Lebanese Restaurant in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

Babaganous was fantastic, delicious! Kebab was also tasty, but the portions were small. Salad was included, but it was cold, probably straight from the refrigerator. Bread and toum were also delicious, but I'd rather not have fries with kebab (understandable considering the cost, but...). Rice or bulgur are better options. We also ordered lamb chops, but they were overcooked and a bit tough. Baklava, you don't eat with whipped cream! Service was poor; the waiter probably spoke neither English nor Dutch, and communication with her was impossible, yet we were helped by someone else. In short, the food was delicious, but the price is generally too high.

Hi . I’m Fatmah from Kuwait 🇰🇼 I loved this place and I enjoyed the food and the hospitality there too the service was amazing and food taste so good ❤️❤️

The restaurant is absolutely delicious and the service is excellent. I want to thank Yara for her kindness and good taste. Try the mixed grill, tabbouleh, and hummus; they're all so good! 😋😋

The food is amazing, the staff are very friendly, and the chicken and meat are halal. ✌️🇲🇦😘

We tried the grilled meats, they were delicious and tender, and the kibbeh was amazing. Everything there is delicious, and of course, the staff are very friendly and the service is fast. I recommend you eat there if you ever come to Amsterdam.

A very good Lebanese restaurant in the heart of the touristic district of Amsterdam. I gave one star less for food as I think the koftas in tomato sauce should have it as sauce while what I got was so watery it resembled more a tomato soup. However the taste was still there, but I preferred to mix the meet with the labneh leftovers from our appetizers to give it not only a bit more flavor but also moisture. The meat was spot on, the labneh was creamy and delicious. The local Lebanese bread was great as well.

Delicious food at a great price in Amsterdam. Authentic Lebanese cuisine in the heart of Amsterdam in a cozy atmosphere.

Just had an amazing meal! From the starters to the main courses, everything was delicious. The food was bursting with flavor and tasted incredibly fresh. The staff were also super friendly and made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for some great Lebanese food شكرا بزااااف بزاااف 🙏🏼🤍

Second time coming here for dinner in our trip and it is delicious. We ordered the kofta meshwi twice as it was very very good. Also got the spice Lebanese salad, again just hit the spot.

Brilliant Lebanese (actually run by lovely Syrians). Excellent value and large portions. We are Veggies and lots of choice - and very quick service. We went 2 nights in succession. Do visit

We went to the restaurant based on its Google rating. The food was delicious and filling, and the portions were very reasonable for the price. The service was excellent, and the place had a warm and inviting atmosphere. ✨ I highly recommend visiting it.

Amazing food and super friendly!!

Really good food but the service is almost zero effort. No smiles. Not welcomed at all

Honestly, this restaurant is absolutely fantastic. My order was a mixed grill and it was delicious, thank God. It's definitely worth it! 👌

Honestly, this is one of the most delicious restaurants I've ever tried. Even though I'm not usually one to repeat a restaurant when I travel, this one compels you to come back more than once. And the staff are so sweet, may God bless them! ❤️

This restaurant is absolutely amazing! I've been there three times. Honestly, it's the best restaurant in Amsterdam. And Gabi is the nicest person I've met in the Netherlands—a wonderful, always smiling person. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have been coming to Dabka every time I am in Amsterdam since 18 years; it is always so tasty and the staff is so nice. Thank you so much!

The best Arabic restaurant in Amsterdam! I tried the grilled meats, hummus, and fried kibbeh. A restaurant you'll want to go back to again and again.

The hummus and Lebanese bread were a great starter. Kebab, kofta and shishtaouk were perfectly done - chicken and lamb were moist and juicy. Everything was delicious! Make a reservation - you won’t be disappointed.

We ordered hummus, Arabic bread, kibbeh, and lentil soup, and they were all delicious.

Excellent place, the most delicious Middle Eastern food I've ever tasted. The staff were hospitable and respectful, and despite the touristy area, I was surprised by the very reasonable prices.

The food was delicious, and the staff were respectful and their service was excellent. I ordered shish tawook, fattoush, falafel, spicy salad, and lentil soup—everything was delicious, and I've gone back more than once.

