Restaurant Black Olive Amsterdam in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

One of the rare restaurants I give all-five 😍 from the first step in till the very last step out, everything was awesome with no exception. You should definitely go and have a dine in. I loved the vibe of staff and the owner as well as their sweet treats. All Dishes were served with abundant portions and they were tasty!

Impeccable from start to finish. Whoever comes to Amsterdam, don't miss it. Requires reservation.

The Restaurant is truly worth recommending! The food was incredibly delicious and of high quality. The waitstaff was very attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. We were even offered a complimentary dessert along with two glasses of water. Overall, an excellent experience!

We had a really good dining experience at Black Olive, the food was delicious, with creative dishes and intense flavors. But what really made our experience special was the service. All waiters were extremely attentive and friendly, always ready to help and advise. The service was quick and efficient, without having to wait too long between courses. Overall, our experience here was excellent. If you're in Amsterdam and looking for a place to enjoy a delicious meal and top-notch service, this is definitely the place to visit. You won't be disappointed.

It was a great evening all around, very friendly, very clean, very attentive and quick service!

I would definitely recommend it, -The place is clean, -Food and snacks are very delicious, -The staff is caring and relevant,

Great service, very good atmosphere, very tasty food.

Very warm welcome, very generous portions and excellent cuisine

10 / 10 must go to Mediterranean restaurant!!

One of the few rare restaurants without racial discrimination. It's hard to find a place like this in Europe, but it was in front of the hotel. (This place is famous for being one of the best restaurants in Amsterdam, so I recommend making a reservation on Google!!) The mixed grill lamb and beef were seasoned just right without any odor, and the grilled salmon was also very delicious. The rice and grilled vegetables were really delicious. But the aperitif bread, sauce, and olives were the most delicious in the world haha. I almost couldn't eat because the reservations were full, so I went in because they asked if it would be okay to eat for just an hour. (For Koreans, a 20-minute meal is enough haha.) The taste, service, and atmosphere are all perfect. A place where you can feel the warmth that you must visit when you come to Amsterdam. If you visit Monet Garden, be sure to visit!!!!

We had a very nice dinner. Thank you.

Excellent restaurant with friendly staff

We landed here by chance 2 years ago and were more than satisfied. Eating here has become routine every time you visit Amsterdam. Very friendly staff, diverse offerings and the ambience are a 10/10 ✨ The dishes are incredibly appetizing. The efforts of the owner cannot be overlooked, thank you for the pleasant stay with you!

Magnificent restaurant, go there with your eyes closed! The quality of the food is impeccable, the atmosphere warm and the service impeccable. They even offered us appetizers and tea. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would without hesitation!

The restaurant was very good between the setting, the service and the food everything was very good however a little slow between courses

Delicious food! Good service and a very pleasant atmosphere. Those mezzes are really delicious! We will definitely come back again

Excellent food, very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

We had an incredible experience celebrating our wedding anniversary, and Costa truly made the night unforgettable. As our waiter, he was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We even had a surprise dessert with fireworks!.. The food was absolutely delicious, and the entire evening was flawless. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience! Thank you, Costa, for making our special night even more memorable.

A busy restaurant with a lively atmosphere and excellent staff. Every member of staff was helpful and with a great sense of humour. Food was superb. We all had lamb dishes which were flavoursome, plentiful and very well cooked. Great place, well worth a visit.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We booked a Christmas dinner for 13 people. Restaurant is decorated with taste, with large olive trees and fireplaces. The food was good.

The food is excellent, the leg of lamb was succulent The atmosphere is good, the service is top notch, very warm, really a very good place, very good value for money 👌🏼

Nice restaurant with great staff. Thanks for the BVOs ;)

We had dinner there with a group and from the moment we entered there was a very pleasant atmosphere and the staff was incredibly friendly. The tapas were versatile, the olives and olive oil (from Crete) that were on the table were of top quality. All dishes were served in an appetizing style and all types of meat (in the mix grill dish) were wonderfully tender and perfectly seasoned. It wasn't too overpowering and you could still taste the natural flavor of that piece of chicken, minced meat and lamb skewer. The dessert was also just the right amount and the Turkish coffee I ordered was prepared for me with all the care and time required. I enjoyed it immensely. I felt like a guest in their home instead of their restaurant. I definitely recommend Black Olive and I will definitely go back.

