UFO%s (unidentifiable fried objects), rude dishwashers, cool atmosphere%. We asked some foreign students and staff to share their thoughts about eating lunch at Aula.

Aula’s a nice place to sit, but I don’t like the food. The sauces for warm meals are especially awful. Last week they served ‘Toscane soup’. It was the same tomato soup as always but now given an ‘exotic’ name. Surprisingly, the expresso’s excellent.

It’s difficult to tell what much of Aula’s food is made of, so I’d like English signs listing ingredients, like pork. For a Muslim, lunching at Aula is like playing Russian roulette. I do like the simplicity of Dutch food though, and the potatoes

Aula’s food sucks, the service sucks, and you have to wait too long. The atmosphere’s good, but what’s this schnitzel crap? We’ve got to get back to eating real meat! We need to see blood! Bring on the brains, lungs and intestines! Sure, you get large quantities here, but what about the goddamn quality?
Roberto Rocco (34), Brazil
The food’s ok, you get what you pay for. The TU’s international, multi-cultural, yet Aula offers no world cuisine. Why? The Dutch love Indonesian food, but they don’t even serve that here. I like Aula’s atmosphere, but some dishwashers are aggressive, shouting and trying to humiliate you if you put your dish in the wrong place. They don’t speak English, so you don’t even get the satisfaction of telling them to f%#k off!

I’m not impressed. What’s with these sandwiches? Bizarre combinations of cheese, corn, fruit, lettuce, meat%all in one roll. Belgian patat [french fries] is the best, thin and crispy. Aula’s french fries are fat, soft and tasteless, but at least they’re cheap.

Dutch food’s not as sweet as Ethiopian food, but more nutritious. In Ethiopia, we cook with natural ingredients. Here, the food’s a strange hybrid, it doesn’t taste very good, and it’s hard to identify the ingredients. I don’t eat pork, but who knows what’s in this [pointing at a brownish UFO]?
Dwight (30), Suriname
It’s typical Dutch snack-bar food. It sustains you, tastes okay, but should be cheaper. We’re students, so why does Aula charge fl.1.20 for a half-liter of milk when the same half-liter sells for 85 cents in the supermarket? Aula’s a cool place to eat, though.
Jason Lim (34), Indonesia
I usually eat warm meals at lunch, but Aula’s are too expensive. So instead, I tried eating Aula’s sandwiches, but after a week I felt like puking, so now I bring food from home and buy drinks. The yogurt is good, but I miss rice, vegetables, seafood.
