Always a good atmosphere and good food. Make sure to make reservations, as this place is always busy. The decor is mediterranean inspired and sets the mood. All serving plates are a great touch to the dishes. Great for groups and a good place for casual diners. Irfan's Starter This is my all time favourite. I usually go to the Amsterdam venue, and it never fails. All dips are very flavourful, the Sigara Böregi could have been fried a bit longer, but still tasted good. We got just 3 pieces of bread to dip. But you can always ask for more. El Couscous Fish It was the first time I have ordered this dish. The, Kebab, Tuna and Prawns were over cooked and very very dry. Thus not so tasty. Yet the Couscous was good. I am not sure if it is always like this, but for now I would not recommend it. Cheesecake with Nuts and Dates Oh My Gosh! This is the reason I go to the Bazar! Literally my favourite desert (next to Italian Tiramisu). This amazing cake is no where else to be found. It is just a piece of heaven. For the record, I am NOT a cheesecake lover at all. However, the flavour of this Cheesecake is very mild and just melts away. Combination of Nuts and Dates is just perfect! I totally forgot to make a picture, that's how distracted I was =D. Definitely a must have!! Overal Service The service is oke, it did not feel personal. But, I understand when it's busy. Staff was friendly though!

Vibrant and colourful restaurant with just the busy vibe you’d expect. The staff was service-minded and our waiter was very helpful and charming. Unfortunately we had to wait very long to eat. We had table booked for 7pm and the food wasn’t served until about 8.45 pm. The portions were generous and looked colourful and fresh, but unfortunately the taste was very bland. A lack of seasoning and not much of a grilled taste for the kebab/skewers. Chicken and tuna rather dry, so was the bread. The hummus tasted mostly of tahin. We were full, but not impressed. Good value for money though, considering large portions. The major issue to us however was actually the poor acoustics. All the otherwise nice chatter between people and noise from kitchen and staff seemed to hit the walls being thrown in all directions, with no absorbtion at all. One could only really talk to the person next to you. A few of us in the group eventually felt physically unwell due to this issue and actually found it quite hard to eat and focus on the food. Presumeably not an ideal place for someone with hearing devices or tinnitus. Acoustic panels or other improvement would be highly recommended. All together Bazar was therefore a disappointment to us after having read all the good reviews.

i've never had quite an experience like this. the restaurantl/hotel is beautifully decorated with many mirrored surfaces and stylish decorations. the restaurant has two stories, both available to be seated on. the staff is friendly and fast. they did get a small point of our order wrong though. But with a packed restaurant like that, that has to be expected. in the restaurant the noise level was pretty high and generally we had to speak rather loudly to clearly understand eachother, but that too is to be expected by service this many guests. the food is incredibly tasty. i never got to enjoy a sis kebab this tasty. the meat and the other side dishes were incredibly delicous. as a starter i got to enjoy the falafels which also were amazing. my girlfriend got the sarmas, which she really really enjoyed and they were of great quality. her main dish was a börek-like dish, which too was very tasty. i would've wished for more dessert options though. the ben and jerry's ice cream is a simple addition but in my opinion cheapens the rest of the menu overall a very great restaurant, full of nice design, flavour and friendliness

Ever since I moved here this restaurant was always suggested to me and I always saw it super busy in during my adventures at Witte De Straat. I went with friends who ate here before so we put in a reservation for a Wednesday around 6 pm. This place is massive tho, from the start you can see it has 3 levels: underground, ground and upstairs. The decorations are really festive as well. We ordered the Fish Couscous (grilled kebab with tuna and prawns, roasted vegetables, shiraz mix and saffron sauce) and the Meat Bizar Bazar (grilled kebab with veal, chicken and vegetables with a stew of mushrooms, almonds and chickpeas and kofta of minced beef and lamb). The Bizar Bazar also came with rice, fried potatoes, yogurt sauce with moesir and taboleh salad. We also got falafels on the side I tried both and equally they were really good. So much food but the moesir was nice the seafood was great and I really really enjoyed the saffron sauce. Nice place with good theme.

I've eaten a few times at Bazar, and each times I end up saying 'yeah, but it has a nice atmosphere'. I've thought about it and I never came to Bazar because of the food. So, let me start with the positive points: The atmosphere is amazing. The vibe is a mix between Arabic/Turkish/Middle East that compliments the menu that Bazar has, and the oriental lamps really bring everything togehter. The service is good, it's fast and the staff is friendly. The location is great as well, as there is a parking garage near the restaurant. The portions are OK. But, for me, the most important bit of eating out is the food itself. And I have to be honest, the food was disappointing. It really tasted 'Dutchified', meaning that it was lacking taste - I was missing the spices and the herbs, it was a bit bland. Overall, you'll have a good time here, it's "gezellig" (assuming you've got good company).

Was this the best food ive ever eaten? Nopes. But for the price the flavour taste service and ambience you get makes this place get all 5 stars from me. I came here for an early dinner and ordered a vegetarian main, a glass of fresh watermelon juice and a Turkish yoghurt based dessert. The service was friendly and swift and the ambience was nice outdoors. The watermelon juice was fresh and amazingly refreshing and tasty. The main course was plentiful, cooked to perfection and had the right balance of crunchy and other textures. It tasted really nice and the saffron sauce was sublime. The dessert was creamy, the honey added the right amount of sweetness and the walnuts were fresh, crunchy and tasty. For this lovely experience I paid less than a main at many restaurants, 27 euros. Superb experience and I'll definitely be coming back for more.
