Ram's Roti in Geuzenbuurt

Been here 4 times in past month and was never disappointed at all

We had a delicious nasi with chicken ketjap. The chicken was tender, well-seasoned, and the nasi was very tasty. Friendly service and definitely worth a repeat visit. Highly recommended!

Had a tasty roti roll with tempeh on a lovely terrace. Satisfied :)

Had the chicken roti here, it was ok. Not really worth the hype. I used to come here often. I was walking past here the other night, and the group of men sitting outside this establishment shouted “Ni Hao” at me. Bunch of racists. I will never support an establishment that promotes this type of behavior and treatment towards Asians. This needs to be said and shared. I responded and said “that’s racist,” the entire group of men (including the owners) just all laughed in my face. I know it was the owners because it was after hours, clearly close friends sitting around having some drinks after work. Know where your money is going, and know what it supports, and the kind of people it is supporting. It saddens me that this has been my neighborhood roti spot for 5 years now. However I will no longer support a business where racism is tolerated. You’ve lost a loyal customer.

The staff here need to take a customer service course. I asked by phone if it was halal, and the answer was yes. Once I arrived and inspected the menu, I saw pork listed on the menu. When I asked the employee about this and inquired how the rest was 'halal,' they joked: pork is halal too. A remark that really rubbed me the wrong way, and I left immediately. Never again for me!

Seeing the photos says it all! 🫣 I feel ripped off... especially with my Teloh😒 Waiting 5 minutes because it still needed to be fried.. fine, nice and fresh.. but this is really unacceptable..

Everything is fine in the restaurant itself, but the food is very small and not Surinamese; it looks more like Dutch, and the price is unbelievable too.

Good food, but way too small portions for the price, and it takes a loong time to get the food, both to go and eat there. Lots of other as good or better surinamese places in Amsterdam with bigger portions for the same price and faster service.

The people who work there do not do so with pleasure. The waiting time is not normal; they should do something about that and their service. Additionally, they are unreachable by phone.

Delicious food, well seasoned, could eat twice from the generous portion, lots of choice in the store.

Liars. Nicely saying on the phone that everything is halal, while they sell pork.

Every time I order, they forget something like sambal or an extra egg that was ordered.

Picked up food here yesterday; the lamb and chicken masala were very bland in taste. The sopropo sandwich with dried fish had hardly any dried fish in it. Telo with trie... It was heavy and excessively spicy; because of this, I'm having massive trouble with my intestines afterwards, and sorry to say it like this, but my entire anus is swollen because of it. At the very least, a warning should be given that there is so much pepper in it. Not everyone can tolerate spicy food, and for example, at the doks, it was indicated that it is spicy... This is very disappointing, and I am now in quite a bit of pain. This shouldn't be allowed. Update: We had filed a complaint by email and were allowed to pick up 2 free meals. We went by today, May 13th, and the gentleman was being very difficult about the fact that apparently someone had promised us 2 meals without his knowledge. The gentleman blamed it solely on the telo trie, while we had complaints about multiple dishes. He claimed the dishes were not proportionate to our compensation. Dear people, first of all, it was promised to us in writing; we cannot do anything about the fact that you, as a company, are not on the same page. Ultimately, we felt unheard. This was our last visit here.

On April 24th, I ordered for 9 people. Perhaps not a huge group, but everyone was incredibly satisfied! The portions were generous, and the food was fresh and full of flavor. The chicken was perfectly marinated and, thankfully, not too salty, which you often encounter these days. The bami and nasi were delicious, and the roti roll was large, well-filled, and, most importantly, not dry. You can really taste that the cooking is done with care. I am glad that there is finally a good Hindustani/Surinamese restaurant in the neighborhood. Highly recommended; I will definitely be ordering here more often!

Fantastic Surinamese eatery. If you are looking for authentic Surinamese food, look no further. This is the place to be for the best roti and the best sopropo with salted meat. A truly superb restaurant and the best in the Netherlands when it comes to Surinamese food☺️🤤

Delicious Surinamese food. The roti and snacks are especially delicious!

If you want delicious exoticism, come here! Surinamese cuisine, a combination of an incredible variety of flavors. Very fast and tasty!!! The establishment works actively, mostly for delivery, which indicates its great popularity among locals.

