Try New Draver, the Oost restaurant where Amsterdam goes for Surinamese cooking. Tuck into roti or tender roast chicken with fried rice in a relaxed, local setting.
Full description
New Draver is a Surinamese restaurant in Amsterdam-Oost that locals treat as an institution, with one reviewer noting it was already the place for a good creole meal more than 20 years ago. Visitors point to the roti and to roast chicken with fried rice, describing the chicken as very tender and the flavours as authentic.
Service is repeatedly called excellent. It opens from mid-afternoon until late, which suits an early dinner after a day out, and its mid-range prices and 4.4 rating make it an easy way to try Surinamese food for the first time.

Reviews
People are really nice and feels like a down to earth non hipsters/gentrified. Serves mainly as a gathering place for the Surinamese community but everybody is welcome to try their delicious home made food.
