I came in here looking to get a doner kebab after class. Instead I got a decent but expensive…read moreshoarma plate and a weird experience. The guy who greeted me when I went inside the restaurant was very friendly. I said in about 6 different ways to him that I wanted to order something for take out, 'afhalen', 'meenemen', and so on, and he said 'alles mag' or 'everything is possible'. So I gave him my order, and he told me to sit down and be 'rustig', and asked me all sorts of questions about where I'm from, where do I live, do I have a husband, a child, what do I do for work, etc. He introduced himself, shook my hand, and was super friendly but eventually he went back to setting up the delicious-looking buffet that would be available in a few hours when they opened late due to it being Ramadan. So far, so good. Then some guy brought me a basket of bread, and a bowl of ranch sauce, and I thought this was strange, but oh so delicious, so fine I'll go with it. Then the friendly guy brought me a plate with my food on it, even though I ordered it to go! I said I ordered it to go and he said I should sit and stay awhile. Every feminist bone in my body was protesting that this man decided he knew better than me what I wanted, but the bread and ranch sauce were really good so I stayed. As for my meal, other reviewers are right, the meat was of good quality. Overall the sauce and bread and meat and veggies made a nice combination, so it was much nicer than getting a doner kebab. But it was more than twice the price of a fancy doner kebab. Friendly guy asked me if I wanted something to drink, which I figured would be free, since he was making me eat there, but then he charged me for the tea when I paid for my meal! That kind of pissed me off that I paid another 2 euros for a drink I didn't need if I just got my food to go like I asked. The real trouble came when I was done eating. I could only finish half of my meal, so I went up to the friendly guy and asked if I could have the rest packed up to go. Other people had come in after me and left with food to go, so I knew it was possible to get take out there. There were about 4 people waiting for food to go when I made my request to get my leftovers wrapped up. I have no idea why I had such a hard time getting my food to go, when others didn't. Friendly guy told the not-so-bright woman busing tables to wrap up my food, and she took the food away. I paid and was waiting and waiting, and my wrapped up leftovers never appeared. Then I asked the guy again, and he said he'd ask someone, and I asked the dim bulb who cleared the table and she started complaining 'you can't have take away, you ate here' and when I said 'yes but I ordered it for take away, and I saw him tell you that you should put it in a box' she just repeated over and over again 'but you ate here. you cannot take away'. Ugh. Eventually not-so-friendly guy located my food in the kitchen, and wrapped it up for me in a box. I have no idea if it was messed with in any way, or already sitting in a pile of dirty dishes with other stuff on top of it or anything, but it looked like my food when I got it home so I guess it was ok. This experience really skeeved me out, so I'm not sure I'll come back soon, at least not alone. Maybe with my husband and child. The food was good, their buffet looked delicious, and they were advertising an excellent and inexpensive breakfast buffet available on the weekends, but I would rather not have to deal with all this nonsense again if I can avoid it, so returning is not a high priority for me.

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.

On the Other side of the rail line that runs parallel to Sumatrastraat you will also find a significantly large daily (except Mondays) market on Dapperstraat with a wide variety of products including a few fruit and vegetable sellers! The Eetscafe is OK if you are small eater and want to try Turkish food. At 6 Euro this is NOT an all you can eat buffet, you are not supposed to eat more than two plates, even if you don't like to load your plate! If you ask and find favor with the somewhat jealously watching owner/cook, you might get your exception! The food at the lunch time was all vegetarian, it included eggs and milk products like cream and cheese. Fruit are barely present, and green salads were not a part of the offering. Even much earlier than closing on a Wednesday many offerings very exhausted or close to it, so you might have to come earlier than 2pm. The number of offerings is relatively small I estimate there were 15-20 different dishes at the most. The food was tasty and combined well. I felt that nothing was spicy, but later I notice that garlic must have been present! The place and bathrooms were clean and modern, and it is true that they will allow you to use their WiFi. If at all a beverage is included it would be a simple tea or coffee, I did not verify that.
