Roots

Roots on Hoekenrode in the Bijlmer ArenA area (southeast Amsterdam) is a spacious neighborhood shop with a pool table and a menu that includes a notable Cali selection alongside solid Dutch fare. The interior is comfortable with a welcoming local atmosphere. The pool table draws regular players. The Cali menu section is a differentiator for a shop in this area — most southeast Amsterdam shops focus on budget flower. Roots is an important geographic reference for Dam Guide's Bijlmer/ArenA coverage, particularly for visitors attending events at the Johan Cruijff ArenA or Ziggo Dome.
