Kabab House

STOP!!! Avoid this place at all costs. We went in and asked for 3 wraps to go they encouraged us to sit down. It was late we said why not? When we left they charged us 28 euros. When I said the menu said it was 6.50 each they said if that’s to go. The food was not even that good and they told me the meat was turkey not lamb. I wish I checked the reviews first but we just stumbled upon the place while walking around.

Avoid this place at all cost. It was pouring rain outside and we went in and ordered food. We sat down waiting for the order and we told to get up and get the food. When we got the food the employees told us «Good Night» in a very mean tone. Several times they said that. Then another employee said we had to go and take our food outside in the pouring rain. The place was not crowded and we did not see any reason for them to push us out the door. Also note there are no prices posted on the menu. So it appears they change their prices depending upon the customer.
We past by this place several times and it appears they only cater to certain folks. They also seem to have a very angry look on their face. Seems to be a anti-​american attitude at this particular place. I wish I had read the Unilocal reviews before going here.
I notice other kabob places are more crowded. Perhaps its their bad attitude chasing away customers.
Dont expect much here.

To be entirely honest, I wasn’t really impressed with the kebabs in Amsterdam when compared to countries like Germany and the United Kingdom, but Kabab House had a product that was better than other’s I had.
Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere?
When you’re out late at 0300 on a Sunday morning in the Dam, there aren’t as many options open as you might think, but when I spotted a line of five or so people outside of Kabab House I opted to give it a go. Service was extremely fast and as friendly as I could have hoped for at the time, so no complaints here. Star Granted.
Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?
€ 6,50 was a euro more than I paid out in the suburbs earlier in the day for a kebab of poorer quality, but my kebab here at kabab house was quite a bit bigger than that kebab as well. While I could have hoped for a tad bit more in the form of lettuce, etc., this was filling, so I can’t complain about the value. Star Granted.
Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?
Better than my earlier kebab, but that honestly isn’t saying much. I died a little bit on the inside when I saw my server dish up the meat from a heater tray as opposed to shaving it off of the spit, but I’m finding that’s more and more common these days. The meat quality was suitable but nothing to write home about, and it was the very small portions of lettuce and virtually tasteless sauces that had me longing for a bit more. I will say that my wrap was quite good, and flavored the whole thing up a bit. Additionally, it’s admirable that this wasn’t the greasy mess that seems to be commonplace elsewhere. All in all, acceptable, but a bit too close for comfort to giving no stars here. Single Star Granted.
Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could?
If I’m up at 0300 on a Sunday every morning? Maybe, but I’m not, so no. No Star Granted.

Avoid this dump at any cost.
Looked good on the outside and we were hungry. We ordered a lamb kabob and he said he was out. I pointed at the menu and showed him a plate of kabobs with rice. I asked him if it was beef, since they were out of lamb. He said no no — it’s lamb. It sounded very suspicious, but he assured me it was lamb. I ordered baba ganoush. He said he was out. I ordered fried eggplant — he said he was out. I asked for coke with ice and he said you don’t need ice — it’s cold. We finally gave up on trying to order appetizers. And decided to split s plate of the «whatever» kebabs. 15 minutes later he brings us two whole entrees. His English was pretty good, so language barrier is not very likely, but possible. We told him apologetically that we really only wanted and ordered one. He grabbed the plate off our table and slammed it on the back counter by the kitchen while mumbling loudly in his language. We started eating. The kebabs were so dry and not possible to eat. My friend had a cold, so she got up to clear her nose around corner from our table. The guy started yelling at her that she couldn’t go there. We were also overcharged by a Euro and noticed the cook/​owner was starting to get into it with another customer. I was over it. Our experienced was totally ruined. I left the money in front of him for the meal and told him that his service and food were unacceptable. He said he didn’t care. We left.

Tourist trap!
This place looked okay enough and I was hungry so went for a Turkish pizza. I was not paying attention when the guy was making it (because I was checking in on Unilocal!) so I got it and then walked out. As I was eating it I noticed that there was no meat in it but I ordered it with chicken. I walked back and they apologized and made me another one. I thanked them and left. As I was eating this one I noticed that it was not chicken but lamb. Again, not what I ordered. I did not go back this time. I figured… w/​e…
On top of that they charged me € 6,50 when the menu said € 5,50 with meat. I assumed that maybe chicken was more (sometimes it is at other places). Too bad I still did not have chicken.
One good thing I will say is that the first Turkish pizza that I had without the meat was pretty good. I did not like the meat at all in the second one and ended up eating only half of it.
I don’t like to give only 1 star, but with all of these bad things combined I feel like I have to.
