Ramsis is a late-night grillroom and takeaway restaurant at Schoolstraat 30, 2511 AX Den Haag, in the historic city centre of The Hague, a short walk from the Grote Markt and the Haagse Passage. It is known for Egyptian-accented Middle Eastern grill food, including shoarma, grill specialities, Turkish pizzas and kapsalon. It is open every day from 11am to 5am, so travelers, students and night owls use it for an affordable meal long after most kitchens in the centre have closed.
What to Expect at Ramsis
Ramsis is a classic Dutch grillroom built for speed. It has a counter, a compact seating area and a steady flow of takeaway and delivery orders. The menu covers shoarma rolls and plates, spareribs, chicken dishes, mixed grill platters and kapsalon, the Dutch favourite of fries topped with shoarma, cheese and salad. Cold starters include an Egyptian salad, tuna salad and chicken salad at €7.50 each. Tomato, chicken and lentil soups cost €4.50.
Dutch snack-bar staples fill out the menu. Options include beef croquettes at €2.50, bitterballen at €3.50 for six, frikandel, kaassoufflé and crispy hot wings. A shoarma roll costs about €12. There are vegetarian dishes, a children’s menu, soft drinks and wine and beer. Halal options such as the halal Mexicano snack appear on the menu. Orders can be placed for pickup (about 30 minutes) or delivery through the official Ramsis website.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Reservations are not needed. The busiest windows are weekday lunch and from about midnight to 3am on Friday and Saturday, when Grote Markt bars empty out. Ordering online for pickup cuts the wait. Trams stopping at Grote Markt and Spui are a few minutes away on foot, and Den Haag Centraal is roughly a 15-minute walk. Check the HTM website for current lines. Drivers can use the Grote Markt underground garage. Schoolstraat is a narrow pedestrianised lane. The entrance is at street level, but seating is tight, so wheelchair users may find takeaway easier.
Ramsis pairs well with an evening around the Grote Markt terraces, two minutes away. The Grote Kerk and the old Oude Stadhuis are on nearby Kerkplein. Chinatown on Wagenstraat and the Binnenhof, home of Dutch parliament, are both within about a 10-minute walk.
