Perfect!!! Amazing food, staff, ambiance! Why anyone would place this with low ratings is absurd! Not spicy unless you want it to be. Best Indian food we have had in Europe so far. Not excessive portions. Perfect!

Wow!! This is what you call a Nepalese restaurant! Very recommendable! Friendly staff, great food... Spend a few hours here. Everything goes very easy... 🙏

I had the pleasure of dining at this fine establishment, and I wholeheartedly recommend going here. Upon entering the owner offered to take our coats and when we left they were brought back to us even though we could have fetched them ourselves. The food itself was really delicious right from the starter to the dessert. As a starter, I had the deep fried cauliflower, which for me was the first time, but definitely not the last. Main course was daal bhat, which consisted of a variety of small bowls meaning you got to taste a bunch of different thing. Finally, the dessert was the traditional ice-cream kulfi served with chopped nuts. We were the last to leave for the night, and the owner came up to our table and started chatting with us regarding our experience at the restaurant and some extra information and anecdotes about the menu. The restaurant is set in an old wooden house, which combined with the interior gives a warm and cozy feeling. All around, we felt very welcome and if we one day go to Zaandam again, we will definitely return to this restaurant as well.

We had an amazing outside dining experience with a mix of dishes from India and Nepal. Service was great and food quality amazing!

Visited Kathmandu a few times now and the food is absolutely delicious. We love the mix platter appetizers and the butter chicken as the main dish is very good. We tried several platters and the food is very tasty. This is a family business and the whole family is very kind to us and we are treated more than well every time. The service is outstanding. We will be visiting again soon.

There are not too many Indian restaurants in this region, and I have tried most, but this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Relatively simple menu and with all the dishes you expect. However, sometimes there may be alternative versions available, which are not listed! So ask and let yourselves be surprised. Loved the lassis too. Regarding some other reviews: I have notified Google. Obviously all most all 1 star reviews are fake and a conflict of interest. The 1 star reviewers only review 2 restaurants. This one (1 star) and another Indian restaurant (5 stars). So sad so pathetic! this restaurant is obviously a victim of a lot of fake reviews. I hope Google takes action. Please don’t mind those fake 1 str reviews and pay attention to the real (and detailed) reviews. Recommended!!!

Absolutely delicious! Amazing people! Beautiful place. You have to try it.

Go for the Nepali dishes and you will not be disappointed - the dal bhaat and Tandoori mix platter were both great, as were the breads (naan and roti). The restaurant oozes old world charm with the wonderful painted tiles, wooden furnishing and tasteful "Desi" decor elements.

Absolutely amazing restaurant! It's the best Indian I've been so far from a friend's recommendation. Dishes are delicate and balanced. The cooking is perfectly done. Spices and tastes are all coming together.This place is a wonder. We will definitely be happy to go back again.

Today we had a very good dinner here. we ordered Butter chicken. It was outstanding. The starter was outstanding too, especially the Tandoori Mixed Grill were perfect. All other dishes we ordered Nepalese dish were very good too. The plain Nan bread and the Peshwari Nan bread were fresh made and not too thick. We liked it very much. Surely we will come again.

Kathmandu Kitchen is an authentic tour through south Central Asia / India sub continental cuisine. From naan with a a Peshwari twist, to butter curry style fish - to veg dishes that pull spices from north to south & warm the soul. The crown jewel - from a culinary perspective - is the meat. The chicken was DELICIOUS - but… the lamb. Next level. What binds all of this awesomeness together - and distinguishes it to receive 5 stars - is the service. On a busy 2de kerstdag (boxing day) evening - the front of house (all family it seemed) didn’t miss a beat. Kind, fun, engaging & respectful (in terms of not being “too much”). We have ordered delivery from Kathmandu Kitchen several times before - so glad we chose to reserve a table tonight. Next level. Thanks.

Their chefs cook perfect authentic India food. They don't have same gravy/sauce for every dish. Price is very reasonable because in return you get tasty well-cooked amazing food in Zaandam

Nice atmosphere. The food is always very good. Best place in ZaanseSchans area. The most succulent lamb Curry, absolutely delicious and also enjoyed the background music. The food was delicious.

