The best authentic Jamaican food in the Netherlands. A really cozy restaurant with good vibes.read more

I went along with a friend who wanted to have some oxtail. Unfortunately oxtail had sold out so we…read morehad to settele for curry goat with rice and jerk chicken with rice and peas. 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.

Jamaicanmecrazy, ja man!…read more Passing by this shop I was like WTF, a Jamaican takeaway. How come I don't know about this place?! Turns out, they only recently opened. Hell yes, A'dam was in desperate need of Jamaican takeaway!!! Sure, you've got Planet Rose. But sometimes you want to eat ya curry goat in tha privacy of ya own home, ya hear! Not sure if I'm such a big fan of the crowd hanging in front of the shop though. Reminded me of high school, but I'm a big girl now and nothing was gonna keep me from trying out Jamaica's national dish ackee & saltfish! They normally serve it with some rice (but I asked for the fried dumplings instead), fried plantains and a few slices of tomato and cucumber. Yeah, Jamaicans don't really seem te eat lot a veggs with their protein. So, if you want your veggs, you need to order a seperate portion of callaloo or okra. Hard food = Jamaican for yam. It's hard, it's food, of course.... hard food. Today for specials, they also had fish tea. For just €3,50, I got a big cup of Jamaica in a bowl!!! Oh my lordy lord, that was some seriously good fish soup! Try the sorrel ginger drink. Fiery and not too sweet! They saran wrap the shit out of your takeaway so none that goodness gets spilled. Rose move over, there're new boyz in town and I hope they're here to stay!!

Came here with a couple of friends (one who lives in Amsterdam) per her roommate's suggestion. The…read moreentire menu was in Dutch and we had never eaten Surinamese food, so we just picked a few random items. We had roti, crispy noodles, some beef dish, and eggrolls. 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.

We decided on this restaurant because of the yelp reviews saying how great it was. Big mistake…read morelistening to yelp reviewers. The service was slow and the restaurant didn't look very clean. 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.

Very eclectic place. Great food, not the greatest service or comfortable dining experience. 4/5 for…read morethe food; 3/5 overall. We arrived around 6:30pm for dinner. 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.

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.

Went alone to check out the "Pom" based on the first review. The restaurant is very small and…read moremodestly outfitted--you'll probably be happier ordering the food to go. I ordered the rice with "Pom" for €8. It's very tasty, especially if you add the sauces provided in separate containers; it reminded me of tastes from Indian, Malaysian, and Indonesian cuisines, but I couldn't really find any South American or Jewish influences (the prior review mentioned Jewish cuisine). My main complaint is that there was quite a lot of rice but not very much pom! (I'm pretty sure this was not an €8 appetizer.) Glad to have tried it out, but the meager decor and portions make it unlikely I'll return.
