Benji’s in Westlandgracht

Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Due to crowds we could only sit in the self-service section upstairs. But if you order, they will bring it for you. Your order will be taken at the table in the downstairs area. Quality of the food was also great!

Food is good, but the service and vibe is great. Very nice place for a quick lunch. Orders come out very fast as well. Prices are quite reasonable considering it's still Amsterdam after all.

good but overcooked eggs, and drinks weren’t they good

Today, at 3:38 PM, my son and I were turned away with the explanation that the kitchen had already closed. I am aware that your official closing time is 4:00 PM, so it was quite disappointing to be refused service nearly 25 minutes before closing. When I mentioned that you still had 25 minutes until closing, I was told, ‘It hasn’t been a busy day, so we did our last round and closed the kitchen.’ This experience was truly frustrating. I would recommend updating your closing time to 3:30 PM if this is a regular practice.

Had a nice lunch, highly recommended to try the menu!

Excellent breakfast... 100% recommended

Nice place, friendly staffs, perfect food!

Very very very slow staff. Have been there for 4 times, and with all times a simple coffee takes 15-20min. Last time, after 25min they still didn’t make drinks. In short: staff is kindly but they have no clue what they are doing.. no structure, no communication, no team, only one guy was working hard. Sadly we left the place.

Wait half an hour before you get a seat, even though there are empty seats. They are only set up for 2 people at a table, adding a chair is not possible in their view. Too few staff is scandalous. Finally sat down at an empty table

It's a very nice place, but unfortunately the coffee is really of poor quality... it would be so nice if it would get better!

It was perfect. We had breakfast twice. 😉

Super nice place and not to be missed I had a chicken Katsu that was really delicious The fries with truffles are also super good Friendly staff Cozy atmosphere And very good prices

After several visits to Benji's, I remain a fan of the service, coffee and certainly the chicken Katsu!

Very good breakfast! My wife and I were super happy with our breakfast! Good service and good food. The only negative is perhaps that the coffee was a bit stingy, could be a bit bigger coffee for that price. We are going back already tomorrow.

Unfortunately, we found this a bit disappointing. The French toast in particular was extremely small. We often have lunch out and it is quite normal to have at least 2 pieces of toast to serve on 1 plate...as "French toast" We were served 1 very small piece of toast. (It should be said that the waitress corrected this for us... the cook made a slightly larger toast...) The brioche eggstraordinary was okay. Again, not a tour de force.

It's super tasty food; just the arrogance that sometimes hangs among the staff. This is also one of the few places in Amsterdam where you have to wait for a spot even if it is completely empty. If you still sit down, they get angry.

Nice place! Food is good and fresh, enough options. Customer friendly waitresses, very nice. Outside terrace with various seating areas. Inside it is spacious and looks cozy and attractive. Toilet is clean. Overall very satisfied. Will come here more often.

Really good food, the service was nice as well. Coffee was good as well.

I come here every week for breakfast. This is due to the fast and good service and the nice atmosphere. really nice place!

Hidden gem restaurant in the neighbourhood. Nicely decorated inside, but also great for enjoying the sun in the terrace. Fresh, good quality food and great service overall.

Pricey for 1 thick slice of bread. Quality excellent!

Best restaurant brunch ㄹㅇ Korean come on

Ate here today and it was so delicious! Nice atmosphere, very good service from the host/madam and nice that Halal meat is served. I come here more often! It's great that you can also work here with your laptop 😉

Good food, the service also top. The atmosphere of Benji's is always people eating or drinking.

Bad service!!! We were ignored and other guests who came after us and didn't have reservations were served. I hope that doesn't apply to all of Benji's, we'll try another one now because we've only heard positive things. Too bad.

It's a cool place for work cafe, you can enjoy your coffee and work from there, they have also got good food options, only drawback is nearby parking which is quite expensive so unless you don't live nearby, parking is around 6 euro per hour

Food is good, atmosphere is good. You can spend quite a while here. A place to relax! And that certainly applies to the service; the same order was first given to the table next to me after half an hour (who came in later) and allow at least half an hour for a (second) cup of coffee. So take your time when you visit this place!

