KABAB House in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. The place was unhygienic, with dirty tables and an overall unpleasant atmosphere. The manager was extremely rude and spoke to us in a disrespectful way, even yelling across the room multiple times. It was uncomfortable and unprofessional, and it completely ruined our meal. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I would give zero star but there is no option. We ended up going to this place at 11pm as no other places were open. The owner was taking the order and was noisy the whole time. Very loud and annoying and the place did not feel clean. The food was very dry with no flavour. The guy/owner charged us 7euros extra with no explanation and was asking for cash despite me telling i want to pay by card. Ignore this place if u can. This guy will definitely take advantage of u if u are a tourist and especially drunk and hungry late at night.

Best shoarma place in Amsterdam! We tried some around the area, but none came close to how delicious their wraps and food were. It was fresh and flavorful, we were savoring every bite. The customer service is also great. I wish i had tried this spot the first day we arrived. Until next time!

Ah yes halal food caressed with fresh smells of refer from next door.

Poor food, low quality, outrageous prices. I saw a lot of dirt and mess. Prices are way too high. Rude staff trying to rip people off. You deserve to go bankrupt and shut down forever

The worst döner kebab I've ever had!!! Don't eat here at all. I'll report this place. They don't accept card payments, you only have to pay cash. And you order something else, and they bring you something different. Then they blame you. If you're reading these reviews, definitely don't go to this restaurant!!

It is forbidden to eat a star in view of the bad food and you feel old and a scam. You pay extra and you tell them one thing and they bring you something else under the pretext that you did not say exactly what you want. They listen to how the body is and you have to pay more.

We took 2 wraps for takeaway. Price is OK and service very fast and food OK

It was the worst doner shawarma I've ever had!!! It's not clean. They will overcharge you when you order. Definitely don't eat from here. Also, what they give you, isn't even chicken, it's just greasy. Chicken is already cheap in this country! Do your job properly! I'm going to complain about this place. Also, they don't take credit cards. Only cash!!

This is the worst kebab shop i've ever eaten in, they are racist arabs who discriminate bengal people!!! Never eat there!!!

0.5 liters of Coke €3.95 I had a stomachache the next day; the plates weren't nicely arranged. Tourists are being robbed here...

Don't understand the bad reviews. Yeah sure it's not the best place. The food is decent, portion size is normal. Prize is reasonable. Food is halal and they didn't play music which was important for me and my wife. Place itself isn't anything special. Wouldn't say it's the best looking nor that it's the worst, average imo. We didnt wait long for our food (under 10 min) and the staff was welcoming and nice to us. Would recommend this place for a quick meal.

We visited this place around July 2025. We ordered only dish and a soda for our dinner. The portion was enough for two people. The cook/chef and the server were very nice, gave us recommendations, we ordered it with their recommendation. Food was very delicious.

The food was not appetizing and was not cooked (cooked or grilled) well. The meal was served to us and we replaced it. Unfortunately, the food was not delicious.

The floor is dirty the way a train station cafe looks If you know these style of places you know the food how it tastes. The shoarma kabab has cheese and jalapenos in it, which you can opt out of. The price is structured with french fries and drink equaling more than the wrap. A napkin is 1 Euro. I was denied food because I would not buy into the drink or french fry scam. I'd honestly never eat here again. Who wants to pay €38 for 2 wrap of some stale meat shavings hydrated with a dirty old water bottle,salad, box fries, and warm drink?

The worst Arabic restaurant in Amsterdam. The staff are Egyptian. They eat while your food is being prepared. The atmosphere is very disgusting and the food is very bad. I do not recommend it at all.

To avoid, I do not recommend it, the boss was unpleasant and the restaurant was not clean even though there was no one there. The prices were high for nothing. It was really a bad experience, I repeat once again "TO AVOID!!!".

I ordered a kebab, the guy insulted me and his colleague in Arabic. Burnt bread, cold meat, no sauce, just like respect for the customer. Never again. I got food poisoning after eating there.

Worts food that i have ever tried, rippp of your money. DONT COME TO THIS PLACE

I went in to get a table as my family were coming and we were waiting and the worker said if our family didn’t come he would give the table for someone else and so we just left as they would be a while. Horrible service and that guy did not have the right to do something like that 😤

Nice, clean, affordable and in a central location.

This restaurant is worse! Very dirty and disgusting. Don’t waste your money. You can only use their toilets if you want as it close to the train station but not the food. I had the worse experience.

Disrespectful owner/staff. The owner starts shouting at the customers even with small kids. He did it right infront of us with two families and a lady who was alone with the kids. Not recommended!

Very, very, very bad. I do not advise anyone to go there. It is the worst restaurant. We paid 97 euros and the food was not worth more than 10 euros. 🤢🤢🤮

Terrible, don’t got here. Very expensive, ordered a kebab and paid for it, then decided to dine-in and get a can of coke, charged an extra €7.90 for “service” (what service??) and the can of coke, not worth it, you can eat somewhere nice for same price rather then being ripped off by these guys.

Bad vibes all around. Tourist trap. Upsold, poor food hygiene went straight from smoking to handling food without handwashing. Do not go here. Ripoff!

“The man was rude and had no hygiene when preparing the wraps. We asked for takeaway, but they gave us the shawarma unwrapped. The menu outside said €9.95 for one shawarma with fries, but they charged us €6 more. AVOID!this place! They make the food in a disgusting way.

REALLY AVOID EATING THERE. The owner tried to rip me off, and the food is really poor quality.

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.

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

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

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!!

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

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!

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

The best place to become sick 🤢

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.

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😍

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

You have to try the taste of this wonderful place

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

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

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.

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

Food was great loved the sauce options!

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

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...
