Beautiful place

The place itself is absolutely beautiful and cozy!
The menu offers loads of vegan options. But the food is not amazing, especially considering how pricy it is.

Pros: Decor, Ambience

Cons: Expensive, Food is okay, nothing special

Good vegetarian and vegan food

Super cosy vibe, as we had the spot in the window with pillows and low table. Nice and affordable vegetarian and vegan food in Amsterdam. A mix of (inspired by) Indian, South East Asian dishes & pizza. Super friendly staff and fast service.

Pros: Cosy vibe, Good food, Affordable

nice restaurant with good vegan options

Had a lovely dinner at the Golden Temple last night. They offer many vegan options. I’ve tried the mushroom spinach pizza (absolutely lovely, one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had) and the summer rolls (good but too expensive with 10€ for 1.5 small summer rolls).
Staff was friendly and the restaurant comfy.

Pros: many vegan options , good food, nice staff

Unreal fusion

Vegan options available for most dishes, great restaurant if you can’t decide what you want because there’s such a fusion, you can have Indian whilst your friend has Mexican. Nachos are unreal !!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Yummy nachos

Cons: Not 100% vegan

Go & order the Coconut Pie!

I had a lovely dining experience at Golden Temple. It was everything I was looking for and more. The food was fresh, flavorful, exciting, and prepared to near perfection.

I ordered the Tofu Tikka Masala: Indian masala curry with onion, tomato, bell pepper, and tofu served with chapati, mango chutney, and basmati rice. For dessert, I ordered coconut pie, which is now known as the BEST DESSERT I'VE EVER HAD!

TOFU TIKKA MASALA - Simply divine. The curry was rich in depth and flavor. The portion was vast. While I was eating, it reminded me of a warm hug. It was comforting and soul-soothing.
BASMATI RICE - The rice was fluffy and cooked to perfection. The crispy onions on top were great for added flavor and texture.
SIDE SALAD - I'm not sure what the salad dressing was, but it was scrumptious! I'm not a fan of salads, but I would order this again in a heartbeat.
The whole dish was super fun to eat too!

COCONUT PIE - is in 1st place for the best dessert I've ever had! It was pie perfection! Everything about it was delightful: crunchy crust on the bottom, sweet and smooth coconut custard, selection and amount of fruit for acidity, slivered almonds, sesame seeds, and the agave or simple syrup drizzle on the plate. I was speechless after eating this pie, and I'm still short on words now. I would go back to Amsterdam just for this coconut pie!

To see my visit to Golden Temple and all of the vegan food I ate in Amsterdam, watch my "eat with me in Amsterdam" video on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VrHHkoYKko&t=479s

Pros: Fresh food, Coconut pie, Comfort

Good food & a lot vegan options

Golden Temple is a beautiful 100% vegetarian restaurant and almost everything on the menu you can get vegan also. The food was really nice. I had the mix of starters (recommend) and the Tofu Tikka Masala. We did thought that the food was quite expensive.

Great Food, Beautiful Decor

There’s a lot of vegan options to choose from and I had a hard time deciding which one sounded the best. A great find and definitely a place to go if you’re looking for somewhere unique! The dessert was so yummy too.

Beautiful decor

The decor makes the restaurant stand out, but the food is mediocre. Curry has no distinctive taste and rice tend to be undercooked.

Pros: Beautiful decor

Cons: Expensive, Mediocre taste

Flavourful variety

We had the “Flavours of India”, Kitchari (vegan/GF option available), Guacamole-cheese nachos (vegan option available & GF), and Pakora (GF & vegan)

I like dishes with many different flavours to try and totally loved the edible flowers (violets)🌸. The flavourful curries went perfectly with the chapati🫓.

They have many gluten-free en vegan options. I was served the gluten option on accident. The veggies fried in chickpea batter were a bit too oily for my taste.

I recommend sitting in the front of the restaurant at the pillow corner, it was very comfortable🛌. #Veganuary

Pros: Many vegan & gluten-free options

Heerlijk gegeten!

Gezellige relaxte sfeer, vriendelijk personeel.
En erg lekker eten. De currys zijn niet pittig dus ook zeer geschikt voor kinderen.
Op een enkel gerecht na is alles vegan te verkrijgen. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar!
We really enjoyed the food.
De prijzen zijn conform Amsterdamse prijzen.

Really nice ambience but the food was meh - not worth the price

I had high expectations but the food didn’t taste that good - even my home cooking is better. The price for vegetarian option is also not worthy.
Yogi tea was nice tho.

Small portions, average quality

All the food was pretty expensive and we received tiny portions of not so great food. The costumer service was quite slow, but the atmosphere is really lovely. Visited again later and they seemed to have improved a lot!

It’s alright

We were lucky enough to get the las table, unlucky this table was right next to the kitchen. Otherwise the food was good and the staff seemed nice

Clean fresh cooking

Freshly prepared food. Clean unfussy flavours and a friendly-if tightly packed-atmosphere. The Flavours of India thali selection vary depending on the day. Great desserts. The mix of Mexican and Indian menu options can be disorientating but I have stuck with Indian and not been disappointed after several visits

Pros: Unfussy flavours

Surprising range of cuisines in a friendly and bustling restaurant

Curry, pizza, Mexican...if that sounds like one of those bad takeaways that sell everything and do nothing well, think again. Every dish is lovely and it means everyone will find something they fancy. The only problem is deciding. Lovely staff and a great atmosphere too.

Pros: Great range, Busy and popular

Cons: Can get a bit too busy, Some dishes could be warmer, Not cheap
