Bar Basquiat in Indische Buurt West

Great little restaurant for street food or a quick bite

Good food, friendly and attentive service and chill atmosphere

Nice bar, friendly staff and good coffee.

Delicious food. Helped by Esmee, a friendly, cheerful, hardworking girl! Can also enjoy chatting!

We love this place! Street food from all over the world, so the menu changes from time to time. But there’ll be always hamburgers! The restaurant is in the middle of JavaStraat and what is called Indischebuurt, or the “Indian” neighborhood, which refers to its streets and buildings all having Indonesian names, and where the population is mostly that, and Turkish, and Syrian, and all kinds of immigrants, so the place is filled with shops, halal butchers, green grocers, cafes, etc. Anyway, Bar Basquiat is one of those hidden gems that you’ll be happy to have made the trip to oost.

Atmosphere nice, and the food was fine. I do miss the bao bun on the menu! 😇

Nice to drink beers and friendly service :)

Had lunch here. Excellent food. Friendly service.

Great place for our first night in town. They accommodated a larger group and did a great job managing our expectations and provided wonderful recommendations.

Amazing food good selection of snacks and whole meals. Come back here all the time and can definitely recommend the smash burger!

Nice tent in the Javastraat in Oost..!

Love this place! Had the tomato soup and it's honestly the best one. The garlic butter sourdough bread with it is absolutely perfect 👌

Best expierince let's just leave it at that 🗿

Esmee is zooo vriendelijk maakt de lekkerste cocktails !! Frietjes super lekker.! Hapjes ook goed bereid. Jammer dat het niet groter is want het is altijd gezellig bij ontbijt, lunch zowel diner. Goeie service en vriendelijk personeel.

Cozy bar and friendly employees! The Croque Monsieur was delicious. Nice for lunch or just a drink. Highly recommended!

Bar Basquiat’s cocktails never disappoint! Staff is always very friendly, and the loaded fries were very nice to snack on too.

Had a super fun Friday night here, with a dj playing throwbacks and very kind staff, especially Laurien! That makes all the difference in Amsterdam

Nice coffee and especially the ice coffee

Cozy bar with a nice, varied menu. Delicious smash burger with fries.

A super nice and cozy place! Despite the crowds, we were helped very well and quickly. The employees are very sweet, enthusiastic and hospitable. They were constantly walking around checking if everything was in order at the tables. The food came quickly and was delicious. One boy really stood out; he was so sweet and friendly, a real winner!

Tasty burger, tasty tacos too. Thank you Bar Basquiat!

Awesome spot! Great drinks, lots of menu options, and friendly service. Would recommend!

Great food, excellent drinks, amazing stuff!!!!!

Tasty food, friendly service. Vega options.

Highly recommended! Nice and cosy! 🩷🧡💛💚🩵💜🖤🩶🤎

Great drinks spot with good service!

Service is friendly but not informed. Knowledge of the cocktails served is zero.

Nice spot with good food. Good chai latte

Pleasant service but the food (corn ribs) was rather bland

Cozy atmosphere, very friendly employees and delicious snacks.

It was really nice here!! The food was fresh and well cooked. It is definitely recommended!! Even though it is quite busy, your food comes quite quickly. I only have one word for this and that is PERFECT 👌👌

Cozy terrace with delicious food! Everything was great last time! This time we had to wait a very long time for our food (>1 hour). Tip: inform customers that it will take longer, for what reason) and with a time indication. Now we received an apology afterwards. Also nice. But if you indicate it while waiting, there will be more understanding. In the end the food was delicious again! Satay is really our favorite, but the loaded fries and tacos were also delicious! The atmosphere was also great!

Super nice place. Tasty food and fast service

Don’t do the taco Tuesday. Basquiat has nice drinks and good options for non alcoholic drinks. The staff is also lovely and always checking if people miss/need anything. Too bad the food doesn’t reflect the same. We went for the Taco Tuesday event they have and we were quite disappointed. The tacos are not tacos, but wraps, the flavours are just meh, I can even make them better. They were not very fancy or tasty except for the Barbacoa one which was good. And on top of that, the price they advertise as “good deal” is literally one taco aka one tortilla. So in the end people are not paying a good price after all, but rather paying just for the normal price of one tortilla. Bummer. Perhaps tacos is just not their thing, perhaps they could try a different dish / change recipe

Excellent fusion food. Korean and others. So yummy. Fast. Great quality. Best kimchi in town. A place to return.

Great restaurant, staff are attentive, check on you to top up drinks and take care of you. In door and out are well looked after.

Great burgers! But the bibimbap was a bit lackluster really missed the Gochugan sauce. Was maybe a tad understaffed as we had some long wait times. Atmosphere was pretty good.

Bar Basquiat is one of the best places to go for easy food and after work drinks. Terrace wins all of Amsterdam Oost.

The service and atmosphere were created by the security guard at the door, every time you wanted to light something he was ready. Top service, great evening!

Great place for a drink. Nice terrace! Well priced. I didn't think the food was special, it was ok.

The cheesecake was gone, but that must be a good sign. Then I had the red velvet cake. This one was delicious!

Amazing place, with such a good food and nice cafe and beer, I really recommend ❤️

Delicious lunch, good atmosphere.

Nice bar and very attentive waiters. Many types of beer and tastier cocktails.

