Indiaas Restaurant Shahjahan - Chicken Vindaloo and Butter Chicken - Indian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Absolutely delicious and authentic Indian food with plenty of options, including vegetarian options. As is usual, be prepared for a little bit of a kick if you're not used to spice! They only have bottled water that you have to buy, no complimentary water which was a bit strange. We loved the meal and would definitely recommend and return! read more

Found this place while searching for a place to eat dinner in the Jordaan area. Small 20-25 seater restaurant and it was packed the whole time we were there. The menu is fairly extensive and has a good selection of vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. The onion bhaji was really nice albeit slightly doughy and the samosas had a good taste. We had four vegetarian mains to share and they were all quite tasty and the rotis were also freshly made. Good food decent service and would happily come here again. It's well priced and tasty food. read more

Indiaas Restaurant Shahjahan - Indian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

We ate here during our short stay in Amsterdam. We got the vindaloo which was very good. Nice level of spicy without overdoing it. Portion sizes were good. Very prompt service. read more

We arrived later in the evening and about half of the tables were occupied. The menu had a wide variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The food was flavorful and the spice level was perfect (we like spicy!) It was some of the best Indian food we've ever had. The service was initially good but as the meal went on it dropped off. By the end, we felt like they had forgotten about us. read more

This was by far some of the best Indian food I've ever had in my life. As an Indian myself, I never know what to expect and often I'm disappointed but this literally blew my mind. I wish I could experience taking my first bite again. I would live in Amsterdam just so I could eat here every so often. The service was amazing too, the three men serving and taking orders did a fantastic job and were so efficient. Highly recommend mutter paneer and tandoori naan. I will never forget this place! If I'm ever back in Amsterdam, I'm coming here. read more

Indiaas Restaurant Shahjahan - Entrance - Indian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Our hotel made an 8 pm reservation for us; I know it was made as I was standing right there. However when we arrived our name was not on the list. We were shoved by the front door while others without reservations also were seated quickly. The front door kept hitting me and every time someone came in they left the door open blasting me with cold air. My daughter ordered the matter paneer and it was very good. I ordered the mixed grill appetizer and naan . The mixed grill was rock hard pieces of meat with an overwhelming masala and oil smothering it. The two pieces of shrimp were ok. The naan was decent. Disappointing last experience in Amsterdam. EVERY other meal was over the top fantastic at every restaurant we picked. read more

The prawn biryani was quite tasty, decent amount of spice but not overbearing and served with a side of raita. Kulcha was done very nicely as well, had a little bit of doughiness to it but not too much. Service was good. I tried the chicken chaat as well, it was fine, but probably would try something else the next time. read more

So, our friends who live here insisted on taking us here despite the fact that we're in Amsterdam on our first night. Since my friend has a reliable palette I thought hey, why not give it a shot. Samosa- 5 stars. This is the best samosa I've had in my life. The outside pastry was different from any pastry I've had. It almost tasted like a paratha dough and not the typical samosa dough I've had. Chicken tikka masala- 3 stars. I'm a huuuuge chicken tikka masala fan. At every Indian restaurant this is the only dish I order so I like to think that I know my masala action. This dish didn't taste like a chicken tikka masala that I'm used to but was still good. Lamb dish that looks like fajita plate- 5 star (says my husband) he couldn't believe how good this dish was. Potato dish- 5 star. Sorry I am butchering the names of these dishes as I dont't rememberer what it was called but this was bomb diggity. I usually skip ordering this dish but it was unbelievably delicious. Order it spicy because it's amaaaaazing. Some other dishes that I have a photo of but can't name as my friend ordered them all. Very good. I highly recommend is place and the cobra beer was pretty dang good as well. Great job, Amsterdam! Who knew I'd find the best Indian food I've had in my life in this country of all places. The cooks are Indian and all the dishes are super authentic. The spice was different but tastier than ever. read more

This place was amazing. I don't even know where to start. The samosas were sheer perfection. The pastry was flaky and delicious. The chicken tikka masala was spicy but not overpowering. The flavor was so well rounded. The lamb was tender and yummy. Again, the flavors were so well balanced. And everything else was equally delicious. The nan bread was fluffy and crispy - I'm not sure how they managed both. I'd certainly return without question. read more

A delicious Indian meal in Amsterdam! We enjoyed the Channa Massala, Palaak Paneer, Chicken Korma, and onion naan. All the food was very fresh and flavorful. The owners were very friendly and attentive. I recommend this restaurant and would happily return. read more

Very good food, though we have only tried the Butter Chicken and Matter Paneer (because we keep getting it again, and again, and again). Due to COVID have only done takeaway here so can't comment on anything regarding the inside of the restaurant as I've never been. read more

One of the best meal I had when I was on my Europe trip. Food is incredible and delicious. Staffs are friendly and owner of the restaurant is very nice. read more

Very chill ambiance and quaint spot in downtown Amsterdam. The food packed some great heat and flavor (chicken rezala). A bunch of different naans to select from and I also recommend a samosa for starters. read more

Was looking for good Indian food with family in Amsterdam- saw the reviews and gave it a try. Sure glad we did- this place is family owned with super authentic Indian food. I tried the Chicken Jalfrazi which was tender and flavorful and also the Lamb Biryani, Palak Paneer (Spinach) with Garlic Naan and Tandoori Roti were nice and crispy. Be warned - if you want Indian spicy they will do it authentic. Also good idea to make a reservation. read more