Top restaurant, very tasty food and thanks for the beers on the road!!

Very tasty food! The service was also very friendly.. The atmosphere is super nice and cozy. I can only leave good things there! We'd love to come back :)

We had an amazing time at Black Olive restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. It was such a lovely experience, and I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Amsterdam. Merci 😊

Everything was excellent. The reception is very warm, fast service, delicious food, very good wine

Very good food! Attentive service! Excellent friendly environment! Affordable prices!!! 30-11-24! UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT IN AMSTERDAM!!!

What a warm welcome upon arrival, very sweet staff, experienced and very fast. The Tapas Mezes main and desserts are delicious and it is a pleasure to eat here. Unfortunately I don't have more stars to tick, but from me you get a big 10.

Friendly people, tasty food and fantastic service! Definitely recommended

Had the group menu, tasty snacks and main courses. Real value for money. Friendly service.

Very good food! Worth the experience!! Best restaurant in AMSTERDAM!!!

Very good service and delicious food

Top service, Top food, Top atmosphere. Really tasty food

simply the best mediterranean/turkish restaurant in amsterdam - in food quality, location, taste and service. i’ve been to many restaurants, but Black Olive and Restaurant Olijfje next door are my absolute favourites. make sure to try famous appetizers. highly recommend for a nice evening in the city center & also suitable for groups.

5 stars! Food is fresh and delicious Staff is the friendliest and most kind! Top notch place! You wont regret going!

In Amsterdam, where I had been wandering around hungry for two days, I saw his name and went in thinking that even though he was not one of ours, at worst he was either Greek or Italian. It was a relief to see our pasha on the wall 😀 This is probably the best restaurant in Amsterdam. Be sure to evaluate it.

Excellent meal from start to finish! Our group had a variety of meat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes, all of which were delicious. Service was also fantastic and the staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Amsterdam!

One of the best, maybe the best turkish restaurant in europe! Bravo!!!

Attractive interior and friendly service. We had some tapas snacks and a drink and we really enjoyed it! Delicious bread with hummus, tasty tapas, it was just fun. We will go back again for the main courses!

Best restaurant and service ever and that comes from a Rotterdammer.

Very good food and wine. The only thing wrong was the wine glasses 😉😊

Delicious food and super tasty meat. Friendly service with good suggestions.

We were on vacation in Amsterdam and found this restaurant thanks to the very good reviews. We tried it and were not disappointed! Great welcome, the dishes were excellent and we even had 2 desserts offered even though we hadn't ordered! It was really a very good experience! Go there with your eyes closed but remember to book, online on their site, it's reliable! Thank you Blackolive Amsterdam!

The service, food and ambiance were all fantastic! The baklava was insane. Highly, HIGHLY recommend this spot!!!

Delicious food and amazing restaurant

Exceptional restaurant!!! Excellent food and service!!! Special thanks to Kostas and all the staff who did their best for us to have an amazing experience!!!

We went there at least 3 to 4 times over a two week period. Excellent food and excellent service!

Nice restaurant, great service and good food, only the noise is annoying.

The restaurant is worth a visit. Quality, taste, service, and respect all come together in this restaurant, and my rating for it is 10/10. I also add the elegance and generosity of the restaurant. It is worth a visit.. and I have another visit, God willing.

BEST RESTAURANT IN TOWN!!!! GREETINGS FROM MOLDOVA!!!

Good food and excellent service. We were a group of 12 and we all really enjoyed the food and atmosphere of this restaurant. Spicy food was not too spicy. We ordered sharing platters and there was enough food for everyone at a reasonable price.

Great place to have dinner with a group of people.

I was first struck by how sleek and modern the decor was. It was a beautifully done establishment. The service and food were both fantastic. Ordered lamb kafta and vegetarian dish. Everything we ordered was flavorful, the bread to start was soft and warm. Good sized portions not too much.

Amazing food! It made our trip to Amsterdam one to remember! The stuff is really nice, polite and very helpful! Reasonable price! Kostas very friendly guy! The lamp and the chicken were absolutely delicious! They also served us baklava in the end as a treat! Thank you guys! You do an amazing job here ! Don’t miss this place!

