Sonny in Oude Pijp

Our family has been coming to Sonny’s Falafel for over 25 years, and it’s still our favorite falafel in Amsterdam. Fresh, delicious vegetarian food and always a warm, friendly welcome. We’re very happy that Sonny’s family has continued his legacy and kept this special place going. A true hidden gem!

One of best vegetarian place on Amsterdam. I love it! Divine power. Professional team. Greatfully pieces of foodlife. One of one. Top of top. Winners are eternity. Thankfully, Guys.

Great fresh food, friendly owners and nice spot!

Very tasty pita with falafel, topping and fillings you can choose yourself - neat and very friendly 🥙

If you’re craving fresh falafel with equally fresh toppings , veggies and sauces, this is the place to be The owner is very friendly and warm. Great fries as well! 10/10 recommend

One of the best pita with falafel and hummus I've ever had, and also cheap when compared with other places in Amsterdam. Most of the toppings are self-service (like a buffet), which I find pretty unusual but intresting. The staff is very friendly.

Super great falafel and an open salat and sauce bar, where you can load your pita yourself. Way better than all the tourist traps...

Sonny’s is a family run cafe with fresh and delicious food. I would rate this among the best falafel places in Amsterdam, hands down. Sonny’s has been around since the 90’s and has been serving Amsterdam some of the finest and freshest fries around for 30 years. All of the food, including the fries are prepared daily and you can taste the love that it is made with. This is a lovely little shop with nice outdoor seating, situated right next to Sapharti park where you can enjoy all the gezelligheid and hubbub Amsterdam has to offer. If you haven’t had Sonny’s yet then do yourself a favor and try all their delicious toppings, your taste buds and your body will thank you!

A small place where you can eat excellent chips and good pita. Very friendly staff also provided us with information.

The best falafel in Amsterdam! Delicious homemade toppings, the staff is always friendly.

Would highly recommend Sonny for a healthy lunch or dinner falafel pita! I’ve been a regular customer at Sonny for the last two years and they catered at a 30-people house party. The falafel and salad bar is always incredibly fresh, for a very reasonable price, and their service is outstanding.

I've never had such delicious falafel in my life. The cleanliness, service, and staff are great. A Sonny's souvenir.

This restaurant makes really good falafel and everything is homemade. The owner also speaks many languages ​​fluently, including Catalan, Spanish, Dutch, and English. I recommend eating here if you're visiting.

Very clean, excellent service, and above all, great food. I highly recommend this place.

A great find! Fresh and delicious food, excellent fries, a huge selection of fresh salads and falafels. Not to mention the absolutely lovely service!

Really an amazing Falafel pita with so much taste! You add the different salads yourself with a really great variety! And everything for a very good price ♥️

The best Falafel that i have ever had. I would suggest everyone to do visit once when they visit the Albert Cuyp market. The place is very near to that street.

best falafel sandwich in the city, made with so much love!

Possibly the best falafel roll I’ve had in my life. Came here two nights in a row for a quick and cheap dinner. Chips were delicious too!

The food is delicious and they have vegan options. The couple who own the place are lovely, always in a good mood, and very attentive to their customers. They're delightful. They also speak Spanish and are very funny. Thank you. I'll always come back.

The best falafel in Amsterdam!! And the owner is so friendly, we will be back as soon as possible :))

Very good work ❤️ best quality food

Best falafel wrap i have had till now Super fresh and amazing

I used to come here since I was small and it still tastes great!

As a takeout restaurant it is very hard to fault Singh and his team. From a warm welcome to delicious falafel pitas. Located in the heart of the vibrant De Pijp and works perfect for a quick meal before checking out all the other bars

The Bombay fries are sooooo good!

If you're an Indian visiting Amsterdam, don't miss this place! 🇮🇳❤️ The falafel has a flavor that's surprisingly close to Indian taste—crispy, fresh, and full of spices. It was absolutely amazing! 😋 The prices are very reasonable, and the best part? You can even enjoy a nice cup of chai here. ☕ It's a perfect stop if you're craving comforting, flavorful food while traveling. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious, budget-friendly food with a touch of home!

Amazing falafel! Fresh, crispy on the outside, and full of flavor. The owners are so welcoming and warm, making you feel right at home. Great portions, fresh ingredients, and excellent service. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for delicious falafel!

It's really, really good. Our colleague is celiac and was able to eat it without any problems. You can fill the pita bread with vegetables, chickpeas, and anything else they have as many times as you want, without any limits. Highly recommended.

Incredible food for so cheap! Everything was so fresh and tasty and the kind man working talked us through the menu. The best part is any falafel pita comes with unlimited salad so you can take advantage of going back as many times as you want. The falafels are so moist and crunchy on the outside. As an Aussie looking for a truly good food place you gotta try this!! Wish we stayed for longer we would come back every day

Very tasty falafel with Bombay fries. Delicious taste and good quality.

