This was the first place my wife and I went after moving to Hilversum from the US back in 2013…read more It's so good we've been back several times since! The food is probably the most authentic Indian food I've had in the Netherlands so far. It's rich, flavorful and (when appropriate) VERY spicy. The portions are reasonable, but you may need to bring a bit home with you (which isn't really a bad thing). The variety on the menu is great and everything I've tried has been excellent. The restaurant itself is very tiny, but beautifully decorated and comfortable. It's probably the most cozy restaurant I've ever been in. Unless you're going on a random Tuesday night, I suggest calling ahead for a reservation.

The decor is upscale modern with some Indian pieces. We ordered a few different chicken dishes and they were all outstanding. The meal came with vegetable curry which was amazing too. Naan was fresh and pappadam plentiful. Our beer and wine were tasty and affordable. My only note would be- the WC/bathroom sinks are tiny- 4"x 6". I've never seen anything like it.

I was only able to get tickets for the AFH for a 6:15 p.m. tour, meaning we got finished around 8 p.m. Hence, this became our late dinner option that day. I wasn't sure how busy they would be, but I guess we arrived late enough so that they had a few tables available. The restaurant is located on a fairly busy street (served by trams, which we later used to get back to the Central Station area). It is only a few doors down from one of the canals. The menu indicated that they had been in business since the 1980s, so they must be doing something right. As an added reference point, they are about a 20-minute walk from the Central Station. We arrived and were greeted and shown to a table near the front of the restaurant. It seemed to extend quite a way back, but I didn't have a reason to venture further in. Our server was friendly and provided menus and took our drink orders. I know they had wine but I don't know if they had a full bar. There were certainly several tables of Americans and Brits who appeared to be well served in that regard, so maybe there was a bar... The menu was fairly extensive, with an appreciable overlap with dishes we were familiar with from Indian places in the U.S. We all found something to our taste. I think we ended up with a couple of vegetarian curry dishes and one that was chicken-based. We also got naan and rice. Everything was good, and given the lateness of dinner (for us), we were hungry. When the food came out, they also brought one warming stand per dish. This was something new that we encountered at a couple of restaurants on this trip. This is probably more relevant in the winter months, but it kept the food hot. I'd likely return here for another meal if I'm ever back in Amsterdam.

I ordered the Chicken Vindaloo. The waiter said, "It's very hot". I said, "Good"! I was very hot. It was also very delicious! It was so hot I thought my face would melt. It was the kind of heat that would make Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atomic bomb), jealous. It would make Shiva very proud. But it was so delicious. Be sure to order some naan or poori to help mitigate the heat. It seems to be a family-run place and the wait staff was very attentive.

Also had the Indian tea at the end of our meal, really good cup of chai, came in a cute little teapot as well, enough for 3 refills of my teacup.

Would definitely come back here again

The ambiance is very relaxing with dim lighting and pillows around the chairs and walls. I came here on a Monday or Tuesday when they have the 10 euro specials and the week I can in, it was on chicken masala! 10/10 for food, as it was extremely delicious and flavorful (something that is hard to come across in the Netherlands). It is extremely pricey so for students who are trying to get their Indian fix, I recommend coming here when they have the specials. They also give you an appetizer too, which was lovely. The staff was very attentive and occasionally checked up on us. I would love to come again next time I am in Utrecht!