Heavan on earth! Seriously, i love indian food. It makes me happy but when i eat at a place where the spices kick you off your boots, smack you down w sweet goodness! Whoa im in heaven. I ordered the paneer masala! The fresh cardomon and otherthings i couldnt describe left me dreaming about this place. The portions were excellent in that food for one is just that. The naan was just enough for one person. Not that i dont love leftovers i think the quality was so good that they kept it at just enough for one person. I ordered flads of wine which was ok. I would have liked something more robust. Seriously thought 5 stars for paneer. Staff was also verynice!!! read more

Delicious naan, great service, and a quiet simple environment made this a nice dinner. Insanely fluffy jasmine rice, lots of vegetarian options, in a quiet neighborhood. read more

Indian food is some of my favorite and thus far the vindaloo is the best I have ever had. Beware, it's also the hottest/spiciest. I had sweat dripping down my shaved head, but couldn't stop eating. The mango lasso was great. The atmosphere is clean and welcoming. The staff friendly. read more

Amazinggg and incredibleee foood. I was walking by and found this place on a side street that i took by mistake. The person who took my order,not sure if owner or not, was sooo sweet and he provided best service i received in Amsterdamn. The found was beyond amazing..i had the lamb tikka and the spices and taste was a bliss from heaven. Thank you for such an amazing meal:) read more

Amazing service, and amazing food, I've never tasted probably such an authentic Indian food. I went there with couple of people and there was a copious amount of food. Helped fill my stomach and the quality of it as well as the preparation was spot on. Definitely would recommend! read more

when i think of indian food, i think of the food served by my dad's colleagues or restaurants in nyc and boston which are full of spices and textures. shahjahan's food is definitely not what comes to mind. first of all, the service: i like water. i like water A LOT. in fact, i'll take water over practically any drink, any day. the waitress was pissy about my request for water, in spite of my partner drinking other things. she showed her displeasure over and over again. second: the menu. we went to the veggie section, and there were two dishes with spinach & paneer with the exact same description in dutch and english. my partner and i stared at it, and decided on the dish which we didn't recognize. i turned out to be a creamy tomato soup with cheese cubes -- no sign of saag, sweet like canned campbell's tomato soup. third: the taste of the food was overly sweet. it might have been a localization i was not prepared for; it is not a set of flavors for people from big american cities used to more savory tastes. fourth: did i mention the service? we asked to take home the food we didn't finish. she said "take out, ok," and proceeded to pile the plates on top of each other. bitch. we should not have left as much tip as we did. i'd give it one star, but the space was clean and welcoming. i will not be back, tho. read more

Awesome place and most genuine Indian food. Love it. I am a regular here whenever I am in Amsterdam

Best indian food I've ever eaten! My friends and I actually wanted to try a Mexican restaurant around the corner, but they weren't open yet (Dinner not until 7? Strange). Hungry and determined, we stumbled upon this quaint looking restaurant in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. Both my friends were wary about indian food, given that it was their first time, and I wasn't looking to be impressed...I mean, how good could an indian restaurant be in Holland? OMG. Stereotypes be damned, it was very delicious. We all ordered the dinner for one and it was amazing how much food you got for 26 euros! We were so stuffed we practically had to waddle our way back towards de dam. Our server was quite kind and prompt. Also be sure to try the almond ice cream. It is wonderful. read more

Very good restaurant. I don't usually like palak paneer as most restaurants usually put just cream in it. This is the most authentic place for palak paneer, parantha and paneer butter masala. read more

Best Indian food outside India. Authentic flavors and spices. Highly recommend palak paneer, paneer butter masala, parathas and chai. All delicious! read more

Everything we had was delicious. The sample appetizer and a lamb dish with naan were a perfect dinner for us. Would definitely return.

The naan and the mango lassi was amazing and the butter chicken curry was good. The waitress was really nice. A bit expensive to my mind but I'll still come back read more

We had a great moment there. Meals were very good and the service was super friendly and polite.

Traditional Indian cuisine with particularly delicious curries. The combination of the spices is perfect. The naan is fresh and warm. The service is quick and polite. read more

We visited this restaurant on our last day in Amsterdam ... The food here was amazing and perfectly spiced ... The garlic naan was topped with not just garlic and butter but a nice mixture of masalas too ... We loved palak paneer the most and would recommend everyone to try it ... Also the restaurant has a nice collection of delicacies on menu !!! (Note: ask them to spice things just like in India) read more

Was in a day trip to Amsterdam. I had a lamb briyaani and it was very good. I tried many so-called Indian restaurants outside india (vegas and ny). This briyaani / food was so good. This looks like a family owned restaurant with a professional chef. So that might be a reason that I felt the food tasted like Indian. Owner was friendly and food came bit delayed. May be I was so hungry and went there like 5pm sharp. If you are travelling from India and visiting Amsterdam and I am sure you wont miss Indian taste. Must visit here. read more

The best Indian food I have eaten. We were walking around looking for a spot to eat, and figured Indian food wasn't a bad idea on a cold night. Best decision we've made lately! We had the appetizer sampler (Shahjahan platter), and each item was delicious. For our main courses, we took the advice from our server and each had a chicken dish (chicken tikka rezala and chicken tikka bhuna). Both were absolutely amazing. The garlic naan was more garlicky than I'm used to (my husband loved it though), but I ordered the onion naan, and was very pleased. I usually devour the naan, but it was almost an afterthought to the meal, because the main dishes were so good. We left very full, and very satisfied!! On a four day trip to Amsterdam, and I plan on returning before we leave! read more
