I can't describe how beautiful is this place!! It has an amazing vibe specially when it's nice weather, I just LOVED IT. We came for afternoon tea, as I have seen the coverage on a food blogger's instagram account where he has wrote about this place and also mentioned that the price of the afternoon tea is AED 176 for two person and post the bill too on his story but was unfortunate that it was not true coz we were two and were charged AED 330, it's ok since we enjoyed!!

The food and ambiance was amazing. Had a pleasant experience overall, the only suggestion I’d tell is that, the management should reconsider their “no takeaway policy” as it promotes food waste. Be careful of your order as you may not be able to take the rest of your food home as we did!

عباره عن مطعم يقدم طابع الاكل المغربي 🇲🇦 و حاليا في فتره الشتا و الاجواء الجميله عندهم اختيار شاي الظهيره ( Afternoon tea ) . المطعم غير مسقف يعني مفتوح للهواء الخارجي فيفضل اختيار الوقت المناسب للحصول على افضل تجربه .
.
الاسم : Afternoon tea
.
.
السعر : 165 درهم ( يكفي لشخصين ) .. التقييم : 8.5/10

مطعم نينيف .. سبب التسميه تعود الى مدينة نينيف القديمة وهي من مدن حضارة بلاد ما بين النهرين والتي ارتبطت مع اعجوبة حدائق بابل المعلقه ، ومن هنا اتى تصميم هذا المطعم كما لو كان معلقاً .
.
تصميم المطعم على شكل مجلس حضري عصري بين حديقه مع لمسات تراثيه وثقافيه اسلاميه رائعه .
.
الاكل لذيذ والخدمه ملكيه ، الاسعار متوسطة الى مرتفعه مقابل ما يقدم ، الجو العام خرافي ، مناسب للعائلات ، تتوفر خدمة صف السيارات .
.
.
The restaurant of Nineveh .. The reason for the designation dates back to the ancient city of Nineveh, one of the cities of Mesopotamia civilization, which was associated with the marvel of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, hence the design of this restaurant as if it were suspended.
.
The design of the restaurant in the form of a modern urban council between a garden with touches of heritage and cultural Islamic wonderful.
.
Delicious dining and serviced property, prices are medium to high in comparison to what is offered, the atmosphere is fabulous, family friendly, valet parking is available.

Ninive is the perfect place to have a Middle Eastern dinner, the decor is very beautiful, it makes you feel you are dining inside a modern bedouin tent in the middle of the financial district of Dubai.
The menu is very interesting, since is not focusing only on one specific cuisine but a mix of traditional dishes from the region.
All the dishes we ordered where delicious and perfectly cooked.
I definitely recommend to visit!

We were a group of friends who popped in here for some bites, and drinks. We had an amazing time, the music was fantastic and quite varied. The food was really good and the sheesha was good. The interior was well ventilated, even though they had a tent to beat the heat. I’m sure this place is going to be even better once the tent comes off when the weather is better.

Will definitely be back here again and will recommend this place to friends.

Ninive is not the usual Middle Eastern Restaurant. It's decor incorporates the aesthetics of a Bedouin tent, surrounded by a beautiful wooden structure and vegetation from where you can enjoy an amazing view on DIFC skyscrapers.
The dishes are Iranian, Iraqi, Egyptian, Turkish, Saudi or a mix of these which make Ninive's cuisine unique. From the moment you enter you will feel very welcomed by the staff and the Arabic modern beats will set the mood on.
Definitely to add on my list of favorites restaurants in Dubai!

Ninive is a beautiful Middle Eastern restaurant at the feet of Emirates towers with a breathtaking view of DIFC. If you want to “WOW” your guest with excellent food and service, Ninive is definitely a must see spot for those who are visiting Dubai!

