I got chicken with avocado and my friend took a vegan version that had black beans, avocado and dried banana. Food was made from fresh ingredients and it tasted delicious!

From the owner: Authentic Venezuelan soul food. The first Arepas shop in Amsterdam…read more Pale gold arepas, made from scratch daily, they have been described as "dense yet spongy corn-flour rounds, pita like pockets, corn muffins, white corn cakes, sandwiches of a flat cornmeal patty, soft and smooth within, golden crispiness, tasty treats, burrito-killer, panini-killer, wheat-free, gluten-free crisp on the outside, steamy-soft in the middle..." The best part is that Arepas can be filled with anything you want! From shredded beef, to melted cheese with black beans! Arepas are the result of dedication to homemade quality slow food. Straight from Venezuela, stuffed or plain, arepas can be a snack or a meal, exotic or familiar. Their versatility is probably their only constant and the reason why in Venezuela they are at the center of every meal; from breakfast to lunch, dinner, and the occasional party treat.

We walked over here because it was close to our hotel and they asked if we had a reservation. I was a little nervous we wouldn't be able to it here because it looked busy, but they saw our baby and told us to hold a moment. While we waited for .5 seconds they began assembling and cleaning off a high chair. Every single staff person smiled and waved at our baby, who loved all of the attention. We ordered chicken arepas, birria tacos, and beef nachos. Everything had so much flavor! Feels weird to say that it was some of the best Mexican food I've had in awhile, but it really had the right spice, bold flavors, and fresh. We also ordered a Mexican tiramisu to go and WOAH. It did not miss either!

What a find this place was-- thanks, Yelp! We started off with a Fernandes drink. The lady behind…read morethe counter hooked us up with the house brew, which tasted like bubble gum had a baby with ginger and coriander. It was unlike anything else I've ever tried. She was super nice and patient with our language barrier. The menu is almost entirely in Dutch, and so we had to google a lot of things. We ended up getting the Geit Kerrie and Thaise Kip. The goat curry came with curry potatoes and green beans, served with roti as you would expect in any West Indian place. It was phenomenally good and perfectly spicy. The Thaise Kip was a chicken, cashew, and veggie dish was served with rice and pickled onions. We were similarly wowed by this dish. Because of the wide variety of flavor profiles available in Surinamese cooking, from Curry with roti to stir fries, this is a restaurant where anyone will find something to their liking. If you do not speak Dutch, simply pull out your google translate and let this secret spot blow your mind.

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.

Met volle magen en een glimlach keken we elkaar aan. Dit was genieten. Echt goed, lekker en met liefde bereid. We komen hier zeker terug!