After 90 minutes of watching the busy restaurant life from an improvised, questionably designed for eating spot, we decided that enough is enough and asked the staff if there is an issue with preparing our main dishes or shall we just pay for the starters (which we had to eat unconfortably) and go. Miraculously, one minute later a table was found and the dishes arrived . They apologized and blamed kings day, but didn't think that this incident justifies any kind of compensation - so maybe it's quite common phenomenon when eating there after all. The food itself was fine, but defenitely not justifying this unique experience unless all the other places around are closed. Thank you, Kathmandu, for reminding us that some meals don't deserve a tip .

One of the best dining experiences for our family. We love the setting, location of the restaurant with a view to the Zaanse river, unfortunate since we missed that view on our last dining experience. The ambiance is so cozy with a nice blend of history and modernity. The service is amazing and special compliment to the manager/owner of the place. Finally, food is so nice that it really touches one's heart. This must mean the cook is devoted to his cooking and the food he delivers to his customers. Food is also arranged in a way that pleases the eyes. We will definitely be a regular at the Kathmandu kitchen.

The food was surprisingly yummy. And the price is good too. So was the service. My friends brought me there and we had a good time enjoying our dinner and catching up. My friends suggested that if I can't finish everything, bring home and stir fry the leftover. And that's what I did. Leftovers never tasted so good before. I will definitely be happy to go back again. 😋😋😋

Absolutely yummy and authentic Nepali and Indian food served with unmatched hospitality. The rich history of the restaurant building is the cherry on the top. Works perfectly for a romantic date or family dine out. I will surely visit again.

We have been to Zaanse Kathmandu Kitchen on March 6 Friday. The quality of the food is good. Staff are very polite and helpful, must need to wait for the service as the restaurant is always quite busy. Dessert tropical delight was really nice . Prices are affordable and also reasonable.

good Indian food, we stumbled upon after lunch on any Monday while visiting the mills I was pleasantly surprised, I would recommend it good local and excellent cleaning and management

Favourite Indian restaurant in Zaanstad, the food and service is fantastic. The flavours are incredible and good worth for money. Absolutely loved this place and would come back again.

🇮🇳 Visiting Zaanse Kathmandu Kitchen is beyond a culinary experience but a memorable activity to do when in Amsterdam. ✍️ Especially since they are featured in Gault&Millau and Thuisbezorgd’s 2023 restaurant nominations and Tripadvisor’s Traveler’s Choice list. They offer a delightful fusion of Indian and Nepalese flavors in a charming historical setting. 🏠 Its proximity to Amsterdam makes it an ideal addition to your itinerary when visiting Zaandam and the windmills, allowing you to explore the rich history of “De Waakzaamheid” - the oldest wooden catering building in The Netherlands. 👨🏽‍🍳 Led by the skilled hands of Chef Khem Sapkota, the menu boasts a tempting array of authentic dishes. The chef’s expertise in using genuine herbs and spices elevates each dish. We chose the 3-course menu and loved it! 🧡The attentive service enhanced our enjoyment, while the interior, adorned with beautiful elements from Indian and Nepali culture, created a warm and inviting atmosphere. Historical fragments inside such as ancient Dutch tiles and old coins discovered added a fascinating touch.

The food was delicious. Everything we ordered smelled so good and the taste was amaaaazing. Also the place looks so hygienic. All the staffs are super friendly and welcoming. Perfect place for a good and healthy meal.

Beautiful restaurant in monument building. We had butter chicken and momo

“ Outstanding food and service was amazing” Seven of us went yesterday and had 3 courses each. We all said we would go again as it was excellent value! Thank you very much.

What a beautiful place! Highly recommended, also for people from Amsterdam to travel here. The food is of course at the center, but the almost 400-year old building is beautifully renovated and a real monument. The food is so inspired, so much attention to detail, the flavours and textures so balanced. Must come back!

A great dining experience accompanied by wonderful service! Definitely a place to try when visiting the area.

