middleat in Grachtengordel-Zuid

The food was perfect, the service was amazing. We come from Kosovo and we love middle east food.

it was absolutely delicious, we will definitely come back when we will come again in amsterdam. the staff was very friendly :)

The experience was absolutely terrible, and the restaurant has absolutely nothing to do with Iraqi food. ❤️❤️

To be fair, the food is 4 stars. The main issue is the customer service. None of the staff smile! As a matter of fact, they make you feel not welcome. The seating area is tight and the air circulation is congested to the point where my friend started coughing until we rushed to leave. Not the best experience

I got kebab from them, I think it was very delicious and spicy, and their basmati rice was great. The boy, Riyadh, who was serving me was excellent. It's an Arabic restaurant in the center, I loved it!

Definitely recommend, very delicious and good service

The restaurant is magnificent 👌 thank you Sultan. I highly recommend it.

That's good, we're eating our fill.

I mean... Fantastic food. Great atmosphere. Even has shisha on the top floor. This is middle eastern excellence.

French people, come get hurt here, it's annoying. After a little mint tea, bababa!

A unique and simply incredible experience. An immersion in the flavors of the Orient.

Excellent restaurant! The food was superb, the service impeccable, and the staff fantastic. The portions were incredibly generous and delicious.

A very nice restaurant, and I thank brother Riyad for his excellent and kind service.

The service was excellent and the food was good and delicious.

The staff were very nice and hospitable, I can only recommend them ✔️

Amazing food! Must try their ginger tea as well. Great service by our waiter Sultan. Generous, friendly, perfect!

Thank you, Riyadh, for the wonderful service.

- Services are great. - Food is delicious.. we took appetizer and shank lamb. I recommend you to visit this restaurant.

Delicious oriental cuisine, full of flavor!

Delicious food, nice place to sit and friendly service

Great food and the people who work there are very kind, good food from Iraq

The kabab dish and the tea is so delicious!

Great find off the Leidsestraat. If you like Middle Eastern food, you'll like the variety on the menu here.

Truly amazing food. The lamb and chicken grill + the rice and Babaganush were amazing

Highly recommend! Food is tasty, service is fast, and the atmosphere is very nice!

A truly wonderful experience! The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations. We tried the lamb kebab, ghuzi, and chicken tikka, and each dish was more delicious than the last, with authentic Syrian flavors and high-quality cooking. We thank Riyad for his warm hospitality and constant smile. His service was exceptional. I highly recommend visiting the restaurant, and God willing, we will return soon.

One of the best restaurants in Amsterdam, and the food is delicious.

A gem of a restaurant in Amsterdam. Excellent food, impeccable service. A return visit is a must. The best "mensef urduni" we've ever tasted. Simply wonderful!

The place is good and great to chill and relax

A small Iraqi restaurant. Excellent food, friendly staff from Iraq and Syria. We ordered lamb shank (ghoozi) and grilled fish, both served with rice, fattoush, and hummus. The hummus was delicious.

Not a clean place, there were so many small flies. The service was slow. The food is ok, although overpriced.

This restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered a mixed grill; the chicken and kebab were tender and not overly seasoned with spices or garlic. We also ordered a plate of delicious and generous Arabic shawarma. The staff were very helpful and efficient, and the service was fast. I highly recommend it. We ordered takeout, and they packed it and gave it to us in a bag. May God bless them and grant them good health.

Great food, friendly service and super cocktails. Cosy atmosphere . Thanks!

The food at this restaurant is amazing

As a person from Adana, I approve the Adana kebap, absolutely delicious!

Delicious, authentic, hospitable 👍

The dishes are simply incredibly delicious. You can immediately taste the quality of the ingredients, the seasonings are perfectly balanced, and the flavors complement each other beautifully. Every bite makes you want to take another. The portions are generous, the presentation is elegant, and the balance of flavors is worthy of truly passionate cooking. Thank you so much!

The food was delicious, but the amount of rice was very small compared to the high price, meaning you will have to order another meal.

A very excellent restaurant with wonderful service.

The food was extremely salty. We were a group of five, and every starter and main dish was overly salty except for the Mensef. Even after we told them, they didn’t react at all; they just looked embarrassed. it‘s also very overpriced for the quality. I don’t recommend this place — there are many better options out there.

One of the fine if not the finest restaurants in Amsterdam that serves Arabic food with a high quality, place is cozy and have a differ menu that feeds everyone’s taste 🤍.

I visited the place twice and I was very impressed with their service. The young man, Sultan, was extremely helpful. Thank you!

Delicious food. I had the lebanese Pizza and it was amazing

Had a wonderful time and the food was delicious! Really filling and worth the price

Thank you for the excellent service.

A truly excellent Iraqi restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious. I ordered mixed grill, lamb shank, and hummus, and it was all amazing, may God bless it. Honestly, without exaggeration, it's worth trying again and again.

My experience at the restaurant was truly wonderful. The place is comfortable and well-organized, and the atmosphere is relaxing from the moment you walk in. The food is so delicious that you'll want to come back again and again; every dish was perfectly flavored and presented. The service was quick, and the staff were friendly and attentive to the customer without being intrusive. Honestly, it's an experience I'd repeat, and I recommend it to anyone who loves good food and a peaceful atmosphere.

The seating area is very nice and the service is very good.

The most beautiful Arabic restaurant in Amsterdam, with the most delicious food. It's run by very respectable Iraqis, and they have great shisha in comfortable Arabic-style seating. It's on the second floor; the only downside is it's a short walk from the city center. But believe me, you won't regret visiting it at all.

Their food is delicious, and the restaurant serves halal food. A thousand thanks to the restaurant staff, and a special mention to Sister Hadeel, who was very helpful. May God reward her.

