Atchaya in Randwijck

Excellent food quality & service. We had South Indian thalis and lentil vada which were authentic and reminded us of home cooked food.

Atchaya is an absolute gem for authentic Indian cuisine in Amsterdam. We visited with a group of colleagues, and even though we arrived and placed our order a bit late, the staff was incredibly accommodating and kind about it, ensuring we still had a wonderful experience. From start to finish, every dish we ordered was bursting with rich, well-balanced flavors and traditional spices that tasted genuinely authentic. The curries were fragrant and cooked to perfection, while the breads arrived piping hot, soft, and fresh. The portion sizes were very generous, offering great value for money. Beyond the incredible food, the hospitality was truly outstanding, the staff remained warm, polite, and attentive throughout. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. If you are craving genuine Indian flavors in the city, Atchaya is a must-visit, and we will definitely be coming back on our next trip!

Over 90 minutes to deliver soggy food

This is my kind of restaurant…they 100% focus on the food…and keeping it as authentic as they can feasibly do in Amsterdam. This is the kind of place for people who know butter chicken is a colonial dish and resent that it has come to symbolize such a vast cuisine. The menu is incredible…I’ve been here a dozen times and still have more stuff I want to try. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re veggie tho…it’s the meats that are truly outstanding. Honestly the best Indian restaurant in the country…if we were in London, this would be the joint in Newham with a line out the door.

Very cozy and cute place. Nice food, dishes were very flavorful! Service is friendly and caring, will visit again :)

This restaurant is an embarrassment to South Indian food, particularly Tamil food. I was visiting Amsterdam for work and my hotel was nearby, being a South Indian myself I was excited. When I told my South Indian friend that I am staying near this restaurant, his reaction was “omg the worst food”. I looked at reviews and they seemed OK ( definitely fake). So I decided to give it a try, I ordered a home style lamb curry. It was pre boiled and probably frozen for days, tiny lamb pieces that tasted like shoes with a really bad texture, thrown in a watery gravy with no taste and some coconut milk to make it even worse. So I threw it away and didn’t complain, this was a take away, paid around €30 with porotta etc. oily frozen porotta disgusting. OK so I don’t easily give up, I wanted to try one more time as I was checking out from hotel and wanted to hang somewhere for a bit. This time I ordered lamb coconut fry hoping how can you go wrong on a fry, oh boy extremely salty lamb pieces with the texture of a leather shoe and burnt texture instead of fried, basically frozen and pre boiled lamb pieces thrown in tawa but disgusting, to top it up some coconut powder from a pack, oh god why!!! So I ordered a dosa as I was hungry and by the way the dosa was Ok but the watery sambar had no taste except salt. I asked the waiter to try the lamb but he said he is going to temple and can’t eat meat today, maybe he is telling the truth or maybe he knows how bad the food is already. They still charged me €37, thought I returned the lamb. Apparently the chef tried and thought it was okay, of course he or she doesn’t know how to cook. Worst experience, please don’t go here and this restaurant would be out of business if not for fake reviews. If you are a South Indian, you are going to be furious. Also my stomach hurts already, let’s just hope I don’t get sick after the horrible food and experience. Also if your friends tell you this place is bad, they are telling the truth, trust them completely. By the way less than 100 metres away there are amazing grill restaurants for about the same price with delicious food, I tried one for lunch yesterday and was very happy. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! Look at negative reviews first, they are hiding it with fake positive reviews

We have visited the restaurant multiple times and have tried multiple dishes. Food has been good and never got disappointed. We have mostly tried South Indian food and flavors were on point. Food was freshly made. There are vegetarian and non vegetarian options. When we asked they specifically mentioned that the food is halal. Service was also good.

We went group dinner. It's really nice. Thank you

Had a delicious meal. Nice people, good explanation

One of the best south Indian restaurant. Loved the food and atmosphere very much

Very friendly staff. The food was delicious. We'd love to come back. Highly recommended.

My experience is always very good that why we prefer to go to Atchaya for South Indian Food in Amstelveen...

