Sama Sebo, opened in 1969, is a cozy restaurant that takes you on a culinary journey through Java with authentic dishes such as gado-gado and extensive rijsttafels, prepared by experienced Javanese chefs. We recommend the Sama Sebo Special (a platter), where various Sama Sebo dishes are served together on one plate, with a choice of white rice, fried rice, or noodles. The friendly service by staff dressed in batik and the warm atmosphere have earned Sama Sebo the nickname “the living room of Amsterdam.” Here, you can enjoy a perfect blend of tradition and flavor in a welcoming environment where you’ll feel right at home.
Lunch is available from 12:00 to 16:00, and dinner from 17:00 to 22:00.
