I was so glad to find an all-vegan Surinamese restaurant in the city! It's a rotating menu with healthy, delicious comfort food. I absolutely loved the jerk-seasoned aubergine, picked veggies, and plantains. The spicy sauce is one of the best I've had.... can't wait to come other days of the week and try out new flavors. The restaurant is owned and operated by a really friendly and sweet woman.

The food was VERY tasty and the prices were also good. The staff was extremely kind and answered all of our questions, especially the lady was lovely and talked to us about interesting things. The restaurant itself is very cozy and sweet and the toilets were clean. It was my first time eating surinamese and it was definitely a good decision to go here.

If you are plant-based (or not), you better not miss out on this gem! I'll just let the photos tell you the story! What's great is, the menu changes daily so you have an excuse to come more than once! Unless you live here then you should come weekly!

My first experience with Surinamese food and I was not disappointed. I ordered the POM PATTY SRANAN BOWL and it was delicious. The atmosphere was nice with friendly hosts. It was on the expensive side but I guess these are the prices in this area. I would definitely recommend this place for quality vegan food.

A fabulous find in De Pijp! Plant-based Surinamese food with an explosion of flavours - tangy, sweet, creamy, a bite of chilly…yumm! Highly recommended!! (But better to reserve, this cozy restaurant seats about 20 total on 10 configurable tables…

We loved the Old Soul! The waiters and the chef are all great and very welcoming 😍 we felt right at home and the food was certainly made with lots of love and was delicious 😋 No additives or BS and Whole Foods plant based which we love! We went to the old soul twice during our week stay in Amsterdam! Please go and support this wonderful restaurant and enjoy the delicious food.

Delicious vegan Surinamese food. We came here for lunch and had the roti and mixed rice with aubergine, fried plantain, okra, and pickled red onion and cucumber. Also had a glass of very nice homemade ginger beer. Friendly service. Fresh ingredients and felt wholesome and healthy. Recommended!

Delicious fresh food that has been prepared with love. Menu changes every day. Nice informal place, good music and friendly people. Definitely recommend it.

This is all vegan restaurant. I really like the food..only thing is its a bit pricey, just three small tempeh of 8 euros. so i had to go for another one closeby

Very fresh salad (with bitter melon!!) and other yummy vegan dishes. Very friendly staff and low key atmosphere. It's a nice haven for traveling vegans (and non-vegans what to detox a bit).

Solidly good, well crafted flavours. Absolutely worth a visit. Lovely hospitality too, with the Chef coming out and caring enough to chat and engage with the customers (and with an atmosphere like she meant it, not like it was part of the show).

Not clean, the place doesn’t look professional, too expensive for what they serve (especially the main courses), “homemade” stuff that weren’t homemade, uninterested waiter with no front of house skills, not the best ambience and a very bad menu map when it comes to appearances. And we heard the same 4 songs in a loop for about 8 times. We’ve been to a lot of vegan restaurants, with a lot of gratitude, but this was really uncomfortable. The taste of the food was ok, but it wasn’t worth it.

The first time was great. It was on a Sunday. The owner served me personally and everything went well. I ordered pom first and dumplings as well. The second time was on a Saturday evening. The owner left when we came in as a group. We had reserved for six. We had asked for okra soup about a week in advance. It was not on the menu. All salads were sold out. Which I regretted, because that is one of the few things I can eat. Most of the desserts were sold out as well. There was only one piece of apple pie left. They had to share it. The waiters got all confused and made mistakes. This was a great disappointment. Something that wasn't ordered, was on the bill. We found out afterwards. I was ashamed because I was the one who had recommended the restaurant to my relatives. They loved the food and the atmosphere, but were not pleased about the above mentioned matters.

We all enjoyed our first Old Soul dining experience, coming all the way from Cleveland, Ohio and Chicago. The restaurant offers great ambience, exceptional food, and top notch staff. The Old Soul sets the bar high for other Surinamese restaurants. Get some cassava fries to share with the table!

