Ordered the chicken hummus and this hummus is the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life. It was so so so creamy, rolls of the tongue so easily. The portion was adequate, and the hummus came with 2 pita breads. Wish i could buy some hummus back home! The food was absolutely stunningly delicious.

I never had Pita bread like this good! This is a lovely little restaurant near museum plein. There is a cute and comfortable atmosphere is dining room. If you want to dine here make sure you have a reservation. It’s very busy even weeks in advance. This is probably because…. The food is amazing! The fresh pita breads are the best forms of bread I’ve ever had. I asked for a short rib humus plate which they made happily. The meat was very tender and tasty. Also the chicken was very juicy and rich in flavour. The little schnitzels were a bit dry but had amazing sauce to pare. Service was excellent. We were seated immediately upon our arrival and were always treated with respect and courtesy. I definitely recommend dining here to experience this lovely food.

Nice and cozy place. Better to book a table in advance, it was quite busy at lunchtime. The falafel pita was delicious and well-filled. The hummus was good but not enough salt.

It’s a powerful way to understand Amsterdam in food anthropology by coming Esh Pitabar. I’ve really enjoyed having my meal here as my experience at Esh has been delightful as well as beautiful. I am an East Asian living in the UK and love to eat Middle east cuisine daily many years. So good

Nice restaurant with a variety of Lebanese dishes. The food is of good quality and really tasty. For people from the Middle East, it might feel a bit pricey since this type of food is usually much cheaper back home. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are friendly. Overall, it’s definitely worth a try!

I come from Madrid just to try the hummus and the pita as I saw it in Instagram and it looks amazing. But it wasn't just that, not only that the hummus and the pita Is amaizing, the girls that work here are super nice and really attentive. I will definitely come back tomorrow

I had dinner here and was genuinely and pleasantly surprised. From the owner to the wait staff, everyone was exceptionally friendly, approachable, and full of positive energy. The food was delicious, high-quality, and served quickly, without compromising freshness or flavor. The atmosphere is cozy, beautifully designed, and truly inviting, which made the whole experience even more special. I highly recommend this place!

Idk how this place is real in Amsterdam… the prices are insane, the portions unbelievable and the taste is amazing. Not to mention the service was good despite it being so crowded. Honestly the short rib pita is to die for, got it every time I was here. Esh Hummus is also a must. The ugni blanc(Trebbiano for our Italian friends) is unmatched in price/taste in Ams.
