Namche in De Weteringschans

menu had enough options for everyone.

Had an amazing experience. Tried some authentic Nepalese snacks like momo and sekuwa, and enjoyed a delicious Nepalese thali for dinner. Everything was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was warm and attentive too. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend, the food was so delicious and atmosphere very cozy.

Amazing food and very friendly!

This was a hidden gem! We are here from the USA and the atmosphere was quaint and cozy. The staff were friendly and helpful. And the food was the icing on the cake. We ordered a little bit of everything and enjoyed every single bite! My children (10 and 6 y/o) ate every bite and we all left happy and full! If we lived here this would be one of our local favorites! Kudos to a great spot!

We stopped here by chance during our visit, it's one of the best Indian/Nepalese restaurants I've ever tasted! It's a bit small but it's well decorated and the staff is very pleasant. Thank you

We had a dinner gift card and thought, "Let's try this place." Oh man - what a fantastic evening we had! Super delicious food, even a little sunshine on the small terrace out front, and very sweet and attentive people! The saag in the paneer was super soft with a slightly firmer exterior - the mildness of the sauce was just right. And the momos 😍🤤 and the naan! As far as I'm concerned, I'll go again tomorrow 😂 but seriously: it was a great choice to eat here. Don't hesitate anymore - stop reading reviews. Just do it! 😃 P.S. - if you look at the price: we went all out 😅 so it can be done for a bit less.

The dishes were very tasty. We were truly surprised by the flavor of the dumplings. The meats were well-seasoned, and the portion sizes were just right.

In search of South Asian flavours in Amsterdam, we found this restaurant highly reviewed on Google. The reviews don’t lie. The food felt unique, fresh, heartwarming and delicious! Being an Indian, sometimes our food can feel heavy but not this. I had the Dal Bhaat thali which I highly recommend. The veggies were so fresh! Just what I needed after eating lots of bread all over. The Nepalese flavours were also present in the dal, chutneys and curries. Staff were warm and friendly! All in all a great experience!

Small place, difficult getting a table here. Would suggest making a reservation. They do have a small bar to sit at if you're one or two people and one table outside. Staff was friendly. Menu had many options. Loved all the drink options (alcoholic and non). The dumplings were great. The creme brulee was not my favorite. More of a liquid cottage cheese texture and the caramelized top was so thick it was very hard to break through. Pineapple ginger lassie was divine. Decor was cute and would recommend if you're in the area.

I love this place, They have great staff that take the time to recommend you dishes and cocktails based on your tastes. Cocktails are excellent btw ! Loved trying new dishes from cultures I wasn’t familiar with, they were all very flavorful. That made me curious to explore more this type of cuisine, but after exploring for a while, I decided Namche was my fave 😂 The only thing is the place is a bit noisy, especially in the back room when the big table is filled with a group. But hey, I came there twice (each time to try completely different foods and bring more friends along!) and would come again :)

Just wow!! So glad we found this place. Incredible array of foods - we tried the butter chicken, peshwari naan, onion bhajis and the homemade peach iced tea. All were absolutely fantastic. Not bad prices and good service too. Would definitely return!

Bit pricey, i don't really like how the food served but it is okay

The food there was very tasty, and the atmosphere was pleasant. The place was relatively busy, so we had to wait a bit longer for service, but it wasn't incredibly long. The Nepalese specialties were somewhat small in portions. Even vegetarians could eat there.

The food was incredibly delicious. It was completely packed. We were lucky to arrive early, so we were able to get a seat even without a reservation. Truly authentic, in my opinion.

One of the best in Amsterdam. My recommendation - Namche Dal bhat Thali

Quite nice! Having tasted three startes and two main courses overall experience of food was great. Everything was tasty and well-presented. Menu was rich, consistent with many vegeterian and non-vegetarian options. All of the waiters was kind and polite. The atmosphere was cozy and the place was nicely decorated. Yet, it was a bit noisy. It was a great option to consider in Amsterdam for Indian and Nepalese cuisine. We will be visiting again!

Wonderful lunch, tasty momos and delicious chicken tikka - not too spicy. Staff were friendly and very attentive.

