Night Kitchen

Levantine sharing plates in Oud-West with the kitchen open until 23.00, or €58 for a menu the team builds around your table's tastes.

Night Kitchen started in Tel Aviv's Neve Tzedek in 2012 and opened in Berlin in 2017. In Jan Pieter Heijestraat it began in 2020 as a takeaway pita bar during the pandemic and became a restaurant at the end of July 2021. The menu is sharing plates from €7.50 to €28, such as steak tartare with pine nuts and baharat, or cured corvina with tabouleh and medjool dates. Amsterdam Local Gems calls the cooking "Levantine and Eastern Mediterranean, which is a narrower thing than the 'Mediterranean' label most listings give it." Dinner with Friends costs €58 a head: the team asks about tastes and diets, then sends out a family-style menu for the table, desserts included. Paolo Española of The Infatuation wrote in 2023 that you should come for it with a big group. Guests recommend the format and praise warm, attentive service. They also report that the kitchen handles combined allergies and diets well. The kitchen cooks until 23.00 every day.

Groups of seven or more get Dinner with Friends only; mention allergies and diets in advance, though cross-contamination cannot be ruled out for severe allergies. There is no children's menu and there are no high chairs.