Despite being a city that is home to over 16,000 eateries, Dubai has been seriously lacking great dining options in a category that might surprise you – modern Arabic. Morah’s wonderful levant cuisine certainly raised the bar, but its stint was sadly short lived at the top of the JW Marriott Marquis towers (now replaced by the lively Hotel Cartagena). Zahira also attempted a shot at the crown of Dubai’s best Arabic restaurant but it too closed its doors before its first anniversary, with food too rustic to really impress Dubai’s spoilt and fickle diners.

I have visited this restaurant for Suhoor at the beginning of Ramadan so I did not have the chance to try their a la carte menu. The location is stunning, very small and extremely cosy with such a strong Arab influence is the interior. The sitting areas are extremely comfortable, it’s one of those places where you can sit and relax forever, smoking shisha and sipping mint tea while nibbling in some very delicious Arabic dishes. I really recommend this venue, even in summer where the outdoor area is covered by a beautiful white tent.

A very nice place with comfortable seatings and spectacular view of the Sheikh Zayed sky scrapper and emirates towers. It is an open area so it is good from Sept to April as it will be challenging to sit outside in summer. I highly recommend Zalouk as starter - never taste a better starter with Eggplant-, chickpeas salad is good and Tajin is tasty. They serve good Shisha as well. Recommended place to chill out after sunset till midnight.

headed up to this new restaurant in Emirates towers which has some authentic morrocan flavours to offer. the ambiance was very nice and relaxing; with good Arabian fusion music in the background with nice romantic lighting. Coming to the food we opted for the Chicken Tagine and the sea bass for the mains both were beautifully cooked and were boasting of authentic Moroccan flavours; if i had to pick a winner the fish be my pick. For the appetizers we opted for the chickpea salad and roasted eggplant dip which were good too in taste however there was no wow effect as such.. overall a great experience would definitely go back and would recommend this restaurant to all..

Been bragging my hubby for a long time to visit Ninive after I saw their photos while browsing through Zomato, and finally got our chance when he got a little bit free from workloads.

Walking thru the stairs, I already can feel that this night will be awesome!  Greeted by some lovely staff at the reception, you will be ushered to your table and luckily for that night it was a quiet one.  We went here without a reservation because we felt it's not needed at that time - it was a Sunday night so obviously less crowd.  I'm really in love with a majlis setup, whether while camping or in restaurants and hotel, and Ninive took a huge step and modernized it.  Yes, it is located just close to the busiest road but you won't feel nor hear any noise that will distract you.  I felt that I was transported to another place and we felt so relax, especially our server, Haytham, who is amazing and so patient and kind, is always there smiling at us.  He told us that there is a live singer and a dj during weekends, and we'll definitely be back soon to experience that.  They have a free valet parking, but you need to show a receipt from the restaurant.

What a beautiful venue. Came with my good friends that had been wanting to visit for some time, definitely worth it. The ambience is beautiful, at one point we felt like we had travelled to Marrakech. The music was perfect for the setting starting with Arabic vibes and then moved to deep house as it got later. The food is fantastic, definetly need to try the eggplant dip to start, prawn skewers and the beef roll. We had the chicken tajine as a main. I highly recommend this place for any occasion.

Spoiler Alert: I think Ninive Dubai is going to be everything Zahira couldn’t. I know, I know, that’s a little harsh but I’ve always been one to say it as I see it. I’m not the biggest fan of Arab/Middle Eastern food, but when I heard that Ninive is led by the same head chef as La Cantine Du Faubourg, Gilles Bosquet, I knew I had to try it out. So, I accepted the tasting invite and headed over for dinner with M.

There are many after-dark restaurants and cafes in Dubai – but there is only one that will take your breath away as you enter and then fill you with joy of life as you pass a divine evening in a world of its own: Ninive!. Believe me, the joie de vivre at Ninive is tangible. You can taste it on your tongue, and feel it on your skin… a mesmerizing locale, hypnotic and enchanting.

