Lila in Haarlemmerbuurt

Incredible home made fresh food. Best lavash wrap bread I have ever tasted. Amazing humus, falafel and sauces. Very good value for your € too. Highly recommend!!

Excellent food and attentive and knowledgeable staff

Nice place for Mediterranean food with fresh and tasty dishes. A bit on the pricier side!

Impeccable restaurant, good meat, very good, fresh fries, everything is good here, I recommend

I strongly recommend!! The welcome and the dishes offered are impeccable. Fresh and delicious products as well as very hearty dishes. I recommend.

Great restaurant very good!!! and very warm welcome, thank you to them. I recommend

Magnificent 🤩 Excellent meat, incredible fresh homemade fries and a refreshing little salad on a bed of hummus! Top notch service! I recommend

For 27 euros you’d expect something great… unfortunately wrap was mediocre at best!

Great restaurant with fresh products and tasty dishes. Very budget friendly. 10/10 would recommend!

This place is underrated food is so good!

Very,very,very good food. The hoummus is divine!!! Best shawarma I had! 10+

Exceptional culinary experience with its perfectly seasoned meat, which is tender and bursting with flavor. The fresh veggies and tangy sauces elevate the dish, making each bite a delightful balance of textures and tastes. The generous portion sizes ensure you leave satisfied, while the vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff add to the overall enjoyment. This is undoubtedly one of the best restaurant!

Was the best meal I had during my trip to Amsterdam! Honestly delicious and so filling. Definitely recommend, everything is cooked fresh. I got the chicken wrap!

Everything is good...the meat is very good and the quantities are generous...we loved it!!

We ordered the kebab and shoarma meals, which were delicious. It was also very close to Central Station. We will come back.

Everything is homemade, the bread is excellent! I advise you to go there if you are looking for a simple and delicious meal.

Food was amazing! I tried the falafel meal, everything was fresh. Service was fast. Place was clean

The shawarma was amazing, service top tier. A must-eat while in the city!

Such a wonderful, flavorful meal. The fresh made wrap and bread was absolutely delicious!

It was amazing time and very tasty food! Very good choice! We will back for more!

I'm super happy with the food, it's very tasty food and I'm very happy with the price and halal

The food was really good. The staff was very polite and helpful

Tasty authentic food, affordable price. Worth repeating

Good atmosphere and good welcome. A good time spent here :)

John is very welcoming and gives good advice, big up to the mayonnaise which was excellent as well as the wraps!! good time shared with my friends in a warm place

Very appetizing, the service was fast.

Amazing falafel, everything is home made and it tastes as such. I recommend it!

Good food, good service, food was amazing and very tasty.

Had a chicken wrap and fries. The fresh baked wrap itself is amazing. The ingredients in the wrap together also delicious and authentic. Can recommend.

Everything is homemade and tasty & the customer service is lovely! Definitely recommend

Really nice place, excellent food and great service, 100% recommend

Plates were great. Flavor paired well. Lots of food in the dish and was very fresh. Would come back for sure.

Very warm welcome, home cooking and top team 👍🏽

Such lovely staff, incredible food! Thank you!

So I definitely won't go here again and I won't recommend it anymore. We went to this restaurant based on the reviews but I have to contradict everything so incredibly, the food was inedible and then seeing the price just hurts. The money can be spent much better elsewhere. I had a wrap with cauliflower and no lie, it was just black and burnt. After asking the service, they said that's how it should be. Inedible if you want to spend money unnecessarily then go to this restaurant. Anyone else who wants something delicious to eat should avoid this shop.

