We would suggest if you haven't tried this-DO SO!!! We were in Amsterdam for two days and wanted something "local" to try. Checked on YELP and this came up. Not ONLY was the food DELICIOUS but the price was right on the money! The owner even helped me pronounce the meatball word amd said I got it right when I said it back. We are big eaters and usually finish what we order but we were lucky and became stuffed, so we took some hummus/bread back to snack on later. The other gal there helping was friendly, helpful, and fun to talk with after we ate. Hoping to hit this spot again when we come back to town! Oh, the ambiance was quiet, we had a relaxing conversation while we ate.
Loved checking this place out. Great food, kind service, a relaxing and homey atmosphere. A great place to come and catch up with a friend over a good meal or people watch. I had the traditional hummus plate and it was great. Light, but filling and fresh ingredients. Hit the spot for sure!
This was probably one of my favorite places to eat in Amsterdam. The Mediterranean food in Amsterdam is really top notch and I wish I can bring this place back with me to the States. I would eat here everyday if I could. My fiance had the siniya which consisted of ground beef and lamb and he really enjoyed his meal. I had the falafel that was on the chef's specials and it was absolutely amazing. It had a combination of tomatoes, pomegranate seeds, tzatziki sauce and beets. It was sweet and savory. You must check out this place!
The hummus was excellent, as expected, of course - it's in the name. The best surprise was the ample amounts of white and whole wheat warm, fluffy pita bread served alongside. I didn't ask for it, it was just part of the greatness of the dish. And to top it off, what I thought would be a basic tea with a bag of herbs was truly fresh lemon & ginger. Amazing!
Yum! We made reservations for dinner. The restaurant is intimate, everyone is super close to each other. I felt that the staff were extremely accommodating for us, we arrived early, granted it was raining outside. They allowed us to be seated 45 minutes early. This is uncommon when in the United States, at least until your whole party is present. All of our food was very good. No complaints there. We were allowed to separate our checks. Two toilets located in the back of the restaurant. All in all, I'm pleased with this meal.
This is a lovely little restaurant near the Lindengracht market. We stopped by on a Saturday after wondering through the nearby stalls. They have a variety of seating, and my friend and I sat on a little couch near the entrance - perfect since it good for people watching but out of the scorching sun. I started with a sparkling water and iced coffee. The servers were very attentive - in fact, nearly too attentive. It seemed we had 3 different servers checking in on us! Despite this, we didn't feel rushed and felt comfortable sitting for a while. The beef and lamb plate was delicious and served hot on the pan! The condiments on the side offered a variety of unique flavored, although the dish was great on its own. There is a washroom in the back as well. If you looking somewhere to sit on a Saturday afternoon after the market, this would be the place!
Everything we ate was high quality, down to the olive oil drizzle on the hummus. The pita was standout - pillowy and fresh. The falafel was fried fresh and not oily. And the hummus itself was great. We also ordered the meatball and eggplant dish but honestly could have gotten full just from the hummus. I'd recommend sitting outside if the weather works out!
Based on the number of high reviews, I decided to come here for dinner. We made reservations, but we came here early since I was hungry. We ordered "A Bit of This and A Bit of That." I like the option of trying a variety of items. The eggplant was my favorite. The falafels were a bit dry. Overall, most of the items were just ok to me.
I'm still dreaming about the chicken hummus platter! 10 out of 10 - highly recommend this place!
Amazing. Came with a friend and we got the "a little of this a little of that" as we wanted to try all we could. We were SO glad we did. Everything was amazing, and they just kept bringing out more dishes to try (probably ended up with 3-4x the amount of food in the image) and we ended up having a lot of yummy leftovers as well. The staff was so nice and it was a great experience with a great ambiance and vibe inside.
Delicious fresh eats. The falafel is light and fluffy. The lamb kebabs are well-seasoned. The tiny salads are flavorful. The gin and tonic with orange and spices was very refreshing. Definitely the word is out. Small intimate space fills up quickly.
Review coming from Southern California where we have great, healthy Mediterranean food. Hummus Bistro knocks it out of the park. First off the friendly service makes you feel welcome, then you settle in by getting beverages and listening to relaxed reggae music. My wife got the falafel, which I had to try and was crisp and amazing. I got the hummus chicken in which I loaded with the provided pickle tray. This place knows how to bring out fresh and well made food.

Cute little place in Jordaan! 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! read more
This place is really good but also small and really crowded. It's best to make a reservation if you can. It's definitely not fancy but it's not expensive either. It's got all your standard Middle Eastern food items and everything is good. The labneh is the best I've ever had. read more

Had an absolutely great time at this restaurant. The service was great, the food was even better. I loved the cauliflower + hummus dish, shahshuka, and the best was the falafel by far. read more

