Mezebar Bodrum in Hoofddorppleinbuurt

Had tandır for food and the meet was extremely tender and tasty. Do recommend. It is a little up on price point - but it is worth for a good dinner. Had small meze platter and 2 person tandır with a glass of rakı and wine. Paid 92€. But meat was so much we couldnt finish 1/3 of it and had to ask for takeaway. All food is really tasty and small quaint restaurant, I recommend for a chill intimate evening out if you want to try good Turkish food.

Best food and hospitality! We were recommended this place and it didn't disappoint. Delicious tender lamb, and meze dishes which were perfect for sharing between big group.

Great food and atmosphere. The owners are so kind and friendly. Definitely a must go place if you like mediterranean food.

We just got home after a wonderful meal. Food - excellent, we had a mixed mezze starter and the lamb shoulder, absolutely delicious. Service - the owners are so friendly and welcoming as other reviews have said you feel like you are at a very warm home. Atmosphere - wonderful. The irony was that we lived round the corner for five years and had never discovered this gem. Well better late than never. I 100% recommend you visit.

Still one of my favourite places for good food and a nice evening out in Amsterdam. Personal and cosy. The food is so fresh and delicious. Don't miss this place!

Absolutely!!! It was excellent, we love such small, cozy restaurants. There is no menu, what is available at the table is presented today. Very warm-hearted and funny, we quickly got in touch with the other guests. Dutch, German, English across the board. It gave braised lamb shoulder with a side dish, a poem. So don't just walk past, just look for it, we were very satisfied, we would be happy to go back if we go to Amsterdam again.

Amazing place with freshly made traditional Turkish food! And lovely service feels like a living room - Amsterdam needs more places like this :)

Everything was perfect, 4 of us came and had lamb shoulders and they were divine, not to mention the small desserts which were also excellent. We can also note the kindness of the bosses. Delighted if you pass through Amsterdam it’s a must to eat well!

We were in the restaurant yesterday with my husband and really felt very comfortable. Both the food and the ambience are simply breathtaking. The owners, a totally loving couple, try to please you with everything. I will travel to Amsterdam again just to be able to visit this restaurant again. I can really recommend it to everyone.

Excellent food and lovely atmosphere.

Such a warm, cosy and welcoming place, besides the excellent quality Turkish food, they make you feel like home. I will for sure go back!

Everything was delicious, mezes and lamb was just as they should be. The owners were great. Will definitely come again.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Loved it

Is it open or closed? No opening hours at the store. Google shows open

Excelent turkish restaurant with great hospitality

Very nice place with amazing traditional Turkish food, also vegan option possible. They don't have a menu, so you eat 'wat de pot schaft' 😂. The owner and his wife are nice people and are taking very good care of their customers.

Fantastic place. Food prepared with love and a very nice, friendly hostess. The lamb shoulder was delicious!

So delicious. Our server (who I think is also the owner) sat down with us and walked us through the menu and suggested what to order. We took her advice. We started off with the cold meze and then got the hot meze. Everything was so delicious and fresh! I had the best farrow I've ever had in my life.

Incredible dinner!! Super kind hosts, wish we were in town tomorrow evening to return for dinner again! Fresh, flavorful, fabulous… you won’t regret going here!

I’m literally writing this as I’m eating because I need to world to know how incredible this place is. Sweet owners greeted us and gave us amazing suggestions. I can’t explain enough how amazing their food . You can taste the love! Thank you so much for the incredible experience ♥️🫶🏽

Awesome food , super fresh and homemade. Unfortunately on Monday it is close otherwise I was back two days in raw. If you pass by it is absolutely suggested! Price quality and service top level!

FANTASTIC place! We just walked by it and decided to sit inside and it was an excellent choice. Such a cozy special atmosphere created by the owners who are extremely personable, kind and helpful. Felt like enjoying a meal with a new family :) Food is sooooo yummy and special!

