Dhol & Soul
Eindhoven, Netherlands
The read// why locals go
Eindhoven's first Indian restaurant makes a point of refusing the westernised menu most people expect. Dhol & Soul cooks across India's regions rather than flattening them into one gravy, and its own phrasing for that ambition is "India served loud and proud" — traditional recipes, no fusion detours, no apologies for spice. The room on Willemstraat is casual and colourful rather than starched, the kind of place where a weeknight plate of something regional costs about as much as a mediocre pizza elsewhere in the centre. Local food writers picked up on it early, and it has become the reference point in town for people who want Indian food with an actual point of view. Mains land around 16 euros; booking is straightforward.