I thank Sister Hadeel for her warm welcome and hospitality, and I also thank the staff at the restaurant. Honestly, the food was absolutely delicious, may God bless it! 👍🏼❤️

Wonderful and the food is delicious 😋

The taste it’s just like gulf resturant we pleased that we choose this place very clean and customers service was great

The best food in the Netherlands! And add to that, I'm serving Syrian arak, something truly luxurious.

The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is fantastic. If there were a ten-star rating system, I'd give it ten. Thank you for this service.

The best restaurant we ate at in Amsterdam, it's worth every penny. The food is delicious and their grilled meats are amazing, a must-try.

The food is sooo delicious, the service is unforgettable and the environment is chill. Therefore, I’ll give it a 10/10 🙏🏻

The service is very good, the food is delicious, and the place is 100% clean and tidy.

Miss Hadeel informed us that you're going to remove the kibbeh labanieh from the menu. Honestly, I come all the way from Zfula just to eat kibbeh at this restaurant. If it's removed, I won't come again. Please don't remove it and let us enjoy your meal.

Excellent service and food - came fast and let us customise which is always a plus! :) The staff were super lovely and accommodating and portions were perfect!

A truly wonderful restaurant in terms of service, food quality, and view.

I ate at an Iraqi restaurant called Ghuzi, and the meat and kibbeh with yogurt sauce were excellent, God willing. I thank the restaurant staff for their excellent service and wonderful hospitality.

Honestly, there's nothing better or smarter food than this! The kibbeh labanieh is a masterpiece, and Al-Mashari's is amazing. I recommend everyone come and try these authentic Arabic dishes. I give it a 100% rating, and give Cheb Khaled a shout-out; he deserves it! 👍

The food was passable, and the place wasn't very clean. We expected a warmer welcome and atmosphere, but that wasn't the case.

The food is incredibly tasty ❤️

The moussaka was good, the lamb ghuzi was good, the mixed grill was very average, and the stuffed grape leaves were very ordinary.

Very good food, especially the Haliumin, absolutely magical

Really good, don't hesitate to go!

This is a frequent experience, and I especially thank Sultan for his excellent service.

Touristic trap. Food is good borders on average. Waiter was nice but the service leaves to be desired. The waiters were engaged in private conversation/on their phones, that we had to go get them to order, multiple times. The hygiene level is concerning, especially when you look at the kitchen and the bathroom.

The place is absolutely wonderful and perfect for families. The food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you so much to the chef; the food was beyond amazing!

Very good service! The food was superb!

The kebab was authentically Iraqi. The moussaka was delicious. The rice was smoky and had a wonderful flavor. A truly special experience.

Staff is very friendly and one of the best food i ever had

A truly wonderful experience! The staff were professional and respectful, the food was delicious and of high quality, the service was quick, and the atmosphere was comfortable and pleasant. I thank the restaurant management and staff for their professionalism and warm welcome. We will definitely be returning, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Very good food, the guys give an amazing service and the location is a cute comfortable space. I really enjoyed!

The dining experience at this restaurant was wonderful by all standards. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and the food was delicious and carefully prepared. I would especially like to thank Sultan for his high-class service and great attention to detail. He was very professional, courteous, and deserves all the appreciation for his efforts, which made my experience even better. 👏 I advise anyone visiting the restaurant to ask for Sultan, as he truly adds great value to the place! I will definitely be back again.

A lovely, relaxing atmosphere and the food is very delicious.

Excellent resturant Wonderful dishes

A respectable place with excellent service, outstanding food, and a respectable and wonderful team.

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful experience at your restaurant 🌟 The food was absolutely delicious, and each dish had a unique flavor that reflects your attention to detail and the quality of your ingredients 👌 The service was excellent and fast, and the staff were incredibly respectful and courteous. Honestly, it's one of the best restaurants I've ever visited, and I'll definitely be back soon, God willing ❤

The food was good, the benches weren't really comfortable! But the service was really slow, it was very busy and there were few staff.

The food was more than wonderful, the reception was amazing, and the service was more than wonderful.

The place is nice and the food is even better. I really liked it and highly recommend it.

The service was fast and the treatment was good.

good staf nice food thank you❤️

The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, with warm lighting and charming decor. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Riyadh, Rose , Handel all them were awesome and friendly.

The food is excellent and the location is close to the center.

Delicious food – authentic and well-prepared. Friendly staff; we received prompt and attentive service. We'd gladly return!

Shisha/hookah/cachimba don’t go there if you want to try shisha or cachimba, the prices in google maps says that are around 17-20 and then inside there aren’t any prices in the shisha menu and then they charge you 30-35 €, even though al this problems, the shisha wasn’t even good, the coals were cold and it only lasted a couple minutes and you couldn’t smoke it

The best experience in all of Amsterdam!!!! Delicious food! Riad

The atmosphere is not as expected. Prices are high , and the food is moderate

The pictures showed Turkish food, so I trusted them and ordered baklava and tea. The tea came in tea bags, and the baklava was served warm. I don't want to say it was bad, but it didn't taste like what I was used to. I asked and was told it was Syrian-Iraqi cuisine.

Masha'Allah the food is very delicious, the preparations are beautiful, and it's in the heart of Amsterdam. The service is very good.

The staff were very nice and welcomed us well. The meals were delicious and the portions were appropriate. A repeat experience.

Thanks to the staff at the Iraqi restaurant. Their food is excellent and their hookah is really delicious.

Great selection and top quality 👌

Best service and very tasty food

The best falafel wraps and generally delicious food. We'll be eating here again on our next trip to Amsterdam!
