SLA — Restaurant in Amsterdam

The food is delicious, the pallet of different tastes found in one bowl of salad is amazing. Would definitely recommend this, there is also a loyalty program with which you collect points for every euro spend, by 100 points you get a €7,50 discount on the purchase. The women behind the counter were very friendly, Unfortunately on the time of my visit the place was near empty, so while very relaxing the atmosphere was hard to determine, however the visuals atmosphere makes this a calm establishment. With multiple restaurants around Amsterdam surely i walk in another one sooner rather than later. I tried "The Killer salad" which was spicy 🔥 they use a meat substitute called seitan:

What is the meat substitute seitan short explanation

Seitan is a high-protein, plant-based meat substitute made primarily from vital wheat gluten, which is the main protein found in wheat. By washing wheat flour dough with water, the starch is removed, leaving behind the elastic, protein-rich gluten, which is then cooked to create a dense, chewy product with a texture similar to meat.

Seitan is popular among vegetarians and vegans because of its realistic, meat-like texture and its ability to absorb flavors from seasonings and sauces. It is often used in a variety of dishes as a replacement for chicken, beef, or pork, and is sometimes called “wheat meat” or “wheat gluten” . However, because seitan is made from wheat gluten, it is not suitable for people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.

This business is...

The food here was great and there’s a wide range of options. However, when I went in the other day, I had to wait 15 minutes to order and then when I did order, I waited an hour for a banana smoothie which never showed up. I felt sorry for the staff working here as they were clearly run off their feet. One poor staff member was running back and forth from the kitchen to grab ingredients while a queue of people formed running outside the door. The only other staff member working there was clearly new. As I said, I felt sorry for them as I’m not sure whether there were staffing issues and some people had not shown up to work. After waiting an hour for the smoothie, I could not catch the staff’s attention (because everyone else waiting was trying to also), so I left. A disappointing experience, which was a shame, because the food I did receive (hot Mexicana wrap)...

I am extremely disappointed by the careless staff who made the salad today. I was here twice. My first experience, which was two weeks ago was great. The salad was great, and the ingredients were of high quality. Based on my first experience, I went to have a salad again today. I ordered a spicy tofurama, and half of the ingredients on the menu were not on the salad. There was no avacado, no peanuts, and a host of other ingredients were also missing. Unfortunately, I did not notice until I took it to the table to eat. On top of this, the lady billed me EUR 29 by mistake. I fortunately checked it, and a more experienced staff came to assist me. It is sad that a good place with good ingredients has such terrible, careless and inexperienced staff. I ended up not eating the entire salad. I will not return to this...
