Why us

Catering that sticks with you.

A box of sandwiches is easy to arrange. Catering that guests still talk about three weeks later, that is a different story. We bring eight toppings from around the world on one Dutch classic, delivered warm, always halal, always fresh.

"We work in the shop ourselves and watch over the flavour and quality of every catering job, every day."

- Koen & Rob

8 countries, 1 sandwich

From the classic Amsterdammertje to Tokyo Crunch and Seoul Sensation.

Fully halal

Our entire menu is halal, with a vegan ball that scores surprisingly well.

Made fresh

Every morning in the shop. Fries from Frites Uit Zuyd, cheese from Old Amsterdam.

More than meatball

Other sandwiches on the menu too, like Mature / Young cheese, chicken and pastrami.

Vegan & salads

For those who do not want the meatball: vegan sandwiches and fresh salads on the menu.

“Hele goede service door de mede-eigenaar, lekker eten! Vooral de truffle fries niet vergeten te bestellen. Werkt ook erg hygiënisch!”

“Los van een lekker goed belegd broodje had je ook vriendelijk personeel. Top plekje om te zitten.”
Olivier van der Eijk

“These words come straight from my sincere heart: This is the best meatball sandwich I have ever tasted. I highly recommend everyone to try this place. It is an absolute feast for the taste buds. The bread is warm, crispy yet tender. The meatballs are flavorful and juicy. The fresh greens balance out the richness perfectly. Every detail is just perfect — healthy and utterly delicious. The bar is neat and hygienic. You can witness the whole sandwich-making process, which is really reassuring, and all ingredients are fresh and premium. The service is impeccable. Their warm smiles are friendly and heartwarming. Even though my Dutch is not fluent, I was never treated differently. They welcome every guest with sincere kindness. Their TikTok content is unique and entertaining, and I use it to practice my Dutch. Besides, they also take group orders. I’ve genuinely fallen in love with MEET THE BALLS.”