I ate in this Lila restaurant.. the rap chiken was very tasty.. and I will come here again, best food Amsterdam

We live nearby and have driven past here before. The reviews were the deciding factor to give it a chance. I don't understand how this tent is rated so positively. We ordered a kebab meal, cauliflower bowl and extra halloumi. The kebab was even drier than a hamburger patty from McDonalds. In addition, you only received 2 small koftas for which you paid €17.50 (!!!). The vegetable on the plate looked like it was from 3 days ago. It was served so wet and wilted. I also had second thoughts about the cauliflower bowl where they dared to charge €14 for 3 small fried cauliflower florets on a bed of hummus. You don't have to do it for the halloumi either. That's just the one from Albert Heijn. The lady who worked in the open kitchen had her long hair down while the gentlemen wore caps for their hair. I also didn't think it was very hygienic. What was good about our order? The fresh pita was fine and the fries seemed fresh too. Where else they got the 4.6 rating from was a big mystery to us. Do yourself and your wallet a favor and go to another store for Middle Eastern food. This really wasn't worth it.

Great place to try middle east food in modern way, I liked the chicken wrap and the meal that come with Hummus and salads with fresh bread, the staff are friendly and the place is cozy, really recommended it!

Very delicious food , like the way how food was served, mix of flavours was great

Delicious, fresh food served hot and with no fuss. Perfect for a brunch/lunch or post beer snack!!

The atmosphere is really good in the restaurant. With great music, seating areas and a good view of the kitchen, the restaurant really makes you feel welcome. As I really love falafel I obviously went with the falafel wrap, which I could take out very conveniently. There is a good range of vegetarian options, so I didn’t feel left out at all. I’d really recommend eating here and after walking around the haarlemmerstraat!

It was simply excellent. All things in the plate tasted amazing

The food is delicious, the service is wonderful, and the atmosphere of the shop is very excellent. I recommend it to everyone in Amsterdam, resident or tourist. The food is delicious, the service is great and the atmosphere is excellent 5/5

All fresh and tasty with friendly staff

Really Nice food Best chicken in Amsterdam Highly recomendation Best kebab ever Nice staff thank you majd for everything

Nice food high recomended Really best food in Amsterdam

Small portion of food. Especially the side dishes were just overpriced.

super good and balanced! nice restaurant

It is the best restaurant in Amsterdam, quality and service was the best I have been. Recommend 😍

Just what we needed, fresh warm healthy food on a budget, friendly helpful staff

I liked the chicken sandwiches i ordered. waiting time was average given the number of orders, staff nice and place looks clean. Good choice for a quick bite

Unbelievable food and service👌👌👌

A great discovery in the heart of Amsterdam, dishes generous in quantity, delicious and full of flavors. I highly recommend if you are passing through the city and looking for a quiet place to eat very well Special mention for the boss who is very friendly and welcoming!

Delicious food! Feta cheese is amazing ❤️

Great food, so flavorful. Great price, nice vibes, makes your day, no questions asked.

Everything was lovely, totally value for money and probably the sweetest people working there 😊 I asked for something that wasn't on the menu and they did it without extra charge, big respect 👏

Way too expensive for what you get! 25 euros for 1 plate and drinks and sauce are free elsewhere at their 2.50. The rest of the employees are nice but the price is ridiculous

We ate really well and for a very reasonable price. The quality of the ingredients is top notch and the portions are very large. There is a wide vegetarian choice! I recommend!!

Had a wonderful experience at Lila Oriental Restaurant! The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a relaxed meal. I ordered the kebab, which was perfectly seasoned and tender, while my sister enjoyed the falafel—crispy on the outside and packed with flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. A fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy authentic and delicious Middle Eastern cuisine. Highly recommend!

There is Syrian boy from Aleppo work there he think I don’t speak Arabic and all the time I was eating and he jock about me and my friend I will never back and meet that kind of people and the food was not good and very expensive

They have very yummy wraps. We had a Felafel and it was great. 1 wrap made bith of us fully filled.

Quick easy and fresh option for middle eastern comfort food . No rice though 🥲

Gorgeous place with fresh food and lovely staff’

Service was quite bad, the lady that took my order had an attitude and was generally annoyed from the get go. Then they called me by buzzing the puck a minute before my order was ready, I had to stand for a full minute waiting until they finish the order.

Generous portions, fantastic customer service, clean environment, TASTY food - what else can I say?!

It’s a snack bar and as such it delivers. The food is good, people are friendly but obvs no table service. I’m gonna say it’s a bit expensive for what you get. We paid 21 euros for a plate +. Extra Halloumi (6€ for two slices) and 5€ for a beer out of the bottle. Good for a snack but like I said, could be cheaper for what you get. The portions are large but the quality is so/so..

