The reviews brought me in and they were right. I got the lamb shawarma plate which was delicious, the yogurt sauce especially is like crack. The folks who work here are super nice. Big warm friendly smiles and were attentive and eager to please despite not being fluent in English. Thank you guys, you are going a great job here. Recommend sitting outside to take in the sites and people watch if it is available. read more

Ate a variety of food in Amsterdam and Sefa hit the spot. We ate everything we ordered and loved the lunch meal with crispy fries, lots of meat and veggies. I asked for red cabbage in my lamb shoarma and they got my order right. I got the lamb (was ground) but my husband's chicken plate was more flavorful. The portions were big! The white sauce they serve is the best we had on our trip. There are other extra sauces on the table. We went to a late night doner spot the night we arrived-- Sefa was way better. You can walk here from the Anne Frank Haus. Good service, clean restaurant and delicious food! read more

Walked into a clean establishment and went up the stairs to a table. A waiter took our order and we received our food shortly after. The dinner was a huge amount of delicious food. Ordered the chicken and beef not sure if the name. It came with two salad, fries, and the two meats. Husband also ordered a lentil soup. It was different than the kind we get in the states but tasty . We actually went there two nights in a roll for dinner. read more

Delicious shawarma and doner kebab. The sandwich is delicious and the tables are filled with different sauces for both sandwiches and fries. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Love ayran and was excited to see that offering. Definitely try for some good doner in Amsterdam! read more

After unexpectedly having my mind blown away by their chicken doner on a completely random visit here back in 2017, there was absolutely no question that my first real meal back in Amsterdam had to be Sefa. Five years later, this is still the best damn chicken doner I've ever had! I don't know what they do to make this chicken so flavorful, but I've never had anything like it anywhere else in the world. And this is coming from a guy who prefers beef or lamb. In fact, it's so good that I came here TWICE on my recent Amsterdam trip. This time around, I actually tried the lamb doner. It's alright, but it has nothing on the chicken shawarma. That chicken doner sandwich I had was just FIRE. Staff here are really friendly. Very casual place, they make you feel quite welcome. Pay up front before you leave. I promised these guys that I would give them a great review and I'm holding up my end of the bargain. Sefa is 100% worth it and will be a permanent fixture of my food tours every time I go to Amsterdam! read more

We had a very short trip to Amsterdam and popped into this spot because it was convenient and smelled good. The service was very friendly and fast, the prices were very reasonable, and the chicken doner was, according to my daughter, was maybe the best thing she has ever had. And she's had a lot of good food in a lot places! If you're anywhere near the neighborhood, this restaurant is more than worth it. So glad we found it! read more

5 stars all the way!!! Strolling in Amsterdam right after visiting Anne Franks house I was tired and wanted a quick meal.It was a cold and rainy afternoon.This place had an open inviting space, open doors and meats being prepared right in front.Small restaurant with limited seating on the main level and some on the upper and lower level. I walked in with a shawarma on my mind but I saw the chef preparing a juicy burger and I immediately changed my mind.It was burger and lamb burger for sure. I placed my order and it was cooked right in front of my eyes-fresh to perfection and a huge serving for the right price.The food took about 10 mins. to arrive to my table.I kid you not their lamb burger is one of the best burgers I have ever had.If you love lamb this place is must try.The pattie was huge, the meat was sooooo flavourful and fresh with perfect spices.The bun was just a 10/10 too.Fries were piping hot and delicious. There was this only one table which is literally on the street and I was happily seated there.I thoroughly enjoyed the burger with a fabulous view and the rain. The service was super fast and friendly.The server kept checking on me occasionally and even offered if I wanted to move away from the front open table since it was raining to another-obviously I didn't I was loving the food, the rain and the view. Today sitting in Toronto I still dream of their burger, until next time!Cheers. read more