It is like an urban majlis at the feet of the Emirates Towers, its decor incorporates the aesthetics of the Bedouin tent. You would ask me but what is the meaning of the word Ninive?. Let’s go back a bit to history 🙂. Ninive from its original word Nineveh from the Syriac Language‎ was an ancient Assyrian city of Upper Mesopotamia, located on the outskirts of Mosul in modern-day northern Iraq. It is located on the eastern bank of the Tigris River, and was the capital of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. Nowadays it is a common name for the half of Mosul which lies on the eastern bank of the Tigris.

Surrounded by ever-busy Sheikh Zayed highway, glittering downtown lights and the hussle of the financial district, Ninive of Dubai is a brilliant idea. It caters to the growing need of every cosmopolitan city for a little paradise of greenery, privacy and peace. A place that looks good, feels good and contributes to goodness. That’s what Ninive is for me.

Decorated in the best traditions of One Thousand and One Nights, where gold is everybody’s favourite colour, Ninive communicates Arabian luxury and guest’s comfort as the priority. The interior elements, accented with warm light lanterns, fluffy cushions, low foamy divans and a feeling of privacy, make you immediately forget all your worries. The focus on complete divine relaxation is partly achieved by impressive service, and partly by wafts of shisha travelling with the breeze from table to table.

The menu is created with a deep understanding of present desire for an unforgettable experience, exclusive food magic at the table and pomegranate seeds. The later was elegantly sprinkled on several mouth-watering appis, which didn’t last long. I especially enjoyed the absence of ceviche, a dish that the majority of Dubai restaurants tend to force into their cuisine recently.

There is no strict definition of Ninive’s cuisine type. It’s noticeably influenced by the Middle East, Persia, South Asia and nearby states, however things aren’t easy. I appreciated the trend of moving away from serving a boring spread of stereotypical dishes towards crafting the new Haute Arabic food couture to impress and startle.   

Chef Ibrahim

I spotted chef Ibrahim right at the entrance. Confidently powerful in the kitchen, he projects charm, charisma and a love of food. I couldn’t stop staring at his act through the glass wall of the kitchen located right behind the bar. Easily mesmerized by super skilled professionals, I couldn’t keep my eyes or iPhone off him. Intrigued by my non-stop flash, chef Ibrahim laughed and visited my table for a quick chat. He was as entertaining in conversation as in the kitchen.

Chef of the bar Marc

Marc is another personality not to miss at Ninive. Many guests stop by the bar just for an opportunity to observe this awesome guy and share a bunch of jokes. Enigmatic, always on the go, anxious in a fun way and incredibly skilled, Marc is a character that could be plucked from Cirque du Soleil. I knew there was something cheeky in his past watching the way Marc tossed a napkin next to me. That’s for me to know and for you to discover.

Haytham

Haitham was introduced to my table half way through the dinner and for the first few appearances I kept on referring to him as Olivier. He never corrected me, smiling rather charmingly. He captivates attention with a soft approach to service, sharp attentiveness and enthusiasm. Haitham concurred my heart by performing a master class of Moroccan tea pouring, sharing a few secrets with me.

Given how much I enjoyed my earlier visits, I organized a dinner for 35 of my friends to Ninive, with a carefully selected mix of dishes that formed the 3-course set menu. The night was a resounding success, with everyone thoroughly enjoying the food, shisha, the music and the atmosphere. Perhaps the only issue was that there may have been the portioning of a couple of dishes (not everyone had the kebab, while there was leftover couscous) but other than this one point, it was an excellent night. 

If you want to plan for an evening out where you can take advantage of the cooler weather, you will not find a better spot than Ninive.

Brand new restaurant and lounge alert in Dubai- Ninive, this new dining sensation offers Arabic cuisine under the stars. And last week, we had the pleasure of visiting them for dinner. From the owners of La Cantine du Faubourg comes this beautiful new venue at Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel. Ninive is an al fresco only dining destination that offers diverse Middle Eastern cuisine, drinks and Shisha.
