That restaurant is a nightmare. The rice was superdry, the meat and liver compleatly overdone. The best was the bread. For a single kebab with plain bread charging 12 eur is a ripp off. Generally the prices are far too high even if food would be good, but for such a prision canteen style taste it is just a reason to stay far away from here.

We went as a family (2 adults, 2 teenagers) after seeing the high rating on Google. It was very crowded, and they seated us in what seemed like an added section. It was an outdoor area and quite cold, with staff constantly passing through. Despite waiting a long time, no one came to take our order. The same thing happened at the table next to us; they said they wanted service twice but still hadn't received it. In the end, we had to leave without getting any service. Perhaps we happened to be there during a very busy time, but unfortunately, our experience wasn't good.

Great food here and big portions so had to ask for a doggy bag. Had the mixed grill for one and it was so good! Service was quick too and very relaxed atmosphere. Was a little taken aback how expensive it was but quickly realised it was worth it because of the quality of the food and portion sizes!!

The woman who works here looks at me and my girlfriend strangely because, according to her, we're ordering "too much." She has a judgmental look on her face, as if she has to eat it all. Mind you, we're ordering two main courses with a side dish... Then we ask if she can add some tomato to the wrap, and guess what? Those are some big tomatoes in that wrap! Weird that she wants to decide for us what's too much. God forbid a girl is hungry. The food is excellent, though, with good meat.

I can highly recommend this restaurant! They serve truly excellent kebabs. One of the best I’ve had in Amsterdam. And prices are so reasonable, that I think Antep Kebab offers the best price/quality ratio. We ordered the mixed kebab, and every type of meat was perfectly cooked: flavorful, tender, and not oily or greasy like in many other places. The seasoning was spot on. They also offer a great selection of desserts, all of which were delicious. Service was attentive and friendly, and the place itself was spotless. There are plenty of tables both indoors and outside on the terrace, making it a comfortable spot no matter the weather.

Just had an Antep kebab platter with my wife. The kebab was dry and tasteless. I ordered kunefe for dessert. After waiting half an hour, it turned out they'd forgotten to register the order. No apology, no offer of an alternative. Just a very rude "forgot to register." Honestly, it wasn't worth my money. Way too busy, mediocre food, and lousy service.

A very proper meal. Left full and satisfied. Cooked in a traditional manner that really brought out the ethnic flavors one desires. Why 3 stars, it's an open kitchen so the smell of the food sticks strongly to your apparel, the meat is cooked entirely fresh. While eating here I had a specific outfit to wear just for visiting the restaurant. Secondly they do not accept Visa or Mastercard; I couldn't use my Emirates card which was disappointing. If they accepted card and I was staying nearby I'd probably eat here everyday. There is a breakfast which starts at 8am.

Ordered a mixed grill for two people to take away. I opened it at home and sat inside. The food was almost tasteless and not enough for one person. Lots of onions. I paid around €55 for the cook, who wasn't honest and had no experience preparing food! It's a shame for the owner, he's losing a lot of customers because we won't be eating there anymore or taking it away! It's a shame.

They charge a premium but give you very little in return, also a long wait, and not a single person speaks Dutch or English. The toilet is dirty, and the restaurant stinks. The woman in the kitchen prepares the peppers and tomatoes with her bare hands and long nails. Extremely disrespectful staff.

The chicken was okay and the kuzu-sis was also very tough and had no taste, the bulgur was okay and the salad was tasty. All in all, € 33.50-, for 1 person is on the expensive side, especially if the food is really so bad. Too bad, no more Serifoglu for me. I also have a stomach ache since yesterday.

