Crystal in De Weteringschans

Unfortunately, we were not satisfied with our visit. The quality of the food was not convincing, and one of us became ill after eating there. Of course, we cannot say for sure whether this was actually related to the food. However, we would like to commend the service: it was friendly and attentive. Overall, our experience was disappointing, which is why we can only give it one star.

Such a pleasant surprise to find such authentic, delicious pizza and fried chicken here in Amsterdam! Had the Margherita pizza, fries, and fried chicken this time, and everything was delicious! Everything is freshly made to order — the pizza had a nice thin, crispy crust with a great balance of tomato and cheese, the fries were crispy and well-seasoned, and the fried chicken was crunchy outside and juicy inside. The sauces were great too. Overall a great meal — will definitely be back!

The food was average but the service was terrible. I didn't like it and I don't recommend it.

The first day we went, we received excellent service. But on the second day, today, an elderly employee treated us like second-class citizens. She brought sauce to other tables even though they didn't ask for it, but when we requested it, she brought it reluctantly and with a rude attitude.

Best place to have pizza with your friends at 3am during ADE

I love this place. Have been coming for years. Still excellent

Delicious and plentiful food. Excellent service from Gino and Ahmed.

I went with my friend, communication was poor, the meat was tough and didn't taste like lamb, and I paid 11 euros for a meat sandwich with lettuce and didn't pay anything else.

I’ve visited Crystal more than once and had a very good experience each time. On my previous visit I tried the spaghetti, and this time I had the mixed grill. Both were delicious, well prepared and served in generous portions. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and it was especially nice for me as an Arabic-speaking visitor that some of the Egyptian staff speak Arabic, which made the experience even more comfortable. Good food, good service and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely a place I would come back to in Amsterdam.”

Some of the dishes are good, but the grilled items aren't the best.

Bought one lamb shoarma menu and one extra lamb shoarma for my friend, but the meat isn’t lamb meet. When asked the waiter i don’t taste any lamb meat he Said that a little shoarma is in it and the rest of the meat is Turkey/Chicken. Unvelievable and the food was really bad. We left with almost full plates and less 37 EUR😪. So on the menu Which say’s lamb meat they are lying.

My husband and I got hungry after a day in Amsterdam; it was quite late, I think around 12 pm or so. When we entered Chrystal Restaurant, we were immediately welcomed with a smile and a friendly hello. We were immediately escorted to a table and a man named Reduan came to speak to us. I was hesitating about my choice and wanted to try the Grilled Lamb Chops but didn't know what to expect. Until Reduan took me over and showed me the meat that was about to go on the grill. My husband had the mixed grill. The meat was super tasty, warm, and perfectly cooked. Truly top-notch. It's a shame there isn't a restaurant like this in Bruges. I can only recommend you. Definitely worth an 11/10. 🙏🏻

Just got today a "shawarma", from this place... it was everything but shawarma not. Just some dry full of condiments meat and half of the rap was salat... the worst shawarma I ever eated in five countryes. 😔 Lucky we didn t stop for a steak

The food is halal, their steak is good, and they are helpful.

Reccomended. Good food Good people

had the lasagna bolognese for €18-19 and IT WAS SO GOOD!! Halal restaurant btw :) The flavour was truly super flavourful + tasty, like literally the greatest lasagna i’ve had here so far!! (although I added few pinches of shredded cheese cuz my sister ordered a spaghetti carbonara)

Came here with the munchies around midnight on a Sunday, so glad they were open, the chicken skewers, truffle chicken fries, and chicken wings were perfect. Friendly staff, fresh food, definitely coming back!

Amazing shawarma and kind owner— highly recommend.

Great place for a late night munch

The food was excellent, with plenty of halal options available. The staff were extremely polite, welcoming, and super friendly, which made the experience even better. Their lentil soup is a must-try, absolutely worth it!

The best pizza in Amsterdam and the best Americano I have drank. I recommend this restaurant for people who want good quality food for a good price.

Raduan and Achmed were super helpful and very nice. The food was very tasty; alongside your kapsalon, you get several small bowls of sauce to put on it yourself!

The food was amazing and the service was very helpful. Thank you so much for the fresh food and the good experience!

20/10!!!! Would definitely recommend if you’re coming to visit! Came here 3 times on my birthday trip!! The lasagna bolognese is a must try!!!!

A truly wonderful and spotlessly clean Egyptian restaurant, may God bless it! The service is excellent and the staff are genuinely kind. I ordered chicken shawarma with bread and it was delicious. I highly recommend it if you are Arab or Muslim. Go there! 🌟 Best of luck!

It was a really delicious food. We just needed something fast so we can continue our shopping and it was our choice. There a number of tables and the second floor is for the toilet. It was quite spacious and they child wooden chair. The staff were friendly and professional. I recommend it!

Nice atmosphere, the service from Ameer was very good, he was very friendly, good prices and good quality. Personally, I liked the chicken the best, it was tender and soft, and the pizza shawarma was the best pizza in Amsterdam. Chef Saied had done a very good job.