I live nearby and once I saw the Old Soul open, couldn’t wait try the food. I’m not vegan but I have many friends who are, and so I always delight at finding ways to share great, delicious food that makes us all happy. The Old Soul did that. We ordered take out this time and were delighted with the choices from the daily changing menu. Freshly prepared, full of flavour and good portions, presented beautifully. The small team at the restaurant were genuinely friendly and enthusiastic about their food. And handed us our take out with a smile. I am excited to eat at the Old Soul again and will definitely stop by to dine in next time. Welcome to the neighbourhood!

Great Surinamese food and experience - it’s low key, food excellent and surprising dishes made from healthy options, warm service!

Tasty food, nice staff. Vegan Surinamese was a great new experience for us.

The best vegan food I can remember having.. the spices are so good and the plantain dish with red cabbage!!! So yum. 🤤 Can’t wait to come here again and try something else on the menu! Also fun that they have a different set of options for every day… means I will need to come a different day every time 😁

Absolutely mouth watering food! Such a cute place, the food and the vibe is so authentic!! The people were so nice, even on a packed Saturday night without reservations they managed to find us a spot. Would recommend anything on their menu! 10/10

Cute decoration, lovely music and delicious food! Great for Vegans/Vegetarians but basically for everybody. Price value is very good and the staff is nice! I'll come again (:

Absolutely fantastic food, service and ambiance! Menu changes daily and only offers a couple of dishes each day. Everything was really tasty, fresh and well balanced. The people working were absolutely lovely and offered recommendations. You can tell they put a lot of effort into doing up the place nicely and it totally payed off. Would go again any time!

Cozy restaurant with very good food. Main dishes change daily and offers a nice variety. My personal favorites are the tempeh sate, roti and cassava soup. Also the chef/ owner is very friendly and passionate. I really recommend this restaurant even if you’re not vegan :))

Wow! One of my favorite vegan places in Amsterdam. Fun owner and great Caribbean / Surinamese food.

What a delicious and loving food! The chefs prepare food like a grandma that knows how to cook magically would do. You can see their utensils, pans and pots full of flavors and gorgeous smells. The ingredients are healthy as it could be, both for food and prepared drinks. I highly recommend this place to come and sit, takeaway or delivery. Congrats The Old Sould team. Lastly, great friendly service.

I would definitely recommend eating here for dinner. :) The staff is very friendly and helpful they were very careful with my food allergies. Everything is vegan. I like that there are just a few menu options for the main course (12-18€) that change daily. I find that very interesting and support their idea of minimizing food waste. The food was just delicious! Different textures and intense flavors and veggies. Plus, the place is very beautiful inside and outside. It was a good experience I would recommend to have. :)

The restaurant is owned by a woman, and both she and the waitress who served us were very, very kind. We had caught cold from the rain, and we went to have a warm soup there. It was very good. It's not the cheapest, but we liked it a lot. We will come back for sure.

I had never eaten Surinamese food before and because we did not know what was on the menu we were tempted to leave but we stayed. And I am so glad we did. It was AMAZING! Everything we had was well seasoned and prepared with care. There are menus set for each day of the week. It is a small female owned place. The chef/owner is lovely and her staff is sweet. Honestly, all the 5 star reviews are on point. If I lived here I would be a repeat customer.

The Old Soul is a lovely small restaurant a little outside the most touristic area of Amsterdam. The food is vegan. My partner and I shared a lot of food (I can't recall the dishes 😅) but all the food was excellent. The service was very friendly and the decor make the place feel cozy.

Hello everyone! Today i had the luxury to eat at the old soul. And Boy was it a good experience! As soon as we came in the atmosphere was very nice the owners of the place were also very nice to talk with and helpful. They had Surinamese music playing for a chill vibe. They know a lot about a plant based lifestyle and it shows in their cooking! As a starter we had the Surinamese dumplings they were amazing! Very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We also had the Casava Batjauw Jack and it was just as tasty. really enjoyed it The drink i chose was the soursop smoothie it was so good really enjoy Soursopp and it is a little hard to find in the Netherlands As a main dish we had the Abaku moksi alesi. Really had a good plate with soft and sweet plantain and instead of tofu (we don’t consume soy) the owners offered Pom to go with it wich was very nice! For dessert i had the Bojo. This one was tasty too. If you want to eat Surinamese and or Plant Based. Definitely check them out! Thank you The Old Soul And to the people who read this and wanna swing by Enjoy!!!
