Taj Indian Restaurant , Amsterdam , Netherlands in Oude Pijp

My wife and I had dinner here last night. Top-notch service and, of course, delicious food. And the dessert was delightful. We will most certainly be back.

A True Hidden Gem in Amsterdam! We recently visited Taj Indian Restaurant for the first time for a team dinner, and it was an absolute standout experience.From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and accommodating to our group. We ordered three to four different dishes, and every single one was excellent—perfectly spiced, authentic, and full of flavor. The pricing is also very reasonable, especially considering the fantastic quality and portion sizes.To top off a wonderful evening, they treated us to complimentary kheer. It was absolutely mouthwatering, creamy, and the perfect sweet finish.Highly recommended for team outings or anyone craving top-tier Indian food in Amsterdam. We will definitely be back!

The food here was amazing. There was a great selection of Indian dishes and the waiters were all very friendly. Definitely recommended. We would go here again. 👍🏻

I love Indian food and was very impressed with the Taj Indian Restaurant. A great selection, delicious Rogan Josh in a generous portion, complimentary papadums and dessert, and very friendly service. I will definitely come back!

So great!!! The waiters were incredibly nice, the food was delicious, and we got free ice cream :P

What a wonderful experience at this restaurant on Marie Heinekenplein. Every single dish was exquisite and full of flavor. We found the way the dishes were served in those stylish copper pans, with the tea lights underneath to keep everything nice and warm, particularly atmospheric. Everything was perfectly taken care of, and we truly enjoyed the evening. We will definitely be back here soon.

We stumbled upon this restaurant whilst exploring the streets of Amsterdam. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. The food was delicious. True North Indian style dishes. Everything tasted flavorful and fresh. A must try if you’re in the neighborhood

The food was really amazing, I went there with my european office team and they too absolutely loved it. The service was also great and the owner is also very kind. Would definitely recommend it for office parties

Really excellent Indian Restaurant. We had the fixed menu for two persons to try as much as possible, and there was plenty of food. It tasted delicious and the service was great.

the food is amazing, the staff is friendly, super kind and efficient! they had a lot of gluten free options too. will definitely be back!

We were on our way to another resta And came upon the Taj. Honestly, their food was very good. We had prawn biryani, which was well flavoured and delicious; and the dhall makhani and paratha, my favourite, which was very good! They gave us complimentary papadams and chutneys, a large salad and some kheer to share for dessert. I do recommend them.

Amazing food, good balance of flavours. Loved the prawn biryani.

Enjoyed a delicious meal here on the first night of our holiday. The staff were lovely, very friendly & welcoming. The food was really good, very tasty with great flavours. Prices are very reasonable. Would eat here again anytime we revisit Amsterdam.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Tajj Indian Restaurant in Amsterdam. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed like family. The owner and the entire staff are incredibly friendly, caring, and genuinely passionate about making every guest feel special. The food was simply outstanding. Every dish was prepared with love, rich flavors, and authentic Indian spices. Honestly, I can say this was some of the most delicious Indian food I have ever tasted in my life. The quality, freshness, and presentation were exceptional. What made the experience even more memorable was the warmth and hospitality of the team. Their kindness and attention to detail made me feel truly valued as a guest. If you are visiting Amsterdam and love Indian food, this restaurant is a must-visit. I highly recommend it and will definitely come back whenever I am in Amsterdam again. Thank you to the owner and the entire team for such a beautiful dining experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended! 🙏🌸

The food here is amazing and reasonably priced.The service is above and beyond. You feel like one of the family. The atmosphere is relaxing and easy. You feel very comfortable. I highly recommend this restaurant

Lovely food, friendly service, Singh provided great recommendations. Would recommend a visit if you enjoy indian food.

Amazing service and food, the lamb was so tender and the curry was full of flavor. Mango lassi actually tasted great and not just sugary water. The cheese garlic naan actually tasted like cheese and garlic. Just honest, humble food with bold flavor

A great restaurant with some nice vegan options! If you ask, they can also remove butter or etc., so that it becomes a vegan meal. The staff is really really nice and the atmosphere is wonderful, would definitely recommend to everyone!!!

My favorite butter chicken in Amsterdam!! Staff is so nice too.

The food was delicious, everything was so tasty. The waiter suggested dishes that were the best choice. Take their recommendations! The staff are very friendly... 10/10 ☺️🥰💙💚💜

Everything was literally amazing! If you want to have a real good service and an amazing Indian food in Amsterdam Taj Indian is a must!