Unbelievably good- my friends and I stopped here on our first night in Amsterdam and it was the perfect welcome to the city. And Santos is AMAZING.

I’m not even kidding, this is the best Indian food I’ve ever had. I had the butter chicken and I didn’t say a word until every bit of it was finished. Santos was our server and he was very friendly. If it wasn’t for my currently full stomach, I’d come back in an hour.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. NAMCHE Amsterdam absolutely blew me away—the butter chicken here is hands down the best I’ve ever had in my life. Rich, creamy, perfectly spiced, and so flavorful that I’m still thinking about it days later. Honestly, if you come to Amsterdam and don’t eat here, you’re making a huge mistake. But what truly made the night unforgettable was Santos, our server. I don’t usually single people out in reviews, but Santos deserves a raise, a promotion, and probably a medal. His warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care turned a great meal into an experience I’ll never forget. From anticipating our needs before we even asked, to making us feel like honored guests rather than just customers, he set the gold standard for hospitality. NAMCHE isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a place where food and service come together in the best possible way. Thank you Santos for making our evening so special. I’ll be recommending this place (and your butter chicken) to everyone I know.

Super delicious food, friendly service, cozy location. Highly recommended.

Came here due to seeing Mooncake's review of it. I have to say.. it's just Indian food. Samosa were overcooked, pan fried dumplings in sesame sauce were nice, mixed grill was so/so. Restaurant is very narrow. Hard to pass by seeing the staff is often serving their tables. The 'popular movie classical' music was set too loud. And the acoustics of the place are not good.. hard to speak to your dinner guest. Gave it a shot, will not return.

We stumbled upon this excellent Nepalese restaurant while on a visit to Amsterdam. The staff was really responsive to allergy concerns which made us feel at ease. The food was excellent as were the cocktails.

Nice staff and food. Thank you for giving me a free cup of water and candies 😀 The food was great. I think the lighting near the bar table can be less blue cause it makes food look dull in pictures, but it's my personal preference, so I have no authority to force the change. Also, the music that was playing in the restaurant can be quieter.

Quiet spot at the end of a busy street. Good drinks selection. Try the fried Nepalese dumplings and pani puri.

Super delicious! It might be a bit pricey, but it's worth it!

Great little Nepalese restaurant. The dishes are delicious and cooked with fresh produce. The team is very friendly. They adapted the spice level to suit my tastes. The crème brûlée is delicious. A taste of the Himalayas!

Everything was truly delicious. Helpful staff, varied menu, and generous portions. A quaint little street, but just outside the hustle and bustle. We loved everything!

The king prawn pakoras were a highlight!

Great service, prices and food.

At first, we thought it tasted good. But my partner got sick from the butter chicken later that evening. We also thought it was a bit expensive for how much food you get as well.

Amazing Nepalese restaurant. Booked a reservations online and added a note that it was a dinner date with a request for a quiet setting. They were so helpful and help made the date go very well. All the people that work there was very kind. The food was exceptional. The service was amazing. And to top it off, they gave us a free dessert as a gift for the date. Will surely go back and recommend this place!

Excellent Indian restaurant. We enjoyed every dish. Our best meal in Amsterdam so far!

Excellent quality. Wonderful service. Very well organized for Amsterdam. Central location. Portions could be larger. Overall, a very positive experience, and I think I'll be back.

We had a very tasty meal in a very touristy environment.

Authentic atmosphere, hearty and delicious dishes, super friendly staff, what more could you ask for? We highly recommend it!

Lovely Nepalese restaurant with personable service (thank you, Santos!) and incredible dumplings. We had the fried and steamed momo that contained great flavor — leaving us full and happy.

Very nice place to go for dinner. The food is good and the waiters are nice. We tried the recommended dishes and they were really good. We had a table close to the door which was a bit cold at the end of the evening. It was no problem to close the door. The wine is good. I would recommend to make a reservation, because this place can be quite crowded. One small note, the music is a bit too loud. Although we really liked the type of music, a bit more silent would be better for the experience.

Great food, nice ambiance, would really recommend!

