Novels Zaandam

The interior is modern, and the music playlist adds to the atmosphere. They have a special offer on Mondays — all sushi rolls are €10. We ordered several rolls, and they were truly delicious. The drinks were good as well. One small downside was the service. The waiting time for our food was a bit longer than expected (around 40 minutes).

Other than the fact that they have in-house pets for cuddles and entertainment, the food is affordable for its portion and quality. We ordered the Club Sandwich, Truffle Shuffle, Salmon Ebi Torch and Crispy Chicken Sandwich alongside Nachos Pulled Chicken. The staff were extremely nice, introducing us to their in-house furry friends and checking in in us.

Merdan is, without a doubt, the best waiter at Novels. He is extremely professional, kind, attentive, and dedicated – a true example of excellence in the art of hospitality. From now on, whenever we return here, we will make a reservation and specifically request to have him as our waiter. We would like to mention that in the past, we had less pleasant experiences with another waiter and one of the managers, whose behavior was arrogant and tactless. We are a group of 8 people, and we all agree that these colleagues could learn a lot from Merdan – both in terms of attitude and professionalism. Everything here is outstanding – the location, the menu, and the atmosphere – but it’s the relationship with the staff that truly makes the difference. We strongly encourage you to value and support waiters like Merdan, who genuinely elevate the standard of your establishment.
