Feel good place and excellent food - Edit
Everything is vegan, it's not that expensive and the food is super tasty !

The place and the music are surprising in a good way !

ארוחה מדהימה. - Edit
מסעדה מקסימה, קצת מוזרה בעיצוב ובאווירה אבל בצורה חיובית. לאוכל יש טעם של בשר בצורה מפחידה (ברמה שאפילו היה לי קצת קשה לאכול כי לא האמנתי שזה טבעוני) והצוות מקסים. לא הייתי מפספסת :)

Amazing food - Edit
I had the crispy roti wrap and vegan cheesecake. The wrap was one of the tastiest things i’ve ever had (i just wanted to try everything else they had) but the service was quite poor. The owners were nice and friendly but not the most attentive and communicative. There was also only one large table to eat at which some people may like but i prefer a more private setting while eating out.

Strange, and quirky, but great - Edit
This was a very interesting experience whilst visiting Amsterdam. The chef/owner is very quirky and unique individual, which was not a bad thing. He gave us some great laughs and served us some lovely food. The restaurant was very quiet at the time we were there.
Read moreWe had the mixed vegan plate at was fantastic. We absolutely loved the vegan crispy fried chicken.
One criticism is that while walking in we were not greeted straight away and were a bit confused 🤷🏻♂️ .
The restaurant was also a little confusing to find as It is down one of the side streets. But is a fantastic find for any vegan in Amsterdam.
Pros: Friendly service , Fully vegan
Cons: Pricey , Not well sign posted

Food was very good but very slow and poor service - Edit
The food was lovely, and very filling. However, it took ages to come out and we got our drinks after we had finished our main course! So maybe not the best place to go if you're in a hurry!

Lovely food in relaxed atmosphere - Edit
We ate here on our first night in Amsterdam, the restaurant is definitely quirky! We sat ourselves and had to wait a little while to order but we were in no rush so weren't bothered by this. We both went for the Jamaican plate which was really tasty and satisfying.
Read morePros: laid back atmosphere, lots of options
Cons: not the place to go to if you're tight on time

Delicious and Quirky! - Edit
Relaxed, shabby atmosphere, fairly high prices, and great flavorful food!The menu listed items like 'vegan plate' and 'Jamaican plate' with no descriptions, but the staff was very kind and answered questions and made recommendations. It's super tiny in there, with one big communal table, and 2 two-tops and three seats at the front. I had the Jamaican plate and everything on it was delicious! A veg curry, a little salad with a blob of cold mashed potatoes on top (Why? Why not, I say! They were tasty), a large serving of Japanese rice, and a large breaded and fried banana slice. My husband had the burger but it was more like a po-boy as it had an open bun with a breadcrumbed baked vegan meat product (not a patty so much as an American would think of) with a thin layer of mayo-like dressing with added vegan cheese (like a thick creamy texture) and giant strips of vegan bacon that seemed similar to fake ham I've seen in Asian places before. It was odd but oh so good! We got those two entrees and one bottled drink and it was about 35 Euros. There was a strange smiling guy with a snake tattoo where one of his eyebrows should have been at the check out whose only job seemed to be to DJ the low key dub techno music they were playing. There was a dance event happening throughout the city that might explain Mr. DJ, but keep your eyes out for him, he was cool. They have a horrible, garrish mural along one whole wall so you've been warned.

In love with its vibes! - Edit
Magnificent place! Beautiful people working there and the fact that there's only one dining table so you should eat together with strangers makes everything even better. The food is a delicious fusion of Caribbean and Asian tastes.

