Sefa Restaurant BBQ & Grill-Room in Grachtengordel-West

A distinctive Turkish restaurant. We tried their chicken shawarma, which was really awesome, but they put cucumbers with it and the taste was great. We also had lamb chops, kofta, and kebab, which I think was really luxurious. Also, the hummus and potatoes were really awesome. Honestly, it's the best restaurant I've been to in Europe.

Don't miss the shawarma and hummus

Solid service, decent amount of seating, pretty usual menu. Food was fine but unmemorable. We got the donor chicken, "shoarma" and falafel plates. The salad veggies were good and fresh. The main course... a little dull. The falafel was overcooked and looked like it wasn't house made. The shoarma was barely better than browned ground beef. The donor chicken was easily the best. Plenty of sauces at the table regardless. Plates came with onion, picked cabbage, lettuce, tomato, and either fries or rice. Both fries and rice were good. They have us some sesame bread to start too. Three plates we're enough for the four of us, though we also got drinks. Prices were pretty run off the mill for the area.

Very good. Highly recommended Mix grill dish & Shawerma chicken with meat are very good

I was looking for a quick bite to eat in Amsterdam and came across this restaurant. We received a warm welcome and were told what we should eat given our situation. So we opted for a doner sandwich. It was a delicious snack, well-filled with meat, and not stingy. I'll definitely be back!

Great service and food, price was reasonable 10-20€ per person, overall really good grill.

If you love shawarma, you must try this restaurant. It is amazing. Hummus is also essential with shawarma.

Nice little spot for lunch. I ordered the chicken wrap and an iced tea — both were fresh and tasty. Service was fast, prices were reasonable, and the outdoor seating was a bonus. I'd come again for a casual bite.

The staff is extremely nervous, as if someone is forcing him to work. I don't know his name, but he has a very big head and is rude and disrespectful.

Chef is the best .number one 👍👍💯💯💯💥💥💥

Anyone visiting Amsterdam should definitely stop by and eat here. It's a great portion, tastes amazing, arrives quickly, and is definitely worth the price. You'll feel refreshed after finishing your tea.

“A friendly and clean restaurant close to the center of Amsterdam. The kebab, döner and grill varieties were very delicious. The portions were filling, and the prices were very reasonable compared to the European average. Our order came quickly, and the staff was friendly. The interior is very small. The fact that it was an alcohol-free environment was a plus for us. I definitely recommend it for those who miss Turkish cuisine or are looking for a good meal at an affordable price.

Food is delicious. I tried shawarma and chicken doner. The Soap was okay.

Great prices and delicious food

Great halal food and nice location. Very quick service and clean tables.

I came back for their halal lamb burger which is so good! Recommend this highly!

Delicious food, fresh and excellent variety, good value

Chicken doner is already great, grilled varieties are also excellent👍 highly recommended👌

My recent visit to a Turkish restaurant in Amsterdam was a highlight of my trip. The shoarma served there was outstanding and easily the best I've tasted in the city. The chef demonstrated impressive mastery on the grill, contributing to an overall excellent dining experience. 10/10 would recommend

I don't know why they put the name "Restaurants" it even smaller than a cafe and no proper sitting place and expensive too.

The welcome and service were great, I especially recommend the Adana wrap

The best Döner for a quick dinner! And priced very fairly too.

For sure No.1 in Amsterdam. Great service. High quality food. On time. Everything is clean.

Sefa's shoarma is abnormally delicious. My new favorite in Amsterdam!!💪🏼💪🏼 friendly & super fast ready. Toppers

Great food plus the bathrooms were really clean. Goated ong frfr respectfully

My go to restaurant when I visit Amsterdam. Tasty food and great service!

Sefa is a great halal Turkish restaurant located in the heart of Amsterdam, directly in front of Westerkerk. The prices are fair, and the respectful, welcoming treatment from the staff made the experience even better. I enjoyed chatting with the employees—they were friendly and genuine. The food was exactly what I hoped for: fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I’ll definitely be visiting again and again. Thank you!

modern turkish vibe and large portion of food served by very attentive waiter. nice cozy place suitable for family.

Excellent ☺️ Thank you for the warm welcome and the delicious dishes prepared with fresh ingredients! If you like good meat, you've come to the right place. Tip: don't miss their pistachio baklava ;)

There was no meat doner. There was only chicken doner. The menu said 7.5 €. We said that. But the waiter told us that you can't eat wraps if you are sitting at the table. He said you should at least eat the menu, it is a crowded shop. And he forced us to bring a menu for 14 euros. The fries on the menu were not good at all. The staff is Turkish. I didn't like the treatment at all. First they offer you the mixed grill. They want you to take it.... In short, if I go there again, I definitely won't go there...

