While visiting Amsterdam, I stumble upon this place. Being Persian and having Persian foods many…read moretimes and trying Mediterranean all over the Southern CA, I became curious to try this place since I have never had Syrian food and the place had a nice ambiance. The ambiance and the view is very nice and the sitting area is very warm and welcoming. The food is not that impressive, I ordered two dishes. A) The Rice dish: I enjoyed the rice dish as it had different spice than Persian rice or Indian rice. B) The combination Kabob platter: The ground beef and chicken were both dry but the taste were good and the beef fillet pieces were better than the chicken fillet and the ground beef. I was not too crazy about the Kabob platters. It was a unique experience because I never had Syrian food and I will probably try it once again.

Cute little place in Jordaan!…read more We ordered the falafels, hummus with roasted cauliflowers and the sampler - a trio of dips. Our favorite was the eggplant. All the food was delicious - so flavorful! The pitas that were served with the dishes were so soft and pillowy. Perfect compliment to the dips. Love all the dishes!

We would suggest if you haven't tried this-DO SO!!! We were in Amsterdam for two days and wanted…read moresomething "local" to try. Checked on YELP and this came up. Not ONLY was the food DELICIOUS but the price was right on the money! The owner even helped me pronounce the meatball word amd said I got it right when I said it back. We are big eaters and usually finish what we order but we were lucky and became stuffed, so we took some hummus/bread back to snack on later. The other gal there helping was friendly, helpful, and fun to talk with after we ate. Hoping to hit this spot again when we come back to town! Oh, the ambiance was quiet, we had a relaxing conversation while we ate.

After thay I had the Shish Tawook sandwich and my wife had the Falafel sandwhich both were very good. I recommend everyone to try out the pastries there as they were very good. Also the owner said they had the intention of expanding and serving Syrian Shoarma, im looking forward to it!

About as close to 5 stars as is mathematically possible. But not *quite* there…read more There were seats available on a Wednesday night at about 19:00. The gentleman told me to wait a couple minutes, as a smaller table was finishing up and he planned to seat me there. The servers spoke English very well and were charming. The kofta is a classic go-to. I thought mine was excellent, but just not quite hitting the mark that I've had in the past. Definitely the type of food that I would go back to multiple times, if time was infinite. Pleasant atmosphere (music, TVs, people not too loud), and a good amount of food. Prices have likely increased since the last time someone posted a menu picture. Mine was about €26 with a beer.

They also have night activities especially during the weekend and hookahs, I'm not especially fund of the loud music and typical arabic beats but it sure is an escape if your looking for that

I had never regret going to a syrian restaurant util i went to Syriana just over a month ago now…read more The first disappointment was the staff that did not have good knowledge of Syrian food (our waiter was colombian and there was no one who was Syrian or knew the Syrian cuisine among the staff). The mezze was decent and the soup was okay but when we got to the fatayir/kibbeh it was clear that they were not fresh and were warmed up. The mana-ish were all way below Syrian standard and the food was either dry or too fatty. They also served fried chicken which they give a nice arabic name but is, at the end of the day, just fried chicken. The all you can eat system forces you to order in rounds and then finish your food or pay a penalty, so i was forces to eat fried chicken strips and nuggets.

In the mornings they have an AYCE Turkish breakfast which includes Turkish tea, a freshly made Turkish crepe with fresh cream and honey and fresh rolls. The buffet spread includes a variety of freshly made salads, cheeses, stews and spreads. It is an amazing amount of food and the buffet only costs €10.00 pp. We usually only go to pick up boxes of baklava, but we really enjoyed their breakfast the last time we visited. They however only speak Dutch and Arabic, but we manage to communicate with our broken Dutch. A real hidden gem in the Eindhoven area!

Seems to be a decent Turkish place as my friends have told me…read more As a vegetarian, I've only had the KIZARTMA PATATES (potatoes with eggplant, zuccini, pepper, garlic, yoghurt & some sauce). I really love it and I love how delicious it is without breaking my student bank account. The place is now divided into 2 locations that are very close to each other, where one is for meals and the other is for desserts. I've had some baklava and I think something other dessert there. They were good. Service is also good. The decor is pretty nice. I really love the Turkish tapestries and also the upholsteries on the chairs. With some Turkish tea, you will forget you are in Holland! :)

We got to the restaurant around 9pm just as the place was about to slow down. We got sat immediately and our server promptly asked for drinks while we decided what to order. We got the lentil soup and the Adana kebab platter. Both the soup and entree serving were a lot of food yet very delicious. The service at the bazar is excellent and they take Apple Pay which is now the common way to pay for pretty much everything in Europe. 5 star restaurant in central Amsterdam. Popular place for drinks and middle eastern food if you like it as much as we do.

Honestly the food saves this review. We had the rice which was good but their stew was amazing! Potatoes I would skip. Their chicken and lamb was also very very delicious and tasty. Nothing was spicey which was great, everything was just very flavorful. If you are in the area and looking for a change in cuisine after spending a few days eating Dutch food then I would check it out. Prices were reasonable as well.
