Pera restaurant Grillroom in Van Galenbuurt

Great as always, top food, top quality. You get what you pay for. I would love to come back here more often!

Very bad place. Very expensive and poor quality food. The staff is also very unfriendly and aggressive. I would not come here again.

Worst place in Amsterdam. Used to be ok but now you pay €50 for 2 meals and it is dog food. The meal on the picture was €20,-

Highly recommended! What a great place to enjoy delicious and authentic Turkish food! From the moment you walk in, you feel incredibly welcome. The hospitality, the friendly people, and the cozy atmosphere make the picture complete. The food is truly fantastic! Everything tastes wonderfully fresh, is prepared with care, and is bursting with flavor. The meat, in particular, deserves a huge compliment: incredibly tender, juicy, and perfectly prepared. You can simply taste the quality and the love with which the cooking goes. This is truly enjoying Turkish cuisine! What makes this place extra special to me is the amazing service. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and hospitable. Here, you are not just a customer; you truly feel like a valued guest. And as a lovely finishing touch, you are also offered delicious Turkish tea on the house. A beautiful gesture that shows how important hospitality is here. The combination of delicious food, excellent quality, a pleasant atmosphere, and genuine friendliness makes this a real TOP PLACE for me! Many hospitality businesses could learn a thing or two from this. Everything is just right, from the very first moment to the last cup of tea. We will absolutely be back here with great pleasure. Highly recommended for anyone who loves delicious Turkish food and genuine hospitality. Keep up the good work and, above all, stay just the way you are! 👏

Mustafa and Sergen are really good tradesmen.

The best shawarma in Amsterdam; it is quite pricey, but the quality is there. The clientele varies, from tracksuits to normal people. So takeout is better.

Best shawarma sandwich I've never eaten!!

Lovely place! Was my first time there, I just got some fries for take away. The people taking the order and preparing it were super kind and the food was quite nice!

The worst restaurant I have ever visited. No hesitation. I was starving and in a rush, and that was the only reason I walked in. The place is dirty, and the food tastes completely joyless. Do yourself a favor and stay away. I genuinely would have preferred to remain hungry

Shawarma is no longer what it used to be; Meat is now minced meat, what used to be small is now a large bun. Shrinkage and high prices at Pera

Had a delicious breakfast! We were helped incredibly kindly by a very sweet young man who works there. He was very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommended! 😊

vry nice foooood we stayed in amsterdam for 3 days and had food here for 2 evenings reasonable price and great amount of food, nicely seasoned.

We loved our dinner here. Very friendly and polite staff who spoke English really well. A great varied Turkish menu and food was delicious! It was relatively busy but food was served quickly and it was hot too. They had a good allergen menu as well so it was easy to order knowing what you could eat! Thank you!

Very tasty! The restaurant is also beautifully decorated. Wide selection.

Shamelessly charging €12 for a shawarma sandwich? And that sandwich isn't filled? I think €12 for a shawarma sandwich is excessively expensive!! Next time I'll go to Mesut; you get a filled sandwich there.

I bought shoarma bread for the first time yesterday and it was really delicious. The staff were friendly and even offered me ayran (a yogurt drink). I was very pleased :)

Tasty food. Good service. Grilled meat is fresh and well marinated.

The soup was at least 3 days old, watery, and tasteless.

Tasty food Also good service. Nice guys and men working there We will definitely come back

Has a new hammam opened in the west? I don't know. It was scandalous. I was here today; it felt like a sauna inside, it was 40 degrees. I don't understand why there is no air conditioning in such a popular restaurant. I hope the owner is reading this, because I won't be coming here again.

It is incredible that the quality and taste have remained consistently good since 2015. The service has also remained excellent.

The food is great, it would be even better if there was air conditioning.

What lovely people work here, and the food is delicious!

Came for the Ayran, stayed for the meats

Received a warm welcome, but after the meal it took a while before we could order dessert. The soup is delicious!

Had a super delicious meal here, definitely recommended!!

Just ate here, really a top-notch place! Definitely recommended!!1

Had a delicious meal with a large group! Just our apologies for the noisiness! It was also very enjoyable.

Excellent portions, friendly waiters and cooks. The dessert was delicious too!

Amsterdam shawarma is on another level. The staff are also super friendly and attentive, as always.

I have always been satisfied and the portions are large; I recommend the shawarma and chicken breast with rice to everyone.

We broke our fast here today. Because we had made a reservation, the food was on the table quickly. Fast service and truly delicious food. We come here often, all the way from Delft. It is just a shame that they sell drinks from brands that support the genocide.