Excellent, top-notch service with smiling and lovely staff! Definitely worth trying.

We had a fantastic meal, the staff were absolutely lovely and attentive from beginning to end! A huge thank you to them for this wonderful experience and service.

Everything was perfect here, a very friendly welcome throughout the entire stay. The food was excellent. They clearly go to great lengths to ensure their guests feel comfortable, and they succeed.

We had an exceptional experience at Taj Indian Restaurant in Amsterdam. From the moment we arrived untill the time we left, the waiters as well as the management treated us with genuine frienliness, warmth and humility. The hospitality was truly outstanding and made us feel incredibly welcome. We visit Indian restaurants on a very regular basis all around the world and I can honestly say that the food here compares with the very best. Every dish was full of flavour, beautifully prepared and clearly made with great care and pride. I can highly recommend Taj Indian Restaurant to anyone vsiting Amsterdam. Do yourself a favour and pay them a visit-you will not make a mistake.

Extremely nice owner, great service, a place to feel at home!

I am a returning customer, Taj is always a valid option when in De Pijp. The food is prepared with skill and the staff is always kindly providing explanations regarding the ingredients and level of spiciness. Very solid alternatives on the menu if looking for something vegetarian.

A really good Indian restaurant. Out of five meals all five were delicious. The service was excellent with a warm welcome when we arrived to a generous farewell as we left.

The most delicious food and the best service! Everything was absolutely perfect!

I was blown away by the lamb saag--incredibly tender meat!--and the peshwari naan--the filling was so moist and abundant! Everything else we had was excellent, too--the onion bhaji (loose deep-fried onion bits, not balled together--more surface area for sauces!), the papadam (so crispy!), and the gulab jamun. I love Indian food and have sampled Indian restaurants in the UK and US, but this was my favorite by far.

Our dinner was beautifully presented and delicious. Service was kind and attentive, and the atmosphere was very comfortable. We enjoyed our experience very much.

We just left the restaurant. This meal will be a highlight of our trip in the most wonderful way, it was so delicious! Unique spices and flavors! 🙏

Such good service here, very attentive. The food was so delicious, best Indian food I have had in Amsterdam. We had the biriani and chicken saag curry. The starters were also good and very nice naan breads. My friend had the spiciest lamb curry on the menu, be warned ... it was extremely spicy!!! And very very reasonably priced. Cant wait to go back!!

Delicious food and incredibly friendly staff. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent food, served in style by warm staff. We got a delicuous complimentary starter and dessert. Will definitely come again!

Great food, friendly staff. Great service. Lovely and warm atmosphere. Brought a friend who never had Indian food before. Introduced him to Chicken vindaloo, samosas,, nan and tikka marsala. Loved each dish and now frequents this restaurant.

Wonderful staff and food is really good. We tried lamb briyani and chicken appetiser. Meat is soft and juicy , very well marinated. The whole team is very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend

Every time we are in Amsterdam for a short break, we come here. All the way from Italy. Nice food and nice people.

My favourite Indian place in Amsterdam - the food is delicious, the price is reasonable and the staff are super friendly! 🙏 can recommend

The food was incredible, so well-made and well-balanced. The atmosphere so cozy and warm, and the service so nice and polite. Absolutely recommended in case you wish for a fulfilling night :)

Super sweet people and delicious food!! Really good portions too. And a bonus for the decor :)

Delicious food and attentive service. We'll gladly come again.

Excellent experience from start to finish! We came by chance during a stay in Amsterdam, and we enjoyed both the meal and the attentive staff.

Last night, two of us had dinner at Taj. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed and assisted very kindly. The food (chicken tikka masala, chicken Karahi, bhindi bhajie, butter naan) and the mango lassi were absolutely delicious and highly recommended. The service at Taj is of very high quality, and we will certainly be back.

Got a free dessert! Think it was because they veer really busy and the food tok a while. Friendly staff!

Excellent Indian food with a large menu. Very authentic, right down to the 20 year-old furniture. This seems to be family ran with the original proprietor.

Food was beautiful and staff so friendly particularly Singh who spoke with us about his family & time in India he was very interesting to talk to and a lovely man.

Tourist trap pricing with small portions add up to very poor value for money. OK quality. Refuses to serve tap water.