Great place for vegetarian and vegan food. Very nice atmosphere and great service. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to squeeze us in while the place was packed. We went for the "a bit of this and a bit of that " menu to share and taste a variation of dishes. It was surprising and very tasty. Will definitely come back... read more
Numerous visits to d&a warranted a recap. Shakshuka is a mainstay in my dinner repertoire at home, and after trying it here, I realized I was a wee bit off. Flavor abounds in this dish as in the numerous hummus options (of course), salads, falafel, swooped up with loads of pita. With the wine bottles flowing, it's sure to be a memorable meal and crowd-pleaser for the Mediterranean lovers. The workers are hospitable and they manage to host a lot of tables - at least when weather allows for terrace seating. Inside is a bit small, but reserve if it's an option or try your luck because the food will leave a positive impression. read more
I have traveled all over the world and have been lucky to have had some great meals. I will tell you that this ranks right at the top. I am always on the lookout for great Mediterranean food and all I can say is WOW. This is a small place tucked into the neighborhood that provides amazing flavors with interesting dishes. We were having a late lunch so we were really hungry. All of the items looked amazing and the stomach took over. What seemed a simple late lunch turned out to be an amazing array of food and flavor. We started off with the original hummus which was amazing. So fresh and had whole chickpeas in it. A different take, but amazing flavor. As we enjoyed that, our main dish came. We both ordered the Kababonim which again was off the flavor charts. Basically it is lamb and beef meatballs with roasted root vegetables. Such an amazing dish. Also the portions of the hummus and meatballs were HUGE. We literally rolled out of the restaurant. But it was so good, I couldn't stop eating. I rarely give out 5 stars and this is well deserved. Another note is that rarely have I come across a meal that I have tried to duplicate when I got home. This one I did. Please support this business. read more

Before any of our food came out, our server at d&a hummus bistro brought out a parade of little "salatim" dishes, including pickled red onions, spiralized beets, spiralized cucumbers, pickled carrots, a bitter-tasting orange "jam," and a spicy yellow zhoug. This colorful spread of ingredients was a great way to start the meal, but the highlights were yet to come! My pick was the hummus falafel, made of a plate of super creamy hummus topped with soft chickpeas and three crispy falafel balls, along with handmade pita breads on the side (both white and wheat). The falafels and the puffy, doughy pitas were perfect for dipping into the hummus, which was so satisfyingly delicious, especially with some of the orange jam or zhoug to add a little zing! I also tried the Kebabonim, which were three juicy grilled patties made of ground lamb/beef with herbs, served over roasted root vegetables (carrots, celery root, red onion) and tahini sauce. Overall, this was a super tasty meal in a friendly, casual cafe setting. Everything came at reasonable prices, and the hummus, pita, and salatim were definite highlights! read more
I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Amsterdam. The tasting menu is the best way to experience all of the wonderful items - we got falafel, chicken, lamb, eggplant, cucumber salad, different hummus selections, pickled vegetables, shakshuka, and more. It was a great atmosphere, incredible food, good service! They deserve every star. read more
Maybe we just didn't order all the right things, but this place wasn't as impressionable as other spots in Amsterdam. We came here on a Friday night to grab a bite and everything we ordered was mediocre. I will say that their HUMMUS is good and that is probably the only thing that we really devoured and finished. We ended up not touching the other items and I was really disappointed. It was really cold and there was no space inside, so we sat outside. Took about 15 minutes for us to get our menus and another 30 minutes to get all our food. The wait itself killed the vibe for all of us. When we got our food, the waiter didn't explain what each of the items were so we were left kind of confused on what was each item. We didn't get to go inside, so we don't know what kind of vibe the restaurant was. We passed on a lot of food and didn't really eat too much here. I usually really like mediterranean food, but this restaurant just didn't cut it for me. read more

While visiting Amsterdam I had to try this place because of the reviews! I had heard some recommendations that Indian food was a hit in the Netherlands, so why not try one of the best rated places?? For starters I got the shakshura, at least I believe that's how you spell it. It was one of the best meals I had in my entire European trip! Check out the pictures because it's just amazing. They give you pita bread and you can sit there and just savor every bite. The restaurant itself was nice and clean and had an overall good vibe. Would go back if I ever make it back to amsterdam!! read more

OMG even better at dinner The soup of the day : Tomato with chickpeas and lentils was 10 stars and the pita bread was amazing The hummus was smooth and full of flavor This place is a must!!!! read more
This place was awesome Came for lunch - got the following: Pita: 5 stars, toasted and plenty of it Hummus and roasted cauliflower: 5 stars, the hummus was creamy and rich and was very complimented by the cauliflower and pita. Super satisfying Shakshuka with sausage: 5 stars, not too salty, also huge portion, well balanced flavors, and also went well with the pita Would definitely come back!!!! read more

This was my favorite restaurant experience in Netherlands and Belgium (the two countries I visited on this trip). We got so lucky with timing, because it was pretty full when we arrived and soon after sitting down, they had people waiting around for tables. Ordered the "some of this some of that" sampler platter and it was AWESOME. Favorite highlights: the spicy carrots, the spicy sauce that came out at first and the hummus was fabulous with the falafel and other goodies in the pita. They had a wonderful little fresh brewed iced tea (quite small, unfortunately, but oh so tasty). Staff was very friendly, decor was nice, but tables were pretty small--too small almost, for the amount of food you got with what we ordered. Highly recommend this place for a meal! I'm going back next time I'm in Amsterdam. read more
If not my absolute favorite, Hummus Bistro d&a is definitely one of my favorites in Amsterdam. I could sit here just to look at their decor and set-up alone. The service was better than many other places I've been to in Amsterdam and that alone is enough for me to return here. The Yelp reviews on here don't lie -- this spot is amazing. Mediterranean food served with a twist~~~ The photos speak for themselves. I had the Sinaya and my friend had the Kabobonim - both outstanding. A must-try when in Amsterdam! By the way, if you're one of those super indecisive people, this spot is for you, as they have a menu option called, "A little bit of This & A bit of That...for when you don't know what to choose". read more
