    Oh wow! Where have you been all my life? This place serves up some of the most mouth watering wraps I have ever had! Location: (5/5) This place is smack in the middle of town, easy to walk from any of the central locations in town and it also means that picking a wrap to go and a drink and one can sit on the canals while enjoying the food. Ambience: (3/5) Function over form here. There are seating areas upstairs, but it is a small space and hence not the ideal sit and chat type of location. But like I mentioned, it is a great place to pick up and walk to a canal and sit. Food: (5/5) Exquisite is how I would describe it in one word. The wraps are made to perfection. The colours, the textures and the flavour all fuse together to form the perfect experience with each bite. The wrap can get a bit messy, but hey, when something tastes this good, you really don’t care. The wraps are reasonably sized, but for those heavy eaters, I would recommend getting something in addition. Service: (5/5) For the queues outside, they did a fantastic job of getting the food to us quickly. So even when it is crowded, you should be fine as you will get your food quite fast. Summary (5/5) Best wraps in town! Stop reading this review and go there now. You will thank yourself for it.

    Very disappointing and a place to avoid! I live in the neighborhood and have driven by many times and have been wanting to try it. Not only was the food not very good, but the prices are totally geared toward tourist. €11 for a skinny wrap without much meat. I ordered the beef labneh which consisted of skinny wrap with the big gob of minced meat. It was very hard to distinguish the meat from the labneh. Like baby food . Too many other better options. The crew inside was nice though. That’s all for now.

    I went in with my kids/nephews and wife. We ordered chicken, beef and Halloumi cheese with zaater. For an Arab, the food quality/taste was average and nothing to wow about it to be honest. The wrap was dry and breaks off easily. The one serving that was great was the lentils soup to be fair! This was a consensus amongst the 8 people of us who ate in there. The place is very small with very steep stairs to an eat in area upstairs . It was a fall hazard for me currying the lentils soup in both hands…I am not sure if this is Amsterdam thing or only this place. Average restaurant overall and it is not a particularly great place to put in effort to visit but it is not a bad place either if you are up for quick grab if you are near bye!

    Very delicious chicken & hummus wrap 4/5. One of the best foods we’ve tried in Amsterdam. Lamb & tarator was sweet, not salty, we didn’t like it, 2/5.

  • 5/5 Lien S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great budget option for dinner! We all know Amsterdam can be quite expensive. 🥲 but these wraps are filling and delicious for under 10 euros. Tried the Chicken Labneh (€9,95) & Zaatar Halloumi (€8,25). Both delicious! The chicken is nicely spiced, the labneh brings that refreshing touch. The halloumi & zaatar is very tasty as well. It’s shredded halloumi, so no big slices. Less stuffed than the chicken, but also very filling, great veggie option. 🌱 Don’t let the line scare you! They go quite quickly and have some seating up the stairs if you want to eat in, but very casual. It’s close to the canal, so you can also takeaway and go sit next to the water. 👍

    Delicious Lebanese food! Definitely worth the wait! We've tried the lamb & 🐔. The lamb is one of the I've ever eaten. We've also eaten everything and completely forgot to take a picture of the food.

    Always the best! How is the freshly made flat bread can be any bad? It’s top quality. All the ingredients always fresh. It’s my certain spot when I visit Amsterdam. I never come back without eating The Lebanese! The soup is very unique red lentil soup. It can be served with different sizes of portions. And the hibiscus lemonade! That’s what you need with your food!

    Delicious Lebanese Cuisine Alert!! During my stroll through Amsterdam, bumped into this place! Decided to eat Chicken Labneh (11€) and it was really really delicious! I have had durum wraps, tantuni, döner etc but this dish was the best so far! The chicken pieces were juicy and tender, the sauces were also good (not too strong or spicy, but flavourful). The quantity was good and it was worth the money. Regarding the prices, it is expensive but considering the location, can't complain. A must recommend from my end!

    The most amazing wraps I have ever had. Amazing hummus, flat breads freshly baked, delicious lentil soup. Cute shop by the canals. Get takeaway and side waterside to enjoy.

