Lezzet Dúnyasi in Wijk 23 Nieuw West

The welcome, the taste, the quality... everything was wonderful.

Such a lovely place! It has a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere, and it’s also a perfect place to sit and study. The attention and care they show to their customers is amazing. The staff and the owners make you feel like part of the family, as if you’ve known them for years. Thank you so much for everything! If you ever find yourself in Zaandam, this is definitely a place you should visit. Highly recommended!

A wonderful breakfast is available. The place is beautiful, the reception is great, and it's worth a visit. The place is lovely, and the food is delicious and halal.

Amazing family-run restaurant in Zaandam! We stayed for 8 days and ended up having their chicken shawarma almost every day because it was genuinely that good — probably the best shawarma we’ve had. The family running the restaurant are incredibly kind and welcoming, and they always checked to make sure everything was good. On our last day, we also tried their breakfast: eggs with Turkish sausage, falafel, and Turkish tea. Everything was delicious. After eating here so many times during our stay, I can confidently give it 10/10. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This place was a godsend for us. We keep coming here day after day. Very close to our hotel and serve very delicious food. Especially the chicken doner and fries. You have to try the ayran drink as well for a sour/tangy refreshing drink. It is run by a beautiful Turkish family who are courteous and very nice. If the food gets a bit late just rest assured it is worth the wait 😋 😋 Portions are huge for the price 👍👍👍 Very easy 5/5 👌. Deserves a lot more than its current score.

Flies swarmed around, but the chicken wraps were delicious, and I ate them for four days in a row.

A lovely family-run business. The food is good, and communication is excellent. I recommend it. Especially if you're coming from Türkiye and wondering what to eat, you'll find familiar flavors.

delicious and original Turkish food.

I ended up here by chance and was immediately pleasantly surprised. What struck me right away was the excellent hygiene. Gloves are changed with every step involved in preparing food. Unfortunately, you rarely see that these days, and it really inspires confidence that hygiene is handled with such care. Furthermore, the Turkish pizzas and sandwiches are delicious and generously topped. They are absolutely not stingy with the ingredients, meaning you really get value for your money. There is also plenty of seating space to eat in peace. But what really makes this place special to me is the friendly service. You are received with incredible hospitality and feel welcome from the very first moment. A place where hygiene, quality, and hospitality come together. I will definitely be back here again. Highly recommended!

The Turkish pizza was really very bad and the food is deteriorating. I would have preferred to give a higher score. But it is currently quite bad.

The food is always good! It's just that my 4-year-old son needed to pee the other day. They charged 1 euro for that; sorry, but I find that really bizarre.

We had breakfast there and it was really delicious. The staff member was very friendly. I highly recommend it. I'd gladly go again!

The restaurant is lovely and offers a wide variety of choices. It's well-maintained and clean. The staff is incredibly friendly. It's located in the heart of Zaandam. Thank you!

A very neat and well-maintained establishment. This is the best place in Zaandam to enjoy delicious Turkish specialties. The owner is very friendly. The staff goes above and beyond. Very satisfied with this top-notch place. Combine it with the Stadshart Zaandam for a lovely conclusion. Located in a prime location in Zaandam. Right next to Albert Heijn. Zaanhotel and Best Western Zaan Inn Hotel are within walking distance. Paid parking in the area. Located close to Zaandam station.

Friendly staff and tasty snacks for lunch.

I normally don't write reviews, but the food was really, really, really delicious.

Previously, the Turkish pizzas with chicken doner were quite good, but today it's a greasy, soggy mess full of grease..... the Turkish pizza is just falling apart from the grease..... and that for 10 euros.

I would really like to give them a higher rating because the food is very good and tasty, but I can't do it because they just don't have things organized very well. Online takeout orders on their website don't always go through, and even when it goes well, they don't have it ready and you end up waiting fifteen to thirty minutes for your food anyway. They rarely have Köfte or Adana kebab; it doesn't matter if it's lunchtime or dinnertime, it's just never there. You would think they would order more from their supplier, but it has been "sold out" for months now. They don't always pass on the price difference, so always pay upon pickup. Otherwise, it's fine, but not for me anymore.

Great service, clean, and good food. This is highly recommended for everyone.

