6.5/10We really enjoyed our meals. But the service unfortunately did not match the tasty food. The waiters were unfriendly and very impersonal.

8.5/10Don't buy wine here. The food is really good but the wine has not been stored properly and is sharp - no problem if you don't drink wine - food is great.

9/10We had the set menu and enjoyed a collection of very tasty dishes. The hospitality was very nice as we were able to sit back and the set menu was brought to us at a good pace, allowing us to both enjoy the meal and each other's company. The breads were excellent, and I enjoyed the spicy beef/lamb meat dish.

4.5/10The restaurant did not have my fork reservation but found me a table. Our menu choices were altered under the advice of the waiter, and the options suggested were expensive. We opted for one of the choices, which was extremely overpriced and in no way worth it. We paid €100 euros for an average meal. Would not recommend the restaurant, sadly.

9/10The lamb chops were delicious. Şaşlık was good. The kebap was probably the best we had in Netherlands. Cig kofte was ok. Tulum, Girit Efesi were very good as well. The bread they serve is also warm and tasty. A bit pricey but if you miss Turkish Kebab, you may overlook the prices once a month.

6/10The staff was very harsh to us. I have been there at least 7 times it is the first time i got treated so badly. I recommend the management to track their staff behavior. They were serving us in a hurry answering in a hurry as if they were telling us eat fast and felt the hell out of here. Normally i tip up to 30% this is the first time I decided not to tip and I left the restaurant angry.

6.5/10I was very happy with the ambiance and service, especially the long haired man smiling person which is good. but the food has serious problems with the taste. With such a taste, it is impossible for them to hold on to the competition in Turkey.

6/10A bit disappointing since the prices are really high but taste is below average. We had to sent back our kebab since it wasnt cooked. Mezes (tapas) were ok, but definitely not the traditional taste. We paid €80 p.p. and i personally wouldnt go again.

5.5/10One of the dishes (beyti) we ordered was not available instead of the one we ordered they brought to us another dish we did not order and when we asked they said we brought you the « Gevrek » because the beyti is not available. Really shocked we haven’t been informed and they decide what they can bring instead of telling us. Also the « replacement » plate was 3 euros more than the initial one we have ordered and we also paid the 3 euros more. They literally did not make any effort for their mistake but again they never applied haha . Never seen that before !

10/10The food was tasty, and the wait staff were friendly and efficient. I would, however, suggest hiring a maître d to improve the overall experience.

10/10Great Hosts! Lovely place right on Herengracht - very central, but still like a secret place. The food doesn’t need any recommend, because it speaks for itself - trust me. If you like charcoal grilled meat and veggies - go there. Staff is very attentive and polite. I’ll be there at least once, every tome I’m in Amsterdam.
