I ordered the patacones picantes, which is two patties of fried green plantain topped with delicious steak, onions and tomatoes. It was on the starter menu but it was big enough for a nice lunch. Open since 2012, clearly the locals know about it - everyone here besides me is speaking Spanish. Definitely give this little place a chance - it's great!

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 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!

It's disappointing because everything else was amazing but when service is terrible it makes it hard to enjoy the meal. Not sure on her name but I recommend trying to get the blonde/brownish hair waitress instead. She seemed to provide much better service. I never leave reviews but this was the worst service I've had in the Netherlands.

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.
