    This beach club is lovely, had a fantastic day at the beach and pool today with great oriental music and food. The beach and the water was so nice and clean. Service was excellent. The guy serving us was very kind, delicious food. Fresh and seeet coconut. Comfortable sun beds. Loved it

    Amazing restaurant ! and I really mean it. The atmosphere and place itself were both amazing. You get to eat outside with a perfect weather and with the best view. What about the food … simply delicious. We ate so much. I recommend sharing everything. Que were 6 so we took kind of everything. Go to this place if you want good middle eastern food !!

  • Review 3 (2025-04-14 - Rating: 5)

    I really like the place, the food is really good , the music is nice and the ambience is incredible.Almost all of their dishes are great.The only downside is that I booked through google, however, when we arrived they said that our table is non-smoking, although they don’t have this as an option when booking.However, the hostess later moved us to a smoking table.

    Went to Ninive with my husband and had an amazing experience. We tried the watermelon salad, vegetable couscous, and fish—everything was delicious, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommended! ✨👌🏼✨

    This beach club is absolutely amazing! The oriental vibe is so well done, creating the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy. The food was delicious—every bite was a treat! As a big fan of cocktails, I can confidently say they serve some of the best Ive ever had. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making the experience even better. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind in style!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ninive restaurant in Dubai and it was truly an amazing experience. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the elegant and sophisticated ambiance of the place. The decor is simply stunning and the atmosphere is just perfect for a special night out.The food at Ninive restaurant is nothing short of delicious. Every dish we ordered was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The menu offers a wide range of options, from traditional Middle Eastern cuisine to more contemporary dishes, and everything we tried was simply outstanding.But what really stood out to me was the service. The staff at Ninive were incredibly attentive and made us feel right at home. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations that really enhanced our dining experience.Overall, I would highly recommend Ninive restaurant to anyone looking for a truly memorable dining experience in Dubai. The combination of amazing food, elegant ambiance, and impeccable service make it a must-visit destination for foodies and travelers alike.

    Ninive Dubai has truly outdone itself with this stunning new beach club! The design is impeccable - stylish, modern, and thoughtfully crafted to create a luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere. The food is simply outstanding, offering a menu full of flavors that perfectly complement the beachside vibe. And speaking of vibes, it’s a perfect mix of relaxation and energy, making it the ideal spot to unwind or celebrate. Highly recommend visiting, so you won’t be disappointed!

    Came here for dinner, tried both morrocan food + Iraqi tashreeb shoulder, overall delicious. Ambiance and seating was good, only negative was the loud music.

    Fantastic beach club! Beautiful setting with crystal clear water and comfortable loungers. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food and drinks are excellent. Perfect spot for a relaxing day by the sea. Highly recommended!

  • Review 10 (2025-03-18 - Rating: 5)

    We tried the Iftar in this restaurant. Lets be honest, the food is one of the best, if not the best from the city. However, at the end of the Iftar, less servers were available and it created so much confusion. We waited so much time just to get dessert and tea. I still highly recommend it. The atmosphere is great, it feels like a lost oasis in the busy city. PS: you need to go around and up the stairs as we struggled to find the entrance.

    A great spot away from everything but still in the middle of it all. This is a quiet hidden away spot that serves up some great food and shisha. The pistachio ice cream was the standout for me

  • Review 14 (2025-05-03 - Rating: 5)

    Probably one of my ALL-TIME favorite places in Dubai. What a stunning place. Amazing vibe, amazing music, amazing food. What more can you ask for? Its just.. unreal. The location is so insane, it feels as if youre in a different world. Theyve done this location so well, I love it there. Amongst all of the places in Dubai, this stands out.

