Florya Restaurant & Cafe — Restaurant in Amsterdam

I had a wonderful experience at Florya Restaurant & Cafe and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food, warm hospitality, and a cozy environment. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and felt instantly welcomed. The staff were extremely kind, attentive, and professional, making sure that everything was perfect throughout the visit.

The food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was prepared with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. You can tell that a lot of care and effort goes into their cooking. I ordered a few different items from the menu, and each one exceeded my expectations. The portions were generous, the presentation was beautiful, and everything tasted homemade and authentic. Whether you’re into traditional Turkish cuisine or just looking for something comforting and tasty, you will not be disappointed.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is another highlight. It’s a calm, clean, and nicely decorated place that makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. The ambiance is perfect for both casual dining and more special occasions. I especially appreciated the peaceful vibe—no loud music or distractions, just a cozy setting where you can enjoy your meal in peace.

As for the service, it was top-notch. The staff were not only friendly but also very knowledgeable about the menu and quick to assist with any requests. They checked on us just the right amount of times, without being too much. Their hospitality added so much to the overall experience.

In short, Florya Restaurant & Cafe is a gem. Great food, excellent service, and a lovely environment. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a quality meal with equally great service...

There are meals that flirt with you, bat their eyelashes, maybe buy you a drink. And then there are meals that grab you by the collar, whisper something filthy in your ear, and leave you questioning every moral, dietary, and romantic decision you’ve ever made. Florya, a floating joint on the water in Amsterdam, is absolutely the latter.

The meat didn’t just “fall apart.” No, it swan-dove into oblivion, breaking up gracefully in my mouth like it had been rehearsing its death scene for years. The sauce? Some family secret probably handed down in a dimly lit kitchen with everyone swearing loyalty oaths, maybe a knife on the table, no one making eye contact.

The restaurant itself sways just enough to make you wonder: am I drunk? In love? Or just delirious from eating something so good my brain’s short-circuiting? It feels like eating on cloud nine — if cloud nine came with enough plates to feed a small army. There was so much food we actually had to take breaks. Real breaks. Picture me in the corner like a washed-up boxer: towel over the head, water bottle in hand, while the next course comes at me like Tyson in his prime.

The service? Doesn’t matter. They spoke some English, but the real language was food — and they’re goddamn poets. Each bite a masterclass in comfort, hospitality, and the kind of generosity that makes borders feel imaginary.

Traveling with my buddies, bouncing from city to city, you start to realize culture isn’t just in museums or postcards. It’s in the plates that land in front of you, in the way strangers insist you eat more, drink more, laugh more. Florya was all of that. The kind of meal that doesn’t just fill you up, but wrecks you beautifully, the way only great food in a...

The food here is amazing, I always have lamb when I come and I’ve never been disappointed. Regardless, I can only give 3 stars because of the following things that can be irritating:

music is always either way too loud (there are often birthdays/parties and they play 5-10 minutes of super loud music for the whole restaurant) or so quiet that it’s weird wait staff is not organized and forgets tables. You may have to remind them to take your order, especially if you are not in the main area of the restaurant dishes not served simultaneously, even if you’re only two = one person eats alone or eats a cold dish fries from the freezer. A restaurant of this size should be able to cut their own potatoes, especially when it’s a side to every dish on the menu bills cannot be split + payment at the till dirty stains on some chairs it’s cold in the side rooms

TLDR: This place is great for a casual dinner, but not a fancy one despite the price. Quality and quantity of the food is really good, service not so much. They also serve the classic complimentary tea to finish the meal which is really nice. Turkish brunch on the weekends also fantastic but again, unorganized. Some small tweaks to be made and this would be 5* ! Despite the chaos, the entire staff is super friendly and you can tell that they are trying their best.

Good to note: no alcohol served here and parts of it turn into a shisha...