Amazing food and very fresh meat. I was here with a friend and we loved it , you shoukd try their kofte is simply on of the beat in Amsterdam.

Very, very tasty kebab! The meat was juicy, not overcooked, the salad and other ingredients were fresh, the bread was slightly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside—everything as it should be. The fries were also great. What I liked most was that the sauces were on the table, so you could not only taste them but also take as much as you wanted. The sauces were incredibly delicious. The service was also friendly and quick. The restrooms were clean. Highly recommended.

Amazing place, first time that I was with my wife and was good taste, good sauces and good costumer service

Really nice and flavorful food. Addicted since I found this place

Very good quality and reasonable prices. Fast service.

The taste is delicious and the quantity is large compared to the price.

The restaurant is excellent, the service is excellent, the baklava is excellent. The order taker, Mikail, is respectful, well-mannered, and always smiling. “This restaurant is excellent. The baklava dessert is excellent.” “The order taker, Mikail, is respectful, well-mannered, and always smiling.”

A very delicious Turkish restaurant, excellent service, and delicious baklava. I thank those in charge of it.

We ate here twice – really good food! Fresh, warm bread, tasty döner, nice sauces, and friendly service. It’s a humble, no-frills place, but being open until midnight is a big plus.

It was the first time to eat rice in 4 days. Anyway, I ordered a set meal of 18.5 + 1 bottle of Coke = 21 euros. Because I didn't eat for a day, I ate a lot as a boy. Under normal circumstances, it's okay within 20 euros. I think the rice can be a little sweet. It's an authentic Turkish meal. In fact, the small restaurant is very good, the quantity is large and affordable, it's so simple and practical.

Fantastic food, well served portions. The seasoning was fantastic..we got the mixed grill for 2 and was very satisfied. The price was reasonable too. Strongly recommend

Mejor cena en Amsterdam, gente cálida y servicial. si quieres probar primo turco no te olvides de hacer una visita. 5 estrellas.

The best döner I have ever eaten in Amsterdam.

We only went because it was halal. But we regretted it. The food was not of good quality. Also, there was no tea or price on the menu. They asked if we could have tea after the meal. We accepted. We thought it was a treat. Then the waiter asked if we could have another cup of tea. We said it with pleasure. They said the tea was 1.5 Euros at the cash register. They also said it was cheaper than Turkey as if they were joking. I said they don't charge for tea after a meal in our country. Again, they used a strange sentence like I don't charge at places where you eat a lot. We paid and left. I will definitely not go there again.

I liked it very much! Excellent service, pleasant atmosphere. Very tasty, fresh products and reasonable price. Thank you!

Friendly service, clean environment and great food. Top quality kebab and very well served!

Good food and great service. A big 10.

Thank you for Hospitality And the For Your delicious food

Best and tastiest doner in the Netherlands

I cannot help but say that it is an excellent restaurant with its quality service and attention to customers. Five stars for taste. A restaurant that visitors should definitely visit. Thank you.

I loved the sauces, I was very surprised that it was free. Service and service were very good. It will be my go-to place every time I come.

The best place in Amsterdam for a quick grill meal. The owner is there every day from morning to evening, with a heart for the business. Really great! Greetings, Mathijs.

100% halal food at best price. And, they don't serve liquor along with food. Best option for those who are looking for Halal food.

Hands down Top 3 chicken shawarma in my 46 years of life. It’s probably fighting for first or second . This was no ordinary chicken. The preparation, the sauce, it was perfection wrapped in a beautifully warmed gorgeous piece of unleavened bread. If food was an actress from the past, this was Marilyn Monroe. Delicious and gorgeous. We all get hungry in the city, if you’re passing by, it’s well worth it

One of the best and most affordable kebab döner I have had in Europe. Especially when this place is in Amsterdam

Excellent experience in this Turkish restaurant! All the dishes were very generous, delicious and not too greasy, which is nice. The staff is really friendly, special mention to Mike, smiling and professional! The service is fast. Honestly, well done! I recommend without hesitation

I come from bx and in the name of god it's one of the best kebabs I've eaten everything is perfect I love the chef

The food is delicious, and they’re always so welcoming. I almost always end the meal with a nice cup of Turkish tea.

The food was very bad and the service was just as poor. They brought the wrong dishes and didn’t make any real effort to fix the mistake.”

Food was amazing, the service was great and the prices were decent. lots of sauces at the table and the portions are generous. Nothing to complain about

Had the Lamb Shawarma sandwich and it was huge. Flavor was ok but the meat was too finely diced. The sandwich came apart almost immediately and soon you will be using your hands. Toilets are free for customers and it was close to the Anne Frank house. Overall a good place for a quick bite and shelter from the rain.