Nobody, I mean nobody makes a more delicious, scrumptious and hearty dürüm döner than Sefa Grill-Shoarma. Nobody. Lekker, lekker, lekker!!! While traveling in Amsterdam, I tried numerous other Turkish dürüm döner and the taste just wasn't there. Sefa Grill-Shoarma is located right across from the beautiful Protestant church, Westerkerk. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sefa-grill-shoarma-amsterdam?select=ncPlyTvYFkehXrDHd7BY2A#59lLV6YxiLuARiMOKrLpUA FYI: Rembrandt was buried in Westerkerk. It's also right around the corner from Anne Frank's house, literally right around the corner. You also must visit the "Homomonument", also around the corner. It's a beautiful monument dedicated the gay community. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/qmUsgx5KBF7RzVUkyQR0vg?select=0qYZciURXVm4SxvB_pDd3Q#hX50_Ub-lM45NpDaKj5r8g Ok, enough of the tourist facts, let get back to what is important, dürüm döner!!! Sefa Grill-Shoarma servings are generous, I mean generous. Huge portions of meat are served in your Turkish burrito, AKA dürüm döner. You go in, order your food and go upstairs to the dining area and in a few moments the friendly staff will bring you this gigantic dürüm döner for only six Euros. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sefa-grill-shoarma-amsterdam?select=FMRqsYp3k3hywgvkqBN83g#tHXQ85QvpG8DNkJE-GCv6Q Every bite is just perfect, so savoring. The staff will also provide you the yogurt sauce and a spicy sauce. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sefa-grill-shoarma-amsterdam?select=FMRqsYp3k3hywgvkqBN83g#PIuZQvhaiG589K5u8Tq__A Did I mention the generous portions??!! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sefa-grill-shoarma-amsterdam?select=FMRqsYp3k3hywgvkqBN83g#59lLV6YxiLuARiMOKrLpUA While you're there, you have to try their french fries, AKA frites. Unlike french fries made in the states, they cook these thick fries only when you order them. They don't sit underneath a heating lamp. They are absolutely delicious too. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sefa-grill-shoarma-amsterdam?select=FMRqsYp3k3hywgvkqBN83g#-pZAWYWfSIHy_g9oFt8cfg If you're a local or a tourist roaming the beautiful city of Amsterdam, you must, you must, you must come to Sefa Grill-Shoarma. Like most Dutch restaurants they have WiFi, just ask for the code and they're more than happy to give it to you. read more

So much yes. We're big fans of halal platters so when we visited the Anne Frank House, we were glad this was so close! Service was friendly and the place was modern and clean. We both ordered the chicken and lamb platter with rice and generously used their white sauce (which I believe is garlic based). The meal was filling and not too expensive. read more

Found this gem of spot in Amsterdam, was visiting from NYC with couple of friends and we were looking for a halal spot to eat at. Everything from the quality of the food, to the service from Furkan our waiter, and the price as well. Overall ambience was amazing, definitely recommend. read more

My friend and I stopped to eat here, looked at the menu, and then chose to eat somewhere else. As we were leaving the manager/owner stopped us and told us we had to buy a drink or something since we had sat down. We hadn't been waited on, ordered anything, or took up any of their time but they charged us a ridiculous €2.80 for simply deciding to walk in. read more

Came here to try a kapsalon. It was super filling and salty. We sat upstairs and it was soooo hot. All in all, food was fine. And we get to check kapsalon off of our list of things to try. read more

Omg had the most DIVINE chicken & rice platter and shwarma wrap here!!! A stone's throw away from Anne Frank Huis - excellent choice for a quick but delicious meal in Amsterdam! Sorry for the rowdy group of 10 mildly drunk girls, Sefa - you are the BEST! read more

It isn't Berlin döner, but it is the best I have had in Amsterdam. Sufficient area to sit down, friendly, and give you the sauce bottles to apply yourself. Short walk from the Dom and well worth it to get away from the tourist traps. We visit every time we are in town. read more

I always need my fix of Doner and Kababs, this place is open to 6am (huge plus) and has lots of seating, however I don't think it's great enough where I would come back again - unless it was 5 am and I was hungry!! Portions are large, food is okay, a little too salty for me (needs more pita or Naan to balance it out I guess). Not bad, just not the best I've had for the money. There's many other places to choose from, so personally I would not come back here again or recommend this place to others, but it wasn't bad, I still ate a good portion of my food! read more

Only get takeaway. We made the mistake of sitting down and watched countless people come in after us, order and walk out well before we got our food. We were very excited for beef Donar, but of course they were out. Try somewhere else instead. read more

Lovers of Shawarma, we went to this address and it was sooooo delicious!! We took the menu with shawarma bread and my brother took the Kapsalon and it was so good! The shawarma bread is served with fresh onions, salad and cucumber. The servers were adorable and very smiling that we appreciated that. read more

