We’d been asked if we wanted the curries spicy, so naturally we said yes, and for once these genuinely were. But neither of those descriptions do the dishes justice at all. Background: Hara Bhara Paneer Tikka.įor main courses, we chose the Murgh Makhni, which described itself as “proudly known as butter chicken worldwide”, and the Pindi Channa – a type of chickpea curry. The sauce it came with was sweet from tomato, but creamy and ever so slightly crunchy from nuts. Our second starter was Bharwan Shimla Mirch : a whole red pepper, stuffed with a spicy, potato-based filling and baked. It sounds simple, but you could taste the tandoori grill in the cheese, while the sauce tasted every bit as fresh and green as it looks. To start, we tried the Hara Bhara Paneer Tikka: a skewer of paneer cheese and vegetables, grilled in the tandoori oven and served with a mint and coriander dipping sauce. But The Indian Kitchen served me by far the best Indian food I’d experienced in the Netherlands just before lockdown, and I’ve been desperate to go back ever since. There’s a bit of a catch to this first restaurant recommendation in that it’s actually in Amstelveen.

I’ll continue to update this article as and when I eat at new restaurants that I think should make the cut. And secondly, this list is by no means exhaustive: I’ve taken recommendations from plenty of Indian expats along the way, but there are undoubtedly places I’ve missed. Firstly, I’ve never been to India I am definitely no expert on Indian cuisine and my experiences are informed entirely by being British, which comes with its own problematic colonial implications.

Do you know of a restaurant that serves it? PLEASE TELL ME! 10 of the Best Indian Restaurants in Amsterdamīefore getting into the full list, let me just clarify a couple of things. In fact, I never see the chicken green masala on menus in Amsterdam at all.
*To this day, I’ve never found a chicken green masala as good as the one from Khan’s (my favourite dish on the menu), except possibly at Ravi’s in Dubai. Luckily, 15 years later, a few good Indian restaurants are starting to spring up in Amsterdam serving everything from South Indian dosas to North Indian classics like butter chicken. So when I moved to the Netherlands in 2006, Indian food was possibly the only thing I missed about the UK. I was living in Brixton, just down the road from an amazing little curry house called Khan’s*, which was every bit as good as the restaurants on the famed Brick Lane and probably a lot cheaper. I only worked in London for two years, right after I graduated, but it was an education in Indian food.