Amazing experience Top service 1 of the best ribeye steaks Halaal food

Came here with my 2 daughters from Singapore in Nov 2024. The food is SO GOOD!!! We had Spare Ribs, Quartro Formaggi Pizza and Steak. Price is reasonable. Recommended. Halal. 👍👍👍

It's really very good and not too expensive for the quantity.

The restaurant was tried. The service was excellent. The chicken shawarma was excellent (but most of it was lettuce). The lamb chops were average. The lentil soup was excellent but too heavy; it would be better if it were lighter.

Crystal is a fantastic discovery in the city! The food is absolutely delicious, with high-quality ingredients and flavors that really impress. I loved the atmosphere of the place; it's very well decorated and has a great vibe for a nice meal. While the service was good, it could be a bit more attentive during peak times, but nothing that spoiled the experience. Overall, it’s a wonderful spot for anyone looking for tasty dishes and a comfortable environment. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Amsterdam!

Very tasty food, and incredibly clean. 5 stars from me!

Delicious and the staff are very helpful.

I visited this restaurant while passing through Amsterdam last Sunday. The lamb dish was inedible, and the waiter reluctantly agreed to replace it — but only for my sister. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this place.

I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the shawarma. Sauces were great too!

Perfect staff. Friendly. Nice. Relax.

Clean restaurant and delicious food. Thank you. Respectable people, may God grant you long life and bless you.

Shawarma meat was dry and not tasty. Service was rushed and not very respectful

We ordered shawarma and kebab. Not only was it disgusting, but the owner was extremely disrespectful, saying things like, "We're not in Germany here." The kebab was so badly rolled that everything leaked out, and the next day everyone had diarrhea. In short: a disgusting, filthy place with unfriendly staff.

Not recommended! Very unfriendly and the portions are incredibly small for the price. And the taste is just awful.

Kind people. Good food. Open till 03:00!! I liked it a lot. Pizza pepperoni is lekker

Delicious shava. A quiet, clean establishment. I've been coming here occasionally for several years now, and it's never let me down.

Delicious food and excellent service

Very nice food and staff. Raduan was a very nice guy. Calm environment. Nice place for a family.

Came here at 2am and consumed the best chicken shawarma I’ve ever had. Eating that shawarma has changed the trajectory of my life. I will be returning every time I visit Amsterdam.

Ashour is the best chief, delicious food

Very good food, excellent service, spotless bathrooms, and reasonable prices.

Amazing food. Hidden restaurant. Lamb shawarma was awesome and reasonable priced

Awful food got served chicken shawarma it wasn’t fresh at all he took it out of the freezer put in pan and in the pizza oven for 10 minutes terrible when questioned him food is fresh he goes never again avoid this place not good experience at all

Horrible experience, the worker served me and my family pre cooked shawarma which was warmed up in a pan. It looked like dog food. Would not recommend anyone to go to this place.

Worst cut of chicken I’ve had in my life. Do. Not. Order. Kapsalon. I’ve seen the other reviews but my kapsalons chicken was basically just chewy arteries, and I’m pretty sure there was a hair stuck to the cheese.

Chef Maher and Redurn had amazing energy, service and the food was amazing! Even at 1am in the morning. Food was so good!

The food is amazing. The atmosphere is relaxed, comfortable, and clean . The staff is so friendly and attentive! We had a great experience at 2am, not expecting to find a full-scale restaurant not only open but of such quality! Thank you! 🙏

Chef Maher and Chef Red offered incredible service Food was sooooooo tasty for 1:15am in the morning. I got the shawarma lamb plate. Food came out so fast too. I highly recommend.

We went to eat 4 kebabs and 1 pizza, and with almost the whole place empty, they took about an hour to make them, they came when we were about to leave. It was on the evening, we saw 3 people cooking, can't understand how they took that much to make them. Then, food is nothing out of this world, but it's kebab yk, we asked for a lamb pizza and received a chicken one, but we ate it so we wouldn't wait again. Staff wasn't friendly neither. Not recommended, don't go.

Very bad place to eat, very unfriendly

Extremely slow, a terrible place to eat. Don't come; it took them an hour to make a kebab.

They serve late, the quality is poor, and the quantity is small.

Always skeptical of places offering such a varied menu, but Crystal didn’t disappoint. Reasonably priced, and good portion sizes. Got the mixed grill and was thoroughly enjoyable. Good quality meat and very nicely spiced lamb. Attentive polite service and fast service. Quiet atmosphere with nice fish tank. Overall a nice late night gem in town.

Had a delicious meal yesterday, an American burger and a mixed grill! Super tasty and good meat, and the staff is super friendly! The seating is comfortable and cozy! Highly recommended.

Everything was delicious; of all the places we've been in Amsterdam, this is the only place where we've eaten well. The staff were very patient and friendly, and the atmosphere was peaceful. We would definitely go back!

We ate well, and for the price it did the job.

Verry good place , amazing lental soup! Good quality, fast and delicious! I love healthy food but did not have a lot of time, lentil soup is just 7 euro with bread and lemmon! If you have no time 1000 time better option than Macdonals next door!! And lovely people! You can also have a bigger diner!