Cons: Too greasy - I usually eat low-fat

the best food worldwide - Fact - Edit
I was hooked from the first bite, amazing food that excited the taste buds. Admittedly the restaurant front is a bit tired and could do with a refurb but when you start eating it’s soon forgotten. The family are pleasant and approachable. The only thing I’m upset about is their not based in the UK ha

Unusual vegan food - Edit
TerraZen is an unusual and quirky place to eat in Amsterdam.
Read moreThe menu is a chalked board, showing options with little description. Asking about the meals resulted in a vague description, with little details. A number of the options were inspired by Caribbean or Japanese food.
When the meals arrived, they didn't always match the descriptions - but were really interesting and tasty. For example, a "burger" with extra cheese turned out to be a section of split baguette with slices of coated tempeh; "chicken" nuggets; salad; and yes, some cheese on top - much better than expected and very tasty.
Cold dirnks are available on a shelf - you can just help yourself, and get it added to the bill.
Prices are a little high - but it is in the centre of Amsterdam, only a few minutes walk from Centraal station.
Not a standard restaurant - but well worth experiencing during a visit to Amsterdam.
Pros: Lovely vegan food, Unusual options, Friendly staff
Cons: A bit pricey, Can be a bit unpredictable - which can be a "pro"

Nice food, but overpriced - Edit
Food was nice, shared a Jamaican brown, and a vegan bowl, milkshake and cheer cake. Service was very slow (waited almost an hour for food), and staff were inattentive. Also was pretty overpriced for what it is.

It was OK - Edit
I've only been the once and people seem to rave about this place but I wasn't overly impressed.
Read moreI took my parents here while they were visiting Amsterdam and they were also not impressed. It's hugely overpriced for what it is. One of the bowl dishes was pretty good but the rest were pretty average for about EUR19, I expected more.
Pros: One of the dishes was very nice
Cons: It's expensive for what it is, Hole in the wall

Offers Caribbean Japanese comfort food that are delicious. Its easy getting in touch with other guests at one big table and chat. A bit disorganized but lovely people.

slow service - Edit
Came a second time in for dinner. The place only had the worker working. All the sitting places were messy with dirty plates. Had to sit ourselves down, only to have the man yell ( actually raised his voice) .because I lease the dirty plates where we sat. I have been to a lot of places in my life, this one was one of the worst by far. Sad to have such an experience in a vegan place, we left the moment he yelled.Hope they improve.

Excellent food. - Edit
Made a reservation for me, 7 of my colleagues who are omnivores and this resulted in us having the big table in the middle completely for us.
Read moreTo me it felt like a nice vegan community place, some kind of relaxed, Bob Marley style, now my colleagues weren't really that pleased with it.
They complained there was no wine or other alcohol, the table was never cleaned and pretty dirty and they didn't quite well understand what was on the menu.
At the end, we all decided to take the vegan plate.
One thing we all agreed on, was that the food was great and delicious.
Overall, it was a good experience for me as a vegan.
Pros: Excellent food
Cons: Small space, Not really clean, Was not attractive for omnivores

Better than expected! - Edit
We tried this place on our last night in town. We had the spring rolls, the roti wrap, and the Jamaican plate and I was blown away! Service was a little slow but I'm hoping that's because my dish was made fresh :)

barretta di cioccolato al latte buonissima! - Edit
Ho trovato una barretta di cioccolato al latte stupenda alle nocciole e poi ho preso una cheese cake ma quella non era poi un gran che... questo posto meriterebbe 5 stelle per il fatto che è vegano e dall'aspetto I piatti che servono sembrano deliziosi (non ho preso null'altro perché avevo giá mangiato) ma il ristorante è un po piccolo e l'aspetto e l'arredamento sarebbero opinabili... Mi rincresce dire che non sono dei fan della pulizia.. sono andata nel loro bagno e non l'ho trovato molto igienico.. lo stuff non è molto disponibile.. forse manca un po di organizzazione.. Il menu non era lunghissimo ed era scritto su una lavagnetta ma tutto era vegano. I prezzi beh non sono né troppo alti ne troppo bassi.. per i miei standard però direi che è un po caro.. Ritornerei per riprendermi quella barretta !!

Das Essen und auch die Auswahl waren wirklich gut, die Räumlichkeiten dagegen wirken etwas ungepflegt. Aber wie gesagt, das Essen macht es wett.
