Lila in Haarlemmerbuurt

Very excellent food and service

Very good food it is so delicious

if you‘re in amsterdam, you have to go and eat here. it’s very good!!!!

Very delicious food wow very good service if u in Amsterdam try the spot it’s I must have !!!💘💘😻😻

The kebab is missing vegetables and sauce. Very dry

Such good food! Highly recommend the food is fresh and service is amazing 🤩

literally waited an hour and a half for them to cancel my order. please no one order from them or give them money. they also don’t pick up the phone.

Incredibly nice staff and absolutely delicious Middle Eastern cuisine. I had the chicken wrap and my boyfriend tried the shoarma. We could each only eat half of the wrap - and got to take the rest home to enjoy later. Great portion sizes! Delicious. 10/10 recommend!

Just bought lunch there, excellent service and the food is great

Nice food and very nice workers!!

Wonderful food, excellent service. Bashaar was very friendly and helpful. One of my favourite places

It’s okay for a quick meal… Thought it would be healthier but chicken is fried with excess of oil.

Fantastically delicious food. Super friendly and pleasant owners. Really recommended.

Fresh food, great service. Definitely a place i want to come again

Israeli owner that copies Arab food. Visit a real Lebanese or Syrian restaurant if you want the experience.

Delicious food and fast service. I recommend it!

I love falafel but the falafel from this place had a very weird mouth feeling which put me off (way too dry and crumbly). The service is great and the place itself is also nice but the food was not satisfying unfortunately. Also way too expensive for what you get!

I always get a shaorma wrap with hummus as a side dish. Everytime I am filled with joy and ecstasy of eating delicious food. I always leave happy and full. Portions are big and full of delicious components. I would recommend Lila to everyone!

Just popped in for a shawarma wrap and it was mad tasty, juicy chicken, very impressed, chips were banging too A+

An amazing food place ! Amazing flavours and friendly service ready to customise your order as long as you are happy! Incredible packaging safe, clean and easy! Fries are delicious and have that homemade comfort! The staff are super friendly and helpful

If you want Halal food especially Shoarma and platters please come to this place. Best place

Delicious food, friendly staff and nice ambiance. Overall, fantastic experience.

Best vegetarian falafel and an amazing host

always on point - wraps are fire

Great food at a great location near downtown amsterdam

love the food!!! amazing. nice stafff. I would recommend:)

Excellent restaurant! The portions are very generous, the dishes are tasty and the value for money is really great. An address to recommend without hesitation!

Food was delicious and staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend eating here!

The wraps were very tasty. The staff very friendly. We would eat there again!

Snack rather than restaurant No table service Dry meat, no sauce. No Lebanese bread... Generous portion but poor value for money.

Lovely place, great staff and food is absolutely delicious! Was freshly prepared but didn’t take long to arrive at all, we went for the meal which I highly recommend. Would come back here tomorrow if I could!

Very friendly service, pretty good and fresh food. Could've been maybe a little more salad instead of the hummus in the bowl.

Tried the mixed lamb and chicken meal at Lila food was decent, but felt like it was missing a little something to really bring it all together. Still, the service was on point and the vibe was chill. Solid spot overall!

Great vegan options, very delicious!

Fantastic food, and friendly folks

Majd was super kind and he delivered me high-quality service and food

Ask for the Samurai Sauce. You won't regret it.

Really great and warm customer service. The food feels like it’s cooked with love! Would defo come back next time I’m in Amsterdam

The service was outstanding, the food tasted divine and coming back again tomorrow 😊

Nice spot for halal food! Chicken bowls is amazing!

The restaurant is excellent and the food is good. We ordered a delicious meat shawarma with chicken, and a kebab dish that comes with two pieces of kebab with salad, potatoes, hummus, onions, and two pieces of shawarma bread, which is tastier than kebab.

Everything was fresh but just didn’t taste good. Falafal was okay but the fries were soggy, hummus so tasteless and the entire plate just felt really dry.

Yummy food and most excellent service! Super leuk staff 🙏🙏

The guy who works there “ the one in their video advertising “ is super aggressive! When we interned the restaurant he was fighting with another customer, and after we ordered he have such an aggressive conversation with us! He put in our sandwiches things we don’t want like onion and garlic and when we told him we can’t eat that, het started shouting and throw our sandwich’s and start saying that’s the food if you don’t want I can’t do anything for you! His coworker started calming him down but the atmosphere stayed super wierd and full of aggression.

I don't know where these opinions come from, the food only looks good in the picture, after eating it I'm disappointed, there are few ingredients, a thick pancake and zero sauce, I recommend taking a drink with you to wash it down, the service is indifferent towards the customer, after deciding on a wrap without any additions, the lady expressed indifference and resignation with her face, the high opinion is probably due to buying them

Best place in Amsterdam. Great atmosphere, great service and absolutely delicious food. Very authentic chicken and the cauliflower with tahini dish is just pure.

We came back after 8 years, new owner but food and ambiance just as special ! Thank you for your great hospitality.

Vegan, fresh and delicious!! And perfectly filling portions. Also the space is so nice. There is a cozy back area too.

The food was mediocre at best. Especially considering the €13 price for a wrap. Anyway, I wanted to pay with card. So he punched the numbers in and just before I tapped the card I realized that he was accidentally going to charge me €1 instead of €13. I made him aware of this and instead of saying “thank you” like any other person would, he said “you’re lucky” while pointing his finger in the air as if he wanted to teach me a lesson. I told him that he’s actually lucky that I made him aware of his mistake so he wouldn’t undercharge me. Then he mumbled something that I didn’t understand and got on with his work. Well, good thing there are many good food places in Amsterdam. I won’t be going there again.

