Raina Indian Restaurant in Landlust

Not the authentic indian experience you are looking for. 1. So i went with my mom to this restaurant, the waiter served me the menu but then he forgot to took my order and was talking to his colleague, i tried to make eye contact, raised my hand but nothing worked, this doesnt happen in any indian restaurant in india. 2. The bread - naan was brought it was completely cold, i told him about this but he said, he brought it warm, i mean what am i lying ? 3. The seats are not cozy at all and i had trouble while seating, i asked him can i sit somewhere else which he completely denied. In india we have something called athiti devo bhavah. - guest i god which was completely dissrespected here Absolutely not worth visiting to waste your money there.

Amazing food plus amazing hosting by Mr. Chibbhar. If you really want to eat good indian food in amsterdam, this is the best place to visit. All the best guys, missed meeting Mr. Suresh Raina this time, hope to meet him next time 😊

Good food, pleasant atmosphere.

Went for the hype and for the love of cricket, came out very much happy with the food we had there. Great food, good taste and amazing service. Easily recommendable place

Highly recommend this place. The food was great, and also the service. Very welcoming atmosphere. Will be coming back again!

Excellent Indian food - beer & wine good too. First class service.

Food was good but the manger with moustache was extremely rude , we were expecting warm hospitality but everyone was very cold , I took a second spoon of mouth freshener and the guy in moustache literally said on my face to not have it as it will finish , pathetic stuff , was here forn3 days , thought of coming all 3 days but won’t come now for sure looking at the attitude of staff , no wonder the place was all empty as we were the only ones sitting in the restaurant at peak dinner time . It’s the people who make this place worst.

I am full happy with his service

Good service and delicious food 😋👌and really thanks for Roshini for good service.👌

The food is great , staff is even better. Asif bhai was amazing! Would recommend!!

Great lamb, great service, would recommend going again

had travelled through three countries, Paris, Belgium and Netherlands the best Indian food. Authentic Indian food

Great food and several vegetarian options.

Very good! Owner accepted our suggestion and implemented immediately👏.

Amazing food. A bit expensive but worth it for the potionsize and taste.

We had a delicious meal! The food is very tasty and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to eat delicious Indian food in a beautiful restaurant.

I had an incredible dining experience here! The Paneer Tikka Masala was rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, and the Garlic Naan was the perfect accompaniment—fresh and delicious. Honestly, the food was beyond my expectations. Beyond the food, the staff behavior was excellent. They were welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for authentic Indian flavors and great service, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Really really horrible experience!!! We booked this place days in advance and the table was not ready when we arrived and it was never been set!! Food was below mediocre. Being a hardcore cricket fan as well Raina’s fan, we were so disappointed. Our first day in Amsterdam was a very sad experience.

We came from Switzerland. We had a five night stay in Amsterdam. All five night had a dinner at Raina Indian Restaurant. Nice ambience. Delicious food. Kindly staff and special thanks to Mr. Chhibber.

Delicious food. Kind staff and generous host. We really enjoyed the meal. 🙂

Amazing food, highly recommended

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! Congratulations to Asif and Koshi for their hospitality and for making our evening so spectacular. We will definitely return during our stay in the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Thank you!

We are so happy we made the decision to go to Raina during our Amsterdam trip! Food was excellent, our service with Shariff was wonderful, location of restaurant was very convenient for us by bus.

Good food had a great experience and the staff created a good experience. Do recommend.

I really like visiting to this restaurant and I like service from Shariff, he is super cool person who helped us to settle down and have good dinner and “outstanding service” from him. I must recommend everyone to visit this restaurant along with family.

The food was very good it’s a very recommended restaurant if u come to Amsterdam

Very authentic Indian cuisine, wonderfully spiced.

Service and atmosphere is good but food is pathetic. Half cook chicken and tasteless curry.

Shariff was cheerful, helpful and added to our dining experience. Was craving for Indian Chinese and it did the work. Portion sizes are big and some have rice accompaniment’s, so do check before ordering.

We had dinner here. It was very tasty. Felt that we got real Indian food taste. Service was also good. Mango Lassi was very less quantity for the price. But other items were having good quantity. They don't have any soups.

Was long overdue this place and it didn't disappoint at all. Lovely food and service, and a special shoutout to Sharif ji for being an amazing host for the evening.

Food quality still same however service has been degraded a lot . Server also charge for tap water and felt bit of cheated..