The best I ever had. We had a super delicious meal (we had vegetarian roti and chicken roti) and enjoyed the homemade drinks. The people behind the counter were very friendly and relaxed. We had to wait a bit because it was busy, but the atmosphere was good so it wasn't a problem, and totally worth it.

Dear people, please don't complain because Rams Roti is the best in all of the Netherlands! Portions are a bit smaller, but that's because they also get ripped off by you-know-who, the biggest thief🥇🏆

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ram's Roti and it was truly an outstanding experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the wonderful atmosphere of the place; the environment is incredibly welcoming, clean, and has a great vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy the moment. The service was equally impressive, as the staff was attentive, professional, and went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Of course, the highlight was the food, which was simply spectacular. Every dish was packed with authentic flavors and perfectly balanced spices, showing a clear commitment to quality ingredients and traditional preparation. The roti itself was fresh and delicious, easily some of the best I have ever had. It is rare to find a restaurant that hits the mark so consistently across the board, but Ram's Roti manages to deliver excellence in every detail. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a high-quality meal with top-tier service, and I will definitely be returning soon.

A nice and warm place, the food is really good and the staff is very kind. We were lucky asf and met an italian waitress EXTREMELY gentle who gave us various advices for our Staying in Amsterdam. :)))

Today we picked up a Chicken Fillet Special Roti, Chicken Liver Roti, and Bara's here. The Bara's were delicious and the Roti is truly the best Roti we have ever eaten! If we are in the area again, we will definitely get more! Highly recommended!

Had a delicious meal! Best roti!

Ordered here yesterday. Less than two hours later, everything came back out, front and back. Food poisoning symptoms!!

Food is really good and really Nice people. You need to eat Here !!

not very surinamese, and lack seasonings

Good food and delicious sambal. They sometimes forget to add the sambal after you've paid for it, and they're also closed at 4 PM. They do resolve this very well when you let them know!

The collection was noticeably slow; the lady seemed to have little life or enthusiasm.

Yesterday, we got a special chicken roti for the whole family and friends. What a treat! Exceptionally delicious. Wonderfully spicy. The chicken fell off the bone, so tender, the potatoes delicious, and the long beans crispy. A real treat. The people there were so friendly—highly recommended, and we'd definitely make a detour for it next time.

Super nice, generous, and welcoming! And delicious!

Great Surinamese food. Friendly staff. As a local, I always love picking up a cod sandwich for lunch and a special lamb roti for dinner. Highly recommended!

I had the veggie roti with tempeh, tofu, and pumpkin. It was sooooo delicious, and so was the telo.

Very good food for a nice price

To the person below Luke , who says everything is bland , definitely hasn’t tried the sambal chicken… I am an Indian Bengali women , we like things spicy and hot … this was intense for me. Good intense

Roti chicken has no flavor. It might be fine by Dutch standards, but for Surinamese people, this is seriously subpar. The gravy is watery and barely flavorful. Eating in isn't pleasant or even possible because of the constant influx of takeout customers, who occupy these three tables while they wait.

A major disappointment. The place looks okay inside. It's clean, but not particularly atmospheric. There are two tables where you can sit and eat. The service was just okay. I ordered two cod sandwiches, but they didn't arrive. It was incredibly dry... it tasted like it was from the previous day and probably microwaved too long. VERY dry, in other words... and not enough acidity, in my opinion... I wouldn't go back.

Tried Nasi Chicken at Rams Roti for the first time, and it was the best I've ever had! The chicken wasn't dry. The rice wasn't dry. Every combination was fantastic!

Surinam Service Line only employs chefs, but your Doksa is deadly delicious!!

Almost always "forget" extra egg

It's been there for a long time, definitely worth picking up and eating at home!

Traditional food. Go for the madame Janette sauce if you dare

Delicious roti and pom rolls Smooth, rich, and fresh

1 of the best Surinam restaurants in Amsterdam.

Excellent food; okay service (long wait on Friday night); meh atmosphere (there's no atmosphere in this takeout place, so pick it up and eat elsewhere).

The food was terrible. Dry rice without salt. The shrimp sandwich was tasteless and utterly bland. And when I asked if it tasted good, I clearly stated that it wasn't good, and they didn't offer me a new one. Never again.

Been coming here since I was a little kid, great roti

When i worked in Amsterdam we use to get our lunch here. Now 16 years later i still come here weekly. Super.

First time trying Surinamese food, loved it.

Tasty but portions run a bit small. If you don’t need much, it’s 5/5.

