We came here in 1969 when it first opened. It was the first Indonesian food we’d ever tasted. Almost everything else on P.C. Hooftstraat has changed since then, so we were delighted to return and find that SamaSebo remains the same. The waiter kindly recited the Indonesian names for all the dishes in our rijsttafel. It was a nostalgic pleasure to hear those words again.

I managed to screw up our reservation, the restaurant was fully booked yet the staff managed to find a table for us. They did not rush us, service was excellent and the meal was excellent and a great experience. The food is not spicy but condiments were provided to season to each of our tastes.

One of my favorite restaurants in Amsterdam. A great blend of a local cafe and an Indonesian restaurant. Great stuff and delicious food!

I was introduced to Sama Sebo many years ago the first time I visited Amsterdam and the quality of the food and the good vibe of the restaurant was the same today as it was back then. Look forward to coming back the next time I come to Amsterdam.

It’s not about the look of the restaurant or the food. It’s about the taste. Simply sublime. Will return again.

Dining at Sama Sebo has been an annual tradition for over 20 years. It's a great place for sharing a family-style dinner with friends and business colleagues. We usually take a group of 7-9 people and everyone is satisfied! When someone asks me where to dine in Amsterdam, Sama Sebo is one of my top recommendations.

We had the full rice table. The service, presentation and quality of the food were excellent. This exploration of the Dutch variation of Indonesian cuisine should not be missed.

We've never had the experience of a Indonesian Rice Table before and enjoyed it so much! The restaurant was a classic - recommended by an Amsterdam native plus a friend back in Chicago. The staff was friendly and funny - highly recommended!

The waiter never explain the rice platter and there was far too much food for two seniors. He even tried to get us to purchase two more extra dishes. Not good service.
