Very Free-spirit-ish - Edit
We went here for a lunch and were a bit dissapointed. This place definately has a good vibe to it, BUT... Menu is written on a chalkboard (not very nicely) and lacks conception in my opinion. It was hard to actually pick something. We had stir-fried rice and some salad. Food was ok, but nothing special. I would expect lower prices for a place like this.

2 years later and I still miss the food! - Edit
I still remember this restaurant even though it’s been 2 years since my holiday to Amsterdam! Incredible food!
Read moreI had recently went vegan when I visited and I remember having a chicken and chips style meal. It was wonderful, the chips were some of the best I’ve ever had!
The staff were also super friendly!
I’m looking to come back next month, can’t wait!
Pros: great homemade food, many different things on the menu, cosy environment
Cons: not in the U.K.? 😭

Excellent - Edit
Be sure to check what time they open as I made the mistake at going at 12pm and they were closed. I didn’t give up and came back the next day and boy am I happy I did! The Crispy Roti Wrap is delicious and beautifully presented. The price is a wee bit expensive and that means something since I’m from New York which is expensive in itself.

Pros: Delicious Food
Cons: Expensive

Is this a Joke? - Edit
Me and my gf went to this Restaurant, that was the most popular and pretty decent (4 Star) according HappyCow.
Read moreAt first I had some basic expectations about described "Caribbean and Japanese tastes and ingredients" and ordered Vegan Plate and Jamaican Plate à 16 Euro (the priciest, best, and filling I thought) ... Buuut, to the actual points and no-gos,
1. No menus for a place for max. 20 People, you must read the menu on a desk in the far corner of the room, with no details - you have to ask about anything. So a decent menu with some details to each of the dishes would be great.
2. I asked waiter for a WiFi - he told me, that he will ask his chief.... He forgot. So to offer a free WiFi if you have one in form of info on the wall/tables would be great
3. We ordered 2 Plates for 16 Euro and thought it would be enough for a dinner....no. There was actually less than in a ready to lunch box from a typical grocery store. Literally it was a tiny bit of rice, I mean rice! You get more for less at Vapiano for sure.
4. I had "Jamaican" plate. It was - Rice, Broccoli, Zucchini, Red Cabbage and Soy Things. All tastes very nice. But I strongly suggest to look at Wikipedia Page for Caribbean/Jamaican dishes. Spoiler: there is no Broccoli, Zucchini, Red Cabbage etc.!!!!!! This is the same as if I ordered a bottle of Cola for 3 Euro and got a 10 Euro shot Birch-Limonade - really?
5. For that what you get the prices are enormous! Ok, if it was all organic.. But it was not or nowhere to find a sign, non of the drinks was organic.
So if you read through my not so good english so far, I come to a conclusion:
1 Star for the taste - It was very tasteful. and 1 Star is granted by HappyCow

Pros: Taste
Cons: Price, Jamaican food/ingridients? - not here, Small portions, maybe ok for kids

nice vegan pure food - Edit
Food is mostly nice (depends who is making the food), the staff can be very rude and unprofessional, but one person is mostly very nice and he is also a very good cook. Quite bad hygiëne in the seated area, I don't know about the kitchen. The serve very nice tasting pure vegan food (no refined sugar, lots of healthy options). The food is quite expensive but isn't that surprising since they make everything themselves with bio and fresh ingredients. Very long waiting time, but it isn't that surprising since they serve pure, slow food, that they will make fresh after you ordered.
Read morePros: good tasting pure vegan food, in Amsterdam city centre, savory food and sweet food unrefined sugar
Cons: bad hygiene, unfriendly staff, expensive

interesting vegan place! - Edit
This is quite a handy place for vegans travelling in amsterdam. It has a varied menu with enough to choose from. I ordered the veg spring rolls which came out different to what I expected, deep fried in breadcrumbs but still tasty. Then I had the chickn and chips, and I must say the chickn is the most realistic fake meat I've ever tasted! For dessert I had the warm Apple pie which was quite nice. The place does smell a bit of fried food, I could still smell it on me after I left, so if you're looking to treat yourself and you're not health conscious then this is a good place to eat.
Read morePros: lots of options
Cons: smells of fried food, not cheap.

super friendly service and a filling vegan plate - Edit
The vegan plate is good and filling. Hit the spot after a long flight to Amsterdam. If you don’t want a big meal, don’t get the plate. It has vegan chicken if that’s your thing. The dumplings are super good too.

