We were in Amsterdam the second weekend of May.
We discovered this place by chance, but it's definitely worth it!
The burgers are delicious and carefully prepared by chef Mina Adele.
The staff is friendly and fast.
The prices are very fair compared to the Amsterdam average.
Poor service, more than an hour late, which meant breakfast was served and the letter that should have been included was missing, which indicated what it was for. Poor service.
The bartender really goes above and beyond, inside and outside expectations. He definitely steps up his game for those five stars!
Bit strange to have to carry his bike in upon arrival, and do his laundy. But what else can be expected in exchange for this service.
Worthless, dirty, sticky, disgusting. Doesn't even deserve one star. If you don't live like an animal, you absolutely should NOT come here. I threw up, and there was a room full of dead vermin.
Sandwiches are delicious, but around lunchtime they're always out of bread—the line is never very long, but it seems to take forever here. You'd think you could anticipate that, being a sandwich shop. Staff also calmly clean the windows with people waiting in line during rush hour. Oh well.
Expensive, the portion size is nowhere near sufficient for the price, the meat is really questionable, the restaurant is dirty and poorly maintained...
In short, this restaurant is a joke, avoid it at all costs.
Awful service, stood on their phones and chatting when we needed assistance.
Food was not good at all and had to pay for basic condiments. No one asked us how the food was and if we needed anything. Horrendous experience as a couple visiting Amsterdam for the first time.
Do not recommend.
Would give less than 1 star if it was possible.
Should have checked reviews before ordering.
Ordered a pepperoni pizza- was told delivery was scheduled for 22:25 and my boyfriend went to wait at our hotel’s reception. Pizza was marked as delivered but never came!!
Tried to phone and it wouldn’t go through so called through receptions phone to be told that the delivery driver has phoned multiple times and wasn’t able to deliver the pizza so has taken it back to the shop!!
We have no incoming calls on our call logs and there have been no attempts to message through uber eats chat from the driver..
my boyfriend was also told on the phone that the pizza couldn’t be re-delivered as apparently all their drivers are under the age of 18 and can’t drive past 11pm.
If that is true WHY hire all underage drivers when you’re open until 00:00????
Absolute POOR service and very hard to get a refund!
I regularly buy unsliced Spelt bread at Jongejans bakery on Gelderlandplein, along with all sorts of other products. You have to be there early, because the bread lady likes to throw all the incoming loaves through the slicing machine as quickly as possible. You can't wait to get rid of them for the day...
Convenience is key, the employee. I once asked if loaves could be left unsliced, but according to the women, there's only one solution: "You can reserve them by phone."... It's like buying a collector's item at PC Hooft instead of a simple loaf.
Nothing bad about the bread, by the way, but for €7.80, you'd expect a bit of customer service.
I went into the shop early this morning and, right next to the entrance, in an open display, picked out a loaf of bread. The always grumpy bread-for-slicing lady was already full steam ahead, chopping up the loaves. Just in time...
While selecting, I touched another loaf and then placed the loaf itself in a paper bag directly across from the "joy personification," with the well-meaning remark: "Good morning, ma'am, you're so busy that I'll put it in the bag myself, can you please continue?"
That didn't elicit a pleasant or friendly response. She suggested I wait a moment and she would put the loaves in a bag. Besides, "it was unhygienic that I had touched another loaf."
That she herself, with the same Bolte hands without gloves, had just placed the loaves on the rack right next to an open door escaped her notice. A surly, unfriendly response, with an equally sourdough expression. Her colleague stood there and watched.
Then I walked to the cash register to pay for the golden loaf. Where I had to wait 5 minutes, I suspect, as some kind of punishment.
Is it worth being treated like this as a, until recently, regular customer? Well, no, today, Thursday, December 18th, is the last straw. It's time to shift the recurring purchases to 'Le Fournil' a kilometer away, but artisanal, half the price for a truly fresh loaf, with incredibly friendly staff who are about 10 times as busy and leave everything unsliced until the customer asks for a sliced loaf.
That's how it should be: a bakery isn't a production facility where everything has to be rushed through yet still charges top dollar.
I tried chicken curry today, because I hadn't liked the nasi chicken satay before.
The first time, the food wasn't warm at all. After a short time, I got it back, and while it was warm, it had absolutely no flavor, and before I could finish it, it had cooled down again. The dry salad had no dressing at all.
No more hot meals here, that much is clear to me.
I have never seen such discrimination ... I went in and I talked turkish to the bartender and then when she knew I am Syrian she stopped immediately talking with me and served me the worst Kumpir -after more than 30 mins of waiting while i was 1st and the only in the row- I have ever eaten.... it has no cheese the chicken and the saus were not fresh.
I regret every penny i spend their. I DO NOT RECOMMEND it for what so ever.
They brought me the wrong pizza... When I told it to the waiter he just laughed in front of me, he did not excuse himself, he did not give me the possibility to have an other pizza and at the end they still had the courage to ask for a tip...
