Restaurant ShakShuk Zuidas — Restaurant in Amsterdam

This place is AMAZING! Decided to leave the nearby hotel and explore on my first night and so glad I did. The reviews were right. Have you tried a shakshuka before? It's a North African and Middle Eastern meal of poached eggs in a simmering tomato sauce. Totally new to me, which doesn't happen often, and seems really healthy too, which is a bonus. I had the spicy merguez with a warm roll and then the heavenly halloumi side.

It's a young bar vibe but all ages are here, while the music is soft classic pop. There's a really nice ambience provided by the chatter of fellow diners, and the staff are really welcoming.

The food came quickly, with a smile, and was presented and prepared beautifully.

An all round hit, congratulations...

I ordered here through UberEats. Unfortunately it was very disappointing. I would NOT recommend the Falafel Special. It was incredibly underwhelming especially at a whopping 11Euro. The ingredients were listed as: hummus, falafel, aubergine, salad and tahini. It did not specify on UberEats that it is indeed a Wrap (which I would not have ordered, I would have rather ordered the falafel pita). When it arrived I was unpleasantly surprised by how small it was and there was almost NO hummus or tahini in it (which are my favourite ingredients). Personally I will not be ordering again. My partner ordered the Broodje - Stoofvlees which he was ok with. Also it took almost one hour to arrive even though we live...

Edit: We gave another try and everything was great. The food tasted great, service was flawless (very hard to find in Amsterdam), atmosphere was super nice. We concluded that our previous experience was just one time bad luck. We will continue keeping ShakShuk in our favorite restaurants.

It started all good. We were happy that we in the end found a place to order both for our family diners and company lunches.

Unfortunately, it didn’t last long. The last meal we got from them was not really as we were used to. We paid €16 for hummus with literally 4-5 small meat pieces, which was half fat. The fries had excessive salt. We hope it was just bad time and not a change in...
