There is a serious amount of Surinam-Indian-Chinese take-away shops in Rotterdam. Fast food, but with healthy options, so as legendary Saoto soup. This place serves Indian dishes too and is ridiculously cheap. Friendly people. (West-Kruiskade hosts a whole range of Surinam eating places.)

Tiny restaurant with delicious simple dishes for a budget. Wood over pizzas, lasagna, Italian stuff. No alcohol. A more fancy neighbourhood option is Mevrouw Meijer (make reservation) or Tosca.

Lots of food in old industrial area. Hipster as hell, but hey.. there's a nice waterside view and good middle eastern food (and more). On the other side it borders to cute Deliplein with a whole range of restaurants. Cafe Ouwehoer is worth a visit!

Not many people know this place, unless you are Eritrean. It says GEZANA on the entrance door. Yes you are welcome there, just go, really! It's a very local neighbourhood hangout that serves DELICIOUS Eritrean food. Incredibly cheap too.

Neighbourhood karaoke. Crowded, people drinking shots, colourful audience. Be early if you want to sing because the cue grows rapidly.

Possibly the pretiest park in town. Nice lunch villa (Parqiet), of course Euromast for superb views, and Villa Parkzicht: now hosting a trashy chique restaurant (Harbour club) but it used to be the birth place of Rotterdam House in the 90's!