A decent restaurant in a heart of Amsterdam and freshness of food crave you for more more....

Absolutely loved the experience! The noodles were perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the dessert was just divine, and the music playlist set such a great vibe. The staff were super friendly and made us feel so welcome. Can’t wait to come back!”

Gorgeous food with very helpful and kind staff. Staff are so good with kids, which was very much appreciated. Food was top class, momos were the star for me! Small playground right beside the restaurant which helped the kids with up an appetite.

Excellent! Looking for a place to celebrate our son’s birthday, he selected Namcha. I was suspicious. The location, in the heart of the city, usually screams tourist trap. The opposite was true! Instead, I found one of my new favorite Indian restaurants in Amsterdam. The place is cozy and very busy. The staff is very friendly and happy to help you decide on what to eat. After some consideration we finally decided what to eat. The food arrived and wow, it was delicious. The food isn’t cheap but then again, you’re in Amsterdam. I know I’ll be back for sure.

We had a delicious meal. We received good explanations about the dishes and were also helped to make the best choices. Fantastic!

Delicious food, very friendly staff. Great NPA beer. Reservations are a must. The atmosphere is very casual.

Food was fine, but not worth the price. The service was not good and the bartender was quite rude. I'm not sure what his problem was, but he was obviously very annoyed that we didn't have a reservation. Maybe you should take the sign down in the window that welcomes walk-ins if it is a problem for you.

A decent restaurant in heart of Amsterdam. We didn't really like the food especially Momos and pani puri. Maybe this is because of our indian taste buds which have different sense of taste altogether when it comes to Momos. The staff was friendly and they have decent seating indoors and limited outdoors..

We discovered this charming restaurant through its reviews and were not disappointed. A cozy place with delicious, high-quality food and generous portions. The staff was very attentive and pleasant; despite being full and not having a reservation, they did everything possible to accommodate us for dinner. We will definitely repeat the experience.

Very clean restaurant, very welcoming. Satisfied with the quality of the food. I recommend it.

The food was great. Especially good was the Namche Dal Bhat. Santos, our waiter was really one of a kind. He was extremely nice and made my family and I feel very special. I would highly recommend this restaurant

Some of the best Indian food I've had in a long time! Santos was a friendly server who seated our group of 5 right away, despite not having a reservation. The bartender was also attentive towards us and asked if we liked our cocktails or if we wanted them to be modified (which we didn't, because they were delicious!). I ordered sambosas and pan fried dumplings for a starter. Most other places, these dishes are greasy, but that is not the case here! They were flavorful and it's a must to soak up the sauce with a side of naan. I also ordered the chicken tikka masala which, again, full of flavor and spice that was to die for! 10/10 I would recommend to anyone looking for a delicious, filling meal.

Stop your search, this is THE BEST restaurant in Amsterdam 😍 After moving to Amsterdam, we tried quite few restaurants in the city, and all of them left us either unimpressed or just straight disappointed. Just when we were about to give up, we stumbled upon a cute Nepalese restaurant tucked away from all the buzz of the Leidseplein Square. We came inside and had the best experience! The ambiance was so cozy and romantic! Our server Santosh was AMAZING! He went above and beyond to make sure our food comes out just the way we will enjoy it! He was also very attentive and mindful of my husband’s dietary restrictions. But the best of all was their FOOD. Oh my goodnesss… The chana masala was bursting with deep complex flavors! The steamed momos with chicken were absolutely delicious. And their garlic naan and papadum were just perfect. When they bring you a check, they make sure to include a yummy chocolate praline or a mint, which was such a nice touch! These small things just show you how much they care about their customers. We will be back and we will recommend all of our friends to check this place out!

Amazing food and service. Desi food done right. Place was busy, recommended to have reservation before.

Very tasty and good service, waited a while between starter and main however worth the wait

While visiting amsterdam I visited Namchey Amsterdam every time I craved for Nepali Indian food. Not only they have authentic Nepali Indian taste of the food, the staff do also have Nepali authentic hospitality.

