If it were just about the food, I would have given 5 stars. However, the women in the restaurant were so unwelcoming, cold, and condescending that I can only give a barely passing grade. The grumpiness was palpable. It is a real shame, because it has much more potential. Put on a smile, ladies, and offer your guests a warm welcome; it would make everyone's day better.

If you had read carefully, you would have seen that I never complained about your food. My criticism was about your arrogance, the standard unnecessary waiting times, and the ever-smaller portions. “Worth repeating” works both ways, Ricardo. Not just for compliments, but for criticism as well. The standard delay for takeout is by now just as predictable as the sunrise. The portions are getting smaller and smaller, while the cheap cabbage used as filler takes up more and more space. And these days, you even have to pay extra for potatoes with pepper. And do you remember this classic, Ricardo? “Do you like my food? Then you have to pay for it, right!” Spoken with that eternally self-satisfied grin, as if Shaft had just put one of his ladies in her place. Just because you had your picture taken with the Queen doesn't mean you have to dismiss, judge, and justify every criticism point by point like a sissy. *That* is exactly the arrogance I am talking about. An entrepreneur with self-reflection reads criticism, extracts what is useful, and improves from it. Not Ricardo. He immediately goes on the defensive and claims that no one is complaining. Where do you actually read your reviews? On the Disney site? Almost everyone complains about exactly the same thing: your attitude, your waiting times, and the way you treat customers. You won't hear me complain about your cooking skills. You cook like a Michelin-starred chef and you charge star prices for it too. Fine. I don't expect a red carpet in return. Just a little decency, respect, and understanding. And then there is your daughter… With her eternal choeries, scare eyes, and rude remarks, something really should be done about that too. The biggest delays actually don't occur in the kitchen, but due to your staff's endless conversations with each other, with acquaintances, and especially on the phone. As a result, waiting times escalate from a normal five minutes to SLM delays, after which you end up waiting even longer than for an elevator in a three-story apartment building. And just try calling your place… It feels like you’re trying to reach Bravoe. And when someone finally picks up, you get a witty remark thrown in for free. You’ve spoken to me before, my man. I don’t make up stories like you do with your responses to reviews. I’ve been eating at your place from your very first shack to the place as it is now. The only difference is that you’ve changed. I haven’t. That’s why I thought it was time to say something about it. With all my senses, I have not only tasted your food but also experienced your personality. And excuses about your square footage or how busy your staff is have become just as predictable as the rest of the Ricardo repertoire. Hate? On the contrary. I have nothing but appreciation for your food. But what do I get in return? A wall of defense, destructive criticism, and the desperate grasping at every detail just to prove you’re right. That’s where the mistake lies, and it is entirely on your part. And last but not least: of course, I could have expected you to advise me to just go eat somewhere else. That is easier than tempering your arrogance and self-importance a little. Do not mistake a lack of better options and a monopoly position for satisfied customers or the absence of complaints. Even Rome fell at some point.

Ricardo… what possesses you, my man? You have a special talent. Not just for making people wait for their order, but especially for making them feel afterwards that *they* are the ones being impatient. By now, I know those standard excuses better than the menu. And then that staff behind the counter… as friendly as a bitter raw bitter melon! If sourness were an Olympic sport, you would be standing there with gold around your necks every year. And those portions… my man, are you on a diet or have the plates just gotten bigger? You’ve managed to make the garnish take up more space than the meal itself. That is almost a magic trick. But the best part is still you! Always ready with a witty one-liner as if that solves everything. I’ll give you credit: you have more political flair than many a Member of Parliament. You don't just belong behind a stove; you would effortlessly win a debate in which people are convinced that eating less is actually eating more. As we say: “No aksi mi fu lobi a tori, aksi mi fu lobi a nyan.” Leave the small talk aside; ultimately, it is about what is on the plate. Ricardo, my man, customers come for good food and a warm welcome. Not for a masterclass in waiting, waving people away, and talking them out of it. Hopefully, you are reading this with the same smile with which you deliver your one-liners. But I would much rather see that smile reflected later in the quality, the portions, and the service.

You have a problem. Not with one thing, but with three things at once. Waiting. Your team does this as standard practice. We always get apologies for it. Customers come for food, not to practice patience. Portions. They are small. Sometimes very small. The plate looks bigger than what is on it. That isn't presentation, that's a trick. People see that immediately. Atmosphere. Your staff doesn't look happy. Not warm, not welcoming, not "hey, nice to see you." Just distant. That makes everything worse. And then the one-liners. You are good at talking. Really good. But small talk doesn't fill stomachs and doesn't make long wait times any better. This is what you need to do: • Ensure orders are ready sooner. • Make the portions bigger. Really bigger. • Tell your team that they need to see people, not just serve. Customers come back if they have had a good meal and felt welcome. Not because they were well distracted.

