About the restaurant

Where vegetables lead and memories follow!

Amsterdam City Farm is a modern tasting room where Indian roots meet creative, vegetable-forward cooking.

Led by Devinder, our menu is inspired by childhood memories and reimagined with a seasonal, sustainable approach, bringing warmth, story, and flavour to every plate.

For dinner, we present four-, five-, and six-course tasting menus, each inspired by the comforting flavours of Devinder’s memories growing up.

 

About the menu

Every dish is shaped by curiosity, care, and a close connection to nature. We explore ingredients, flavours, and techniques in ways that feel both inventive and grounded, with vegetables at the centre of every plate. Our seasonal menu evolves continuously, balancing contemporary expression with a quiet sense of refinement.

Inspired by the simple, soulful meals Devinder grew up with, prepared with love by her mum and bibi (granny), the cooking carries a sense of warmth and memory. It’s about creating dishes that feel familiar in spirit, yet new in form — food that resonates, comforts, and lingers.

Our menu is not tied to any one region. India’s diversity is vast, and we draw from its many influences while working closely with the seasons and local produce.

For dinner, we present four-, five-, and six-course tasting menus.

Each menu can be complemented with a wine pairing or enjoyed alongside selections from our curated drinks list.

 

About Devinder

(Head Chef)

I grew up with a deep curiosity for food, always sitting on the kitchen counter, watching my mum and bibi (granny) prepare simple, soulful meals. I loved learning about every ingredient and method, eager to help in any way I could. As I grew older, I found myself in the corporate world, but the love for cooking never left me.

At our Tasting Room & Restaurant, my focus is on bringing the kind of food I grew up eating, the dishes my mum and granny would cook. It’s about taking those comforting childhood flavours and elevating them, giving them a gentle lift while keeping them warm and familiar.

Over the years, Tim and I have traveled extensively, exploring fine dining and different cuisines. That experience sparked the idea of blending the depth and nuance of Indian flavours with the creativity and elegance of modern dining.

When the opportunity arose to open our own tasting room and restaurant, I decided it was time to leave behind an 18-year career and bring this vision to life. Our menu is built around seasonal vegetables, which is important to us, and we aim to offer food that’s homey, simple, but is served in a more refined way.

 

The founders

Hey there! We’re Devinder & Tim - the duo behind this little Tasting Room & Restaurant of ours. What started as a fun little ginger beer experiment in our home kitchen somehow bubbled (literally) into a full-blown Tasting Room & Restaurant. Who knew fermentation could lead to this?

We always wanted to create a place that felt like stepping into someone’s (very flavourful) living room, warm, welcoming, and just a little bit unexpected. So we rolled up our sleeves, put on our aprons (okay, just Devinder), and poured our hearts into it.

Devinder’s in the kitchen, working her magic and turning childhood food memories into vegetable-packed wonders. Meanwhile, Tim’s your go-to guy for good vibes, great stories, and making sure your glass of wine, cocktail or ginger beer never runs dry.

This place? It’s us. Every corner, every plate, every playlist, it’s a mix of both of us. One of us might be behind the stove and the other behind the bar, but Amsterdam City Farm only works because we’re in it together. It’s a two-person dance, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Basically, we’re just two people who love food, flavour, and making people feel good. And we can’t wait to welcome you in.
