What would you eat first in Amsterdam π³π±?
I have been to Amsterdam 5 or 6 times, I think. And I have a tradition: the first thing I eat is shawarma... π
Typical, right? π
This is not something I exactly chose. But I have a friend from Amsterdam π³π± whose family is from Morocco π²π¦ and, every time I arrive in Amsterdam, he either cooks shawarma for me or takes me out to have shawarma... π
I love shawarma anyway so that's fine for me. π
This time, he took us to Birtat restaurant, a πΉπ· Turkish restaurant that he apparently knows very well and, most of all, that is open quite late, which was key that night cause our train π from Paris π«π· was delayed... a lot! π€¬
We ordered a mix platter that had shawarma, koftes, fries, rice, salad and bread, plus some tapas. Everything was good and there was too much food so we couldn't finish.
We paid β¬50 for 3 (including soft drinks and no desserts), which would be expensive for this kind of food in Barcelona πͺπΈ, but maybe not much so in Amsterdam π³π±...
We were served in a timely manner and I can't really complain about the service, but we were lucky we were with a local cause English π¬π§ isn't useful there (that's probably the only place in the whole country where nothing is written in English nor anybody talks to you in English... π
).
The place is not cozy at all and that's probably the worst part of this venue. You can't expect anything fancy, but you can have a good meal, late at night (for the Netherlands!), and that's what mattered that night. π€