I was looking forward to the heri heri. It was served in a bath of oil. I mentioned it to the saleswoman, but she said that most people liked a lot of oil and walked on. By dabbing it all off with napkins, I managed to get it off with difficulty. The waitress who came to clear my plate immediately exclaimed, "Ugh, so much oil!" Luckily, someone who knows what they're talking about. Ricardo, I'm going to eat heri heri somewhere else from now on.

We had ordered from Ricardo’s around 5:30 PM, which was supposed to arrive at 6:00 PM. By then, it was already 7:00 PM and still no food. We tried calling Ricardo’s, but they only answered after the fourth attempt to ask if we could pick it up because there was supposedly an issue with the delivery. When I arrived there, I was greeted by an arrogant, disrespectful young woman. While I was in the middle of a conversation with her, she just walked away twice. The first time because she had to make a private call, and the second time because her boyfriend was standing at the door. She was just standing there nonchalantly having a chat while we had already waited an hour and a half for our food. Definitely not recommended

Unfortunately disappointing! Agreed time to pick up food. Then had to wait another 45 minutes and be told that half of my order was sold out and therefore couldn't proceed. I hope you do something about that soon. And prepare more so that customers aren't disappointed. Realize that you are needed in Almere and now almost everything is sold out again every time after 4:30 PM really isn't acceptable! Then the container of food I did receive was only half filled!!

Yesterday I bought jarpesi moksi alesi. My moksi alesi was super tasty. However, I had to wait a long time for my portion of satay, which still needed to be grilled. The price of the satay is very good; however, the meat lacked flavor. My tip: marinate the meat well in advance, that adds more flavor. It would be perfect on the BBQ. Just sprinkling peanut sauce over unmarinated satay doesn't work. That is why I only gave 3 stars. Marjon

If you just want to grab some tasty bami or nasi, you've come to the right place. Today I picked up bami with roasted meat, bami with satay, and nasi with stewed meat. The prices, which ranged from 12.50 to 14.50, are fine as far as I'm concerned. Especially when you open the containers at home and start eating with your family... feast! The portions were generous: two containers of bami, a container of nasi, and three containers of meat. Elsewhere, for example, you get bami and meat together in one container, which naturally results in less quantity. Back to the meals themselves: well-seasoned, with gravy on the side, and of course small bowls of yellow chili peppers; in short, a party for your taste buds. By the way, ignore the somewhat surly service. Apparently, this is just part of Surinamese restaurants, but it doesn't make the food any less delicious!

Ordered for the first time. Placed order online at 3:56 PM. Delivery was supposed to be 5:00 PM. Called at 5:25 PM to ask where they were. No apology, only a few questions later, saying they were arriving now. It then took another 25 minutes, even though we live on the other side of Oosterpark. The food itself was delicious, especially the chicken and satay. I think the noodles could have a bit more bite. Perhaps if you eat in the restaurant or pick it up yourself, you'll enjoy it a bit more.

You can taste that it's truly authentic Surinamese food, as if it were made at home. Even after a day, the food still tastes so good, especially the moksi alsie. Highly recommended. Ricardo's has become a regular spot for me when I'm craving delicious and familiar Surinamese food.

On Saturday, December 20th, I went to buy food at Ricardo in Amsterdam. I ordered food (€30.50) and paid through their payment machine. This machine is right by the cash register. I paid with €50, and my change was returned to me through the machine. It was a bit messy, so the woman at the register wasn't exactly friendly. I paid with €50 and got €14.50 back instead of €19.50. I stood there, with that money in my hand, but I couldn't quite figure out what was going wrong. But I was still at the payment machine. €10 came out, and €4 and 50 cents. At that moment, I couldn't realize I'd been short €5 from the machine. I literally stood there for two minutes. But because of the poor reception, I couldn't quite grasp that I'd been short €5. There were two people sitting on a bench, a man and a woman. My daughter and I didn't even sit inside for two minutes because we had to wait for our food. The woman behind the counter asked me, "Are you going to take it with you?" I said yes, but I wanted to sit down for a moment. When she said that, we immediately got up and went back to the hallway. The man and woman had already left. We then sat on the bench. I then ordered another porridge and a gingerbread. I didn't find the woman particularly friendly. Then our food arrived, and I was so confused by the reception I received that I couldn't even remember what I'd ordered. I asked the woman, "What did I order again?" Her answer wasn't friendly. Because of all this, I couldn't even wrap my head around the fact that I'd been short 5 euros. It was very messy and gave me a strange feeling in that store. Only when I was walking to my car and driving away did I realize I'd been short 5 euros. I immediately called the store. They said they'd look into it. I didn't hear anything. On Sunday, December 21st, I explained my problem again. I haven't heard anything yet. I think this is a shame. It's only 5 euros, but I'm upset that the payment terminal isn't giving me all my money back. Maybe they should check that the terminal doesn't accept 5-euro notes. And you don't get a receipt. I can tell you, there was a strange atmosphere in that store. The woman at the cash register isn't friendly. I'd like to see it looked into. I also won't recommend this Ricardo's to anyone. They don't take your case seriously. You could be robbed by that payment terminal. They could check it out, but they don't. Very customer-friendly, and it's freely searchable. This is my story. No one contacted me. The women were supposed to report it. Nothing happened. It's a shame, because I had to do it this way. Ricardo's on Javastraat in Amsterdam.