  • Review 15 (2024-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    Food was incredibly deliciousGot reservations for the same nightThe hostess was very helpful on finding a table not too close to the music speakers as we wanted to talk and socialize.The music is top top, the dj has a good selection✔️ we’ve enjoyed it a lotIn regard to the service I consider the server named Murad a black tall guy, he needs more customer service training yet. He is a kind of pushy and wants the guest to decide quickly. Being foreign that speaks a different language we need to search photos of the menu on instagram to have a better idea of choicesHe seams to be a good guy but needs more training as a suggestion.Will recommend this restaurant to my friends visiting Dubai next month as the location is very strategic, near the museum of the future

    Today we had Iftar in Ninive Emirates Tower, the food was amazing and also the service. Thank you to Mr Max and Ilyas for their kindness and professionalism. Also, thank you to Noora at the réception she was very friendly and smiling which made us more confortable. I recommend this place 100%

  • Review 19 (2025-01-03 - Rating: 5)

    I cannot praise this place enough. From the experience to the food it was unparrelled and deserves every star it can be given. The manager Ayoub made this experience for myself and my sister the most incredible and welcoming experience throughout start to finish. Each course was mouth watering and is something ive never experienced at this level and will be sure to come again in the next few months leaving a 9.5-10 star on my personal rating. My server was Yasser my Moroccan friend who was so helpful and even was refreshing the coals on my shesha. The setting was well lit and gave perfect ambience with their music throughout which wasnt over stimulating and sounded very nicely which is a personal tick for myself.10/10 must and will do again thank you Ayoub and the team for making my start to 2025.

  • Review 21 (2025-02-09 - Rating: 5)

    We had a wonderful experience at Ninive! The ambiance is beautiful, and the music adds a perfect touch to the overall vibe. We ordered the Feta Cheese and the Mix Grill to share—both were absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was excellent; the staff was attentive and friendly throughout our visit.If I had to suggest one improvement, it would be to adjust the seating arrangement slightly to offer a bit more privacy for guests. However, this is a minor point and didn’t take away from the enjoyable experience.Highly recommended for a relaxed, flavorful dining experience!

    Such a beautiful place with gorgeous interior. It was so relaxing with nice chilled music. Food was 10/10 😍 the watermelon salad, with Greek yogurt was delicious! Can’t wait to go back 👏

    Got to experience this spot on a girls trip and this was our first dinner outing. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful. We sat outside and had an amazing dinner. The drinks were good, the food was good. Combined at our table included seabass (my fav), lamb chops, shrimp, this type of chickpea dip which was also delicious. If youre planning a trip definitely put this on your list of places to go to!

  • Review 25 (2024-01-21 - Rating: 4)

    Have to say I wasnt convinced as I sat down, music next door was as loud as the one in the venue, was not pleasant at all to have two different sounds blended, very loud. Food better than expected, I had the chicken tajine. Cocktails, OK but overall good vibe and atmosphere. Great for winter weather and shisha lovers. My friend said it was good. I liked the marrocan tea as well.

  • Review 26 (2025-04-05 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing atmosphere and food , would come again for sure the food is 100/100

  • Review 29 (2024-01-31 - Rating: 5)

    So hard to pinpoint the best part of our dining experience at Ninive. The design and layout of the restaurant was beautiful and moody. It felt like an oasis in the middle of high rise buildings. Our servers were very friendly and attentive. Honestly all our food was amazing! We got the wagyu and king prawn skewers, cous cous, sea bream, and some starters.

  • Review 30 (2024-11-09 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing food, staff and service. Absolutely phenomenal dining experience!

  • Review 31 (2023-12-04 - Rating: 5)

    As we entered from the front of the building we had a hard time finding the restaurant. We asked multiple people who worked there and they couldnt guide us well. Finally we had to cut across another restaurant and found our way. The ladies at the front desk were all smiles, which I loved. We were taken to our table. as we had a large group they managed to re arrange and seat us all together in a nice area just to ourselves. The staff were just amazing. Very attentive and polite. I managed to get the name Hamza and he was always checking up on us. The food was delicious and the first time trying certain dishes. The quantity is also good enough to share with one more person. There was a minimum charge of AED300 per person for that night as it was a weekend with a large group, which they tell you in advance. I had a great time there. At one point i was feeling so hot and they managed to put a fan facing my table. Thank you to the staff for a job well done. Must visit here for sure.

    Ninive Restaurants is a true hidden gem in Dubai, offering a unique dining experience with its lush greenery and Middle Eastern charm. From the moment you step foot in this oasis-like setting, you’re transported to a world of culinary delight. The menu features a tantalizing array of dishes inspired by Levantine cuisine, each bursting with flavor and artfully presented. Whether you’re savoring a traditional mezze platter or indulging in a decadent main course, every bite is a culinary journey you won’t soon forget.

