to turn down one of my favorite desserts of kheer (indian rice pudding). Can you guess how much it cost us for the beers, appetizers, naan, entrees, more entrees, dessert and coffee??? €30.... Like really?? I feel like we are putting them out of business eating all the food they had in the kitchen for only 30? Unfortunately, I live too close to here and I will be drawn to stretch my stomach again like I did tonight.... So with that, we all went to see an opera show as part of Grachtenfestival and I was surprised we were able to keep it together with the Bollywood party going on in our stomachs.