Great restaurant The food was absolutely delicious The service and the atmosphere was really great

I don’t usually write reviews, but this experience felt worth sharing—especially given the reputation of this well-known restaurant. Having traveled extensively across Europe and tried numerous Indian restaurants, I’ve often found that even when the food isn’t exceptional, the warmth and hospitality of the staff make the overall experience memorable. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. To begin with, most Indian restaurants offer small touches like papad and chutneys shortly after taking the order—something that helps set the tone and makes guests feel welcome. That thoughtful gesture was missing here. Secondly, flexibility with meals is something I’ve come to expect. Typically, naan, roti, or rice can be adjusted based on customer preference. In this case, despite rice being included, it could not be substituted with roti. We were instead asked to order rotis separately, which felt unnecessarily rigid—especially after a long day when all you want is a comforting, satisfying meal tailored to your liking. We also had a disappointing delay when we ordered a second round of rotis. They arrived only after about 20 minutes and a reminder from our side. The explanation given was that a large order had come in and ours was missed. By the time the rotis were served, the rest of our food had gone completely cold, which significantly affected the overall dining experience. We also had a small but telling moment when we asked for a slice of lemon. Initially, we were told it wasn’t available as it was reserved for salad, which felt surprising for a restaurant of this standing. Eventually, two small slices were provided, but the interaction left an impression. After this overall experience, I had initially thought of ordering a comforting Indian dessert to end the meal on a better note, but I chose not to. Lastly, while the food itself was genuinely delicious and deserves full marks, it unfortunately felt like it had been reheated rather than freshly prepared. In summary, the cuisine was excellent, but the overall experience fell short of expectations. At a restaurant of this caliber, one hopes for not just great food, but also thoughtful service and a welcoming atmosphere—which, sadly, were lacking here.

Delicious food, very good service, and gezellig atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Amazing thank you Shariff !!! Great food great people !!!

Beautiful place and tasty food!

Food was very good and delicious if you like spicy food must visit the place

Excellent place for a quite dinner, wonderful food and above all cordial staff. Sharif took care of us well and also accommodated all our special requests regarding customisation of the order.

Super nice indian food, amazing butter chicken

A very good Indian authentic taste with perfect amount of Spice. Good Vegetarian options and tasty Veg food

Great service and food from sherif!

They got some lovely music, friendly service, good food and a lot tables

Amazing place, great food & very good service!

This is the absolute best experience I’ve ever had with Indian food. The taste, the spices, the flavor, and the amount of food was perfect. I also had a wonderful experience with everyone working there, especially my waiter Shariff. He made sure I had everything I needed and kindly checked in on me, asking if I wanted something more. Always greeting me with a big smile. I also had the pleasure of meeting the boss of the restaurant, whom I sadly don’t remember the name of, but he was super nice. I will definitely come back many, many times. Already looking forward to it!

Amazing experience. Mr. Chibber and team are very good, hospitality, quality of food and it’s served with lots of love…. Must visit whenever you are in Amsterdam for authentic Indian food

Experience was so good and specially staff named sharif helped for good food selection.

Raina Restaurant is centrally located in Amsterdam, making it very easy to reach by both train and tram. It’s a wonderful place to enjoy delicious Indian cuisine right in the heart of the city. Thanks to Suresh Raina and his dedicated team, the restaurant has a unique charm—you’ll even find signed Chennai Super Kings jerseys proudly displayed inside. The restaurant itself is spacious, spotless, and designed to suit every occasion, from casual meals to group gatherings. The ambience is warm and inviting, and the staff are exceptionally attentive, always ready to accommodate any request with a smile. The music adds to the pleasant atmosphere without ever being overwhelming. The food is outstanding—prepared by highly experienced Indian chefs who clearly take pride in every dish they serve. I strongly recommend dining at RAINA’s Restaurant. It’s a must‑visit spot in Amsterdam for anyone who loves authentic Indian flavors paired with excellent service.

Amazing food n good hospitality

Food was delicious and the staff very friendly.

Best Indian restaurant in Netherlands. Mr chibbar the owner was super sweet. Our server abdulah from bangladesh was perfect. Served us very well. I tried chicken noodles chicken tikka biryani butter chicken . The desserts were also nice rasmalai & gulab jamun. Masala papad was to die for.

We family of 4 had dinner here. It was delicious and one of the best we had outside India.

We had a delicious meal, the mango lamb was amazing, and the online reservation worked perfectly.

Very good food and kind service

Amazing food and the service was also great. Would highly recommend.

I had made a reservation here to celebrate my birthday. There were four of us ladies, and I had mentioned this in the reservation. Upon arrival, they only asked how many people were in the party, but not about the reservation. I indicated that I had made a reservation. We chose what we wanted quite quickly and passed this on. Drinks arrived quickly, but the food only arrived after more than an hour! Someone had come by twice in the meantime to ask if we had ordered yet?! The portions were in small bowls, and there were no serving spoons included anywhere. I went to ask for one, and I was pointed out where I could get one. Instead of four portions of rice, we wanted naan instead. According to the man, the naan were very small triangles, but when they arrived, they were actually quite large?! So, we had ordered too much. Poor communication, and I had expected much better service, which is just normal elsewhere. The taste was good, but unfortunately, my appetite was gone. Because of this, I won't be coming back to eat here anytime soon, unfortunately. They didn't say anything about the birthday. We were offered chai on the house, though.