Food is fine but the service is really dramatic! We sit outside and after half an hour we still don't get a menu, so we end up having to get it ourselves. Then after fifteen minutes I have to walk back inside because the waiter does not come to take our order. It then takes another 40 minutes for the food to arrive. The staff around there also seem to be of little interest.

Racist Staff. Treated us like trash compared to all the other white people never coming here again. Had to wait 3 hours for food and drink while not even being busy. Food was wrong and also the drink. They charged us for something we didnt even order and said they forgot what table the food had to go to even thought there were only two tables with people atm. The food was bland and the staff was very inconsiderate and lazy

One of my favourite breakfast places. Prices are reasonable, tasty food. It's in the quite area and much less crowded then the other Benjis

Super tasty breakfast. Fast service. We will come back again.

Food fantastic, but service dramatic; took a very long time, forgot to order and was unfortunately quite finished

Nice place, spacious and large inside with lots of daylight and a neat terrace. Delicious toasty with burrata and an even tastier scone. Nice staff, great cappuccino. I hope they stay.

A stylish restaurant for an afternoon break. Everything great.

We celebrate our friends’ birthday here. Gezellig place and good food. Recommend you the burger katsu! Katsu was juicy and crispy. Bun was perfect! Great place for party above 10 people.

Amazing service. This cafe is one of the reasons why I will revisit Amsterdam. The falafel was to die for. Absolutely dreamy.

Relaxed atmosphere + good brunch food ❤️ loved the Eggcentric burger though it's a lot. I've been here twice but never managed to snap a picture because I couldn't wait to eat it 🍴

The food was very nice. We only had to wait quite a while to be able to order something.

Good food, actually. Eggstraordinary bun with omelette and caramelized onions delicious. For Smashed Avo you need extra lemon and olive oil, which was not provided upon request (but a piece of lime). Coffee ok, chai latte too weak. Service is a problem, the waitress's gaze wanders past, no one asks if you need anything else, as is usual in good shops. A cook sees that we call, but doesn't tell the waitress. In the toilet you have to turn the end of the faucet to let water flow, too tricky for a café. Ambience good, you just need good people to serve. Ah, menus dirty, not even wiped, see picture.

Great place and always full. Quality food, I love the avocado toast. Their smoothie is very good too and the atmosphere is wonderful to spend a few hours chatting with friends.

Arriving 3 pm on a Sunday to hear that the staff decided to close the kitchen because it is quiet. I wonder if the owners of this place are aware.

Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere

So so so good. every bite lets out a “yummmmm”. Highly recommend the mango hummus toast & the eggstrordinary bun. The presentation is so beautiful. Only improvement would be the coffees although they are fine too!

Food and vibes were great, a bit pricey but overall alright. We asked to split the bill and were told they don’t do this because “it takes too much time”. After requesting this several times, the employee rolled her eyes and finally split the bill for us. It took just a few seconds. Uncomfortable situation that made the overall experience not as great as it could have been.

I very much like this place, the portions are a bit smaller lately!

The food is okey, the service not to good, the drinks take forever the bartender is eating fries with sauce with her hands and not cleaning them after and continues making drinks witch I consider disgusting.

Really delicious breakfast! Price-performance is definitely right. We would come back at any time 😊

I live in the neighbourhood and Benji's is definitely the best brunch spot in this area - I love the atmosphere and all the plants they have inside the restaurant. It feels like you're in the jungle and it just makes the experience so nice. I've been there more than 10 times and the food never disappoints - I am always looking to try something new in the menu. Last time I went I tried their falafel bowl and it was really good - the sauce was delicious.