Good food and service. If you are not into spicy food, I recommend to ask the waiter for unspicy food.

Must visit for Indians travelling to Netherlands for business purpose or tourism. Worried about native food, This restaurant made me forget that i'm away from home.

Great food and service. Lovely people.

We went there for a group lunch with friends. Most of us ordered dosas of different kinds, mostly good but we could not finish one each. I personally did not fall for their sambar or chutneys , tasted bland. Everyone liked their buttermilk and ABC juice. I loved the manchurian, although on the spicy side, but i like that so not an issue for me.

Amazing food...best south Indian food in Amsterdam 😋

Delicious food and friendly service.

Visited today and disappointed with their dosa and vada tastes which used to be very good. Dosas and chutneys were taste less. Medu vada was salt less! Took also a take away for biryani where I was surprised to see the take away box for 17.50eur!! Atchaya lost its charm! Never coming back again ,which once used to be favourite family spot!

It's our go to brunch place! Love their Dosas

I dined here in December of 2025. The food was just okay, You know how it is in Indian Restaurants. It was just like the same everywhere. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a simple, everyday kind of experience. After eating here, had some trouble going to the toilet the next morning. It looks like it caused some kind of constipation. 😞

We enjoyed a delicious lunch with our friends at Atchaya. We love South Indian food.

My go to place since I had it for first time. Each and every item is worth trying. Atmosphere is really simple yet wonderful, the staff members are really polite and food is just top notch. 100% recommended My fav Podi masala dosa Chicken ularthiyathu Chicken biriyani And many more… No marketing needed as this is a silent winner 🤤

I've been here several times and have recommended it to others. There are few good restaurants in the area, but this is my favorite. The service is great, and the food gets a 10 out of 10. I've tried several dishes, and my kids love it too. It's so nice that I can bring my children along.

Super delicious food! I've been here many times and will definitely keep coming back. 😋 Good job guys! 👏🏾

Good service🎖️ but bad food 🤮: Had the worst chicken biriyani ever in this restaurant. I’m not a great cook but I do way way better than this scam. Not sure about how other dishes taste though…

Excellent food and customer service. Definitely recommended.. especially for south indian food.

Nice authentic south Indian food. Guntur chicken was great tasty and flavourful. I would recommend filter coffee as well.

Food was delayed due to too many people

I visited atchaya recently and enjoyed a solid vegetarian meal. The vegetarian fried rice was flavorful and well-seasoned, though it would be even better with more veggies or some paneer for added texture. The mango lassi was juicy and tasty, a perfect complement to the meal. If you're nearby, it's a great spot for a quick, delicious vegetarian bite. Highly recommend!

Good authentic Tamil style cooking. I have been here few times already and like almost everything I have ordered. Recommend their butter chicken, mixed fried rice, mutton sukka, Rava kesari.

Really good south Indian food. Their onion pakoda is the best you can get in Amsterdam. I have tried pakoda in many places in and around Amsterdam and none of them were authentic. This is the most authentic pakoda you can get outside india. We tried their breakfast dishes as well and they are decent.

Delicious food, generous portions, friendly staff and reasonable pricing

Excellent, authentic south Indian food. The Dosa are particularly good. Quick and attentive staff and reasonable prices.

Small but nice! Fast service, reasonable prices. Everyone is very friendly. The food tastes delicious!

Great place! A lot of options across South and North Indian food. The food is very authentic and delicious. The service is excellent too. I love their sambar. The thali is very good too - quite a filling meal. Street parking available in front of the restaurant on both sides of the road.

This is a good restaurant when it comes to South Indian cuisine. They have a variety of options including veg and non veg. Furthermore, I was pleased with the customer service as they were able to make me a Paneer dosa even though it was not offered on the menu. The ambience is quite good too offering a pleasant dining experience. Altogether, happy with this experience.

