Outstanding service and delicious food - Edit
We arrived super early for our reservation since we had finished sightseeing for the day and we were hungry! There was no problem seating us when we arrived because there were some no-shows.
Read moreWait staff was INCREDIBLE and checked up on us often. All of our questions were answered, showing they were knowledgable about the menu, and the food was tasty!
We started with the Chorizo and Cod Fish Croquettes, which we would order again. For our mains, we had the Peanut Butter Curry and Ben Ben Noodles. Both were super flavorful, but I'd be interested in trying other things on their menu, as well. For dessert, we had to have the Vegan Snickers, which is a definite winner. It was an awesome ending to an awesome meal. Will definitely be back if we ever make it back to Amsterdam!
Pros: Friendly, knowledgeable staff, Delicious food, Good variety of menu items

Sorry to hear your experience fell short! We appreciate the feedback. However, we can actually adapt many dishes to suit your preferences. We're bummed you didn't enjoy everything, but we'd love another shot to make it right on your next visit. Maybe we were in a bad hair day, The Snickers is always a winner, though! 🍫😊

idk what the fuss is about - Edit
not worth the price. 17,5€ for a curry that unfortunately doesn’t stand up to the standard :ccccc for this price I was expecting way more. Small sizes, taste-wise okay but nothing spectacular
Read morePros: Nice service!, Good Lighting
Cons: expensive , portion size

Bummer to hear it didn't live up to expectations! We're sorry the curry didn't hit the mark for you. We appreciate the feedback and are always looking to improve. If you're up for giving us another shot, we'd love to turn things around on your next visit. 😊🍛💔

Just fine - Edit
For food, we tried the reuben sandwich and pulled pork burger. They tasted fine but nothing special. For drinks, we ordered a latte and asked for some water. They charged $4 for the water... Maybe it was our fault for not clarifying that we just wanted tap water instead of whatever fancy water they gave us, but the water was about as much as the latte was. A little bit ridiculous if you ask me, and it soiled our experience a little (pun intended).
Read moreCons: A little pricey
bottino
The proceeds of the water we serve go to the Made Blue Foundation. An initiative that funds clean water project around the world. That's why it is charged. Of course, tap water is not charged. :-)

Would have loved to give 5 stars - Edit
The place was nice and the staff were one of the most friendly I have ever met. I had the ribs for appetisers and they were incredible, but the main course peanut butter curry was VERY dissapointing, especially for the price. (18€) And my companions ben ben noodles were also very mediocre

Pros: Lovely staff, Wonderful appetisers
Cons: Expensive, The main course was very mediocre

Ben Ben Noodles and Peanut Curry are super popular for many years with us. Maybe next time we can show you otherwise and get those 5 stars

“vegan, seasonal, mostly local, totally honest” 🌱 - Edit
We enjoyed our visit to Soil while touring through Amsterdam. The cafe had a great vibe and the food was tasty. I was a bit jealous of my husband’s Ben Ben noodles (I had the peanut butter curry). Flavours were solid, service was quick.

Nice enough - Edit
I had the croquettes, which are supposed to emulate fish but aren't much like fish or croquettes in my opinion, but are still nice enough. My tablemate had the peanut butter curry on my recommendation and says it was spot on. Likewise the cheesecake. The fella serving us seemed sort of awkwardly keen, but to be fair to the lad he was really nice, he got everything right, and he made welcome conversation with a lone diner at another table.

Cosy spot with a good vibe ✨ - Edit
This place has a great vibe, but the ingredients didn't really tickle my fancy. The ribs were good as a starter. My partner had ramen and I had a beet salad with feta, but there were very little feta in the salad so basically only undercooked beets and leafy greens. Wasn't the best culinary experience. Good orange wine and friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. Would not personally come again, but a good vibe 😊
Read morePros: Great vibe, Beautiful aesthetic , Good wine selection
Cons: Better selection , More flavour

Cosy, tasty restaurant - Edit
This restaurant is worth a visit when in Amsterdam. I had a chorizo entrée, ramen main dish and apple pie dessert. The chorizo was flavourful. The ramen was a bit bland but fully and nice on a cold day. My friend had a curry main dish and it looked tastier. The apple pie was incredible. I was satisfied with my meal and felt full by the end of it. My meal was about €30. The decoration is modern and cosy.
Read moreThe only thing I didn’t like was that tap water was not available - the waitress insisted that my friend and I purchase a bottle of filtered water. I haven’t had this happen at a restaurant before.

SOIL had fair pricing and large, filling portions. I had the noodles and my fiancé had the fried rice. We both really enjoyed the noodles. We also ordered ribs for the appetizer and those were fantastic! Service was quick and friendly.

Amazing hearty food - Edit
I had the peanut butter and tofu curry - it’s so creamy and indulgent, exactly my kind of food. It’s full of healthy veggies, celeriac and pumpkin, and served with crunchy slaw on top which adds texture.
Read moreMy husband is still taking about the Vietnamese-style hearty broth he had, with udon noodles, “ribs” and crumbled tofu. He would have exactly the same meal again tonight if I let him, but we’re only in Amsterdam’s couple of days.
Really lovely staff, friendly atmosphere, strongly recommend.
Pros: Huge portion sizes! So great value.
Cons: Huge portion sizes! No room for desert.

I thought the ribs were amazing! They’re made of seitan and jackfruit and taste Devine. I also ordered the ben Ben noodles and they were good but I did not like the meatballs that came with them for whatever reason. Wait staff is nice.

Okay - Edit
The bowls are a bit small. The Peanut Butter Curry is okay, we won’t order the Kimchi Fried Rice again. It was a bit bland.
Read moreUpdate more than two years later: don’t go for take out. Have your meal there. Good curry and salad. The noodles could have used a lot more greens and less salt.
And another update: even If you order drinks from the menu, they are not happy to serve you a glass of tapwater.
Updated from previous review on 2023-01-02
Pros: Nice place to have a meal with family or friends.

Sorry that was your impression about the tap Water Omega-3. We do however encourage our guests to order the WATER from MADE BLUE which sends its revenues to promote water projects worldwide in communities that are clear water unsafe.
