Excellent Turkish food…read more Great service. Seating both inside and out. Fair prices for the quality and quantity. Saksuka was wonderful. Worth more than the E3.90 charged. Coban Salata ingredients seemed fresh. Tasty and healthy dish, for my personal taste a bit bland but that's no reflection other than my own desires for a bit more spice. A deal at E3.90 Adana Kebab plate has lots of different items and the meat had some "kick" to it which I liked. E15.00 House red wine was nice. Per glass E4.25 Heineken E2.90 I will be back next time I'm in the Netherlands.

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.

Oh my what a jewel. My friend in the States referred me here as he lived above it when he lived and…read moreworked in Amsterdam. So glad we listened to him. It was a fabulous meal. In order of items we force-ranked was the hummus and dried beef. I wanted to fly this home and will dream about it. The fried eggplant was awesome and it is stir-fried. Coming from the southern US, to me fried means battered and deep fried. So when it came without a batter I thought "huh" but it was the absolute best eggplant I have had in my life. And I love eggplant. Then meatballs, lamb skewers and stuffed mushrooms. They serve toasted pita to go with the hummus which is awesome as well. This restaurant will be on our go-to/don't miss list when we visit Amsterdam. And the owners are just lovely people. I recommend highly!!

We were looking for a place to eat close to our hotel. We noticed this restaurant and the reviews…read moreseemed good. It is located just one block south across the canal from the central train station We appeared to be the second table of their lunch window. The front door is on a busy street but the main dining room (and, I think, a small outdoor patio) fronts on a side street. We got a window table inside, which was good for people-watching during the meal. As this was our first meal after our flight, we were a bit jet-lagged, so my memories of lunch are slightly hazy. I think my wife and I each got a coffee (hers was a Turkish coffee) which were of the normal small European size. Three of us split 2 entrees, which was about the right portion size. One of these was very reminiscent of a kubideh kabob in terms of the form and taste. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I think we just got still water here, but they may have tap water (you usually had to ask specifically for that, we noticed later). Prices were reasonable. I think they had a bar area which may get more traffic during dinner hours. They also had a restroom for customers which, as would be the norm, was down a narrow flight of stairs in a cellar area. I'd willingly return here for a meal were I in Amsterdam again.

Favorite on my list is the mixed grill: A large platter of grilled lamb, chicken, beed, kofti alongside a sald and some rice. Alongside, are served some relishes and dressing for the salad as well as a basket of freshly baked bread. The grilled meats were prepared just right. Tender meats, spiced right and cooked perfectly. No complaints. Only praise. The meal was topped off with some bite-sized Baklava which were absolutely delicious.

About as close to 5 stars as is mathematically possible. But not *quite* there…read more There were seats available on a Wednesday night at about 19:00. The gentleman told me to wait a couple minutes, as a smaller table was finishing up and he planned to seat me there. The servers spoke English very well and were charming. The kofta is a classic go-to. I thought mine was excellent, but just not quite hitting the mark that I've had in the past. Definitely the type of food that I would go back to multiple times, if time was infinite. Pleasant atmosphere (music, TVs, people not too loud), and a good amount of food. Prices have likely increased since the last time someone posted a menu picture. Mine was about €26 with a beer.

However being one of the few places in Amsterdam open at about 6am on a Sunday morning, we were a bit of a captive audience and I welcomed the warmth. I shared a Falafel, and a Halloumi pocket. Both were pretty lacklustre. I didn't trust the meat options. They weren't cooked well, there was a lack of salad filling and it tasted pretty plastic and fake. The coffee (cappuccino) came from a machine and had grains in it. Really not impressed, however I can get this may have been an off time as there was a huge queue and only one very tired member of overworked staff.