A lovely Turkish restaurant with a variety of grilled dishes, soups, and complimentary tea; a perfect place.

A very good adress where everyone can feel at home ! Food is delicious too.

Delicious food, tastiest shawarma so far

We are satisfying our hunger with delicious food at affordable prices. We look forward to you opening a branch in Utrecht.

Delicious food, fast service and a nice atmosphere!

Absurd prices for what you pay and also small portions, I had to count how many grams of shawarma are in it

Best shawarma I've ever had. Clean restaurant and super friendly service.

Good quality and waiter Sergen always friendly

Paid 30 euros for 2 kebabs and 2 drinks which is a bit of a ripoff. sure I'll pay 30 for a good kebab, which this was not. Driest meat in a stale bread, for a top price.

It has become way too expensive and the portions have also become less filling.

Halal restaurant, beautifully and neatly decorated. Always excellent food, the only place where I eat döner or shoarma, and they have a lot of other tasty menu options as well, nice to try something else every time. Good prices. Very friendly, polite, and hardworking staff. Service is fast and efficient, and as a woman, I am always treated with respect. They are humble, sometimes even declining tips. We've never had a bad experience, and we visit regularly (we will keep doing so)

Ridiculously EXPENSIVE prices here: €26.50 for a small shawarma sandwich and fries. It was my last time.

I just ordered two shawarma sandwiches, but it was absolutely awful. The bread was rock hard, like it had come straight out of the freezer. The meat was tough and almost inedible. On top of that, I had to pay a whopping €24 for two sandwiches, which was ridiculous. The service was also terrible.

The best shawarma restaurant in Amsterdam! Very spicy! I'd known them since I was pregnant with my eldest child 24 years ago, when my husband worked the evening shift and would pick up those delicious sandwiches in the middle of the night. Every time I go to Amsterdam, I always come back to eat there and also to takeaway, which comes with extra sauce.

Tasty but crazy expensive, two shawarma sandwiches 24 euros and they were small sandwiches too

Delicious food and friendly service

Very Bad service and the staff were rude

One of those turkish restaurants where you can experience that authentic feeling like you are in Türkiye

Shawarma sandwich for €12,- Where are we going?

Last time I come here. Sandwich came completely soaked in oil the other day, made me feel sick. The dish my wife ordered, same story layer of oil at the bottom!! This place was great now I can't say that anymore. How bad this is.... Today 24/06/2025 Took another try. Same again here are some photos. Do something about it, people pay money!

What a great service and delicious food! We went to the restaurant spontaneously without a reservation and were very well taken care of. A lot of attention to our special birthday Jop in the wheelchair. Super <3

Shocked at the checkout! Two shawarma sandwiches at €12 each! Platter €22 and fries €4.5! Never again! It's not that tasty for that price. Customer lost.

Ate a delicious leg of lamb. Very hospitable...

This is a Turkish restaurant where they do everything right. I always go for the shawarma with fries. The shawarma here is really fantastically tasty. The sauces are on the table so you can take as much as you want. The sandwich is really super tasty. I dare say the best shawarma sandwich in Amsterdam West! In addition, the welcome is always very friendly and there is traditional Turkish music. After the meal you always get a "tea on the house". That makes it complete. In short: super friendly people, tasty shawarma and also affordable.

I've been coming here for years and the food is always great. Staff are nice and there is always good service. The shawarma in particular is really delicious and highly recommended.

Always good food if you like Turkish food

Bread Shoarma here was really great. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very warm and friendly. The employees were also extremely friendly and attentive. Greetings especially to our brothers from Nevşehir, they gave us a very nice experience. We will definitely come again!

1 of the best shawarma in Amsterdam. Staff is nice Just a shame about the portions. It could be a little more for the price you pay for it.

A grill restaurant, welcoming, large and clean. We were invited and I tried the Shoarma for the first time, I liked it, it was good 👌🏼

Well, I felt like going to a hair salon again for once. Thought I'd try something new. Finally I ended up here. Everything was beautiful, nice and cozy until my hair salon arrived. I literally found 4 hairs in my hair salon. Well, with the first 2 I thought yes, this could be mine, but with the third I was done with it. Disgusting tent. We also discussed this with the waiter, but received no response. I also had to pay for it even though I barely ate. I'll never come here again!

The restaurant is incredible and the food is very well served. Wonderful typically Turkish service. I made a friend while I was in Amsterdam. Thank you very much! From your Brazilian friend.

