The waitress we had was very pleasant and fun to talk to - great customer service! My wife doesn't eat meat and we were looking for a place that was for her that night. Turns out, it was great for her, but it was also great for the full family. We left happy and wanting more! Try it out!

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.

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.

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!

Absolutely no ambiance. Not particularly clean. Small and cramped…read more But that's not why we eat shoarma now is it ;) I've actually eaten here several times when visiting friends when I still lived in NY and several times since I've moved back to Haarlem. In fact, I've encouraged The Wife to visit friends I don't particularly care for just to eat here. It's on the botermarkt, which has a great market although the cafes there, I'm not so sure of yet. But I digress. The food is just amazing. I'd put it right up there with Mama in A'dam. I must be honest and admit I've never had anything other than their shoarma, but good god damn, why order anything else when the meat's this good? Succulent, tender and cooked up with just the right blend of spices. Don't be fooled by the apparent "small" servings; these are substantial broodje shoarmas. The people working there are friendly, and if you ask nicely they'll even give you the real hot sauce - not that cheap sambol crap - if you look like you can handle it. Their garlic sauce is good too, a little bit sweeter than most in my opinion, but I like that. Guaranteed to stave off hangovers, or, at least, not make you care that you are about to have one.

When we kindly asked the owner to resolve the situation, he said there were no refunds available. He maintained a very hostile attitude the whole time and ended up flipping off my mother.

Imagine that an Indian person explained how to cook to a Greek and Moroccan. That is how the food tasted, and it was very unique and very delicious. The chutneys included an olive spread and a sun-dried tomato spread. The chicken spices tasted middle-eastern or Moroccan. The bread was wonderful indian naan.
