Surinaams restaurant WENBO in Bijlmer Centrum (D,F,H)

Delicious roti roll with lamb. Their home-made ginger beer is highly recommended.

I visit Mrs. in the restaurant more often. It gets more and more brutal every time, the lady knows nothing about customer friendliness and literally just chases customers away, super rude, she doesn't let you steal normally, she doesn't give you a table properly either. Even when you want to pay, you first have to show which bank you paid for and what. I think it's super rude because she won't let you pay until she knows what kind of pass it is. Unfortunately I had a bad experience, which is a shame because the food is good.

Can that woman scream?! always sorry for that boy who works there 😂

I have been coming here for 7 years with great pleasure and good contact with the lady behind the counter. However, this week I had an unpleasant experience that I would like to share here because the lady is not open to reason. Since this year, Rabobank (one of the first, the rest will follow) has started replacing Maestro and V Pay payment cards with MasterCard or Visa payment cards. I have been in possession of such a MasterCard payment card for two weeks now. The lady behind the counter charged €2 extra for using this pass. I tried to explain to her that this is a new card and is simply a (debit) payment card. There are no additional costs for the retailer compared to the (old) MaestroCard. She did not want to understand this and assuming that she was not yet aware of these new passes, I paid the €2 extra because otherwise I would not get my food. To make it clear to myself, I contacted Rabobank to check whether there are additional costs for the retailer when using the new MasterCard. That was not the case, it concerns a regular (debit) payment card. I just tried to explain this to the lady by phone (I live 125km away) but I didn't really have the chance to make my arguments clear. The lady kept raving and there was no way to intervene. I asked for an email address where I can email some sites so that she could see at her leisure what these new Master and Visa Cards mean. This was not a possibility and the phone was tossed up. Suddenly I also had to deal with the heated position referred to in several reviews. Do you have a new Meastro or Visa debit payment card? Then skip this establishment. Unless you are willing to pay €2 extra. Perhaps this site can help you in the future: - Rabobank - Consumers' Association - NOS - Dutch Payments Association

Great food, very annoying woman behind the counter (see also reviews about breastfeeding and hysteria around alleged Mastercard surcharges)

Wanted to have lunch here with my family and had to breastfeed my baby. I was just feeding when she came screaming and told me that she was going to cancel our order because she didn't think I could handle breastfeeding. Of course I did this discreetly, and the restaurant was otherwise empty so it didn't bother anyone. But she thought differently and reminded me that it was 'dirty' and 'ridiculous', pointing to my drinking child. I believe that every mother should be free to feed her child whenever necessary. Someone else has nothing to say about that, and certainly not in such a rude way. A shame, because the food is good, but I will never come back here.

Rude service. If you want to be yelled at like a dog, this is the place for you.

This place was very good with very good service and very good food I hundred percent recommend coming here the food is also arrived here very quickly

Worst restaurant in the Gate. The food is crappy and the owner is downright rude. This restaurant is for event visitors who see it as a plus that for some reason there is always enough room to eat here. It's the only reason this place is even open. Not a good representative of South East

Tastiest vegetarian roti (and other dishes) in the area!

This could have been a good restaurant. Was good until it got busy and the staff started to get all stressed. I don't eat very quickly, but I have never experienced them asking three times if I was ready. Then we were asked to pay, I wasn't even allowed to finish my drink. 0 stars for friendliness here. Stressed, unfriendly woman photographed

Delicious food for a competitive price!

Not even worth 1 star. Rude waitress shouts at you as a customer when you ask for a napkin and a fork. The sandwiches were not tasty, the straws were hanging right above the open garbage can and the glasses were covered in deposits. When ordering, she explains that we have to order more, because this is not enough. When we sit down and she brings the sandwiches, it turns out that the cod is salty and dry, the pom too soft and no taste except sugar. Then we ask for a knife, and she indicates that she does not have a knife that I can use. Then we ask for an extra plate, and an extra napkin and a fork. She forgets the napkin and when I ask for it again she yells at me that if I need something, I have to ask for everything at once. Because she's not going to walk up and down. And that we are difficult to ask for so many things. Crappy service and food, actually not even worth 1 star.

Simple restaurant, no frills, just good food for a good price. Nice service and hygienic. *Update* I ate their delicious tjaumin with roasted chicken again, very good as always

Great meal. You can really find better Surinamese in the area, but it is a nice place to sit and the portions are very large and not too high in price. Recommended if, for example, you are going to do something near the Arena and you want good soil.

Food was on time, but it was not tasty. If you have tasted real Surinamese cuisine, this is nothing. And that 10 is putting it mildly. Too bad again. Wasn't worth the money.Tasty food. Chicken is literally boiled and thrown into the fried rice. Bami isn't even bami. Flat kind of weird noodles. I'm not used to this. It does not work. Unfortunately it deserves 0 stars.

We had the tofu curry with rice.. somebody who loves tofu, curry and rice will like the food and taste.. price was also reasonable.. their roti role is quite famous..

Food was good. Atmosphere was not so good, but food was really good.

