I got the Vegetarian Rice Wrap with Ginger dressing and the Chicken Curry Krokets with a dill yogurt dip. The Rice Wrap was dry and over stuffed with rice noodles. The ginger dressing tasted more like a Wishbone fat free Italian dressing. Not worth $6.95. Whole foods has a much better rice wrap for cheaper. The Chicken Curry Kroket was a liquid curry mystery mush encased in a deep fried breaded shell. Not the tastiest. Sorry Danku! It just wasn’t as exciting as I expected.

The chicken curry kroket was ok. The noodles and satay were vile. It’s like paying for bad airline food.

hey dutch girl, chill out. it’s generally admirable for people to try out new things, even if it involves salmon in a kroket.

I am originally from Indonesia, been in USA forever, my parents speak Dutch & I grew up on kroketjies. I agree with dutch girl, we use mustard as dipping sauce! But then again you use mayo on ur FFries (yuck). Guess we must go to the automat in Leidesastraat (A’dam) for the real stuff. RT

you idiots. the original DUTCH kroket is to be eaten with mustard, not some fancy dipping sauce. also, in holland they only have ONE filling..salmon in your kroket? yuck!

And where are the bitterballen?

Pretty disappointed that they didn’t have Mac’nCheese. I got the chile con carne and curry chicken, also salad with garden balsamic dressing.

The croquets were OK flavor wise, nothing terribly bad or good. The texture leaves a lot to be desired though. Both croquets were really mushy inside, especially the chicken curry. Imagine hot wheat paste. I’m having a hard time wanting to try them again.

The salad is fresh and has nice ingredients, but the dressing gross in a weird textural way again. It’s slimy. Not oily or watery, but just slimy. Flavor is very weak too.

I’m willing to go back and try some other items, but I have a feeling the Dutch are going to have to tweak a lot of the recipes to truly appeal to American palates.

After a long weekend on gorging on turkey and stuffing I opted to go green. Had the veggie panini, not bad. The parmesan cheese gave it a nice kick. The veggies were fresh but only red and green peppers; was hoping for a bit more variety. The bread held up very well. Must try the krokets next time.

Doc, I’ll be thinking of you as well.

@ flatrock i personally would like to get 2 meals out of an 8.13 lunch, and there’s no possible way to make 2 meals out of the combo, but it was filling for 1 meal… i agree w/ dylan, the best surprise is the salad which was actually really good.. i had the chicken curry (which was good) and the beef (which is more of a traditional filling) and also really good… mac & cheese wasn’t included in the combo choices for some reason
