    8 euros for a Döner and the bread fell apart immediately. No veggies or sauce just soggy bread and meat….

    The prices are totally unreasonable and the stuff impolite. I paid 6€ for a TINY hot dog (they charged extra 2€ for ketchup/mustard) that was just taken off the package and put in the microwave. They served me the hot dog with the two sauces not as a topping on the hot dog but in their packages on the side, for me to add them! Zero effort made. I didn't try the churros but I can tell they cannot be compared to the original ones. Advice: do not go there, there are plenty of other options.

    It was cheap and delicious food. When you eat meat you feed the taste of meat. Workers are very kind. It was pleasure to eat there. I recommend for middle low budged.

    One of the best meals I’ve ever had was here, it was 5 years ago, but it was life changing and I have not stopped thinking about the food since June 7th, 2018. 5 stars through and through. I got shawarma with some sort of sauce that was insanely delicious and the sauce is what I have specifically not stopped thinking about.

    I would give 0 stars if I could. They advertise churros for €1 on the screen outside the store, in the end I ended up paying €24. I asked for 2 churros and the cashier girl with braids gave me 2 bags with 20 churros. When I made her aware that this is not what I wanted and that it feels like a scam she started insulting me and was incredibly rude. I never had a experience like this anywhere, let alone Amsterdam. In the end I ended up paying because I’m not from here and there was a sketchy guy in the store, I’m assuming the girl’s colleague as well listening to the interaction. In my opinion the city needs to put a stop to places like this that ruin the experience for the tourists.

    Lived in Amsterdam for over 4 years. This place has turned to preying on unsuspecting high tourists in the last year and it’s a shame. Charging 7,50-850€ for a mediocre doner kebab should be a serious crime. SHAME.! For reference, in the west (10 mins away) you can get the best kebab of your life for 4€. You do the math

    DON'T GO HERE! The prices are absurd (I paid 9.50 € for a simple crêpes with just Nutella) and the staff is incompetent.

    It was one of the good kabab …price and quantity was good … amount of chicken was also good .. taste could be increased little bit … overall good place

  • 1/5 Joshua S. 1 year ago on Google
    I can't recommend this place based on their business practices. They advertise €5 wraps but then charge you €8 for it. The shoarma wrap was okay. I've have better and worse. Not worth it for what they charge.

  • 1/5 millie r. 1 year ago on Google
    Our friends had leftovers and gave them to us. The workers took the leftovers away claiming it wasn’t ours and immediately threw them away in the bin. An absolute waste of almost a full meal. When we made a comment about how wasteful it was of them to throw fresh food away they began to insult us in Arabic since they thought we couldn’t understand the language. Rude workers. Decent food

    Food is of such bad quality. The Stuff from last night will be heated up. And the most shameful thing is that they'll deceive you about the cost. They will charge you more than what the menu's prices indicate. A kebab advertised for €8 is actually €11. The shopkeeper is completely dishonest.

    Can confirm what other reviewers said. Tourist trap. They charge a higher price than their menu posts. And not worth the higher charge -- one of the worse kebabs I've had. They seem to make up the price and see what they can get away with. When questioned, they insist they're charging the correct price Also the tables were sticky, bathroom had no soap, not even a soap dispenser, and the kitchen had no sink so, hygiene was questionable.

    Nice and small place, kebab in tortilla was very good, great garlic sauce. Hot one was a bit too strong. Meat was amazing, just what kebab meat needs to be. Only objection is amount of green salad inside. More meat, less greens(kebabwise only).

  • 5/5 Arjan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Take the kebab and pita with sauces. This place is known for this one and you can go wrong and eaten by the locals.

  • 1/5 anwar b. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst place ever! They do as they are having meat and chicken but at the end they have an old meat ander the table which you will get anonymously. Got sick for the whole next day. Very dirty and very bad. Will never go there again. EGYPTIAN TRAP!!!!

  • 1/5 Steph R. 1 year ago on Google
    (Called now baba Restaurant) 32€ for 2 sandwiches (shoarma + cheese) with 1 water and 1 cola. No French Fries ordered ! On the menu, one sandwich was indicated at 9,9€ What was the individual price of cheese supp. and soft drink ? Anyway, it was 12€ ... The worst : the meat of shoarma were very very very "hot spicy" and it could be just specified. I ordered with cocktail sauce but received with 1 bottle of garlic and 1 of ketchup !? Garlic bottle was blocked (dry ?) then I asked for cocktail and finaly got andalouse (not in bottle) Table was unstable. To avoid ...

    Delicious food,tasty,I try wrap shawarma beef was really nice ,and plate of shawarma chicken and was also nice ,for sure I will visit again

    These guys are using multiple shady tactics to scam people out of their money. 1) When ordering shoarma listed on the wall priced at €5.50, you’ll be told “we only have large shoarma” which costs €7.50. Right... 2) 50cents inexplicably added to my bill. On top of that - the large shoarma is one of the smallest I’ve ever had, and below average in quality/taste. Chips undercooked and again, small portion. Pretty lowlife establishment all round. Designed to extract as much money as possible from tourists/drunk people for the least effort.

👍👍 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-...
