Hayran Shoarma in Nieuwe Pijp

Me and my friend went here late on a Friday night (17/10) after a local bar. We greeted by a really lovely and friendly waitress. She couldn’t have been any nicer. We ordered spicy mince Adana and the chicken wings. It seemed a little pricey but when it arrived the portions were huge! We were so happy as we had skipped dinner. The food was so tasty and delicious! We had such a great meal here, I’ve saved the location for next time I visit Amsterdam!

Far too expensive, but shawarma and chicken, you don't sell tenderloin and lobster but you charge such amounts

The food was so delicious that I forgot to take a picture. So, here's a picture of the tea.

I don't write reviews often, but I just had to share this. What's particularly striking about Hayran is the lack of attention and service. The staff often comes across as disinterested and distant, even to regular customers. The communication is also a bit lacking. When I called recently, they said they don't deliver, even though their website indicates they do, but only via Uber. That comes across as a bit disinterested. The interior has been renovated and looks nice, but for the prices they're charging, they could definitely use more attention and engagement. There's also something to be said about the food, but I won't comment on that. Not a positive experience for me. In short: beautiful on the outside but distant on the inside. It's a shame, because I used to enjoy coming here. Hopefully, they'll improve on this in the future, but I won't be back.

Got a durum lamb shoarma on my way home and this had to be the driest meat I have ever eaten. The only good thing were the bread and sauces.

Delicious food! Beautiful restaurant!

The servers are fantastic; they maintain eye contact with their customers and are quick to present menus and take orders. The shawarma platter is exceptionally delicious, fresh, and the plate is well-filled. Bread and sauce are served as a starter. A great spot. We made a special detour for this. It's also a quiet restaurant.

I got takeaway, was trying to find a place that did good chicken kebabs and this place had good review scores. I ordered 2 large chicken and 1 standard chicken kebabs, and a portion fries. First of all when I got them home and opened them, I realised how tiny the standard kebabs were. It’s not a portion, it was suitable maybe for a 5yr old who’s not hungry. See attached photo. Secondly there is literally nothing in the bread apart from weird bits of slightly dry meat. No sauce, no salad, nothing. Bizarre. Thirdly, it’s not chicken, it was dark brown - like over fried minced beef. Fourthly it cost just under €40. The small ones were €10, they’re worth about €5. It’s like slightly bigger than a taco. I think this was one of the worst takeaways I’ve ever had. I’m baffled by how the reviews seem overall such a high score, but it seems like that’s from years ago. I would seriously avoid, this is expensive and bad.

“This restaurant, famous for its pizza and shawarma, truly offers some of the cleanest and most delicious food in Amsterdam. With its beautifully designed interior and the warm welcome of the owners, you immediately feel at home. Definitely worth a visit to taste the amazing dishes.”

"This restaurant, famous for its pizza and shoarma, offers some of the cleanest and most delicious food in Amsterdam. The stylish interior and the warm welcome of the owners make you feel very welcome. It's definitely worth coming here and trying the food."

I think Hayran's shawarma pizza is the best. And I think they have a nice new interior.

Delicious Update 2025: They were closed for a long time, and apparently they used that time to come up with a new price list. The shawarma tastes fine, but for this price, I'd rather eat somewhere else.

Hayran Shoarma has recently been renovated and now looks very modern and well-maintained. The food is, as always, excellent. I recommend everything with shoarma, and especially the Pollo ai Funghi. In the past, I came here once or twice a week, simply because the food and service are always good. The owner is friendly and very helpful, and the restaurant itself is clean and tidy. Although the location is a bit hidden, it's often pleasantly busy in the evenings with many regulars who know the place. My advice: try it once; you won't regret it.

Delicious food in a luxurious and peaceful atmosphere

I had such a delicious shawarma for the first time in a long time. I'll definitely be back. The staff was very friendly.

Very nice place, friendly people and TOP shawarma!

Super tasty food, great service

Great food! What a beautiful place!

After visiting here with my girlfriend I had diarrhea and she had cramps all night. I spoke to the owner but he didn't take me seriously. Hopefully the people who follow me will take it seriously. (Don't jump to blackmail if I offered you an option, this is the truth and it is sometimes hard)

Great food and was worth my money once. Absurd prices but understandable in the time we live.

