Visited on a Tuesday evening, it was busy which is always a good sign. Attentive service and interesting menu; we ordered 4 Meze starters, all very nice, which we shared, resulting in 4 very clean plates. Main’s were generally good; I had the mixed kebab which was excellent - well cooked, excellently seasoned and accompaniments accentuated well. My eating companions were a little mixed; two good dishes and one not so (although more a reflection of their palate I suspect).

Quaint restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere in Amsterdam. The food was very tasty and the service was very good. My wife and I decided on the Sham Deal so we could taste a little bit of several dishes they served and it did not disappoint. The salad was very good, we enjoyed most of the mazas and the skewers were outstanding. We would definitely return to this establishment if we're ever in Amsterdam again.

The food was ok, nothing special. We had to pay for a Cola that we did order.

Super delicious food, kebabs were so smoky, flavourful and tender. Mezze was great especially Hummus. Staff is very polite, welcoming and professional. A must for eating Middle Eastern food in Amsterdam
