“ Where to begin, as you step into this restaurant you are immediately transported into a warm and cozy home. Reminiscent of the times spent in the kitchen as a kid and smelling the enticing food being cooked right in front of you. The menu keeps evolving, yet the people remain the same which makes it feel like home. Salute to Yousef and Nadir for their time and effort because they built a home away from home for many Algerians, so once again thank you! ”

“ Best food I've had in Amsterdam. Hands down. It's a small little place, limited seating, but the guys who run it are so good at what they do, they might as well be artists. The food presentation is amazing, the taste is out of this world and I'm even just hooked in their music. The food is garnished so well, with amazing stuff. Pickled pepper and stuffed tomatoes. You cannot go wrong ordering from this place. And definitely don't forget the baklava ”