Today I came by for the first time after the renovation. It looks beautiful, especially the ceiling. The food was great as always. For us, pollo ai Fungi and pollo pepe verde are number 1. The children always take pizza shoarma and fries. The pizza was deliciously full of ingredients. The Turkish pide was also delicious with fresh salad. The menu is enriched with Mojito drinks! Delicious!!! Thank you Yahya abi and Hayran team❤️

Not fair! The girl behind the counter asks me if I want an extra container of sauce with the pizza, I see on the receipt that she has charged it for one euro, small fries 6.50 haha ​​what prices.

Best shoarma in Amsterdam, been coming here for years. Hadn't been there for a while but now I notice after the renovation, wow what a beautiful place it has become! Definitely recommended.

best shawarma in amsterdam has been in de pijp for years, now also renovated, very neat my favorite food includes: shawarma, turkish pizza in turkish style with real meat, kofte and the polo ai fungi definitely recommended

Hayran has recently been renovated and is finally open again. The first thing I noticed when I wanted to order something again, are the prices. When I came to eat almost 3x a week 3-4 years ago, I could still afford it with the prices. If I want to order something for me and my wife now, I almost have to apply for a loan from the bank. No matter how delicious it is, I can unfortunately only come by once a week.

1. Very tasty food, especially the oven and grill dishes, such as (chicken) shoarma special, lamb chops, oven spaghetti. 2. Dishes via delivery come with loose bread, so ask for it to be wrapped in aluminum foil, it is hygienic. For the rest they are hygienic enough. Enough seating, good audience and atmosphere. It costs a bit, but it also tastes good.

Really a very nice interior. And top quality food!! I will definitely come back

One of the best shawarma shops in Amsterdam!!

I have been coming to Hayran for the best shawarma for more than 15 years. I grew up in Amsterdam and now live near Leiden, but I will drive back for this shawarma! Currently in a temporary location, I found out, but the taste and quality are still as I have come to expect from Yahya!

Lamb shawarma is not that good, but everything else is very nice.

Sauce is reused, hygiene is not good at all, neither are prices. Based on feedback from the owner, I saw with my own eyes how the sauce was grabbed from a table and poured over all the sauces.

Temporary accommodation for one of the best shawarma tents in Amsterdam. The quality has been the same for years. Simply good!

Was great...very nice employees and great food! Extensive menu...

It has magnificent shoarmasi, the best in Amsterdam...lams shoarmasi is delicious

Quality is good and consistent, but a small shawarma sandwich of 6 by 6 cm. For 9.95 is really not okay. A large sandwich, much larger for 11.95. Is not in proportion. Smaller sandwich should be bigger or price lower, a medium size would also be nice, otherwise tasty food.

I loved the falafel!! And the sauces 🥰🥰

Food was tasty, but service terrible. Came in and said a friendly hello and asked for the card. The lady behind the counter then nodded to the stack of cards on the table and said nothing else. When we had decided what we wanted, we received a few cynical comments, mainly about the fact that it did not say what meat the shawarma was and we asked about it. "Yes, so I don't have beef anyway." Okay, do we know much? Then we are completely stared at by kitchen and front of house staff, and also laughed at. The food was fine in the end, but this is really the last time I come here.

The best shawarma and chicken wings in Amsterdam. My regular place and the food is always of the same good quality. The only downside is that it is expensive.

Tested after not having been here for almost 3 years. The place was not busy, a table of 4 was already eating. There were 4 staff members walking around, two of whom were serving. After almost 20 minutes I got up and walked to the cash register to place my order. A large loaf of shawarma. Look, I understand it all: gas, electricity, etc. are more expensive blablabla. But if you supposedly fill a large shawarma sandwich with 20 grams of flaky meat. More air and bread than meat for more than 10 euros...then it is very bad. Just as bad as when I used to pick up shawarma sandwiches in a uniform for the corona and a young lady asked a euro for an extra bowl of garlic sauce. It was scandalous and worse than ever. .

Hayran ha estado aquí desde principios de los noventa. Primeros propietarios de un par de hermanos turcos como yo vivía a la vuelta de la esquina en van Ostade Straat observando en la Iglesia de Orange. En ese tiempo se podía comer mucho shoarma por no más de 5 € Hoy en día ya son 11 €

I went here to get some Turkish t food as was so happy they gave me exactly what I wanted. Lovely place run by lovely people. The food was so good 10/10 flavour💗

One of the best shawarma places in Amsterdam for years!!