We had reserved a table online. The sauces for our three appetizers and the main courses were heavily spiced with cumin. The chef hadn't removed the cardamom, so I had several cardamom seeds in my rice dish. The service was friendly, but they asked if the table could be cleared shortly after you'd finished your last bite. Overall, the food was more like a snack bar, and the portions were rather small.

We were here for a Junggesellenabschied an i think its beautifull. Very friendly personal and delicious food. 5/5👍🏼

Best neapelese food I ever had! Absolutely friendly and good Service! I will be back soon! Thank you ☺️

What a discovery on Lange Leidsedwarsstraat! I was immediately impressed by the authentic Nepalese and North Indian cuisine at Namche Amsterdam. The momos as a starter were particularly refined – deliciously filled and served with a spicy sauce that was just right.

We were in Amsterdam for 3 days, and we had dinner at this place for two days , that's how much we loved it. Had the momos in sesame sauce, chowmien, pani puri. Everything was top notch. definitely recommended to visit

Today we had lovely food. Te service was hospital and excellent. We recommend this restaurant

We had a great time! The service was excellent and the food was delicious. However, the Indian dish could have used a bit more spice to bring out the authentic flavor.

We had a wonderful evening at Namche and a truly delicious meal. There were four of us, and we had a wide variety of dishes. Everything was fresh and flavorful, as was the specialty Nepalese IPA beer. All the staff were incredibly hospitable and stopped by to ask if everything was to our liking. We'll definitely be back to Namche because we had a wonderful time! What a wonderful discovery.

I regret not taking a picture of this place. Cozy spot with amazing food. The staff is super friendly and open to conversation.

Food was unforgettable, I would absolutely recommend this to everyone who likes Indian food

This was my first time eating at an Indian/Nepalese restaurant, and I was delighted with the taste and quality of the food. To start off, we had the pani puri, which was classic and a good appetizer. Then, we tried their steamed buffalo momos, which looked a lot like Chinese xiaolongbaos. The meat filling was tender and soft and the dough was chewy, pairing super well with the sauces! As for mains, the tandoori shrimp was amazing and extremely flavourful. The amount of shrimp was also plenty for 3 people. I really enjoyed the taste of the chicken tikka masala as well; it was a little spicy and tangy, and the chicken was tender. Finally, it was a good decision to add garlic butter naan as a side, as it went very well with the curries. Bonus points to the lentil curry that they paired with the tikka masala, it was one of my favourites. My only complaint would be that I wish the mango lassi was colder, as it would’ve made it easier to drink since it was very thick. Otherwise, I had a wonderful meal here and I loved the experience of trying new dishes.

We really enjoyed the food there it was amazing. The service was friendly and charming, and I would be happy go back again and again. The butter masala was excellent.

Excellent!!! We really liked the dishes. They had the Dutch cocktail Martiniforenstar which is beautiful and cool. Fun atmosphere, warm and delicious restaurant. Worth it.

Wow just wow! Read reviews before booking a table. We were not disappointed. The food was amazing. Service with a smile and very good value. You must visit if you get the opportunity. Loved it.

Chicken tikka is chicken thigh, not chicken fillet. Not very spicy. Naan bread top quality. Unfortunately all three got sick after eating. Diarrhea and stomach ache.

Very good food, extremely attentive service. Highly recommended!

Proper Nepali food, beautiful calm setting on the terrace, and big shootout to the Nepali bros staff who brought along their especially welcoming and friendly culture.

Absolutely amazing food. Went 2 times in 3 days!

Great food, even better drinks. I had a Nepal Pale Ale and Khukri Spicy and Sour with Paneer Chilli and some momo, everything was deliciously served by the friendly staff!

I was craving for dal baht and decided to give Namche a try. And it did not disappoint! Authentic flavors which transported me back to Nepal. Will definitely come back again.

We had such a delicious dinner, and bartender made the best chai I've had in my life. Looking forward to come back once in Amsterdam!

The best dal tadka and naan I’ve ever tasted

5 stars for the food and drinks, authentic and tasty. However took way too long to arrive to the table. Further we asked for the rest of our food as takeaway, we received it and half of our leftovers is missing. A pity, makes you think twice before returning.