The restaurant is a simple fast food restaurant, nothing special apart from their baklawa

Everything was very nice, thank you to the master...

I've been eating at Safa every time I've been in Amsterdam for 4 years and it's always a pleasure

Everything perfect food amazin..!

Even though it was in the city center, we had affordable prices and quality Turkish food. I recommend it to everyone..!!

I wish, I could give less than one star. Rude owner power service.

Rude staff. Paid too much and got aggressiveness in return.

The owner was very rude he didn’t put the things as I requested I visited him many times it’s been almost a year now he was totally rude and didn’t give me the food I request and paid for it I have asked to translate one thing he got angry on me

Poor service. The owner was aggressive. He was about to fight with us.

Very rude people, make you wait for really long unnecessarily without customers

It’s a nice Halal Turkish restaurant in Amsterdam. The food was good, we took the mix grill platter and falafel. It was good. We also took the Turkish tea, which was amazing.

Friendly staff and delicious food!

amazing portions and quality! super quick service

While looking for halal food in Amsterdam, I came across Sefa Grill Barbecue on Google Maps and decided to give it a try. Seeing that it was a Turkish restaurant made me even more excited as a Turkish person — and it definitely met my expectations! The atmosphere feels just like home, with Turkish music playing in the background and the warm hospitality that Turkish culture is known for. The portions are generous for the price, the food is delicious and fresh, and the place is clean and well-maintained. I’d definitely come back again. If you’re in Amsterdam and craving a halal Turkish meal, this is the place to go!

Very delicious food, little variety in the country

Please play doesn't even need another review, five stars all the way. Great fast service, excellent food! Best Mediterranean.

The service was quick and efficient and the chicken sandwich looked and tasted awesome and the price was reasonable for that area, I also decided to have some baklava and it was one of the best baklavas I have ever tasted.

Delicious food ,excellent service.

Nice little place across from Westerkerk. Food is great. Service excellent and staff friendly.

Delicious food and very good service.

Preis passt, Essen lecker 😋, sauber und freundlich. Wir werden es wieder besuchen. Mann kann es gut zufus erreichen..

We have tried this type of food in Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Spain, France and without a doubt you are the best. It was truly delicious, we went back twice and even ordered takeout and eat at our next destination. Although they didn't know how to speak much Spanish, they helped us and were always attentive, the sauces available on the tables are all delicious, the prices are considered taking into account that you are in Amsterdam, don't lose quality and keep it up. Greetings from Costa Rica!

A pleasant day in Amsterdam, we ended up in this restaurant at the end of the afternoon. Delicious food and friendly staff.

The best kebab I have ever tasted. 100% recommended

Best chicken wrap and kebabs in Amsterdam unbeatable prices

The best Restaurant in Amsterdam!!!

A nice big kofta dish and Hummus 👍🏻

The best food and service ive ever experienced

The environment is very good. Prices are quite reasonable compared to other places. The employee named Hüseyin was very helpful. I thank him. Among the meals, I ordered lentil soup, shoarma scholet + Lamskotelet and shepherd salad. I ordered Turkish tea to drink. Lentil soup is very well made, thank you. The main course and salad are also filling and quite delicious.

Very delicious food and they serve you with a smile. All good

Aksam yemeği için mekan arayışındaydık olumlu yorumlardan dolayı tercih ettik gercektente güzeldi yemekleri teşekkür ediyoruz

Amazing food with very big portions. Recommended

Echt lekker, de beste turkse pizza die ik al heb gegeten. WOW🤩, ik sta er echt versteld van!! En hier is ook zeer lekkere turkse thee!

A nice Turkish restaurant, it was nice to have a hot soup after walking on the cold Amsterdam streets

Hasn't changed in several years, delicious

Freshly baked bread and delicious ingredients make for a five-star meal at Sefa. My daughter had the falafel, which was crispy and flavorful. Delicious sauce assortment to add at the tables. I Had the chicken sandwich. All vegetables were fresh and crispy. Chicken was flavorful. But the warm, crispy on the outside, soft and perfect on the inside pocket bread was the star. Good quality fries. Reasonable prices for good portions. Quick and friendly service. Highly recommend.

Avant la visite de la maison d'Anne Frank nous avons mangé ici. Les kebab sont gros par rapport à la France mais pas ouf non plus. Si vous êtes dans le quartier je recommande. Pas trop cher à 4

Delicious Halal Turkish food. Very nice seating area and very good service.

Good food, horrible service. Person working at front was very disrespectful to us twice and making smart remarks.
