Restaurant Garam Masala in Rotterdam Centrum

Delicious Indian food, good cuisine, friendly staff and prices are reasonable.

We always eat here, our regular dining spot is delicious. My compliments!

Worst indian restaurant in my life……

I ate here to my heart's content! Delicious biryani and a mango lassi that I still dream about, really! Ate here via social deal and it was delicious. The portions were very large, I don't think I even finished half of it. However, taking it with you in a container was no problem. The only tiny downside is that we sat next to a (storage?) cupboard door and every time it opened we got a gust of cold wind over us. The door only opened a few times so we didn't say anything about it, otherwise it was fine. We were the only guests in the restaurant for 2 hours. This place deserves much more appreciation, I would say give it a visit😉

Very good experience and would go again if I was in Rotterdam longer. Service was very good from taking order, serving drink and food which was very tasty and served hot and promptly.

A quarter of the restaurant was full, the service (one waitress who was serving) was nice, the food tasted good... but you have to be so patient... you have to wait sooooooooo long for your food... after the starter we waited at least an hour for the starter! After an hour we asked if the food would still come??? we then had to wait another half hour...we won't be back there anyway...

"An absolute gem for Indian cuisine! The flavors are rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced. Every dish is bursting with spices and aromas that transport you straight to India. The staff is warm and welcoming, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend the karai chicken - it was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be coming back for more!"

Delicious Food with excellent service . To me it is the best asian restaurent in Rotterdam

We arrived at 6:45 PM and didn't get our main course until around 8:30 PM. The appetizer also took a long time and we ended up asking questions about how long will it take if we order this or that and based on the answer we decided whether or not to order. Even after we indicated whether it would come a little faster, it arrived late. At one point children fell asleep due to fatigue. They couldn't bear the wait. Vindaloo was too spicy, almost impossible to eat. We can eat spicy food, but this was unbearably spicy. The crazy thing was that the restaurant wasn't even busy. We didn't understand it. Or did they have home delivery orders that they prioritized? We really had no idea what the reason was. Never again for us. The first and last time Garam Masala!

Delicious food with fairly quick service. The women's toilet was clean, the men's toilet smelled like sewage. Food was tasty. Onion bhaji and pani puri were tasty as a starter. Main course of lamb saag and karai paneer were both tasty. I also really liked the mango (and coconut) lassi. Dessert of Indian pistachio ice cream was also tasty. Plate of Indian bread as a starter was a bit dirty. Garlic nan was tasty. Place would get 5 stars if they were a little cleaner.

Ate here with social deal. Was delicious and incredibly friendly staff.

Truly excellent Indian restaurant. Dishes taste very good and come in good portions.

Bit of an odd place. Good staff. Food was excellent I had a nice curry and rice. Garlic Nan was good. Could have done with a couple more sauces for the popadoms. The place is like a cafe. With some nice bits and bobs, but on the stormy day we arrived it was a shelter from the pelting rain. Had Kingfisher lager. Seems like a family venture rather than a chain or venture capitalists dream.

I recently visited this Restaurant for dinner and had the Chicken Biryani.The Biryani was tasty, flavourful and presented beautifully. The ambiance and decoration of the restaurant was really good. More importantly, the staffs were very welcoming. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking authentic Indian cuisine.

It might not look like so from the outside but the interior is very welcoming and warm. The food was really good, even though the service was a bit slow it wasn’t a huge problem and I loved the idea of using candles to keep the dishes warm. Densak chicken highly recommend!

I've been to India for a while and the food there is fantastic. And now you also want a restaurant in the Netherlands that serves real Indian food. These come very close. The food is delicious! They are friendly and neat. It was very busy but nice and cozy. 2 small downsides for me, the toilets smell quite bad and the floor is sticky everywhere. Maybe a small suggestion, don't use cleaning products for a while, only use osmosis water to mop.

We reserved the day before and were seated quickly. We waited almost 30 minutes for our drinks (a coke and a beer) and almost two hours for our food. The food was okay. The naan was a little dry and burned on the other side. There is only one dal option on the menu and it was average.

I recently dined at this restaurant with my family that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance and friendly staff made me feel welcome. Somosa is a must try , perfectly crispy and filled with spiced potatoes .loved the mango coconut lassi aswell.You guys will definitely see me again.

