The Lunch Menu — Sharing Plates Worth the Trip

Amsterdam has no shortage of lunch spots. But if you're looking for a lunch restaurant in De Pijp that does something genuinely different — not another grain bowl, not another smashed avocado — Miri Mary is the answer. We cook Indian. And we cook it properly.

The format is sharing plates. Dishes arrive as they're ready, the table fills up, and the conversation does the rest. It's the way lunch should work.

Butter Chicken Benny Must Order

Toasted brioche, spiced chicken tikka, pickled onions, a poached egg, makhani sauce poured over the top. People come back specifically for this. Order it first.

Chole Kulcha VV

Slow-cooked spiced chickpeas and soft, slightly charred kulcha bread. Our vegetarian centrepiece — deeply savoury and genuinely filling.

Goan Ros Omelette

A folded omelette cooked with Goan coconut ros curry sauce. Smoky, coastal, warming. A completely different register from anything else on the table.

Lunch Thaali First Visit

A curated spread of multiple dishes on a single platter. If it's your first time at Miri Mary, this is how you start. You get the whole story in one sitting.

Saag Kucla VV GF

Creamy spiced greens with kucla bread. Earthy, rich, and completely plant-based. One of the most satisfying things on the menu for anyone not eating meat.

Tip: The full lunch menu rotates seasonally. What's on this page represents our permanent signatures — check the website for current specials before you visit.

De Pijp — Amsterdam's Best Neighbourhood for Lunch

We're at Van der Helstplein 15H — a quiet square in De Pijp, about two minutes on foot from Albert Cuyp Market. If you're doing the market on a Saturday morning (and you should be), we're the natural follow-up. Walk the stalls, pick up some fresh produce, then come and let someone else do the cooking.

De Pijp is Amsterdam at its best. Creative, diverse, genuinely neighbourhood rather than tourist-area. The food scene here is taken seriously by people who know where to eat. Sarphatipark is five minutes away on foot — good for a post-lunch walk when the weather cooperates.

From central Amsterdam, tram lines 3 and 12 put us about 15 minutes away. From the Rijksmuseum or Museumplein, it's a 10-minute ride. There's a reason De Pijp regulars call it their neighbourhood — once you find your spot here, you don't wander far.

Looking for lunch in De Pijp? We're a 2-minute walk from Albert Cuyp Market at Van der Helstplein 15H. Reach us on +31 20 227 9886 or book a table online at mirimary.com.

Drinks, Cocktails and the Bar

Lunch at Miri Mary isn't just about the food. The bar runs through the whole service. During lunch hours you can order brunch cocktails, mocktails, wine or craft beer alongside the sharing plates.

The Bloody Miri Mary is the one to start with — our take on the classic, built with Indian spices and made properly. It pairs well with the Goan Ros Omelette or the Butter Chicken Benny. The bar team also makes housemade syrups for the signature cocktails, so what's in your glass is as considered as what's on your plate.

If lunch turns into something longer, dinner runs from 17:30 every evening. The Chef's Heritage Table (€48) — a curated three-course regional Indian journey — is the way to spend an evening. Add the cocktail pairing for €88 and you've got a proper night.
