-- Exceptional There are restaurants you visit, and there are restaurants you return to -- time and again, for the moments that matter most. Mayur belongs firmly in the latter category. Whether celebrating an intimate family dinner or hosting my most discerning business clients, Mayur unfailingly delivers an experience that transcends the meal itself. From the moment you step inside, the warm, sophisticated décor signals that something genuinely special awaits -- rich and enveloping, evoking the grandeur of India's finest traditions through a refined, contemporary lens. The kitchen is where Mayur truly shines. The lamb chops are an absolute revelation -- tender, smoky, and perfectly spiced. The Butter Chicken is perhaps the finest I have encountered: velvety, deeply aromatic, and utterly considered. The naans arrive pillow-soft and freshly baked, with the garlic naan deserving singular mention -- fragrant, golden, and irresistible. The wine programme pairs beautifully with the cuisine, and the cocktail and mocktail menu is equally impressive -- inventive, crafted, and genuinely memorable. Mayur makes every occasion feel elevated. This is authentic Indian fine dining at its very best, and I recommend it without reservation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

This is a classy place. I wasn't expecting the level of service that was provided. Very professional! The food was excellent! I ordered a non-alcoholic ginger drink from their menu and it was really good. Good strong ginger flavor and it was kinda spicy too. Really refreshing drink. I would definitely eat at this place again and I recommend it to anyone looking for some good Indian food. read more

Wonderful food and service! We ate outside which was lovely. We ordered the samosa's, butter chicken, chicken biriyani, raita & naan. I was worried with others reviews but the concierge at our hotel recommended it and it did not disappoint! read more

Mayur Indian Restaurant is in the museum district of Amsterdam just a block away from the Rijksmuseum. I have been going here for almost 10 years. The owner, Manu, always remembers me and gives me a warm welcome that makes this place feel, to me, like more than just a restaurant. The welcome is genuine. All the servers are friendly and helpful. I would call this an upscale Indian restaurant. It is absolutely beautiful inside with mood lighting set to a level that creates a classy and good vibe. If it is warm enough, I'd recommend sitting outside for great people watching. GoPol was my server during my most recent visit. He recommended the 'old Monk drink' made with traditional Indian Rum. It looked like an old Fashion and was pretty good. GoPol brought out the traditional rice cakes with 3 dips: pickled spicy, yogurt mint, and sweet mango puree. This comes with every dinner and it is a great, light way of getting your taste buds ready for a great meal. It was a bit cold outside, so I ordered the chicken soup. It came out hot with fresh chicken pieces, but it was a bit bland for my taste. The Jambo prawn appetizer, shrimp dipped in yogurt and tandoor sauce, was delicious. For the main course I ordered butter chicken, which I have had several times over the years. It comes with a very light basmati rice. As usual, it was tasty and delicious, especially with the cheesy garlic naan. If you are visiting Amsterdam and want a nice meal in a beautiful setting with great people, visit Mayur. They have consistently earned a 5-star rating from me. read more

A very nice restaurant. Accomodating to strollers and small children. They give a choice of indoor anf outdoor dining. The hostess is pleasant and the waitstaff is polite. The wait for our order was a touch long but not uncomfortably so. The food was good comfort food, the butter chicken mild and tasty and the garlic naan just garlicky enough. A good place to eat when you are in Amsterdam! read more

Good authentic Indian food. Only reason for 1 less star is limited menu options. But overall good food.

Terrible service, disrespectful staff. Do not recommend, go to Ashoka or Tulsi instead for great Indian Food.

Great food and fantastic service. Personal attention by the owner makes this an excellent choice to entertain customers, colleagues and friends. A definite visit each time I'm in Amsterdam. read more

I just sat down and I'm in love with place already. Great start to an amazing dinner.

Stars awarded for solid tasting food and a friendly waiter, but otherwise the rest of the experience made for my least favorite sitdown meal throughout two weeks of travelling Europe. The restaurant vibe wasn't there. We did the tasting menu which was a had tasty (but not outstanding) dishes of smaller portions. Paneer and butter chicken were good, not great. Lamb was great. I could have skipped the yogurt and lentil mixes. Expensive small cocktails (est $15eu iirc) and slow service detracted from the visit. It took forever to request our check. The restaurant was pretty empty, and I was able to get better food and service for 1/5 the price from Zeeshan Kababish in Barcelona. read more

