TerraZen Centre in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

One of the tastiest places to eat, it is very cozy inside and the staff is very friendly! Definitely recommended<3

Amazing food. Probably one of the best lunches I’ve ever had.

Very tasty food with a mix of Caribbean and Japanese. Service was nice, but a bit lackluster.

best vegan burger I‘ve ever had!

The restaurant doesn't look like anything inside or out. Greeted by - to put it kindly - a very listless employee, we ordered “vegan plate” and “gyoza plate”. In addition, the menus were (not exaggeratedly) very rancid and simply dirty pieces of paper on a clipboard. The taste of the food was quite good, but it was far from the best vegan food I've ever had. Anyone who has already been around a bit can confirm that - contrary to many reviews here - there are many other restaurants that are much better. Conclusion: the food is impressive, but that's it. Wouldn't come here as a vegan.

Had the Chicken and chips, truly the best thing I've ever eaten...total disclosure....I may or may not have been to a "café" before hand, but I stand by my statement

This place is amazing! The food is the best I had in Amsterdam. Would recommend the Ital-Vital plate and coconut milkshake.

Some of the food is delicious and some is just ordinary. But overall, for vegan food, this is very good. Being in the middle of Amsterdam, it makes it very easy for us as vegans to find food. The gyoza is delicious.

I came here in October. The food was really nice - although less than a fusion than I expected. The service was pretty poor - I felt like we shouldn't be there.

This is one of my favorite vegan restaurants in Amsterdam, so I felt like dedicating a few words, the place is unique and reminds me a lot of one of those classic local Caribbean restaurants, But! The service is practically non-existent, the waiters at most say hello, as there is no real service, the place is a bit expensive and it could be and do so much more, by the way the philosophy need to be support it and the style of the owner is TOP !

The best vegan place in amsterdam

The food was very tasty, the portions could have been a little bigger. The service is okay, but sometimes seems a bit lackluster. The ambience is quite nice, but it is more reminiscent of a snack bar. There is a toilet

Fantastic vegan food in Amsterdam!

Nice atmosphere, selection and taste of the food was very good, gladly again. You had to allow some time for the service, but otherwise it was great.

Amazing food, and the homemade ginger beer was delicious!

The food was incredibly delicious. It was very diverse and there was something for everyone :))

The food was delicious (open bun with avocado, next to it: lentils and spinach). Everything super seasoned and fresh. I will definitely come back to taste other things. Thank you that it was ready quickly too (I didn't have much time because of a concert and indicated this). It's not often that I leave feeling satisfied, but here I did.

Food was absolutely unreal. What a great fusion of flavours! A little bit of a wait, but worth it

Excellent vegan fusion food. Jamaican - Asian plates. I took the ital - vital which was great !

A fully vegan little lunch spot. Beautifully full and tasty "BLT" sandwich, service was weird, and the place seemed a little run down, but food and drinks came out quick and we left with satisfied bellies

Food was good. Interesting mix of Japanese and Carribean. I got the vegan lust plate which felt a little more Japanese but was good nevertheless.

This spot has a real homely vibe. The samosas were nice and I had fried plantains as well. The cheesy sticks (not seen in the pic) were good, but I didn't quite like that they use the same brown sauce for the samosas as well. Making those two side dishes taste almost the same because that sauce is really predominant. - no wifi for guests - they toss nori flakes on all the 3 side dishes I ordered and I have the feeling that they just toss it on almost every dish + love that it's all vegan and I want to come back to try out the main dishes

Perfekt. Good place for vegans. Very happy girlfriend as a result:)

We went there with six non-vegans and all of us were most pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and totally hit the spot. Would gladly return!

The food was so so good!! I had the gyoza plate and spring rolls. The atmosphere was pretty fun and we enjoyed our time there.

Vegan Japanese food shop. Anyway, it's kind. A shop of memories. He served me some delicious curry as my wife and I were feeling a little homesick.

Customers beware. I do not think everything is vegan. My child with food allergies to eggs and dairy had a reaction here.

Very tasty Caribbean vegan food. Recommended.

A very cozy place and where the menu is quite original (vegan Japanese-Jamaican fusion). Typical Amsterdam prices and acceptable quality (this happens sometimes with vegan food if there is something already prepared). The teas made by them are highly recommended. Good place.

Very touching, lovely restaurant. I would have liked to give a higher rating, but the food (except for the good cassava fries) really tasted like nothing. Very unfortunate.

