SOIL Vegan Café - EAST in Indische Buurt West

Good food but you have to pay for water from the tap! Ridiculous

Wow! Really fantastic vegan food! Not junk food. Great kimchi , friendly staff and nice alcohol free ipa.

great service!! the food was excellent as well but really expensive. we had the ribs, the tacos, the ramen, the dragon noodles and the cheese burger and loved them all

Service was 10/10. the weiter made everyone in the restaurant feel comfortable and welcome. Super attentive, quick Service with a smile and a personal note! Great guy. The food was okay. A bit bland and quite expensive for what we got. It was nonetheless good comfort food but price/ quality was a bit off. Special shoutout however to the vegan cod fish balls. They were very nice! As a main we had the miso soup and the “pulled pork” burger. Again, not bad but have had more flavorful vegan cuisine. The atmosphere was a bit cold and reminded me more of a snack bar than a restaurant (which again - given the prices was a bit disappointing.) we ended up paying 45 euros excluding and drinks.

A true gem for vegans and vegetarians! I tried the Dragon Noodles, and they were fantastic—bursting with tangy and sweet flavors. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great spot for a satisfying plant-based meal.

Food was crazy good and service was excellent!!! Will repeat

I highly recommend the Ben Ben noodles and the apple pie! The burgers and other noodle dishes are not very special.

Atmósfera deteriorada. Comida bien. Restaurante simplemente no limpio. La cocina tampoco lo parecía. Los vasos estaban sucios. Comida bien, pero no fantástica. Servicio amable y sonriente y bien intencionado.

We went here based on the good reviews and were quite disappointed. The food (bitterballen, chicken burgers and fried noodles) tasted average at best and wasn't a highlight at all. The prices are far too high for that. The fried noodles would have been half priced at a Chinese restaurant and would probably have been tastier. Unassuming selection of non-alcoholic drinks. The service was very nice, the shop was completely empty on an early Saturday evening. In the end the two of us paid €65. It wasn't worth it at all.

Heerlijk eten en creatief met vegan food, je mist het vlees niet. Leuk restaurant met vriendelijke bediening. Zeker een aanrader.

Great staffs and great food! Loved the interaction with their staffs. The joyful energy adds more flavour to the food

I went to the restaurant tonight with my dad and even him (who’s not vegan) really enjoyed the food. We ordered the ribs twice because they’re amazing and also the bitterballen and the dragon noodles. Btw, the waiter with the tattoos is super friendly and nice!! Really recommend it 🥰

Cosy, tasty & friendly service!

Super tasty food, super lovely staff! Would definitely go back!

Comida súper sabrosa y un montón de cosas diferentes para elegir. Personal super encantador también! Sin duda volvería! Sin duda recomendaría!

The food was amazing. Very nice staff and cute place.

Great restaurant with plenty to choose from, we shared our starters and burgers so we could sample more of the menu. It was all really tasty but the ribs were amazing!

The food is amazing here, highly recommend this place!!

Best ribs I've ever eaten. The tacos were so yum!! The miso salad was beautiful. Not-yet vegan boyfriend was so impressed with the cheese burger. Great beer choices. Super friendly. Must visit!

Their cheesecake is a must try!!

Great experience at Soil vegan café. Nice neighbourhood, very friendly staff (lovely chap from Sénégal served us) and great food. Quality and price. I will definitively come back.

Excellent vegan food. We especially liked the ribs and bitterballen beforehand and the snickers and cheesy cake afterwards. Very nice music in the background, not too loud, not too soft. Nice, enthusiastic service, but we had to wait a little too long halfway through for our next dish.

Food was excellent, atmosphere was great they were playing bangers, but mainly the staff were so lovely, the guy serving us made the experience 10x better being super attentive and seemed like a great guy

Although we were really excited to try this restaurant, it was a mediocre experience. The decor is nice and fresh. The food was okay, the service unfortunately disappointing. The tacos were tasty, but a bit flat, and the dragon noodles were surprising, with a good balance between spicy and fresh. The Bali Beach salad was drowning in the peanut sauce, which unfortunately made it tasteless and somewhat soggy despite the many ingredients. The service was not good. Upon entering we were welcomed and allowed to choose a table, but when this took too long, according to this man, we received a special comment, which was probably meant to be popular and funny, but came across as rather condescending. Although this man was having a great time (dancing, singing along to songs, etc.), he had no regard for his guests. I made eight attempts to order a second drink, had to pick up my own cutlery from the bar while eating and the music was so loud that I could hardly hear my table companions. That's why we skipped dessert. A nice restaurant that, with its vegan menu, really complements the offering in the area, but still has some things to work on.