Wij gaan er al jaren heen vanuit Bussum voor de heerlijke Moksi meti en Roti.

Great food! You can tell that they make their food with passion for the Surinamese kitchen. The owner is also very friendly and kind.

Delicious food, large portions, fast serving, low price.

Lekker en voldoende en vriendelijk personeel

Tent is onopvallend maar daardoor wel een verborgen juweel. Het eten is daadwerkelijk heeeer-lijk. Ik woon in De Haag maar gek genoeg om een omweg te maken voor een portie.

Authentic place offering delicious food for a very decent price. Be aware that they accept Maestro cards only.

Heerlijk gegeten voor hele schappelijke prijs

Great spot for a good, cheap lunch. Food was very good, no complaints.

Zaterdagmiddag langsgeweest, was behoorlijk druk. Dame achter de kassa kwam heel chaotisch over en best ongeïnteresseerd. Na het plaatsen van de bestelling werden we naar buiten gestuurd om te wachten.. 20 min wachttijd.. Na 25 min maar naar binnen gegaan en was de dame achter de kassa op zoek naar mijn bestelling, deze was vrij snel gevonden..Vroeg of ze ook peper had ingepakt, en de dame wees me op een bakje met sambal..Dit leek wel sambal oelek, was overigens 1 bakje. ik had 2 gerechten besteld dus dat vondt ik een beetje weinig, toen heeft de dame dat grote bakje gewoon in 2 hele mini bakjes verdeeld en meegegeven.. Heel jammer voor een 1e bezoek.. Had beide gerechten ook in de speciaal variant besteld, weet echter niet wat het verschil was met een normale portie, vlees was niet apart maar gewoon op de nasi verpakt.. Ik ben gewend dat speciaal inhoud dat het (extra) vlees apart wordt verpakt, hier dus niet en ook de porties waren niet groot. De geroosterde kip (zie fotos) zag er ook een beetje aangebrand uit..

Basic restaurant with good Surinamese food, great if you look for a decently priced lunch in Amsterdamse Poort. Very efficient service.

Lekker Surinaams eten voor weinig. Genoeg vegetarische keuze, vriendelijke en snelle bediening.

Good alternative for indian food 🙂

Eten goed! Als je haast hebt niet gaan. Bediening drama! Vooral de eigenaresse

Let niet op het uiterlijk van dit restaurant: het ging de eigenaren duidelijk niet om de verpakking, maar om de inhoud. Vrouw en zoontje hadden een tjauw min kipfilet en groenten gedeeld en ik had tjauw min met mager varkensvlees met pikante Wenbo-saus en groenten. Daarnaast nog een potje sambal. Oh boy, dit was smullen hoor. Zelfs vrouwlief zei echt genoten te hebben. Zoontje nam af en toe een beetje Wenbo-saus voor bij z'n tjauw min. Ondanks dat die best pittig was, vond ie het erg lekker 😁 Ikzelf heb m'n bord tot de laatste restjes en laatste druppels saus leeg gegeten. Als toetje hebben we nog een doosje met verse maïzenakoekjes genomen. Om uit te buiken zijn we daarmee naar Duivendrecht gelopen. Kortom, als je van smakelijk Surinaams eten houdt, kom hier dan zeker even langs.

Ordered tjauwmin moksi meti and chicken sate. Food was good and delivered quite fast. Good if youre on your way to a football match

Wat een heerlijke roti voor een gangbare prijs. Vriendelijk personeel en een lekker koud biertje.

Best place within a couple of kilometers. Nice kitchen, quick service

Je zou het niet zeggen als je dit tentje zo ziet. Maar heerlijk gegeten, aanrader!

De eigenares is zeer bot en luidruchtig. Het broodje hete kip was wel smakelijk, daarom twee sterren ipv een ster

Service was okay and quick. More roti with food would have been nice. Good portion. Moderate price. A little pricey. Please note that take and Dine in portions and service are different. You cannot get Take out portion and Dine in. Food tasted good!

Heerlijke grote Saotosoep gegeten op locatie. Sambal die je erbij krijgt past er goed bij. Collega de kleine genomen en was er ook zeer te spreken over.

Ook in tijden van Covid hebben ze hier de lekkerste roti van Bijlmer. De roti is hier best pittig gekruid. Als je niet van pittig eten houdt kan je ook de mokis meti bestellen, fijn gekruid, maar niet pittig. Of je kan 1 van de vele andere gerechten bestellen...

Een degelijke tent met lekkere broodjes en lekkere gerechten. Ik vroeg mij wel af waarom het hier minder druk is dan de andere gelegenheden.

Super lekker gegeten!!! Echt een aanrader! Aardige bediening!

Eten is goed, voor een chinees die surinaams kookt

Heerlijk eten voor een leuke prijs

Heerlijk gegeten, als je van Surinaamse eten houdt.

Heerlijk, precies gegeten wat ik aangaf te willen proeven.

Altijd lekker eten, vriendelijke bediening. Flinke porties voor een goede prijs. Ik ga hier heel regelmatig halen, Roti is een favoriet van mij.
