Crystal

This place was a great find! We almost passed it up thinking it was just pizza and are so glad we decided to stop. Their schwarma was delicious. They make their own sauces and their hot sauce is fantastic! Good price for how much food you get and the staff are very nice too!

A very pleasant lunch with my two boys. Had shashlik and shawarma with chips. Everything was freshly prepared and the staff were friendly and speedy. It was quiet when we went for lunch but gradually got busier. The décor is nice and it was clean and well maintained. I would recommend it.

Woohoo Amsterdam … so I tried one of there local Mediterranean katori pizzas. Awesome pizza great ribs and french fries … 3 stars cause they charge for water … Restroom stinks like sweaty hairy armpit … The employees look like they hate working … They only accept cash … They charge for water … Those suckers … Anyway … enjoy

Crystal is a great little spot to get some local and meditteranean snacks. The place itself is really nice and so is the staff. It seems like everything is done with finesse. I ordered a simple Shoarma Pita but what really made it special was the condiments it comes with. They give you a giant serving of 3 really tasty homemade toppings that really allows you to be creative.
You should really stop in and try it out.

Oh Crystal. This place literally made me dream about becoming a travel food writer with a niche in falafel. I’m not kidding. I wanted everyone to share the joy I felt when eating a supple pita stuffed with everyone’s favorite fried balls and (emphasis) mounds of the many delicacies found in their salad bar at 4am.
There are many places to go in Amsterdam for falafel, including Maoz– right. next. door. But do yourself a favor and come here. And don’t you dare skimp on the salad bar offerings or the sauces.

Small pita (broodje) shoarma € 5, large € 6.5 (large is for man)
+ point:
Lamb meat, tastes good, on salad bar theres coriander sauce and onion thingy (I dunno what its called), but they are very good, the place is clean and lots of seat
— point:
some of the staff are not friendly (maybe its not that they are not friendly but their english is not good enough), free salad bar ads on the window is misleading, its only free for falafel (and only to be put inside the bread), if you other anything else it would be € 2.5 for 1 small plate.

Don’t let the «steakhouse and pizza» sign out front fool you — the cuisine is basically all Middle Eastern. This place is just two doors away from the better-​known Maoz falafel shop. Now, the Maoz falafel is indeed a great sandwich, but I hate eating standing up and they have such scarce and uncomfortable seating. Crystal has very good seating, good falafel, and even lower prices. Another thing I like about Crystal is that they give you a plate and fork along with your sandwich, so you can load up the plate with the side salad to go into your sandwich rather than having to stuff everything in there at once. So, you can start with a top layer of shredded lettuce, onion chutney, hot sauce, and so forth, then add another layer after consuming the top.
For EU 4.50, one of these falafel sandwiches plus sides is way plenty for lunch.