In 2003 I came here for the very first time. Since that day the taste of the shoarma was authentic and exactly the same as one hour ago. Without any competition by far the best shoarma in Amsterdam. Teşekkürler baba for having this beautiful place for all these years!

The best in Amsterdam for years

I ordered mix grill and got 5 types of meat, köfte was delicious. Owner was very customer friendly. I will definitely eat here again.

Miniature pita with meat, without lettuce, tomato, etc., for 7.95? Real? Meat is bone dry and pita is from the supermarket (the small one). Very small portion and not seasoned at all. Almost illegal to allow this.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was very warm, we were very pleased, this is the place we will come to again if we come again.

I tasted shawarma for the first time, and it was delicious. Staff was very nice and customer friendly.

Picked up a shawarma sandwich. Taste of the meat was good, but very dry. Shame.

I ordered a portion of kofte and literally received a mini piece of kofte for €5.50... really scandalous and disgusting of you!!! I have a photo of it, I can't seem to post it, but if you saw it you would be blown away! RESPONSE to Hayran: Your story is completely wrong.. you indicate 4.50 which is also a ridiculous amount and I paid 5.50. Nothing was ever said about a dish of sheer nonsense. Your reaction as a restaurant really says more than enough!

Stopped in after midnight for some late night eats and glad I did! The kefte and shoarma pitas were absolutely delicious, so much so that we went back again the next night. They pack the pita totally full, I did the spicy and garlic sauces as recommended and they go great together. Plan to bring some cash as backup if you don't have a European credit card (and maybe do a bit of pointing at what you want if you struggle with common languages) but everyone was very friendly about it. Thanks for the great food!

The location of the restaurant is in a nice place. The owner is a very caring brother. The sharma was incredibly delicious. If I come to Amsterdam again, I will definitely visit it.

staff are friendly and the food was delicious. I personally had the shawarma dish with rice. I also received delicious Turkish bread and sauce in advance. I will definitely come here again!

I just read a bad review regarding the unsanitary environment. I've been eating here for years and have certainly never experienced this. I come here precisely because the food is tasty and hygienic. Shawarma is definitely recommended!

Don't accept visa debit cards. Crowd, long wait.

You should come here for shawarma. Real lamb, and the pizzas are great.

Delicious sauce and bread in advance. Best garlic sauce in Amsterdam!!!!

Average food on the higher price range. Got a Köfte Dürum which had more salad than meat for almost 10€.

This is one of the best halal restaurant I tried in Amsterdam, highly recommended, food is fesh and delicious, service is top, and it's next one the top gelatos shops, you can try it ad well

Amazing turkish restaurant the shawarma is to die for! A must!

What a pleasant surprise! The shoarma with real pieces of soft lamb meat... Amazing! Super good and warm bread and fresh veggies. (Not your typical greasy thin slices... this is the real thing)

Het eten is echt geweldig. Absolute aanrader

I have been eating at Hayran Shawarma for years. I normally never post reviews, but I think it's worth it. I'll be very honest, I think they sell the best shawarma. Shawarma sandwich, shawarma dish, shawarma pizza, they are all not normally tasty. . Staff are friendly and owner is very nice. The price only increases over the years, but it is still worth the price. Trust me you won't regret it.

Delicious dishes, good service and reasonable prices. A shawarma sandwich is recommended, followed by a cup of Turkish tea.

Just wanted to give a shout-out to this great Turkish restaurant! Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but after I had left the restaurant and was walking down the street, I heard someone call out to me. It was the waiter - I had dropped a 5 Euro bill under the table and they had run to catch up with me and make sure I got it back! A BIG thank you to Hayran for their wonderful food and their honesty! :) (Note: if you get the pide, as I did, just make sure you wait a minute for it to cool down - it comes out of the oven HOT! But so tasty. :) )

Foods were delicious, but the hygienic conditions of the bathroom was not good. They should keep the bathroom & toilet more hygienic and clean.

Delicious food, fast and friendly service, polo funghi is highly recommended!

This shawarma is without a doubt the best! It's been a bit pricey lately. But the quality has not diminished. The staff is also very friendly. And the delivery time is 100% fair. They will tell you honestly if it is busy and it may take a little longer. And I really appreciate this. Don't underestimate the Italian pizzas from this place either.

Tasty shawarma. Well filled sandwich with lots of different sauces. Enjoy!

Tasty shawarma, well seasoned with fresh sauces. Service and Turkish tea as a treat were very attentive.

Best service ever great waiter helped me, felt like I was dining at a salt bae restaurant. 10/10 I would definitely recommend eating here.

