Cute little place in Jordaan!…read more We ordered the falafels, hummus with roasted cauliflowers and the sampler - a trio of dips. Our favorite was the eggplant. All the food was delicious - so flavorful! The pitas that were served with the dishes were so soft and pillowy. Perfect compliment to the dips. Love all the dishes!

While visiting Amsterdam, I stumble upon this place. Being Persian and having Persian foods many…read moretimes and trying Mediterranean all over the Southern CA, I became curious to try this place since I have never had Syrian food and the place had a nice ambiance. The ambiance and the view is very nice and the sitting area is very warm and welcoming. The food is not that impressive, I ordered two dishes. A) The Rice dish: I enjoyed the rice dish as it had different spice than Persian rice or Indian rice. B) The combination Kabob platter: The ground beef and chicken were both dry but the taste were good and the beef fillet pieces were better than the chicken fillet and the ground beef. I was not too crazy about the Kabob platters. It was a unique experience because I never had Syrian food and I will probably try it once again.

About as close to 5 stars as is mathematically possible. But not *quite* there…read more There were seats available on a Wednesday night at about 19:00. The gentleman told me to wait a couple minutes, as a smaller table was finishing up and he planned to seat me there. The servers spoke English very well and were charming. The kofta is a classic go-to. I thought mine was excellent, but just not quite hitting the mark that I've had in the past. Definitely the type of food that I would go back to multiple times, if time was infinite. Pleasant atmosphere (music, TVs, people not too loud), and a good amount of food. Prices have likely increased since the last time someone posted a menu picture. Mine was about €26 with a beer.

I had never regret going to a syrian restaurant util i went to Syriana just over a month ago now…read more The first disappointment was the staff that did not have good knowledge of Syrian food (our waiter was colombian and there was no one who was Syrian or knew the Syrian cuisine among the staff). The mezze was decent and the soup was okay but when we got to the fatayir/kibbeh it was clear that they were not fresh and were warmed up. The mana-ish were all way below Syrian standard and the food was either dry or too fatty. They also served fried chicken which they give a nice arabic name but is, at the end of the day, just fried chicken. The all you can eat system forces you to order in rounds and then finish your food or pay a penalty, so i was forces to eat fried chicken strips and nuggets.