Finally I've tried Soil and it was really nice. I had the jackfruit pulled pork and their snicker dessert, they were good.

Small menu with really tasty dishes. Nice background music. Very friendly staff.

Ordered for the first time, by chance, but will definitely order here again. Good portions, fast, nice delivery and really tasty! Writing this with a wonderful taste in my mouth 😋

Very tasty food. Super friendly service. Very lively and good music.

If you are vegan go there. From the starters till the dessert everything was super delicious and well balanced in taste. Wow! And the service was nice, very kind and cool people!

Super nice food with interesting twists on existing favourites. The use of kimchi is amazing. Despite both the kimchi loaded fries and the kimchi burger being a bit much together, each is absolutely amazing in combination with something unrelated to Kimchi! The cheesecake was also absolutely yummy.

Great food, great music (waiter even put Fleetwood Mac in the song queue for us!) and great atmosphere. 10/10

Tried 3 dishes which were all equally delicious. Chai latte and Tumeric golld latte best ever had. If you are in Amsterdam you just have to visit this place.

Great food and enthusiastic waiter who clearly liked his job. Made a change from typical Dutch service.

Delicious food! Great service! Dora was amazing! She explained every dish meticulously! Thanks so much! We will come again soon!

Amazing food served by incredible staff.

Extremely delicious food! 🤩 Very nice service

We ordered a noodle dish, and after a long wait we got a way too salty dish. I sent mine back, and she said they couldn't do anything about it, because the sauce was ready-made. They offered us another dish, which I accepted. What she failed to mention was that we then had to pay for both the dish I sent back (after one single bite), AND the new dish. I cannot recommend this place, and the street has lots of other (better and cheaper) options.

Amazing food, great music and friendly service. Highly recommend the casave and spareribs. Cheesecake was also really good!

I was looking for a comfy place to celebrate my birthday, and SOIL definitely met the expectations. Best vegan food I’ve ever had in my life, the peanut butter curry and the ben ben noodles were to die for! Atmosphere is chill and cozy, but still a bit fancy, a great mix to be honest. Service was impeccable, wine was good as well. Next time I’m in Amsterdam I will definitely visit again, thank you for the great experience!

One of the best Vegan-Restaurants if bin.

Delicious food. The cheesecake and snickers are highly recommended. Full of flavour, not too sweet and so tasty that you won't notice it's vegan. We were helped well by the friendly Julia.

Tried the Ruben Burger (which is a sandwich, not a sourdough bun as written on the menu) and it was okay. Although 12,5€ seems like a lot for a sandwich.

Excellent! In particular, I am referring to the level of kindness with which I was offered a dish different from the one I had chosen, as soon as they understood that I couldn't eat it, because it was too spicy for me. Thanks to Giulia and Giorgio.

Lovely little café, they have a good variety of dishes so there's always something you like. Very flavorful food too. I had the ramen and hubs had a selection of starters as a main course. They were served together as requested!

Super nice spot for dinner. Fast, kind service, excellent food, extreme amazingly tasty desert! They could have made more money if they would have given us more time in between dishes, by asking if we wanted more drinks!

I love all the food here and the fun people! I keep coming back for the cheesecake ❤️

We were very excited to eat at this vegan restaurant and I have to admit that the food met our expectations! It was delicious and especially the ‘ribs’ were beyond! But.. the service was unfortunately the worst we both ever experienced. The (new?) waitress wasn’t welcoming us, didn’t wish us a good appetite and couldn’t show a smile at all. While she was sitting behind the desk playing on her phone, we had to walk to the desk to order more drinks. There were only three tables occupied and everyone had to walk to the counter to order more drinks, deserts or pay the bill. Another couple didn’t even got cutlery while their food was already more than five minutes on the table and eventually had to ask for it themselves. After finishing our food, the waitress didn’t had a single look at our (or others) table anymore and our dirty plates were there even when I walked to the counter to ask for the bill half an hour later. Good food is not the only reasons why you eat out at a restaurant, friendly and good service is an essential part of it too. Such a pitty for a restaurant that serves such tasty vegan food…

Food is amazing, nice portions and nice atmosphere. We took the Ben Ben noodles and the beet-feta-kale salad, both were great, healthy but indulgent. Recommend!

