About Kessariya

The ambiance at Kessariya carries a subtle warmth that complements the rich tapestry of Indian spices represented on the menu. Muted lighting and simple decor contribute to a relaxed dining environment, steering clear of overly ornate themes often found in similar establishments. Observing the flow of staff reveals attentiveness, though peak hours occasionally stretch waiting times. The balance between traditional and contemporary influences in the dishes shows in the way each plate arrives with carefully considered flavor combinations. Some diners might note that while portions are generous, a few items verge on familiar rather than adventurous, which aligns with the preferences seen in many positive Kessariya reviews.

Exploring offerings beyond the usual staples uncovers an intriguing variety that includes regional specialties less commonly found in the Netherlands. The kitchen’s execution tends to prioritize clarity of spices over overwhelming heat, a choice that caters well to a broad audience. Snippets of feedback and photos shared online help in setting expectations about presentation and pace, reinforcing the experience as consistent with what one might anticipate from an Indian restaurant aiming for authenticity with a modern touch. Prices hover around mid-range, reflecting the quality of ingredients, though some may debate value depending on portion size versus the rising competition in Almere's evolving culinary scene.

Unexpected moments, like the arrival of a well-spiced appetizer or the subtle char of naan freshly baked off the tandoor, highlight the delicate craftsmanship behind the scenes. Conversations at neighboring tables often reference the reliability of this dining spot when seeking comfort food without surprises. Kessariya’s approach appears thoughtful yet restrained, inviting return visits for those who appreciate classic flavors with occasional creative flourishes. While not every dish achieves memorable distinction, the overall impression leaves room for interest, and the blend of familiar and niche choices on the menu keeps the experience engaging without feeling routine.

This is the best Indian food I have ever had. The flavors are really good, deep and very different from each others. The spicy level is very tolerable. The service is cordial and friendly, almost like familiar treatment. You can’t leave without indulging yourself with a mango lassi.

A Scot doing Indian in Holland. I thought I was visiting a well established restaurant, with many years behind it. Instead I find a fledgling business opened mere weeks. The food served was among some of the very best Indian cuisine I have tasted, and believe me, I’ve tasted a lot. I had the Tandoori Chicken to start. Perfectly flavoured pieces of melt in the mouth chicken, beautifully presented. I followed this with Chicken Vindaloo, accompanied by Chicken Biriyani. The vindaloo was the perfect balance of heat and texture, with chicken that was perfectly cooked and meat falling from the bone. The biryani arrived steaming hot and impacting a wonderful aroma. It too was delicious. The service was perfect and very prompt, all directed by the very competent and proud Kritika If you find yourself in Central Almere, and are looking for fantastic Indian food, look no further. You will not be disappointed. 10/10

This place is so cosy, great ambiance, friendly staff, good quantity & most important quality. Gt a chance to talk to new owner Mr.Sumit. He is a real gentleman & humble personality. He is sparing time despite of busy restaurant & talking to customers to understand their specific requirements. Management has changed. New chef is especially from the core of North India ( Punjab) & South Indian chef is simply awesome. He makes as per typical South Indian taste. Those who are carving for typical North Indian cuisine then this is the place. Just tell while placing the order that what kind of spice level you want & they will customise as per your taste buds. For garlic naan I don't have words to express so fresh & soft. You can see freshly chopped garlic on top with tons of melting butter yummylicious flavour Gonna visit again soon. Highly recommended