I was waiting there for my order as a courier. I saw all the waiters were sticking their fingers inside the bowl while carrying it

I love the food here and also the atmosphere very warm and cosy. Best Indian food in the town and I order home very often. I love tikamasala the most

Delicious food with Social Deal. Tender meat and tasty curry. The dessert was also excellent. Keep some bare and sanitary facilities better...

You know what it is Starters were okay. Main courses were very good! So that's all fine, but... I had to wait 2 hours for the main course…. That was a shame. We were not the only ones who complained about this. I give 5 stars because the food was good

Delicious food. Desert was bit lacking. There was no toilet paper in the toilet. Minus point

A while ago. But from what I can remember it was received by a friendly lady. It was almost impossible for anyone to eat quietly, but at least then you could understand each other. Excellent atmosphere, subdued interior. Food was tasty.

One of the best Indian cuisine in the town.

Quiet, clean, friendly. Had butter chicken and cheese naan. So good.

Really really great food! We'll certainly come back.

This is the tastiest Indian restaurant in Rotterdam. Have visited many times and this one is by far the best.

Had an amazing experience.food and hospitality is amazing

Amazing food, lovely service and very decently priced. Well worth a visit.

Ordered palak paneer. It was spinach in curry and not palak paneer. Roti was not cooked properly. They didn’t follow instructions which was meet me at reception. They left the food with the reception who didn’t bother to tell us the food was there

Great in taste, if you are looking for authentic Indian food, then it's great to give a try. Superb service.

Second time eating here. Everything was fine on the first visit, but the Chicken Chaat as a starter really stood out. This time was no different. You should go for this dish alone. Mild shrimp curry, good spicy murgh tindaloo, bombay aloo, sag paneer and garlic nan also fine. As far as I'm concerned, it's currently the #1 among Indian curry restaurants in Rotterdam!

On Mother's Day we ate at Garam Masala. It was delicious, friendly and fast service. They take your wishes into account. They are great fun with your children. A few months ago we were in Dubai, where we often went to Indian restaurants, which were always delicious. In Rotterdam we went to a few places but couldn't find the same quality. Garam Masala has surpassed it. I definitely recommend them, location is also great. You'll be in town in no time.

We thought the food was very good, and one of the best in Rotterdam today. Unfortunately, not everything on the menu was available, especially desserts and wine. Service was very friendly. All in all, definitely a restaurant to go back to in the future. One tip for this restaurant: you can raise the prices a little, it's worth it.

Super delicious food. Ideal for groups!

The food was very good! Delicious samosas, naans, Butter Chicken and Madras Lamb. The service was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately the place was quite empty on a Friday evening. It didn't matter, but it was especially sad for the people themselves.

The food was mediocre, the waitress only took dessert orders for half our table and the toilet smelled like a sewer and could be smelled through the entire restaurant. Horrible experience

Food mediocre, chicken in my biryani was dry and lentil soup had little taste. Service terrible, our starter and drinks took over an hour to arrive on the table. Waiter serves food with his ears still in. Above our table in the corner spider web with another spider in it. We wanted to take most of our main course with us, but when we came home to heat something up, it turned out that they didn't even give us half of it. In short, I did not experience this restaurant as satisfactory in any respect.

The butter chicken is good but i would prefer it to be a little spicy. Normal indian food, is good but not wow !

Abbiamo mangiato davvero molto bene, con dei prezzi onesti. Peccato che il servizio fosse un po' lento.

Heerlijk gegeten, jammer dat de zaak nog niet voor de helft vol zat want dat is het wel wat de sfeer ten goede zou komen. Het voordeel is wel dat je eigenlijk niet hoeft te reserveren van te voren.

Love this place and the food is just awesome. Can’t stop myself from visiting this restaurant over again!👍

Nice place to hangout and tasty India food with lot of options..

De passage à Rotterdam je décide de choisir un restaurant indien pas loin de mon hôtel : Cuisine indienne de bas gradé, hormis le riz qui est bon, ma chicken tikka massala était un désastre, le naan moyen, pas de sauces indiennes servies hormis celle à la menthe, service HYPER LONG, ambiance et déco sympathique. En somme, expérience très moyenne. Je ne recommande pas spécialement.

