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.

Many thanks to all the staff for making our family ‘reunion’ rijsttafel dinner such a wonderful experience. The service was friendly and quick and all the wide array of dishes was enjoyed by everyone!!

Dining at Sama Sebo was like coming home for us. We had dined here in 2010 and couldn't wait to return. And we weren't disappointed in anything! We enjoyed the rijsttafel, which is a fixed priced dinner with more than 15 dishes! Service was fast and efficient, and the food was EXCELLENT! We couldn't finish everything, but we sure tried. This will continue to be one of our go-to restaurants in Amsterdam.

We found the service to be poor. One of us did not receive their dinner with the rest of us. When it finally came, it wasn’t correct. Waiters did not seem to care nor did they want to make it right.

Negatives: we didn’t feel welcome, the personnel in charge of the front of the house was rude and not caring even by Dutch standards (which are very low in hospitality industry). Positives: it was our first experience of an Indonesian restaurant, and the food was reasonably on.