Esta fue una de las mejores comidas que he tenido. Entramos y el amable propietario nos dijo cómo nos daría de comer, y eso fue increíble. Yo estaba allí con mi marido y nuestros hijos de 18 y 20 años, y esta fue una de las mejores - 5 comidas que cualquiera de nosotros ha comido. Habló con mi hijo en alemán (está estudiando en el extranjero en Alemania en este momento, por lo que estamos en Europa) , explicó cómo sacaría nuestra comida, y en general hizo que toda la experiencia se sintiera como visitar a un amigo para cenar. Si eres un comedor exigente, esto podría no ser para ti, pero si te gustan los sabores turcos y estás dispuesto a comer lo que venga, será un evento transformador en tu vida. : ) Recordaré esta comida por el resto de mi vida.

Home cooked, fresh ingredients. The kind owners and staff will take care of you like you're visiting your best friend's mom's kitchen

the food here was amazing! there’s no formal menu as it’s all fresh, but you have a choice of what they have on the day. we had cold mezze and then lamb shoulder and it was all soooo good, we kept eating even though we were totally stuffed. I would highly recommend coming here - it’s a small place so the atmosphere is nice and cosy, and the woman who hosted us was very welcoming and lovely.

Great service delicious food. Highly recommended. Good atmosphere

amazing restaurant, amazing staff and amazing atmosphere!! We were looking for a rakı meze place for a very long time and I think we finally found it 🤩 they make their mezzes daily with fresh ingredients so the menu changes everyday, they serve you 7 types of cold mezzes and we also ordered tandir as the main dish. The tandir was so delicious, the meat amount was so much and it was definitely better than the ones I had in Turkey. It is a restaurant owned by a couple and they are the sweetest! I would definitely recommend this place if you’re craving some good Mediterranean food and good meat dishes 😋

What a lucky find. It was like going to a friend's house. There is no menu, only what's available that day. We had an amazing meze plate with the best tuna we ever ate. We shared a sea bass that was cooked to perfection. Everything was so delicious. We came back the next night. We had meze again ( we even got extra tuna that was remembered that we liked) and a chicken dish. Wished we lived closer so we could go here every week. What a great find.

Incredible food. And a great ambience as well. Super super friendly owners. Think one of the best restaurants I’ve been to!

My new favourite restaurant in Amsterdam. Do you want to eat fresh food in a good atmosphere? Go to this restaurant, the service is really nice and fast. I felt like eating at home. Highly recommend 👌

Very tasty food - real Turkish standards. The owners are super nice. Low key, cute atmosphere. Highly recommend this place

Absolutely amazed by the food, the service and the overall experience!! Irma knew exactly what we wanted (even better than us ourselves) and served us with the most delicious food I have tasted at a restaurant so far! Will definitely come back at our next Amsterdam visit. Feels like family and tastes like home!

The food is incredibly delicious. It is based on the Turkish home kitchen. Everything is freshly cooked. Unfortunately, this also means that the selection is not very large and there may be little to no choice on some evenings. However, what is there is incredibly tasty.

Very attentive, cozy and personal service! Amazing tasty fresh food cooked with experience! Will come back!

Wir waren als Familie ohne Reservierung in der Mezebar um einen Geburtstag zu feiern. Die Gastgeberin hat uns wunderbar begrüsst und uns das Menü erklärt. Es wird jeden Tag frisch gekocht. Wir hatten eine sensationelle kalte Meze-Platte, unglaublich gut! Der Hauptgang sowie das Dessert liessen auch keine Wünsche offen. Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl, die Gastgeberin ist sehr herzlich, der Abend in der Mezebar war rundum perfekt! Vielen Dank😊

They make very successful meat dishes, and their appetizers are also delicious. I highly recommend it.

We had a very tasty meal for a very good price. Moreover, super friendly owners were very involved Mezze tasty, very fresh vegetarian snacks and delicious meat. A topper definitely recommended. We felt at home For me a place to come back to more often

From the moment we walked in we knew we were in the right place. Warm welcome, delicious food and very cozy. Recommended!!