My wife and I went to this place for the third time today. It is the best Turkish restaurant we have experienced here. I usually eat beyti, the sauce on it is too much for me, but when you take less sauce it is very good. The raw meatball paste they bring beforehand and the warm bread are very good. We did not like the taste of the rice that came with the meal, we did not understand whether it was because of the oil or the rice was not fresh. My wife ate liver today, it was average. We have tried Adana (good), eggplant kebab (average) and chicken wings (very good) before, we were generally satisfied. The staff is friendly. We also tried their desserts. The pistachio baklava was very good. The trileçe is also good. A place I recommend 👍

Enjoyed a well-seasoned and spicy Adana kebab at this restaurant – just as it should be, full of flavor and with a nice kick. The Tavuk Şiş (chicken skewer), on the other hand, was on the dry side, but luckily the spices used made up for it. The tapas/mezze starters were reasonable, nothing special, but fine to start with. What really stood out was the Antep ezmesi – it was on another level, wonderfully fresh, spicy and well balanced. What did stand out was the service. Although it can be understandably busy, the staff could be a little more representative in their dealings. A smile or a little more attention when you ask for something would really improve the overall picture. All in all, definitely worth it for the flavors, especially if you are a fan of spicy grilled dishes - but with some extra attention to service it can be really great. Worth repeating!

If you go with 4 people, you get appetizers and bread for 2 people. The same amount is served even when you go alone. However, when you run out of bread and appetizers for 4 people, they charge extra for the bread. My advice is to sit at separate tables for 2 people; thus the account is lower. It is useful to specify this when making payment. I think one loaf of bread should be served per person. That's all well and good, but what's the point of charging extra for bread? I have never seen such an application anywhere. If a customer comes extra, you will make more than a profit based on what he paid. As your competitors increase, your customers will decrease,

Review of Rijks – Vegetarian Tasting Menu (Tuin | Garden) Walking into Rijks, you immediately sense that this isn’t a “typical museum restaurant.” It’s refined without being intimidating, and the service sets the tone for what turns out to be a remarkable dining journey. For my first-ever vegetarian tasting menu — and at a Michelin-starred restaurant — I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Courses & Impressions... Tomaat (Tomato, Strawberry, Honey, Basil) A surprising opener that danced between savory and sweet. The brightness of tomato lifted by basil, with strawberry and honey adding both freshness and depth, instantly set the stage for how imaginative this menu would be. Fruits de Terre (Amazake, Shio Koji, Poppy Seed Tahini) Earthy, nutty, and umami all at once. The amazake and shio koji provided a subtle fermentation complexity, while the tahini grounded the dish. A fascinating “soil-meets-ferment” plate that showed just how far vegetables can go in flavor expression. Tuinboon (Broad Bean, Sea Lavender, Pistachio, Lemon Verbena) This plate was a revelation in texture — the creaminess of the beans, the gentle crunch of pistachio, and an herbal lift from lemon verbena. It tasted like a garden in peak summer, delicate but assertive. Pom Pom Blanc (Lion’s Mane, Celeriac Bordelaise, Hollandaise, Curry Leaf Oil) Lion’s mane mushrooms are often praised for their “meaty” bite, and here they were elevated with a Bordelaise richness and the silkiness of hollandaise. The curry leaf oil gave it a subtle aromatic twist. A dish that blurs the line between plant-based and classic French fine dining. Millefeuille of Beetroot... The star of the menu! Even though it was an add-on, this was a piece of edible art. Beetroot layered like pastry, bringing both visual drama and earthy sweetness. Worth the indulgence. Glazed BBQ Tempeh (Oatmeal, Zucchini, Ajipanca) Smoky, hearty, and comforting, this was perhaps the most surprising course. Tempeh, often dismissed as “hippie food,” was transformed into something gourmet. The Peruvian ajipanca pepper added depth without overpowering. Bijenwas (Beeswax, Honey, Elderflower, Black Fruits) A poetic finish — floral, fruity, and lightly sweet. The beeswax brought an almost ethereal texture, while elderflower and black fruits tied it together like the closing note of a symphony. Overall Experience... This menu was one of the best gastronomic journeys of my life. Every dish was layered, thoughtful, and elegant... not once did it feel like a compromise for being a vegetarian meal. Instead, it showcased the creativity and depth that vegetables can offer when handled with care. Rijks isn’t just a place to eat; it’s an education in flavour, a conversation with Dutch soil, and a reminder that vegetables can stand proudly at the center of haute cuisine. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable, and worth returning to Amsterdam for!!!

What a joke, ordered “big” shawarma and it was a tiny portion and just terrible overall. Scam