An authentic experience in a somewhat old-fashioned design. We ordered a tasting course of both starters and main courses, which were delicious but we were a little disappointed to discover that it was actually the same dish - the same sauce, with a little more variety of meat, and we would have liked it if the waiter had pointed this out to us, especially given the fact that we were looking to taste a variety of dishes. We also ordered naan and cauliflower which were excellent. The food was delicious, the chicken was really soft and fell apart. The sauce was spicy!! The service was very pleasant, polite. A little formal. For dessert, we received, free of charge, excellent Indian ice cream, in flavors of coconut, cardamom and rose water. Really excellent.

Had an excellent dinner at Taj! We were warmly greeted by the friendly staff and comfortably seated in the cozy dining room. The food was delicious, very fresh, flavorful, generously portioned (we had plenty left for our lunch the following day), and fairly priced. Would love to go back for an other meal highly recommend!

We had vegetarian menu for 2. It was superb

Sweetest staff. Extremely generous and delicious food. Would recommend

Ordered food 17:45, they said it will be delivered 18:40. ok can wait BUT it’s after 8pm and still no food. We called twice and it’s always 15’ away….aweful and not reliable service , if we knew we have to wait that long, we wouldn’t have ordered in a first place…now we are stuck at home on Friday night waiting for a delivery with no sign of ETA

Ordered as takeaway on uber eats at 18:00 with a promise to be delivered within 45 min. It’s now 20:11 and still no food. Called once at 19:00 with a promise to be delivered within 15-20min. Called a second time at 19:30 with a response that courier was on their way with 2 orders before us. More than 2h, still nothing and also, no call whatsoever. €50 spent for absolutely nothing but disappointment and no way to cancel the order. Please don’t overpromise when you clearly can’t deliver. Or at least keep your customers updated. But don’t just lie and think you’ll get away with it.

Authentic, genuine Indian flavors. Friendly and welcoming service. The Indian ice cream served after the meal is unique and delicious. Definitely worth a try!

Amazing Restaurant. Very good food and very friendly Stuff. Very affordable. We will Come tonight again 😍

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely loved my experience at Taj Restaurant! The food was simply outstanding—rich in flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted fresh and authentic, and you can really tell a lot of care goes into the kitchen. What made the visit even better was the hospitality. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. Service was quick, polite, and always with a smile. Great food, great service, and a great overall vibe—this place truly sets the standard for quality and hospitality. Highly recommended, and I can’t wait to visit again! 🍽️✨

A very nice and quiet restaurant, the service was truly excellent. There were many vegetarian and vegan dishes. The selection and variety were great. The food was also very, very delicious. Highly recommended for anyone who likes Indian cuisine.

From aperitif to dessert, the best Indian food I've ever had! A wonderfully warm atmosphere filled with the lovely scent of incense! The service was attentive and incredibly helpful; you could feel their genuine kindness and desire to take care of their guests—you felt truly pampered. The dishes were very generous and of high quality, making a strong impression! I highly recommend this restaurant; it's well worth a visit! Thank you again for this wonderful experience. We will be back!

Delicious food, friendly staff, and finally, we got a free ice cream for the table. Definitely recommended! We'll be back.

Lovely place, delicious food, and incredibly kind people. This is one of my favorite places to eat in Amsterdam. They also take my gluten-free and lactose-free diet into account and are very accommodating. The service is excellent and extremely friendly. What wonderfully kind people. I highly recommend it :)

Food is delicious, staff is very polite. Had to eat here twice during our stay :)

We were greeted and served with a huge warmness and kindness. We deeply appreciate it. The food was awesome, and the place had lots of quality vegetarian menus. We came out of the restaurant so satisfied. We will definitely visit again 😋

amazing food! super nice staff! Always coming back here for their vegetarian delicacies :)

Food was absolutely delicious. Staff were very kind, helpful, and attentive. Service was amazing. Highly recommend for anyone craving Indians cuisine.

A Really nice place which will satisfy your tastebuds and the service we got from this restaurant was really top notch

Delicious food, reasonably priced, vegetarian-friendly, and excellent delivery service. 5 ⭐️

Great service and really good taste. The waiter was politely checking if everything was okay and for once it didn't feel like disturbance or duty. Highly recommended

Delicious food and looked after by lovely people, highly recommended!

Delicious food and incredibly friendly service. I'd love to come back anytime. 🥰

The food and service at Taj Indian restaurant are really excellent. We were visiting Amsterdam for a city break and decided to eat local to where we were staying. The hospitality was second to none and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. 5 stars!