My visit to Bar Basquiat in Amsterdam unveiled a burger experience that exceeded all expectations. The bar has a cosy ambiance and inviting atmosphere. Upon arrival, We were greeted by a waitress who radiated friendliness and politeness. Though her name escapes me, I recall it starting with a "D." Now, onto the star of the show: We had the Cheese Burger with Bacon. The patty was flawlessly seasoned, moist, and cooked to perfection. However, what truly captured my attention was the struggle of the bun to contain the burger's juiciness. Far from being a flaw, this only added to the burger's allure, making each messy bite all the more enjoyable. Bar Basquiat has undoubtedly earned its place as a culinary must-visit in Amsterdam. Beyond the delectable food, it's the warm hospitality of the staff, particularly the waitress with the elusive name, that adds to its charm. Whether you're a local or a traveller passing through, a visit to Bar Basquiat promises a memorable gastronomic experience coupled with genuine hospitality.

Staff very accommodating and food was of a very high standard. We came for breakfast and enjoyed it so much we came back the very next day.

One star for atmosphere & one star for friendly staff. The food was absolutely disappointing and overpriced compared to better alternatives in the same street. I wouldn’t recommend or come here again.

Lovely place, delicious food and great and above all nice service!

Fijne plek om te lunchen en te borrelen. De gerechten zijn zeker niet standaard. Allemaal verrassende smaken. Ook goede muzieksmaak hebben ze

Hidden gem in the east of Amsterdam

This is a really excellent place to grab something to eat. So good, in fact, we paid two visits to it during our recent four-day stay in Amsterdam. Our first visit was for a late lunch, where had sandwiches (beef and pork belly) and fries. Both were really tasty and the fries portion was spot on. A couple of days later we popped in for breakfast (scrambled eggs on toast, and a Croque Madame) and no complaints again. We would gone for a further breakfast on our last morning if we had left our hotel in time. We thought about going in late one evening but headed home instead. The place looked lively, though. A good selection of beers, wines and cocktails are on offer. All of the staff we met on both of our visits were incredibly friendly and nicely chatty.

Nice cosy atmosphere and good beer!

Myself and my partner had a delicious meal there tonight. The cheeseburger and sticky tempeh bowl were both delicious and the fries were perfect. We were served by Joel who was incredibly accommodating and made our night a delightful one.

Endroit super pour un brunch matinal

great bar in the Indische neighborhood!

Great food and drinks! The service is a little slow, but other than this everything is really great here.

I might be biased, as this has become my local bar, but I love it. The bartenders are incredibly experienced and talented, and the servers are super efficient and charismatic. The chefs are awesome, too! The cuisine is a mix between Asian and some Dutch bar snacks. Honestly, I've been coming here for 3 years, and I've NEVER been disappointed.

always a pleasant visit :) love the atmosphere

Echt heel erg overpriced. Vooral het eten. Wel gezellig

Gezellig café aan een centrale straat in Oost. Gezellig personeel en een goede keuken. Enige jammere is de hoeveelheid auto's dat hier langskomt of geparkeerd staat

Food is good but for the price it is really not enough. Bar staff are friendly and there are good cocktails and beers but the reason i always come back is the vibe.

Lekker op het terras gezeten, gegeten en gedronken. Prima service, Rice bowls waren lekker (sticky tempeh en dorade). Bier van brouwerij 't ij gedronken

Noche de sábado con muy buen ambiente. Comida buena aunque todo era picante 😅 Buen servicio

Great staff and tasty food. Cant fault it!

Peculiar establecimiento, agradable sorpresa, ambiente bueno, personal amable. Para volver. Recomendable.

really good nachos and nice to go with friends:)

Simpatico, informale. Panche nel dehor molto basiche. La cucina asiatica non delude ma non rimane impressa. In effetti e più un bar per far tardi con gli amici, in cui puoi mangiare cucinato. Hanno anche la Ipa analcolica. Buoni i bitterbolen, palline fritte locali. Servizio giovanile attento e sollecito. Conto nella media di Amsterdam, simile a Milano.

Prima tent! Redelijk uniek voor Amsterdam: goede bediening

Friendly staff and a delicious passionfruit martini. The food offered is a light fare, like small-plate/ appetizers. I gave 4 stars because the service can be slow, especially on the Terras and the music inside can be drowningly loud.

Great scrambled eggs. Lovely service. Outside dining was fun.

Was gezellig maar vult nauwelijks en is best duur het eten was een beetje smaakloos wel heel aardige bediening en leuke plek

I went there with a big group of friends. They had sitting outside but it was full so we sat inside on Saturday evening. The bar is nice. They have plenty of options. We just ordered some drinks as we went there after dinner. The atmosphere was nice. They also have toilet.

Great new place in Amsterdam East. Another formula of the Three Wise of the East 😉. Nice food and drink selection for a decent price. Great staff and a good location with a nice terrace.

Eet de Croque Madame, potverdomme lekker

Eggs are tasty and fulfilling, and anytime is a good time to have a drink with friends here.

Eten weet ik niet dus 5 sterren. Wel prijzig; eiwitje van Brouwerij t IJ €5,75

Betaalbaar, lekker en leuke bediening!

Nice friendly service and the draft Heineken was fantastic! Would recommend anyone that’s in the city to try this place out!

Dit is een leuke plek met dito terras in de Indische buurt. Echter de koffie werd lauw opgediend. Dit was ook geval bij het eten zoals rendang die ook zo werd opgediend. De bediening was vriendelijk.

Hemos comido delicioso! Hemos encontrado el sitio por casualidad y nos hemos quedado sorprendidos, la comida es variada. Pedimos nachos, crunchy balls, cheeseburger, edamames y baobun, todo muy bueno. Es el primer dia de nuestra visita en Amsterdam, muy probablemente repetiremos. La camarera muy simpática y hablan inglés.
