Hidden vegan spot - Edit
To be honest, I didn't expect to find a vegan restaurant like this in the center of Amsterdam. I’ve walked past it so many times over the years but never noticed it before. In any case, it’s a small, relaxed restaurant offering a unique blend of Caribbean and Asian flavors. The milkshakes are wonderfully creamy and the food is very tasty. We certainly won't just walk past it anymore.

Delicious Vegan Flavor - Edit
This place was just what we needed! Lots of flavorful, delicious options. We asked for our fried rice with tofu and to be made spicy - we were so pleased with the result! We also got the vegan plate with sausage and bacon added, and everything was absolutely delicious. Everyone here was very friendly and helpful. The ginger tea was exactly what we needed as well. Very convenient and cute location, too!

Lekker - Edit
Lekker eten. moeilijk kiezen want we wilden alles van de kaart wel proberen. Ook lekkere alcoholvrije drankjes. Ondanks reservering in eerste instantie geen eigen tafel maar later gelukkig wel.

Way too expensive - Edit
It’s way too expensive for what they are serving. I had the Saltfish and my sister got the Jamaica Plate for 19,90€ each. I don’t normally say this but I could have made it better myself. And the portions were small in my opinion.

Good food - Edit
I really liked the food. However, I knocked off a star because the service was pretty poor. Had a green smoothie that tasted like it had cilantro in it after only a sip, told the cook, and still had to pay €9 for it. Disappointed. And aside from the slow service, food was very good.

Delicious and comforting! - Edit
I got the vegan plate and it was very good! Such a comforting little place. Only reason I didn't give 5 starts is the price. It was 19.90€ for this and I think it was a bit too much.

Very tasty caribbean & jamaican food - Edit
We loved the TerraZen Center, such an amazing range of foods, we didn't know what to choose. We went for sushi and the Jamaican plate, along with some sprung rolls for starters, all of which were very tasty!
Read moreWe also tried the homemade ginger beer which was much different than the ginger beer available in the UK. It was almost a smoothie consistency with a rich fiery, gingery taste.

Tasty food - Edit
Nice small place. The food we had was very delicious but the portion of the bowl could be a little larger, for now it feels a bit too pricey.

Alittle of this and alittle of that - Edit
This place had a mix of fusion of items on the menu. I ordered the portobello burger which was great and saw the Jamaican jerk plate I wanted to try next time. Food was amazing.

Delicious and interesting! - Edit
I haven't had karaage since I stopped eating meat, so I was very happy to see a vegan version! My husband tried it with jackfruit, and I tried the one with vegan chicken. Both were delicious!
Read moreWe also tried "cheese sticks" as an entrance, and were surprised to see something resembling a sushi roll, super tasty.
The place is small, but we were happy to find a table. The staff is friendly.
I would say that it can be a bit smelly (the kitchen is open, so you can smell frying food all the time), but you forget about it after a while.
And another thing, for Amsterdam, the prices are quite good!! Good portions too.
Pros: A lot of options, Delicious and fresh food, Friendly staff

Wonderful! - Edit
We went two days consecutively because it was just wonderful.
Read moreThe food is delicious; the staff were friendly and our food arrived efficiently - but without feeling like we were being rushed.
I'm coeliac and have a nut allergy and the staff were confident in identifying which dishes could be safely made gluten free.
I'd have no hesitation at all about going back to this wonderful restaurant.
Pros: Food, Knowledge of allergens, Atmosphere

Tasty lunch spot - Edit
Nice lunch spot. Good variety of food choices.
Read moreMy wife got the Japanese pancake, and I got the vegan platter. The platter was the better of the two, but they were both good.
My only complaint was that they forgot about out drinks, and they did not arrive until our food was almost completed.

Interesting food options - Edit
All vegan menu with interesting food options. The food was very good.
Read moreThe restaurant is small, so seating is limited. Since they have a semi-open kitchen, all of your clothes will smell of food afterwards 😅

Some of the best vegan food I’ve ever eaten out for ! Very refreshing and healthy (I got the ital vital plate) and the coconut milkshake was also amazing . Would highly recommend if you are looking for something a bit more healthy. Also very filling!

Our First Visit - Edit
We saw a fun video interviewing the owners of TerraZen on YouTube and so decided to go for dinner, on our first night in Amsterdam.
Read moreThe decor is humble and a lil rough around the edges, but I usually appreciate this aesthetic as I feel these kinds of places tend to focus more on food than anything else.
Unfortunately it's not totally family friendly, as they didn't have high chairs for children, nor low down tables with enough space for a buggy, so we had to have our little one on our lap, which was a bit precarious as the seating is all high bar tables and stools.
We ordered gyoza, sweet potato fries, okinomiyaki, fried chicken with rice salad and chocolate cake to share.
The food was tasty but my husband wished the okinomiyaki to be thicker, as he left still hungry.
I really liked the fried chicken, although wished there was stronger seasoning coating it.
The chocolate cake was beautiful.
We want to visit again in summer and try out some of the other dishes.
Pros: Humble aesthetics, Chocolate Cake, Homemade Jamaican Ginger Beer
Cons: Seating - should be accessible to all

Legendary - Edit
I have great memories of the food I've ate here but it's been over ten years, so my memory has deceived me or my tastes have changed. I had the fried veg plate with rice, vegetables, battered chicken & tempeh. It was just good, not amazing, I wasn't feeling the love in the food but it could just be my expectation.
