"This "spacious" bi-level African–Middle Eastern combines "stunning" "kitsch" decor like hanging lanterns and colorful tapestries with "reasonably priced" "flavorful" fare." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A terrific Eastern-style restaurant within a former church located halfway up the bustling Albert Cuyp street market."
Time Out "This former church, now an Arabic-kitsch café, is one of the glories of Albert Cuypmarkt. Sticking to the winning formula set by its Rotterdam mothership, its menu lingers in North Africa." Full review
Rough Guide "This cavernous converted church is usually buzzing with activity long after the market traders have packed up."
Fodor's "A golden-angel-capped church provides the singular setting for this kitsch-addled restaurant." Full review
Not For Tourists "Yummie foods from afar in an old church."
Let's Go "The inexpensive and tasty Middle Eastern food here varies as much as the decor, from falafel to creative dinner specials like saffron veggie kebab." Full review

"Excellent Japanese restaurant featuring authentic Kaiseki cuisine in a Sukiya decor. Sushi bar. Meticulous and friendly service." Full review
Time Out "If you want class, head out here and surrender to the charming kimono-clad staff, the too-neat-to-eat presentation and the restful views over a fishpond." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Don't even think of placing an à la carte order with your kimono-dressed waitress, as the kitchen clearly considers printed menus a disposable, Western invention." Full review
Travel + Leisure "At Yamazato, expect a delicious meal: classic, Michelin-starred kaiseki cuisine, served in a traditional Japanese setting by kimono-wearing waitresses." Full review
