Visited for lunch with my wife and son - the restaurant was not very busy (since we visited around 2:30 PM) but overall, great food and good service. We ordered Veg and Non-veg momos plus vegetarian chowmein. Great taste - good service and the owner was very polite to speak with.

I have ordered many times from Diwali Palace on the Amsterdamseweg, and while it is a reliable spot, some dishes stand out more than others. This time I ordered the Chicken Biryani; it is certainly not bad, but it is definitely not their strongest suite. If you are looking for recommendations, I would advise trying their curry dishes instead, as those are consistently much better. Another major plus for this restaurant is the delivery staff. The delivery people are genuinely kind and courteous, which is a refreshing change, as pleasant service is unfortunately not always the case with staff from Indian restaurants in the area. Overall, it remains a decent option, especially if you stick to the curries.

Visited with a large group after work; tables neatly set, service by one polite lady until the main course, then joined by a young man presumably from the kitchen. Slight chaos due to all the different dishes; once on the table, it all looked the same: small bowls with a red mush containing chicken or meat served with rice. The appetizers were the tastiest.

Just ordered a food delivery (directly via the website). It's been a while as we've been trying all the other Indian eateries in the area but have eventually landed on this place as our favourite. Tandoori Chick(medium) - fanstastic Tikka Masala Chick (medium) - fantastic Lamb Rogan Josh (medium) - fantastic. The extras: Poppadoms- crispy and arrived in one piece and comes with a tasty mint dip 👍 Plain Naan Garlic Naan The only dish we didn't enjoy so much was the tarka daal. Flavour is good but it's more like a soup than a daal (too much liquid). Overall an excellent meal and we'll be ordering again. Delivery was exactly on time!

Great place to enjoy Indian cuisine! Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The butter chicken, while a bit sweeter than I expected, was still very flavorful. I’m not sure if that level of sweetness is traditional, as I’ve never had it like that before. But anyway, we enjoyed every dish and didn’t leave a single grain of rice behind.

I recently visited this Indian restaurant, and unfortunately, my experience was far from positive. I ended up here only because it was late at night and all the other nearby restaurants were closed. If I’d had any other option, I definitely would have chosen differently. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming. The waiter seemed uninterested and almost annoyed by my presence. There was no greeting, no smile, and I felt like I was inconveniencing him just by being there. This set a negative tone for the entire meal. I ordered the chicken tikka masala, hoping for a comforting and flavorful dish. As someone of Indian background, I have high expectations for this classic, and sadly, it missed the mark by a wide margin. The curry was overwhelmingly spicy, but not in a balanced or enjoyable way—it was just heat, with none of the rich, complex flavors that define good Indian food. The sauce lacked depth, and there was no hint of the aromatic spices or creamy texture I was hoping for. It honestly felt like the dish was made without any real care or understanding of Indian cuisine. As an Indian, I have to reject that dish entirely; it simply did not represent the food I know and love. Overall, the food was mediocre at best, the service was uninviting, and the entire experience left me disappointed. I would not recommend this restaurant, and I certainly would not return unless it was my absolute last option. There are far better places to enjoy authentic Indian food.

We ordered several dishes for delivery. The delivery time would be a maximum of one hour, but after 70 minutes I called myself, first not reachable, then pushed away, called a third time and got the answer that the delivery person was on his way. Indeed, delivered about 7 minutes later, after unpacking it also turns out that the cheesenaan is missing. Incidentally, this was still delivered after about 15 minutes. This is the umpteenth time that something is missing. It is not due to the quality because the dishes are delicious. But why does it have to take an hour to prepare this, hopefully it does not take that much in the restaurant either and not everything is taken care of at once, very unfortunate. We get an e-mail for a review by themselves, filled in but can't save it and can't sent it to them.

Update in 2024, 4 star: Actually took many times takeaway from this restaurant in the past years. Food is great, experience is good, therefore changed to review to 4 start. Original review a few years ago, 1 star: Had dinner with a friend over here. After we asked for the bill, it took 30 mins before we could pay because of pin-machine issue. The waiter didn't explain anything to us until we asked after waiting for 15 mins. We could understand if there was an issue, but at least tell us that and maybe try to offer alternatives or compensation. In the end nothing was offered, no apologies, no compensations. For this poor communication and service, I would give it one star. Would NOT go back to this place.

Had dinner tonight for Diwali The food was very tasty (tikka masala-mild), upon inquiry it turned out that it could also be very mild. Portions were a bit too big for us... We had not taken any starters and still had food left over (average age also 70 so that also counts) I immediately thought that the option of eating 25% less for a 15% cost reduction is a profit plus a chance of a starter or side dish/dessert. More turnover with smaller portions The service was very friendly with clear explanations They could have earned an extra round of drinks from us if they had come by extra times, but it was just as busy and we drink soft drinks/water so no jackpot either. Atmosphere in the restaurant was fine (beautiful orchids too) Healthy food! What makes the body happy (Rice was also really great and beautiful)