Very delicious home made food. Definitely recommended .

Close to city center. Quick and healthy meal. Recommend.

Very tasty dish of Shawerma that called Meals including fries, Hummus, and Salads. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere.

The woman with the short curly hair was touching the coins and money in the casa with same gloves she was touching my falafel wrap. DISGUSTING! Zero hygiene! I told her it’s not right and she freaked out completely. It’s the second time I’m here and I notice she is super rude. She called me stupid and said if she was next to me she was gonna slap my face. Anger issues! This woman is crazy must be fired asap. She is making your restaurant go down the drain

lovely place in the centre of amsterdam. I had a chicken meal and a drink for 20€, it was delicious and high quality food. 5 stars for the good vibes of the owner!

It was delicious, fresh and big amount of tremendous food.You’re getting welcomed by chatty service. If I could rate this place by ten stars than I would

Majd was a very good server, food was excellent

It took the guy 15 minutes to prepare 1 chicken wrap, which was the worst wrap in my life. Not only is it 13€ to taste like nothing and 3 ingredients, it also gave me stomach pain and digestive issues for the rest of the day!!! Salmonella much? Catastrophic

Best shawarma I’ve ever had I’m so serious

We ordered take away, it arrived quickly and was hot! The portions were generous and flavors authentic. Everything is homemade! I can recommend the hummus shoarma bowl and the falafel! Thank you Lila

Amazing food! Could eat here every day!!

Food was great- fresh and delicious. Good portions too. The vibe is relaxed and informal and the staff very friendly.

The food is amazing and the service 👍

You pay 17 euros for 2 dry meatballs, some hummus and bunch of cheap salads. I recommend you to take an AH sandwich.

Great fresh food, would go again

Service was good, so was the food.

Incredibly disappointing. Bad taste, few ingredients, sloppy construction

Great Falafel, the best I ever tasted even though we have too many Falafel places in my country. Great and welcoming staff too.

It tastes okay, but nothing more. The prices are above average for a snack bar. According to the owner, everything is done himself. However, I cannot understand the five star reviews.

Very friendly staff, at one point I asked if I could have some more meat with my meal and they included it free of charge! This coupled with the tasty spicy sauce and fresh homemade ingredients made for a very good time.

The restaurant is clean Beautiful and delicious food The staff is respectful

This place is a haven for falafel and hummus lovers! The falafel is perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, with spices that hit just right. Their hummus is creamy, rich, and smooth! It’s simply addictive! I highly recommend!

Very fresh food and great atmosphere! On the back side of the restaurant they have some more tables and is very cosy! I had the chicken and kebab wraps. I could not decide which one is better, so I recommend both. The bread they make there is amazing, they make it on the spot and is great with the sides like hummus or baba ghanoush. The hummus is also made there and even took some for home with falafel (as you can see from the photo).

Had a really good chicken wrap here. The bread is fresh and you can notice that instantly. Not like most fastfood place, food find!

Amazing food, beautiful lighting and great playlist. - SA Boy

I don’t usually leave reviews but this place was so bad I had to put my opinion: the doner tasted terrible, there was barely any meat, the dough wasn’t cooked and it had a very weird flavour. We went there for a late night snack and we regretted it a lot. The atmosphere was also a bit weird which made us leave the place in the first place. Also my card didn’t even work and it’s a visa: it had never happened before. I don’t recommend this experience.

Delicious food and large portions! I got the Shoarma meal and it hit the spot! Good customer service

food was allright, very friendly staff.

Very good food, chicken meal is excellent.

This Falafel meal was incredible!

Really tasty food but a bit expensive.

Beautiful restaurant, great food and excellent service

The truth is that we were pleasantly surprised by the food. The place does not attract attention but the food is very good and the service is very attentive. They explain the menu in detail and photos so you can decide what you like best. The falafels were very good but the kebab wrap is what I liked the most.

Super tasty food, very friendly service.