Kind people, very welcoming. Entirelly vegetarian and tons of vegan options. Very generous portions and low prices. Would go there over and over again <33

Owner was super nice and welcoming! Food was very good! 10/10 would recommend

Found this gem in Amsterdam after years of living here. Best falafel place in city. By margin. Must try. You will come back.

It’s the best falafel in the city and the toppings are so good specially the chickpea one. You should def eat it!!

A well-loved local spot with the best falafel-in-pita around. Unique in that you can add your own salad with a strong selection of big flavours and different sauces. Highly recommend squishes your falafel and pita to fit in more salad :)

Delicious! Highly recommended ✌🏼☺️

A great place that's good and inexpensive. And the most amazing thing is that they serve you the base, and you add whatever you want on top yourself! And you can have seconds. It's simple, you eat your fill, and it's a balanced meal. The best place I've tried so far in Amsterdam.

Super yummy falafel pitas, with refillable items from the salad bar! The condiments at the salad bar are so good! Falafels are well-seasoned! Fries came with interesting sauces!

Never have met such a kind and generous owner

Great location, friendly people, and excellent food—I'd say the best falafel I've ever had. Lots of options and toppings to choose from. A great alternative to the classic.

I am not allowed to eat certain things, and they took this into account very well. Great!

Literally the best felafel I've had in years. Great choice of really unique salads and sauces. Actually worth the price

Food made with love and care and a smile always tastes best to me 🙏🏾❤️ the salad bar with which you can decorate your falagal is extensive. The hygiene is great as well. My favorite falafel place in town 😊

Falafels seem very authentic and flavorful. The whole package including unlimited salad and sauces make this a far better deal than any other limited falafel place in the city. Wide variety of options for salad and fresh too. Pita volkoren with feta is my choice for the mix of different flavors. 10/10 recommended

Good atmosphere, amazing falafel and very friendly service. True family business. They have a nice low key terrace and with amazing toppings. The coriander sauce is the beste! Also take away service is great! Also the best LOADED fries with all the toppings you want

The most delicious Fried I’ve ever had !!! The owner sonny is very welcoming and friendly ! Must visit while in Amsterdam 🍟

Best falafel in town! Been coming here for 30 years!!

Good food and service, and you can refill your falafels with delicious filling. Would recommend!

Best falafel and potatoes in town. You feel welcome. Loved it so much my family asked to come again, which we did.

We stopped in here last night (a wednesday in June) after a day running around Amsterdam. We read the great reviews and are long time vegetarians so wanted to check it out. We are really glad we did and will definitely be going back next time we are in the city. Great, fresh tasting food with a lot of interesting toppings, from mild to spicy. There’s a little set of gezellig tables outside and the area is energetic. The man running the restaurant is personable and makes you feel comfortable right away, before you know it you are talking and realize you have one of those small world experiences where you came from the area one of their family members live…it’s just a great spot. Nice owners, wonderful food with flavor, pleasant little spot to duck out of the street and get replenished in all the ways that food and a nice conversation with kind and interesting people can. Thanks for being there and we look forward to our next visit!

Family run go-to for the best falafel in town. The spicy is actually spicy which is great and the salad bar is infinite, delicious and fresh with a great mix of flavours to choose from.

best falafel in Amsterdam and a cute terrace to enjoy it!

Very good falafel with lots of salad options and a very friendly team ☺️

best bang for your buck! kind employees and great food! ( !hot sauce alert! )

The best falafel in Amsterdam! Everything is freshly made and the people are very nice.

Excellent fresh food!!! A must visit on your trip to Amsterdam! Lovely hospitality as well 😊

The best falafel I have ever had. Probably because they fry it freshly after you place your order. Lot's of yummy toppings to choose from and we were offered to top it ourselves as much as we liked.

Lovely pita's, good falafel and the fact that you can resupply on unlimited toppings is just what everyone needs. Owner is friendly, me is happy. Enjoy!

Had the most amazing falafal here. Would highly recommend this place

Delicious food, highly recommended for vegans and vegetarians!

Amazing falafel pittas in a really cool part of town. We got chatting to the owner while we were in there about the shop, which has been open since 1991 and has a lot of history. Gentrification makes it harder for locals to keep up with rising prices but this guy has kept his menu super affordable whilst also offering really decent grub. We were full up for a good few hours and only spent ~€15 for 2 falafel pittas with feta cheese and loads of extras. You can tell the food is still made with love after 35 years of being open. Thanks for a fab meal 😀😁

No idea why this is so well-rated. The food is not good. There are plenty of better places nearby. Don’t bother with this one.

The falafel are genuine amazing. Prices are really good too and the owner is really welcoming!

Good quality-price, Goodyear service, small and chill terrace. Good quality falafel honestly , algo good Belgium fries

Fantastic full corn pita with tasty Falafel and a wife choise of salad to add to it. The chips are brilliantly cookies and so tasty.