Very amazing food. Great hospitality. Very friendly staff. Overall a very beautiful experience.

The food was very delicious. The service was also really good. It did not take long for the good to come although really busy. All orders very really nice and they took care of our dieatary wishes.

My brother visited this restro in Feb 2022

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Special thanks to Sharif, who was extremely helpful and took the time to explain many of the dishes to us. His friendly attitude and knowledge made our visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back again!

The food was at paar with Authentic Indian flavours. We enjoyed Mango Lassi, Chicken Seekh Lamb, Goa Fish Curry, Garlic Naan and Rice. The chutney were tasty as well. Thank you for wonderful hospitality!

Spectacular, the flavors are perfect!

Excellent food and exceptional service

Both the taste and quality of food is great! Loved the ambience as well!🤌

We enjoyed our tasty Indian specialities and were taken care of so well by Sheriff who was just a delight!

The food tastes truly authentic and full of rich Indian flavors.

food tasted just like back home — authentic and perfectly spiced. Shariff deserves a special mention for his kindness and professionalism. He made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend!

Very delicious and great portions! We got the mix tandoori grill and the prawn curry. Asif was a great waiter and we’ll definitely be back!

Great Indian food..good hospitalit!!❤️

I always come here to eat indian food. The food is literally amazing!! The staff is also very lovely, with Sheriff and Abdullah being top waiters and really great human beings!!

This is mine and my boyfriend’s favourite Indian restaurant in Amsterdam. The service is top-notch (Sheariff & Abdulla are absolutely lovely!) and the food is always delicious.

Very good and well done All is perfect

We were 11 people and the service was great. The food as well

The food was delicious. The pakora, naan, samoasa, and butter chicken were my favorites. I even took some extra home.

Shariff was just simply amazing!!

Definetely a 5/5! Service was very kind and on time, and food was delicious and proper quantities. Recommended for a group of 4+ people, then you can share and try several dishes

We went in because it was close to our hotel and we're starving, it ended up being one of our favorite food places. Will be dreaming about the garlic bread.

Just like Suresh Raina could not handle short pitched deliveries at his body while playing top level cricket, the food at his restaurant in Amsterdam fell flat with poor quality and service. Taste of lamb roganjosh lacked the Josh and admitted by his staff that lamb was not cooked to perfection upon having to taste by themself. “New chef was given the recipe but he made errors and feedback was repeated from the prior day” these were the words shared by the staff member. Cut down on the volume of menu items to do justice to fine art of cooking with taste.

Food was good but we ordered two spicy dishes and neither was spicy at all

Excellent restaurant! Whether it's the well-informed service, the relaxed atmosphere, or the cuisine, which is fresh, high-quality, and flavorful! It's fantastic. I highly recommend it.

We had the best time of our visit as Me Asif, a great host, attended so well that we did not miss our country that is India, hospitality and other staff also gave us unforgettable memories. Special thanks to Mr Asif for such a great hospitality,

Beste service and food,Thanks Asif

Food is awesome, tasty ... must try Geniuan Indian food.. 👌👌✌️ Sookun 😄😄👌👌

Amazing place in Amsterdam Must try there Mango Lassi loved the vibe and Atmosphere

We ate at the Indian restaurant and were absolutely thrilled! The food was truly delicious, freshly prepared, aromatic, and perfectly seasoned. We especially loved the wide selection of dishes, from mild and sweet dishes to truly spicy specialties, so there was something for every taste. The restaurant was busy, which clearly speaks volumes about the quality. We were lucky to get a table for four. The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, a wonderful evening with fantastic food.

Lovely experience at this place when we visited. Good food and fun experience!

Excellent hospitality, especially the owner. The staff was also very humble and polite. I would suggest this any day. I will come here again and again!!!

Normally i was search for a indian restaurant near me in Amsterdam then, I came across the Raina Indian restaurant, then I realized that this restaurant is owned by our Indin cricketer suresh raina, i tried punjabi food it was really amazing compaired to the other Indian European restaurant and I was greatly served with the Indian hospitality it was really a great experience!

I had travelled through three countries, Germany Belgium and Netherlands the best Indian food I have eaten is here ! Perfect authentic taste great hospitality a perfect dinner place !

Good Amboise Good food Good seevice

Recommend to visit Raina restaurant whenever in Amsterdam for indian cuisine. Thanks to Ashif for serving

Seemed a bit more focused towards foreign tourists, even though it’s an Indian restaurant. The food was good but I’d avoid for the cold experience.