The food is delicious and the ingredients are fresh. The staff are very friendly and hospitable.

I ordered shish tawook, a mixed appetizer, soup, and tea. The items were delicious, and what was great was the staff, especially Abu Daaboul. He was incredibly helpful and cooperative. I had a personal problem outside of the restaurant, and he stood by me. He was truly amazing. Thank you to him.

Just had some amazing Lebanese food and I’m honestly impressed! The flavours were so fresh and authentic — from the perfectly seasoned mix grilled everything was spot on. The portions were generous, the service was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’d go back to. Highly recommend it if you’re craving real, delicious Lebanese cuisine

The food is absolutely delicious and the portions were very big. We particularly enjoyed the lentil soup, the fouls with falafel, the kofta meshwi. The owner is very nice and gave us a small spoon to share food with our toddler and also gave her a lollipop. All in all an nice experience. We will come back!

One of the best Lebanese restaurants. The service is excellent, and the food is very clean and delicious 👏🏻👏🏻

During our stay in Amsterdam for work, we went to eat at this typical Lebanese restaurant. The food was truly excellent, perfectly spiced and not too hot, with traditional music playing in the background and a very warm and welcoming atmosphere given the cold temperatures. The lady and gentleman who served us were extremely kind! They even stopped to ask us where the food was from and greeted us outside with a handshake! We will definitely be back next year! Congratulations!

It is a good mediteranean restaurant, located in the city center, and in the summer they have a nice outdoor seating. Meats are good and they have a good fresh bread made on the spot. They have also excellent service.

Today we had lunch at the Lebanese restaurant DABKA, a very nice place near the central train station. The staff was very welcoming. The chicken was excellent, and the falafel was very good for a reasonable price. Keep up the good work, it's perfect! It should also be noted that the bread is made in-house, whole wheat with less salt and sugar.

A lovely Lebanese restaurant with good food.

Disappointment with the mains but happy with the starters. Was not really the best Lebanese food I had. The grilled meat was dry. The service and the atmosphere is OK but a bit too warm inside.

My favorite Lebanese restaurant. The food is delicious and the portions are fair for the price. I love the falafel, which is very well made and not oily. The chicken kebab is also excellent and of good quality. I only have praise for this place.

best arabic food in amesterdam, taste is just 10

It was the most delicious meal I’ve had in a long time. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. The atmosphere is warm and friendly without being overly effusive. An excellent time was had by my party.

I really enjoyed my meal. It was a good portion and it was very tasty as well. The place is nice and cozy, a few steps away from the central station so it's easy to reach too. A good balance between price and quality. I shall return!

Beautiful, wonderful, excellent

I had high expectations for my recent visit, especially after making a reservation in advance to secure a seat. Unfortunately, this visit was quite disappointing compared to my previous excellent experience. Upon arrival, all tables were already taken, and I was assigned to a very uncomfortable table on the lower floor, directly next to the kitchen. It seemed to be the only table down there and, judging by the clutter around it (cleaning equipment, ashtrays, etc.), it’s normally not used for guests. The table wasn’t even properly set when I was seated, which did not make for a welcoming start. Since I was hungry, I decided to stay. I ordered the mixed grill plate with rice and a soup. The soup was delicious, though not visually appealing. Unfortunately, the main dish was quite disappointing. I had ordered rice, but the dish initially came with fries instead. While rice was brought after I asked, it was frustrating as I don’t like fries at all. The rice itself was good, but the meat was dry and not properly warm. Because the restaurant was completely full and clearly understaffed, it was almost impossible to get anyone’s attention to raise a complaint or order another drink. After my initial order, no one checked on me again, which was especially frustrating given my awkward seating location. Overall, this visit was a letdown. I strongly recommend that reservations only be accepted when a proper table is available and when the restaurant can handle the number of guests without compromising quality and service.

A very excellent Lebanese restaurant. It is rare to find the same taste, quality and quantity in Europe in general. I recommend visiting it, and it is undoubtedly one of the main options in Amsterdam.

1st time eating Lebanese food but not the last. Very tasty. Great service. Well worth a visit.

