Ricardo's Soul Food in De Kolenkit

I have never seen such discrimination ... I went in and I talked turkish to the bartender and then when she knew I am Syrian she stopped immediately talking with me and served me the worst Kumpir -after more than 30 mins of waiting while i was 1st and the only in the row- I have ever eaten.... it has no cheese the chicken and the saus were not fresh. I regret every penny i spend their. I DO NOT RECOMMEND it for what so ever.

We ordered some mix here for €24, but man man man...it was so sad... It started as soon as I entered, I really have no idea what was said because the music, or well... noise, was so loud... I could immediately pass for a new eardrum... A table that was too dirty to look at and almost collapsed from sadness. Anyway, I was very curious about the meat and was hungry. Finally I was able to pick up my food, opened the bowl, and felt like crying. Rice was dry, chicken had to be searched for but was still good to eat, a smear of sauce over the spare ribs that could not be removed looked like rubber, and that lamb chop was as thick as my debit card. And to top it all off, a soggy piece of baguette that didn't even look like it was baked. The sauce was fine, spicy and sweet. But at €24 it is overpriced for such a small cup of food and not worth it. Hopefully they learn from all those bad reviews, but I have a hard time reading it all.

It is a narrow restaurant. The staff was very nice upon entering. The prices are a bit on the expensive side for what you get. I didn't think the service was good when you come in you are helped right away, but then it took an hour before we got our food, people came in after us. Large groups and couples and they all got their food before us. After we indicated where our food was, it was indicated that it was almost ready but it would take another fifteen minutes. They probably forgot about us and helped all those other people first. Was it worth waiting an hour at all and I thought the prices of the drinks and starter were a bit on the high side and you also pay separately for the sauce. It's not wrong. It doesn't fill your belly. The salad was dry, no sauce at all nothing was a bit bland. I wouldn't go here and find another place where you get more quality and fill your belly for the same or less money.

+ friendly service + Excellent coffee is served + tasty toasted sandwiches + A beautiful spot with a nice view of the Sloterplas all seasons of the year

What a competition tent. Good atmosphere!
