SIZZ restaurant — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Very meh. I don't like it when you order Coca Cola Zero, and you get Pepsi Max or some other inferior swill (like Caleb you get now, or even that Aldi knock-off). The fact that the staff doesn't seem to even know that there's a noticeable difference, let alone one to mention to the customer before pouring, is just unprofessional, and not a great way to start off.

The place was okay. Nothing special, just okay. We were taken to the back, where we sat in acceptable seating, with a canal view and an airco, which is both good (though the airco was loud).

We ordered food. Some curry, some other stuff. The garlic bread was great, but my madras lamb curry (2 out of 3 peppers) was a bland and uninspired curry that tasted like it came from a can. The lamb meat in it was good though.

Speaking about unnecessary negatives... Why so many restaurants don't take the time to pull things through Word for a spell check will forever be beyond me. It's not that hard. Like the thing with the coke - this is so easy to get right, such an unnecessary oversight.

The desserts were great though. Looked good, tasted even better, the effort that went into those was appreciated.

Prices were ok, though in my opinion a little bit high considering the blandness of the food, but well, inflation and high prices hit restaurants too, so I'm not going to complain too much about prices.

So yeah... Meh. I wil...

Sizz Restaurant, Amsterdam – Style Over Substance, Hospitality Nowhere in Sight Visited at 20:55 after traveling from Isolatorweg (M50)

After making the full journey from Isolatorweg, the very end of the M50 metro line, I arrived at Sizz Restaurant at 20:55, genuinely looking forward to winding down with a proper meal. What I got instead? A cold shoulder and an unwelcome surprise — I was flat-out refused dine-in service and told I could only order takeaway.

No explanation, no apology, no “sorry, we’re closing early” — just a flat rejection. And mind you, this wasn’t some tiny food stand shutting down for the night. This was a restaurant still visibly open, with staff moving about and a few diners still finishing up. I wasn’t late. I was just apparently not welcome.

For a place that promotes itself as modern, vibrant, and full of “sizzle,” there was none of that in their attitude or hospitality. After a long metro ride across the city, being dismissed at the door without consideration felt both rude and unprofessional.

It doesn’t matter how decent your food is (though I wouldn’t know — I didn’t stick around for a boxed-up apology). If you can’t treat customers with basic respect, then you’ve already failed.

Sizz might look good on the outside, but if you’re coming from far, don’t count on being treated like a...

I have no idea about what happened recently with this place, but I will never eat from here anymore after being a loyal customer for long. I have mostly ordered delivery from here, great portions and great price usually, but there has been quite some confusion recently. I was passing by and I decided to go to the restaurant directly instead of ordering, to support the restaurant more and not go through ordering platforms, and of course even saving fees. I get presented the bill from my usual order which is around 25% higher than the ordering platform final total I always pay. I have simply asked how come is the bill higher if I go and support them directly? They were all clueless about it, no one seemed to know anything and that the owner (not there) was the only one who could answer, so I have just asked to cancel the order and that I would just bike home and order from uber eats at home for paying 25% less. The guy stopped me saying to not worry and that he will give me a 2x1 promotion on the butter chicken, and although i would pay one he would give me 2 portions. I agree, sounds fair. I get the food, I reach home, what they clearly did was splitting one small portion in 2 boxes, and on top of that it was a the wrong dish.

One wants to support the place and this is what they get in return? Bad experience for a...
