We ordered the Bardak Alti (mini lamb pita) and the Ali Salata (salad) as starters. The mini pita is really small and probably for a single person, but was fine for the two of us to share just to get a taste. The salad was fresh and light, but also not a huge portion size. For the main, we opted to share an order of Barisik Tabak, which was a combo of Ali kebab (lamb & beef kebab), Saslik (veal w/ onion rings), and Pilic sis (tender cubes of chicken). This was a great sampler plate to try multiple grilled items and we really enjoyed it. The meat was tender and juicy, not dry at all, and very flavorful. The entree came with a small side salad and rice as well. We also ordered the baklava for dessert, which was super tasty as well.

Tonight, our friend who introduced us to the restaurant, generously ordered the mixed grill extravaganza. Lamb, beef, chicken, rice, french fries, and, if that wasn't enough, a huge salad to go along with the meat. But first, appetizers. Shrimp grilled with feta cheese and mixed vegetables, as well as a tortilla-like wrap filled with goat cheese. And then there was bread, with not one, but THREE dipping sauces. And eggplant dip. The food and the service were outstanding. We even had to bring home leftovers. So. Much. Food!

Parking might be a challenge at times, but that is part of Amsterdam, so deal with it. You can enjoy your meal here outside (if the weather permits), on the first floor, and second floor.

It was just a 15 minute walk from our hotel, Marriott Amsterdam. The restaurant was lovely with white tablecloths and great service. Food was delicious! Our favorite mezze was the octopus salad appetizer which was one of the many to choose from. Entrees were excellent: grilled sea bass x2, grilled sea bream x2, rack of lamb, and stuffed roasted whole eggplant. Both red and white wines were enjoyed too. We were too full for dessert so maybe next time we're in Amsterdam, we'll try it. Highly recommend Levant!

Came here for dinner on a Monday. This meal was hands down my favorite during my short time in…read moreAmsterdam--we are big fans of Turkish food and we were not let down. This restaurant is super cute and has a very nice second level that has tables indoor. On the lower level they have a patio which is right next to the canal and it has a beautiful set up. The service was amazing. Our waiters were very patient with questions, were caring and asked where we were from, and offered to take a family picture of us which we appreciated. From the start they bring a big platter of all the mezze available to your table and you get to pick which ones you want to have (prices are listed on the menu), they also bring a big basket of delicious Turkish bread which reminded me of a focaccia a little bit except a lot heartier and without the flavor of olive oil. We tried the hummus which was creamy and had a predominant flavor of cumin, the octopus which was very refreshing and flavorful, the tzatziki which was thick, refreshing and very creamy with a powerful garlic flavor, and the eggplant with tahini which was cooked to perfection, and just melted in your mouth. We shared a bottle of white wine which was really good and dry. For food we ordered: Sea bass fillet: two generously sized pieces of sea bass that were perfectly grilled and super flaky. They felt very healthy and fresh. Came with some salad on the side. Duck breast: super tender duck with a really nice flavor. The meat was soft, not chewy, and it felt pretty lean. Came with some rice pilaf that was also very well cooked and tasted really nicely. The combination of the duck, the fruit, the sauce and the rice was fantastic. Also generous portion. Sea bass with Turkish bouillabaisse: this dish was amazing!! The sea bass was flaky, and melted in your mouth. The sauce that it came with was also really flavorful and had some dill on top as well. Really enjoyed the other fruits de mer which came with the dish (shrimp, squid). Super decadent and filling! I used some of my leftover Turkish bread to soak up the sauce. Grilled chicken thigh: did not try it but my parents loved this dish! They said the chicken was very tender and that the sides were really good too (some greens, potatoes, and labneh). Overall really loved this place! I thought the service was splendid, the ambiance in the outside patio is unbeatable since you get your own private area along the canal, and the food was spectacular. 11/10 would recommend to anyone who is around the area and wants a place for a nice dinner!

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.
