About us

Welcome to Meat The Balls, Amsterdam’s ultimate Broodje Bal Deluxe destination.

 

We serve artisanal halal broodje bal—a true Dutch classic—bringing back the rich, nostalgic flavor of traditional meatballs, combined with a modern twist. Our meatballs are the heart of every dish and are freshly prepared using high-quality ingredients.

 

A broodje bal is a beloved comfort food in the Netherlands: a freshly baked bread roll filled with a large, juicy meatball, typically served warm and topped with sauces like mustard, satay sauce, or gravy. Simple, hearty, and full of flavor, it’s a staple you’ll find across the country—reimagined here at Meat The Balls with extra care and creativity.

 

Create your perfect sandwich with a variety of flavorful toppings or choose one of our generously filled signature sandwiches. Everything is prepared fresh daily in our open kitchen, where quality always comes first.

 

Founders Koen and Rob are hands-on in the shop every day, personally ensuring the taste and quality of every product. Their mission: to bring Amsterdam a true meatball specialty experience.
