Small female owned restaurant

The portions are large. It's nice that everything is vegan. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and seems very friendly.

Simply incredible!

Went on a Saturday night. I asked the server for her recommendation. I had the Pom & Patty and it was incredible. Lots of flavours, textures, colours. I have been vegan for over 15 years and I'm a bit blasé about vegan restaurants. But this one really took me on a epicurean trip. Highly recommend.

Pros: Delicious food, Low-key atmosphere, Friendly staff

Very delicious vegan dishes

We tried dumplings and peanut tempeh as starters followed by salads. Very delicous! Service was very attentive.

Ausgefallen

Persönliche, kleine Gaststätte mit Blick in die Küche. Das Menü besteht aus täglich, drei wechselnden Gerichten plus ein paar Gerichten die täglich angeboten werden. Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

Unreliable opening hours

We turned up at 12:15 (supposedly to open at 12h) the lady said: “we might or might not open at 14h, my boss nowhere to be seen”

Iets meer van verwacht

Ik had hele hoge verwachtingen, maar die kwamen helaas niet helemaal uit. Ik wil wel graag nog eens terugkomen, misschien had ik mindere gerechtjes besteld. Reserveren is een must trouwens!

Tasty and filling

We went on a Sunday and had two of the mains only available on Sundays: brown beans and rice (which was very tasty) and the pom and patty, which had some excellent parts (eg greens that tasted chargrilled, the mushrooms) but the pom itself is a bit too sweet for our liking.

We also had the pom balls as a starter, and with hindsight we definitely had too much pom!

Pros: Tasty, filling mains , Many interesting dishes to try

Cons: Most mains are only served one day a week

No nonsense, heerlijk en gezellig

De kaart is kort, maar genoeg keuze. Het zijn mooi gebalanceerde en eerlijke gerechten. Je voelt dat het personeel met overtuiging en vol passie probeert om hier iets goeds neer te zetten,

Pros: Klein, sfeervol en goede vibe, Erg goed eten, Waar voor je geld

Sfeervol en lekker

Een sfeervol tentje waar niet al te veel mensen in passen (dus zeker reserveren op voorhand). Wij hadden de roti roll die heel smaakvol was. Ook super vriendelijke mensen die er werken. Absoluut een aanrader.

Pros: Sfeervol, Rijk in smaken, Vriendelijk

Great concept

Was a little hesitant to come here given the recent bad reviews, but I luckily had a better experience. I love Surinamese food so really happy that there’s a place where they serve these dishes in a vegan way. I’d really recommend the roti wrap (from the lunch menu).

Service was a bit slow, but we weren’t in a hurry so it didn’t matter for us. Our server was really friendly, trying their best.

Disappointed

Not clean, too expensive for what they serve (especially the main courses), “homemade” stuff that weren’t homemade, uninterested waiter, bad ambience and a very bad menu when it comes to appearances. We heard the same 4 songs in a loop for about 8 times.

We’ve been to a lot of vegan restaurants, with a lot of gratitude, but this was really uncomfortable.

Cons: Not clean, Not professional, Bad front of house staff

My favourite in Town

I couldn’t ask for more, the food is lovely. The staff more, and the vibe too.

Thanks for everything.

Great food but a bit unclean

My friends and I arrived at The Old Soul at a busy time. Great to see that a vegan place is so popular, so it is filled up on a Wednesday evening at 20:00.
Because of the busyness, the table was not ready when we arrived. Fair enough, and we waited for the table to be cleaned. But the cleaning was chaotic, and I was not sure whether they actually removed all the used glass. When we sit, the table was still a bit dirty.
When they handle os the menus, they forgot to mention that the regular Wednesday menu was replaced with a special Valentines Day menu, and first mentioned it to us 15 minutes later.
When we ordered the food, some miscommunication occured. Two of my friends wants dishes without any fried items. But the first dish contained fried items anyway, which they removed. They promised to make the second dish fried free, but that dish never appeared.

In spite of these inconveniences, the food was really good. The staff was also nice, and apologised for the inconveniences.

So all in all, a great restaurant which I will recommend. But the communication among the staff, and the communication to the customers could be better.

Pros: Great food

Cons: Unclean table, Miscommunication

Not too impressed

We waited for a very long time to recieve the food at different times. They did not remember an important request about the food. And they forgot about the food, for the last person in our company. Place was not too clean and food was expensive.

Some of the food did taste well though and the staffer we talked to mostly was pleasant and apologizing.

Pros: Taste, Staff

Cons: Cleanliness, Waiting, Food delivery

Wonderful restaurant; vegan take on traditional (Surinamese) food

Went here as i found it on HC (thanks everyone for all your recommendations; it gives me a lot of inspiration).
As I am a sucker for ‘world cuisine’ and I LOVE Surinamese food I knew I HAD TO GO.
The place was so great, the woman who runs the place even came by to ask how it was, which I love. The portions were somewhat small, but the food is hearty so we had enough. It could’ve been just a little more though. Also for the prices of the food, they’re quite steep.. Also worth mentioning is the interior; lovely done, it feels authentic, but with a contemporary vibe. Now that I think about it, the interior is an extension of their food.

Value for money is just a little off, that’s what kept me from giving 5 stars, but furthermore it is a great place, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

Pros: Love the vegan take on authentic cuisine, Food is so tasty, Sweet owner, her vision is very inspiring

Cons: Steep pricing

Healthy and delicious

My first experience with Surinamese food and I was not disappointed. I ordered the POM PATTY SRANAN BOWL and it was delicious. The atmosphere was nice with friendly hosts. It was on the expensive side but I guess these are the prices in this area. I would definitely recommend this place for quality vegan food.

Simple but tasty food, service needs improvement

We were really looking forward to trying out this restaurant. Frankly it was a bit disappointing. The food was tasty, but not as flavorful as I had expected. I found myself thinking ‘I could have made this at home’ (and I’m no chef). But what really put us of was the service. Very disorganized, and sometimes a bit rude. I’ve heard that the owner of the restaurant is a really lovely woman, but unfortunately when we where there we didn’t see her. We waited for over a half hour before we could even order drinks. The food took much longer. We might try it again sometime on a weekday, never again in the weekend.

Pros: Vegan Surinaams

Cons: Service needs improvement , Not so good value for money