Unfortunately, the doner kebab was very bad. my expectations A very inferior service. I definitely do not recommend it.

Het donervlees was muf en rook slecht. I went from Amsterdam to Den Haag to eat meat. I have never seen such a disgrace.

Always nice to eat here, good service and tasty food. And let's not forget the most important thing: not expensive😎 The shawarma with chicken fillet dish was really tasty. And after dinner of course a nice hot Turkish tea 😉

Delicious and affordable cuisine. Just a bit different from most kebab shops.

kelle paca only eaten water with a bit of herbs bahhhh it cost 14.00 to pay, it's a shame it used to be different

One of the best addresses for Turkish food in Amsterdam. Fast service

Delicious food, friendly staff, helpful and delivered within minutes. Definitely recommended!!!!

Very friendly personnel and delicious meat, cooked on spot.

Be it meat, chicken or soup... everything is very bad. I guess those who leave good comments have been feeding on garbage dumps for forty years. bad service, dirty table, disrespectful waiter. (Although this is normal, those who come to the Netherlands are upset in some ways :) The men who beg in Turkey act like they don't care.)

Been coming there for years. Good food. Friendly person. Hygienic.

Had just gotten into Amsterdam and not much else was open and so stopped in here at about 11:30pm. They were busy and for good reason. Staff were extremely friendly and nice. The food was great. Had the salad with feta and it was so fresh. We also had a shawarma wrap and kapsalon shawarma and both were excellent. Happy we stopped in and ate here.

You can eat the TASTIEST shawarma sandwich here folks. I come all the way from Delft to eat my shawarma sandwich here. DELICIOUS. And they are really customer friendly!

Simple fresh tasty Turkish grill/shawarma I literally drive 45 minutes for them! 😃

The best shawarma in Amsterdam and far beyond! Good portions too, in a real sandwich not one of those thin little supermarket things. Highly recommended! 2023 update; Still the very best! 2024 update; Still the very best quality. Beautiful business, a pearl for the city.

Very social and friendly. Both the owner and the staff. There is no shortage of food here. Very positive

I am from Istanbul (studying/residing in Amsterdam) and this is the only restaurant I found that tastes like home! Even top notch for home standards. The staff/cooks are awesome, and I even love the atmosphere/interior here. Would even bring a date. Definitely recommend. Cant wait to try more food here. Prices are good too! I recommend you try Kellepaça soup :)

My dear cousin and his wife took his family out to dinner and we were a large group. We were received very warmly and the team remained so sweet 💯🤩 while we were quite busy and our ordering was quite chaotic 🙈. The food is simply fantastic and tastes very authentic💯👊🏽 Thank you for the good service Team Pera and Stefano and Car thank you very much!!

Always friendly and very pleasant.

It's even more delicious than Turkey 🤤 😂 incredibly delicious, high quality, nice and spacious, the staff are completely different, nice, caring, never leave without eating chicken wings. Definitely stop by, I've become a regular now 🧿🧿🥰

Super friendly staff and the food was delicious Generous portions and the meat was well prepared, exactly to my taste Then another bowl of rice pudding, although, you can call it a bowl😏

Best shoarma in town hands down. As a resident of the east side of the city, I hope they’ll open a restaurant there! Delicious shoarma 😁

Had a delicious shawarma! Fast and friendly service on a Friday evening. More than enough seats and a large menu to order food

Nice and cozy atmosphere. The kapsalon shawarma was delicious.

Was delicious, friendly staff 🙂

The prices are extremely expensive, we couldn't find a decent place to eat in Amsterdam, parking fees are a disaster.

Best Turkish restaurant in town

The first place where I got fries after my sandwich, the boy who worked there gave a smart attitude when I asked for my fries. Meat was tasty

Heerlijke shoarma en Turkse thee,

Zeer vriendelijk personeel en heerlijk eten, het eten was er ook snel.

Het eten is altijd lekker. Organen vlees soep is heerlijk. Super vriendelijk personeel en snel.

Heerlijk eten en mals vlees. Toptent!! Service 10+

Vooral de koffie was onvergetelijk

Lovely place and foods, showarma delicious

Very nice food! Chicken soup and grilled chicken legs are amazing! Turkish tea is also very good👍🏼 And the staff is really nice and friendly, introduce different kinds of food patiently!!

Het eten was overheerlijk, tevens was alles heerlijk vers. Echt super die shoarma

Super lekker, vriendelijke personeel. Ik kom zeker terug!

9,50 voor een leeg broodje shoarma 👍 en onbeschofte mensen
