The food was excellent. I had a chicken dish with veggies which didn't really tell you how delicious it was. My husband had grilled salmon with really good rice and vegetables. Wine was very reasonably priced and I had a nice Aperol Spritz. They serve complimentary bread and a delicious spread of spiced mayo. We got delicious complimentary baklava for dessert and left two happy people. I definitely would be a regular here if I lived in Amsterdam. Go -- you won't regret it. (We also picked up takeout kabobs one right which were delicious too)

My friends and I had patatas bravas, chicken kabobs, hummus, mushrooms sauce, and falafel.. every bite was flavorful and tasted super fresh. Drinks were amazing too. The place has this chic Mediterranean meets upscale vibes but what really made it special was the owner and the staff. So warm and welcoming.. he chatted with us and then dropped off complimentary baklava that literally melted in our mouths. Skip the tourist traps and eat here.. you'll def leave full, happy.

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.

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.

I'm writing mostly regarding the staff, location and dessert though. We had two slices of their Limoen Taart Roomkaas, which I think is their version of the Key Lime Pie (?). It was fantastic! At the time that we tried it, we were told that it was a new item. One of the Staff Members/Managers came by our table to see how we were doing. It was a pleasant short conversation and not at all obtrusive. I had a chance to take a good look around the restaurant, including the outdoor area. I could see the spot being a good place to be during warm weather as it sits on the edge of one of the canals. We took our talk out to one of the external tables before making the walk back to our hotel. Bottom Line: The place seemed like a really nice spot. I wish we had time to come back for dinner. I recommend you visit. I have the restaurant flagged for my next return visit.

This was my first time trying true Italian pasta outside of the States and now I can't look back. I would for sure recommend this place for a chill and familiar vibe for a drink or a bite to eat.

But I have to say that I've come to appreciate satay with larger pieces of meat lately. One of my favorite places to score that type of chicken satay is dinnershop DIS. Thumbs up for the perfectly grilled juicy chicken thighs with a delightfully spicy peanut sauce. Rice with a bite, grated coconut with peanuts, a cucumber salad and your dinner is all set. Take it away or make the satay come to your place. DIS is close to the Westerpark, a sublime picnic spot.
