Experience Ideal Indian Food Delivery in Amsterdam-Oost

Amsterdam-Oost has become one of the city's best places to eat, and one of its most demanding audiences. Between the Indische Buurt, Watergraafsmeer and Science Park, this is a district full of people not easily impressed by a reheated curry.
That's the bar we hold ourselves to. Every dish at Saffron Haveli is made fresh when you order it, every naan comes straight out of a clay oven, and the whole menu top to bottom is halal. This guide walks through how our Indian food delivery in Amsterdam-Oost actually works, and which dishes hold up best on the way to you.

Oost is one of the most varied districts in the city.

Park Frankendael in Watergraafsmeer offers formal gardens and a quieter, more residential feel.

How Does Our Delivery Process Work in Amsterdam-Oost?

Step 1: Place your order. Order through the online system on our website, or call +31 20 370 6854 or +31 6 10923108.
Step 2: Confirm your postcode. Amsterdam-Oost covers a wide area, from the Indische Buurt out to IJburg. Confirm your address so we can give you an accurate delivery time for your part of the district rather than a generic estimate.
Step 3:  Set spice and dietary preferences. Mild, medium, or hot on any dish. Everything we cook is halal, and our vegetarian range runs to sixteen mains.
Step 4:  We cook it fresh. Nothing is batch-cooked and reheated. Your curry is finished when your order comes in, and breads go into the tandoor last so they leave hot.
Step 5:  Sealed, packed and sent. Curries travel in sealed 650cl boxes, rice in 500cl boxes and biryanis in 750cl boxes, with breads wrapped separately.
Our kitchen is at Ambachtenstraat 46, 1191 JN Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, just south of the city. Collection is always available if you would rather pick up your order.

Which Dishes Are Best-Selling in Amsterdam-Oost?

Butter Chicken: The one people order most, everywhere, not just here. Mild, creamy, hard to get wrong if you've got a table with mixed tastes; this is your safe bet.
Chicken Tikka Masala: Chicken that's been through the tandoor first, then finished in a spiced tomato masala. That bit of smoky char is really what lifts it above a regular curry.
Saffron Special Biryani: Basmati layered up with lamb, chicken and prawns, all slow-cooked with saffron, served with raita on the side. Chicken Biryani, Lamb Biryani and Veg Biryani are all built the same way, just built around a different main ingredient.
Lamb Rogan Josh: Lamb, slow-cooked into a gravy that's deep and properly aromatic. Order it with Lacha Paratha if you can.
Palak Paneer and Paneer Butter Masala: These two are what most people go for on the vegetarian side. Kadhai Paneer, Malai Kofta and Dal Makhani aren't far behind them.
Chicken 65 and Chilli Chicken: These fly out the door faster than anything else on the starters list, along with Samosa, Onion Bhaji and Masala Fries.
Garlic Naan and Cheese Naan: Our best-selling breads.
Gulab Jamun and Mango Lassi: the standard way to finish.
If you are new to Indian food delivery in Amsterdam-Oost, start with Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, Jeera Rice, and a Samosa from our menu. It is the order we would put in ourselves.