Absolutely loved this spot — the food was incredibly fresh and full of flavour. Would definitely recommend!

Went in for lunch, great service with food cooked freshly in front of you. Well worth the visit.

Amazing middle eastern food, and great service!

I ordered online from Lila Falafel and picked it up myself. The presentation looked great in the photos, but the actual taste was disappointing and very average. It didn’t live up to the expectations at all. Unfortunately, I won’t be going back.

It is a very cozy and clean place. The food is healthy and very delicious. The attention of the staff is unmatched, they are friendly and attentive. I would return a thousand times more! Thank you for your time

"Give the place a wide berth! One star is already too many. The food was a disaster - there were three of us and none of us liked it. The employees were unfriendly. We had to wait 30 minutes for our food, while guests who arrived after us were served faster."

soundest server ever, great food and great location

Very friendly staff. The food looks better in the photos than how I personally thought it tasted. I had a shawarma dish, which was a bit dry. The falafel balls were also very dry.

Very good food , nice place to be

Every time I travel to Amsterdam, Lila is a must-visit for me — I always find myself eating here two to three times during my trip. The food is consistently top quality, fresh, and full of flavor. What makes the experience even better is the team working there — super friendly, welcoming, and always making you feel at home. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a spot in Amsterdam with great food and great vibes.

Its really good and the one guy is very nice he gave us cold water

The Lila restaurant has its charm, inspired by the East. The food was fresh and delicious, more than enough and the service was great. This is the place everyone should visit. Thank You “Lila” ;)

Amazing fresh food & kind staff!! Would definitely recommend it 😊

Delicious food and very nice place also prices are good 👍🏽

Nice guys and great food. Surprised it was so made to order. About a 5 to 10 min wait and very nice. The quality is obviously high and even side salad super fresh.

Delicious but I ordered too much food! I should have shared the chips instead of getting my own. Good

very good restaurant, we love it

The food quality is excellent and very clean. They pay attention to the smallest details in the sandwich. The taste is delicious. We asked them for hot sauce and they brought us green hot sauce, which is delicious from their work. (We ordered 2 falafel sandwiches). I recommend it. ✅

Great management and food. Happy experience here. Open late too

Really delicious authentic food, freshly baked bread 🤤. Sorry, I had to eat everything, so no picture 😅

Hearty portion sizes for the meals and filling wraps if you’re looking for something smaller. I ordered the Sabachi wrap (vegan) and found it a little dry, but the head chef was very friendly and gave me some DELICIOUS hummus. Highly recommend the falafel and hummus, flavor straight from Middle East.

I had a truly divine wrap at this place. The sauces and sides are authentic and delicious. I will put it on my list of places to return to in Amsterdam 🔥😋

The food here was OK, nothing like some of the other reviewers rave about. Overall, kind of bland and missing flavor but not terrible.

Out of late night desperation, ordered a chicken hummus plate. It was an incredibly small portion of meat with hummus and two pieces of bread for 20 euros. Outrageous.

Very nice food very fresh would recommend

Majd and his colleague where very helpful

The staff here are the best. Go out of their way to give you the best service. Highly recommend

Very yummy! Great options and nice place to sit

Horrible place, hygiene is bad, food is not fresh and staff is average

This little Middle Eastern food cafe is so delicious. We ordered plates one chicken, one sharwma both were delicious. Customer service 10/10 and the chef was absolutely lovely. Next time I visit Amsterdam I will be back !! Thank you so much

Really nice food, very nutritious. Fair portion size and friendly service :)

All was perfect. Nice place, nice food

Not sure were all those 5 star reviews come from: the food is way overpriced and just so so.

Awesome food. Quick and delicious.

Very delicious food, friendly staff

The Kebab wrap is really small for the price and there’s almost nothing inside. The taste is also not that great.

Fresh food! The wraps were amazing!

Great location, nice shop, very friendly staff and very good food!

Really sweet people, reassuring. Food was amazing and lovely place ❤️

A great place on a beautiful street! The owner is the nicest person!! Definitely coming back!

Thank you very much for the bad stomach ache your food caused me.

Amazing food! Missed chance by not painting the walls purple :)

The food was apparently appetizing, but the taste lacked spices and salt. Our order was a meat meal, a shawarma meal, baba ghanouj, and falafel. Of course, baba ghanouj was something completely different from what we know. The falafel was crunchy, but like I said, the food needed salt and spice. Food was missing taste as the restaurant is serving Arabic food, it must be at least marinated and be rich of flavour, the quantity was perfect for the meals service was also perfect.

The food is great Just miss a lit bit of condiments and sauce that would give more taste in the vegetables in the plate. Great menu Many options The fries are delicious crunchy The falafels also almost perfect but not salted enough The place is nice It could be amazing in my opinion just with these small details. A great restaurant for sure

INCREDIBLY GOOD! Fantastic food, exemplary service! I will definitely be back many more times!!

Had takeaway the guy was nice and fast

The service was really nice but the food was very bland. Hardly any seasoning.

A lot of up-selling happening when you order. Expensive sauces. I ordered shoarma, and the main part (shoarma) of the dish was very little, while the sides filled the plate. Also dry rubber like halloumi. Otherwise some parts of the food are pretty good, bread, fries, hummus. Overall didn't impress though, food can have more spice and quality.

Very friendly people, delicious supper, this tent is highly recommended

The fries are really good and the personal is friendly.

Quiet place with good dishes! I recommend kebab dish with homemade potatoes.
