Kebab

Dabka has plenty of tables set up along the canal if you're looking for an outdoor meal. We started with the Hummus and ordered bread that comes out as a thin pillow. Hubby and I both thought our meat was cooked perfectly on our entrees. It was a lot of food for the money and all of it was very tasty. A great first meal in Amsterdam!

The hummus is so smooth! The hummus & bread ate great. Grilled chicken (faroug libnan), salad, rice. Everything tasted so fresh. Service was nice. This place can get busy.

Amazing authentic Lebanese cuisine!!! Service staff was very friendly and everyone speaks English. Looks like a family owned restaurant. The smell of fresh pita bread makes your mouth water. So much flavor and tastes so fresh. We had the humus and pita to start with some meat appetizer. The meat combo definitely checked all the boxes. Definitely should try this gem in the heart of Amsterdam Central. Walking distance from the train station. Looks like a popular place for locals as well as tourists, because the prior evening the line was out the door down the street.

A very authentic Lebanese restaurant that had a very local feel to it. Portions were huge and everything pleased us immensely. I had the #27 Kofka Meshwi/ grilled minced lamb skewers with onion and parsley for 18,80 euros and the boy had a mixed plate of meats. The meats were seasoned well and the pita was unique. All fresh ingredients with incredible taste. Staff was welcoming providing us with colorful menus which were descriptive with English details. An easy late night meal!

We would come back to Amsterdam just for this meal. Our most favorite meal in Amsterdam. Hummus is smooth as soft served ice cream. The chicken, tender and perfectly cook. The bread served with the hummus was absolutely divine and I've never had anything like it in my life. Can't go wrong with anything you order here. Absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this place.

Hummus

Hands down. Best Lebanese food. The baba ghanouj is to die for. Busy Amsterdam. They don't do reservations but the nice man at the door said, come back in 30 I'll have a table ready for you. We are so goad that we did. I ordered the most expensive meal and it surpassed everything I could think of. Lamb skewer, chicken cubes, lamb minced. I added those, the fries, the hummus, and garlic to the rice and made it into it's own bowl. If you are in Amsty.... Omg. Eat here. I'm truly impressed by the flavors. The hummus was blended perfectly. I've never liked baba ghanouj but this place was delicious!

Meze platter
Stephanie N.

A Lebanese restaurant located in a nice part of Amsterdam. They have outdoor seating by the water, they have indoor seating as well. We wanted to try a couple things so we ordered the Meze platter, the fish and chips. My mom wanted to try some meat so she ordered the beef kofta. I'm probably totally getting the name wrong. This place is amazing. Great flavor in everything. The fish and chips is stellar and a must try. The meze platter is great to share and try a bit of everything. If you're looking for a nice place to eat in Amsterdam look no further.

Authentic Lebanese cuisine. Friendly service, outstanding food and reasonable prices. Everything was delicious. Large portions. Great for sharing. The aroma of the food cooking drew us in. I would recommend going early or make a reservation. In nice weather you can sit outside. I would like to note that the restrooms were very clean. I appreciate that.

baklava

Very yummy food and amazing service! Good ambiance as well. Falafel, mixed grill, and baba ganoush were our favorites! Baklava for dessert was also great.

I had a dinner there and the mixed kebobs grill were so dry and not seasoned properly. On top of that I could smell the meats as it had no seasoning. The lentil soup did not have any lentil in it-I was do disappointed: It was a hot bowl of water with turmeric. Total disafter for $40.

See all