Dirty sticky table, it was very quiet but the staff took a long time to come out of the kitchen, also before he came to take the order, burger with sweet potato fries, the last one was greasy and not tasty, much later the burger came, hmmmmm not tasty food desired very much impersonal, not even asked afterwards if you enjoyed it, so first time and last time!

Excellent vegetarian meal, very complete in terms of flavor spectrum, feel, proteins and green leaves. Highly recommended.

Super rich. Tasty, good portions

The food was really delicious. Each ingredient goes well together. The service wasn’t so fast. We had to wait to order and then wait quite a while more for the food.

It was just incredibly delicious. Be sure to try “vegan lust”! Would come here again for this restaurant ♥️🌱

Opening times aren’t correct for Sunday. We stood in front of a closed restaurant

Terrazen Centre, within a 6min walk from the central station, might be my favourite restaurant of all time. Entering the small building, the colourful furniture and wall decorations as well as the rocksteady music vibes from the disco model JBL speaker already promise you a laidback and vibrant experience. The friendly staff fits the atmosphere well, meaning that you might have to wait a little longer to order or to get your drinks, but Terrazen is not meant to be experienced in a rush or impatient mood. The chalkboard or clipboard menu offers a wide range of exciting Japanese or Jamaican inspired dishes that are impossible to experience in one visit. The ramen I ordered here the first time is unmatched, I haven't found any other ramen in other establishments that was as flavourful as this one. Unfortunately it was always unavailable during my next few visits. Which on the other hand is a good thing, otherwise I would have never tried their dragon sushi roll, Jamaican plate, crispy roti roll or okonomiyaki. Piece by piece exquisite dishes that you have to come back for. One notably good side dish is the jackfruit karaage, which makes you yearn for more. Even though the food is high in greasy or fried ingredients, it is a journey of flavours and textures unlikely to find in other places. If you are looking for a sophisticated and luxurious dining experience with a quick and skilful service you should save that for another time and instead go for this low-key, but vibrant and inspiriting experience that is a guaranteed pleasure for your tastebuds.

First saw them on TV or something. A Jamaican guy and his Japanese wife open a vegan restaurant in Amsterdam? This was one of the first places I wanted to visit, and it did not disappoint!! It's small, it's a family affair, and it is an absolute gem! I'm just gonna post pics of their menu. Pictured is the Gyoza plate, and I got the Jamaican plate to go.

Hosts are great, very chill atmosphere, food was delicious (had a spicy- sweet “chicken” with rice and vegetables), and coconut milkshake. Servings are great, and I eat a lot. Only downside is that the place is really small (as most of the places in Amsterdam), but luckily we sat outside 😁

Laid back. Pleasant ambience. Delicious varied food. Friendly service

The best place I ate in the Netherlands, can not recommend enough! The roti wrap is incredible!!

Price performance does not match at all!!

Delicious food, plenty of choices, all of them sounded delicious. We had Jamaican curry and the vegan plate. Sadly they don't serve desserts anymore, but we were happy nonetheless. The staff was very friendly although it was packed. The place is small and looks more like an Imbiss. We are crazy hungry people, so the portions could have been bigger, but we would go back anytime! Thanks for having us

Probably Amsterdam's best restaurant. One of a kind food. Maybe not to everyone's taste, but definitely different from the boring sandwiches that are sold all around in cafés

Service not so hot but food was good

Friendly service and delicious food. We enjoyed a gourmet tempeh burger with terra fries, and a tasty seaweed salad with tofu. Also had the green lattes.

Enjoyed the Jamaican plate. Healthy and nutritious feed at a reasonable price. Groovy vibes in the restaurant with reggae music playing. It's a bit of a hole in the wall with hand painted art on the walls - love it! Service was slow - the waiter was a bit inefficient. But food came out fairly quick. Cash only.

fully vegan kitchen!!! absolutely DELICIOUS VEGAN FOOD!!! i had the veggie lust (bc i HAD to try a bit of everything) this jap-caribbean fusion food is A BOP!!! as a veg- i love seeing how the world gets creative w vegan food!!! i took the first bite and really said ‘wow’- also the ppl that work there are absolutely beautiful humans!! so kind, sweet and caring! the food brought, ‘a glow to me’ :) MUST TRY

A disappointing experience in every way (we are vegan). We had the vegan lust and the dragonroll. Basically just tasteless fried stuff. The setting of the restaurant…. It's almost a shame. The cards are ten years old, they are torn, creased, stained and above all no longer up to date (some dishes are crossed out with a pen!). I don't understand the ratings from customers who gave very good reviews of this restaurant. For my part, I do not recommend it, there are much better vegan restaurants in Amsterdam.

