    Custom salad with quinoa, lentils, avocado, beet hummus, curried cauliflower, sweet potatoes and shredded zucchini
    Jen P.

    I had a great first experience at SLA. I was in Amsterdam just for a few hours before a flight to Germany and found this place on Yelp. I used Google maps to navigate my way on foot from the Amsterdam main train station to their location, which was pretty easy and took maybe 15-20 min. Along the way I enjoyed observing life along the canals, and even came across a funky outdoor flea market, which I spent about 20 minutes perusing before walking the last block to SLA. The food here is very fresh and very flavorful. There are lots of salad combos to choose from, and you can also make your own, which I opted to do. I loved how colorful the final salad turned out - almost too pretty to eat! I started with a base of quinoa and lentils, added curried cauliflower, sweet potatoes, sprouts, avocado, beet hummus and shredded zucchini. There was a lemony, garlicky dressing I added too, but it almost didn't need it because the combination of crunchy fresh veggies with seasoned cooked veggies, plus the variety of textures, was overall very satisfying. The interior space is also really nice, with lots of light, and plenty of spots to sit upstairs. The only thing I would have liked better was having a tray to carry my drink, salad bowl and utensils all at once; as it was, because I was traveling with some luggage, I ended up making a few trips up and down the stairs to put things on the table. Having water upstairs would also be great, but I wasn't in a hurry, and going up and down stairs wasn't that much of a bother. I would imagine if you are local, you won't have the same issue. I look forward to visiting again next time I am in town.

    Thai sweet potato salad and create your own salad

    I'm so happy Amsterdam has healthy options to add to their international food scene. After food hopping to so many tourist joints to eat pancakes, stroopwafels, cheese, I really wanted to eat something good yet healthy, and SLA was my option. My sister got the Thai sweet potato salad (cheapest on the menu). I only tried the sweet potato burger which I thought tasted a little weird cold. I got a create your own salad with curry couscous, cashew dressing, corn, edamame, curry cauliflower, sprouts, and tempeh. I really liked my salad! Ingredients tasted fresh. The only thing I would change is reduce the dressing by half.

    I went here for the first time about a month ago. LOCATION: This location is in a less-busier area of the city. 3/5 ATMOSPHERE: The atmosphere is nice. It seems small when you walk in, but that's why I'd recommend their upstairs seating area, which is the best part of it. 3/5 SELECTION: It's mostly all salads/bowls, and they have lots of pre-set options, or you can build your own. I like that clearly label which items are vegan. 4/5 WHAT I GOT: I built a salad myself and got greens, black rice, cucumbers, tomatoes, and courgette (zucchini). It was pretty good. I know that probably sounds basic and boring, but I like simple food and I'm glad I could get it at SLA. The ingredients tasted fresh and not like they'd been sitting out for long. And, they seemed of pretty good quality too. 4/5 SERVICE: The service was good. The employee who assembled our bowls was nice and helpful. 4/5

    Mint pea falafel salad
    Katie C.

    SLA is my favorite thing about Amsterdam. I visit every time I'm in the city. This location has a secret seating area upstairs. The stairs are quite steep which makes carrying food and drink difficult, but it's worth it. I ordered the mint pea falafel salad and it was DELICIOUS! One of my favorites... and I've tried a lot of the menu!

    SLA was so refreshing after eating SO MUCH BREAD and sweets all week. The employees are super nice, the décor is modern, and the food is great! I recommend the build your own salad with the balsamic sundried tomato dressing--its amazing. All the ingredients are super fresh and I love that they have unlimited water--not so common around here. Will definitely be back!

    Healthy salads and drink at Sla, westerstraat

    The Dutchies love their sandwiches in the afternoon, but I prefer something healthier. SLA is a great solution for a quick and healthy meal, that tastes good. The juices and teas are worth a mention too, they taste great. Love the interior, and not usually the case in Amsterdam... the personal always seems to be in a good mood. Very good concept, will go more into detail when I visited more often.

    This was the Greener than Green and absolutely amazing.

    This place had fresh ingredients and gave you a good size portion. It was the best salad bowl with the right combination of dressings.

    Food was really good but I ordered a hot meal and it was on the cold side. The servers were so sweet too. Great healthy options for vegans, vegetarians, and those who are gluten free. I would definitely eat here again.

    The best place for hearty and yummy salads/ veggie bowls in Amsterdam. I got the falafel salad and it didn't disappoint. I would come here everyday if I lived in Amsterdam.

    SLA is all about healthy and delicious food. They have a salad bar where you can choose a dish from the menu or create a dish of your own. Delicious lemon or cucumber water is served complementary and there's a great selection o teas. My only disappointment was the lack of coffee on the menu, but no big deal. :) And apparently it only is the case on Westerstraat. The portions are huuuuge and they also have soups, desert and organic wines. Everything can be also ordered to go or you can eat your food inside while enjoying beautiful clean and contemporary interior. read more here http://www.nansypop.com/food/sla-delicious-salad-bar-in-amsterdam/

    Outpost from the popular salad restaurant in the Jordaan neighborhood of Amsterdam. I've been a few times to a different location of SLA, but this one was nice and quiet on a Thursday afternoon. The upstairs seating area makes it feel roomier than it is, and the salads are quick, healthy, and filling! A much better lunch option than a regular old sandwich or tosti!

You can also create your own salad and choose all the ingredients. I also a had juice; apple/pear/mint. Delicious! Well it should be because its pretty damn expensive. 5 euros, and not even a big glass.. But well, it was good. There is also free water which is nice. The interior was beautiful and cozy. It really felt good and I felt very relaxed. I really like Venkel! I thought SLA was the best but now I like Venkel even more. The salads just taste amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Just try it soon!

We were able to get seated right on the window area. We chose menu 5, which was just enough for two people. Everything was delicious! Their pea soup is out of this world. Don't know why as it is a simple dish but wow! I also love their herring. It was so delicious that I wanted seconds. It paired so well with their onions and mustard. And their bitterballen was just enough bite. Creamy and crispy! We also got a combination of the hutspot. They were all delicious! Although for me the meatball was just a tad bit salty but it is probably just me! Everything else was spot on. I love their dessert at the end. It was a great way to end the night.

We did not have one but they were happy to seat the 2 of us and invited us to switch tables once another couple left (they were checking out). Small space, can accommodate groups of 2-4, cozy atmosphere, lots of the traditional blue and white ceramics on the wall (dishes and tiles). Traditional Dutch cuisine: we ordered the Boerenkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and Zuurkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and a slice of apple pie to share for dessert. The food arrived piping hot in about 20 minutes. It was sooo delicious--the tasty juicy sausage pairs perfectly the mashed potatoes with either sauerkraut or kale. The apple pie was also tasty--larger chunks of apple and more spices less sugar than American apple pie from what I can tell. Perfect with whipped cream. A must visit if you're in Amsterdam and want to try traditional fare. Highly recommended!