Absolutely amazing - Edit
The food was incredibly. So so good. I’ve never found such chicken like tasting vegan chicken and the fries were incredible. It has a range of different nationality food options on the menu and everything was delicious. The staff were lovely too.
Read morePros: Amazing food, Reasonable prices, Lovely decor/atmosphere

Warm, friendly and welcoming with a side of delicious! - Edit
Had a lovely time at Terrazen this afternoon, they were very welcoming and didn't mind me being a corporate nutter and having to work a couple of hours at the table (with ample tea and coffee!). Lovely people and amazing food - had the extremely tasty vegan sushi. Liked the whole feel of the place too, very relaxed and calm. Hope to be back again one day!

Confusing, Bizarre, but Amazing! - Edit
Have an open mind...
Read moreIf you’re wanting a highly organised, formal, efficient and professional environment for your meal, don’t come here.
If you’re open to a quirky, funny, friendly, tasty, bizarre, surreal experience, then definitely come here.
The owner/waiter/chef is lovely and provides a dining ‘experience’ as well as 100% vegan menu. Some items may be sold out, just choose something else. Your food may come out at different times, just share as it comes. You may not not cutlery with your meal, just go and get it yourself or use your fingers. Help yourself to drinks from the fridge, pay at the end. (cash only)
This restaurant is a confusing and bizarre experience, but i can’t recommend it enough. Amazing restaurant, food & chef.
Culinary experience we won’t soon forgot.

ארוחה מדהימה. - Edit
מסעדה מקסימה, קצת מוזרה בעיצוב ובאווירה אבל בצורה חיובית. לאוכל יש טעם של בשר בצורה מפחידה (ברמה שאפילו היה לי קצת קשה לאכול כי לא האמנתי שזה טבעוני) והצוות מקסים. לא הייתי מפספסת :)
Read morePros: מלא אפשרויות בתפריט, מחירים סבירים (בין 8-16 יורו

Amazing food - Edit
I had the crispy roti wrap and vegan cheesecake. The wrap was one of the tastiest things i’ve ever had (i just wanted to try everything else they had) but the service was quite poor. The owners were nice and friendly but not the most attentive and communicative. There was also only one large table to eat at which some people may like but i prefer a more private setting while eating out.

Cons: not the best service

Strange, and quirky, but great - Edit
This was a very interesting experience whilst visiting Amsterdam. The chef/owner is very quirky and unique individual, which was not a bad thing. He gave us some great laughs and served us some lovely food. The restaurant was very quiet at the time we were there.
Read moreWe had the mixed vegan plate at was fantastic. We absolutely loved the vegan crispy fried chicken.
One criticism is that while walking in we were not greeted straight away and were a bit confused 🤷🏻♂️ .
The restaurant was also a little confusing to find as It is down one of the side streets. But is a fantastic find for any vegan in Amsterdam.
Pros: Friendly service , Fully vegan
Cons: Pricey , Not well sign posted

Food was very good but very slow and poor service - Edit
The food was lovely, and very filling. However, it took ages to come out and we got our drinks after we had finished our main course! So maybe not the best place to go if you're in a hurry!

Lovely food in relaxed atmosphere - Edit
We ate here on our first night in Amsterdam, the restaurant is definitely quirky! We sat ourselves and had to wait a little while to order but we were in no rush so weren't bothered by this. We both went for the Jamaican plate which was really tasty and satisfying.

Cons: not the place to go to if you're tight on time
