We are big eaters and usually finish what we order but we were lucky and became stuffed, so we took some hummus/bread back to snack on later. The other gal there helping was friendly, helpful, and fun to talk with after we ate. Hoping to hit this spot again when we come back to town!

While visiting Amsterdam, I stumble upon this place. Being Persian and having Persian foods many…read moretimes and trying Mediterranean all over the Southern CA, I became curious to try this place since I have never had Syrian food and the place had a nice ambiance. The ambiance and the view is very nice and the sitting area is very warm and welcoming. The food is not that impressive, I ordered two dishes. A) The Rice dish: I enjoyed the rice dish as it had different spice than Persian rice or Indian rice. B) The combination Kabob platter: The ground beef and chicken were both dry but the taste were good and the beef fillet pieces were better than the chicken fillet and the ground beef. I was not too crazy about the Kabob platters. It was a unique experience because I never had Syrian food and I will probably try it once again.

We got to the restaurant around 9pm just as the place was about to slow down. We got sat immediately and our server promptly asked for drinks while we decided what to order. We got the lentil soup and the Adana kebab platter. Both the soup and entree serving were a lot of food yet very delicious. The service at the bazar is excellent and they take Apple Pay which is now the common way to pay for pretty much everything in Europe. 5 star restaurant in central Amsterdam.

Honestly the food saves this review. We had the rice which was good but their stew was amazing! Potatoes I would skip. Their chicken and lamb was also very very delicious and tasty. Nothing was spicey which was great, everything was just very flavorful. If you are in the area and looking for a change in cuisine after spending a few days eating Dutch food then I would check it out. Prices were reasonable as well.

I had never regret going to a syrian restaurant util i went to Syriana just over a month ago now…read more The first disappointment was the staff that did not have good knowledge of Syrian food (our waiter was colombian and there was no one who was Syrian or knew the Syrian cuisine among the staff). The mezze was decent and the soup was okay but when we got to the fatayir/kibbeh it was clear that they were not fresh and were warmed up. The mana-ish were all way below Syrian standard and the food was either dry or too fatty. They also served fried chicken which they give a nice arabic name but is, at the end of the day, just fried chicken. The all you can eat system forces you to order in rounds and then finish your food or pay a penalty, so i was forces to eat fried chicken strips and nuggets.