Very nice, welcoming place with an inviting atmosphere. Friendly and attentive staff. Excellent service. Excellent vegetarian options! Everything was delicious. Recommended.

Good Indian food and warm hospitality. We ordered garlic naan, raita, and paneer butter masala for two people, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The paneer butter masala was rich and well-balanced, naan was soft, and raita complemented the meal nicely. Total bill was around €30 for two, which is reasonable for Amsterdam. Friendly staff and a pleasant experience overall. Would definitely recommend to anyone craving authentic Indian food. 🇮🇳🍽️

My girlfriend and I had a great time at the Taj Indian Restaurant. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and both, food and service are excellent. We have tried a lot of Indian restaurants and this is definitely one of our favourites. We definitely would recommend spending time at the restaurant. Thanks again for the great time!

Had a delicious meal and incredibly friendly staff!

Indian atmosphere, fantastic food, and attentive service. We tried the Taj Special and had the opportunity to sample many Indian specialties.

This spot is INDIAN PERSON APPROVED. Dutch, British, Indian or anything in between as an Indian person I recommend and certify this restaurant for you. Great food, I’m a fan of the more flavourful curries so I went with chicken tikka and the butter paneer which was not spicy but was flavourful. If you find ketchup too spicy I’d stick with the butter chicken or shahi paneer

This legend came after me with my bag. Ty e food was amazing and the service even better! Thank you and for sure will be back! Kingfisher for life

We really enjoy Indian restaurants and I always order a King Prawn Korma. The one at this restaurant is the best I've had. And the Peshwari Naan was crispy and filled with raisins and little pieces of lychee. So good. Fair price. Extremely friendly staff. Will be back and highly recommend!!!

Lamb with lentils is served with yellow peas. Lamb korma is sweet. The lamb is cooked and then placed in a sauce. Biryani is rather unflavorful. Phulau rice is barely seasoned. Apparently a different chef than last year.

Wonderful restaurant, exquisite service, relaxed atmosphere, very attentive staff, and the best part: You can eat with complete peace of mind because everything is gluten-free. An ideal place for those with celiac disease.

Pretty good food; very friendly staff. Wait times weren't great, though. Various vegan options available (ask the staff about which ones can be made vegan)

Excellent food and very nice people. We enjoyed and were fully stuffed. We got a free delicious dessert. Thanks!

What amazing food and service! It really is the best food we have had in sometime. We ordered two chicken dishes, a dal, and a naan. The portions are amazing. And if you do overeat here, I completely understand. It's hard not to so you're definitely not the only one :)

Appalling ... took 2 hours to deliver food and kept putting the phone down when we enquired

Besides the location and decent taste of food, I was heavily disheartened by seeing a fellow indian immigrant deny me a glass of tap water, which I believe is a basic human gesture. It wasn't like if didn't order a complete meal for two people. Not recommended. Providing us with a complementary dessert doesn't make it even for me.

Don’t order here. Horrendous. They will tell you it takes 1 hour, but it takes over 2 hours. When you call them to ask when the food will be delivered, they will tell you “it’s coming in 15 minutes”. But it takes another hour. Save yourself the time and order somewhere else.

Good food. Kids liked egg fried rice

Amazing hospitality and the taste was even better than what we get in India. We tried their bestseller - chicken tikka masala, dal fry and the kheer. All were such big potions. Probably the best Indian restaurant in all of Netherlands.

Very good service, nice people and great food, this is definitely recommended

Very tasty food. The place and service could not have been better.

We just having the Masala tea. But without milk. Malaysian tea is better.

Samosas, Channa Masala and Aloo Gobi were awesome. Get a Kingfisher beer.

I took my family of 6 out on a Friday evening and was greeted with warm smiles and even better food. Take some time as a local or a tourist to spend an evening here. Spicy or mild, the menu has a fit for you.

Very good food, friendly service, and a lovely atmosphere. We'll be back!

Good service, great food friendly staff and kind owner.

what delicious food and friendly staff ❤️🥘😋

Delicious food, friendly staff, and excellent service. We even got free ice cream at the end. Highly recommended!

The staff were incredibly welcoming and kind. They even treated us to a delicious dessert! I highly recommend the paneer butter masala and the garlic naan. It's the perfect place to go if you're in the mood for a relaxed atmosphere with well-cooked dishes that are filling and a welcoming dining experience.

Very good samosa, good butter chicken but nothing special. However the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan were excellent ! The service was also amazing, all the staff was really sweet, and they gave us lots of free food (papadam, salad, ice cream).
