If you're visiting Amsterdam, this is the first restaurant I'd recommend you try. The best restaurant in Amsterdam.

Great turkish food and hospitality! Demet was very sweet and helpful, suggested us a nice local wine and great dishes to share. Overall, a very positive experience.

The place had a lovely atmosphere, the food was equally good, and the staff were very friendly. I would like to thank Cemile Hanım for her attention and sincerity. I highly recommend you go.

The portions are extremely small, definitely not filling, and it's really not worth the money. You don't feel full; you can eat better food in better places. They even charge 3.5 Euros for Turkish coffee.

These were truly the flavors we missed while living abroad, and everything we ate was incredibly delicious. The atmosphere and the staff's attentiveness were also excellent. We especially thank Mr. Arslan for his attention; the appetizers, main courses, and desserts were all very, very tasty. Thank you so much!

I would like to thank the museum and its staff, who are like lions, for giving us a wonderful kebab experience after coming all the way from Türkiye.

Everything was delicious! The staff were very polite and respectful, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was fantastic; we finally got to enjoy the flavors we'd been missing! A special thank you to Mr. Arslan for his attention and care…

Azra was great host and food was delicious. All together-excelent with affordable prices

We were helped by Azra, who was super friendly and helpful. The food and atmosphere were excellent!

The place was beautiful, the service and everything was wonderful. I would like to extend a special thank you to Cemile Hanım.

Many thanks to Cemile for her warm welcome 🥰

Shameful. Overpriced. Ali Ocakbasi is an absolute disgrace. This place shamelessly exploits Turkish culture for profit while delivering a product that completely betrays what real Turkish food stands for: generosity, warmth, and hospitality. What you get here is the exact opposite. The prices are outrageously high, completely disconnected from reality. And what do you get for that money? Embarrassingly small portions. I am not exaggerating when I say the plate looked like a children’s portion. I left hungry, angry, and feeling ripped off. The atmosphere is just as bad: Insanely loud, overcrowded, tables packed so tightly that you have zero personal space. This is not dining — it’s chaos. You can barely talk, barely breathe, and certainly cannot enjoy your food. What makes it worse is that this place drags Turkish cuisine through the mud. Turkish food is about abundance and respect for the guest. Here, it’s reduced to greed, noise, and tiny plates with luxury pricing. That is dishonorable. Summary: • ❌ Ridiculously overpriced • ❌ Tiny, insulting portions • ❌ Loud, cramped, stressful environment • ❌ Complete disrespect to Turkish culinary culture Amsterdam has many great restaurants. This is not one of them. Do yourself a favor and stay far away.

Both the food and the atmosphere were truly wonderful. It's a place where you can comfortably sit with your family. Finally, I would like to extend my special thanks to Ms. Cemile. Her smiling face, sincere attention, and thoughtful gestures added a special touch to our table.

Everything was perfect. Mr. Kaya was helpful in every way and he really enjoys providing service.

The atmosphere is lovely and the service is excellent. We would like to thank Ms. Cemile for her attentiveness and friendly demeanor.

Ms. Esra is very cheerful, we expect continued success.

Everything we ate at this Turkish restaurant, which specializes in grilled dishes, was delicious; however, the most important detail that made our experience unforgettable was the service provided by Mr. Kaya. Thanks to his smiling face, attentiveness, and professionalism, we felt extremely special. His anticipation of our needs before we even had to ask, and his genuine approach, truly delighted us. Thanks to Mr. Kaya's hospitality, the restaurant felt like a family environment. We thank him and the entire team for this wonderful experience, and we will definitely be back.

A special thank you to Mr. Abbas for the excellent service! The food was delicious and the service was top-notch. We'll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful evening at Ali Ocakbaşı. The food was excellent, authentic Turkish cuisine with great flavors, especially the grilled dishes and meze. A special thank you to our waitress Azra, who was extremely polite, attentive, and professional. Her wine service was outstanding — she poured the wine with elegance and confidence, clearly showing her experience and professionalism. She made us feel truly welcome. Thank you so much Azra! Overall, a fantastic dining experience with high-quality food and exceptional service. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious food, service by Azra was great. Air conditioning a bit hot, but that brings that Turkish vibe.

Best Turkish Restaurant in the Netherlands. I’ve been living in the Netherlands for 10 years now and hear a lot of ‘Really good Turkish restaurants’. Ali Ocakbasi is a 100 times beter than all of them. Especially during Xmas the team was so helpful, accommodating. They even let my grandma go in earlier than our reservation and gave her tea to warm her before our meal. Amazing food, even better Kebap. Thank you so much 🫶

Great food, great ambiance and great service and food advice from kaya. He was very thoughtful and helpfull.

The place and service were wonderful, the food was fantastic, and we would like to extend our special thanks to Ms. Cemile for her attention.

I visited this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. It's very small, but charmingly and sweetly decorated, with a lovely Turkish flair. The food was delicious: the pirzola was particularly tender and expertly prepared. The çiğköfte, however, were a bit too spicy for our taste. Overall, we had a very good experience and would definitely recommend this restaurant.