    It is more a snack not a restaurant The food was very tasty. I tried the hummus and chicken wrap, it was great. There are some tables to set on top but it was really really hot and all the smell of what they were cooking was there. I recommend it for a take away.

    The food was good but pretty expensive. I liked that you can see how the bread is being made. The space is pretty narrow and there is only a few tables upstairs, so I’d recommend taking food to go :)

    Good lebanese wraps with fresh ingredients. Vegetarian and vegan options available. Good for lunch snack. I also had the hummus which was great. We waited for ~10 minutes for our order. Price is a bit expensive for the size of the wrap but they do taste good.

    A hidden gem in the middle of Amsterdam. We had Zatar and Cheese, Labneh beef, and humus. All were excellent and delicious. The mint tea was a good addition to the meal. Friendly staff, Highly recommend.

    We discovered this gem and tried a home made Manousheh wrap with lemon paprika chicken and labneh and roasted almonds. Extremely delicious. Also the home made ginger lemonade was really good and we recommend to stop here for a quick lunch! Quite pricey but good. Thumbs up

  • 5/5 Natasha V. 3 months ago on Google • 62 reviews New
    Amazing lunch place. Great options. We had a big group and everyone was satisfied. We had chicken labneh wrap, beef wrap, hummus and zataar. For vegan options, spinach and sweet potatoes wrap and lentil soup. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend! Would come back there again when I visit Amsterdam

    Crew was friendly and nice enough to tell me about the menu. I do not like strong flavors and this wrap has it a strong flavor, but in general was good. Place is nice and I like they have in the wall the story behind this family business. I thought it was expensive to be a wrap tho.

  • 5/5 Mazen A. 4 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    Authentic Arabian food. The hummos : superior. Must try. It’s nicely done, not bought ready-made like most of the restaurants The wraps, are healthy and very nutritious I took also, lentil soup. 🥣 , good one. The only issue is that they don’t serve Diet Coke 🥲

  • 5/5 Sumaia A. 9 months ago on Google
    The food taste nice and the bread is light. I tried the chicken, beef, and halloumi & Zateer. I prefer the chicken. The beef was oily and the halloumi was too much for my taste. The place is small but the staff is friendly and fast.

  • 5/5 Abhi S. 7 months ago on Google
    Extremely authentic Lebanese food. Tried the beef and vege labneh. They were extremely delicious and well done. Also the hummus that came with zatar bread was extremely tasty and freshly made. Must try when in Amsterdam . Staff were also extremely friendly and attentive.

  • 5/5 TheFitnessTheory 8 months ago on Google
    Incredibly friendly team and delicious kebab. Probably one of the fanciest ones I ever had - one of the best too (had the chicken one with labneh, but I tried the hummus one and it was fab too). Would absolutely recommend if you are around. They have only a few seats upstairs; but it’s very close to the canal, where you can sit and chill.

  • 5/5 Miao H. 10 months ago on Google
    I probably was the last guest for the day, and the staff were so friendly after I gave them my name Miao, and they even gave me a piece of brownie as a gift. I was so grateful! Back to the food, it’s kinda like a wrap, but it’s Lebanese flavor, I don’t even know what it is, but it surprisingly yum! Last meal in Amsterdam ends with this special meal! ❤️❤️

  • 5/5 Joy W. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious Lebanese wraps with lamb, beef, chicken or many other vegetarian options. Gets crowded with a long wait time and queue outside the store during lunch time on weekends as the cooking stove is limited. Mostly a takeout restaurant, but they also have a few seats for dining in on the first floor. We were told there is a 25min wait time before ordering, and it quickly grew to 40min for others behind. Service staff was very friendly and knew what they were doing. Would recommend to friends and come back again!

    Although the beef wrap that we ordered were good, I felt that they were priced a bit too high. The establishment's staff were amazing though; they were enthusiastic and, dare I say, energetic.