I’m a regular guest at this restaurant. Because the food and atmosphere are amazing. It’s always quiet and nice to sit there. Staff is so friendly and welcoming. Prices are affordable. Good location. Highly recommend!

Great service and really delicious! I'm from Germany and I've had much worse. Highly recommended. Super hot sauce!

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place for lunch, dinner, or drinks.

I tried the Turkish restaurant. The falafel was excellent, but the amount of falafel in the bread was small. The chicken shawarma was average. The beef shawarma plate was average. The service was good. The female staff were friendly.

The place is really nice and has a great atmosphere. The food is very delicious and well-prepared.

The place is really nice and has a great atmosphere. The food is very delicious and well-prepared. The staff were friendly and the service was fast. Definitely a place I would come back to!

Everything was nice, the food was tasty and the staff were very nice.

I was so lucky to find this restaurant across from my hotel, near a large supermarket. It's a Turkish restaurant run by a cheerful older woman who works with her children, both young and old. Their customer service is incredibly kind, their work is neat and clean, and honestly, their prices saved me from the high prices of other restaurants in Amsterdam. I was so lucky it's right across from my hotel! I eat there all the time. May God bless them abundantly. Thank you, your brother from Saudi Arabia.

Great atmosphere, family running the business. Friendly and welcoming like the know me forever ( first time I've been there )

The hospitality of these people is excellent, the food is good, and the place is clean. I think it's a great place.

Very polite staff especially the one behind the counter was meant to get his name but we didn’t have chance

The new owners have been in the restaurant for about three weeks now, and they're still getting used to it. I had to stand by and sometimes hold back (certain) vegetables because they shouldn't be on the plate. And the wraps and Turkish pizzas have significantly less meat than before. The sandwich was quite filling, though. We'll see how this develops...

I bought a döner kebab this week. The woman behind the counter was rude and grumpy about everything I asked. The kebab itself wasn't tasty either, it was very hard and had more salad than chicken. It wasn't what I'm used to, and the staff was different than usual. I used to be a regular, but you won't see me back.

I bought a döner sandwich, but there was very little chicken in it. The bread was literally like a cracker; it really wasn't tasty. For 7 euros, it was a complete waste of money. I won't be buying anything here again or recommending it to anyone.

Super good, one of the best I've tried and very good service.

Fast service and friendly staff.

Restaurant right across from our hotel Zaan hotel ,very clean,spacious,friendly ,polite staff,plenty food to choose from ,and delicious,first time in this Restaurant I highly recommend you try if kebabs etc is your thing ,food was plenty portion massive ,me and my friend should shared the chicken kebab we had 1 potion enough for 2 depending how hungry you are ,we had one each and I struggled to finish mine ,good quality food for good prices cheap enough delish 😋 😋😋

Dry food and bad service. This place should be closed.

Had a delicious falafel sandwich. Only less that the service does not come to you, but on the other hand I understand it. Will definitely come back!

What a wonderful surprise! I really enjoyed the döner (chicken version) here, and it was without a doubt one of the best I've ever eaten. The chicken was well-seasoned and full of flavor, and even the fries were delicious and fresh. The restaurant has a nice, cozy atmosphere, and the service was incredibly friendly and attentive. A truly lovely place that you'll happily return to. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Good food and unique variations of kapsalon.

Picked up a bowl of nasi and a bowl of Turkish Pilav of 600 grams in total. I paid €15.80 for this. And then you would think; you pay that yourself but I found out when I had already put my card on the pin. I also made a comment about this at the cash register but that was ignored. And there were no prices anywhere so I couldn't have known this in advance. Not only is this absurdly expensive it is also not fresh and tasty. Once and never again for me!! I really feel ripped off!

We wanted to sit down and order some food, and while we were there, I took the opportunity to buy a couple of things we needed at the supermarket. When we arrived, one of the waiters came out with an angry expression and literally told us, "You can go." Surprised, I told him we wanted to order something, and his expression suddenly changed. We left, obviously because of his bad attitude.