After I didn't understand the employee he started with a sign. Throwing it at my head I immediately filed a report

The food was really good. The puffed rice was a new and very strange experience for me, but it was very tasty. The sauce was a bit lacking, but upon request, they immediately provided a refill at no extra charge.

This is a great restaurant, and I love the dumplings here.. the only problem is you always have to wait here for almost 25 min after ordering the food. But trust me, the food is really good.👍

Amazing indian food! Best tikka masala in town! Superb staff, and great service. Highly recommended!

Delicious food, cozy restaurant. Highly recommend!

Very good food in quality n pricing. Very friendly staff very good service in the must beautiful area.😊

Really very good food. I had the chicken tikka masala and I liked it a lot

This is a lovely little restaurant in the heart of Canal District in a quiet back street, close but away enough from the hub-bub of the tourist watering holes to have a delicious dinner in a quiet atmosphere listening to birds in the little parkette next to the restaurant. Food was FAN-TASTIC and service very attentive. Highly recommend.

My partner & I came here for dinner last night & shared the steamed Momo (veg) with tomato sauce & the Veggie Dal Bhat - both were absolutely delicious! It was truly one of the best & most memorable meals I've ever had. The service was lovely & our server was very friendly & attentive. We also both really enjoyed their Nepal Pale Ale & had a couple each since they were so tasty & refreshing. We cannot wait to come back & enjoy another meal here. We'll be telling all of our friends back home (Chicago) to make sure they try Namche when they visit the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Cheers!

Loved everything about this restaurant! Just about managed to get in at the bar and I'm not surprised. The food was delicious, the staff were lovely and a perfect cocktail. Steamed momos were the star of the show for me and chow mein best we've had.

Probably the best meal of my life! Very good service and the taste is simply amazing. The momos in particular are highly recommended. A reservation is definitely a must, the restaurant fills up quickly.

Loved it, friendly service, lovely food and cozy environment. We would surely recommend!

Excellent Samosas, Momo, and Butter Chicken

Proper freshly cooked food, tasty and spicy but not just with chilli heat, more flavoursome. Fantastic cocktails and beers (NPA is my favourite), great friendly service and a BIG thank to Altin who guided us through the menu for a wonderful meal. We will be back 🙏🏼

Great food and nice seating outside. CN really recommend. But they don’t provide tap water - you will have to pay extra for water that is clearly tap but what they sell as a product. So that is pure scam.

The momo was a real treat, served in a rich and flavourful sauce. The Chicken Tikka Masala was outstanding as well. The chicken was tender and well-marinated, all enveloped in a creamy sauce. Portions were a bit small but really tasty!

One of the best meals we had in Amsterdam. It was so delicious and our server was very kind. The atmosphere was a bit quiet but felt comfortable and communal. We would come back to Amsterdam just for another dinner here!

This is the second time I have returned to this restaurant in the space of a year. And the food is still delicious. The staff is very accommodating. I ate the chicken tikka massala with a mango lassi and a nam cheese. I enjoyed myself. I highly recommend it.

Delicious food, great stuff, very nice atmosphere and good prices. Highly recommended

Nothing much to say except : This is the best Indian restaurant I've ever eaten in.

Updated review: I do not mean to compare this place to Dishoom in terms of cuisine as I know they are very different. I apologize for that! My intention was to compare them in terms of portion size and overall experience eating foods of the region. I am very familiar with Nepalese food as I have eaten it often and have local favorites. Where I live is lucky to have one of the largest concentrations of Nepali-American in US metro areas. I typically pay about $17-20 USD (15-18 Euro) for similar or the exact same dishes here in the US. It is not the portion size that bothers me as it is the typical portion size for this cuisine. It is the price to portion size. I personally just don't feel like I received a good value for what I paid. Previous review: It was ok, very middle of the road in my opinion. But the price for portion size is WILD. €25 for 4 pieces of chicken!? If you've ever been to Dishoom, it's similar portion sizes to them except it's almost double the price and not even half as good. The momos were alright. The butter chicken was good but overall not worth it.
