SLA

Spicy Tofurama with tempe was one of the best vegan meals I’ve had in my life. Portion was also very big and honestly I would have paid 25€ for this but it was only 15€. Highly recommend at least this dish.

A fabulous discovery! Healthy organic food in a quiet location, centrally located. Seating available, toilets and atmospheric music. Super tasty food and fast service. Perfect place to refresh and recharge!

Wow taste in this nice, fresh eatery located at edge of central Amsterdam. Portions are huge but the light fresh ingredients makes it easy to eat and digest. Staff was friendly and interiors simple and stylish in line with the minimalistic norther style.

This was a really hardy dinner, one that felt very healthy and fulfilling. The ingredients seemed to be great quality although they were a bit cold—I’m guessing they had been out for a while so they didn’t taste the freshest. Granted, I went an hour or two before they closed. I still think expectations of freshness can be upheld until closing though. While it was a good dinner, I wasn’t too obsessed with the flavor of the bowl, maybe it could have used a unifying sauce/dressing to make it feel like an actual salad. I appreciated the big menu and lots of both vegetarian and vegan options. For meat eaters, it seemed really easy to supplement the plant protein for chicken if that’s your vibe.

Beautiful fresh salads and super big servings. I ordered the green bowl with Tofu.

I ordered a wrap to take away for lunch. I ordered the Mexican wrap, although without jalapeños, adding chicken. It was rich, and tasty. The size is large and it is more than enough for a lunch.

I really wanted to enjoy my visit, but unfortunately the experience fell short in several areas. One staff member was visibly unwell - constantly sniffling, touching her face and nose, and then handling food and drinks without washing her hands, which felt quite off-putting, especially in a hospitality setting. Tables were left uncleared while multiple staff sat around chatting and snacking instead of attending to guests. It gave the impression that service just wasn’t a priority. On top of that, my salad had nut shells in it, the cutlery wasn’t clean, and the general atmosphere didn’t feel very hygienic. I hope this feedback is taken as constructive - the place has potential, but a sharper focus on hygiene, service, and attentiveness would make a big difference. Usually the experience here is good.

I was looking for healthy options during my visit to the city and I loved this place 💚 The food was super tasty, the quality of the salad (and the salted caramel ball) was excellent and I was feeling super full after lunch! Plus the staff was very friendly ☺️

SLA was an awesome discovery in Amsterdam (even though it felt a little funny eating a very San Francisco healthy-conscious customizable bowl while in a new European city). But it made me feel right at home in the best way. The veggies were well seasoned, the dressing was delicious and the tofu especially was heavenly, flavorful and textured to perfection with panko. Plus, their willingness to hold ingredients and replace them with others is super appreciated. The servers were helpful, careful in their prep, and super amenable to the changes I requested. I only dock a star for the ratios. Spinach and cucumber overwhelmed some of the more desirable fixings but it was still highly enjoyable.

Nice salad and healthy restaurant near by old town Amsterdam. Located not that far from flower market and red lights street. Service is good here.

Great casual spot for vegan wraps and bowls. You can either order preset wraps/bowls or make your own. Generally, wraps are €10 and bowls are €13. I got the green protein salad bowl and my wife got the killer kapsalon wrap. We were both very happy with our meals. The portions were good, we got lots of veggies, and the ingredients were fresh and good quality. Solid spot.

Me and my husband have been in Europe for a couple of weeks and have been eating pretty heavy stuff. We were so pleased to find this healthy salad bar. They have set dishes but since we don't eat fake meat (tofu) we chose the create your own option and used quinoa, boiled egg, rice and lentils to get some protein. So fresh and felt so good to eat something light and clean.

Really nice place where you can build your own salad. Perfect on a hot day. Loved the marinated cucumbers and panko crusted tofu!

After traveling for a week and eating junk and drinking I needed something good for my soul. This place was heaven. The service was great and I am still craving their soup of the day all the way from America!!

A healthy choice and would be really good, but my chicken salad was NOT good. So bland and just...not good. That's all I can say. Even my friend tried it and said I should ask for more dressing, but I was already over it. The almond latte was okay, but had to add a lot of sugar to it.

Super healthy,convenient,delicious. You need to be conscious of the environment while dining in. Also,clean after yourself.

