It has been my go-to roti takeout spot for years. In recent months, the food seems to have changed; the vegetarian roti, which was normally truly fantastic, is unfortunately no longer what it used to be.
My experience here was terrible. Extremely dirty. Dirty coffee machine. Please do not buy coffee here. And their salespeople are extraordinarily rude and unkempt.
You sit down and order your food via the QR code at the table. The price is exorbitant, even though the quality is actually quite good.
We had to wait nearly three quarters of an hour for our food in a semi-busy restaurant, while people arriving later get their orders sooner.
You don't get cutlery with your food; you have to figure that out yourself. There is cutlery in the tray (5 knives and 1 fork), but it isn't clean. I really should have the NVWA (Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority) come by here...
The atmosphere is mediocre. Not worth the effort.
If you are visiting Blijdorp, definitely do not eat here. It is really not worth the money.
We recently ordered a 4-course meal for 5 people here for over €150.
The first thing we noticed was that we didn't receive any instructions on how to heat everything.
We also received a "strip" of potato gratin or something similar, which didn't have any instructions, but was completely cold and probably needed to be reheated. It wasn't clear which dish it belonged to.
We also missed the prawn crackers with the satay and spring vegetables, which were supposed to be served with the pork tenderloin and salmon.
We did receive a container of "Beurre Blanc," which, according to the menu on the website, was supposed to be served with the sea bass, but we hadn't ordered sea bass.
Finally, we heated the main courses in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes, as instructed on the lid.
Unfortunately, it turned out that while we were eating it, the salmon, the satay, and the Villa burger were undercooked: see photos.
After we reported our complaints to the restaurant, it seemed we would be very well compensated. We would be able to place another order, and everything would be taken care of down to the last detail. We thought, "Great and very neat."
But alas: Only after placing our new order were we suddenly told that we would still have to pay €12.50 per person upon picking up our order. A strange turn of events...
This was truly the last time we ever ate at Villa Velperweg.
I regularly order and always ask for it without sauce due to my allergy. Nine times out of ten, this request is ignored, and I have to throw my meal straight in the trash after delivery.
I've come back here after a year to see if they changed. Nope. We ordered chicken and cheese tteokbokki and honey butter lemon chicken. The chicken is still a disappointment, it tasted old and unseasoned. It wasnt crunchy and definitely not korean-style.
Although, the service is great. This restaurant needs to have a new menu tasting because the food is not great at all. They need to revamp their chicken recipe.
This location is very beautiful and calm in the middle of the woods. The waitresses were very nice. But the vibe was off. For such a nature loving place, the decor is full of taxidermy animals, and the main crowed of this place seems to be elderly people. The food was okay, greasy, and expensive for what it is. Good if you are just hungry and need a quick stop, but wouldn’t return here for the food.