Used to come here a lot but they have really gone downhill… unfortunately… Chicken was incredibly tough from both containers: chicken sambal and chicken curry both incredibly dry. Chicken curry was incredibly tasteless. Prices have also gone up a lot, really expensive. 17.50 for a container with little chicken and vegetables. Bami was tasty though.

Their lamb Roti changed my life.

My favorite spot for a Roti in Amsterdam Good portion, fair price, good quality

Simple, tasty and quick to prepare! As it should be

In my opinion, 1 lady serving is very little. With so much clientele, 2 employees can easily serve the customers.

Ordered rice curry shrimp and goegerie (chickpeas) and had it delivered. Added papaya in pickle myself. Delicious food, everything tasted good, large portion. Really great ❤️

It smells really nice in here, but most of the things I've tried are very bland. There is a lack of spices to every dish I've tried (roti kip/lam, saoto soup, nasi kip). The rotis themselves were fine. The portions are also not very good. When you get rice you get too much rice compared to meat/veg, and I like to get a lot of rice with my food. The vegetables were also very bland and boring. Adding more spices and balancing portions can make this a very good place I think, but for now it's just not there yet (or anymore).

I love this place. The food is great, best Suri take outs I ever had.

Best roti in town! I have been coming for years and now I come all the way from Indische buurt to West because it is just FINGERLICKING GOOD

The food is good! Very pleasant place to order and take away. Very busy at times, so make sure you get there before you're hungry. Staff is very friendly

Very tasty food, friendly staff and fast service

Delicious roti roll, plantain and chicken curry. It was worth eating during our trip to Amsterdam. Will definitely come back again!

Ate a pom sandwich today. I don't want to sit in the front row for a dime, but the sandwich was very poorly filled. It only had a tiny bit of scraped together filling. The bun itself was tough. If I had known that the pom was (almost) gone, I would have chosen something else.

I ordered two saotos, there were literally only 4/5 pieces of chicken in them and the taste was very mediocre. Shame

Honestly, most tasteless chicken curry chicken fillet in my life.

Just got chicken satay and small veggie roti roll (eggplant)! Super tasty! Service was good. Asked for extra spicy. She warned me but I'm glad I said yes because it was exactly the spicy I like. Highly recommended!

Such a shame that we have to go to Amsterdam for this delicious food 😋 I hope they come our way one day, then we'll get them every week

Remains our favorite in Amsterdam. We haven't lived in Amsterdam for a few years now, but we come back every now and then to get food here.

For the third time they have forgotten to make my food while I ordered at the counter. While the food is usually nice, now I just got something out of the microwave to make ho for lost time. Place would be way better if they had better trained people. The lady at the counter had no knowledge of the pin machine and was pretty slow. I suspect it had gone wrong there. Nonetheless, food is normally nice and it doesn’t always go wrong.

Had a small roti roll and a bara here on Saturday afternoon. The roti roll was great and the roti was very soft and there was good balance. Anyway. The reason I am posting the review is the bara. I've tapped a lot of baras in my life. And there is always something wrong. Too little tayer leaf, no air, bad chutney. But with Aries, none of this. Holy shit. This was better than my mother's bara, for completeness added a photo showing how fluffy this beautiful bun was, the chutney was great too. 10/10.

I like all the Rotis I ordered here. Lots of variation in rotation. What also really appeals to me is how well it is packaged and therefore it never becomes a mess before and after eating. It's also nice that they keep the long beans and potatoes dry if you ask. I am also positively surprised that the neighborhood embraces Rams Roti so much because their cooking smell can be smelled far and wide. See you soon! 10/10/2024 I don't know about Rams Roti anymore. A very long wait for a potato long beans puree with a chicken in a weak sauce. Roti itself was good. Now I'm going to go further afield to see what they make of it.

I've said it before. Best roti in the Netherlands.

Nothing special about this restaurant, hyped.

Taste is very good, plenty of choice, also vegetarian top

The owner is very kind to tourists, very eager to explain his food. Really good experience. The infamous yellow sauce is really tasty in small quantities.

A few days ago I bought Roti chicken leg for 3 people. 1: Containers are small and therefore not enough food for €10, which is just stingy. 2: Food had too much garlic in it that I could just burp garlic the next day. 3: The worst part is that all 3 of us had diarrhea from the food!!! In the beginning this was a top store, after having raised money, most of them deteriorated in terms of quality and taste. From now on you can either make it yourself or take it to Aunt Gieta. Gieta is €1 more expensive but you can eat it for 2 days and get full taste.