  • 5/5 Celine C. 1 year ago on Google
    Stumbles upon here while walking around Amsterdam, and came in to try. Wasn’t disappointed at all. I got the chicken wrap, and it was delicious! The ginger lemonade was homemade too and really loved it as well. Staff was nice and helpful. I’d definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Stjepan K. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food. We had a beef wrap, zataar and chicken one. red lentil soup is delicious. Many topping options also for vegans and vegetarians. their lemonades are very tasty. Prices are affordable it’s actually pretty cheap for Amsterdam. P.S. CARD ONLY

    Every time I passed by there is always a long long line. I am too lazy to wait in line for food so I never tried. Lucky, today there is no line so I tried for the first time. First time trying Lebanese food and I totally love it. Food: 5/5 There are three wraps to choose from. I picked the lamb one and it tasted really good. Sometimes if the lamb is not fresh, it tasted weird. But it is not the case here. Atmosphere: 4/5 Very cozy, convenient location. Normally people do take away but they also got place to seat on the second floor. But I got to complain that the stairs are so so so scary lmao I always fell when I walked down. I would recommend to do take away. Because if you eat on the second floor, your cloth, jacket will smell like food. Normally the wait during lunch time is around 20-30 mins. I would suggest do not come in busy hours as they are freshly made and apparently there is only one pot to make the wrap. Anyway would love to come try other stuff on there menu!

  • 5/5 Ghazi A. 1 year ago on Google
    The wraps were really good, stumbled upon this place as we were walking randomly and we saw that there was a queue before opening. Yes it was worth queuing for before it opens. The wraps were so fresh and light packing incredible flavour highly recommended to give it a go.

  • 4/5 Shareen A. 1 year ago on Google
    This little hole in the wall is crowded all day. I tried the zaatar haloumi wrap which was a little bland. Perhaps the meat or hummus filled ones would be a better option. The lentil soup was good. Great place for a quick meal or snack.

  • 5/5 Ksenia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty manoushes of different kinds. Big portion! You can customize your flatbread and sauce with is really nice. The place is really small but cozy and has a few sittings upstairs. Great for a quick bite!

  • 5/5 Artz M. 1 year ago on Google
    So delicious! This place is a bit more than a snack and less than a restaurant. Most people come here to take away, but there are some tables upstairs. The food is really amazing, the dough is well done and the filling well seasoned. We tried the vegan and the regular versions and we were very happy with it. Very decent prices too. I’m coming back anytime I’m around.

  • 5/5 Maryam 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding! I don’t even know where to start… this place is a must in Amsterdam! I ordered the lamb tarator (i added aubergine) and chicken labneh wraps… and oh my they are bursting with delicious Middle Eastern flavors. You can taste the premium quality of the ingredients. Will definitely give the other dishes a try next time. 5/5! ⭐️ 👏

  • 1/5 Oliwia K. 2 years ago on Google
    Nothing to do with lebanese food. Today in stormy weather we were asked to wait outside despite empty restaurant. Not nice, not really tasty and completely not worth the price. My wrap was basically super fat sliced cucumber. Waste of money, clearly a yuppie place.

  • 5/5 Ikhlas 2 years ago on Google
    Authentic Lebanese wraps. Great snack after shopping around the area. The smell outside the restaurant was breathtaking. The service was fast although they often have long queues. Their hibiscus lemonade was so yummy.

  • 5/5 hamza t. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best lebanese food, if not the best I have tried ever ! You get so many sandwich to try and they all have this unique and amazing texture that makes want to order an other sandwich. The place is small but cosy and located at the heart of Amsterdam. A special note for the Lamb Tarator sandwich : simply a pure delicacy

  • 5/5 Evan B. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible food! This place brings the convenient and delicious Lebanese street food to the middle of Amsterdam. Incredibly delicious food at an amazing price. This place is a must visit for a quick and filling lunch.

  • 5/5 Chris L. 2 years ago on Google
    Really fantastic wraps with all sorts of fillings. Gonna be back soon to try their bowls and other wraps! Quality is top notch and it's made fresh, but the wait was pretty short. Definitely recommend!

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