Delicious food for a good price

It is very difficult to find a restaurant abroad that makes delicious Turkish food. This was one of those places. Lentil soup and rice pilaf were no different from those in Turkey. In addition, the portioned shawarma and shawarma pizza, grilled chicken, vegetable pizza and fries that came as a side dish were great. Be sure to pour some sauce over the shawarma and eat it. His salad was made of fresh vegetables. Above all, the operators are wonderful people. Clean, honest and kind people. I would like to thank Yahya brother again for all his interest. The place is small, but you can sit by the window and watch Amsterdam street. It looks quite cute...

Very bad service very expensive for small portion. I truely advise you not to try it at all. They shocked me with the way their service is. The lady at cashier is unfriendly at alllllll. Trust me

Great Turkish kitchen! Quality products. I really like the taste of the bread and I really appreciate the 3 sauces that come as a starter. Pizza, Turkish foods, pasta,.. Can't go wrong here. Nice people as well!

Bad tent, pay top price, don't get value for money

Fan is number 10, 5 stars. Come out, come out. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Once known as the tastiest shawarma in Amsterdam. Still tasty, but to call them the tastiest? No..

Heerlijke Shoarma , goede service

Goed eten voor zolang ik het ken

Heerlijke shoarma en snelle service de linzensoep proeft alsof mijn moeder em gemaakt heeft!

Shoarma 21 yıllık deneyim ile burada yenir

Ik kom hier al jaren.. beste shoarma ever. Broodje kipfilet mag er ook wezen. Aardige mensen, eigenaar yahya is altijd vriendelijk. Mensen die er werken ook. Oprecht niks te klagen.. hoef niemand te overtuigen.. de echte kenners kennen hayran.

Probably the best Durum Shoarma that I've had in the Netherlands yet 🤤

Wij bestellen altijd de turkse pizza en een schotel met kipvleugels, beide onzettend lekker. kipvleugels echt geweldig zeker aan te raden! Hard werkende mensen! Hadden een foutje bij bestelling heel snel het juiste voor alsnog gekregen en een exuses onzettend lief! Bedankt hayran wij komen zeker weer snel bij jullie bestellen! Zeer tevreden gasten.

The food was great. But it's a bit hot within the restaurant.

Harika lezzetler, sıcak ve samimi ortam, keyifli ve güleryüzlü çalışanlar... Amsterdam da yiyebileceğiniz en iyi et lokantası. Sahibi Yahya bey gönül koyduğu bu aile işletmesini herkes için kendi içtenliği ve sevgisiyle keyif alınan bir mekana döndürmüş. Ne mutlu ki böyle koca yürekli insanlar var. Mutlaka uğrayın...

Service en sfeer was wel oke. En eten was vers maar niet super lekker. Het valt wel mee.

Niet verkeerd… shoarma was prima 👌

Pizza tonijn was lekker Pizza shoarma niet te vreten !! Prijsvergelijk met andere pizzeria's is te duur!!!!!

19 yılı aşkındır gittiğimiz bir mekandır. Temiz güzel lezzetli yemekleri ve Güler yüzlü hizmetten dolayı çok memnunuz. İyiki Varsınız Hayran Shorma.

Wij waren met een groep van 8 personen en iedereen van het eten te zout.

I had higher hopes for this place mainly because I ate there a couple of times many years ago and back then the food, service and cost were good. I have been back twice this week and, both times, I was not as satisfied with everything like I was before. The food is OK but not worth the price you pay for it, the portions are medium for what you pay and the cold service vibe doesn't really help.

Classic Turkish kebap place. The durums are filled with quality meat. I would have liked a bit more vegetables inside but the sauces made up for it.

Nr 1 in Broodje Shoarma en Etli Ekmek

Food is great and the girl behind the counter is super sweet

Beste shoarma in Amsterdam! Vooral de sauzen super lekker!

Heerlijk om even een turkse pizza te eten. Vriendelijke mensen!

Het lekkerste shourma, kippenvleugels en lamskarbonade. Het beste waar ik heb gegeten, gewoon excellent 😍 Het is fijn dat ze lang open zijn, zo kan ik na mijn werk nog even langs gaan om eten te halen

Het is de lekkerste Shoarma tent van Heel de buurt en stad de saus is Heel erg lekker en ook Het Vlees en salade is heel lekker ik heb nooit een betere gevonden in de stad