I’ve had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant multiple times and have also ordered food on several occasions. Each experience has been consistently satisfying. The South Indian cuisine is authentic and flavorful, and the pricing is very reasonable. The curry dosa and biryanis are personal favorites—always well-prepared and delicious. If you're looking to enjoy quality South Indian food, I would highly recommend this place.

Great South Indian food and curries. We tried a variety of food - Guntur Chicken, Andhra chicken etc. Prompt service too

Best South Indian Meals and Briyani in the town

Earlier we use to love the food and it was best for its taste but since our last 2-3 visits food taste has drastically degraded and also it's quite expensive now....you have to take care of your flavors else you will lose more customers in future

Best south indian food. Especially crispy Dosa, and also king fish tawa fry

Food is great, staff is nice, good portions, great taste. Dosas are 🤌🤌🤌

I've been here before and it was very tasty. Now it really was the worst thing I have ever eaten at an Indian restaurant. I had a vindaloo. What I have already eaten 100 times in my life. Here.. Nothing fresh and a strange stuff of cream with Kerry herbs. There is no cream in this dish!!!! Then my stomach hurt.

Having traveled to quite a few Indian restaurants outside of India, I would rate this the best and most authentic South Indian food. We were surprised to find such great native food in Amsterdam. Sica, the owner was very friendly and so were the staff. We highly recommend this for anyone who want authentic Indian food.

Our favorite South Indian food joint in Amsterdam. The food is always delicious and there are so many great options. Great for dine in and delivery. Service is fast!

Ordered via Uber Eats. Unfortunately the curry was inedible, it was basically a big tub of oil. And they forgot my naan

I ordered to take home. Everything was so good super tasty and delicious.

Very good menu considering it's a combination of Kerala and Andhra cuisine. The food was exceptionally good.

Food is authentic, especially the starters. Loved it!!

A good indian food eatery...has a srilankan flavour. Nicely located in a residential area. Road parking. Food is above average.

Tasty food. Cozy restaurant. Not expensive. Pleasant view. Not busy on Sunday. Victor Klots

During our one week stay in Amstelveen, My husband and I ate here twice. The place is clean and the service, impeccable. The staff are very kind and efficient and the dishes are plentiful and delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh and had just the right amount of spice for my liking. The prices are also reasonable and they pour a heavy glass of wine. :)

Friendly staff and delicious food! We enjoyed it and we will definitely come back. Good portions, lovely people and everything is freshly made. Delicious and highly recommended.

Quality of the food has been drastically reduced these days. Our Dine-In experience was so good including the quality of the food. Recently with orders through thuisbezorgd, food is not good. some of the meat (mutton coconut fry) was not cooked fully. Kodi Koora was just some curry with chicken breast.

Delicious and authentic South Indian food.

10/10 food. Absolutely fantastic, delivered super quickly (it was nearby). I had the chicken masala and I really licked my fingers. These are not containers that you can eat twice, but I couldn't finish it in one go.

No where close to Kerala food and the kitchen area stinks if you go near the toilet. I am sure they won’t survive if there is any inspection made. Unfriendly staff who can’t even pack left over for you and they charge for containers. I would never go there or order from there again.

Good food and service. Water Leakages did not help with the experience

They are offering delicious south Indian cousins . Absolutely great .

Indians recommended that the taste is very authentic, lamb roganjosh is very delicious, butter chicken is a bit salty

After read a lot of good review comments, we selected this restaurant last week to have lunch with my friend's family and mine. We traveled about 120 km to have our lunch at this restaurant. We had mixed feelings about the food and services. Let me start with the food. We really enjoyed few items namely Era poondu varuval, Paneer sukka, Prawn biriyani that were really tasty. However other items such as prawn chettinad, ceylon parotta and gobi machurian were tasteless and not worth for money. About Service:- Initially a service executive took our order with smiling face. And told us politely that they will stop taking order after 14:30 pm (we didn't know and it was not mentioned anywhere in their web site). However our order was taken. The one star for this person. Then the food was served by another guy. He served the food to us reluctantly which we felt discomfort and disrespect. The way the guy treated us like "Yen-da inge vanthinge". At the end of our lunch, he came and told us that they were going to close the restaurant. And he asked us to leave immediately. This was unexpected and unaccepted. We paid our bill and left the place at once. What we felt was (Mathiyaather vaasal mithikaathe) that we have chosen a wrong hotel. Due this fact, I stopped recommending this place to my local friends because of that guy's disrespect service.

