Reviews from Our Guests

This might have been the best meal on my trip to Amsterdam. The tasting menu was amazing and let us sample everything of which I found everything amazing but the Spicy Lamb was another level. The service was terrific and the the ambience was also great. The special cocktails like the Mayur were out of this world. I would 100% go back here on my next visit from NYC. – Rajiv P.

Amazing Indian food and great service. Had a fantastic dinner at Mayur, the Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Chops were full of flavor, and the naan was perfect. Cozy ambiance and very friendly staff. Highly recommend if you’re in Amsterdam and craving authentic Indian cuisine. – Jack V

We've been coming to this place for a long time and have never been disappointed—in fact, we've been pleasantly surprised more than once! It's hands down the best Indian food we've ever had. The staff is both professional and incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between chic and cozy. The moment you step inside, you just know you're in for a great experience. Also, don’t hesitate to ask for recommendations instead of sticking to what you know—the menu is extensive and full of unexpected delights. – Thibault S.

Vanaf binnenkomst tot het verlaten heeft deze plek mij verbaasd. De service is subliem, de sfeer is geweldig en het eten is uitmuntend. Wij houden van uiteten gaan en zijn fijnproevers en dit restaurant staat zeer hoog in onze top 3. Heerlijke mix starter met verschillende stukjes vlees uit de Tandoori oven. De lambchops zijn ongelofelijk. De chicken tikka masala was perfect gekruid. Heerlijke verse naan broden. Wij komen hier zeker terug! – D M