The only reason they get 2 stars is because I can ride a cab almost right to the front door of the restaurant. I have been here thrice and have always had bad experiences with the service. The quality of food has been alright, except that rice isn't the high quality basmati that you would expect. Also, what's with the serving size no bigger than 2-3 tablespoons full of curry? They even put a warning at the bottom of their menu asking everyone at the table to order at least a main dish. That and the exorbitant prices for slow and impersonal service aren't even the main reasons to avoid Mayur; they are almost deceptive with their reservations system. They will never have a table ready for you, or at least that has been my experience. You will have to wait, you will be rudely told how it's your own fault for not getting seated, and you will still have to read glaring reviews on other websites (possibly scam?) talking about their wonderful service and food. They will tell you that while you wait 10-15 minutes to get your reserved table, you could sit in their lounge and order drinks, except that they don't have a drinks menu (only wine), or even cocktails. I have never seen anyone gladly enjoy drinks in the lounge. Who would want to, especially when they didn't get a table when they reserved one? If you ask them to bring out an appetizer or two while you wait, the hostess would have no idea if they can do so and then simply disappear, never to come back again. After three opportunities I am ready to strike off Mayur from my list of 'terrible experiences that deserve another chance'. read more

The staff was great!!! Always on the lookout for us. We had such nice food. Very filling and tasty. The Nans were fresh and the garlic naan was especially good. The ambiance is very nice - beautiful lighting and intimate. Great for a romantic dinner. read more

Terrible! Overpriced, below average and very disappointing. This isn't traditional Indian food they claim to serve. Opted for the Christmas menu (a thali) and it was so bad. Seems like they have pre-made 3 sauces - sweet, medium spicy and hot. To which they add paneer/chicken, depending on non veg/veg menu ordered. I say this because paneer makhni and chicken tikka masala tasted the same. Nothing like how it should be though. The butter chicken was a dessert. We were served one kebab type less as a starter (on the set menu). I don't know why. The wine we ordered never made it to the table. It's not worth the high price they charge, at all! read more

My wife and I were blown away by the excellent service, and the food was fantastic. You will recognize the dishes, and they are executed perfectly. So if you have a favorite Indian dish, this is your place. Highly recommended. read more

Located very close to the American Hotel near the restaurant row/tourist shopping area. Very nice decor, feels classy, more upscale, sexy, romantic, good for groups or for a date or just a small group of friends/family. Good service for the dutch (everything seems to be done VERY slowly in Amsterdam). Ordered the chicken tikka masala (sauce was below average compared to the states, but ok), lamb curry (in red sauce, meat was good). Lamb and chicken tandoori (both were great). Saffron rice, good. Okra, salty and smaller than normal in size (the okra), but good. Naan was not good compared to US, dryer and less fluffy, more flat and overcooked. Samosas were also not the same as in the US, smaller, less potato, shrimp tandoori appretizer were good, lamb appetizer was the BEST! Could have eaten that alone. Pakora was overcooked and overflavored. I love Indian food, but to me, this was below par. However for Amsterdam, it was probably average to above average as there aren't many options! Friend has the Cobra beer and said it was good. read more

Great food and great service. I come here every time I visit Amsterdam and each time the food is amazing. The ambience is high end/fancy while the food is authentic home tasting. It's wonderful for groups or couples. They have a full bar and can make any type of drink cocktails you want. Location is awesome as after dinner you can walk around and enjoy the night life. Def recommend this place to anyone visiting who wants great tasting Indian food. read more

After messing up our reservations and being unapologetic about it, we sit 6 to a cramped table meant for 4. Aside from the meat being over seasoned, every curry looked like they all came from the same pot with the exception of some last minute food coloring action. This place used to be the shit back in the day (which was a Wednesday btw) but I'm sure there are much better places out there now. Oh and my ice cream tasted like frozen milk. Icicles and all. read more

The MAYUR is an awesome restaurant with veryvery friendly staff and amazingly delicious food. It DOES look a little bit on the pricey side on the first look - but after tasting the food, you come to realize that it is worth every cent. The group of us haven't eaten that delicious indian food in a long long time. Highly reco this place. read more

We walked around searching for a place to eat and we stumbled onto this restaurant. We really liked it. In NYC I would give it two to three stars, but since it's in Amsterdam, I gave it four stars. read more

2.5 stars*** Came here with a group of 8 or so w/ reservation for dinner a week ago. The Indian food here was great (liked the chicken tikka marsala) and we had about 5-6 different curries, garlic and plain nann, and mango lassi. The reason for the three star is that dinner took 3 hours because they were so so so slow at serving food (due to lots of BIC Pol and our big table). Also, it was extremely hot in there and everyone at the table was complaining about the heat and the restaurant seemed to have no AC. read more

They wouldn't seat us at 2 tables when nobody was there. Only wanted us to sit next to abnoxiois men all over the table next to them. Rude rude rude. They claim they have "limited seating" outdoors, but woildnt take reservations and wouldn't allow is to wait for the 4th person in our party or eat 2 to two 2 person tables. Basically kicked out because they would only seat is on top of these other annoying gentlemen. Too bad. Usually drop over $400 there and tip. Never again. Utterly rude. read more

Hands down the best Indian restaurant in Amsterdam: great food, nice ambiance, and very friendly staff. I'm a happy local regular!
