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!

Golden temple review

A very tasty cuisine. Indian but not spicy. Really worth it.
Echt de moeite. Indiaas eten, maar je tong staat niet in brand:)

Pros: Uitgebreid menukaart , Niet te zout of rode peper, Vriendelijke bediening

Cons: Weinig zitplaatsen

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

Still good but not quite the same

We discovered this place a couple of years ago and it was so good we ate here a lot during our stay. The food was fantastic, and both the staff and atmosphere were really something very special.
We were really looking forward to coming back and whilst the food was delicious (we had and recommend the kitchari) and the service was good enough, it just didn’t feel the same.
Menu is smaller and more expensive?
Maybe it’s changed hands since then?
Maybe it’s busier?
Definitely still worth a visit if you’ve not been before. Best to make a reservation.

Delicious Indian food!

The Indian dishes here are really delicious and the atmosphere is unique. It’s more pricey than other Indian restaurants around the city, but really tasty! Don’t order coffee though.

Pros: Really tasty food

Cons: Pricey

Love this place!

This is the place to go if you go to Amsterdam as a vegan! It’s such a cool place to eat, with awesome paintings painted directly on the wall, and even a cute «japanese tea table» corner surrounded by a couch which looks cosy to sit in. I don’t think my words can explain the corner, you’ll just have to see it for yourselves. The food is awesome, and the staff was lovely. I’ve been there both my visits to Amsterdam.

Pros: Awesome surroundings, I think everything on the menu can be made vegan, Helpful and lovely staff

Cons: Many costumers (I recommend reserving a table)

Unbelievably good

My friend and I came here on a whim, and little did we know it would be the best meal we had in Amsterdam. Not only was it one of the most beautiful looking restaurants I’ve ever been in, but everything was so fresh and delicious that we were speechless. This is a must try.

Really good vegan food

I went here with a group of people, and we all loved our food.

It was really crowded when we arrived, but there happened to be a table for us. It might be good to make reservations before going.

A little loud, but otherwise a very nice environment.

Pros: really good vegan food

Good food - terrible service

It took us half an hour to get the drinks we ordered, which came after the soup. I enjoyed the soup and the tempeh salad. Curry was not flavorful enough.

Very Disappointing ..

We were really looking forward to our dinner here but were extremely disappointed with the whole experience. The waitresses didn't seem organised and service was very, very slow, not overly friendly either.

After ordering pizza with vegan cheese I was informed they were out of cheese, the staff didn't seem sure of other vegan options so I went with two appetizers - flatbread with dips and tempura. They were tasty enough but not ideal. My friend ordered a pizza but was not impressed with it.

I was hoping to end the meal with a dessert but only some were vegan and was told there was no vegan dessert special, so that didn't leave much choice.

Most tables seemed frustrated with the service but other dishes looked nice, just not very vegan friendly!

vegan saviour!

Beautifully presented food and swift services. We had the mushroom pizza and Indian curry along with rice paper rolls. Everything tasted fresh and the chai tea is dreamy and creamy! A must for anyone looking for real food.

Pros: lots of options, nice layout, quick services

Cons: expensive £15-20 per main meal and a little cold u

amazing vibes!

I just love golden temple!
such a relaxed and positive atmosphere.
the staff is friendly and they do everything to make it a good experience.
it's often very busy so things take long, but it's not a place to go for a quick bite. it's an experience.
the food is very tasty and vibrant.
unfortunately not fully vegan.. they could easily turn it into an amazing fully vegan restaurant!
also the menu is always the same and not THAT big (there is a daily soup and a daily dish) so that could become boring after eating there a few times.
I have an extended review up on my blog growinsprit.nl since i've been there a few times already!

Pros: good vibes, friendly staff, tasty food

Cons: not fully vegan

Exotic atmosphere

It's located in a trendy street, so I could kill time by window shopping at shops nearby. Exotic atmosphere with smell of incense and ethnic decorations. We went at 5pm but the the place became full quickly. I saw babies but didn't see any high chairs. Friendly staff, but the service was rather slow so allow plenty of time to attract attention of the staff. The food was nice, especially if you are a curry lover.

Pros: Convenient location, nice vibe, Nice curries

Cons: slow service, a little pricey, very busy