We were warmly welcomed by the owner of this magnificent restaurant, where we stopped by to drink soup, and plenty of treats were served to our table. Both the soup and the appetizers tasted really good. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

We walked in completely by chance without knowing it. When they realized that we were Turkish, they were very interested and offered treats. It's a very high quality venue and the food is delicious and flattering.

Professional service and delicious appetizers and entrees served in a tasteful and sleek environment. Yes!

Among the best food in Amsterdam, alongside excellent service! I loved every bite that I ate, finished my plates, and can't wait to come back. Prawns, chicken, lamb, all delicious.

Excellent food, service and great vibe!! Thank you for everything! Anden and Constantino, we'll be back!

It's a restaurant in Amsterdam where you can taste really good flavors and be completely satisfied. The owners and staff are really attentive and when they understand that you are Turkish, they really care, their treats are nice.

Yesterday we enjoyed an amazing dinner at Black Olive restaurant and I can't help but leave a five star review. The Turkish food was sublime! Every dish was wonderfully fresh and full of flavor, from starters to main courses and desserts. A real culinary journey through Turkish cuisine. The restaurant was also super hygienic, which immediately gave a good impression, which is extremely important to me. The service was also excellent. The staff was super friendly, attentive and made us feel right at home. An extra compliment goes to the fact that we asked to decorate the room for a bride-to-be concept. Without any effort they provided a beautiful and attractive decoration, exactly as we had in mind. It made the evening even more special! The location is also a big plus, the restaurant is easily accessible and in a prime location. And then there is the decor: warm, cozy and perfect for a relaxing evening. In short, you've come to the right place for delicious food, a hospitable atmosphere and excellent service. I will definitely come back again!

Very warm welcome service was great very pleasant and delicious food it was great thank you again👍👍👍👏👏👏

perfect food, very friendly and attentive staff, the best decision to eat here.

The restaurant where legendary tastes meet 😍 The place that makes you feel like eating is love. You should definitely come and try it.

They treated us wonderfully, we were a group of 24 and we loved the menu. All very rich. They were very attentive and diligent.

Very slow service and terrible food. The atmosphere is good for a few beers if you don't mind being served half an hour after ordering it

Best food experience of Amsterdam thus far. Yes the food is amazing, but having a great staff really makes a place stand out - this place has that! Thanks for a fantastic meal

very nice place, cportions are unusually generous for this country, and the service extremelly atentive

We spent only two days in the city and went twice. We saw a review recommending the restaurant and we decided to give it a try. We went for dinner and the food was really good but what made us want to come back was definitely the service. The staff is so nice and attentive, i am not exaggerating when i say, they made our day better, we spent the rest of the night talking about how good and genuine the service was. We had never been to the restaurant or heard of it before, and we were treated like regulars. Jairo and Demirkan took care of us both times; they are extremely nice and gave us great service. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and even more if you like mediterranean food.

Great, before and after food, appetizers, service, top 10, we felt at home, thank you

We ate properly and economically in Amsterdam. Thank you very much to the team. Crying was breath.

The best place i have been eating in Amsterdam so fresh food,very good service and atmosphere

A clean and high quality restaurant in Amsterdam, meeting Turkish standards. The food and presentation are nice. Frosting is recommended. The owners are from Adana, but Adana does not meet expectations. The owners are friendly people. Baklava and tea are very nice. If you ever come to Amsterdam, be sure to stop by.

The food and atmosphere were very nice. We ate soup, lamb kusleme, mixed kebab and Adana. It was all very delicious. Baklava came as a treat. Also, thank you for the treats.

I am writing a review about a restaurant that I experienced for the first time and I believe it deserves it. The food, customer satisfaction, the attention of the owner Can and the attitude of the waiters made us very satisfied and we left happy. If I ever come to Amsterdam again, I will definitely stop by again.

A very high quality restaurant in every aspect, a place where those who visit will definitely be satisfied.

Fantastic. We made online reservation that they did not see. They quickly pulled together a temporary seating arrangement and proceeded to feed us with what seemed like endless tapas dishes. This was their way of apologizing. By the time we finished our tapas, a large table was set and ready for us. We proceeded to order entrees and drinks…..all of which were outstanding. I travel to Amsterdam on business regularly and have added this place to my “go to” list. Great service, great food.

