Fantastic restaurant. Went with four friends and was treated like a King. Had the five-course…read more"mystery" menu. Just asked if we can't eat something. The waiter was enthusiastic, exciting and very attractive - which helps! He explained each meal very carefully as well as the wine. He reminds me of my attorney. I thought the food was incredible and we had a special "guest chef" that night. So I am not sure if they swap in and out chefs weekly but the meal was lekker. The portions were big for European standards but not too big. The wine was very good as well. They were very generous with the bread on the table....with lekker olive oil and butter. Odd thing I found about the place is the big shaker of salt on the tables. Right off the supermarket shelf. I would think that if you're confident of the way the food is prepared, salt would not be recommended or needed, but this is a big-boy thing of salt. HUGE space in West Amsterdam. Near an old dyke and canal. It must really rock in the summer time with that outdoor location. I will be going back for sure. (Review 383 - 395 overall) 13 Feb 2020

Really, the fregola with spring onions, romesco sauce, beech mushrooms, and olives just really did not work for me at all.

When I knew…read morethe Mr & I would be spending a weekend getaway in Amsterdam, I scoured around to see what our options would be & luckily I stumbled upon Marits Huiskamer Welcomed into her HOME on Fridays & Saturdays only, diners are treated to the most delicious, professionally prepared, locally-sourced, meal of vegetarian excellence. There are about maybe 8 tables ( can't remember exactly ) & some tables are communal in nature so if you have a small party, you may get an opportunity to make some new friends. The Mr & I had a solo table for ourselves but the cozy feel of the place made the environment warm & inviting Amuse of watermelon with feta & olives in cilantro Table bread was a lovely Green olive bread with organic teeny black olives Started w/ the yellow split pea soup with marscapone mousse & mustard seeds plus Dijon mixed in there - outstandingly savory & totally tasted like there was a bit of curry! Ravioli & talllegio w/ kelp sauce. No taste of sea grass but lots of peas & pea pods & ravioli was stuffed with peas too & cheese. Super! Fennel tart with tomatoes. Roasted potato & shaved carrot & seaweed. Beet carpaccio with goat cheese & honey. Yellow cucumber salad w edible flowers. Loved how all the dishes complimented each other Desserts included - white chocolate mousse w/ hint of wasabi in strawberry sauce for the Mr. He totally loved the spicy wasabi afterkick to the smooth sweet chocolate Plum Clafoutis w vanilla ice cream - sweet plums in a flaky crust was warm & gooey & delicious comfort food Bottle of Rioja wine to wash it all down - full bodied & smooth taste with a hint of tart to compliment the cheese This restaurant was such a wonderful find & we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a super gourmet meal & a unique dining Amsterdam experience

Very elegant interior, with tasteful decor, soft ambient music, best for couples, but also able to accommodate larger groups with a reservation. We were seated right away and greeted by our server Sona, very gracious, patient, attentive, and professional. She asked about any allergies and then took our order of chicken tikka saag and chicken tikka masala, both medium spiciness (also asked if we would like Indian medium or European medium--we chose Indian medium). These entrees come with rice, and we also ordered garlic naan. Immediately, they brought chilled bottled water and complimentary thin crispy cracker like bread with red sauce and green sauce (I didn't catch the names). I liked the green sauce better (mint), and my husband liked the red one better (tamarind)--both were lovely. About 20 minutes later, our entrees arrived piping hot, and cooked to perfection! Tender chicken, savory rich flavors in the masala and saag, both the right level of spicy for us! Glad we had enough rice and water! Excellent restaurant --Sona was amazing and the whole experience delicious!

We ordered some of the tacos to share (they have 4-5 per serve) and I honestly think that these are pretty good for Mexican food on the Netherlands. The tortillas were freshly made and soft, and the mole chicken was flavorful. The downside was the carne asada was a bit tough but still tasty and came with some fresh guacamole. Overall since this place is local to me and the service was so friendly, I'd definitely come back and make this my go to for Mexican in my neighborhood.
