Review: Very laid back, possibly high on life, type establishment. The chef was really personable and chatted with us and offered up suggestions and samples of his special and desserts. Its a nice place, we were bummed they were out of soy ice cream, though! Easy walking distance from pretty much anywhere so a must go if you're in Amsterdam for a few days

Review: The Golden Temple had a three track menu: a middle eastern theme, and Indian theme, and a pizza theme! We love middle eastern food, but had been eating at Maoz Falafel all week, so decided to order a vegan pizza and a lentils & rice dish from the Indian menu. The pizza was okay. It consisted of a very thin, slightly undercooked crust, with sauce and some veggies. The Indian dish was much better. The best part about this restaurant is the amazing vegan desserts!!! If you're a vegan visiting Amsterdam, this place is worth the visit-- if only to sample the desserts.
 
Pros: Good Service * Incredible Desserts * Friendly Staff
Cons: * *

Review: This was so good, we went two nights in a row - Monday 11th & Tues 12th May). The service is swift and friendly and the food is excellent. We both ordered the thali on the first night - one vegan and one veggie and both were hot, fresh and tasty. The portions are generous - a good dish of rice, chapatti plus 4 different portions. I had the saag paneer, veg korma, pakoras and kofta, which were all individually flavoured with distinct differences between the flavours. We then indulged and had dessert - vegan chocolate cheesecake which was so rich, it was a real treat and I had the banana cream pie, amazing. The second night, my husband had vegan pizza, which was a good 12" diameter and topped with five different veg and lots of it, very filling and only €11,50 and I had the thali (€16,25) but tried the other dishes which I hadn't had the first night, another triumph! The freshness stands out and the restaurant is very clean. Toilets clean too (a plus!) There is a kind of lounging area at the front for 2-6 people and this was very popular but there are lots of tables for regular dining! Our bill for two with thali, pizza and drinks came to €37.25 and it was worth every penny.
 
Pros: Fresh, tasty food * Generous portions * Friendly & helpful waitress
Cons: Can't think of any * *

Review: I will always eat at the Golden Temple when I'm in Amsterdam. Brilliant athmosphere, nice people (both staff and customers) and good food. You can choose exactly the food you like and mix it as you want. The "esoteric" side of it all is not "too much" and it always fun to see some excentric people around. Fruit and tea drinks are excellent too.
Really a great place with very good food.

 
Pros: Food * People * Place
Cons: * *

Review: Offers a great range of veggie / vegan food. Mostly Indian, but some Mexican and pizza. Slightly odd.
Prices are no more expensive than most places in Amsterdam. Around €45 inc drinks for two people.
Service is "unhurried". Not a place to go if you're in a hurry. But it has a nice atmosphere and a good range of food and drink.

 
Pros: Nice food * Relaxing atmosphere. *
Cons: Slow service * Expensive desserts *

Review: So my friend's family used to own this place as there used to be many all over the world, but he sadly moved and sold it. I hadn't been to the restraunt before he sold it, but I'm sure the prices were not that much.
We ordered a medeteranian plate( the portions of this were extremely small but the food was lovely), a goat cheese salad(very tasty and OVERLOADED with delicious cheese-a bit too much maybe?), two yogi raj's (yogi tea made with cinnamon, cardomom and black tea topped with whipped cream) and a homemade maple ice cream sundae which came out to 50 euros-a bit too much for us, but the food was delicious.
And we saw on the other table that the pizza looked large and yummy. The owner also brings his doggie to work with him, a small cute thing and not uncommon in europe it seemed. They also import Vergil's rootbeer from America because the original Golden Temple restraunts had these as a norm.
All in all, great food, decent portions, BIG price.

 
Pros: DELICIOUS * Great vibe * Friendly staff
Cons: EXPENSIVE * smaller portions *

Review: I was in Amsterdam in February and I was planning to have a long overdue visit to The Golden Temple. When I arrived on the street, I discovered that it is a new establishment. I hope that there is going to be a new premises opening soon - I love the food, the staff and the atmosphere in The Golden Temple. I will be visiting Amsterdam at the end of December and I would love to visit a Sikh restaurant on 25th December.

Review: The service was excellent and staff very friendly. The juices were great but the food disapointing. I had a Thali and found it to be a little flavourless and i was very hungry afterwards. Lots of other dishes on the menu though and it is always very busy so i would give it another go if i had chance!
 
Pros: friendly staff * good juices *
Cons: Very small portions * Bland *