    Highly recommended for small groups, and couples dinner.Vibes, and atmosphere are great with an amazing outdoor setting.Try to book in the med tables or corners but avoid the fans beside the walls. It makes it hard to speak.The food is great. You can see our orders from the photos.Its a morrocan fused cosine with good portions.

    Ninive has always been my go-to for a flavorful satisfying treat. Food never disappoints, top-tier service delivered by such caring staff members and ambiance has this culturally comforting vibes of the Middle East. Highly recommended!

  • Review 43 (2024-02-05 - Rating: 5)

    I was here with my wife for a romantic dinner, the location is just perfect, the atmosphere is very relaxed, especially for me because I love Arabic culture! The view is great, the ambience is great and the service is perfect. Our waitress was the lovely Yilian! She made us feel so comfortable, provided great service and was very forthcoming. My wife and I were enchanted by her constant wonderful smile with charisma from Cuba when serving, and she even speaks our language, German, which made the stay even more pleasant. You are welcome to ask questions about Yilian as the waitress, fantastic!

  • Review 45 (2024-02-08 - Rating: 5)

    Great atmosphere and energetic vibe. We really enjoyed the food and they had some inventive cocktails. Chicken tagine and their unique take on hummus are must tries. Some of the wait staff are young and a bit inexperienced but they tried really hard and made sure we were attended to. Highly recommend.

  • Review 46 (2025-02-19 - Rating: 5)

    Dinning in Ninive was extremely satisfying. From the start to end, the team did all their efforts and more to give us the best service possible. Humble, elegant and very responsive. The atmosphere just takes you to cosmos and I felt sometimes like I am in Africa with all the music vibes, the soft lightning and plants. The food speaks of itself, very delicious and innovative. The Fattoush salad and the Almond Kunafa & Sorbet were from another planet. I strongly recommend anyone to try it out.

  • Review 47 (2023-07-04 - Rating: 5)

    This restaurant is super gorgeous. You feel like in a scene right out of Arabian nights.Food was really good. We ordered the mixed grill platter and it was really good grilled mix of prawns, beef, chicken and lamb chops.With cocktails and shisha, it was really a chill place to hang out with friends. A clear 5* for me!

  • Review 49 (2022-01-19 - Rating: 5)

    Food 5*Service 5*Vibe 5*Our FAVORITE restaurant by far in Dubai. My only complaint is that the prices of the Shisha/Hookah were ridiculously high.But the food, service, environment, everything was amazing. Its outdoor seating in an air-conditioned tent. They have a full bar and a tropical vibe.Our servers were very attentive and kept checking in on us every 10 minutes to ask if we needed anything.I highly suggest getting the mixed platter, that way you can try a lot of what they have to offer. The lamb chops, shrimps, kabobs, everything was remarkable from the platter.Must visit if you want to do fine dining in Dubai.

    Good food, great service, even better atmosphere. We had the tamarind chicken and feta salad for starters and they were delicious. We then shared the mixed grill for main. The portion was huge - flavour wise we loved the prawns, lamb and Wagyu but the flavour on adana somewhat lacked. Would come again to try the other dishes as they looked great.

  • Review 53 (2022-03-30 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely loved the place, food and service! To begin with the first thing about the restaurant which cant miss is the gorgeous ambience..surrounded by greenery and a cosy set up ninive is the perfect place for a dinner date or just if you want to unwind! This was a surprise date by hubby dearest and i must say i was very pleasantly surprised!! Although a bit pricey but the portions served were unexpected! They serve some delicious moroccon food good enough to share! We started with the chicken durum which we fell in love with! Crisp and freshly baked bread filled with minced chicken served with the perfect dip! This was followed by the most flavorful chicken couscous! Every bite is an explosion of taste at this restaurant! We ordered a drink ( cant recall the name now) but consisted of something called paradise tea mixed with peach syrup, passion fruit and basil🥰 even though we were stuffed the dessert menu looked too good not to order! I totally forgot to mention wideh(hope i have spelt the name correctly!) our server for the evening! She was such a delight..recommending the right dishes to order n the highlight was the dessert she recommended...chocolate caramel tart....! Words cannot describe this dessert...every bite of this tart was a delight! Wideh was such a swthrt..providing some excellent customer service! Overall we had a grt time here and look forward to going bck for more!😍

  • Review 57 (2019-05-26 - Rating: 4)

    Beautiful Ambience.Service is fast.Staff is very very supportive.We were in the big group. And the service we got during an Iftar - I would say it was the best.I liked - Tamaring Juice and Delicious Umm Ali with Icecream.I just felt that the lights were little low to see the food, but its ok. They might have tried to keep the good ambience.Overall, it might be a little expensive but worth visiting.Just one last note: less veg options.

