I had a great first experience at SLA. I was in Amsterdam just for a few hours before a flight to Germany and found this place on Yelp. I used Google maps to navigate my way on foot from the Amsterdam main train station to their location, which was pretty easy and took maybe 15-20 min. Along the way I enjoyed observing life along the canals, and even came across a funky outdoor flea market, which I spent about 20 minutes perusing before walking the last block to SLA. The food here is very fresh and very flavorful. There are lots of salad combos to choose from, and you can also make your own, which I opted to do. I loved how colorful the final salad turned out - almost too pretty to eat! I started with a base of quinoa and lentils, added curried cauliflower, sweet potatoes, sprouts, avocado, beet hummus and shredded zucchini. There was a lemony, garlicky dressing I added too, but it almost didn't need it because the combination of crunchy fresh veggies with seasoned cooked veggies, plus the variety of textures, was overall very satisfying. The interior space is also really nice, with lots of light, and plenty of spots to sit upstairs. The only thing I would have liked better was having a tray to carry my drink, salad bowl and utensils all at once; as it was, because I was traveling with some luggage, I ended up making a few trips up and down the stairs to put things on the table. Having water upstairs would also be great, but I wasn't in a hurry, and going up and down stairs wasn't that much of a bother. I would imagine if you are local, you won't have the same issue. I look forward to visiting again next time I am in town.
I'm so happy Amsterdam has healthy options to add to their international food scene. After food hopping to so many tourist joints to eat pancakes, stroopwafels, cheese, I really wanted to eat something good yet healthy, and SLA was my option. My sister got the Thai sweet potato salad (cheapest on the menu). I only tried the sweet potato burger which I thought tasted a little weird cold. I got a create your own salad with curry couscous, cashew dressing, corn, edamame, curry cauliflower, sprouts, and tempeh. I really liked my salad! Ingredients tasted fresh. The only thing I would change is reduce the dressing by half.
I went here for the first time about a month ago. LOCATION: This location is in a less-busier area of the city. 3/5 ATMOSPHERE: The atmosphere is nice. It seems small when you walk in, but that's why I'd recommend their upstairs seating area, which is the best part of it. 3/5 SELECTION: It's mostly all salads/bowls, and they have lots of pre-set options, or you can build your own. I like that clearly label which items are vegan. 4/5 WHAT I GOT: I built a salad myself and got greens, black rice, cucumbers, tomatoes, and courgette (zucchini). It was pretty good. I know that probably sounds basic and boring, but I like simple food and I'm glad I could get it at SLA. The ingredients tasted fresh and not like they'd been sitting out for long. And, they seemed of pretty good quality too. 4/5 SERVICE: The service was good. The employee who assembled our bowls was nice and helpful. 4/5
SLA is my favorite thing about Amsterdam. I visit every time I'm in the city. This location has a secret seating area upstairs. The stairs are quite steep which makes carrying food and drink difficult, but it's worth it. I ordered the mint pea falafel salad and it was DELICIOUS! One of my favorites... and I've tried a lot of the menu!
SLA was so refreshing after eating SO MUCH BREAD and sweets all week. The employees are super nice, the décor is modern, and the food is great! I recommend the build your own salad with the balsamic sundried tomato dressing--its amazing. All the ingredients are super fresh and I love that they have unlimited water--not so common around here. Will definitely be back!
The Dutchies love their sandwiches in the afternoon, but I prefer something healthier. SLA is a great solution for a quick and healthy meal, that tastes good. The juices and teas are worth a mention too, they taste great. Love the interior, and not usually the case in Amsterdam... the personal always seems to be in a good mood. Very good concept, will go more into detail when I visited more often.
SLA is all about healthy and delicious food. They have a salad bar where you can choose a dish from the menu or create a dish of your own. Delicious lemon or cucumber water is served complementary and there's a great selection o teas. My only disappointment was the lack of coffee on the menu, but no big deal. :) And apparently it only is the case on Westerstraat. The portions are huuuuge and they also have soups, desert and organic wines. Everything can be also ordered to go or you can eat your food inside while enjoying beautiful clean and contemporary interior. read more here http://www.nansypop.com/food/sla-delicious-salad-bar-in-amsterdam/
Outpost from the popular salad restaurant in the Jordaan neighborhood of Amsterdam. I've been a few times to a different location of SLA, but this one was nice and quiet on a Thursday afternoon. The upstairs seating area makes it feel roomier than it is, and the salads are quick, healthy, and filling! A much better lunch option than a regular old sandwich or tosti!
YUM!!!!!! I loved this place. 10/10 if you're looking for a quick and delicious lunch. The food tasted so fresh. I'd say it's similar to a Sweetgreen for traveling Americans (but better). I'm mourning that there is no Sla in Mpls. Till next time. read more
A nice place to eat on the Westerstraat. It's quite large and has seating upstairs. I've never been to a SLA before, but it's certainly a healthy alternative. The portions were very large. I could barely finish my meal. We had the lunch deal and it included a wrap and soup. Very friendly staff there and it was very clean. She even waited on us at the table upstairs! Funny thing is, everyone else who was eating there looked very fit! Maybe a good sign. read more

Food was really good but I ordered a hot meal and it was on the cold side. The servers were so sweet too. Great healthy options for vegans, vegetarians, and those who are gluten free. I would definitely eat here again. read more

The best place for hearty and yummy salads/ veggie bowls in Amsterdam. I got the falafel salad and it didn't disappoint. I would come here everyday if I lived in Amsterdam. read more

I came to SLA and not speaking Dutch I asked them just to make me the best vegetarian salad, they did actually have an English menu but I went with their suggestion of the vegetarian chicken with thai red curry. The actually have a soy based chicken meat that was really tasty. Loved the mixture of cashews, azuki beans, sweet potatoes, and broccoli that made great use of the natural sweetness of certain veggies and legumes to make an awesome salad. For those times you feel like you need a nice nutritious salad to make you feel vibrant and alive SLA Is exactly what your body is craving. Wish I had a place just like this in every city I ever lived in. read more

If you're looking for something healthy, this is the place to go. Fresh, organic ingredients that are just plain delicious. They've got a few salads on the menu but I think the gem here is that you can create your own. I ordered a romaine salad with the balsamic/sundried tomato dressing, and then added quinoa, cucumbers, tomatoes and cauliflower. Topped it off with a hard boiled egg and some sprouts and voila- heaven in a bowl. The dressing was perfect- a little zesty but not overpowering. The amount they put on was also the perfect portion. The cauliflower was amazing! Roasted and not soggy at all. Take your food upstairs and grab yourself utensils and a cup of water. They've got plain, cucumber or mint infused, so take your pick. For dessert I got the raw carrot cupcake to go. Very delicious and full of flavor. Cupcake held together pretty well but will probably be best kept in the fridge in between bites. Icing on top sealed the deal. So glad I came to this relatively inexpensive (my total was 9 euro) cozy place. This is a neighborhood staple and I'll definitely be back. read more