We have tried many Turkish restaurants in Amsterdam, but this one is by far the best. Order the mezes and take your time in this cozy tavern. We ate our fill and laughed out loud at the owner's jokes. Will definitely come back.

Had a great meal! On vacation from Canada great portions and great food and a very sweet owner :)

Stepping into Mezebar Bodrum felt like stepping into my hometown in Türkiye. The vibrant atmosphere and aromatic spices instantly transported me. But the real magic was on the plate. Each dish, from the tender lamb shank to the flavorful meze sampler, was a masterpiece. The owners, passionate about fresh and made-in-house dishes, made the experience even richer. It's not just a meal, it's a journey!

Very authentic and charming place. The food, the ambiance, and the hosts are wonderful. Strongly recommended!

Excellent food and very good service. The owners are the ones who serve and give the best advice. The food is made with fresh ingredients and served in abundance. intimate atmosphere

The meze was not Turkish at all and the tastes are so bad. We took 7 course vold plates and cannot eat them. The humus tastes very strong cumin. The rest is full of coriander which is not common at turkish cuisine. He also includes tonjin salad that is not a meze at all! If you would like to taste turkish meze this is not a place ! Not successful and loss of money!!! Not recommended

Perfect place to enjoy Turkish raki. Very delicious mezes and main dishes. They don't have a menu but they fix the dishes daily. Very friendly people and very reasonable prices.

Ein kleines süßes Restaurant, in dem die Inhaber selbst kochen und bedienen. Sehr lecker! Sogar für Veganer geeignet.

Very tasty food. Served in a homely atmosphere by a super friendly hostess. You don't get a printed menu or wine list. What you get is personal attention and explanation about how it works in Mezebar Bodrum. The evening starts with meze, too delicious! For the main course you can choose from fish, vegetarian, meat or vegan. The hostess talks passionately about the dishes. Beautiful portions and the chef's mastery delights every sense...

Stumbled upon this place and wow - what a hidden gem!! Authentic and delicious Turkish cuisine! Don't miss this place if you're in A-dam!!

Zoals altijd een heerlijke maaltijd van warme en koude meze. Hartelijke en warme ontvangst zoals altijd. Zeker heen gaan!

Heerlijk fijn avondje gehad vriendelijk eigenaar

Restaurant tenu par un couple exceptionnel, très accueillant. Des plats authentiques avec des produits frais chaque jour. Menu variant à se laisser surprendre. Décors et ambiance chaleureux et dans le thème. Expérience indéniable ! Passage obligatoire lors de votre séjour à Amsterdam !!!! 🤍

Très bon rapport qualité prix. Des plats avec des ingrédients frais. On reviendra

Delicious food and service from the couple running that seems to be the owners. Family business vibe. Thank you for the attention, Lekker lamsschouder!

Excellent restaurant de mezze. Cuisine goûteuse et généreuse. Accueil chaleureux et sympathique. Allez y les yeux fermés 🤗

The food was excellent. Its a husband and wife team. Definitely on our repeat visit list! They choose a different entree to serve each day, and that’s that.

Great restaurant, friendly service.

It s my favourite place in Amsterdam. They serve the most fresh and delicious food as meat fish and vegan options. Mezes are very delicious and portions are quite big. And the best place to go with the friends. Thank you for the kind service and delicious foods

Absolutely, hands down, my favorite restaurant in Amsterdam. The owners, Ihsan & Irma, a married couple, are the most incredible people with such warm hearts & a passion for life that carries over to the food they serve. The first time I went, I just wandered in late at night. I had no idea what to order. They grow the vegetables & she brought out about 10 tapas & my friend and I sampled (& eventually finished) all of them! It was the most flavorful Mediterranean food. I have never had anything so tasty. The atmosphere was like we were hanging out with family. Lots of laughter & music filled the little restaurant. Usually I’d be more specific & recommend a dish, but in this case, everything was incredible. Just walk in and ask her to surprise you & have her select your meal. Definitely check this place out.

