Restaurant De Keuken Van India in Wijk 00 Lochem kern

Great restaurant Delicious food

We ate here yesterday. The food was very tasty and the service was excellent. We had a very nice evening. Thanks!😋

Had a delicious meal, friendly service, well taken care of, very good value for money, definitely recommended.

Absolutely surprised by the quality of the food. Definitely recommended for lovers of Indian cuisine.

The Indian food served here is of very mediocre quality and shouldn't really be called Indian food. We ordered the chicken thali, which consists of a selection of chicken curries and side dishes. The papadum and the samosa were reasonably tasty. Regarding the naan, I have the strong impression that it was bought directly from a wholesaler and heated up in the pan. I regularly buy them at the Indian shop around the corner. The triangular shape, the taste, and the fact that the naan dries out quickly strongly suggest this. The curries were truly disheartening. The butter chicken didn't have the right color and the taste was deplorable. Coconut milk doesn't belong in a butter chicken. And the key flavoring, dried fenugreek leaves, was missing. The chicken karhai tasted like chicken broth and nothing more. As far as I could taste, the chicken was a bit on the dry side, a sign that it hadn't been stewed properly in the chicken curries, which it really should have been. The service was otherwise friendly and helpful, and the interior was decorated in an Indian style. However, when it comes to the food, it is clear that the basic knowledge and techniques of Indian cuisine are unknown, and the quality and taste of the dishes are really very mediocre.

Had a delicious meal with friendly staff

I had such a nice experience here! The food was delicious, and I particularly enjoyed the butter chicken, definitely will be back

Had a delicious vegetarian/vegan meal. Deducted one star for the atmosphere due to the many plastic plants. I prefer something more authentic and atmospheric.

Good and tasty food, not too spicy

We missed the taste of India. The thali seemed to consist of dishes from packets. Dahl without dahl flavor, carrot and pea mix from a jar. A shame. The mango lassi was bright yellow and tasted as if it were made from powder. The chai tasted like warmed-up milk. Unfortunately. We completely missed India in terms of taste and spices. The food was tasty, but Indians wouldn't accept this. We will not be coming back.

The food was delicious. Unfortunately, beer was only available in bottles. The service was good and friendly.

With Social Deal, you save a lot more than ordering à la carte. With the SD voucher, it was definitely worth repeating. The food was very tasty.

Having disregarded the negative reviews of this restaurant and being curious about the experience, I stepped inside with my 9-year-old son. The interior appeared well-maintained at first glance. However, the windowsill was filled with artificial plants, which looked cheap and unimaginative. Replacing them with some traditional items would have matched the culinary expectations. A little more attention to the decor would complete the picture. There was plenty of space on a weekday, so I was able to pick a spot. The service was prompt and friendly. I chose a safely spiced chicken dish for my son to introduce him to this cuisine. For myself, I chose a mildly spicy curry with spinach. The accompanying naan bread was very flavorfully seasoned and deserves all praise because it didn't slip from my fingers due to the oil. The dishes were delicious and plentiful; there is no arguing with that. All in all, a reasonable price for a successful culinary experience. My son even got a handful of sweets to take home.

Smells delicious when you walk in. Vegan thali was okay, bland, missed the peppers. Service is also okay. Everything just needs a bit of spice there.

Staying in Zutphen and going specifically to Lochum for Indian food. Vegetarian thali menu, and lamb madras. Traditionally spiced, as it should be in India. We asked for the lamb madras to be made hot and spicy. And it was served nicely and spicy.

Very nice food and well served! Variety of the menu is great!

We got takeout. Delicious variety of flavors and generous portions for 2 people for 2 days.

One of the best restaurants in Lochem with delicious food and a nice atmosphere where your taste buds are put to the test. Reservations are not necessary because it is always nice and quiet.

Very delicious food! The place is cozy and the service very nice and kind.

The curries and thalis are unsurpassably delicious. The atmosphere is wonderfully local and super friendly. What a great place.

Simply very good Indian food! Authentic, not Dutchified. Excellent value for money! Service: good and friendly.

Loved the food and the many vegan and vegetarian options!

Super good Indian restaurant! The staff is friendly. Eaten inside a few times, a 3-course meal for only 20 euros. Where can you still do that these days??! Recently got takeout, for the first time. Tastes really good; after a 25-minute journey, the food was still hot! Both the temperature and the spiciness ;)

In a word: wonderful! Dear people.