Went twice and ordered the same - egg brioche, chicken brioche, and French toast. The caramel used onions made the eggs brioche extremely tasty, so we had to come back for it. Totally recommend, the best brunch place we tried in Amsterdam. We were on our laptops working, the place is quiet, suitable for work and even quiet enough for meetings.

Lovely place for a spot of breakfast! Incredible menu with plenty for everyone! Mouthwatering food, lovely drinks, excellent atmosphere, highly recommend.

Vegetarian food is great, staff is super friendly and vibe is stunning. Went twice in a row while visiting Amsterdam. Try Mango Humus, it is amazing 🤩

I don't understand why they charge New York City prices but the food was good. It would be nice if the burger buns would come with fries. 50€ for a buddha bowl, burger bun, one drink and some fries is a bit much imo

Tasty food, great atmosphere! A winner!!

My friends and I tried Benjis for the first time, despite me living in Amsterdam for a year. I had been eager to visit ever since putting it on my "To Do" list before moving. However, I'm disappointed to say that this experience won't bring me back. To sum it up: • We waited over an hour for a waitress who wasn’t even serving our table to realize they had lost our order. They wouldn’t have known if we hadn’t raised concerns. • When our salad and bread finally arrived, we were shocked at the small portions, almost feeling it was intentional. It was near closing time, so it seemed rushed. We left hungry. • Despite being promised "at most a 50% discount on our meals," we only received free coffee. Then, when paying, the bill had extra charges added without explanation. We were all fed up and just wanted to leave. Based on this experience, I can't recommend this Benjis location.

Staff very nice and can speak English well. The Granola Bowl is highly recommended.

Very good place for brunch with lot of place but a bit noisy. Food was good and hot drinks too. Just had an issue with the cake that never came so at the end we cancelled it.

The food is great, the staff is very friendly and the place looks super nice

One of the best places I’ve been to! Amazing service and food

The Food is super but the service needs to improve. They take forever to take your order even when there’s not too many people and they are not very friendly either

Embarrassing place. Service sucks. There is no information about reservations, the place is visible but they claim that everything is booked. Waste of time

Really good and unique tropical jungle atmosphere, where you can really escape the weather when you need it. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. Nice selection of Coffees from Lot61 and a really nice selection of unique Bali inspired dishes. Will definitely visit again!

Perfect for lazy Sunday! Chill vibe and amazing food. The best part is the variety option and mix and match recipes!

Amazing place to set a party ! Metro station is near. Action is near to buy last decorations items. The service is amazing, I could come one hour before to set decoration give the cake etc... Wonderful!

Was here for brunch. There's a nice atmosphere. If your there to work you have to order at the bar and the food will be brought to you very fast. The food itself is mediocre. I will be back for a warm drink and atmosphere but not for the food.

Delicious sandwich. A bit of a grim neighborhood where this nice tent is located, but that is precisely why it is a gem. Excellent prices, just +/- 14 eu for a sandwich. Nice atmosphere inside, tasty smoothies and nice bar, open kitchen. Also good for a small group.

Delicious food but a little expensive. They have an allergen menu but it is of no use because they clean their hands saying they don't have time to clean. A little dirty of him.

Friendly service! Simple but tasty dishes! Come back soon.

Good lunch spot in New West. Friendly service and good food. Must try the chicken katsu bun.

Great brunch spot in Amsterdam! A bit of a wait because it's a victim of its success, but it's worth it! The egg burger is sumptuous and the dishes are of very good quality! The service is efficient, pleasant and warm! In short, ideal for a Sunday brunch, and not excessively expensive either.

The brioche kimchi tuna melt is delicious. The avocado salmon teriyaki is less special but nice as well. The hot chocolate was disappointing, powdery and watery. Nice cappuccino.

I recently visited a brunch spot that impressed me with its avocado salmon toast and teriyaki chicken bun, both of which were exceptionally tasty. Their yogurt granola is also worth mentioning for its perfect balance of flavors. The ambiance is pleasant, and the service is warmly welcoming. The only downside is the pricing. The meals, while delicious, are a bit small for the cost. Despite this, the quality of the food and the atmosphere make it a place worth visiting for brunch enthusiasts.