A small culinary highlight of my Amsterdam trip. The staff could have been a bit more motivated, but the food was great! An absolute insider tip :)

Saw this place on youtube and was dissapointed. The waitress seemed so blasted out of this galaxy so high, really low energy and not the "happy vibes" that owner mentioned in the video. As he came to order i clearly mentioned i wanted the "Ramen" there was a chalkboard and it had the menu selection written up. Apparently they didnt have Ramen, he never indicated that nor did he ask if i wanted to order any food as my friend had ordered the jamaican plate (which tasted great) and drinks, his order came and he had already finished his food, other guests had been served and then the waitress asked "have you ordered anything"? He seemed so high which is fitting for a jamaican restaurant but i was frustrated by the situation and in a rushed mood i just asked for something which was not to my liking but i assume the dish was well made. It was the tokonomiyaki and maybe i should have asked some questions but service seemed incapable of doing the simplest host service and i found out its extremely sweet. In hindsight i shouldve ordered the jamaican plate but we wanted to share our dishes but my friend was hungry and finished his dish, wanting to try something new i didnt wanna order the same. Prices were fair

The one star reviews almost scared me away. I’m glad they didn’t. I had the Jamaican plate and it was delicious. I ate here many years ago and was happy to see that it was still around during my most recent visit. Note: the staff can get a bit overwhelmed, it seemed like there were only two people working and about a dozen customers, so prepare to wait a bit

Probably the best vegan food in Amsterdam. If you're vegan and you're visting Amsterdam and reading this, you HAVE to come here. Come here even if you're not. The decor and things are a little dated. They are super nice, but ordering and service is a little relaxed. But don't let that dissaude you.

Unique menu, everything vegan, which is great. Tons of different kinds of dishes. Service could be a bit faster but that’s no dealbreaker.

This was a great vegan find. The food was delicious and the owner was so friendly, funny and kind. Will 100% be coming here every time I visit Amsterdam. Highly recommend!

When ordering, we asked the waiter for details about the food and drinks. He told us he was new and didn't know. We asked him what Fritz Soda was, he didn't know. He told us he had some diet coke left. So we ordered two from him, and he served us two coconuts. We told him that was not what we ordered. He told us yes, and that we were going to have to pay them even though we hadn't touched them. We told him we didn't want to pay for something we didn't ask for. He brought the coconuts back to the kitchen, and another waiter came to tell us that the chef refused to serve us and that we had to leave. A word of advice: teach your servers to know their job and the products you offer!

Pretty basic in terms of decor and atmosphere but the food and service was great. I didn’t think Jamaican and Japanese cuisine would mix so well. Would definitely eat here again.

Cozy, pleasant and with delicious vegan food. Highly recommended!

The food was incredible but we received our drinks long after we finished our food. I recommend to go because the food deserves it, just keep in mind they are a bit distracted

Surprisingly delicious food and not too expensive. The music was really reggae, but as long as you know in advance that this is part of it, you will have really good food and a nice experience.

Indescriptiblemente increíble comida, platos masivos, precio - a - calidad (y cantidad) vale la pena. Volveré a visitar Amsterdam únicamente para experimentar TerraZen de nuevo. 10 / 10 recomendaría y esto viene de alguien que no es vegano.

Excellent vegan fare. Very nice staff and great portions.

It's a very small place so I was lucky to find room for 2. Cozy atmosphere; helpful, jovial and polite staff. The food offered is good.

The opening times donot match. The restaurant is closed

What a great place to get your nourishment! Very welcoming and with a truly unique menu. The best blend on Ital Japanese cuisines. 100% vegan. 100% delicious! We ate to the sweet sounds of Ansel Collins' Nuclear Weapon and the legendary Toots Hibbert. Very recommended! Irie.

Really great vegan restaurant. Diverse dishes and a cozy space. Would definitely recommend this place!

Super delicious food, I can only recommend it. A bit expensive unfortunately

Well it was good, but not at all extraordinary compared to its reviews, also the portion was small for a proper meal

Food is amazing but sitting is too tight.

Also I threw my take out food away I didnt even eat it smelled rotten

Super delicious food! Fast service, friendly staff

favortite restaurant in amsterdam

Absolute must have! Delicious vegan food and cute jamaican atmosphere. We‘re only here for 3 days and are thinking about going again tomorrow!

