Great food.. Chicken Tikka & Tandoori Nan along with Mutton Rogan Josh- Excellent. Not top hot nor sweet unlike other Indian restaurants in Europe. And of course Mango Lassi is a must try here.

We really loved te food here and the staff were very kind and polite. It was busy though and we got a table in the midst of the walking route, that gave a lot of distraction. Nevertheless, we would love to come back here (on a weekday).

The food was really disappointing. It tasted like supermarket curries. We took butter chicken and tikka masala they both tasted same.

Haven’t had a great Indian for a long time, Not since leaving the UK. Atithi was an oasis, really great food, lovely staff. Nice decor - down to earth but a quality experience. Restaurant was full of Indian customers, so a good sign that the food is worth coming for. Will definitely come again the next time we are in Rotterdam!

Amazing food! Its really really good. The atmosphere is somewhat lacking due to the very bright light. Staff speaks English and service can be a little slow. If it’s busy it’s really loud. But all of this is no big deal because the food is that good.

Nice friendly staff, especially the Bangla lady who was surprised and happy to finally be able to speak bengali mothertongue with her guests. Khu Vhalo! Thanks for giving us a nice Dipavali! ????

The food is great, but it's overpriced (the drinks are very expensive as well). Friendly staff and a homely atmosphere.

The first time I went I refrained myself from writing a review but both of us were incredibly upset by the absolute below par 'service' this restaurant offers. The looks you are given like you're asking them to do you a favour that majorly inconveniences them. They seem irritated just while taking your order and the fun part is that they do not ask any logical questions a server should ask like "Would you like sides with that?" No, it's up to you to ask if you can have something as logical as a naan or they just bring you your main course plainly. That's just an example that again had overlap yesterday but yesterday had a whole new series of upsetting events. We weren't seated for 15 minutes or hot sticky chai was knocked over on the table where I was seated and how casual they did about that even though I was barely hit with the hot beverage, I didn't even get any concern nor apologies for that. The way they cleaned up the table was just with paper towels. No wet cloth or anything. Resulting in of course a sticky table on my side all evening. They took away all affected silverware and such bút didn't replace ány of them. So I was again left to my own devices to ask back some items myself like a fork and a glass for water. And again, my requests were treated like I was asking the world from them. I was stared at in a way like "Why are you asking me? Why are you acting like I should be doing that for you?". During the starter and the time around it, nobody walked by to ask if we would like another drink or anything and then the opposite happened during our main constantly being badgered if we needed anything while just having been asked and then at some point about 5 times we were asked while we were obviously still eating if we were done. Like they wanted to rush us and get us out even though in my reservation I had clearly had requested as has been put as a note to do so on their site if one would want that to stay until closing time (which was approved through email) and it was nowhere near closing time. When our main arrived, a server silently put everything down without saying a word and walked off. No explanation on what's what and that was confusing since the curry for 3 of the 4 of us was the exact same colour. I'm Indian myself and I couldn't discern the dishes at all. So I called back the man who served the dishes and he said himself he didn't know for sure either so he called over the lady who I've had the most negative encounters with during both experiences even though I had not done anything to evoke such treatment. She walked up to our table with the guy and said "Yes?" Again pretty agitated without any follow-up question and it was just the most rude approach ever. So I stared at her thinking she would follow that up with a question at least but she just looked at me like I was occupying her for nothing. So baffled to my core, I tried to politely ask again if we could be told which dish is what. That was done but the road to get there was just so unnecessary. And then to the main point of irritation. In our reservation, I had emphasised that we were there for the birthday of one of our friends as to do something a little special for him. I was responded to with the acknowledgement of our friend's birthday and all I said in my reservations was noted, implying something at least would be done for it like many restaurants do. Now yes, it should not be assumed every restaurant does so, however, with the response I was given one would think some kind of a special birthday thing would be done. Especially since my request included something along the lines of "He's the only brown guy at the table so you wouldn't be able to miss him, haha," Responding to that that all I said has been noted instead of "We don't do any extras for birthdays, unfortunately." Would make one think some arrangements were in place. Especially since I made the reservation one month in advance. Nothing was done and everyone was left with this sense of awkward coldness during and after we left. One of us without any push of others said he had never experienced a dining experience with service this bad. And that's incredibly concerning as we've had student standards in previous years. The saddest part I feel is that the food is quite good and tastes really authentic. It pains me even because I will never set foot into this restaurant ever again due to the horrible service. And I haven't even fully spoken about my first experience. It's a shame because the chef can get my compliments all day everyday but the other staff is ruining it gigantically for me. I was not surprised that on a Friday there were big tables empty despite the food being great. You feel cold and agitated during and after your dining experience and who really wants that? It had made our conversations awkward many times as well. I'm just disappointed. What should be a fun birthday celebration was only fun due to our own selves (trying to uplift the situation many times again) and the quality of cooking. Will not be going back. This friend of ours never celebrates his birthday and so we wanted to have this be a first and this was not how we had envisioned it. No apologies, no nothing. Just left with a bad taste in our mouths, not from the cooking.

Very welcoming, super good service and delicious food. What more do you want if you love indian food :) Besides that, they serve you a sweet delicious cake of the house if it's a birthday celebration.

Location was good. Tables are generally small. Took time to bring the first item to the table. Food was just about ok in quantity. The taste was not sufficient. Wasn't spicy enough leading to a feel that we should have asked for Indian spicy at the start. Would have expected a white table cloth, but instead it was just on the table. The cutlery was placed directly on the table.

The food itself was of great quality. Our “head” waiter was really friendly and informing us well about the different selections. However the staff could not handle the amount of guests and there were great delays in service ( drinks did not arrive at all)

The taste was average, but after hearing a lot af microwave pings we felt a bit fooled. The chicken was flaming hot on the bone but warmish on the outside with the wet microwaved fluids next to it. The minced lamb was not overal warm and a bit rubbery. The butter chicken was okay, a bit sweet. Would we go again? Sure, when it's 50% off or when there's another offer. It's not really worth the full price.

The Food was ok. We needed to wait more than 1 h to get our starter. And we were not the only ones. All people was wondering where their food was. After eating when we were leaving they told us sorry for the delay they where short of personal.