Delicious food, but the sandwiches could have been dressed a little more generously, with salad on the side, for example. That's why I thought the price was a bit high for the food served. But again, the taste was fine.

Fantastic breakfast - bowls at their best - burata bread amazing (in a positive sense) - tasted extremely good - as was the service - the interior with a really great atmosphere - a great stay - recommended to everyone!!!

Super cozy cafe that makes you feel like you’re in Bali. Ordered a coconut cappuccino, chai latte and banana bread. Everything was delicious and the staff was friendly as well.

Really nice little brunch place in the neighborhood! There's a self service area where you can work (that's where I sat) because I wanted the couch. Overall, it's really vibrant and cozy and the same time. I didn't taste the service because it was self service. Of course they brought you the food but that was it. The food was good. Although I think it was a bit pricey? My little toast on the photo was almost 20 EUR.... Overall good vibes 👍👍 good find as I was passing by the area!

Nice, quiet place, sweet, un-Amsterdam service!

Fantastic staff and amazing food

Very tasty breakfast, nice service and a nice, cozy atmosphere. Finally a restaurant where you have a lot of space.

Very friendly, excellent fresh food, vegaterian and vegan options.

Broodje avocado & falafel mango humus waren echt lekker! Een vriendelijke meneer werkte vandaag, die ervoor zorgde dat we een goed plekje konden bemachtigen. Thanks!

Lekker eten en super bediening. Loved it !!!

Superleuk lunchplekje in de buurt, het eggstraordinary broodje is echt mijn favoriet. Al 4x gegeten en elke keer genoten! Vriendelijke mensen en gezellige sfeer met al die planten.

Ambiente war okay, essen nichts besonderes - hatten dort Frühstück. Service / Seating sehr unfreundlich.

Ottimo posto da brunch, soprattutto per salato

Hier weten ze hoe het hoort. Kwaliteit van het eten is zeer goed, net als de service en de sfeer!

Super leuke tent, lekker eten en snelle service. 1 minpuntje de tafeltjes staan best wel dicht op elkaar.

Very fun place ,and great food I highly recommend

Really cozy atmosphere with a nice space to eat and an additionnal space to work, and a possible outdoor space (if the weather allows it). Nice friendly staff as well. only small downside is a it a bit on the pricey side for not very large portions.

Delicious, great vibe, the service by the waitress is amazing.

Duurde lang voordat er iemand langskwam om een bestelling op te nemen. Eten was prima, wel iets aan de prijzige kant.

Voelt weer even alsof ik terug ben op Bali. Helemaal heerlie de peerlie. Havercappu en chai latte in je mik. Top loca!

Nice place, food nothing special to be honest and prices over the top. 100 euros for a breakfast for 4 people is just not right.

Really nice place to visit to chill! Love the vibe, food, and staffs☺️ I loved all the food we ordered but Burrata toast was the best for me! Also they have the fluffiest scrambled egg🤤

laptop friendly! they are toooo generous for the portion, everything came with the American size 🤣 love it

Went there in the midday on a weekday. The restaurant was 80%full. Ordered a chicken burger. It arrived quick and was really delicious. Highly recommended!

Good place for brunch with friends. Might come early to get a spot :)

Nice trendy restaurant. Food was great and service was excellent. Very quick using mobile ordering system.

I strongly recomend - Bali cheese steak

服务员很好，看我们坐外面冷，还让我们坐室内。 食物等的时间太长了，快40分钟。 薯条的top很好吃，但是薯条是速冻薯条，希望能改成新鲜的！！！

Heerlijk gegeten! Fijne sfeer en niet zo luidruchtig! Snelle en aardige bediening. Lunchen is hier wel prijzig, maar de porties zijn aardig groot! Het broodje met falafel mango hummus is een aanrader!