Very tasty food, lots of choice, cozy atmosphere, and only 20 euros for a 3-course menu.

Delicious food. Friendly service. The Rijsttafel is highly recommended.

Had food delivered for the first time today, and it was truly wonderful! Wonderful smell and delicious flavors, just like eating out at home. Very friendly delivery person!

Delicious food. Had to wait a bit longer, it was also very busy, but the food was more than worth it.

A wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. The courses are beautifully presented and full of flavor; you can taste the authenticity of Indian cuisine. The naan is freshly baked, soft, and perfectly paired with the dishes. A restaurant where you truly enjoy yourself and will want to return 🍛🫓

The food is very tasty and good. We will definitely be back.

Food and service were excellent. The atmosphere and decor could be a bit more Indian.

Wednesday evening, I picked up food after ordering. €50 for a vegetarian saag paneer and an insanely sweet lamb masala, plus bitter and burnt onion bajis and a few dried-out samosas. The smell of burnt frying oil was thrown in for free. Truly uninspired food that tasted nothing like Indian cuisine. Maybe the chef was having an off day and ran out of fresh ingredients, but we'll never be back. Food was thrown away for the first time in my life.

We picked up two meals here. I think the dishes could be a bit spicier.

In terms of taste, we expected more, but very affordable and authentic

Super tasty food for a great price!!

Honestly, the restaurant is nice and solves the food crisis. I recommend any Arab to eat there. The food is very delicious.

Delicious Indian food. Friendly host. Good explanation of the dishes and a nice Indian beer.

Heerlijk gegeten! Drie gangen menu genomen. Veel vegan opties. Gezellige inrichting. Helaas werd ik onwel bij het dessert maar werd toen fantastisch geholpen en verzorgd door een medewerker waar ik helaas de naam niet van weet. We mochten ook nog zonder afrekenen naar huis. Wij komen zeker terug en hopen dan alleen maar te kunnen genieten van het heerlijke eten en het vriendelijke personeel!

Het eten is opzich heel lekker . Maar je zou verwachten dat er verschil zit tussen een 3 gangen menu voor 20 euro pp. Of je besteld de losse voor - hoofd en nagerecht voor de volle prijs . Er zit dus geen verschil in de grote van het gerecht. We kregen voor 2 personen 1 schaaltje met rijst .en voor ieder het bestelde curry en massala gerecht. En als voor gerecht sies kebab. Helaas hadden wij aan de rijst echt niet genoeg. Maar kregen ook niet meer. Erg kleine porties .extra brood kregen we ook niet ....en extra rijst ook niet ....

Indian cuisine is my favorite. So I was pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant in my former hometown of Lochem. I ordered takeout and quite a bit—I think eight different dishes—expecting to try everything. The staff seemed nice, but the food was unfortunately a huge disappointment; it had little to do with Indian food. It started with the naan bread, which seemed a bit bland and undercooked, even cloying—completely different from what you normally get in an Indian restaurant. All eight dishes tasted about the same and looked almost the same, too. Furthermore, the flavor bouquet you normally find in Indian cuisine was missing; it seemed as if each dish had only one flavor; all the "background flavors" were gone. The chicken was also dry. No, none of this had anything to do with Indian food.

Heel teleurstellend, niet lekker. Alleen de samosas en de thee waren lekker, verder was het zeker geen goed Indiaas eten.

We kwamen hier op vrijdagavond om 20.20. Binnen werd ons heel kortaf gezegd dat ze gesloten zijn. Geen sorry of hopelijk tot volgende keer. Zo ga je niet met klanten om

Delicious food, very tasty for a small price!

Heeeeeerlijk gegeten, verrukkelijke huisgemaakte gerechten. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Hoewel ik geen gluten en paprika eet, was er genoeg over om uit te kiezen voor het driegangenmenu. Echt een aanrader wat ons betreft!

We chose the top-notch menu because we weren't familiar with Indonesian cuisine. You'd expect a variety of dishes. Unfortunately, all the main courses tasted almost the same, and the meat was quite dry.

Picked up 4 different curries together with 2x bread, was all very tasty. Very friendly staff. With 5 adults we ate more than enough. Really great.

Good value for money; tasty food at a good price

Ordered and picked up food. Dishes should be diverse in taste, but everything looked the same. Little crack but taste. We also tasted something sweet in everything. In short, not recommended, the food remained stuck in my stomach all evening......unfortunately I couldn't give half a star.

