Very special and tasty! 😋💚

The food was delicious and well balanced, especially the dessert was fantastic and the service was very polite. At our next stay in Amsterdam we would love to come back!

Very good

The staff was very friendly, explained the different dishes and served us an amuse-bouche. They even divided the cassava soup into smaller portions so we could share it as a starter. The soup was delicious and so was my main course. A very positive experience.

Delicious!

I was super excited to see a vegan Surinaamse place open and I wasn’t disappointed! The food is really delicious, lots of varied tastes in all the dishes we ordered, the jackfruit was SO good l, and that is hard to do! They also had a sugar and gluten free cake which was pretty exciting! The day we went there were quite a few things not available and no hot drinks, apparently the woman who runs the place was out of town so I think things were a bit out of hand without her, but that was zero problem and everyone was super nice and friendly, which is a treat. The interior is very relaxed, casual and cozy. My only issue is that we found it pretty expensive at around €16.50 per dish.

Finally, a vegan Surinamese !

I'm a big fan of Surinamese food. Unfortunately since the only restaurants and snack bars outside of Suriname pretty much only exist in the Netherlands, I was really excited to find this new vegan place and I wasn't at all disappointed.
I had the Roti dish with the Adjuma pepper and to drink I had their home-made Ginger Beer. Everything was outstanding. The atmosphere and staff were amazing.
This will be my must-visit place again!

Made me happy

I have a soft spot for Surinamese food, and an all vegan Surinamese restaurant isn't something I can skip. As such it definitely doesn't disappoint. The food is very good. If you like spicy definitely ask for the spicy sambal. The staff is also very friendly.

Good (soul- ;)) food

Brand new restaurant next to the canal. Had the peanut soup, ate it all wrong, but it was still really good. They also have a delicious home-made gingerbeer and vegan pasties. The woman who runs the place is very nice too and i liked her way of presenting the menu haha 🌺 oh and for those that are looking for a job; they are hiring 🌼

Smaakvol

I was so glad to find an all-vegan Surinamese restaurant in the city! It's a rotating menu with healthy, delicious comfort food. I absolutely loved the jerk-seasoned aubergine, picked veggies, and plantains. The spicy sauces accompanying the dishes are also GREAT.... can't wait to come other days of the week and try out new flavors. Do yourself a favor and try out their ginger beer (unlike anything you've ever had, I promise). The restaurant is owned and operated by a really friendly and sweet woman.
