SALLORA Amsterdam Restaurant — Restaurant in Amsterdam

We absolutely loved the food! I would love to see more variety though! The Levant cuisine is very rich. HOWEVER, the service was bad! Nothing personal here but I care and I would like to share my honest opinion. A waiter/waitress should know what goes in the food, they should be aware of at least the main ingredients of the served items. Another point should be the communication, a smile, a story, a joke, a special moment, a host/waiter with positive attitude, all that is crucial for the success of any restaurant! Train people on better communications, on how to handle a complaint effectively, on how to solve an issue without making the customer feel bad for asking for something legit to be fixed! Train them on how to manage their stress on the floor when orders might get overwhelming! The things that happened to us during the service: We were welcomed by "do you have a reservation?" Nothing else was said! Hosts were very pushy to take our order as long as we sat. Bread took a long time after the starters were served, so we were basically just waiting and looking at the dishes! - better to sync the timing. A host didn't know if the juice is usually freshly squeezed - the pomegranate juice was really bad and didn't taste fresh and very diluted (for a 9 euro glass of juice, anyone would expect something proper, right?). I was given some "B face" for asking to pack things to take away.

A good ambience and good food would feel less vibrant and lively if the people working there couldn't contribute to the setting with their own proactive energy. I hope you take my feedback positively - and I want you to know that I'm not a Karen! just a hospitality expert.

I'll visit again as I'm exploring that part of Amsterdam nowadays and I hope I'm going to rank up the...

First time in Amsterdam , this place was recommended by a friend and the place was great the minute we stepped in , staff greeted us with a friendly smile and gave us the menu in English

Nice vibes , soft music in the background so we still enjoyed talking to friends and eating

The place was immaculately clean the decors was super elegant with style

We had mint with lemon drink and it was freshly made and refreshing

The manager Shady was so lovely chatting with us and had good knowledge about the food so he recommending dishes

We ordered different dishes and all were super tasty , original kebab came with rice , laham ajieen, arayis , chicken cubes . The rice was oily but still fluffy and nice . Size of Kebsb was smaller than usual . Chicken cubes were dry for me but very generous as they put 2 generous skewers

the Arayis was nice but for the fist time I order it and it came with cheese and the staff said because Holland is famous with cheese

We had Turkish tea and some had mint tea which is only boiled water & mint with no tea super nice

It was quiet pricy compared to other Halal restaurants but its fine if you are looking for a nice elegant place

We paid at the till so we were able to split the bill between us & pay separately

Nice walk near the restaurant with few shops and cafes but no...
