Golden Thali in Stadionbuurt

One of the best indian restaurant in the Netherlands Try the madras lamb with garlic bread

+ The food was very good, I'll definitely be back. - There are a lot of tables in this space. One or two fewer tables and it would be a 5-star. 08-02-2025 I ate here for the second time and it was great again.

Good service and delicious food. Good service by Dola.

The many extremely positive reviews lead us here. Unfortunately, my companions and I can't share them. Quite the opposite: The entire dining room is very cramped, noticeably dirty, and loud. Long waits, dishes falling to the floor. Drinks that don't arrive. Tables mixed up. Finally, the large order, with high praise from the gesturing waiter. We start with three chutneys. The coriander chutney is the most promising, but it tastes of stale garlic. The other two with mayo are complete failures. Along with fried bread, poori, and more ballast. We would have preferred to give up. Then come samozas, which also taste of stale fat, and minced meat and eggplant rolls that are only hot on one side, the other ice cold. The main course: Tandoori mix for two – with chicken, bone dry. A lampchop, yes, one for two! It's almost entirely made of fat anyway. And a single shrimp. And one of those minced meat and eggplant rolls. The lentil dal is bland. It lacks typical spices. Its consistency is strangely slimy. The shrimp curry is the best. The pannak paneer is so-so. The whole freshness is extremely questionable. I wish I had stayed home! Oh yes, and let's also mention the insistent questioning of the broadly grinning waiter with two thumbs up. Everything OK? A simple nod and a friendly smile from the sympathetic young lady addressed, who is currently busy with her smartphone, isn't enough here. Excuse me, Miss, everything good? Then there's the blatant request to write a nice review. Well, we can help here.

Delicious food! And friendly staff!

We have been kindly greeted and attended by Devika, who made sure we had a pleasant dinner. The place is quite nice and the food is just great! Get the lamb, It’s delicious. Only one little thing as a constructive criticism, it would be nice to have some music playing to set the mood. Just that.

Loved the food and the service! Thank you Devika 🙌 Keep it up!

The food was amazing and the waitress was very kind and helpful. However, the owner started to sit right next to us while there were many other tables available preventing us from having a private conversation. At the end of the dinner we requested for the bill and the owner pointed towards the inside of the restaurant instead of getting the bill to the table. Overall we would still recommend the restaurant based on the food, but if you are looking for good customer experience we recommend going some place else

If you visit, be sure to inform the staff to get you food with your tolerance of spice levels. I didn’t and ended up with “Amsterdam ready” Indian food and it was pretty bland. The paneer was surprisingly soft though for anything outside of India. The naan was good.

Good curry, we were not in a hurry and the service was not either, but otherwise it was fine.

Nice staff and very good food with vegetarian and gluten free options ❤️

Extremely fresh food, everything was delicious and the service was great ! Highly recommend!

They prepared the wrong food (2 out of 6 items) and 3 out of 4 that ate the food had a stomach ache afterwards. We cannot recommend ordering or eating there.

The food is proper Indian goodness.

The chicken buster is the best ever

Horrible service!! Literally the worst

Great food! Owner was so nice! We tried butter chicken, paneer chili, chicken jhalfrezi, samosa and garlic naan. ALL SUPER GOOD! Definitely recommend coming here!

Delicious food. Veg momo, chicken tikka massala and eggplant stew very tasty. Also the Kheer as dessert is super tasty.

Had lovely cheese and garlic naans, and the butter chicken was bomb! He even gave us a tea on the house afterwards! Great service, I'd come here again :)

Delicious food and very nice staff! Would recommend to anyone

Unfortunately, this is a very bad entrepreneur who does not keep his agreements. Serving good food but not paying his suppliers. Perhaps the gentleman is responding to this post because he does not respond to phone calls and letters.

Good food and great service. Worth a visit when you are in Amsterdam.

Very delicious! Everything was rich and flavorful. Staff were very nice and accommodating!

Such beautiful service, warm and welcoming - simply beautiful food! Portion sizes were great as well, I highly recommend. Definitely returning!

The food was really tasty and the portions were generous too. Excellent service as well, thank you :)

Warm hospitality and unforgenttable food -every bite felt like home. The butter chicken and saag panner is must try!

Best Indian I've had in Europe, worth the stop

I went to Golden Thali with my wife to get some tasty Indian food. I had seen very positive reviews about the restaurant and it did not let us down. The chicken biryani was excellent and so was the naan and kebabs. Service was friendly and attentive and we will definitely come again when we visit Amsterdam next.

Super tasty food and great service! Recommended.

