Delicious vegan fast food

I love this place and often stop by after a long day at work. Their vegan Turkish pizza and vegan kapsalon are the best I’ve had. And they sell vegan baklava!

Pros: Delicious , Friendly staff

Ongelofelijk lekkere vegan en glutenvrije kebab

Ik had niet verwacht dat het zo lekker zou zijn, Vegan kebab. Eén echte aanrader om dit te proeven. Er is ook ruime keuze uit salades met kikkererwten en bonen. Super goed !

Not too bad

So me and my boyfriend both had the vegan plate which was okay but came without sauce or anything.
The thing that made me really mad is that they call themselves „Helins
Vegan Döner“ but they also serve meat, they are not even fully vegetarian, which is absolutely misleading!

Een keer heerlijk, een keer vreselijk

De eerste keer heerlijk gegeten, een ontzettend lekkere groentenstoofpot. Alsof een Turkse mama die thuis met veel liefde had gekookt. Prima rijst en een lekkere bonensalade erbij. De eerste keer zou ik vijf sterren hebben gegeven.
De tweede keer diepe teleurstelling. E'n vegan maaltijd, waarbij me verteld werd dat de groentenstoofpot (die er wel was) niet bij voor maaltijden bestemd was. De enige vegan (of vegetarisch? er zat kaas op) optie was een behoorlijk droge moussaka, of iets dergelijks, met nauwelijks saus.
Verder twee vegan kapsalons die nagenoeg oneetbaar waren: melige slecht gebakken patat, enorme repen vegan vlees (15, 20 centimeter lang), die je alleen met mes en vork kunt eten of eerst uit elkaar moet scheuren. En nauwelijks saus, waardoor het geheel ook nog gortdroog was. De kaas was geheel verdwenen.
Diepe teleurstelling. De tweede keer was hooguit twee sterren waard.

Five Stars!!!

Been in Europe for two weeks, and this is, hands down, the best place I’ve eaten. I’m sorry I leave Amsterdam tomorrow and can’t eat here again. I loved the Turkish pizza with vegan doner, and my omni friends loved it too. Total win.

Delicious but pretend to be 100% vegan

The salads and the mock meat are delicious. But they are not 100% vegan which is both misleading and taking advantage.

Great döner

They have a bunch of vegan options here. It really reminded me of the döner I used to have. The ingredients are fresh and the dürum bread is baked to order.

Great vegan takeout

This is our go-to restaurant for takeout in Amsterdam; we always get the vegan kapsalon; it’s amazing! The portions are just right and the taste is extraordinary.

Best vegan döner

This place has by far the best vegan döner I've ever had anywhere.

The owner is suuuper friendly and will gladly explain about his vegan options.

It's a very clean place, and the food is also very clean, never too greasy, never old, always fresh and tasty.

Absolute must if you want a vegan döner.

Pros: Many vegan options, Very friendly owner, Clean and good

Cons: Not fully vegan

Fantastic!

We found this by pure chance after another vegan restaurant we were aiming for in the area was closed. Wandering along the street this big sign emerged and I am so glad we went in. Myself and my partner had the vegan doner wrap and it was fantastic! The donner itself was a lovely texture and full of flavour, and there was heaps of fresh salad, grilled Mediterranean veg, a vegan yoghurt dressing and siracha if you wanted it spicy. Gorgeous flavours! We’ll be going back!
We didn’t try it, but there were heaps of mezze salad options too — and vegan baklava!!

Vegan / vegetarian doner (v. few meat options)

Tasty and filling Turkish wrap and falafel options. Everything is quite fresh. I took the vegan Turkish pizza with vegan doner (€8), they asked if I wanted vegan sauce or (I assume) yogurt sauce. They also have a falafel bar which looks pretty good and an option for vegan kapsalon (ie loaded disco fries).
Good option for vegan fast food.
Friendly and fast service.

Only 1 meat option (would be great to support a 100% veg venue!) 🌱

Pros: 95% vegan and vegetarian options, Good value , Tasty

Spot on after a few drinks

We had the Turkish pizza with vegan doner and it was spot on. The doner seems to be made from seitan but I wonder how much it adds to the pizza because it don't think I could taste it that much among the other fillings, considering it bring the price from €4.50 to €8 (extremely affordable for Amsterdam). The sambal wasn't all too spicy. My colleagues in a nearby restaurant all love this place.

Pros: Well situated

5 stars!

I keep forgetting to take pictures when I take out food: it always goes straight into my mouth. Vegan doner (with vegan garlic sauce options!), turkish pizza and 'kapsalon': nostalgic foods to many who have turned vegan, offers the tastes you have missed. Did I already mention their mezze offerings with 2 kinds of dolma, bean/ chickpea salads AND vegan baklava? Staff is friendly and very proud of their vegan products, highly recommend!

Pros: Authentic food made vegan, Friendly staff, Fast service

Such a great surprise!

We were randomly walking through Amsterdam Oost and bumped into this big window-sticker saying vegan döner kebab.. and we of course had to get one. The vegan "meat" was tasty and the sauces in the kebab plus the fresh salad great as well. The nicest touch was a big poster on the wall explaining the benefits of choosing the vegan option. It's not something I usually spot in non-vegan restaurants and I loved that. We'll be back. The vegan stuffed aubergines looked tasty as well..

Overtuigende döner

Het aanbod is divers, en het is gewoon super om te zien hoe van zo'n draaiend stuk nepvlees vegan döner wordt geschaafd; net echt! Het aanbod is zoals bij een typische dönertent, maar dan vegan/vegetarisch. Zeker een aanrader

Pros: Veel veganistische opties , Net echt, Goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding

And it was very very delicious

That's goooood

Just the döner I needed and how it used to be. Te kebab plant protein is good, and I also liked the grilled vegetables they add. But I have to admit I really love "turkish pizza" and they had a wonderful vegan version so that made it even better.

Pros: authentic kebab, vegetables, vegan turkish pizza!

Cons: place itself isnt cozy

Great customer service

the vegan döner is quite hefty. It’s a meal all by itself, and is pretty tasty. The bread is also toasty so it’s a warming meal if a bit heavy. This place is quick service so there are a few seats and it’s a nice lunch option.