Amazing food and good service. Definitely recommend

The food was amazing!!! the service was great and even the relaxing background music was nice. If you want to try some good indian food this is the place for you

(Translated by Google) “Delicious eaten the lentil soup is also excellent .. very clean toilets very important .. I will definitely come back We had a reservation was also necessary case was quite full (Original) “Heerlijk gegeten de linzensoep is ook voortreffelijk..hele schone toiletten heel belangrijk..Ik kom zeker weer terug We hadden gereserveerd was ook wel nodig zaak zat best vol

The place is so good it's been branching out to Amsterdam and Bevervijk but this is the original Kathmandu Kitchen. Heartwarming food and great owner. They always try to accommodate special wishes / if possible will make a dish that is not on the menu. I love their momos in spicy soup. Be specific when you order if you mean spicy Asian level or spicy European level - these are quite different! If unsure choose the milder option - you can always ask for chilli or sambal to spice it up later!

(Translated by Google) Very tasty food! We order here with some regularity, because it works well. A mistake on delivery once. Just contacted by phone and it was rectified in 10 minutes. Very neat. Note: Spicy is really spicy !!! So not spicy = a bit spicy. Medium spicy = Very spicy. (Original) Erg lekker eten! Wij bestellen hier met enige regelmaat, omdat het goed bevalt. Een foutje bij de bezorging een keer. Even telefonisch contact opnemen en het werd in 10 min. rechtgezet. Heel netjes. Let op: Pittig is écht pittig!!! Dus niet pittig = beetje pittig. Medium pittig = Heel pittig.

I order here online on Thuisbezorgd almost every day. Very nice and tasty food, portions are very big, delivery is always fast and on time. I really recommend it!

Perfect! Amazing food, staff & ambiance! Not very spicy unless you want it to be. Best Indian food we have had in Europe so far. Not excessive portions. Perfect!

(Translated by Google) It was everything I expected and more! It all looked super nice, friendly staff and the food was really delicious !! Rice table is must to try. (Original) Het was alles wat ik verwachtte en nog veel meer! Het zag er allemaal super mooi uit, vriendelijk personeel en het eten was echt heerlijk!! Rijsttafel is must om te proberen.

Just picked up a takeaway and the whole family loved it. Amazing lamb tikka masala and very good portion size. The service was excellent and owner very attentive. Give it a go

(Translated by Google) First time ordered.Good info by neat gentleman.The food was spacious enough and delicious. If we are allowed to go again we will let ourselves be spoiled there. (Original) Eerste keer besteld.Goede info door nette heer.Het eten was ruim genoeg en heerlijk. Als we weer mogen gaan we ons daar laten verwennen.

Unfortunately, the waiting time for our food was way too long, which basically ruined a good evening. (45 minutes to a 1st course and 45 between 1st and 2nd.There doesn't seem to be any system in place, staff running to and fro, very chaotic. I had 2 glasses of Sauvingon Blanc before they ran out. A real pity, because the food was quite good.

Food Quality: Quality of food is good Service: Good and humble staff Taste: My expectation was different from what was presented to me! The breads are good. However, the taste of vegetarian food is not up to mark. Request to restaurant to work on taste of food and use proper ingredients for same.

Honestly don’t understand how this restaurant is highly rated. Food delivery took 90+ minutes. Asked for Chicken Tikka Masala but received butter chicken. Mixed vegetable curry is so sad looking that I can’t reconcile paying 15.5 euros for it. Maybe I am the unfortunate one who has gotten bad food from this restaurant while everyone else lucked out.

Location and food was good. Although, portions are too small. We got one piece of vegetables curry only for 2 people, while we ordered two main courses. Half a naan per person too, instead of one each person. For the same prices you can eat somewhere else where you get more. I hope the restaurant will change this and will make sure for a better price-quality balance.

We are really thankful to the owner who waited after 11 pm. So we could reach there and pick up our dinner. Also, the food tasted really amazing.

(Translated by Google) My family and I had all ordered different dishes. It was all delicious! Beforehand, I contacted the branch manager to discuss the vegan options. He was very helpful and, above all, very friendly. There were many vegan options. I don't see that often at restaurants, so that was very nice. All in all, I am very satisfied. I will definitely eat here again! Recommended. (Original) Mijn familie en ik hadden allemaal verschillende gerechten besteld. Het was stuk voor stuk heerlijk!