SLA is my favorite thing about Amsterdam. I visit every time I'm in the city. Last time I was here in December, I had an amazing salad with parsnips, Parmesan, and sauerkraut. It was on their seasonal menu. I visited again this spring and wanted to recreate it, but they didn't have parsnips or leeks or sauerkraut. I was disappointed, but then I realized it is a GOOD thing they keep their ingredients so seasonal and fresh. That's why it's such great quality. I ended up building my own and it wasn't as great as their seasonal or signature salads. Always order one of their combinations. They're great!!

Quick, fresh, healthy, and affordable. Also the seating area is always clean and cute with hanging plants. I've been to two locations during this trip to Amsterdam, and both times I made a create-your-own salad for €8.50. It includes a salad base, a grain, three vegetables, a crunchy topping, and a dressing. The carrots, sweet potatoes with coconut, beets, and almonds/walnuts are all excellent. Be sure to ask for light dressing, or your salad will be doused in dressing!

I've only just discovered they opened up this little shop not too far from work! And I lovelovelove this little place! It's fast, it's delicious and has a giant menu on offer for anyone looking for something healthy (AND tasty). Raw, vegan, gluten free- something for everyone really! So even in the midst of (what this Aussie) considers below freezing temperatures, we ventured out for a salad and given they have a new menu for this season, it was definitely worth it! Two salads were had- the Japanese style black angus beef and the North Sea smoked mackerel! If you're after something full of fantastic flavour, get the beef! It also comes in a vegetarian friendly version with vegetarian beef! If you're after something a little lighter with sweet (dreaming of) spring flavours, get the mackerel! (My photo is a little deceptive.. the egg I got extra for that extra protein hit :P). I think I'll be back again later this week to try the other newbie salads so stay tuned for a review update!

Amazing restaurant in the Rembrandt square near Starbucks. Tons of options to create your own salad or bowl as well as options for salad ideas, toast, and hummus! Ended up coming here 3x on my trip cause it was so worth it. Didn't skimp on ingredients and very friendly staff.

As someone who's taken a few work trips to Amsterdam over the years, and someone who tries to avoid heavy/junk food as much as possible (it's so tempting when you're tired from travels), I adore SLA. I'm not sure there's a better place to get a quick, affordable green meal. I'm not vegan but most of their menu is and it's stunning. When you get sick of burgers, fries & mayo, pizza, etc., try a salad or healthy bowl here!

Excellent to go salad (see photocof salat with quinoa burger), plenty of everything and nice service at the place. They have a few seats outside too for eating in. Be adviced that they don't take cash.

Very friendly staff and very delicious salads! You can also create your own bowl. The price-quality ratio is good. It is not my last time in SLA!

Finally found a great place for salads. Build your own anyway you want. Just loved this place. The Staff were friendly and easy going. Decent prices. No cash. Cards only.

this place is dope. an oasis of healthy eating in a generally carb-heavy setting. you can make your own bowl with options for greens, grains, plenty of veggies, and veggie protein options like tempeh or falafel.

I had the raw vegan raspberry swirl cheesecake and it was beyond words good! And you get free cucumber lemon water! And kind staff!

Nice comfortable place where you order your salad and then seat yourself. The food was very attractive. I built my own salad and put chicken on it. The ras al hanout dressing was mild but good. The food was satisfying. One flaw was that the adzuki beans were undercooked.

SLA needs to come to New York! The salads are fresh and have delicious ingredients in them. Why don't we have this place in the United States? Let me think, the concept would not work. The place is about sitting down and enjoying a meal, New Yorkers are about quick and easy. While this place is quick, ordering is a challenge. That said, the buffalo mozzarella salad was delicious. I would never add lentils to a salad like that, but they made a great addition to the salad. I want the salad as I write this review!

Had the sushi bowl and it was absolutely phenomenal and rich in taste. Maybe the best salad bowl I've ever had. So filling and the sesame dressing was amazing. Very cool environment and spacious. Definitely check this place out if you want a cheap, healthy meal that will fill you up for hours.

Excellent healthy option in Rembrandtplein area. We ate lunch here yesterday, and liked it so much that we decided to have it again today! Very good salads and grain bowls.

This was the best build a bowl salad I've had in quite a while. US bowl restaurants could learn a thing or two about how to do it right from this wonderful place. Of course it was right next door to Hunters coffee shop so that made it even better.