A really ridiculous situation, the delivery person came by so really not, then called the owner and said simply, contact Thuisbezorgd, no apologies at all for the inconvenience, unreliable roti shop and of course the last time I order here.

The second and last time I got something here. Last time roti chicken. Small container, very small amount of long beans on the potatoes in one side of the container, the chicken on the other side. Chicken was dry. Everything tastes the same. Now 3 moksi meti sandwiches, pom sandwich and long bean sandwich with shrimp. The rolls were not baked properly, we were just eating dough. Moksi meti, 2 small pieces of meat and a wedge on the bun. Long beans sandwich with shrimps... Sandwich completely stuffed with long beans, 8 small shrimps. The pom sandwich was actually tasty, but with such a soggy sandwich it was a weak bite. It is incomprehensible that this case still seems to be going so well. Really just can't eat for too much money. Never come here again.

The food here is so good but beware the spicy yellow chilli sauce they give you, it is HOT 🔥 (not European spicy, but genuinely really spicy)

Best Surinamese food! Generous servings, incredible taste especially for vegetarians! The bachalou fish and the shrimp with beans as well as the lamb were excellent. Recommend the zucchini, chickpeas, eggplant and pumpkin veggie selection. You can also get tap water. Decent seating option with two tables inside and 4 outside, but more of a takeaway place.

No star. Roti from rams roti gives you water diarrhea!!!!

I often & only order chicken roti here, it’s always very good but the amount of potatoes is very very little.. 3 times more chicken than potatoes

Authentic and delicious roti. I am not a vegetarian but i often order the roti with vegetables because its just that good!

delicious roti. Really authentic. Just like my mother makes it

You can get a delicious meal here for a good price.

Solid place, with decent roti for reasonable prices and somewhat nonchalant staff. Very busy and popular for takeaway, delivery and dine-in.

Lousy service, if you order a roti chicken fillet, you don't get any roti with it. Then the operator says yes, we can't do anything about it :) and she has no solution. You also get Sauto without ketjap and that is your own business :) hahahaha laughable, last time I order here. It also happened that I ordered here and it never arrived, they couldn't do anything about it, but oh well. Should have stopped ordering here then.

Great food and relaxed atmosphere ♥️

Delicious Surinamese food highly recommended!

Came all the way here and it's closed not updated online.

fraudulent case ?? Ordered via Uber eat, it was dry, dirty microwave food...... Chicken was tough and impossible to get through. Receipt was printed on a Blokker roll....... Don't get anything here, it's not worth your money

Big portions and really delicious roti rolls. My favorite so far in Amsterdam!

Rams roti is the best roti in the world! Possibly the best food in the world. Especially the vegetarian. For more than 20 years, this has been our first stop every time we come to Amsterdam. It's hard to put into words just how much our family loves this food. Rams Roti would be my death row meal.

Best roti in town, I take a detour to get me some!

What a good, tasty and affordable food! Highly recommended

Roti with a soggy and dry pancake. Food was too salty. Used too much ole. A major disappointment. The only positive is the friendly staff. Too bad, now I have to look for a good roti place that can serve tasty roti. I'll never go here again.

The roti chicken fillet is fantastically tasty. Also a large portion. Really delicious!!!

Brown bean soup was not tasty, there was not even 1 piece of meat in it, it was watery, not worth repeating Roti can no longer be better as the business was taken over by the children of the previous owner and you can taste it and it is no longer that tasty unfortunately

Translation to English: For the best roti, you should go to Rams. It is really flavorful, and we have been ordering here for years. However, we have noticed that the content of the dishes can vary. It depends on who is in the kitchen. Sometimes, the proportions are just not right. One time you get enough chicken, and another time you get too little. And then the potatoes are just not cooked enough. We find this a bit of an issue because how simple is it to cook potatoes? In general, the roti chicken always tastes great. I'm really a fan of it. My husband eats the roti chicken breast. Sometimes we also order a small dish of eggplant on the side because they are quite sparing with the vegetables. In terms of ambiance, it’s not a nice restaurant for dining in. That’s why we never stay. I’d rather go somewhere else that has a pleasant atmosphere.

My favourite Roti restaurant in Amsterdam

5 stars is not enough for this restaurant, more stars need to be added
