Pakwaan Indian Grill & Streetfood

Pakwaan is an Indian grill and street food restaurant on Rembrandtweg in Amstelveen. Under the motto "Tradition Meets Quality", Pakwaan brings the flavours of the Indian subcontinent to Amstelveen. You can dine inside in a cosy interior or outdoors on the terrace.

Indian street food from Delhi to Nepal
Street food at Pakwaan brings classics from the street to Amstelveen, such as chhole bhature from Delhi: chickpeas with onion, tomato and spices, served with fried leavened flatbread. The menu also features pani puri, crispy hollow puffs filled with a sweet, spicy and tangy juice and
chutneys, and aloo tikki with yoghurt, mint and tamarind. The momos come from Nepal: steamed or fried dumplings filled with vegetables or chicken.

From the tandoor and the curry menu
The grill at Pakwaan is built around the tandoor, the Indian clay oven. It turns out tandoori chicken, lamb chops in a yoghurt marinade, tandoori prawns and paneer tikka, or try a bit of everything with the mixed grill. The naan comes from the tandoor too, from garlic naan to Peshawari naan with sultanas, almonds and coconut. Among the curries at Pakwaan you will find North Indian classics such as butter chicken and dal tadka, as well as pahari chicken from the Himalayas and curries made with goat. There are also biryanis with fragrant basmati rice, and for dessert gulab jamun, gajar ka halwa or homemade kulfi, including a mango version.

Vegetarians are spoilt for choice at Pakwaan, with separate vegetarian starters, street food, curries and grill dishes. Paneer, homemade Indian cheese, features in plenty of dishes, as does soya chaap from the clay oven.

Bar, terrace and catering
Pakwaan has a bar serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and is open seven days a week from late afternoon. Pakwaan also caters for events, from birthdays, anniversaries and holidays to a business lunch at the office.