Great food great service!!! Their Blue berry cake was awesome!

This is an absolute gem for vegan foodies in Amsterdam. We absolutely enjoyed every bite and the place as an excellent beer selection. The waiter was incredibly friendly and we felt very welcome. Would definitely go again.

Located behind the Muiderpoort station, about 2 minutes by bike. Cosy location, bit dark though. We chose the high seats, but with hindsight go for the low ones. Food was really tasty and served fast. Friendly service, bit shy lady. Mostly English speaking. I had the beef type seitan short baguette, which was great. I took some of the jalapeno peppers off, because it was a bit too hot for me. Girls had the cheesy burger and enjoyed it a lot. The fries and vegan mayo were great and not fatty at all. Vegan Snickers as a desert! Only try when you have sufficient space left in your stomach as it is heavy stuff

Hier gister avond voor het eerst gegeten. WOW! Wat een fijne plek. Het eten was echt zo ontzettend lekker. Als je een plek zoekt om lekker te eten met een groep mensen, waarvan 1 of enkele mensen vega/ vegan eten... ga hier heen! Niemand mist hier vlees of vis want alles is zo jummmm. 10/10 voor de bediening trouwens. Die man was zo vrolijk, aardig en danste lekker mee op de muziek. De playlist verdient ook een 10/10. We draaien hem thuis nu ook : )

Heerlijk eten! Vriendelijke bediening. Helaas duurt het wel wat lang allemaal… gevalletje understaffed? (Maar met2). Ook veel afhaalbestellingen die lijken voorrang te krijgen? Zit wel veel potentie in! Heerlijk en plantaardig gegeten 🌱

Good food, good people and good soundtrack

The tacos were amazing. Also had ramen and noodles, both very good. The snickers was the perfect dessert to a great meal. Definitely recommend.

Really good food, but the cherry on top was the excellent service and the amazing music taste of the staff. Everything we ordered was absolutely Delicious. The mushroom bitterballs stood out the most. Thank you for this very fun evening whilst dining there 😁

It was like a gem found in an unexpected place. You have to travel past the typical tourist attractions. And that is a huge plus. No busy people, no misbehaving grown-ups. Just friendly people having a excellent vegan meal. If you want to go there with more than two people, I would recommend to make a reservation. The food was very special. With every bite you taste the creativity and pleasure in making vegan food and in turning classic international meat dishes into a vegan one. So greatful, we found this place. We will come back for sure!

Ik had een groepsdinertje met 22 personen bij Soil, en dat was een hele fijne ervaring. Lekker eten en goede service.

Thanks so much to the team at SOIL for an amazing meal and amazing service! And for accommodating our group at the last minute. Our servers were so warm and lovely, and the food exceeded expectations. It was such an enjoyable experience for our team. We loved every moment! And meeting Charlie (the mascot) was priceless 😊

Delicious, unique and well-made dishes with great portion sizes. Lovely staff and atmosphere too

Absolutely fantastic meal, Ben Ben noodles, Ribs, the flavours are so fresh. We came out feeling completely satisfied and content. Also had the snickers, and saved some for later the snickers is even better when it has been left to warm to room temp. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back!

This was a surprise of how good the food was. We don't usually it vegan food or go to a vegan restaurant, but if you are looking for something new to try, this would be the place. It is a cozy spot with nice staff en good food.

Nice place for non vegans (me) as well to try different foods :)

Great food and service at this place! I only took pic of the ribs. They were incredible - must try. I also tried the pulled pork tacos, smokey aubergine dip and chorizo. The aubergine dip was not that great, but the rest were delicious. Overall I had a great time dining here.