Food was super tasty! Indian combined with Tamil food! Really worth repeating

We were in the extension and it was a bit cold there, but as if there was an invisible wall in the restaurant area, it was wonderfully warm. Good prices, not too expensive and the food was really tasty. I had butter chicken, I think it was a bit on the spicy side but it was good to eat.

Perfect South Indian restaurant

Super nice and welcoming restaurant, the owner very kind. He let us taste a typical dish while we waited for our order. The dishes were delicious, we returned twice during our stay in Amsterdam. Truly highly recommended, very good Dosa but any dish is worth it. When we return to Amsterdam it will definitely be a fixed stop.

Foods are very tasty and at affordable price. Easy to access because it's located in the road side. Very friendly staff. I highly recommend this place.

Really indian kitchen. Amazing !

Authentic taste; really enjoyed the food.

16/09/2024 One single Food plate portion is not enough for a person and now the food quality also decreased maybe they changed the cook... I am not sure... recently couple of days ago we ordered a mutton curry (mumsum koora)recipe and the mutton pieces were horrible it was like very small which should not be.. portion was little only the gravy was huge 😎 maybe it's their marketing strategy to make customers fool... anyway I don't recommend Atchaya Amstelveen anymore..good luck next customers

The food is absolutely fantastic. Some of the best South Indian food I have had outside India!

The food here is really authentic and the taste is amazing. The staff is super helpful, especially the owner, he is so down to earth. I had an amazing time here

Food in Amsterdam is mostly a miss. Went to traditional Dutch, Indonesian, etc. This was the best place went went to for flavor. The chicken in the butter chicken was fantasticly seasoned and cooked before they put it in the sauce. Great place for a meal.

Looooovvvvveeeeeedddd it! Absolutely freshly cooked delicious food. Never have I ever eaten freshly cooked Indian food outside India. Just Fantastic! I give this restaurant 11 out of 10 ratings for taste, food freshness, food quality and service! The drumsticks soup is a must try! True south indian taste! Took me back home with the first bite. Sweet people, good service, fantastic food!

The best South Indian restaurant around Amsterdam n Amsteelveen. Authantic foods egg kothu parota is our family fav. We visited frequently and we are always happy with food, to be mentioned it's Pocket friendly. They do best delivery service too.

Best ever south indian restaurant in nederlands Love the dosa and saber recomend

Very tasty and authentic taste😍😋

Great atmosphere friendly service and tasty yummy food!!! We ordered chicken Biriyani 10/10,mutton rogan Josh 10/10 and idly 10/10 and filter coffee 10/10

Tasty food. You have to wait a long time to pick up.

Been to Atchaya twice. Interesting that the typical South Indian drumstick sambar, eaten in south India with rice, dosai and idli and vadai, appears on the menu as soup. I would greatly recommend the Rasam, samosa, okra fry and the dosa and idli. We had a very tasty but spicy ( as spicy as in Madurai and Chennai) mix called Thali. Will definitely go again!

Teribble service the people at reception are rude and misbehaved. The food was very inadequate in taste aswell

Very authentic South Indian food.

I always like the food here .. yes quantity is little less for two people bt the taste is amazing

Had a visit last Sunday for dinner. Food was ok but one of the staff member was very rude. Cutlery was not washed properly when I have shown the same and asked for replacement he had a very rude behavior.