“Shoarma sandwich with trauma” I ordered a delicious shoarma sandwich, ready for a garlic sauce party in my mouth… but what did I get? Only a tsunami of hot sauce. No garlic sauce to be seen. It wasn’t a shoarma sandwich, it was a trial by fire. My tongue is still on fire and my heart cries for what could have been. Without garlic sauce, it’s just meat on bread with an existential crisis. Next time I’ll send a reminder, a letter, and a carrier pigeon: don’t forget the garlic sauce!

It seems like you guys are hanging on by a thread Everything was terrible and especially the attitude Maybe it’s time to throw in the towel Good luck turning it around, but something has to change drastically

Delicious food and sympathetic service. Spacious and fresh.

Delicious food and excellent service!

Ordered Kapsalon shawarma. The container is literally half full. Never again

A quick bite to eat on a Tuesday afternoon after visiting the town hall. At least they don't have the depressing music like most food stalls. 100% Halal

Delicious food, you choose how much. Neatly balanced. Varied menu at the food bar... you can also take it away... Furthermore, delicious meals freshly prepared. Not expensive, neat and hygienic!

Very clean branch. Friendly staff. And surprisingly delicious food. I'll definitely be back

One of the few places that were open on Christmas Day in Zaandam and where you could go without a reservation. The Turkish pizzas were gone. Friendly service. They recommended a "kapsalon" which they then forgot to take out of the oven and had to be replaced by another, but I was offered a cup of tea to make up for it. Kapsalon did not taste bad. There is an issue with the outside door that keeps opening, which can suddenly make it cold. It was close to my hotel, which was handy.

We ordered tea. We were 3 people it took half an hour and we had to remind them to bring our tea. Meanwhile a Turkish family came after us and got served before us with Tea! I was beyond mad but unfortunately I had no other choice in neighbourhood. I am not satisfied with how they manage guests and hospitality.

Placed a large order for work, we all had a lovely meal. Thank you 🙏🏼👍🏼

Nothing to say: good, nice location, nice atmosphere and very nice young waitress

Really cosy place and tasty food

The family liked it very much, I recommend it

Good pizza! Definitely recommended.

Finally found the orange 🍊 orange from Spain after 50 years of searching (it is mandarin) and here it is not in 2 liter bottles. The employee said that it is simply sold in the supermarket in Turkey. Let's go to the mountains again soon. For the rest, delicious chicken, spinach, yoghurt drink, etc.

Great selection, differently seasoned dishes, tasted very good. The staff is very friendly. Cheap prices. We are happy to recommend.

We got soo many meat in the sandwich😍

Very Delicious food, clean restaurant, good prices And friendly staff Very Delicious food, clean restaurant, good prices and friendly staff.

For atmosphere and experience" Can you go there? But, the food is a drama' order ""durum with donërchicken cheese"" firstly they forgot my order so (quickly) the durum itself that looked like allie chemical" really nasty "I'm not saying yet 'lots of salad' is there more salad than chicken donner, at most 6 pieces? I can't find garlic sauce and sambal anywhere either. Ayran was at the menu. I had to pay for that separately "all in all "don't order anything here because you don't get anything either."

Proper tasty food made fresh full of flavour definitely recommended.

Fantastic and fresh food very near the train station and our hotel. The staff was very helpful. Highly recommend!

Love this place. Was at the hotel across the lot for 7 weeks of the past 3 months from the US and been here about a dozen times. All of the meats are delicious. Only thing I would add but it doesn't seem like they do it over here is to do the meats over rice with a salad.

Super tasty, fresh and healthy food!! Highly recommended. Super tasty salads too. Compliments!

Service is good, friendly staff. I had to wait a bit longer and they gave me a tea. Wonderful, I really appreciate it. Thank you. If they have borek, I really recommend trying it.

Top location for a restaurant. Easily accessible by public transport and by car you can park at one of the garages. The food is tasty and affordable. The staff is customer-friendly and pleasant to deal with. Different types of audiences come here, from young to old. I will definitely go there again!

I first called the restaurant to ask something. I was served in a friendly and helpful manner. My food was delivered quickly. It looked very good and neat and tasted delicious!!

Very tasty food every Monday after school, but I just think that the doner sandwich should contain more doner instead of salad. The bottom of the sandwich is completely full of lettuce.

I mean, I understand times got tough and inflation hit people. But this is just too much: A kebab box like this used to be 30% or so cheaper, but it was double the size… I understand the reasoning for higher prices or shrinkflation. But doing BOTH is just a bit too much.

