Thought this would be a fusion of Japanese/Jamaican food - Edit
When I first found this restaurant on Happy Cow, I thought there would be dishes mashed up between Japanese and Jamaican. I didn't see much of that on the menu. It appeared to be Japanese dishes and Jamaican dishes. Regardless, we were not disappointed with the food at all. We were so happy to see the different variety and types of vegan food available and we gladly tried the Vegan plate and the Jamaican plate. We also started with coconut milk shakes and the Crispy Jackfruit, which we had never had before.
Read moreThe Crispy Jackfruit wasn't super crispy, more like a light tempura batter, but it was still quite tasty and if I see it again, I will definitely try it again. The Vegan and Jamaican plates were good, but we were surprised the curry on the Jamaican plate wasn't a lot spicier. I guess the local clientele can't tolerate spicy food? Again, we were not disappointed by the food. Everything was very tasty and we know it was freshly prepared because one of the owners arrived shortly after we did with a basketful of produce from the market!
Staff was friendly and the restaurant got crowded so I guess they're doing something right! We found the prices to be a little high, but we don't know what the market is like since we were visitors. We might go back after we've tried more vegan restaurants.
Pros: Fresh food, Friendly staff
Cons: Can be pricey, Not as fusion as we had believed

This place has been around so long which is super cool. My curry I had was up there in cost but honestly worth it. It was amazing.

Ok food - Edit
The service was great. We had the vegan plate - it was ok but nothing special. Also I found it way too pricey for what you get (18.5 euros for one plate)

Flavourful food in quiet laneway - Edit
We had a great time at TerraZen. Caribbean/Japanese fusion sounds weird on paper but totally works. The food is very flavourful.
Read moreThere are big tables inside and three small tables outside. It was very hot inside and we were lucky to get a table outside in the quiet laneway.
All 4 dishes we tried were delicious and we washed it all down with tasty Jamaican ginger beer.
All the staff were very friendly.
Sadly we had no room to try dessert but they looked good.
Pros: All vegan, Flavourful food, Quiet laneway

Amazing - Edit
Loved the food. Tucked away in a side street. Small staff and patience required because they are all working hard to help everyone. We enjoyed the jamaican bowl. gyoza, spring rolls, and okonomiyaki.

Toll! Waren gleich mehrfach in 3 Tagen da! - Edit
Das Essen ist außergewöhnlich und mal was anderes. Total lecker und vielfältig. Meiner Familie (nicht vegan/vegetarisch) hat es auch super gefallen. Zitat: „Meine Geschmacksnerven sind explodiert.“ Werden zu 100% nochmal dahingehen, wenn wir das nächste Mal in Amsterdam sind! 10/10!! :)
