Miri Mary Amsterdam: Bold Indian Flavours in De Pijp

A Terrace Worth Lingering On

Miri Mary sits right on one of De Pijp's most beautiful squares, and their terrace makes full use of it. It's spacious, relaxed, and perfect for a long lunch or dinner as the neighbourhood buzzes around you. That said, the interior might be even cosier — warm lighting, earthy tones, an atmosphere that makes you want to stay for another round. Whether you grab a spot outside or tuck yourself in at a corner table inside, both feel like the right choice. The staff are warm, attentive, and clearly proud of what they're serving — great service without any pretension, which always makes the experience.

Dishes From All Over India on One Menu

The concept at Miri Mary is what makes it special: they bring together dishes from across India — from the spice-forward south to the rich, creamy north — and serve them as sharing plates. The menu feels both familiar and genuinely surprising. We started with the Malai Broccoli (€18), and it immediately set the tone for the whole meal. The flavours were extravagant — smoky, deeply spiced, and layered in a way you rarely encounter. Then came the butter chicken (Murg Makhani, €24 for the large portion) with naan and rice, which is exactly everything you want it to be. For drinks, the coconut-based option was a standout — you could actually taste the herbs infused into it, making it something truly refreshing and distinctive. Bold, unapologetic flavour is clearly Miri Mary's signature, and they deliver on it with every single dish.
