Best Israeli restaurants in Amsterdam
Hummus, pitas, baba ganoush and falafel: we love Israeli cuisine. Preferably in combination with a trip to Tel Aviv, of course. But we can also bring Tel Aviv to the Netherlands, yalla! In Amsterdam you have plenty of Israeli restaurants that are worth visiting. These are the best Israeli restaurants in Amsterdam.
If you are more looking for the Indonesian cuisine, the places where they have the best ramen, Indian restaurants or the best Japanese restaurants? We got you.
NENI is actually much more than you typical restaurant on the corner. You can go there for anything and everything: the restaurant, a deli with its own bakery, The Garden Room private dining and a bar. NENI originated from the warm family feeling of the Molcho family and the passion for sharing food with others. And you see that everywhere. Dinner and lunch are at their best here. You can choose à la carte or a chef's menu.
Returning to The Garden Room; NENI is also the ideal location for events. For business or private purposes, the former Citroën car garage is the place to be. Private dinners? Reserve a spot in the garden room.
What to order? Go for the Balagan menu (Balagan or a delicious chaos in Ivriet) and taste a selection of mezze such as our favorite, the popcorn falafel. Didn't get enough after a night out? Order Neni easily at home or buy the cookbook and immerse yourself in Israeli cuisine. One last tip: Be sure to try the homemade pita breads and other sweets from Neni's bakery and thank us later!
Create a Eastern Mediterranean place in the Jordaan: hello restaurant Mesiba Amsterdam! This Israeli restaurant is a real party (it's not without reason that the translation of Mesiba in Hebrew is party, aha).
A warm atmosphere, great print clashes, a pinch of romantic and a whole lotta 'eclectic' with cozy table lamps, murals and olive trees. Very tasteful, diverse and well thought out. Don't expect too typical dishes like hummus or schnitzelim (breaded chicken cutlets, just about the national dish from Israel), but creative (and fresh!) dishes from Elad Ohana. Everything to share, such as cod shawarma or a spicy Israeli Beef Tartare.
Chef Yoav Siev grew up with Israeli food SHULA he wants Amsterdam residents to taste these dishes. At the Israeli-Mediterranean delicatessen you will find the freshest ingredients and the most interesting spice mixtures that are just “the basis” of this cuisine. Be sure to order the fresh hummus, our favorite, here.
At SHULA you can eat (there are a few tables), but you can also order products and pick them up.
Mana Mana West and Mana Mana de Pijp, two options. Two options for delicious Israeli food. Think of dishes such as Shakshuka with natural pita, lamb and Knafeh (a dessert with string dough, filled with cheese and topped with sweet syrup.) What's not to like?
And Fridays? Those are for one Friday hummus date, if it's on Mana Mana lies.
And ooooh the markets of Tel Aviv (think of the Carmel market), they are so nice. They also know Bar Fisk in the Pipe. There they take a culinary flight to the finest food markets in Tel Aviv.
Visbar Fisk brings the hospitality of Tel Aviv to Amsterdam, but near the Albert Cuyp. The concept? Of course all-round shared dining. The freshly baked bread and dips are delicious, but of course there is also what the restaurant is known for, fresh fish. Also go for brunch on Sunday.
Telavivian street food, but in Amsterdam. Ideal for when you can't afford to visit Tel Aviv. Then we say shalom shalom, Ben Cohen!
Shawarma bar Ben Cohen has been a household name in Amsterdam since 1978 late night snacker. Not just any shawarma restaurant, but an Israeli one (and the first). Is Ben Cohen the proud inventor of the combination of garlic sauce with shawarma? At that time you didn't see garlic sauce anywhere else.
His sons now run the business, who have transformed the shawarma palace into an attractive street food restaurant, where you can enjoy the flavors of Tel Aviv. You will still find shawarma, filled pitas and hummus variations, but also innovative twists such as the whole cauliflower from the grill that you can often find in Israel.
A hummus heaven, that's what you imagine yourself in at Sir Hummus. Be sure to come here for lunch and don't forget to bring a jar of amba (sauce based on mango and turmeric) or stock up on the best jars of tehina if you want to make hummus at home Booking of queen.
If you prefer to wipe your plate clean here (this is an Israeli proverb, they wipe their plate of hummus clean with a pita), then do so with love at Sir Hummus. Served just like in the streets of Jerusalem: hot and fresh. But beware, hummus from the supermarket tastes less good after you've been here. You never want anything else.
It is a small restaurant with a limited menu, but this restaurant proves once again that big is not always better. It's fun and not too much fuss. Be sure to try the falafel and a limonana drink, thank us later.
Of course we also want to know how they make that delicious Israeli food, voilà there it is Esther's Cookery. A cooking school where you can learn exactly how to make the tastiest dishes from the deli. At the vegetarian cooking studio in Amsterdam you cook with the well-known themes: Ottolenghi, NOSH: Esther's vegetable kitchen and plant-based.
Esther also sells cookbooks and products. So definitely nice if you are looking for a gift.
We don't really need more hummus. Yet they have it D&A hummus Bistro also other options, and those are just extra points. D&A can be found at three locations: in the Jordaan, East, and South.
Recommendations include the grilled cauliflower hummus, stuffed eggplant and the shakshuka.
Of course, this place is also recommended for vegetarians (because there are lots of vegetables).
Favorite! Sabich sandwich at Abu Salie Noordermarkt. (chef tout is the secret to this one cost)! Israeli food in the easiest way, straight from your hand. You don't have to sit in a restaurant for hours for this (with a bit of bad luck you may only have to wait in line for a while).
So if you have nothing to do on Saturday, you should definitely go to Abu Salie on the Noordermarkt. What is a sabich sandwich? Well, a pita filled with fried eggplant, a hard-boiled egg, tahini sauce, hummus, chickpeas and some fresh herbs.
Where should you go for the tastiest sandwiches? If that's what you were looking for, we have the answer here: Mezzave Food Boutique in de Pijp Amsterdam. That story starts with two partners who opened several stores in Israel. With success… Their dream? Bringing all their 'abundant goodness' to the Netherlands. That became reality with the first deli in the Amsterdam district of De Pijp (we don't think the location is bad either, we love The Pipe). Bee Mezzave Food Boutique Amsterdam all the culinary delights of the world come together in one place.
Specialization is the production and smoking of meat and sausages according to traditional methods. All our artisanal meats are made from 100% fresh, unprocessed meat! You notice that and you taste it. Be sure to go with a big appetite, because the sandwiches are not made for a small eater.
The location of GLASS: nice and central, all good. Just a few doors away from Marie Heinekenplein.
Bardak is one Telavivian street food restaurant with (not to mention) delicious cocktails. You will find a lot of charcoal-grilled meat on the menu, but also a lot of vegetarian dishes.
They say that you have come to the right place for a 'bardak'; an organized chaos.
