Sefa Restaurant BBQ & Grill-Room in Grachtengordel-West

Unfortunately, it was unfriendly.

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

Very disappointed with the staff’s attitude. You can clearly feel a difference in how customers are treated — with some behavior that feels openly racist. This kind of attitude has no place in a place that welcomes the public

Best shawarma in Amsterdam. We went back the next day and throughout our entire stay. A must-try if you come to Amsterdam!!

The best food I've had in Amsterdam and good prices thank you malaka

Sefa Grill is a great spot — delicious food, perfectly seasoned, and amazing value for the price. Everything was fresh, fast, and clean. Definitely my go-to place in Amsterdam for a tasty, satisfying meal.

Very tasy chicken thighs sandwich

If you are missing a great Turkish style chicken donor ! This is the place ! Staff are friendly and service was quick

One of the few places where you can eat halal in Amsterdam is Normal Döner

Amazing food , very suggested!!

Amazing halal food. Reminded me of home

So far my first place to go for shoarma in AMS

We were disappointed with this restaurant. The grilled meats were dry and the portions were rather modest. No mezze was served before the main courses, and the owner's welcome was less than warm. Furthermore, the prices are higher than those of other similar establishments.

Best chicken doner in Amsterdam!

Me and my husband ate here in July 2025. I ordered the chicken kebab with rice and he had it with chips. After eating this, I developed extreme food poisoning with very severe stomach cramps which kept me up all night. I was extremely unwell for a week after this. I would never eat here again.

Good And tasty food. Unusually inexpensive for a city centre Doner

The food was delicious and the portion sizes were reasonable. Prices were low by Amsterdam standards.

Fast service with good portions. The doniar box was good. We also got the turkish pizza Donair and a mixed plate with rice.

Once again we had a delicious meal and the service was excellent!!!!

Huge portions, amazing taste and welcoming staff highly recommend if you want to eat something quickly but don't know exactly what. 🙂

The food is good and reasonably priced.

The food had no taste at all and some of the meet was raw

Hearty, large portions of food.

Delicious Turkish cuisine, and the staff are helpful and welcoming, and I appreciate their kind treatment. I ordered shawarma and ribs, along with baklava and tea. The portion was large and filling.

Had dinner with a group of six. Fast, friendly service. Delicious food at a good price and a nice place to sit.

I was here on 27.09.2027 Bad Service Bad qualty Bad foood

Baklava and tea were excellent, I recommend it.

Very good food, we had the mixed meal for two people for €48. It serves two people very well, even three who don't eat much.

Not worth the trip Subpar food, and I believe that the meat is frozen not fresh.

Just had a chicken schwarma wrap (which ended up coming as a sandwich oops). Bread was incredibly fresh and hot, meat really tasty and lots of veg. Noms!

Above average. Delicious and excellent...and the rice was delicious too. We tried the chicken breasts with rice and the shish tawook sandwich, which was very delicious.

The space felt a bit cramped to me, but not uncomfortable. The atmosphere is excellent, though I did notice a slightly unclean, greasy table (just a personal observation, I might be nit-picky). The food was excellent and truly delicious. The staff was friendly, and I recommend visiting if you're hungry 😊

Bülent abi best man, works like 3 men at the same time.

The food was horrible, tast like reheated/freezed food not a fresh one, The service was good, but unfortunately this time the experience was disappointing

The portions were very large, filling, and delicious. There were many different sauces (7 different types). Compared to other places, it was a more affordable and halal Turkish restaurant.

Masha Allah, very delicious food and reasonable price. One of the best

My wife tried meatballs, I tried meat doner (shawarma), my wife's choice was really delicious but their doner was average in my opinion.

We went on the first day of vacation. Let's say the first day was the most precious day...

5/5 , it could be 6/5 but they don t have beer

Really good food and very good prices for Amsterdam...but no beer..you know why

The food was really tasty. I had an Adana kebab plate and my sister ate a chicken dürüm with fries. We had many sauces for option on the table. Overall, food was very delicious, I‘d just take away 1 point for the service, it was fine but the waiter wasn’t very motivated… always on his phone in between and when I asked if there was any kind of Joghurt sauce he just said no (which I do not believe since they offer Döner kebab which includes… a garlic Joghurt sauce…) nevertheless, it was a tasty experience, especially if you are looking for traditional Turkish flair and taste. and big plus for it being halal too!

The wrap was great, the meat was well seasoned and they were super quick. Good price for the product!

Perfect! Very pretty, very good, and very fast! We were served in less than 5 minutes. The fresh produce was delicious, and there was a wide selection of free sauces available. And the white sauce on the table was a real favorite! I'll be back during my stays in Amsterdam. This is already the third time I've eaten there, and the prices are reasonable.

The grilled lamb and chicken were incredibly fragrant. The aroma of grilled meat was palatable right from the start. The salad was sweet and sour with a hint of spice (including chili peppers). It was just the right amount of flavor to cut through the greasiness. The meat was incredibly firm. Three dishes would probably be enough for four Asians.

The staff was very attentive, attentive to customers' needs, and meticulous about hygiene. The food was delicious, and the meat was very fragrant. As an Asian, I found the food very appetizing. 😋

Delicious food! Great service! Friendly people - highly recommended!

Very good kebab 13/14€ kebab fries drinks

Delicious Turkish pizza and kapsalon. Generous portions and super tasty! Fast service.

Be careful, they sell alcohol. It's not on the menu, but they do sell alcohol despite the halal label. I was present when customers were served alcohol.