Location is magnificent, has a terrace too, is family owned and has warm service. Food wise quality and signature dishes mastered. Lamb curry and butter chicken top. The tandoori grilling of the meats is quite good and tasty. And the naan for me is one of the best ones I've had; especially the garlic one. Gem of Amsterdam Zuid.

Nice ambience and tasty food... 5 star!

We had a wonderful dinner at Golden Thali in Amsterdam! From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming ambiance set the tone for a great evening. The food was absolutely delicious — full of rich, authentic Indian flavors. We especially loved the Chicken Jalfrezi, Tandoori mix naan & Paneer mattar masala. We have visited Golden Thali many times and tries almost all the dishes all are really very tasty and best thing is that they make according to your taste, Food quality & Quantity is also good. The service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made sure we felt well taken care of throughout our meal. It’s clear they care about both the quality of their food and the experience of their guests. Highly recommend Golden Thali to anyone looking for flavorful Indian cuisine in Amsterdam. We'll definitely be back!

Very nice food, and a Kulfi to die for!

Perfect food, as if I’m back in India again! Definitely coming back soon!

We ordered paneer chilli and momos for starters, and paneer lababdar with garlic naan for main dish. The main dish was good but the paneer chilli was mediocre. The place itself was cosy and the service was good.

Amazing food ! The royal chicken momo ( dumplings ) were delicious! Also ordered the butter chicken and was a great! The service can improve (delay on getting the check, drinks)

Delicious food in cozy atmosphere. Wonderful service.

Absolutely delicious food, super service.

Very good and friendly restaurant in a quiet location. Price-performance ratio is perfectly fine. The service tries unobtrusively to fulfill your wishes. Also very good vegetarian and vegan dishes.

We tried two dishes and both were delicious: the lamp chops tandoori and the butter chicken with garlic naan. The service is extremely kind. Highly recommended if you are in Amsterdam Zuid!

Customer friendly Delicious food!

I ordered food but some of it was missing. When I called, there was a discussion: I should come by myself or contact Thuisbezorgd. Due to their mistake, I had to make extra efforts and wait hours for the delivery, while the delivery person was also very rude.

Probably the best Indian restaurant we have ever had. Totally recomended, the food esa delicious. If we come again to Amsterdam, we will come back for sure.

Very tasty food and a cozy atmosphere. It's also nice that there is Nepali food. Momos are delicious!

Nice meal. Large portions good price

Loved this restaurant. Very good service and the food is amazing!

Food was tasty. Only a bowl of rice for 4 people. At the beginning there was a few dried bread on the table and again not enough. 3 for 4 people. Quite stingy

The food was perfect and so delicious we really enjoyed our dinner and the service was fast the staff was friendly and helpful her name is pratima she is very help ful .

Only place where we could order on New Year's Eve. You may not expect the very best, but this tent has broken through everything. What a wonderfully sweet man on the phone. He helped come up with a top menu and it was fantastic. One of the best butter chickens I've ever eaten. It was really phenomenal, my review cannot describe how happy I am with this tent. Happy new year, and I can highly recommend this to everyone.

Intimate and welcoming restaurant. Very kind staff. Exquisite food.

We had our New Year’s dinner at the Golden Thali and everything was superb! From service to food, just exceptional! Highly recommended!!

We went here for dinner and as a vegetarian who adores indian kitchen I was very excited about food here after reading the reviews. Unfortunately, our expectations were not met. The server warned us that the Lamb Vindaloo would be very spicy, but you could barely feel any spices in it. The Royal Vegetarian Thali only looked good, but it was all very tasteless. I had plenty of indian food all around the world and this one unfortunately takes the last place. The raita was very sweet, the garlic naan barely had any garlic, the cheese naan felt dry and the lentils had no flavor… and the service was quite slow indeed, as others mentioned in their reviews (would’ve been fine if the food were any good). Very sorry to leave this review but it truly wasn’t worth more than 2 stars, I hope they make some changes in the future!

Really tasty food and perfect service

Very friendly service and delicious food!

We had the Jhol momo with a mango lassi. Both highly recommended! Staff was very humble and friendly. I will definitely come back :)

Had amazing dinner here! Staff is super caring and sweet💖

Lamb curry was tasty, and mix vegetables curry was the best veggie curry I ever had ♡ And the service was very good. Nice food nice people

Had vegetarian Thali. Well cooked, generous portions and excellent service. Recommended.

