NINIVE

Bad experience ever ! I booked Iftar on montblanc majlis by NINIVE before 2 weeks at 6:30 ! Some one call me to confirm and I confirm ! I reached the restaurant exactly at 6:47 . The one on the reception said to me , we try to call ! No one answer!! Then she said you table is order taken!! I said sorry but it not pass 20 minutes! And no one call me ! First of all at least we are fasting give us a cup of water and dates! Then one guy come told us it ok to site near the pool ! Sorry it’s your mistake if you have given someone our tables it’s not our mistake!! They he arrange table for us while we are standing! With only 2 chairs! And we are 4 ! One the chairs with a bad condition ! After a while they bring for us pool chairs!!!! Then they are starting serving us bring 3 sambosa ! And we are 4 we ask to bring the one piece!! Bad experience ever ! At least no one said only sorry or we are apologies!

One of the best Arabic restaurants I’ve visited in the last months. Delicious everything, starting from bread, finishing with mains. Out of 5 positions everything was amazing and quite unique. The ambiance is dark and romantic. Service is good. Must visit.

Came here with friends a month ago, food was overall good, but not the best I’ve had.

Staff was not bad; they didn’t do anything exceptional or out of their way.

Atmosphere was alright; like any other place you go to.

Not sure I’ll visit them again, but now I can say I’ve been.

I've been to Ninive for their Iftar. Food was very average and not worth the price they were charging. It was very average, and I think the Iftar package should be way less. We were calling the given number on the website for 2 days, and nobody answered. Table slots on the website if you want to book online are showing that it's fully booked, but it really wasn't. The reservation team called me back only after 3 days of not picking up the phone... should work on that.

On the other hand, place by itself it's very nice and well put together, vibe is super nice and the music was matching so 5 star for that.
I think it would be better for drinks over the weekend for sure. We really enjoyed the DJ's set.

We made a reservation for sohoor at 11 pm through a phone call.
Upon our arrival, the waiter informed us that the kitchen would close by 11:45 pm.
Typically, when booking at a restaurant, they inform you in advance if the kitchen will close early, but in this case, they did not.
We politely asked the waiter if he could at least hold the main course for us, to which he agreed.
Following that, we inquired about any minimum spend requirement since we were not informed about it during our booking over the phone or through email.
The waiter confirmed that there is indeed a minimum spend of AED 250 per person.
To meet this requirement, we decided to increase our order.
However, when the food arrived, the starters, hot appetizers, and main courses were all brought out together.
Perplexed, I asked the waiter why they were served simultaneously, and he claimed to have held them for 20 minutes.
This explanation didn't make much sense to me.
At around 12:15 am, other customers arrived and placed their orders, receiving their food by 12:45 am.
Curious, I approached another waiter and inquired about the kitchen's closing time. He informed me that it closes at 12:45 am.
Frustrated, I sought out the supervisor and explained the entire situation. He assured me that there was no minimum spend requirement and that the kitchen does close at 12:45 am.
However, the manager later intervened and contradicted this, stating that there is indeed a minimum spend. As a gesture of goodwill, he offered a discount on our bill due to the inconveniences we experienced.
When the bill arrived, only the fruit platter was deducted from the total amount.
We paid the bill and left. The following day, we spoke to a friend who had also dined at the same place on the same day, and she confirmed that they were not informed about any minimum spend requirement.