I came here regulary, specially for the veal ribs, but latest price raise from 24 to 30 eur makes it totally overpriced for ribs from deep frees. Also chewy nowadays instead of the delicious tender pieces before. Service two stars, i literly asked for mayo 3 times.

I have been there for the first time few days ago and it was great experiens , The burger is juicy and test perfect the fries was crunchy and the best was the service Ameer was serving us and he made sure that the food was exactly how we asked for it .

The food and service were excellent. The place was also clean. 10/10👏

The best shawarma I've ever had! A cozy restaurant with very attentive and polite staff who make you feel like family. I'll definitely come back someday, friends. Congratulations on your work and thank you for treating us so well.

Was walking around Amsterdam late night, didn’t want to eat unhealthy, stumbled upon this gem. From attentive service to great fresh food, fresh food, fresh Shawrma meat. Absolutely delicious. Great lunch or late dinner spot to hit the nail on the head. Thank you!!

Everything was amazing and so so delicious U should visit And ask for maher and radwan to serve you

Greatest chef and waiter: mahir and ridwan i wanna come again next time!

Really great food with big portions for the price! Highly recommend

mr maher and sir riduan the greatest big portions, amazing food, kebab lamb and baklava GOATED very fast and friendly service too

Good food, great service, excellent chef. Maher and ridzuan welcome us greatly. Will definitely come again

Didn't enjoy any of it. Was seated in a tight space were people kept shoving pass us. Wrong drinks was giving to us Food took ages to come. When it did arrive it wasn't cooked so had to go bk and wait ages again the chips were disgusting The staff had no clue what they was doing.

Best kebap ever After a night out

Decent food. Good enough when your in cloud 9

The food was delicious, and the staff were very kind and attentive. Amazing place 10/10.

Good service and good food. Totally recommended

Consistently great. Bossman took care of my family and I on multiple occasions during our break away. Food was delicious and the restaurant was extremely family friendly too. Ended up eating here every day whilst in Amsterdam.

We were in Amsterdam for two days. So I can't recommend it.

2 great members of staff! Manager was not my best friend 😂. They used to have the best mixed grill & Used to be the best late night dinner in the city -today was terrible

Good food with a pleasant ambience and very budget-friendly. The ingredients felt fresh and the taste was really good. Service was friendly and the place was clean and well maintained. A big plus is that they’re open until 3:00 AM, which is very convenient. Overall, a nice spot for late-night dining in Amsterdam.

Maher provided amazing service and very attentive

The food was very good and the service was excellent. The prices seemed reasonable for that city.

Best halal pepperoni pizza I've had in a really long time. It was juicy and spicy with a great pizza base. 10/10, would come again if I'm in Amsterdam. Ahmed was also very helpful and gave great customer service, especially at 1:30 AM. Amazing work!

VERY bad experience. And the food was bad. Service is slow and really bad : they were acting really grumpy although I was always polite ordering kebab. They were so slow at making the food (burnt my pita, and seemed very unwilling to serve clients). They were UNHYGIENIC AF : no gloves, putting the bread directly on their table, retrieving the salad that has fallen on the table to put it back in my food. And they have mistaken my order : when I let them know, both of them yelled at me « this is kebab ! This is kebab ! » it was nowhere close to look like the kebab they showed on promotional pictures, when they were preparing the order I was still wondering if it was mine or someone else’s. And of course the sandwich tasted bad even though I was starving.

very good food and really friendly staff

The worst kebab/wrap I’ve ever had in my entire life. First of all, I asked for a doner wrap with fries inside. Price was €16,00 - I get it, it’s Amsterdam, but I’ve never paid that much for something like this. Without even asking what I wanted inside, the guy behind the counter just threw some lettuce and meat in it. When I asked if he could add ketchup and mayo, he literally said it wasn’t possible, closed the wrap and handed it to me. It felt like an actual scam. If I could give less than one star, I absolutely would. Avoid this place at all costs. Better to stay hungry than eat here.

always 10/10 for pasta and pizza

Went in the afternoon but the service and food are amazing. Food is freshly made and their sauce is to die for. Definitely recommend it and would return again!

The staff is very rude for no reason, very small portion of food with full fledge money

If you’re looking for a spot that brings together the best of shawarma, pizza, and halal grilled dishes, then “Crystal” is your go-to place. We tried their pizza, which had a wonderfully soft crust and delicious flavor, along with a half chicken and some chicken wings that were perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and honestly, we’d recommend anyone to stop by and taste it for themselves!

Good food and good service . Highly recommended.

Food and Peoplz are wonderful. Thankss

Very nice food and attention!! ✨ Liked the fusion cuisinee

The food is amazing, the falafel sandwich is delicious 😍

I don’t like the food !! Even the price is high 🤔 Don’t recommend at all

Good food, but overprized, i ask for kebab they make me a kind of sandwich with no meat. Come with friends, impossible to pay separatly, people rude like robots... Terrible experience

The food was delicious, but somehow we always got the opposite of what we ordered. For example, we requested macaroni instead of spaghetti due to my young niece unable to eat spaghetti. We were served spaghetti with no explanations, and when we asked, we were told that macaroni would take an hour. Also, we ordered beef kebab and were served lamb kebab. Otherwise, food was delicious.
