In America, we would call this a convenience store...meaning it has all of the things that we need…read morebut it is not a big store. This was my place to buy bottles of water and snacks for my hotel room. I also would buy some beer here too, after picking up a pizza to go from San Marco Pizza just across the street. Nothing like a hot fresh pizza with a cold beer to wash it down. They also had some great deals on beer here too. I was able to get some cans for a euro...that is a great deal...plus the beer had like 9 percent alcohol...I call that a good deal. I was a little scared when I first walked in here but found the place nice after a few visits.

Nooit te veel vruchten! Solid selection of canned mixed drinks (try the scotch and soda). They also have cheetos and various other surprises for your consideration.

Late night craving and cigarette runs here I come. They do have everything I could really need at 2 am. Cheese. Drinks. Chocolate. Coffee. Smokes. More Chocolate. The people who work here are really nice too. The lady was helping another expat before me and was giving him a quick Dutch lesson. I listened in dutifully.

It's a huge space in a very nice part of Amsterdam away from the center. If you're here at an rental place or hotel - you're in the right place. I love their avocado broodje and their Chenin blanc wine (But can't drink in the store - take away only).

Kartika serves good Indonesian rijsttafel (multi-dish sampler of spicy meats, vegetables, rice, and…read morenoodles). I don't have Indonesian food where I live, so was excited to try this in Amsterdam. I thought the dishes were all flavorful and gave a good mix of meat, vegetable, and rice dishes. The individual servings were small, but filling enough because of the heavy coconut milk used in most dishes. 1 star off: The attitude of the waitstaff was abysmal. First of all, their website does not offer reservations and they rarely answer their phones. So my family and I arrived at restaurant opening to get a table. The first thing they said to us was "Do you have a reservation? If you don't, I can only give you a table if you get out by 6:30PM." in a stern way. We said okay. The group that came after me also raised the issue that no one at the restaurant answers their phone for reservations. The waitstaff did not respond to that, but begrudging seated them. 1 star off: While we were ordering food, the waitstaff noticed that my son had a water bottle with him, and proceeded to give him a lecture that water bottles are not allowed and that we have to order water from them. He is a teenager...he does not know he was supposed to conceal his water bottle at this restaurant. We all ordered drinks, including water, but the experience left my family feeling unwelcomed.

We had a great meal and very friendly considerate service. Great option for someone dairy free, I…read morewas able to eat everything.
