Jamaican food in Amsterdam - Edit
We had the Jamaican ginger beer, Coconut milkshake, vegan bacon, Crispy Roti wrap and the Karage Donburi. The drinks were good, the food was standard, chicken was a bit tough to chew. The bacon was tasty.

Average and messy - Edit
Not my favourite. Little and not so clean. Food is more like junk food rather than pseudo soul food as they probably meant, and for that kind of food there are better places. Crowdy, you may have to wait to be seated. Staff is very nice though.
Read morePros: Vegan refuge in the very centre of town
Cons: Crowdy

Delicious and comfy - Edit
Every item we ordered was great. We had vegan chicken, samosas, salad with avocado and gyoza. Funny mix of unhealthy and healthy, like fried things with brown rice and side salad. The prices were also okay. The waiter confused the orders once but that didn’t matter because the food was great anyway. All in all a great little hidden comfy soul food place.
Read morePros: one of the best places I know, nice atmosphere, friendly staff
Cons: toilet out of service

Tasty cool - Edit
Good food but 16€ for rice salad and curry I think is a little overpriced.
Read moreService was quick and the staff were nice. It’s a good vibe inside, but I wouldn’t go often given the high prices.
Pros: Good food, Good vibe
Cons: Expensive

Awesome! - Edit
We stayed in Amsterdam for a week and went to TerraZen three times during our trip. It was delicious!
Read moreThe place is IMO very weird looking, but after a minute or two I felt very welcome, it almost seemed like coming to someone's home and actually feeling the warmth and welcomeness. The workers were super friendly, a bit shy, but still very lovely and nice to us.
The prices were quite high, but it was expected for Amsterdam.
But the food, holy hell [censored], son! The food was amazing! I've never eaten such kind of a food combo, I was so impressed!
Really go try it out, if you're in Amsterdam. You really won't regret it! Totaly worth the money!
‐---------------
Edit (august 2019):
Was in Amsterdam again and went for a lunch in TerraZen again. It was exactly as I remembered. The place was a bit more tidy than last time. But the food was absolutely delicious. They added more options and it was really hard to decide on just one.
The place was full but I got my order in about 15minutes.
Def wanna go again when I'm in the city!
Pros: Drop dead delicious food!, Really friendly workers, Welcoming and cosy place
Cons: Could maybe try to make it seem a bit more tidy

Great food but poor service - Edit
The food here is really nice but it can take up to an hour to arrive. I don't understand how it takes so long even if the meal is made fresh. I've been put off going here because of having to be somewhere else at a certain time and not being able to rely on food coming out on time.
Read morePros: Vegan and tasty
Cons: food takes forever to be served

Wish I could give it more stars - Edit
The food was tasty, a little oily but that was expected, what was not expected was the incredibly slow service. The lack of soap in the bathroom is really what made the experience unpleasant. I’m sure there’s another restroom in the back for the employees, but not being able to wash your hands properly is off-putting.
Read morePros: Food was spiced very well, had good flavor
Cons: No soap in the restroom , Service was slow

God mad elendig service - Edit
Maden var god, vi bestilte 2 forskellige retter, forskellig anretning, men total ens tilberedt, total ens fødevare, alt var ens, undtagen anretning hmmm
Read moreServicen var elendig, total uengageret, glemte min smoothie, ryddede ikke af, der var lidt nusset over det hele. Det kræver så lidt og rette op, men tænker de er ligeglade

A Slice of Vegan Heaven - Edit
A fusion of Caribbean and Japanese food, homemade and cooked to order. Yes the service maybe not be the fastest but if you go when it opens at 12pm you’ll be in the queue with everyone else who’s going at 12pm!!!
Read moreThey’re just a very popular restaurant and have a tiny kitchen working magic with a few precious staff making incredible food from scratch.
I recommend that if you don’t have much time or you’re in a rush then forget it!!! Go back another day!!!!
If however you’re happy to go place your order and have a drink then you can sit and wait and drool with envy at all the plates that are being delivered to your neighbours!!! With greedy eyes and wishing ‘I’d ordered that instead’!!!!
Every time we go back to Amsterdam we visit and are slowly working through the menu!
Go and eat and be in your own little piece of vegan heaven😉
Pros: Everything 100% Vegan , Great atmosphere! , Best food ever!

Just like back home. - Edit
This place reminded me of the Jamaican spots I used to go to back home in Brooklyn. Of course, with a twist. The food and place felt authentic, like how your grandma or auntie might serve you back home. I only ate there once, but I will, most definitely, be making many return trips to this place whenever I’m back in Amsterdam.
Read morePros: Authentic

Awesome food! - Edit
The food was really tasty and the portions were big, which I like. I ate the spring rolls, which was the best I’ve ever had, and vegan ramen! The staff was friendly too. The place was not the easiest to find though and it could have been cozier. But it was good.

Warning: very slow service, but excellent vegan food - Edit
This is by far my FAVORITE vegan spot at Amsterdam. The vegan sushi and meat/rice dishes are so delicious, omg. I was craving asian food so badly, and this hit the spot lol. One thing that’s super unattractive about this restaurant is the slow service. They took way too long to seat us, cook us our food, and give us water. They didn’t even give us water until I asked the waiter!!! They really need to fix this aspect of this restaurant because it almost made the experience unbearable. However - the food is SO delicious. So I applaud their chef!
Read morePros: DELICIOUS, real vegan food., Lots of options and versatile menu.
Cons: Terrible, slow, frustrating service., Small restaurant and dirty bathroom.

Awful service, amazing food. - Edit
I went here on a hot summer day. They didn't have AC and there is little to no ventilation. The server was pleasant, but the service was awfully slow. It was generally a horrible experience except for the food which was amazing. I would go again, but only on a cooler day when I have plenty of time.

מסעדה מפתיעה - Edit
בקושי ניתן למצוא את המקום שנראה ״לא משהו״ ולכן ההפתעה מאיכות המנות גדולה. יש מגוון מנות מאוד מאוד טעימות ובהחלט נחזור למסעדה בביקורנו הבאים באמסטרדם.

Excellent - Edit
Very unique spot. I got the Lady Plate, nice sized portion and absolutely delicious. Whatever they’re doing to their brown rice, I wish I could figure out. Not to be missed if you’re a vegan visiting Amsterdam.

So tasty - Edit
This place was small but packed with flavour and big meals! I had the home made Raman and my boyfriend had the vegan plate, with a side of spring rolls. Great flavours! Will be going back to try the vegan zushi!

Delicious! - Edit
100% vegan restaurant a little hidden away behind the busy streets of Amsterdam. The people there were nice and we had a couple of questions they could answer. The food was really tasty and delicious. We had to order a take-away because its a small restaurant and is very busy on saturdays. But that didnt bother us at all.
Read morePros: They had a nice meny with many option and deserts.
Cons: The good food comes with a price!
