This place is next level! The service is exceptional and the food I can’t say enough about. I want to eat here every day while I’m still in the Netherlands! The lemon garlic chicken is to die for an d the muhammara masa is AMAZING!

Everything we had was delicious. Almost everything is vegan and in any case all vegetarian dishes can be veganized. Service is a bit slow but I think it’s a good sign, as everything seemed pretty much homemade. Would definitely recommend it!

Had a great first experience with Syrian food, would visit again. Recommend the 9 starters course to share with friends.
We also had the Tabakh Roho, Bamia and Foul Moudamas

Clean autentic place, the food was fresh and estetic. The price for 2 is below 30 euros. Staff was friendly and explained what they served to us, as we are not familiar with the tradition food

We had Maza Sham Special, and Halawet Jebneh as a dessert.
It was nice food, the waiter took long time to come and write down our orders every time, also when bringing the bill, only two staff were in the whole restaurant and often no staff showing up in there 😅
Eventually the payment was only via cash, therefore I had to walk to the supermarket to get cash.
