"Modeled as a modern majlis in Emirates Towers, I enjoyed Ninive’s lush, Hanging-Gardens–inspired greenery and a menu of elevated shared dishes from Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Morocco and the MENA region. Signatures include pumpkin spinach kibbeh, chicken tagine, tashreeb (slow-cooked lamb shoulder with crispy bread) and the tamarind chicken, making it a standout for modern Middle Eastern cuisine." - Claudia de Brito, Sophie Prideaux

"Set in a bustling area of the city, in the midst of grand towers, this charming restaurant exists in another world: a relaxing oasis, a step back in time. The design of this outdoor-only restaurant reflects a Bedouin tent, with rugs and lanterns, low tables and cosy sofas and lush greenery, representative of the ancient Mesopotamian city, Ninawa. Tasty and made-to-share dishes boast flavours from all over the Middle East and North Africa." - Michelin Inspector

I had the most stunning beach day at Ninive Dubai! The whole vibe is so chilled but still feels upscale and curated. The set-up is gorgeous — comfy loungers, beautiful décor, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you instantly relax. The staff were super attentive without being overbearing, and the service felt really personal. The food and drinks were a highlight too. Everything was fresh, flavourful and beautifully presented. It’s the perfect spot if you want a beach day that feels luxurious but still relaxed. I left feeling so refreshed and would 100% come back again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beach experience with great music, great energy and amazing service. 🌴✨

Such gorgeous vibes all around! Chill music, amazing food, and super friendly staff. It’s super chill but still classy. Spent the whole day lounging, sipping cocktails, and soaking up the sun with the best view. Honestly one of my favorite beach clubs, can’t wait to go back!

If you’re looking for a peaceful beach day with a chill, relaxed vibe this is the spot. They play Arabic-techno-inspired music that’s just the right volume, so you can actually enjoy a conversation. The front desk lady is super sweet and will take you straight to your booking. The restaurant manager is very attentive, and the waiters are lovely too. You get the best of both worlds the beach right in front and the pool just a few steps away. Both areas are beautiful. From the interior decor to the beachfront setup, everything is tastefully done it honestly feels like a resort in Marrakech. Definitely recommend it for a relaxing beach day with the girls. 🌞💛

Ninive Beach is such a beautiful and atmospheric spot in Dubai. The vibe is relaxed, stylish, and very different from the typical beach clubs — it feels much more intimate and soulful. The design is stunning: earthy tones, cozy low seating, soft lighting, and that signature Ninive desert-inspired aesthetic. It instantly puts you in a calm, warm mood. The service is attentive without being pushy, and the staff really make you feel taken care of. The food is flavorful with a Middle Eastern twist — everything tastes fresh and well-prepared. If you want a place to unwind, enjoy a beautiful view, good music, and a more refined atmosphere, Ninive Beach is perfect. It’s not about loud partying — it’s about comfort, elegance, and a relaxed luxury vibe.

Ninive is an impressive venue located in a prime area, offering a refined and elegant atmosphere that perfectly complements its vibrant setting. The ambiance, combined with excellent drinks and outstanding shisha, makes it an ideal spot for social gatherings or a relaxed evening out. While the overall experience was enjoyable, I found the Moroccan dishes somewhat underwhelming. The flavors did not quite meet my expectations, and even my Moroccan colleagues shared a similar sentiment. It may be beneficial for the restaurant to consider diversifying its menu to include a broader range of culinary options that could appeal to a wider audience. On a positive note, the service at Ninive was exceptional. The staff were attentive, courteous, and highly professional, which significantly enhanced the dining experience.

Had a great time at Ninive. Enjoyed the pool with great music, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. And this salad was so yummy… I loved the décor as well. Lovely atmosphere. My new favorite spot in Dubai ☀️☀️

100% worth to visit. If one wants to leave the buzz of Dubai mall behind, then Ninive is the place. The service and food were amazing. The location and interior are special while the prices are not overblown. Definitely would come back.

It’s such a beautiful venue - the aesthetic is unlike any other. It’s giving an escape to morroco, and I loved it. It’s also smaller and more intimate than other beach clubs which feels very luxe. There is a beautiful big pool, but you can always use the beach too.