Amazing stuff, no comment. Try the meze plate please!

The food is very mediocre and the prices are astronomical; even a piece of bread costs 5 euros. There are better and nicer restaurants with reasonable prices.

The perfect place where someone can eat safe and delicious 😋 food. Amazing staff and place Thank you

The food was delicious and the staff was very nice and attentive.

The ambience, back ground photos, music and hospitality are indeed Lebanese. The food portions are great and delicious… absolutely loved the fresh bread and the aubergine with yogurt appetiser, we had grilled options… delicious as expected.

On a small note, I wish the volume of Arabic songs would be louder because it creates atmosphere. Low volume creates a boring atmosphere.

Amazing. We loved our meal, it was very generous. A lot of vegetarian options

Enjoy the ceremony of Lebanese food with mystical sitting on waterfront river Don't miss Kanafa with pistachio

Overpriced but excellent service

Their food is delicious. We tried the grilled meat, shish tawook, fattoush, and hummus. 10/10. The service was great from the male and female employees. I recommend it if you want to try Lebanese food.

We went to eat there in the evening, four people first, three more later. When they arrived, the table next to us was occupied. The waiter almost immediately asked the couple sitting at the other table if they could move. They did and we had a great evening with delicious Tabouleh and Baba Ganoush and more. Perfect service, food and ambiente right at the water.

The restaurant food is very delicious, the service is 100%, and Mr. Abu Daboul is very funny.

I’m from Germany and on a short trip to Amsterdam: Wonderful location, even in October – a unique place to relax. It was my first time eating Lebanese food – and definitely not the last! The food was simply delicious, wonderfully tasty, and the service was very friendly. All in all, a great experience. Thank you! I’m from Germany and on a short visit to Amsterdam.

The mezze mix was very tasty, full of flavor, and filling. Hummus was the best. Make sure to order bread to go with it. The kebab was great, rice was well seasoned, meat was tender and salad was fresh. Seating was comfortable and plenty of options inside and outside.

Stumbling upon Dabka during our vacation in Amsterdam was an unexpected and delightful surprise. Finding an authentic Lebanese restaurant so far from home felt like discovering a hidden gem.

So good! Just arrived after a week of Irish & Swedish food. Lovely grilled meats, salad, exceptional chips with friendly service and lovely setting by the canal. It was great

Great service, location. Food, price, classic Pepsi it was great experience.

Delicious and thank you for the quality and speed of the order

May God bless them, the food is of high quality.

They served bread to my friend who's gluten intolerant

Delicious food, ample portions. The meze appetizer is truly fantastic. Friendly service, very fast (a bit too quickly after the main course). Foul Moudamas and Falafel were delicious and more than enough. The mixed grill was also nicely seasoned (the beef skewers could be a bit more rare).

Beautiful spot to sit on the canal with delicious food

Very excellent restaurant, God fearing and honest

We visited twice during our stay and were very happy and satisfied. Unfortunately, we only have photos of our starters. There were also two main courses, beer, and raki.

Nice, I got hummus and mixed grills from them.

I recommend it to everyone. The food is very delicious, especially the grilled food. I thank Abu Daboul, a very nice person, and all the restaurant staff.

The food at Dabka was good and delicious. The atmosphere was friendly—I'd be happy to come back.

The restaurant, location, and food quality are excellent. We ordered a delicious, large shish tawook. I loved the lentil soup. The prices are above average, but it's worth it. On a second visit in the morning, we tried the falafel, fried eggs, hummus, and tea for breakfast. The eggs were excellent, especially with warm bread.

One of best restaurants I have ever tried! Delicious food., amazing team they are friendly and kind . The place is amazing.

Great Lebanese food and authentic just like back home. The portions are generous and the owner is often there which is always a great sign! We ordered hummus, tabbouleh, moutabbal and mixed grill.

Avoid at all cost! VERY RUDE WAITERS! THEY CHAT BETWEEN THEMSELVES WHILE YOU WAIT! HORRIBLE!!!!!! I LEFT WITHOUT ORDERING ANYTHING

Delicious Lebanese food with many vegetarian options.

