Norling

Cute little place the chicken curry was delicious and the creamy potatoes were amazing.

Yes the service is slow but food is awesome. It is my first time with tibetian food.
I strongly suggest to order lamp meet with sauce.

Amazing, amazing vegetarian food — though they also have meat dishes.
The stir fried noodles are to die for! Creamy lentil stew with steamed rice is another hit.
Finish it off with a delicious cheesecake.
Heaven!
It is a 5 minute walk from Rembrantplein

Great place, service was great. Food was delicious. Ordered Chicken Curry which was absolutely delicious.

Wow! Everything was lovely. The service was attentive and helpful. All the advice was accurate. The flavors were rich, pure and also subtle. The butter tea is lovely, but I like ethnic flavors. Please go here for dinner. It is truly a unique experience and a gift to your palette.

We saw this place closed at 11pm, and managed to arrive around 10.20pm. We walked in and was seated somewhat reluctantly. We were quickly told that we couldn’t order starters because they closed soon. We were very hungry and didn’t want to trek around looking for an alternative so agreed that this would be fine.
There was nobody else in the restaurant, so I can sympathise it can he frustrating when a table comes in this late, but don’t have an open door and then be surprised when someone walks in.
Perhaps the waitress noticed how taken aback we were by this abrupt welcome because from this point she was super nice. She also added that we could have starters if we ordered them together. Which of course we did!
The food was great, really tasty and did not taste rushed. The food quality is really where this rating earns 4*. Had the welcome been warmer and the house white wine been better quality to match the food, I would have rated 5* no problem. I would return to this restaurant if I was in the area again.

Food: exceptional — to pick out a few favorites, the lamb chilli, creamy potatoes and tibetan bread were equally surprising and delectable
Service: transparent and attentive — keen to point out where you can save on a set menu and an especially warm and mindful approach to service
Décor: fresh — you are not going to feel like you are eating in tibet pure, but you will eat in a particularly clean and honest setting

Food is OK, but they do not accept credit card from America! I have been 5 days in Amsterdam and this is the first restaurant that does not have the capacity for this.

Go figure. For the past two years, the best restaurant I’ve eaten at in Amsterdam is Tibetan?! Absolutely. This is a must stop on anyone’s Amsterdam journey especially if exploring non-​Continental food.
Norling is in the city center, Centrum, on Reguliersdwarsstraat, the heart of one of Amsterdam’s prime gay areas. Consequently, there is a lot of foot traffic and reservations are advised as Norling is getting popular with Dutch and visitors.
This is NOT Chinese food even though China claims Tibet as theirs. Tibetan (or Tibetaans in Dutch) food is Himalayan, similar to Nepalese.
Every dish I’ve eaten used fresh ingredients, was perfectly cooked and not too salty. All were colorful and beautifully plated. Many of Norling’s dishes offer interchangeable proteins such as beef, chicken, lamb, pork, shrimp or vegetarian. The curries are freshly made and fully flavorful. Dal is wonderful too! You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, so be adventurous.
Cap your meal with espresso and Licor 43 over ice for the perfect ending.
Norling is a small restaurant on two floors but it is not a hole-​in-​the-​wall. The interior is artful, modern, intimate and clean. Service from the waitresses and bartender is warm and always with smiles.

One of the best meals ever! The chef and owner prepared the food from fresh ingredients. Highly recommended!

Hingehen, entspannen, genießen und glücklich raus kommen. Wir waren zur 6 da und es war wirklich toll. Wir hatten noch nie tibetisch gegessen und die 2 nette und angenehme Kellnern haben sich die Zeit genommen um uns alles zu erklären. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefüllt.
Es gibt eine Formel ab 3. Personen mit einer Flasche Hauswein, Vorspeise, Hauptspeise und Dessert und es ist wirklich super. Das essen ist gut gewürzt aber nicht zu scharf und sehr lecker. Auf jeden fall zu empfehlen bei einem Besuch in Amsterdam

Fantastic little Tibetan restaurant who deserves the best score. I loved the location, the restaurant is really small and the interiour is a tasteful mix of old and new. The food was marvellous and really, really tasty. I loved the chicken curry with fried rice! The wine of the house was excellent, so was the dessert. And it was not at all expensive, about 75 € for two starters, two main courses, two desserts, two espressos, four glasses of wine and still water. The food is all made in the restaurant from fresh ingredients. And the staff is really helpful and service-​minded. 100% recommended, thank you for a lovely evening :)
