KABAB House in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

Open late night. There is a choice of lamb or chicken. I like the atmosphere here. The floor is dirty the way a train station cafe looks. There is an old man working the grill knowing exactly the rite way by intuition. If you know these style of places you know the food has the taste to it. The shoarma kabab is of soft wrap with not so creamy consistentsey with fresh vegetables. The meat is also very savory like train station cafe style. It is my favorite style and are very clean eating. The other dishes were also very presentable and inviting displayed as the master cooks assemble them.

The food is not good and has no taste

Totally bad experience. Paid extra amount for table service, even for drinking water. Don't go there anymore.

Payed extra euro for table service. extremely unsatisfied experience with this restaurant. Watch out!!!

Wrost experience ever..don't go there..

The treatment is very bad, the food is old, the falafel is frozen, the food is inedible, and the price is very, very, very high for this food. I also lost my bag and came back and did not find my AirPods in the bag, which means I will have to talk to the police. I do not advise anyone to try the food. I had not finished my food yet, and he came and took the food from in front of me.

We had an absolutely disastrous experience at Kabab House. It's simply a rip-off and a disgrace to fast food. Not only were the tacos the worst I've ever eaten (extremely poor quality meat, disgusting taste), but the owner also ripped us off by charging us for completely unjustified extras, like "cheese" that came out of nowhere. When we pointed out the error on the bill, he became incredibly aggressive. Paying 16 euros for such a culinary insult and such service is unacceptable. Avoid this place at all costs if you don't want to be disappointed and ripped off.

The guy was very rude. I was looking for quite corded to work a bit, and was asked to leave… that’s very rude.

AVOID! It's disgusting, disgusting, super expensive, and a scam to boot, with extras from who knows where they come from. The worst kebab in Amsterdam, and even the worst of my entire life! A disgrace. Close up shop and change careers! Honestly, he's lucky we have to give it one star!

Avoid at all costs!!! Disgusting meat, and I mean it carefully. The owner is dishonest and inflates the prices when it's time to pay. By the way, Google should offer a negative star rating option. The most absurd thing is that such places exist.

Big scammer. Not delicious and not fresh. You can’t pay with your cards!!

😡 WARNING! Worst experience ever! This restaurant is an absolute disaster! The food they served was not just disgusting, it was spoiled and smelled rotten — do they not care about people’s health?! It’s honestly shameful that they operate like this, using low-quality, fake ingredients and ripping customers off. I strongly warn everyone: stay away! Don’t waste your money, your time, or your nerves here. Total disappointment

We were served quickly, the portion was generous and delicious... 2 shawarmas and 1 soda for €32. I left smelling fried but with a full stomach and a happy heart.

Insane prices for small portions. They rip off their customers. The food isn't fully cooked and is simply served uncooked. The worst place in Amsterdam. Please avoid this place.

I gave one star because I can't give less, the dishes are not substantial at all, and not very good at the exorbitant prices. Avoid

Bad experience... a €15 dish that reflects neither the quantity nor the quality that it should... I advise you to go steal or scam and leave the cooking to the chefs

Just arrived in Amsterdam. A question must be answered immediately, can they brew a wicked durum?! They prove difficult for the little biks we find in the alley. I remembered the price of the animal to be a small 7€. It's an okay price, but not for this size. Usually a durum is an arm, this is not an arm. There are fries, but these fries weren't crispy, and my traveling companion gave me the rest of his as they didn't whet his appetite anymore. In general, the durum was delicious, but simply too small, and not enough vegetables/dressing in it. I'm a velogmark Copenhagener, and like them a little fresh. #BobogPerpåtur

The shawarma was not good. And be ready to get overcharged - over 15 euros for a wrap. AND be sure to bring cash or get harassed for using a credit card.

Hands down, Best Döner in Europe

Better throw your money on the street than spend it here; it was not tasty and also too expensive for such a sandwich you pay almost 15 euros, so I really don't recommend it, it was terrible for us.

Dirty!! Can’t be halal it’s life threatening ! Please someone call authorities!I have eatten there with kids and spent the entire night afraid something would happen to them. Litteraly the dirtiest place i ve seen my entire life!! And insist I pay cash , the food was expensive and horrible. When i went to the toilet i almost throw up too bad saw it at the end otherways i would have immediately walked away. It’s life threatening i hate to leave bad comments but i leave it since it’s unsafe !!!! Halal they have said when did dirty food was halal ???? I m still scared something would happen to us because wéve eatten there!!

What a horrible experience! First, I got coerced into sitting on a bigger table. We were group of 4. We were then asked to move to accommodate another family. Constant miscommunication with the order. After multiple corrections again, the wrong order was brought. Chicken instead of lamb shwarma. Then the waiter said they were out of lamb. Suddenly, lamb was available again. After eating, I found it was not pure lamb but pieces of chicken mixed with some lamb. Overcharged for drinks. Cramped seating. Cracked crockery. Ripped off......the food might be Halal, but the customer service and quality certainly is not!