I don't know who's in the kitchen at Ricardo's....I ordered Chinese tayer soup today and I got soup with not a single Chinese tayer, but six pieces of cassava...it tasted like cassava soup, and when I called about it, the chef found my complaint unfounded because I had complained about his ochre soup two days ago. Here goes...His ochre soup, oh my god, had half a wing, two pieces of beef, a small antroewa, and was watery—ridiculous beyond words. I was compensated after my complaint...it certainly wasn't Surinamese ochre soup, and that absolutely must be said...IF YOU MAKE MISTAKES, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE CALLED OUT, ESPECIALLY IF PEOPLE PAY FOR IT.

⭐☆☆☆☆ Ricardo's is a bit like that one friend who always says "I'll be there in 5 minutes" – and then only shows up after an hour. The food can be delicious… if it ever makes it to your table or house on time. The ladies behind the counter and the phone? Let's just say they've probably traded customer service training for a course in "making tjoerie and staring indifferently 101." Service-oriented? Only towards their own paycheck. The attitude "I don't really care, as long as I get paid" isn't a byproduct here, but a company philosophy. And let's be honest: that kind of behavior doesn't come out of the blue; it trickles down from the top. The management and culture breathe the same: "We'll see, or we won't, it doesn't matter." So if you're looking for food and timing is important: go to New Draver. There are no little children behind the counter, and at least they exude a certain respect. Ricardo's: for those who have patience, want to practice zen, and are in no hurry. For the rest... good luck. Peace ✌️

Ricardo's has been my favorite place for authentic Surinamese food for years. Because I was often disappointed by sold-out dishes when picking up, I recently decided to mainly order in. Unfortunately, the delivery service leaves much to be desired. Over the past five (!) orders, something has always gone wrong: delivery times of more than two hours despite planning a delivery period well in advance, incorrect or incomplete orders and poor accessibility in case of problems. Today again: two portions were completely missing. When I called, I was on hold for fifteen minutes without being helped. Fortunately, I was able to get a refund for the missing portions through Uber Eats, but placing a new order was no longer an option because everything was now sold out. It is a real shame that the logistics at Ricardo's are not in order. The fact that they choose to use their own delivery drivers instead of Uber delivery drivers clearly works to their disadvantage. I am willing to pay more to receive a complete, correct order on time and I think many others are with me. Nevertheless, Ricardo's remains highly recommended for food. My tip: pick up (early!) or eat on site, the risk of having it delivered is absolutely not worth the disappointment

Ordered and picked up two Nazis today. A portion of chicken was completely burned off and unedible. Really scandalous.

Tried to charge me 2 different (higher) prices than what was listed on their menu, finally gave me the right price after I pointed it out the 3rd time — rip off…a shame because the food was not bad

Well we just ordered food and for the 2nd time we are already disappointed. Salmon moxi alesi was too salty and that rice was brown which is very strange. My colleague's garter was too mushy and brown. And that noodles had no vegetables. Too bad about this. Ricardo's eatery you have seriously deteriorated!!!

Got potato steak on Sunday. Opened the container of baked potatoes in the car to eat 1 piece. To my surprise, I see that the potatoes (which I just received a minute ago) look limp and dark brown. Not what I'm used to. I then returned my meal. The lady at the counter called someone from the kitchen, who gave me the bag with the meal and said that the potatoes were burnt and did not look good. With a surprised expression, he took the bag without worrying about losing a customer. I am still from the generation that got the potato steak at Wan Ati in Gerad Doustraat when Ricardo himself was in the kitchen. Then the potato steak was really TOP!!! But now you have to be lucky to get a quality meal. It seems as if the current generation of staff thinks that you should be happy that you get food and not complain.