I came here twice. Nice price and full of taste. The place is a bit packed, but the taste is booming. I highly recommend `lamb shaorma broodje`. Not really fancy interior, so it might not be good for dating, but nice place to come with friends and family.

The food was spectacular. The Broodje Sandwich was delicious and filling. And the Turkish pizza was delicious. The Broodje comes with a side of fries and a drink. We bought an extra drink and it was only €24.30. 100% recommended.

Very tasty dishes and good doner meat. The service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy, and everything is clean. Thank you.

Unhygienic and the food is a disaster. We felt very sick after eating it. Don't go there!

The food is really delicious and the air conditioning is good, but it is a bit noisy because the tables are close together.

I was there a few weeks ago; good food and nice people. The price is right, especially considering the quantity and quality. I definitely recommend it for good, affordable food in Amsterdam!

Very good cuisine, I recommend the Kapsalon which is very good

Flavor is more than just taste. Well done people!!! Definitely 5*****

The meat was overcooked and I had a hard time eating it.

Clean, satisfying, delicious soup is just as good as meat dishes.

Food was delicious Portions were reasonable for the prices. Good adana and kabab €19 and €20 Served with rice salad and bread ( you can substitute rice with fries) *food is halal as they have a sign stating that * the must important they actually have ginger ale that I was craving in this trip and asked for it in multiple restaurant ( did not have). *they have indoor and outdoor seatings. Enjoy!

I had Shoarma Schotel and Adana. I couldn't taste the Shoarma because of the cinnamon flavor; the meat was dry and burnt. The Adana was similarly dry. The fries and salad were just okay. Value for money is very low. It doesn't suit the typical Turkish palate. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment.

Great food with reasonable price. Do= 9 people we paid 160euro

It’s the best halal food restaurant in amsterdam

🌮 Food → The food was delicious and came in decent portions. They served it very quickly. However, I didn’t like that they didn’t provide any sauces or side dishes, and the presentation wasn’t very appealing. 👥️ Staff → They were fine, but you might be wondering why only four stars — it's because the staff rushed us a bit while we were deciding on the menu. 💡Location → The seating was acceptable. I just wasn’t pleased with the low lighting. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Honestly, it was a very solid kebab; even in Germany, it would have been a decent choice. The price, especially compared to other places in Austria, is 10/10. I highly recommend it!

Amazing Döner Kebab, you have to try the sauces standing on the table, they are 10/10. loved the experience there!!!

Delicious food and quick service

We were deceived by its high score and went there, but frankly we did not find the taste and pleasure we expected.

We have tried the grilled chicken platter. It was delicious, the chicken was juicy and tender.

We visited this restaurant as a group of six and were warmly welcomed upon arrival. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting – a pleasant blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. On the recommendation of our attentive and genuinely friendly server, we opted for a mixed platter to sample a variety of the house specialties. The meal began with a selection of finger foods – nicely presented, freshly prepared, and offering a flavorful variety. This was followed by a crisp and refreshing starter salad, dressed lightly and made with fresh ingredients. The main course was the highlight of the evening: a generously portioned platter featuring Adana kebab, lamb chops, and marinated chicken – all perfectly grilled and seasoned. It was served on a bed of fragrant rice that complemented the rich flavors of the meats beautifully. The quality of the meat was excellent – tender, juicy, and full of taste. The portion size was more than sufficient; everyone in our group left the table feeling satisfied, but not overwhelmed. For dessert, we were served baklava – and it was truly outstanding. Not overly sweet or drenched in syrup, it struck just the right balance of crisp pastry, flavorful filling, and light sweetness. A freshly brewed tea was served alongside, providing the perfect finishing touch. The value for money was absolutely fair, especially considering the quality and quantity of the food. The service was consistently friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and you could tell the staff took pride in what they do. Final Verdict: A delightful culinary experience with authentic dishes where both taste and hospitality are top priorities. We will definitely be coming back – this restaurant is a true hidden gem for anyone who appreciates high-quality Middle Eastern cuisine.

Located 600 meters from Dam Square, it's a hygienic place. The most satisfying and delicious kebabs you'll find in Amsterdam are here. Caring shopkeepers.

Very nice mix grill ! Delicius and succulent

Very good service and very tasty stuff on the menu! Probably best baklava in the city

Good döner, reasonable prices, fresh tea

Delicious and cleannn top service

We ordered shawarma and lentil soup. The shawarma was nothing like shawarma, it was just minced meat. As for the lentil soup, it was delicious. The restaurant staff are respectful and the atmosphere is good.

This is just a mid kebab, portions are ok

Amazing tasty food, they have special sauce that is just amazingly made. Good location and great taste. It's definitely worth it.

Delicious kofta with special turkish tea

Best doner every eating in europe. Very fast and clean service happy staff. Very good price. Very closte to dam square easy transport. Definitely coming back

Hidden cost Very small portions He will try and get more out of you with no receipts

The food is amazing, the grills are delicious, and the staff are so kind. Highly recommend it.

It's a very good place in terms of price and performance. I recommend it.

The Shawarma and hummus were excellent! Air conditioned, nice and cool and clean.

Estaba caminando por ahí buscando kebab y una mina de oro apareció en el restaurante de mi sofá. El personal es muy amable. Comida súper deliciosa Recomiendo a todos venir

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.

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!

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

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

Plats délicieux hier soir, lieu très propre, service rapide, personnel très sympa. Nous recommandons vivement ! Bonne quantité

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.

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.

Chef is the best .number one 👍👍💯💯💯💥💥💥

“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