Was skeptical after reading old reviews. My hunch didn't disappoint me. The food is great and reminded me of the traditional Indian dishes. Ordered Sheek Kebab Bhopali, Garloc naan, Vindaloo lamb madras Curry (its extra spicy) and Mango Coconut Lassi. Took away chicken biryani also. It was great taste and recommend to everyone. Will visit again.

Het eten was helaas mier- en mierzoet en daardoor vrijwel oneetbaar. De curry's hadden een soort dikke, maizena-achtige consistentie. Ik kan het afraden om hier te bestellen.

Ik had afgehaald dus de 3 sterren beoordeling is vooral op het eten gebaseerd. Ik heb al aardig wat Indiase tenten geprobeerd in Rotterdam maar dit vind ik de minste tot nu toe. Dikkige bruinige curry, alsof het geblenderd is. Zag er. Ier smaakvol uit en was het ook niet echt. Bovendien helemaal geen salade meegeleverd waardoor de frisse noot ontbrak. Ik zal hier niet weer bestellen.

Eten laten bezorgen vandaag. De smaak viel tegen. Het was vlak, niet gebalanceerd zoals je van Indiaas eten verwacht. Ik heb elders veel beter gegeten. Bestelling ook niet goed ingepakt, had gelekt.

Food was nice. Ambiance is amazing. They play nice slow Bollywood songs. Prices are economic.

The food was fresh and mediocre. If you are in a bind, this place can work.

Zéér lekker gegeten! Je merkt dat alles vers is en met liefde gemaakt! Ook het meisje die ons bediende was zeer vriendelijk en beleefd.

The staff is very good . The food was very tasty. Friendly environment for kids.

We ate here twice during a week long stay. The restaurant was quite spacious and nearly empty, but doing a solid take out business. We are both vegetarian, and tried various vegetable dishes and paneer masala. Everything was only mild to medium spicy. The cinnamon ice cream was icy, but still delicious.

Lekker Indisch restaurant. We kwamen 2 avonden na elkaar en probeerden van mild tot spicy. Alles top en niet duur. Ook onze hond mocht binnen. Dank daarvoor.

Superlekker gegeten. De serveerster was vriendelijk en vlot en het eten was erg lekker!

Goed Indiaas restaurant. Heerlijk eten . De moeite waard om eens te gaan eten.

Dit lijkt helemaal niet op butter chicken en het proeft er ook totaal niet naar. Ik heb vaak butter chicken gegeten, maar dit was echt teleurstellend! De naan viel helaas ook tegen.

Heerlijk eten, vriendelijke obers en je eten staat binnen zeer schappelijke tijd op tafel. Absolute aanrader!!

Heerlijke eten!!! Bestel hier altijd. Love the food. Thank you chef!

Can't remember the last time i tasted something this great. It was everything i expected and more . At this point, it isn't food it's art, pure bliss. I definitely do recommend this restaurant . It's a chame that a restaurant like this wasn't packed full. Chef if you read this, thank you ♥️ The best sincerest.

Food could be better. Dal Soup and Dal Tharka tasted the same.

Lekker gegeten, fijne service, vriendelijke medewerkers. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar!

Sehr lecker die Gerichte, wir haben zum mitnehmen bestellt alles noch warm und super verpackt!!

Lekker eten, prima prijs, aardige bediening

Have to wait for an hour and 15 minutes for my order to arrive food is just ok very weak flavors and spices not a real Indian food restaurant.

Het eten was super lekker, vol met smaken en het vlees was super mals! De cheese naanbrood was gewoonweg subliem. Ons zie je zeker terug als we in de buurt zijn.

Het eten is altijd heel lekker, en de porties zijn groot. Er werd deze keer een foutje gemaakt met de betaling. Maar dat werd gelijk vriendelijk opgelost en ik kreeg zelfs iets extra’s mee! Toppers

Afgehaald en was erg lekker en goed heet

Heerlijk gegeten en goede, vriendelijke bediening. Het ziet er misschien niet heel uitnodigend uit maar het is zeker een aanrader

Good food and nicely located in centre of Rotterdam . U can get good option of veg n non veg foods.. chef is very flexible and u can definitely suggest as per ur taste ..enjoyed the food