First of all, thanks to the really attentive and very friendly person who served us as well as to the person who cooked the fantastic food. We are big fans of vegan restaurants and always visit a different vegan restaurant at least once a month wherever we are. Here at SOIL we ate: the tacos, the RIB, the bitterballen and the cheescake. The RIB was very tender and juicy with an Asian-inspired barbecue sauce. Personally, I was expecting a more smoky salty version but was pleasantly surprised by the slightly sweeter, lighter version. The tacos were beautifully decorated and super tasty. I personally would have liked the really nice sauce separately, as it was a bit dominant and thus not all the great ingredients came through. All around though, they were still fantastic tacos. The bitterballen were exactly how I think they should be (I'm no expert and have to trust the kitchen here). The bottom of the cheesecake was a super tasty cookie base and the filling including strawberry jam was delicious. For me personally, the filling might be a bit creamier and fluffier but I know how hard it is to compare a vegan cheesecake to a cheesecake made with animal products. From there I was also more than satisfied with the cheesecake. Even non-vegans will experience a taste explosion :) The portions may seem a bit high priced for starters at first but every bite was worth it. For two people, this total of three starters and a cake was definitly enough (and usually we eat a lot). I highly recommend a visit to SOIL and I hope that one day you make it to cologne with your recipes! :)

Loved the minimalist ambience. And the bbq ribs, they were a treat!

Visited here after looking for various vegan options and hoping they would be able to accommodate on a busy weeknight and they did. The service was great and knowledgeable, letting us know about food options and also about how long the service would take. The food was exceptional, every dish was amazing (leave room for the dessert!)

Mijn ervaring hier was oké, maar niet super. Ten eerste: de kaart is leuk (originele gerechten, de “vis”kroketjes vielen in de smaak) en de aankleding van het restaurant is ook warm en gezellig. De bediening was vriendelijk. Het eten maakte ons niet heel enthousiast. Mijn vriendin had de peanut curry die niet heel veel anders was dan de simpele curry die je zelf thuis ook makkelijk maakt. Ik had de ben ben noodles. De sesamsaus was super lekker, maar de udon noodles waren helemaal zacht gekookt. Toen we dit bij het afrekenen opmerkten zeiden ze dat een andere gast eerder die dag ook al dezelfde aanmerking had, en dat ze een wat teveel doorgekookte batch hadden gemaakt. Dat vond ik wel jammer; als er al eens is geklaagd en je weet dat de batch noodles te lang is gekookt kan je beter nieuwe maken in plaats van ze te blijven serveren. Service was verder erg langzaam maar we begrepen dat ze die dag onderbezet waren dus wellicht is dat op andere dagen beter. Al met al: niet echt fantastisch gegeten, maar mogelijk is het op andere dagen dus wel beter.

Very delicious and creative food options! Loved it there! You know a place knows what they are doing when you see several jars of fermented food in the shelves. Staff were also super helpful, attentive and sweet and took great care to make our stay enjoyable. Will definitely visit again. Thank you so much 💕

Premetto che sono di palato abbastanza "aperto" e la cena mi è proprio piaciuta, ma, devo ammettere che non lo consiglierei a chi non è abituato a sapori particolari. Sicuramente non per una prima esperienza vegana.

Sadly my dish was a disappointment. The peanut curry is obviously made with frozen vegetables which at this price it should be made with fresh veg! The service was lovely though and my friend loved her laksa soup so I still give them 4 stars. Just don’t order that curry. It’s a bit expensive but the portions are generous. Some days you can book with a discount on the Fork.

Good food. Good vibe. I tried the kimchi burger & Ben ben Noodles ✨

Nice restaurant, friendly service and extensive menu. Take Ribs sweet & sour sauce, scallions, sesame as a starter. And as a main course the Ben Ben Noodles. Tastes delicious!

Ribs were burned black to a crisp which is carcinogenic, and when you order a starter and a main dish it gets REALLY expensive. Not recommended, we won't return.

Had the best chips I have ever tasted. All the food was prepared carefully and with love. I don't eat onions and garlic, so they went out of their way to cook something I could eat. Not cheap, but amazing tasting food!

Food was really good, but couldn't even get a glass of water with two dishes (30€), we had to pay 4€ more. I've never seen that over 200+ restaurants I've been.

This is a great, cosy cafe with amazing food. We simply couldn't choose between all the great options on the menu. We ordered both burgers and hot bowls and everything was delicious. Our waiter was very friendly and the drinks were good. Definitely recommend this place!
