This used to be one of my go to place but today everything was disappointing. Chicken tasted not fresh fried rice was so hard I can’t believe they charged 4 euro extra. Lemongrass tea also tasted too sour. What a pity will not be coming back
Used to be such a nice place with delicious margaritas. Some bald guy (I believe he was the owner or manager) kicked us out just because we asked for a table for 4. Being condescending about our knowledge of the covid regulations. Even the waitress was like "what are you doing". No wonder it's was the only empty place on the Nieuwmarkt yesterday. Drank a nice margarita at the Cuba instead with excellent service.
Most inadequate service I’ve ever experienced! We had a reservation for three people and initially only 2 chairs were available. Not only that but we had to wait for 15min for the second chair to be given to us. The waiter couldn’t get our order correct not even once - first I received the wrong wine, then my friend never received hers. We kept reminding him and asking for service, and eventually gave up and went to the bar ourselves. Next round, same story. When we tried to get the bill, we asked more than three times and waited for over half an hour, until eventually, again, we went to pay at the bar.
We were there 1 hour and 10 minutes before closing time. She refused to serve us and got very angry, even threatening to call people when we did not want to leave and just get our food. Very bad service.
The hawawshi was sour and didn’t taste good like it does in Egypt, it even made us feel sick afterwards. The food is also not fresh, everything is frozen or pre-made.. the vibes of the restaurant and service were nice though
Since host Vagarsh Mogatseljan took over this brasserie, the quality has improved dramatically. Chef Berend and his team ensure superb quality with fresh ingredients at truly fair prices, especially compared to other Amsterdam restaurants.
The wine list is well-organized: no nonsense here, just expert selections. Highly recommended, without a doubt!
