For starters we had jerk chicken wings. Which was delicious, I really enjoyed it and the jerk sauce was amazing as well. I had the curry goat, the meat was tender and just right, however it was lacking salt. Which is fine, that can happen at times. My friend enjoyed her meal as well. She found it to be a bit dry but that's because she didn't make use of the sauce that came with the meal because it was spicy. I love spicy food so i put the sauce on my food and it was very tasty. I enjoyed it a lot. Rita was very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend reggae rita to others. It feels like an affordable trip to jamaica.

Probably the best meal we had in Amsterdam (as well as cheapest, which made it taste all the…read morebetter)! If you have a strong spice and tolerance for bone shards, this is the place for you. I honestly appreciate the bone remnants for being in the meat in order to slow me down and allow me to savor the meal I so badly want to scarf down. I still think about their curries to this day! It's a fast casual spot and you order / pickup at the counter. Not the fanciest location but if you're optimizing for taste, this is your spot.

Staff don't bother to find tables for you; they let customers figure things out among themselves. Alright. We eventually grabbed a table after 5-10 minutes, then had our order taken 10 minutes later. The food took a long time to come out: about 40 minutes (other than 1 appy that came out after 20). Good thing it was tasty. We got: -plantain fries (€6) -- tasty, especially with the sweet dipping sauce, but you get about 8 fries, so not great value. -okonomiyaki (€12.90) -- this was wonderful. So many lovely textures, flavours, and seasoned beautifully. This was the highlight of the meal for me. -vegan plate (€18.90) -- really nicely designed plate, with a base of brown rice, with a sort of Japanese slaw, vegan chicken katsu, tempura (apparently, though I didn't notice it), and stir fried veggies. Super tasty stuff. Not the biggest portion, but not bad either. My friends each got the crispy roti wrap (€14.90), which they loved, and the taste I had was great. Overall, great food, not the best dining experience. Perhaps my experience wasn't representative. I'd go back for the okonomiyaki alone.

After you place your order, you need to line up again to get your food - you basically hand them your ticket and they'll just scoop the food onto a plate for you. It's all premade and ready, so it was really fast. The platter and the roti rolls are the same meat/sauce (they all come from the same container), just delivered differently. My favorite was definitely the lamb roti roll though, it was my preferred way to consume the lamb curry :) I'd recommend everything except maybe the duck, since that had too many bones in it. It had the best sauce though, so just prepare yourself for not a lot of meat if you decide to try it.

What resulted was a delicious roti wrap filled with lamb, potatoes and green beans. The lamb was cooked perfectly and with the peper sauce made every bite filling and tasty. Operations are quite slow though, as there is one person taking orders and another person making the food. They only make your order when you show up at the window. Still, everything is precooked so not too bad.

It's a busy, "basic" spot on the Warmoesstraat that specializes in Surinamese-Chinese fusion (locally known as "Surinese"). I'm a fan of most Asian cuisines, but I specifically come here for the Surinamese side of the menu. I recently had the Stir-Fried Noodles with Mixed Meats (Moksie Meti). The meats were flavorful, and I particularly liked the sweetness of the Chinese sausage. The dish was a bit plain overall, but for the price and the portion size, it definitely does the job. Food: Good, reliable comfort food. It reminds me a bit of something you'd find in a casual Hong Kong eatery. Service: Very fast and efficient. Don't expect much "small talk" or frills--they are focused on getting the food out hot and keeping the tables moving. Vibe: Crowded and unpretentious. It's a great "bargain" spot for a quick bite before catching a train or heading out for the night. Pro Tip: If you like some heat, try a little of their house sambal (hot sauce) on the side, but be careful--it's got a real kick! Overall, it's a dependable 3 or 4-star spot. It won't be the best meal you ever have in Amsterdam, but it's consistent, cheap, and much better than the surrounding tourist traps.

For those of you who have never had Surinamese food before (I know I hadn't!), it's a spicy blend of Indonesian, Caribbean and Dutch cuisine. Sounds strange, but it works! Everything we ate was so delicious. Spicy, well-seasoned, and hearty - we consumed every last bite. The portions were giant and the quality was amazing. Service was spectacular and the waitress was really friendly. Highly recommend for those wanting to adventure out and try some ethnic cuisine.

The menu items were inexpensive which my party were happy about, but when we made our selections it took so long for the food to come. I ordered a chicken meal with rice, and the chicken had bones in it that I almost choked on- it didn't say it ok the menu-guess I wasn't expecting it. The rice tasted okay but I was turned off from eating once my sister found a long black hair in her food. Once there's hair in food my stomach turns and I don't eat anymore. When my sister complained about the hair- the staff were staring at her like they didn't understand why she was upset- and were making it seem like she threw the hair in there. We also ordered some bread with our meal which never came and had to be sure it was taken off our check. Overall this experience was terrible and I wished we had gone to the steakhouse around the corner that I wanted to go to- but the people I was with wanted this place.