Very delicious food, I highly recommend Sandwich❤️🤤

Food was good, although some options weren't available. The waiters did not understand that we didn't want spicy sauce in our wrap and did it again spicy. But all in all good enough.

Delicious food .. Caribbean Japanese vegan food .. unique! Lovely vibe.

I’m not vegetarian and this food was excellent. We arrived at 7:15pm and it was empty but by the time we left there was a queue. It’s great.

A lovely small vegan restaurant with some delicious dishes. Staff was friendly and we got our food and drinks fast. We had the Jamaican Plate, the Ital Vital Plate, Cassava fries, Plantain Fries, 2x Mango Juice, Coconut Milkshake and a Ginger Beer for a total of €75. I found the portion sizes of the main courses to be pretty big! But in a good way, love a good full plate of soul food. Everything tasted delicious, the only thing i’d say is the plantain fries were pretty simple. But we had a great dinner.

Tastes good here! Quite expensive, as is unfortunately the case everywhere in Amsterdam. But the taste is really very good. Many dishes that you rarely see in vegan restaurants. Yummy!

Amazingly good. Exceeded my expectations. I ordered the lust Vegan with a side of spring rolls. My friend ordered the Jamaican Plate. We sampled each other foods and everything was delicious. Perfect seasonings, perfect flavors and texture. The star of my lust vegan plate was the vegan bacon. Now I know I haven’t had real bacon in about 3 years but to me this vegan bacon was spot on. I brought me back to what bacon use to taste like. Anyways, I digress but this place is spectacular and you’re going to love it , I promise .

Excellent vegan food, very tasty 💖 Beautiful vibes and very nice staff!

Really enjoyed the food. Booked a table to eat on Friday evening, glad I did as the restaurant was full. The vegan lust plate I had was excellent, my friend had the Jamaican plate and really enjoyed it and said it was the best vegan food he had ever tried (and isn't a vegan) I will definitely return when next in the city 🙂

I don't recommend this restaurant, the plates are not well washed, after I eat there once I had a very bad stomach problem and diarrhea.

Went there everyday, Best vegan food in Amsterdam

Portions are a bit small but worth every cent. I would recommend several dishes to share so you miss less!

Brilliant place! They are so friendly and accommodating, the food is amazing, the prices are decent and the vibe is so cozy. We always bring our visitors here and it has never disappointed us!

Good place for vegans with an impressive menu with lots of options and good service. Food came in good time and was really tasty. Really decent sized portion as well.

What a great little place! Decided to come here after seeing their feature on Vice. Food was simple — neither of us are vegan and a lot of the fried components tasted very similar but it was all tasty, comforting and wholesome at the same time. Service was very friendly and would definitely come back to try their sushi.

This was one of the best vegan chicken I had. Soooo crispy and delicious. Would recommend eating here!! Only con: the price and the sizes of the food. I had to get dessert to be full 😅

Very tasty food and nicely presented, prices and service also very good :-)

The food was very tasty, although the portions were a bit small, but the price was okay for Amsterdam. Only the service was very bad: we sat at a table for four, had made reservations for two people and were then asked if more people could sit with us. Since everything was quite cramped, we clearly said no. A short time later the waiter came to our table with a guest who he simply sat down next to us. That was really annoying!

Received wrong order, forgot drink.

Delicious and healthy food made with love and care.

Best Vegan Restaurant in TOWN ❤️

Tastes like home-food. The portion size and pricing was good. We enjoyed the culinair mix.

Tonight we had an amazing Jamaican plate, avocado salade, sweet potatoes and chai! It was unforgetable! The main cook, lovely Japanese lady-coowner is back in the kitchen, special touch all over the place! We hope she will stay there, it was 10+. Also a service was great, (guys were friendly and fast), especially a Hungarian lady, made us feel like at home. The best Dub RootsReggae music in town coming from the speakers as well. Paintings on the wall also special. Animal friendly place, we had a dog with us, immediately water served (sorry for the mess!). Magic place and food! Vegan Paradise, indeed.

Very nice restaurant! Accommodating and kind staff, with our large group of people :) great food and nice atmosphere.

Super tasty and healthy food in a very authentic and simple restaurant. I'll come back for sure!

It was wonderful. Nothing to say just a cute place to eat !

Popped in on a Saturday evening. And we were lucky that there was a table free. I had the Jamaican plate. Full of wonderful flavor!