We hadn't finished eating when we received a receipt, I ordered shashlik, but it was very burnt. I had to pay a service charge, something I have never experienced before A Fanta almost 4 euros! I was standing at the cash register when he said: no PIN / while the machine was next to it // He said cash only/so communicate in English language, I understand he doesn't want to pay transaction fees or taxes but he shouldn't screw people! Report to tax.nl

I took a plate of shawarma with kebab and the shawarma was very bad and all salt and when we told him he said you didn't say chicken? From the beginning of the order he is supposed to say chicken or meat and there is no meat skewer at all and the worker I speak to him in Arabic and he does not understand it and I hear him humming in Arabic. Honesty will not be repeated.

The owner was rude, we were not allowed to sit down unless we also bought a drink and they gave me a durum with meat after I ordered a falafel wrap. I would not recommend eating here

I ate at your place and after eating, I paid you by card and you told me that the process was not completed and I paid again. After the end of my trip in Amsterdam, I entered my account and found that I paid twice and was withdrawn twice. I spoke to the bank and they said we do not have a solution. You must talk to the store owner. I am asking you to return my money, 19.85 euros, on 04/10/2025.

The best place to become sick 🤢

I was walking by and saw their tasty looking menu and decided to give it a try! I was so pleased with the food and service that i decided to give a review and honestly could not understand all the bad reviews people are posting. I say give the place a try and you will see for yourself. Enjoyed every bit and will come back as a regular!

A halal kebab shop. Food tastes good but you must it when still hot. If you take away and eat it when it is cold, the meat will get tough. Service...the owner is not that friendly, but he serves quite fast. Atmosphere...dont expect much from such a small shop. Price wise...10€ for a shawarma... I dont know.

Very bad place, food not good, portion small and very expensive

Very delicious food and so close to the central and lovely people definitely recommend it😍

Rude owner, conveniently no prices listed outside, dirtiest place i’ve ever seen They refused to tell us what kind of meat was in the sharba Asked where the bathroom is and was told off Had to follow another costumer (local) who spoke arab, to find out where it was I had to pay 5€ for a small plate of chips, that’s theft Poured myself a ton of garlic sauce in an empty bottle on my way out, eye for an eye Inshallah tanzil ‘alayk masa’ib

The best and cleanest food 🤍 Thank you for the good hosting

Don't come to this restaurant!! We did not check the reviews and that is why we got charged twice expensively on the drinks. For a tea they charged 3.95 euro, and for a hot water 2 euro..and those they charged 11.90 euro..

Dine here was a good experience. Shop owner give a good service. Steak was nice..next time will come again

A beautiful experience and the food is nothing short of amazing. I visit the restaurant every day. The menu is diverse and meeting the owner of the place and his hospitality is nothing short of amazing.

Got scammed Old food was served Asked for service charge and didn’t mentioned that before Very unprofessional

Very happy with the discovery. It’s good food with a generous amount. The owner was very nice and introduced us to Egyptian falafel which was so good. I highly recommend it

Place. Halal. The food is very, very delicious. And the restaurant is very, very clean. The falafel tastes delicious.

Perfect food to enjoy. It's fast and it's rich.

Amazing place nice food great hospitality

The place is beautiful and quiet, I loved the food, the people who work are good people, the treatment is ten out of ten, and the food is delicious and halal ❤️❤️

Great experience, love the food. Would definitely come here again!!!

Truly one of the best halal restaurants in Amsterdam. The owner, Hajj Fayez, is extremely polite and courteous. He is a true Egyptian hospitality expert.

The best restaurant in the Netherlands is Colha. Anyone who comes to the Netherlands should go and eat at Haj Samir Restaurant in the Netherlands.

You have to try the taste of this wonderful place

Very friendly, the food is diversified and has a good taste , I really recommend it

Eritrean people are happy to be with you 🇪🇷❤️🇪🇬

The food was really delicious. I enjoyed the food 👍🏼

The food is amazing and the workers are very nice

The best restaurant in the Netherlands, Amsterdam

The best place, the gentleman who works there is so peaceful and everyone is very pleasant.

I had a delicious meal here and it is highly recommended to eat here

The best restaurant in the area, the staff is great, the food is halal and the taste is great 😊

I recently tried the kabab roll from this restaurant Kabab House, and it was absolutely amazing! The roll was packed with juicy, flavorful kababs, wrapped in a perfectly soft and slightly crispy paratha. The balance of spices, sauces, and fresh ingredients made every bite delicious. The portion size was generous, and the roll was well-wrapped, making it easy to eat on the go. The service was also quick and friendly, adding to the great experience. If you’re craving a tasty and filling kabab roll, I highly recommend this place! Definitely coming back for more.

Honestly, a very excellent experience, excellent food, excellent service, and very good treatment. I recommend it. Everyone and the place are clean

I love the food because it is delicious and very fresh.

