Roopram Roti Surinamese Food

Finally, some delicious and cheap food in Amsterdam! I know I just wrote about how bad the food is in this city but this place rules! Roopram is a Surinamese cafe located between Oosterpark and Dappermarkt. From what I can tell, Surinamese food is very similar to Indian cuisine. Lots of spicy meat and vegetarian dishes accompanied with roti. Prices range between 4 to 8 euros and the food is delicious. It is so popular among the Surinamese locals that there is almost always a huge line, sometimes coming out the door. The first time I tried t eat there I was turned away because they ran out of food! Don’t get discouraged by the line because they have very fast service. I’ve tried a few other Surinamese restaurants in the hood and this one is by far the tastiest.

Hours: Tues-Sat 14.00 -21.00, Sun 15.00-21.00, closed Mon.

Location: Eerste van Swindenstraat 4 1093 GC Amsterdam

Burger Meester

Burger Meester is not only unbelievably delicious but available at three different locations throughout the city and easy on the wallet (a feat here in Amsterdam). You can order a regular sized burger or a ‘mini’ for half the price, and the menu ranges from Lamb to Tuna and Pumpkin patties.

Having sampled the ‘Mini Trio’ for €10.50, I can confidently recommend the FetaBurger, Meester Biefburger and a PompoenBurger (pumpkin). Or if you’re opting for a healthy route, try their “Burger as a Main” where the burger patty can be served with a salad and no bun for €2 extra.

Check their addresses here, to find the closest one to home.
