Some visitors to Amsterdam (such as the wife and I) occasionally want to get away from the tourist hordes that overwhelm the old central city, especially for a relaxing meal. Well, look no further than the second location of d&a hummus bistro, located in the Oostenburg neighbourhood. This is not far at all from the Centre City (a couple of bus stops) but is a different world: quiet, leafy, almost no tourists, just a nice area for real Amsterdamers. At this location they have a lovely patio that fronts onto a little pocket park, and a small-ish but clean and bright interior. The service was professional and knowledgable, and the food was incredible. We had a sampler platter for two that included about six different, delicious Middle Eastern specialities and a basket of warm Pita to scoop it all up. Yum! Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended. read more
