    Little spot that we found, turned out to be a gem!…read more Great food and service. Authentic Indian food that hit the spot on a chilly, rainy day. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for some homemade food.

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.

    Wow, what a great find (albeit more pricey than I'd expected)! Mum and I were in town to check out…read morethe World Press Photo 2018 Winners exhibition being held at the WTC, and afterward, wanted to have an Indian Vegetarian dinner, before heading back to Amsterdam. This restaurant popped up with the high reviews, and it was also perfectly situated in between the WTC and Rotterdam Centraal station. We made our way up an elevator to the restaurant (there's two restaurants here, one Indian and one Chinese) and the dining room is a massive, well laid out and luxurious space. Our meal consisted of the following items: 1) Papads with chutney as an amuse bouche - there were two papad and served with a trio of chutneys. I loved the mango chutney while my mum liked the yogurt more. We were indifferent about the mint chutney. 2) A little tomato soup as starter - this was sent to us compliments of the chef and it was delicious. A mix between soup and tomato water with a beautiful curried taste twisting thru each sip 3) Aqua Panna (25ml aka small bottle) which was €2.20 - ouch thought this was expensive. 4) Vegatable Saffron Korma came which came with Yogurt (€18) - this was a wonderful medley of vegetables in a beautifully creamy sauce. Very tasty and my mum's fave dish. 5) Apple Brinjal (eggplant/ aubergine) masala (€17) - I've never heard of this combination before and it was so amazing! The tartness of the apple cut thru the earthiness of the eggplant. My fave dish of the night! 6) Vegetable Biryani (€17.50) - The taste of the vegetables used was very similar to the Saffron Korma. If we hadnt had the Korma, would have enjoyed the Biryani better. 7) 1 Tandoori Roti (€3.95) - pretty decent and well-cooked, but a bit on the small size. It's not a 5-stars, despite how good the food was, because of some issues with service. Firstly, we'd ordered a 2nd Tandoori Roti, which never came. Second issue was when instead of the Vegetable Biryani we had ordered, we actually served the Chicken Biryani instead, and we flagged the waiter to get this corrected. Thirdly, the Vegetables used in the Biryani were also massively similar in taste to the Korma, so that was a double up with the same taste, rather than the Veg Biryani having its own distinct flavours. I'd definitely came again however, cause the food flavours were fantastic and innovative. Among the best Indian food I've eaten and looking forward to trying other items on the menu. Yelp 35/ 2019

The One Star rating is for the long wait on a Monday night! When we ordered our food just past 9pm (after commuting/flying for close to 10 hours, we were hungry). There were only two other tables of diners, who had ordered and were finishing their meals. The meals ordered above are not exotic. We waited for almost 35-40 mins when I noticed a big tour group arrive at the restaurant. As we were seated outside on the sidewalk, I walked into restaurant and realized buffet dishes had been set out for this group. I spotted our waiter who then went to the kitchen, and says our meals will be coming out shortly. Later, the waiter admitted that the kitchen was preparing for the tour group before us. If he had me this known to us, we would have gone to another restaurant. Finally, this restaurant didn't even offer to comp part of the bill or offer dessert. They do NOT understand nor practise customer service. p/s. Even the tour guide was surprised at how long we waited and commented it shouldn't have taken that long to serve us. There were no other diners after that hour besides us and the big tour group. Re food, I will give 3 Stars.

    My cousin and I weren't originally trying to go to this place on a Wednesday evening. Our plan…read morebeforehand was to go to this dim sum restaurant across the street. But to our surprise, it was closed despite it saying it was open online. So we decided to check out dosa because indian food was our backup. The moment we entered we were greeted by a lovely interior and a woman brought us to our seats. Now I will admit I was a bit skeptical about this place after seeing the yelp reviews. Moments later our waiter Gaurov (sorry if I missed spelled it) came up and walked us through the menu. He was very formal, professional, and charming. He was incredibly thoughtful in his food recommendations, asking us what we usually liked and how spicy we wanted our food. Coming from a Mexican background, we enjoy spicy foods. We ordered the chicken madara which did not disappoint. The sauce was a perfect thickness that complimented how tenderness of the chicken. The garlic naan was fluffy inside...a must have for sure. In addition, we ordered their house special; I highly recommend the dosa chef special. I will admit it may look intimidating but sometimes you have to abandon all sorts of formality to enjoy a good dish. Overall what from what I have learned about eating here is one to never judge a book by its cover, and two this 20+ year family owned restaurant can bring wonderful service and keep up to today's food industry.

    This was some pf the most flavorful and good tasting food I have ever experienced in my life…read more Sherpa had great reviews and that held true for my experience. I had no idea I needed Nepalese/Tibetan/Indian food in my life. The smell as you walk into the restaurant immediately grabs your attention and lets you know you're in for an experience. Everything on the menu looked delectable and my only regret is that my stomach isn't big enough to have ordered every single thing on the menu. If k ever find myself in Amsterdam again I will undoubtedly be coming back to Sherpa.

Sherpa also has a Tibetan and Nepalese twist, and the menu had so many new-to-me items, including Momos. The restaurant smells amazing when you walk in, so I knew that choosing an entrée would be difficult, especially with so many vegetarian options. I ordered the Tshel momos, which are stuffed with minced vegetables and steamed. They were served with a homemade tomato sauce that, while cold, complimented them perfectly. They were not spicy, which was different for me since I usually go for some form of noodles and love at least medium spice. My husband had the Yeti's Food- Stir fried noodles with boneless chicken and vegetables with Himalayan herbs. He usually goes for curry, so this was a change for him as well. Both of us really enjoyed our meals and are glad we went with something we've never seen in the US before. The service was great, and the servers brought out fresh papadam, raita, and some other condiments to try as soon as we were seated. They also kept our waters and my husband's beer filled and brought us Wilhelmina mints at the end of our meal with the check. Those mints are amazing and so much better than the US post-meal mints, and I had to buy a large package to take home! If you're looking for a culinary adventure in Amsterdam that is NOT Dutch food, check out Sherpa. Bonus points for being an easy walk from the museum district.