  • Review 58 (2021-07-24 - Rating: 4)

    Amazing ambiance, I can say it’s the best in Dubai. Food was good, don’t miss the wagyu beef 🥩-negatives-1. We were seated in a corner table despite the restaurant was somehow empty, it’s a low table + high chars so eating was not very comfortable, I asked to be moved but I was told it’s not possible يعني لازم تحجزون والا نفس نظام بعض المطاعم كأنه عقاب لو حجزتوا نفس اليوم ما بنعطيكم طاوله حلوه 😉2. Tables are next to each other’s, no spaces whatsoever, I think you should consider this specially for your corner tables on the side

  • Review 59 (2024-12-07 - Rating: 5)

    An amazing spot for dinner. In fact, its a veritable oasis in the bustle of the city. Great food. Great views. Amazing ambiance. Perfect spot for a taste of Middle Eastern/North African food.

    One of the best restaurants in Dubai considering the quality of food, of service and the atmosphere. They have great signatures drinks.

    Food was very tasty and all flavors had a spin on them. Service was good. A bit pricey but overall worth it.

  • Review 63 (2025-01-23 - Rating: 4)

    PROs:- Excellent service.- Great ambiance.- Dishes are well presented.- The Wagyu skewer was exceptional.- Suitable music which was modern Arabic with a beat.CONs:- Chicken tagine was watery and maybe therefore less flavorful. Because of the watery sauce substance, was also a bit dangerous to dip the bread if you wear a white blouse... 😉 You could not scoop it.- The taste of the pavlova desert was good, but the size was too small for this price.- The entrance was not easy to find, could be some better markings. But the waiter of another restaurant was so nice to bring me there trough their restaurant. But once you know, is easy.- I was excited for the special tea flavors I heard they had, was my first visit, but both flavors I wanted were not available.

    What a nice experience in the middle of downtown Dubai! You feel as if you stepped back in time. Definitely go in groups as the seating is massive and suits more groups than individuals.The food is amazing and the atmosphere is incredible. A great relaxing lounge with friends, enjoying tasty North African cuisines, with a tasty shisha by your side. It’s more a sharing concept with good size portion dishes.The DJ is also good, while we prefer he mixes more Arabic songs, he kept the beat and chill atmosphere going.Coming back soon ...

    One of my favourite restaurants in Dubai! It is truly an Oasis in the middle of this concrete jungle. The staff is super, they give great recommendations and have a lovely attitude. The place is magnificently decorated and the atmosphere is fancy and very enjoyable vibes. The food is just delicious, we had a royal couscous (good to share) and vegetarian burghul which I truly recommend. The cocktails were minimalist but very tasty. But the bestest part was the turkish Baklava dessert which I recommend along with some traditional tea! Truly a heartfelt taste. Thank you for this wonderful evening!

  • Review 68 (2018-02-24 - Rating: 5)

    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 IbrahimI 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 MarcMarc 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.HaythamHaitham 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.

    Lovely spot in DIFC. Was invited for an iftar event by a friend, it was a set menu and the arabic flavours were great. I especially enjoyed the beef kofta in a cherry sauce.

    The vibe was immaculate, one of the best i have ever experienced as the DJ was vibing his heart out and did not miss once! The service was top notch as we were served by Luka. The food was outstanding, the grilled shrimp skewer was perfect, the fattoush was amazing and full of flavor, the lamb chops were nice and tender and the superstar of the meal was the tashreeb, the meat was perfectly tender and the plate was full of flavor. I highly recommend it.

    Dining at Ninive Dubai was an awe-inspiring experience. Nestled inside the restaurants luxurious indoor tent, the ambiance was magical—perfect for a night out with friends. We indulged in the mixed grill platter and succulent lamb chops, paired with expertly crafted cocktails, all of which exceeded our expectations. The flavors, combined with the elegant yet cozy atmosphere, made for an unforgettable evening. Ninive is the ideal spot for those looking to elevate their dining experience in Dubai.