This place is a fantastic find! It’s always a win when a place has both kid-friendly staples like great fries and something flavorful for the adults with spicy sauce. A kind owner and a solid falafel wrap really make a local spot stand out. Must try place 👍.

Excellent place, excellent service and prices

The falafel was so good, the sandwiches were full of flavors.

Very good place. Friendly people. Awesome food.

Amazing fries and falafel here. Equally amazing owner, staff and their service. Ask for Indian-Dutch combo/fusion fries shown in the pic. They are the best!

I had the falafel bowl. It was do delicious and staff was super friendly. Great service

Really good food and beautiful lovely staff good energy

The food was amazing, we'll definitely be back.

We had a fantastic meal, and Mr. Sonny was incredibly helpful, even coming to our table specifically to tell us how the food was. He was really lovely. He spoke Spanish fluently.

Great place for vegetarian/vegan pita and fries! The Bombay mix sauce (with fries) was sweet, spicy, tangy and flavour! The fries were crispy from the outside and soft from the inside. Yummy falafels too! Loved it ❤️ The owner is very generous with the helpings and service. Must visit when you’re at the Albertcuyp market 👍🏻

Best spicy also delicious food in Amsterdam The customer care is so gracious to allow us to have unlimited toppings. As a Sri Lankan I definitely recommend this place

Delicious falafel and beautiful caring people,

Simple, fresh and delicious. Sonny's legacy continues by his brother.

Delicious falafel. Hummus. Wonderful salads. Excellent Belgian fries.

Get yourself some amazing falafel and chips from Sonny's! The yellow spicy sauce is fantastic - made everyday by the owner!

unreal food, really nice people and for a reasonable price. 10/10 chips as well

Nice place to pass by to get some fresh falafel and French fries 🍟 with peanut 🥜 sauce - a special in Amsterdam ( you have to ask about it) The owner is very nice, friendly, professional hospitality. He tells us about his story about the store. I can tell that this is the best place for fresh falafel in Amsterdam I have been try so far 👌 Even in the center next to the outdoor market but the price is reasonable 🤔 Highly recommended 👌

One of the best falafel wraps we had on this trip, everything is made fresh and the host Sandeep went out of the way to make our lunch special! Must visit if you are craving some hummus falafel pita

this is the best pita falafel and fries of the world a like it so much that i eat every week

Very welcoming and delicious falafel.

Perfect food and customer service! A great number one!

The place for felafel. Unlimited salad and sides.

Great falafel, everything made super fresh. The flavours were on point and very generous also with everything Highly recommended!

Best falafel in Amsterdam by faaar

Choosing Sonny is like choosing the Real Madrid. They are the best on the field, the teammates we dreamt about and known worldwide! Delicious, friendly and affordable, thank you very much family 🤍

best falafel I've ever tasted! lots of good vegetables and sauces to choose from

We met them by chance and it was an incredible surprise. The staff was impeccable and very friendly. The food is excellent and full of flavor. The prices are great. I highly recommend that anyone passing by try Sonny's falafel.

best falafel in Amsterdam, probably Europe. Friendly, quick, affordable. They deserve all your love!

My boyfriend and I have been coming here for years, driving especially from outside Amsterdam for the pita falafel from Sonny's. The falafel is delicious, and the owners are incredibly hospitable. It's a place we always love to return to!

I've been coming to this place for over 10 years for delicious falafel and fries. The people who work there are really nice!

We visited Sonny Falafel and Fries in Amsterdam and honestly, it was amazing. We ordered their fries and tried the Bombay sauce on top, and it was absolutely fantastic, full of flavor and perfectly balanced. What really made the experience special was meeting Mr. Singh. He took the time to share the story behind the shop and the idea of creating an authentic taste, originally inspired by his brother, Mr. Sonny, who founded the concept. Hearing the background while enjoying the food made it even more meaningful. Mr. Singh welcomed us very warmly and even offered us complimentary falafel, which we truly appreciated. The hospitality was outstanding, and the taste was just as unforgettable, fresh, crispy, and full of character. If you’re in Amsterdam, this is a must-visit spot. Great food, great people, and a great story behind it. Highly recommended.

I stumbled into this incredible spot in Amsterdam while exploring the streets with my friends, and wow what a find! Amazing food, fantastic service, everything just hit right. I so wish I’d had time to enjoy their falafel pita one more time, but the airport was calling. Definitely saving it for next time!

Excellent falafel and fries. Friendly staff. This place has character and the best food you could wish for. You can scoop your own toppings, which is also great.

Damn! Went there out of desperation - were blown away by the taste! For sure among the best „bangs“ for the buck in Amsterdam. And the possibility to add the sides in your Pita bread yourself is such a great concept. I now have to come back to try different variations and sauces :) Fries and falafel were top notch! Not much space to sit jfyi. :)
