Bad experience...

After all the reviews we really expected more from this place! The place is quite dirty and there is almost no place to seat. The food was a good, but a little disappointing for the price, since the portion was really small. The takeout containers was also not professional at all, they don't even had a Takeout cup (It is impossible to carry a juice in a bicicle in a opened cup). Would not recommend...

Pros: Friendly staff, Good food

Cons: Dirty place, No place to seat, Small portions

trust your instincts

My sister and husband were with me when we finally found this hole in the wall. And yes, this is what it was, a hole in the wall, and not in a good way. Very bad vibes when we looked in. The owner looked and acted high, the one table had an oil cloth on it, which probably started out as a regular cotton cloth, but over the years, it had probably never been washed, the "oiled" look, probably from the oil in the air. We walked by here two times, one time being brave enough to just go inside. We should have trusted our instincts. The stench was enough to make us make a beeline out of there. There is nothing quaint, or "chill" about the place. It's a dump. If it looks dirty and the smell is bad, that is your indication that it's time to find another restaurant. If it's dirty IN the restaurant, what do you think the kitchen looks like??? No, not cool. If this were in the US, the Dept of Health would shut the place down, period. Not worth it.

Definitely not for pretentious customers. I eat here several times a year. The food IS excellent though and the owner & his wife are very nice people. Luckily, this place is NOT in the US and luckily not everything in the world is like the US. Don't ever go to India, you would starve! ;-)

never again!

Not a restaurant! Looks like an illegal restaurant. Went with a friend, some people where there already. We ordered, and waited...all the people had the time to eat and leave and be replaced by other people before we were served. I was served after over 1 hour after we arrived some people who arrived after us were served before I was. I asked about where was my food and the "waitress" looked annoyed as f*** when I asked about it. They served 2 or 3 people before I received my plate about 30minutes after my friend... no Sorry for the delay, no explanation... no toilet and... my food wasn't so great for the price but my friend order (the wrap) was good... I Will probably never go there EVER again.

Pros: it's vegan

Cons: everything else

ok

Food was good but way to expansive for what you got. Would give this place higher rating if the waitress didn't ask inappropriate questions/things.

not great.

Says it opens at 12:30, owner turned up at 1pm, we finally got in to be told the toilet was broken so had to leave, find a Toilet then go back. Looked at the menu (chalk board in the corner) and didn't really know what anything was as everything had very basic descriptions. After seeing prices and noticing the place was quite dirty and messy we left! Wouldn't go back unfortunately.

schrecklich

Sorry, aber ich versteh den Hype nicht. Das es unordentlich ist, hatte ich ja schon gelesen. Wären die Bewertungen nicht so gut gewesen, wäre ich sofort wieder raus gegangen.
Ich hatte die vegane Platte für 16€. Dachte eigentlich, dass es genug für zwei ist, aber es war nur ein kleiner Teller. Es war Hähnchen, grillgemüse, Kürbis und ein Blatt Salat auf dem Teller. Das Hähnchen war gut. Der Rest war ok. Der Brookie war schon gelb und blühte. Total eklig angerichtet und dann musste ich die ganze Zeit daran denken, wie es wohl in der Küche aussehen muss. Als ich die Portion gesehen habe war ich echt sauer und wütend. Schade um das Geld! Dort laufen drei Jungs rum, keine Ahnung was die dort machen. Es war unheimlich und ekelhaft. Nie wieder!

Cons: unhygienisch, teuer, ekelhaft

Not open?

Travelled all the way to the restaurant that said it was open for it to be closed with nothing in the window but “closed till Thursday” what an absolute waste of time.

Cons: They say they’re open when they aren’t

Terribly disappointed

I wanted to live this place! We have tried it 2 x the first was an evening we were going to the theater so didn't have a lot of time. We were the only people there and both owners were there. We ordered a special that sounded nice, rice with veggies and tofu it was 14€ it took an hour before food arrived. The rice was not cooked and it was a very small portion. The woman owner was frustrated running around the whole time and the rasta owner was very unfriendly and just kept coming in and out and distracting het from cooking. It was not clean on the eating area or the kitchen. Frustrated and still very hungry we ran to get falafel before the theater.
I have them another chance with guests when we are hungry from a day of exploring we decided to give them another chance. This time there were 2 other people and it took an hour and a half to get out food. This time it was cooked at least but nothing was particularly good. Second impression was that it is unhygenic expensive very slow and mediocre.

Disgusting customer service

This place has the most appalling customer service that I have ever had the misfortune to visit. I went with my girlfriend for dinner and ordered a roti for a starter - the roti that arrived was dry, tasteless, not cooked properly and just awful.

We asked the waiter if we could return it in exchange for something else, but he told us in a very rude manner that all the rotis are like that, and gave the classic line "No one else complains about them."

When it came to paying we asked to have the roti taken off the bill, but the manager and revolting chef said again that no one ever complains about the roti (of course they'd say that) and refused. We ended up paying anyway just to leave as quickly as we could, and vowed never to go back to that pig sty of a restaurant.

What else? The food took forever to arrive and was bland, there was chaos trying to seat people, the toilet was unclean, drinks were very overpriced and the staff were generally unpleasant.

It was a disappointing and quite shocking experience for an Amsterdam restaurant, I will never, ever go back and would never recommend it to anyone. I give it one star, so ignore the extra on that Happy Cow adds.