Good service and tasty food and a nice atmosphere.

I have only just moved to Zaandam And I couldn't find a nice, tasty food place, but I have it, this food place is becoming my favooo :) very polite employees nice fresh food top top top

Super nice, cozy place to eat or for a small party! Highly recommended

Walking in to the shop and no one helped or asked what I wanted, I was stood for 10 minutes and there were no other customers. Joke

I was looking for that vegetable pasta everywhere!! Thank you so much! We ordered also Turkish pizza and döner chicken burger menu's. It was delicious! Atmosphere and service was very nice also. Every time I come to Zaandam I'll buy food here. I can only recommend it!;)

I ordered the lahmacun (Turkish pizza) and a hair salon. It's delicious, I definitely recommend it. Service was fast and atmosphere is nice and warm and cozy. The new owners are very polite to friendly. Food is prepared quickly. I definitely recommend it here!

Good food, fast service and reasonable price.

Toen ik binnenkwam was er een lief klein jongetje dat mij op het buffet wees en uitleg gaf. Superschattig! De (volwassen) man achter de kassa was ook heel aardig. Ik had eten van het buffet genomen om mee te nemen en het heeft allemaal heerlijk gesmaakt. Ik kwam hier per toeval maar ik ga zeker nog eens terugkomen! :)

Lovely....our weekend in Amsterdam... food was beautiful

Een goed ogende tent waat binnen of oo het terras gegeten kan worden. Het klaarmaken van het eten hiefde niet lang te duren en de porties waren meer dan je verwacht. De patat zelf was niet erg lekker dus die sla ik de volgende keer over.

Lekker snel, lekker eten en gezellig om te zitten

Lekker gegeten. Vriendelijk personeel

Francamente non mi è piaciuto per niente, l’unica cosa positiva è che non è caro.

You are a tourist they will make sure you got everything you need to relax while you eat and feel like home 🏡

Excellent food, didn't know what I was ordering so, chef recommended something. It was gorgeous

Bel endroit, calme et bonne ambiance. Service rapide, bon accueil, et variété du menu. Très belle vue de la terrasse et bel aménagement dans la salle à l'intérieur

Clean and spacious place. The food is delicious and the prices are very cheap.

Decent service, father and son were welcoming. Food was nice too. No lamb or beef doner served but sharwama only. Chilli sauce was exceptional and garlic was nice also. Sharwama tasted okay but more of a samosa filling. Sharwarma wrap and chicken doner in grilled bread with salad was very nice - both cost €19.50. All are Halal. Pastries and desserts also on sale here. #zaandam #amsterdamblogger #turkishfood #amsterdamfoodie #amsterdam #foodie #travelblogger #albertheijn #zaandamtrainstation #zaandamshops #borek #food #baklava #amsterdamrestaurant #sharwarma #kebab #doner #chickenwrap

Посетили заведение ,все очень понравилось. Очень вкусно приготовлены мясные блюда и хорошая выпечка . Хорошее и быстрое обслуживание, хозяин говорит на английском языке. В заведении есть туалет и умывальник,где вы можете помыть руки, а это очень важно для такого туристического города ,как Заандам. Все очень понравилось, обязательно приедем ещё . Рекомендую.

The food was not bad nothing special except the price for just a bit of Nasi and a bit of chicken I paid 17 Euro cold to take away so I find it too expensive for just a portion of food

Meilleurs donner que j'ai mangé, avec un service parfait et chaleureux

Doner au poulet très bon accueil très synthétique services impeccable je recommande cette endroit

Vriendelijke dame... goede ambiance...

Arkadaşlar ile oturup yemege , rahat ve konforlu

Lekker eten, vriendelijk personeel en snel klaar.

De lekkerste Turkse pizza die ik ken.. meestal vind ik Turkse pizza te pittig, ja, ook zonder rode saus.. maar deze, hmmmmmmmm.. heerlijk 🥰

Erg tevreden, heerlijke gerechten, ziet er keurig uit. Echt een aanrader

الاكل. 👌🏻 الشاورما عندهم لذيذة.. و الاسعار مقبوله جداً..

Super lekker eten en goede bezorg service.