Deze plek is te ontraden om te gaan eten waarbij je aanpassing vraagt op bestaande menu. Geen muziek en hoor bediening kok over ons praten terwijl we 5 meter verderop zaten. Moeilijk gedaan over gerecht voor i.p.v. rund met kip. Keek raar toen we vroegen pittig was. Werd over ons gepraat bij de kassa dat we die vraag hadden gesteld. Hoorden saus oa bestond uit tomaat, ui, paprika en knoflook. En zo zag het er ook uit. Mango lassi was yoghurt smaak met siroop mango. Eten niet om aan te raden. Zagen later bij andere mensen het eten er aanzienlijk beter uitzag. Voornamelijk rund lam kip of vegetarisch . Geen vis, waren enige 2 bezoekers op dat moment in het restaurant. Prijs kwaliteit klopt werkelijk niet. Niet voor niets dat er om bediening en een kok wordt gevraagd.

We come here quite often, always tasty and service is very good, they are very friendly, delicious spicy food!

Nice atmosphere, quiet place, good food. Could use more staff. Language is still difficult, communication is often in English.

I was in the Lochem area for the first time and thought to order Indian food for my husband and I this evening. I was shocked when my husband found a small pice of glass in his rund saagwala. We have never had this happen to us before and have lost total confidence in this restaurant.

Chef specials ordered for € 18.00 per dish. What we got was a bowl of watery sauce with a few pieces of meat/fish. No vegetables in sight. Very disappointing for such a price. And if this was the chef special, hire another chef very quickly.

Delicious food. Definitely come back again. It was really delicious!!

Delicious food Friendly service So really great

If you think perfection doesn't exist, come here. The food is sacred, the Chicken butter is highly recommended. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is nice too. Especially a lot of beautiful paintings and statues. it's great, go here, I don't know if I said it already but the staff is super friendly

Ordered here - Zutphen - for the first time. Delivered from Lochem! Delicious food (vindaloo lamb 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️) Delivered on time and everything that was supposed to be hot was hot despite the distance.

Ate here with my partner, taste was good, slightly spicy. On the drive back to Apeldoorn my stomach started to bubble. When I got home I immediately had to go to the toilet. After a bad night, now reasonable with a cup of tea and a rusk.

Fantastic meal. Nice and spicy, for the enthusiasts, but also soft treats available. Friendly service and not too expensive. Served quickly too.

When you enter, your taste buds immediately go wild, the wonderful smells come from the kitchen. We ordered different courses to taste each other's. Portions just right and very tasty. Relax tent with relaxed staff. All in all, highly recommended. Until next time .

This is another restaurant that is not suitable for catering. Every hobby chef can do the same. The quality is not fresh at all and much instant. The price-quality ratio has therefore been skewed. The wait staff is a rejected pipo from a circus that no longer exists. Yes, serving in a restaurant is really a profession that you should not underestimate. So a shame, another failing grade for this entrepreneur.

It smells wonderful and the vegetarian deal is good, but the food all tastes a bit the same in the same yellow sauce. Shame.

Delicious food for a very reasonable price. Authentic Indian food and nice atmosphere. Spicy food is really spicy. Highly recommended!

I had dinner here last year. The experience was great. Therefore i decided to come back. Unfortunately the quality of food was poor. The Biryani rice was very disappointing. I must say the staff was super nice and friendly.

The lamb's texture was like rubber. Couldn't drink the chai after the first sip. Seekh kabab was okay.

I had never seen it before in the Netherlands, a restaurant serving Indian cuisine... great atmosphere and friendly staff... and also delicious authentic Indian food. I have already recommended it to my friends.

Gutes indisches Essen zum guten Preis. Einfache Gestaltung, aber was auf den Teller kommt ist wirklich gut. Die Pakora waren nicht so gut, aber die warmen Gerichte wirklich gut. Es ist nicht super oder fancy, aber ein solides gutes Angebot.

The food was okay but not much and the spicy curry was not spicy at all. Indeed Dutchized. Unfortunately, our clothes still smelled strongly of food after dinner. Very annoying if you have something else planned that evening. The next morning it still smelled strongly and everything had to be washed, including the coats. In my opinion, that is not the point of eating out. Furthermore, friendly service. Atmosphere not particularly Indian.

Delicious food! Friendly people. Quiet atmosphere.

