Restaurant Turquoise Meating — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Was staying around the neighbourhood and was starving. It was probably 9ish and google maps said they were open till 11 or something, anyways when we got there it looked like they were closing up and i asked if they were still serving food. The busser had to ask another lady and she said yes! That meant so much to us since we got there that day and were exhausted. Not only were they hospitable but SUPER friendly since they didn’t really speak english and we don’t speak dutch. It felt like they gave us a great big hug metaphorically speaking. She also said not to rush the meal and gave us turkish tea after the meal. She was like my mom away from home❤️ This is the BEST service i’ve had in an eternity. Support local and don’t be afraid to venture out of your comfort zone, you never know what you’re going to find. I send best wishes to this place and if i’m in the neighbourhood again, 100% coming here. We got some sort of platter you can’t really tell cuz a pita is drooped over all the grilled meat, it was dang delicious there was not a morsel left. Try...

The quality drop from last year is immense. I had some ok food here before, and it was my third time coming here. I won’t be back.

Sac kavurma was inedible, spaghetti bolognese barely edible, and cigkofte was supermarket-bought at best. The quality of the food is not acceptable for any restaurant, let alone one that charges regular-high prices (higher than several other Turkish restaurants to be honest).

The kavurma was soaked in fat, the rice floating in it, the meat smelt bad and tasted like it was cooked twice. Taste of bolognese was better, but also dripping fat and very heavy. I am attaching pictures here because it was unbelievable. Neither of us could finish our meals. The sad part is nobody asked about how we found our food - even when we were paying the bill, so we paid and left.

One star is for the friendly service and the presentation of the food on the plates.

My advice is not to go there if you don’t want to get sick and to spend your...

One of the better dining options in this part of Amsterdam. The restaurant is quite large and very comfortable (soft cushion seating along the walls). The food was very tasty. The portion sizes are generous. The staff were very pleasant. English menus and all speak English well. One star withheld because location is remote from the rest of the city. If you're visiting, it's a great option if you're staying at the NH hotel 1/2 mile away. But if you can't find Turkish food near your hotel, definitely make the trip. Expect to pay...