The food was great 🎉🎉 I especially recommend the baked lamb tandoori. We went as a family. There is a meatball menu for children. The location is nice. The staff and the manager were friendly and welcoming. We recommend you to try it.

excellent taste, excellent service

I haven't eaten so well in a long time. The products are really very fresh and varied. So if you are in the Amsterdam area, eating here is a MUST. Very friendly family business and really humorous! The ambience also offers a comfortable atmosphere.

What a wonderful experience at Black Olive! The food was absolutely delicious, every course was a true taste sensation from the freshness of the ingredients to the perfect balance of flavors, everything was taken care of down to the last detail. The staff made it even better; they were extremely friendly and really made us feel welcome. Their attention to detail and personal service completed the evening. A place where you will definitely return for both the food and the warm, hospitable atmosphere!"

Price performance not justified. Standard quality for a high price. “Homemade” sauces are a joke. The restaurant would have more potential if recipes were improved.

Amazing food and service! The wait staff was accommodating and patient with our requests! Definitely recommend! The rice, lamb kebab, and pastrami humus was to die for! They were even nice enough to gift us some baklava! 🧡

Every thing was great. Great food great service nice people. 😊

Everything is wonderful. you should definitely go

Amazing place with fantastic atmosphere, incredible food and great + friendly staff! We went all-in on a few shared plates so that we could sample a lot of meats at once and everything tasted absolutely killer, with distinguishable variety in marinades, cooking techniques and a large amount of grilling mastery applied to each cut of protein. Other culinary items worth mentioning are the fantastic olives, the great bread, the tzatziki is to die for and finally the atmosphere which is very suitable for a Mediterranean restaurant. Overall, this one goes for the fiver across the board.

Delicious food, friendly service, clean and beautifully decorated. Price quality is top. Definitely recommended.

We had a very delicious farewell dinner to Amsterdam. The service more than excellent. Our waiter Jairo 🇪🇨. Always very attentive. The food is all delicious. How to return!

A great place to dine. Nice, very good food, great service and correct price

The food, the staff and the owner of the establishment himself make the atmosphere of the establishment unforgettable. Thanks to all participants!!!

[my Dutch review is below]: Black Olive restaurant is awesome! I bet everything on the menu is killer. We got the Adana Kebab, and it was great. They hooked us up with some starters and bread - no clue what they're called, but man, they were tasty. For dessert, we tried the Katmer, and my friends and I loved it. The staff was super friendly, and the place looks modern and clean. Totally recommend checking it out! —————————— [Dutch review]: Restaurant Black Olive is really great! I think everything on the menu is just delicious. We had the Adana Kebab, and it was really good. We also got some starters with bread - no idea what they are called, but they were super tasty. For dessert we tried the Katmer, and my friends and I all loved it. The staff was very nice, and the place looks modern and clean. Highly recommended to try!

Food was good, portions are a bit small. Overall good experience. 4 stars for the staff that cleaned and took food out of my table while I was at the restroom(was literally away for 2 minutes and when I got back to my table there was nothing). They have to re-do the dish and drinks.

The staff is really very pleasant and very efficient. The panel management is impeccable. Clean and well decorated. The kitchen is perfect. Hearty and generous. The cooked meat is tender, juicy and flavorful. Thank you to the whole team for this restaurant.

Discovered by chance, really exceptionally chic furnishings and thought out down to the last detail, hyper clean and the food is very high quality for a reasonable price.

Ordered the lamb shoulder for two and it was phenomenal! The meat was so tender and just fell off the bone, came with both rice and patatas bravas which were both really nice too. Would definitely recommend!

Very good restaurant, quality cuisine and warm and appreciative service, thank you for your welcome, we recommend 100%, without forgetting the magnificent decor

The food is Super Delicious, the owner is super nice. He offered us more than what we wanted. I just finished the starters and can not wait for the main dish.

Went there by chance and I have to say we were pleasantly surprised. Super delicious food, top service and the atmosphere is really nice. When we are back in Amsterdam we will be happy to stop by again… Can really only recommend…

I would eat here just for the friendliness and willingness of the staff/owner to give you a wonderful evening with damn good food. The Icli kofte (meat and vegetarian) is recommended, but the Fellah kofte was delicious as I know it from Adana. There is something for everyone and the family who came over from Spain loved it. Thanks for the beautiful and pleasant evening and see you soon!