Nice restaurant and very nice and kind owners, very friendly lady was nice enough to add a table for us on a Friday evening with no reservation.

Heeeeeeerlijk gegeten! Er is geen vast menu maar alles wordt vers bereidt en dus is de keuze per dag ook wat anders. Verse vis of bijv lam. En altijd de keuze voor meze, kleine gerechtjes om te delen. Daar hadden wij voor gekozen. Als eerste koude gerechtjes, zoals tzatziki, tonijnsalade, artisjokken en meer. Daarna het hoofdgerecht met verschillende soorten vlees/kip en iets van een tarwe product. Allemaal super lekker en daarnaast de combi van Hollandse en Turkse gastvrijheid. Het is een klein restaurantje maar er is ook een buitenterras (overkapt).

We were trying to look for a Greek restaurant and ended up here. It's a Turkish family owned business and they don't have a Menu as it changes everyday. The hospitality was super sweet and it has a very cozy vibe. Feels like a little gem that we accidentally stumbled upon

Very delicious. They do not have a menu because everything is freshly made , but the quality and quantity of the food are superb. Warm and nice people own and serve in this place.

Fabulous cold meze and lamb tandir dinner at this amazing Turkish restaurant with superb hospitality. Will definitely return!

Clean and good costumers service

What a brilliant little gem. We were in Amsterdam recently celebrating my other half's 40th birthday. She fancied Greek so a few minutes googling I found this place and we jumped on the tram. It's a little tucked away but fairly easy to find. We sat outside. Turned out this place is not Greek but actually Turkish. We were greeted by the owner who explained that nothing is out of a packet or jar and is freshly cooked daily. There's not a menu as such but a number of different options were given. We chose the mezze option. The food and service was fantastic and we would definitely go back again next visit.

Very nice place. Meze comes in huge platters and feels very “home-style”. Owners are very welcoming and the food is high quality!! I think it’s especially good for large groups (we were 7 in total) as the menu is changing and made to share. Expect around 40 euro pp with wine included

Absolutely the best all around. The food is excellent and I felt at home. We’ll be back.

The quality of service is only surpassed by the tastiness of the dishes.

Wonderful family restaurant, food made fresh daily. Fantastic flavors. Vegetarian friendly.

Geweldig dat er nog dit soort plekken bestaan waar je naar binnen loopt en eet wat de pot schaft. Het eten is verrukkelijk. Wij hadden een heerlijke grote zeebaars die de kok nog even liet zien voor het grillen. Daarnaast een langzaam gegaarde lamsschouder uit de oven, super mals. Alles vers en van goede kwaliteit. De kok en gastvrouw zijn top. Geen poespas maar het gevoel alsof je bij iemand in de huiskamer zit met relaxte muziek op de achtergrond zodat je nog een goed gesprek kan voeren. Wij komen zeker terug.

Geweldig. Ihsan en irma super aardig. En Ishan is een topkok . Heel leuke avond gehad. Dank jullie wel.

Such a great authentic experience for some great Turkish food

Hier erlebt man ein besonderes Essens-Erlebnis. Sehr herzlicher Service und absolut fantastisches Essen! Absolute Empfehlung!

Excellent restaurant : food, mint tea. The owner are really nice.

Fantastisch restaurant! Zeker aan te raden. Knus, gezellig en top service! Hartelijk dank.

Besonderes Essens-Erlebnis. Hier darf sich nicht vom unscheinbaren Ambiente täuschen lassen: herzlicher Service und phantastisches Essen! Unsere Meze-Platte für 2 war super viel, vielfältig und preislich für Amsterdam super. Absolute Empfehlung!

Had an amazing meal and dinning experience here, who I believe was the owner is in charge of everything. Truly one of my highlights in our trip to Amsterdam.

Amazing place, food and service. Loved it!

Very friendly staff and delicious food, a must for greek food lovers.

Great restaurant excellent food you need to book a must

We had amazing fresh and tasty food, the ambiance is convivial and relaxing. The owners are extremely caring and nice, I am looking forward to coming back.