Food was great loved the sauce options!

The service and attention were excellent. The owner was very friendly and attentive. Recommended.

The meat had a good flavor. The gentleman made our order quickly. Note the menu doesn’t have prices listed and he asked us to pay cash.

Food was good. Good portions. They did ask for us to pay cash.

This Egyptian man, with his hand like gold, makes you a sandwich that you will not find anywhere else... fresh meat and fried potatoes in the original manner with clean frying oil, from the first elite, and everything is sweet with him. May God guide you to your intention, Pasha

The service is so-so, four of us came in to eat and couldn’t give a separate check. Moreover, they could not find out the cost of each dish separately. Portions are small, cleanliness is an issue. I don't recommend it!

Boy, what kind of dump is this? Ordered kebab and an ayran when I saw the preparation was over... I refused the food and left...

Disgusting, expensive scam! Instant soup.

Taste isn't so good and price too high

Very friendly staff, quick service and yummy!!!!!

Scam, overcharge, almost €65 for 2 kebab pancakes, fries and 4 drinks (cheese supplement but no cheese) The floor was so greasy that we slipped (this is not a joke) The only time we don't look at reviews before going to a place, too bad!

It was awful and he force you to pay cash! Don’t come here ! And also you should pay for a small sauce 2 €!!!!! So rude !

Awful experience! had a great time the first time we went, card machine working, friendly staff and it was brill so decided to come back on my birthday with my friends and it was great until they wouldn't let us pay individually, wouldn't give us a receipt and the card machine was then 'out of order' the first day i went it was 20 euro for me and my bf to get a kebab and drink each. Then when we went with my2 friends it cost us 80 euro which was crazy and no receipt, took me to a friends ATM where the mark up was ridiculous!! Avoid at all costs

A failure behind another since i got in. The guy never paid attention, my food was not what I ordered, high price invented at the moment. Food scammers. The apathy of places like this ruins your day, beware!

Arriving in Amsterdam around noon, we were very hungry, we headed for the first kebab, big mistake we should have looked at the reviews. The kebab was small, without sauce, the drink very expensive, the prices are not displayed. Honestly to avoid!!!!

That guy was kinda rude and I paid 12€ for just shawarma they asked me if I wanted cheese in my shawarma I said ja but there was no cheese ohh ja there were a few fries without sous and salt

They overcharge tremendously and might change prices while you are there. If you are a tourist in Amsterdam. Do not go there, much better places around at any time of the day.

The service was prompt, and the prices were reasonable considering the high quality of the food and experience. Overall, Nice place to visit

Really tasty kebabs, real lamb meat not mix of everything called “doner”. Good service and friendly workers. Really good garlic sauce which is not often to experience.

Kabab House serves up perfectly grilled, tender kababs and delicious sides. The atmosphere is warm, and the service is excellent. The owner is an elegant man, making it a must-visit for anyone craving authentic shawarma.

Do not go here if you don't wanna get scammed ! I would rather eat pork than get "Halal" food from this guy again.

The worst experience in Amsterdam, literally no treatment, no food, and frankly a bad image of Arabic food

The food is not fresh, the taste is not good, the price is very expensive for the food and the place is not clean well.

The food could be halal, but their attitude and integrity is not. The server, who seems to be the Son of the owner, was kicking diners out as soon as they took their last bite, very miserable. I needed to use the restroom a little while after eating at this business, but the person tending the tables said that they didn't have restrooms, even though my wife had already used it. Beware, shawarma here is made of chicken. They don't accept cards, just cash. The server wanted me to leave my passport so that I could go to an ATM.

I can't understand all the negative recessions. The food was great, the owners were very friendly and took their time with every customer. The service was also very quick. It's a small but nice restaurant and you felt comfortable. It's also clean. The tables were cleared and cleaned immediately after the customers left. I recommend it. In my opinion, the prices are appropriate for a tourist area when you compare it to other restaurants nearby. You should also not forget that this is Halal meat.

It's a scam! A price appears on the menu and when you pay they add extras, a deception. They also do not accept payment by card.

No card only cash. Extremely expensive. Food not good. Only shawarma is okeyish

Dirty tent scammers might as well eat my own shit, scamming tourists inside it's dirty!!!

Wanted cash even though they had a card reader they pulled out. Asked if you wanted cheese so they can tack on 2 more euros without you realizing the additional cost. Food/service is poor and they don't treat you in a respectful manner. Shady folks. Should have read reviews before having ordered.

The food is more then perfect and the workers are super friendly its one of my most favorite restaurants.

Just tried Kabab House and WOW! Highly recommended!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just went there and it was very nice and prices were reasonable

The best shawarma place in Amsterdam

These places are all over the place. You can grab a quick and decently tasty kabab here if you'd like. I think that the price is kind of high for what you get, but you can be in and out with some food in less than 10 minutes.
