    Great Middle Eastern fusion! Mix of Israeli and Afghan food. Definitely the best Tandoori bread and Muhammara I've had in a while. Pretty good vegan options (go for the vegan tafel!)

    True middle eastern gem. As a starter we had mantu which was delicious. Our main meals were tasty, flavourful and prepared very well. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Will definitely visit here again.

    Very good food, try mantu and the burned aubergine as starter. As main i would suggest kaubali pallow. If you love lamb. The service is really good very polite, everything is reasonably priced

    Clean place with new furniture, friendly staff and delicious main course food for a good price. Starters were disappointing (samosa and borek) because they seemed industrially made. The main course was great. Delicious rice, good meat, nice salad on the side. The pudding was a good, not too sweet desert.

    Went with another couple & their kids (donโ€™t have any pictures) and the food was so good! Included in our order was lamb shank; kebabs; humus and garlic naan (amongst others). Our waiter was really friendly and attentive; and overall we had a great time. Giving 4 stars only because the food took a long time to get there.

    I heard of this restaurant for the first time via RegioDeals so I wanted to try it. With 3 other family members I went there for dinner on a Sunday. The Mazzas we ordered (baba ganouch, hummus, Muhammara, taboule en fatoush) were delicious. Main dish Kebabs were tasty too. I would deff recommend the restaurant! And is worth going back.

    After visiting the canal parade, we chose to find a spot to eat in the outer skirts of Amsterdam rather than in the center. We found this nice restaurant. Mediterranean. Me nephew preferred the vegetarian fallafel dish. I ate a shami kebab roll. Sweet servants.

    My first meal in Amsterdam and I'm glad it was here, I had the tika chicken which was amazing and the portion was big and the side dishes was humus and yogurt. The staff was very friendly and we got our order quite fast

    We had a fantastic lunch there, the food was delicious, flavorful and fresh and it wad brought to us very fast. There are plenty of options on the menu, so regardless of your dietary preferences youโ€™ll find something to tingle your appetite. The location is also beautifully decorated, we were lucky with a sunny weather so we opted for the outdoor tables. Tea is a must for the authentic experience:) The staff was very friendly and attentive, which is quite a rarity in the city. Definitely recommending and will come back for sure!

    โญโญโญ #YallaYallaRestaurant #Amsterdam ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ ๐ŸŒŸ Pros: - ๐Ÿ’ฏ Halal! Great for those following halal diet. #HalalFood Beautiful interior. - ๐Ÿ˜• Disappointed with the takeaway experience. #ExpectationVsReality - ๐Ÿ’ธ Overpriced for what was received. Expected more for the amount paid. #ValueForMoney - ๐Ÿฅ™ Ordered shawarma with chips but received thin naan bread with a few chips rolled in. #NotAsAdvertised - ๐Ÿž Bread was so thin it broke into pieces, which was noticed only after getting home. #QualityIssue ๐Ÿ” Final Thoughts: While I appreciate the halal options, the quality and quantity of food didn't match the price. Left feeling underwhelmed and the food presentation was not as expected. #MixedFeelings #CouldBeBetter

    The food is tasty, and the interior is cute. Our waitress was by herself, so understandly she was quite busy as the restaurant was full. Because of this, we had to wait for the drinks, had to ask for more drinks, ask to be able to order, etc. She was really friendly though and the kebab and starters were tasty!

    We discovered this place as we were in the neighborhood and needed a place to eat a late lunch. The hospitality was very warm and welcoming. The food was good too and also affordable. They have a large menu with a lot of interesting options. We got ourselves the mixed grill and the malfof. I really enjoyed both but especially the malfof. The saffron tea was also quite pleasant. The only issue (not quite a problem really) was that they could not split the bill and let us individually pay.

    Hello, folks. Your delivery varies in quality very much. Sometimes you do good, sometimes just awful. Potatoes are soggy, the meat is tough to chew, missing veggies, parsley and onions. Sad dinner. Hope you can work on the quality.

    Ordered for home, they missed part of the order and they said they "are sorry" and they will make a not for next time, no refund or sending the missing order. Quality of the food is good, but the pirtions are ridiculously small. This is the meat for a mixt grill for 69โ‚ฌ

    Both the starters and the kebab I ate were super good and authentic, rediscovering flavors of the real Middle East. The table service is definitely more attentive and kind than the average of Dutch restaurants. Super recommended!

    I have ordered food for delivery from Yalla Yalla Amsterdam and I have also ordered food for dine in, I have to admit the quality of the food and portions and freshness of the food is not great. I ordered the meat skewers and paid a high price, the meat was not cooked properly, it was almost raw. I feel very disappointed and feel like money is wasted here. They need fo change this other wise its a waste of money and disappointment. ๐Ÿ˜”

  • 5/5 Mahya Hosseini B. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended. The staff were so friendly, polite and provided a great service. Communication in different languages is possible. The menu has a variety of tasty oriental dishes. A good portion of delicious flavorful food with a good design was served quickly. Also, the restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and a very clean bathroom. Mantu as a starter and Kabuli pallaw with lamb and shami kebab as main dish were ordered and we enjoyed them so much. I will definitely come back. Thanks Yalla Yalla!

    I went for appetisers to take away. I was very disappointed. The smoked aubergine was tasty but too little, thus overpriced and for burek they gave me fried cheese sticks. Maybe the mains are good, but after this experience I would not risk it going again.

  • 5/5 Shawn W. 7 months ago on Google
    I was in Amsterdam for business and found this gem of a restaurant. I went back multiple times as the food was amazing and the staff was excellent. As a Vegan, I appreciated the clearly marked menu. I brought some co-workers and they loved the meat dishes as well. My recommendation is the Muhammara dip and Tabsi.

  • 5/5 ๆฐๅŽŸๆ˜Ÿ้–‹ 2 years ago on Google
    I went there with family and a friend for dinner. Very approachable staff. I loved the cozy atmosphere, with a relaxing lighting and an ethnic songs in the background. We ordered kalf shish, chicken shish and dรถner kebab. All of them were super tasty (one of the peppers were super hot so be careful before biting a big chunk). Hummus was extremely nice as well. I usually don't order starters, but this time it was worth it.

  • 5/5 Newaj K. 2 years ago on Google
    This was our first stop off after a long journey from London to Eindhoven to Amsterdam and it presented an excellent start to our trip. The menu was a mix of Afghani and Middle Eastern cuisine. We ordered a range of food including the mantu and burned aubergine for the starters. For the mains we ordered the qabuli pilau (one of my favorite dishes) and mixed kebab skewers. You get to select two skewers of choice with the latter option. We went with the shami and chicken tikka. I've tried mantu and qabuli pilau in several places but honestly this was one of the best I've had. The lamb shank fell off the bone and the carrots and nuts had a bite to them. The shank also came with the meat broth which was a good addition. All the food was delicious. The mixed kebab was a little on the dry side, but noticing this the friendly waitress gave us a cacik dish, which complemented the meat extremely well. I'll be honest - when presented the menu I was a little confused as I saw items from Turkish, Afghani, Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. However, having ordered the items we did they've managed to make it work. All the meat was halal and they accept card payments.