They are very cheerful and helpful, and the food is delicious. May God bless them ❤️❤️

A classy place and a very beautiful restaurant, especially Yara, she is very sweet🤍

Been here 3 times. Very delicious authentic Lebanese food, great atmosphere with Arab music in the background.

Small but very cozy place, very good food. Top service. They have both indoor and outdoor seating.

The best Babaganoush in ages !!! Great service , delicious food and easy to reach location

The Food is pretty good, but the treatments and behaviours were pretty bad, it did not feel like a welcoming place, once we were in, the owner was very rude talking to us in a very rude manners, unlike the known respectful welcoming hospitality in middle eastern restaurants. He got even more angry when we asked if the food is halal, which I guess by the reaction, that it was not needed to be reacted to it that extent of anger, which tells me that food is not halal obviously, otherwise he would show some understanding. We were confused of why the service was this bad and rude, that even when we ordered the food, we felt like they want to fight more than just a normal service, they serve the dishes where ever it goes, not respecting or asking who order what, so we were handling it, it was not a big deal but with the rude manners it is necessary to mention, in other places you will see a very friendly hospitality as well as good food, and Hala certificate if needed. So it is quite pretty sad to go through this experience when all we wanted is to be in a Lebanese vibes restaurant.

I had the best Lebanese food there and the staff are very friendly and Mr. Abo Daboul gave us a delicious cappuccino, they are really cool

The best Lebanese food I have ever eaten in my whole life …. And they are the most friendly staff and the owner abo daboul is so friendly and welcoming … highly recommended

Delisuous lebanse food and kebaps for relatively good price. The abience is nice, but it is not much spacious. You can also sit outside. As a note, they improve their falanlar ;-).

Every single dish was complex, delicious, well presented, filling. Absolutely perfect. Service was fantastic and the food came almost immediately. And we did not feel rushed. Reminded me of the food I ate in Beirut, absolutely perfect

In alleys full of burger joints and steak houses, Dabka shone through and delivered a authentic Lebanese cuisine. Highly recommend 👌

The food was really delicious. Tastes like warm home made food. Super enjoyed the meal. Thx

We had just arrived in Amsterdam craving a healthy meal after airplane food. On a charming side street in Amsterdam, we came across this restaurant. We were welcomed in, and the server helped us order. Everything (grilled chicken, two salads, pita bread, and hummus) was delicious and hit the spot. We also enjoyed the Lebanese beer. Highly recommend. If we lived here, this would be one of our regular places to eat:

Got randomly there on my last day of stay and was the best! Super delicious food (vegetarian options) and definitely the best meal I had in the city. 100% recommend.

The restaurant is beautiful...the service is even better. They are very nice. The kibbeh is delicious (grilled and fried). The grilled chicken, tawouk, and lamb taste good. The hummus is delicious. The bread comes hot and freshly baked.

Sitting outside alongside the water is great, typical for Amsterdam. The food is traditional Lebanese, tasty and comforting food. Drink an Almaza or a good Lebanese wine. The owner is from Zahlé, can highly recommend the eggplant and yogurt. Tasty freshly backed bread (whole wheat), so diabetic proof :)

Restaurant by the canal we sit outside after coffeeshop chilling food is great recommend

The food is good but not tasty. The place is hot and stuffy. It's better to sit outside. The service is good.

We loved Dabka so much, we went twice during our stay in Amsterdam. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavor — it honestly tasted just like what my grandma used to make every weekend. Warm, comforting, and full of love. Highly recommend!

Delicious food and excellent service. The food is a bit expensive, which is normal in Europe, especially if it is Arabic.

Great food, service and location

Delicious food, friendly staff! We felt very welcome, definitely recommended!

The food is delicious and the service is excellent.

Amazing food, everything was delicious!!!

The quality of the food was very average. We ordered the mixed plate with rice, but what was really unpleasant was the cold attitude of the middle aged lady taking the order, who didn’t even offer a smile

Walking past, we decided to eat, and it was a good idea. I'd always heard that Lebanese food was delicious, and everything was truly delicious.

Lovely atmosphere. Excellent food.

Beat Lebanese restaurant, the food was amazing.
