On my quest to Yelp the f#ck out of Hoofddorp, I found myself craving balls of fried mashed chickpeas (aka, falafels). I quickly googled "falafels in my mouth, Hoofddorp" and this place came up! Leuk! Unfortunately, my review kind of ends here because there isn't much to say! They have doners, showarmas, falafels... much like all the other 1,204,693 places in NL, but not much more. I ordered a large falafel broodje approximately equal to the number of cocktails I downed the night before for 5.50 euros. Not bad. The flavor? Not bad. Bored already with my review? That's exactly how I felt when I bit into this. This place is clean, the people are nice, they make the food in front of you, but if I find myself thinking about how Maoz tastes better, then it's pretty much the end of the road. Oh and cash only, peeps!! Three stars for an ok place. Thanks and buh-bye.

The menu is very straight forward - pick your type (doner/wrap/plate), pick your meat and pick your toppings and sauce. I really enjoyed the gyro meat and the chicken was also very tasty. The fries were regular fries so not too special. They also carry a Turkish spinach pastry that is amazing.

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.

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!

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!

How lucky am I to have this little Turkish restaurant so near to my house? Sooooo lucky!…read more Because... there really aren't that many restaurants in this neighborhood and the others are really just snackshops, so we need SOMETHING. But also because it's Turkish and serves genuine Turkish dishes - not just shoarma or "Turkish pizza" - which is a nice break from the typical Dutch set of restaurants. Also because the food is actually really, really tasty - from lamb dishes to salads to chicken stews, etc. - it's all really good. Aaaand because the prices are great! Aaaand because it's kind of a neighborhood place that no one from the outside finds, so it's small and friendly and cozy and the owners/servers are super nice - neighborly even! So, if you happen to stumble into the south side of Haarlem and need a warm Turkish dinner (anyone? anyone??), this is it. But do understand, I'm a fan because this is a great neighborhood restaurant, not because it's gourmet food. Good, not gourmet. Perfectly satisfying, not for princesses. You have been told. Tip #1: There's always something on the menu that is NOT available that night, so be prepared/ask. Tip #2: HAVE THE TEA, WITH SUGAR - it's delicious!