08-12-2024 The food was good! Service ok, Sweet people/ please take maybe English lessons? The bird music is a meh for me for 2 hours must be hard for staff, i would go for some top indian 1000 (just background)

Was yesterday at the Golden Thali restaurant the food is very good the dishes always getting optimized the glazed onions on my paneer were great . The people are so friendli what want you to expect more 🙂 Its always a nice atmosphere and you feel welcome Golden Thali Is always on my list when I am in Amsterdam Extraordinary food thank you

Amazing experience, super delicious food

Great lamb vindaloo and mango lassi

Really great service and delicious food!!

quite fine. butterfly prawns and chicken tikka as a starter were a bit dry, but tasty. The lighting flashes so occasionally it became a bit darker and a bit brighter, which was annoying. there was no music or it was too soft to hear so it lacked some atmosphere. the main course chicken tikka massala was tasty but not very special, the same goes for the garlic naan. the lamb curry was very tender and delicious. good service too

Everything was so good & very good size portions. Simply delicious, must visit!!

Good Authentic food in Town , will definitely come back again.

Very authentic, honest place. A little gem I would say. Glad I discovered this place by accident. The food is great, the people are very sweet and gentle. A little oasis.

Very amazing food with the best ambiance and service. Very nice staff as well very sweet

food excellent, came fast after ordering; service very good, atmosphere fine

The best dal in Amsterdam! And you need to try the cheese naan.

Good atmosphere, but too busy with various groups

The food was okay, but I must say the service is extremely poor. The service guy was bit rude and had to wait 3 hrs to get food done here.

Great Indian food traditionally made. Attentive service team and fast. What do you want more? Have all the traditional dishes. I went for Lamb Saag and garlic naan. Delicious.

A classic. Lovely people great food great prices

We ordered home delivery. Everything arrived in abundance and very tidy. It was very tasty.

Delicious food and great service. Very kind people and the momos, tandoori chicken and chicken jhalfreezi were amazing. Also had the best indian masala chai!

Ordered and it was okay Meat is of good quality but tikka masala was a bit bland

Fantastic food, friendly staff! Recommend

Amazing food! Just the right balance of spices in the food, you get the good indian/nepalese flavors without overpowering it.The tandoori dishes are great, nice naans, very tasy desserts, and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Amazing food, very authentic. Highly recommended. Amicable staff, and we made request for a parantha for my 2yr old kid, they paid special attention to what we required. Will come again

This guy had a great attitude, then he said I looked like a racist politician…. Anyway food slapped x

It's was superb .lamb korma and lassi is lekker

We ate a delicious meal here with terrific service, the mixed tandoori grill and Nepalese dumplings were very tasty with absolutely great naan bread.

We ordered Jhol Momo and vegetarian thali. Though the food took a little time to come, the food was fresh and well made. Our hostess was very attentive and kind.

Food was so-so, but service was terrible. They took over an hour to bring the food (even though we went mid-week, not a particularly crowded day), and forgot some part of the order. The ambience was nothing special. Narrow space and tables were placed so close to each other that you could not get in and out of your chair without disturbing guests at neighboring tables. The place was echoing with the voices of all customers thanks to bare walls and bad acoustics. Got a headache by the time we left.

Best Indian restaurant in Amsterdam so far. The service was excellent and we were asked about our preferences in terms of spices. There is a nice terrace to enjoy your meal outside. Highly recommend !

Amazing food, great experience! I must say their naans were great, especially the Cheese and Garlic naans. Would definitely recommend them for curry and other Indian delicacies.

Delicious food, perfect service.

Very nice staff, food was good.

Wow! One of the best Indian Restaurants in my life. Authentic and very fresh taste. I ate the whole plate - happens once a year with me 😀 Thanks also for friendly and attentive Service ❤️

Best Indian restaurant in Amsterdam! Good quality ingredients, thee best lamb vindaloo I’ve ever had - freshly prepared too! The naan was really good. It’s an owner- run business, friendly service, in a good location just 2min from a tram station, in the upmarket Oud-Zuid neighbourhood.

Good Indian food. Small family restaurant. A little outside the center but definitely worth the journey. Price performance is exceptionally good.

The foods were really delicious and also their staffs were really good. I enjoyed the time while eating.

Food was as expected, however there is room for improvement in terms of service quality. There is no sense of timing and connection with guests. Food was tasty, Atmosphere and ambience could be better

Butter chicken and cheese naan were delicious! During our weekly stay in Amsterdam we will make sure to come here again. Service was excellent as well 💘

Delicious food, nice people, nice to have a place around the corner

Delicious food, nice lamp chip tandoori and decent butter chicken, nan could be better, but I wouldn’t complain with the price, booked via Fork, the service was quite friendly as well.

Delicious food. In addition, very good and friendly service. Absolutely great!

Fantastic food and very lovely employees. Mixgrill Tandoori is the Best in all of Amsterdam

Best indian food in Amsterdam. Nice staff and owner, good service