4.5* Where do I begin? In Amsterdam, I was craving kebabs/shawarma and found this on Yelp. I ordered lamb shawarma and chicken. The lamb had wonderful seasoning and the chicken had a nice more subtle flavor with bits of crispness from the heat/grill. I loved the chicken so much I came back to eat here the next day and just got chicken. The plate was served with pepper, grilled slices of tomato, lettuce, cabbage and carrot. First time I had fries which were from frozen that were okay. I opted for rice the next day which I preferred. The rice was almost slightly sticky but soft yet held its shape. The white sauce was mild. It was a well rounded meal reaching all food groups! They had quite the variety on the menu with wraps, turkish pizza and sandwich options on the back. From what I saw, a lot of people ordered those but I had plates. There is a large portion of food which my tummy appreciated...prob not my waistline though! I'd highly recommend this place if you're in Amsterdam. read more

Sefa Grill-Shoarma - Mixed plate of lamb shaorma and chicken w fries - Fast Food Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

This is the story of how two idiot American tourists got everything wrong on a trip to Amsterdam right up to the date of departure, (set to rain all weekend) the airline, (delayed 7 hours) the airbnb, (featuring a broken toilet) and the timing of eating a space cake (which kicked in the moment we stepped foot into Anne Frank's house.) Since that infamous weekend to Amsterdam, Kaitlyn and I have learned to travel better and with far more advanced preparation. Well, at least Kaitlyn has. I now just follow her lead as she points to foreign subway maps and asks me in her best public school teacher voice: "Now, Brian. How many stops before we get off the train?" "Four?" "Look again. Which direction are we headed in?" "Forward?" Flash back to the two of us standing outside Anne Frank's house trying desperately to make the most of our evening now that we arrived too late to see any other museums before they closed. "We only have tomorrow. The flight leaves too early on Sunday to see anything." Kaitlyn said, as she pulled her dripping hood closer to her forehead. "We've got to do this now. I just hope this space cake takes a while to kick in." It didn't. They say edible marijuana needs at least an hour to enter the digestive system, but thanks to the hippy magicians of Amsterdam, it took about ten minutes before I started pondering the existence of hamsters. The worst wave of the high kicked in somewhere around Anne Frank's childhood bathroom. Paranoid and cross-faded, I crouched like an umpire on the tiled floor and stared so intently at Anne Frank's bathtub, Japanese tourists started to gather around me and take pictures of the porcelain artifact as if it were a vital piece of European history. I still don't know what it was about that bathtub, but Kaitlyn and I have now concluded I remained swaying like a character from The Ring for about forty minutes staring at that thing. Though potent as all hell, the weed wasn't strong enough to numb us from the tragedy of Anne Frank's ultimate fate. Instead, we walked out of the museum tired, depressed, guilty, and painfully hankering for a hot meal. That, it seemed, was easier said than done. Short of the bustling prostitute-laden late night options of the red light district, Amsterdam is a bit of a sleepy town, and thanks to my bath tub time machine, it was now past 10pm. All nearby restaurants promptly closed at nine and to make matters worse, we quickly got lost in a remote part of town while stumbling back in the direction of our Airbnb. That's when it happened, the greatest of all late night food options: Sefa. I never knew Amsterdam had stellar Middle Eastern food options, no less a dinner as simple, delicious, and freshly cooked as a schawarma sandwich on a fresh pita with French fries, salad and a cold bottle of water. To hell with gourmet anything. When you're wet, exhausted, stoned, and thinking about the Holocaust, the greatest possible option is to walk up a flight of stairs with a red plastic tray full of delicious lamb and chicken sandwiches, and simply take a load off, throw some water back in that parched cotton mouth you gave yourself and regroup. Somehow, thanks to the complimentary Wi-Fi at Sefa, we routed our way back to the Airbnb. Amsterdam didn't seem so bad after that meal. And really, who cares about a weird toilet and a plane delay, anyway? Though we remained the idiot Americans that weekend, we were, it seems, fortunate enough to have the anagram on our side. read more

Best place to get Kapsalon. Kapsalon is a modern Dutch fusion of Turkish kabab and sauces and Dutch fries and cheese. What a wonderful dish, not to be eaten if you are on a diet. But, it is fantastic dish, a must eat in Amsterdam and Netherlands. read more

I think Sefa shoarma is one of the best in Amsterdam. Clean, nice staff, generous & tasty lamb meat, reasonable price (€5 for broodje / bread shoarma), and with bread instead of pita. 1 thing could be improved though: free salad bar read more