Very very worst hotel ever seen before. We are went that atchaya hotel last Sunday. We ordered egg briyani and fish fry. after 20min they are bring.we feel very hungry that time .we started to eat briyani my daughter suddenly say mummy briyani bring from fridge.i m shocked I check it seems some rice are frozen and chill .still frozen rice not good . I called that owner( 2 owners are there I thought.) one owner is came and he said "we make briyani In lot of process we shouldn't do this means briyani got some fungus." And we ask briyani is freshly make and give to customer is good but that owner say is very different to us.he didn't accept that mistakes. And fish fry also not good .smells raw.and lot of food color in the fish.we called again and tell he said rudely fish is good not bad. Very cheep behaviour. Only money minded.Finally we decided we will not go that hotel never ever . So guys don't go that hotel they are not making briyani freshly. They can make briyani one days or 2 days before and keep in fridge And who one is order they take from fridge and heat pan and give to you. Pls don't go hotel don't spoil your health. We couldn't take photos that time we are tensed on that day.

We ordered egg biryani, but we were served non veg biryani with egg. We found pieces of chicken in it. I am a vegetarian and have eggs sometimes but not meat. When we reported, the restaurant people were not at all apologetic about it. They said they do this when someone asks for egg biryani. This is so wrong and unprofessional. I will not go to this restaurant again!

Fresh and authentic south Indian food ..Very polite customer service... strongly recommended..

Tasty South Indian food especially Kerala Food and no this is not Achayan from Malayalam

Initially, the food quality was very good, but now I can feel the quality has been declining a bit. Last week, we visited and found the oil quality was bad for fried items. However, I will still give good feedback on the taste of the food.

Atchaya’s signature dish Mutton sukkha lost it’s flavor. Paratha was so hard that it was difficult to chew .

It's my favorite resturant, just amazing my favorite starter is curried fried chicken wings [Must Try] and Idli, they are so fresh, soft and tasty. Masala roast ghee Dosa...Every food is amazing especially south Indian foods😋😋 Just Amazing all foods they serve are tasty and mouthwatering 😋😋😋😋

We were in search of a ok+ restaurant for a quick meal before a concert, and we discovered this Indian restaurant. I ordered the chicken tikka masala, mango lassi, and garlic naan bread—all of which were perfect. Highly recommended 🤗

I used to be a regular customer, but things have changed the last two times. Biryani is not fresh and arm and boiled eggs in the biryani just out from the fridge. Dosa is Ok. I felt the food was not fresh both times, just out from the fridge.

Good restaurant, Basic interiors but amazing food. Whenever I go to south Indian restaurant... Filter Coffee toh banta hai... It was really good. We had Dal Vada -bit oily but crispy and good taste. Sada Dosa was soft and good, I liked it. Chutney and Sambhar served along with it were also tasty. Sambhar was not warm enough. Veg Kothu Paratha - Spicy and Tasty. Bread Halwa - okayish... Looked like aate ka Halwa but taste was not great Not so heavy on the pockets.Friendly staff. Would definitely comeback to tryout other dishes.

I went to this place on a friday at 6pm. There was no customer in the restaurant. The guy directed me to seat at the particular table. I wasnt comfortable seating there & requested to sit at the table which is close to the street, so that I can atleast enjoy the street snd not feel that I am all alone. But the waiter said that its the only place where I have to sit. They have no one at the restaurant, still you are forcing the one who came to your place to do what u want rather than caring about the customer. Horrible. I didnt try the food as I have the enough of the attitude! Rude

Yesterday we ordered Chicken 65, mutton gravy and parota. I don't know how can they deliver such a stale mutton ...very poor quality of food . specifically I asked , do you prepare fresh ? They said, yes. Chicken 65 - for sure it's a week stored chicken. Highly don't recommend this restaurant

Very good authentic food. There is a bit of waiting time for serving but worth it

Having tried most of the Indian restaurants around Amstelveen, have found Atchaya to better in terms of variety, taste and quality.

Best price with great taste. Only thing i can is to bit improve naan quality. Rest like staff, service and food is awesome

Drove all the way (about an hour) to do a pick up, came back home to realise that ordered food items were not there. When called back the response was , sorry it was busy and we will revert back the money back for the missing item/s. Request you all to check once (if all the ordered food items are there) before leaving the restaurant.