Geen aanrader want eten niet echt bijzonder, ontvangst prima, eten snel op tafel maar frikandel in de tandoori mix grill?

It was such a good thing in the beginning...Unfortunately this time it was terribly disappointing. We were there on Wednesday, they ran out of lamb and beef at 6 p.m. (chicken or vegetarian option) unfortunately they didn't say that at the beginning, but only when you could order. Quickly opted for vegetarian, they forgot to bring the rice. €18 for a few peas and carrots with sauce. (also the wrong dish) only thing they said, sorry is busy, can't do anything about it. So no more Indian cuisine for us.

Delicious food, friendly service, the environment is neat and tidy

Delicious food, neat and well cared for

Via social deal where a discount was given Tastefully affordable in this case. The price on the menu was almost double, This isn't worth it. But the adjusted price was a great outing and in line with the food

Fast, friendly and really delicious!! Highly recommended. Will announce it in Winterswijk 🌺

What a hospitable restaurant with an excellent price-quality ratio. We'll be back here!

Excellent parkerwn sometimes takes some searching

Had a nice meal here, it smells spicy upon entering, the interior is not too special but neat. Simple operation that enjoyed surprising me. Had the 3 course menu which was 20 euros. Food was tasty, not too much but certainly enough. What we did notice was the speed at which the dishes arrived, but we could have done with that a little slower. All in all a delicious meal.

What a delicious meal we had. Friendly and smooth service.

Delicious food for a reasonable price. Nice service. The interior is not very attractive. Parking is available nearby.

Delicious food, quick service, cozy atmosphere.

Nice restaurant. But not special.

I love the restaurant, super tasty food, the service here is super nice, everywhere it is a super nice and tasty restaurant

It's okay and that's about it, the Tandoori mix sounds good but is nothing more than chicken and something that resembles a frikadel, beer is just cold, service is fine

Leuk in zijn eenvoud , authentiek, erg lekker, heel vriendelijk en een heel betaalbaar menu met ruime keuze! Goede toevoeging aan de Lochemse horeca.

Delicious food for a small price. Service could be a bit more assertive

A big disappointment. Food was mediocre and small portion. Had to laugh when she put my husband's entree in front of him. Service was nothing special. Not talkative either. (I know there are major staff problems in the catering industry, but still) There is no atmosphere in the restaurant. I have often eaten Indians, but this was far below par.

Had the 3 course menu. Delicious food. Portions look small, but they are certainly not, more than sufficient. Had delicious ice cream for dessert and a cup of coffee from the company. We will definitely come back.

Delicious food, good service, friendly

Restaurant is located on the edge of the center. Easy to reach and parking spaces on the water. Nicely decorated, and food was delicious and very good. We sat on the terrace and later inside due to rain. Would love to come back.

Had dinner here via Social Deal. However, SD no longer posts reviews, not even good ones. But we had a great meal here. The atmosphere and service were also very good. Definitely recommended!

Surprised when I read the positive reviews, are we talking about the same place?! I recognize myself more in the critical views and not just because the food is so strongly Dutchized. The dishes were small and lacked a deeper flavour, the rice and naan were not fresh, the dry wine just sweet. Service is impersonal and the table space is too small, perhaps all due to the crowds and understaffing of staff. The bill wasn't too bad, but we went home with mixed feelings.

We had a delicious meal at De Keuken van India for reasonable prices. The starter in particular was delicious. The dessert was a bit simpler than expected, but otherwise good. The staff is very friendly, but does not speak Dutch well, which makes communication a bit difficult. Although an effort has clearly been made to create an Inda's atmosphere, the large open space, without partitions or corners, makes it not really a cozy dining option.

Food was excellent! And the service is super nice!

Very very tasty good real Indian food

Ordered via Social Deal. Reviews were good, but we didn't understand them. Probably all these people have never eaten Indian, Thai or Vietnamese. My slightly spicy soup was very bland and had no taste. Beef dish had a lot of fat and my wife's chicken was very dry. In addition, my wife will open the microwave every 5 minutes. Desert was very good. Therefore 2 stars.

Very tasty food and certainly not expensive

Good, but certainly not excellent. Price quality is very good

Very tasty food, but I would like to make the place a more cozy and intimate atmosphere. But the food is really super tasty!!!

Cozy atmosphere, friendly (more English-speaking) staff, delicious 3-course dinner through a Social Deal promotion with a lot of choice! Thank you! You can also sit outside and our dog was even welcome!
