The Creta Aalsmeer, by far, has the best Greek food in all of Amsterdam, it was so good, I spent 3 weeks in Amsterdam, and ate there seven times with my son, yes 7 times. If you are in a hotel near Schiphol, working in Hoofdorpp, or driving from Amsterdam, the Greek food at Creta Aalsmeer is so good, fresh, tasty, I have never had better, and this from a New Yorker, I have been to Astoria (Greek Neighborhood) many times, Creta Aalsmeer is the best. The Owner, is an incredible host, he will take the time to listen and make the food to your liking, his meats are seasoned and cooked with loving care, the vegetables are fresh, the sauces are special, and most important, the Mythos Beer is cold, and fits well, whether you order a Pita or a Platter. Again, I highly recommend the Creta Aalsmeer, the best Greek Food in Amsterdam, and a top restaurant to eat in the city and surroundings. I salute the Owner and his Team, great food, super service, and look forward to eating here again on my next trip to Amsterdam, cheers! Mike and Jacob...

All for just 15€ including two bottles of water. I would definitely go back to this restaurant if I go to...

Service was odd. Despite me being the only person inside at the time, it took them 3-4 minutes to even acknowledge my presence. No issues aside from that. They do understand English to an extent and were able to make suggestions.
I probably would not recommend to travellers though. Meals are heavy on protein and can upset...
