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!

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.

The ambience is very relaxing, with candlelight, nice for couples as well as groups. I had the papadon with sauces(mint was delicious), onion bhaji(like onion rings but tastier with the sauces) and Lamb fika. The dishes were spicy, very filling and the lamb dish in particular was superb. The service is very prompt taking less than 10 minutes to fill the order.

While…read morelooking for an Indian restaurant to celebrate a wonderful occasion in Utrecht, I came upon India Port. The menu is your typical Indian cuisine, and since we are vegetarians, seemed like a good call. Unfortunately, the table reservations are completely futile. We had to wait close to half an hour for a table even though we had reservations. They confessed to mistaking someone else for me as my name sounded very Dutch(?). Anyway, the manager was gracious enough to make up for his mistake by offering a dessert on the house. Food is good. It's nothing spectacular, at least for vegetarians, but is better than your regular variety Indian fare available everywhere else. I liked the naan. If I could, I would revamp the ventilation inside. It was really stuffy, what with kitchen fumes inside the dining area, and the fact that the restaurant shares space with a Thai restaurant. It was a mixture of odors that will not leave your clothes easily. If you're in historic Utrecht, this restaurant is a good try.
