It's not your typical "dinner out" spot--it's a humble counter inside a subway station--but the food is arguably some of the best Surinese soul food in Amsterdam. Why it's worth the stop: * The Sandwiches: The Broodje Pom is the star here. It's flavorful, authentic, and served on a fresh roll. * Efficiency: They move through the line fast. It's the ultimate grab-and-go meal that actually feels homemade. * Authenticity: It's local, unpretentious, and consistently high quality. Things to know: It is located inside the station, so there's no "ambience" to speak of and seating is very limited. It's definitely more of a "stand and eat" or "take it to the park" kind of place. Overall: It might not be a fancy sit-down experience, but for the price and the flavor, it's easily one of the best quick bites in the city.

It was recommended we try out Surinamese cuisine while in Amsterdam so we found De Hapjeshoek. It's…read morelocated inside the Waterlooplein station / not visible at street level. We came during the dinner rush and it was packed inside. Since it was my first time, I wasn't sure what to order so I asked for recommendations. We tried the noodles with beef, and rice with chicken. It's relatively affordable given the large portions. Tasty and reminded me of a mix of Chinese and Indian food. I found an eyelash in my noodles though :(

The windows are big and it feels like when you eating in a cozy living room. There is also a terrace where you can have you dinner outside. For only 35 euro's you can choose your own 3-courses dinner! The kitchen is French, but also have some Spanish and Asian influences. Next to the organic meat and fish, there are also delicious oysters as an appetizer, vetarian dishes and also incredible desserts which you definately cannot skip! For example the chocolate dessert which comes with 3 different chocolatemousse!

The front is a busy bar which had a hip crowd, a nice selection of gin (which I unfortunately food not sample). In the back there are tables providing an atmosphere more suited for conversation. Service was fast and attentive, and gave us a table for one hour (since we had not made any reservation). This was no problem since since and food came promptly. Food was reasonable in price and great tasting, although some would find the portions small. I found them just right. Get some home made French fries on the side if you are hungry. At the end the single espresso was really good. Recommended.

I came here with a few friends to try some Surinamese food in Amsterdam, as I heard it is one of…read morethe most well integrated cuisines in the Netherlands. Having never had it before, I was pleasantly surprised to see how many different parts of Asia seemed to influence this cuisine, especially given that Suriname is a South American country! There is satay, nasi goreng, goat curry, etc - stuff inspired from all over Asia but slightly different than you would get in their original countries. I ordered the chicken Longtong which is an Indonesian dish and a specialty of this place. It was OUTSTANDING and really filled me up too. I did not expect that especially given how nice and cheap it was - I had even ordered an extra side of Satay skewers which I then had to share. Service is nice and quick especially since you mostly just interact at the back stand to order, and then sit down. It was a bit crowded inside but the vibe is nice and we were able to get a table without waiting too much. One minor note is that our cards were not accepted here (visa, Mastercard), so make sure you bring cash! They did a good job of communicating this before we ordered so we did not have to waste too much time, and luckily we had just enough cash anyway. Overall, very solid recommendation for Amsterdam! Surinamese food is not to be missed.