I am writing to express my deep disappointment and dissatisfaction with my recent experience at Ricardo's takeaway center. I placed an order at your location, and unfortunately my experience was far from satisfactory. After waiting for my order for a period of over 20 minutes, I politely asked about the status of my food. Instead of an appropriate response or apology, I was met with rude comments from your staff, suggesting that I should not have ordered if I was in a hurry. This lack of customer service is completely unacceptable and shows a lack of respect for the customer. What was even more disturbing was the fact that some of your employees resorted to harsh and even physical behavior when I expressed my disappointment. This type of behavior is completely inappropriate in a professional environment and goes against all standards of customer service and decent behavior. Aside from the poor service, the quality of the food I ultimately received was well below par. It was not only disappointing, but also distasteful. As a loyal customer of your establishment, I expected much better service. I am disappointed and shocked by my experience and hope that you will take this matter seriously and take appropriate action to ensure that incidents like this do not happen again.

As a pregnant woman I have quite a few cravings and so last week I suddenly decided on Surinamese food from Amsterdam. I asked my cousin who lives in Amsterdam where I should be and so I could send my husband to Ricardo's for a beef rice with tayer leaf and corn porridge (I had not eaten the latter for at least 20 years). It already smelled like home food and that's exactly how it tasted! Today I sent my husband to Amsterdam again for BB with R and sauerkraut with salt meat and chicken. Once again it was not normal spang, including the piccalilly sambal! Even to eat the rice dry... Thank you Ricardo that since this discovery I can finally taste the taste of my demented grandmother's food again! I missed it ❤️

Ricardo's offers not just a meal, but a culinary journey through the flavors and traditions of Suriname. Every dish is steeped in authenticity and love, and every bite brings you closer to the soul of this beautiful country. Whether you are an avid lover of Surinamese cuisine or a newcomer looking for an unforgettable culinary experience, Ricardo's will not disappoint.

At Ricardo's it already smelled like good food when I walked in. I ordered a tjau_min chicken with choi sam and across the street at Zondag (the lunch variant from the same owner) I ordered 2 fried cod sandwiches, one with sweet and sour shrimps and a chicken curry sandwich. The atmosphere was chill and the people in the restaurant were clearly enjoying their food. The leather sofas looked inviting and through the open kitchen you could clearly see that it was neat and clean. I saw the people everyone in the kitchen wearing hair nets. Once I got home I tasted the tjau-min... it was delicious and fresh with crispy choi-sam (a kind of pak-choi) through it. The chicken was nice and tender from the oven and had a beautiful color and a delicious sauce (not cornstarch 5 spices sauce but a real sauce from the chicken marinade itself). The bakkeljauw sandwiches had just the right taste, not too dry fish but also not too much oil or anything, the sandwich sweet and sour shrimps also had a nice taste, fresh shrimps and delicious sambal... in short, tasty food that I happily pay for. I will definitely come back to try something delicious again.

One of the most famous S'name (30 years) kitchens in Amsterdam, also in the whole of the Netherlands, among S'namers, N'landers and other fellow countrymen. The kitchen and service are perfect, 10 points.

You won't find worse Surinamese food in Amsterdam. Health inspectorate may visit here. Service also dramatic, everything is too much to ask, very rude and the food is of poor quality

I notice that quality has deteriorated considerably, and unfortunately they have changed the concept of the restaurant to take-away, so the old atmosphere is no longer there.

One of my favorite Suriname restaurants! The roasted or braised chicken is amazing. Also their specials such as bbq chicken. Sometimes slow but always on point.

Dit was een van mijn favoriete Surinaamse restaurants, echter moet ik nu helaas concluderen dat de kwaliteit en service ondermaats is voor de prijs die je er betaalt. Dat de mensen in de keuken geen haar netjes dragen viel mij ook op en dit vind ik niet hygiënisch. De dame achter de balie met een opzichte gouden ketting om vind ik sloom en onbeschoft en komt ook niet representatief over voor een zaak met “voorheen” een goede naam!

So I went to eat at this place and was asked if I was gonna take takeaway or eat in but I wasn't informed that when eating in, the woman who works there will be watching a movie as loud as possible and a thriller with screams on top of it. It is very disrespectful towards customers but I guess its the culture. I'll never go again because of this. The chicken was mid , so I suggest everyone to go to roopram roti next by which is objectively better.

Worst food ever: the chicken in the satay was still raw, the noodles were bad, and the spring rolls were limp, cold, and greasy. I threw away my portion; unfortunately, my daughter had already eaten some of it. Hopefully, she doesn't get food poisoning (in which case, I will of course report it to the NVWA). Stay away from here!
