Maydanoz — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Went here for the first time last night and it was amazing. They were very sensitive to our gluten free need and ensured our food was handled correctly. The host was gracious and very congenial. After expressing how I loved the sauce on a vegetarian dish and asked if it could be done with a chicken dish, he said he would figure it out next time. The calamari appetizer with walnuts was different than what I was expecting, but was very good. The earthiness of the dish was amazing. The lamb chop main was also nicely spiced and cooked as well as I could have hoped. My only wish was for another side other than the fried potatoes for gluten free, even just a little bit of roasted veg? The salad that came with it was nice. My partner had the Maydanoz Sebze and he was raving about it. That is the dish that had the amazing sauce, should have asked for more GF bread to soak up the leftovers. The veg was beautifully cooked with the right amount of char and smoke to it. Too full for dessert but it was a great way to end his visit in Amsterdam. Thank...

I recently dined at Maydanoz Turks Restaurant in Amsterdam, hoping for an authentic Mediterranean dining experience, but sadly, it fell short of expectations. The food was average at best, lacking the vibrant flavors and quality I anticipated for the price point. The dishes seemed quite ordinary, and while they were not terrible, they didn’t stand out or feel worth the premium.

For the prices charged, I expected much more in terms of taste and presentation. The portions were modest, but the flavors were underwhelming, leaving me feeling disappointed, especially considering how expensive it was. I have experienced better Mediterranean cuisine at a fraction of the cost elsewhere.

While the atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant and the staff polite, the food itself just didn’t justify the high prices. If you’re looking for great Mediterranean food in Amsterdam, I’d suggest exploring other options. Maydanoz Turks Restaurant didn’t live up to its reputation, and unfortunately, I won’t...

This was an absolutely wonderful dining experience. The restaurant successfully pulls off both the small and large plate formats excellently.

On the part of the food, everything tasted amazing! The flavors were very well married in the lamb and cheese dishes. Highly recommend the sigara boregi and the beyti. The domatesli mantar dolmasi was excellent as well.

The service was impeccable. Though there were only 3 visible staff in the entire establishment, every table was attended to regularly. The food came out of the kitchen at a quick pace. Everything arrived at the proper temperature and was so savory.

Stop in here any time you're...