This is an excellent restaurant if you hungry for some good Falafel or Doner Kabobs! The staff is super friendly and the portions are generous. They end the meal with free Turkish tea and some yummy desserts. I had the Falafel and my husband had the beef doner. Great combo as we split the meals. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area. read more

Sefa is a two minutes walk from my place, and we accidentally came upon it while discovering our neighborhood. And to our surprise this lil place was fully packed. And has some tasty non expensive options to try out. I had their kip grilled Broodje. And it was really good! Their doners are also quite nice. And they do give everything super fresh! So if you dont wanna spend too much but also wanna have a good meal, you should head on there! read more

Worst Turkish food experience ever... No Turkish respectful restaurant will serve tea bags. Food disgusting,service even worse. 2nd floor gets all the heat and AC was off.

Good service, good location, surprisingly comfortable and inviting decor (for what it is), and decent food. This is a decent, quick lunch stop if you are in the area and in the mood for some middle of the road middle eastern fare. The meats (shaorma, Adana kebap) didn't trip my trigger unfortunately but the rice the meat is served with was pleasantly spot on. read more

My friend and I had just arrived in Amsterdam and hadn't gotten a chance to grab dinner. By the time we made it out of our apartment, it was 11 PM, and we were starving. We wandered around streets. Restaurants were closed. Bars were no longer serving food. One bartender recommended a convenience store. I refused. We searched on relentlessly for good food. I began to tire and suggested that we just look for a place where we could get hot chocolate and a pastry. We saw a light for a coffee shop, crossed the street, and walked straight in. You probably know what happened. I'm an idiot. This was not the kind of coffee shop I was looking for. We took one look at the menu and swiftly turned around. Discouraged, we decided we weren't even that hungry anyway, and we began to walk back to a bus stop. Suddenly, I saw two guys eating these HUGE sandwiches at an outdoor table further down the street. "THERE'S FOOD!" I exclaimed, and we went toward them. Actually, the place they had gotten their sandwiches from was closed. But just behind them was Sefa. We hurried in. They were open. They had food. They had MEAT. I couldn't believe my eyes. Both of us being lamb averse, my friend ordered the Turkish pizza, and I had a doner sandwich. When they brought out our food... my God. I can't even describe this kind of happiness. That beautiful, dark meat. The overflowing pita. THE WHITE SAUCE. IT was all perfect. I was (more than) full, and I was unbelievably content. We couldn't believe our luck. Sefa is an absolute BLESSING on the streets of Amsterdam. You don't need to be drunk to enjoy this. In fact, it's probably better sober so that you can savor just how perfect these sandwiches are. read more

Have some fine tea while you wait for your fine dish. CONES OF MEAT! You can't get the fried liver cubes (Arnavut Ciğeri) which I love, but you're not in Ankara... (And you can't get cannabis chocolate anywhere in Turkey... So...) A really nice takeaway and friendly proprietors that speak many languages and aim to please. If you're Dutch this is the real deal; if you're not Dutch it's still the real deal and yummy fun stop on an Amsterdam trek. Portions are large (the Cacik for €4 is insane... Take the rest with you) and the lamb is succulent tender and properly spiced. If you don't know "shoarma" now is the time to learn. I promise you won't be disappointed. Food that's fast but not fast food. read more

Ok, I promised myself I wouldn't come to the same place twice while I'm in this amazing city for the whole week because I want to try a different place every time, but... I just might come back again before I leave, it was THAT GOOD. Good service, nice staff, bomb, tasty food!! How could it get any better? Seriously. Surprised there was such a nice area to sit that felt like you were at a nice restaurant, but you get your food in about 1 min at a very great price and so much of it! Ordered the chicken sandwich & was only 5EUR. Such a steal and so tasty! I will be back again. If you want fantastic food & a huge bang for your buck while in Amsterdam look no further. read more

Ordered a falafel kebab. The service was pretty good. No fuss and speaks good English. I liked the food. Maybe a bit try, but they give you sauce on the side to add as you please.

I stumbled across this place totally by chance and was really happy with my schwarma. There's a million schwarma places in Amsterdam so it's really a coin toss. In any event, the bread was fresh and the chicken was tasty along with the extras they stuff into the pouch. This place is in a prominent location so it's easy to find. So if you are in the area give it a try. I also had a really nice chat with the owner which always adds a little extra reward when finding a place like this randomly. Finally, half the little hole in the wall places in Amsterdam lack a bathroom but this place has a tidy one all the way in the back. A nice little extra when out and about enjoying Amsterdam. read more
