Where?
NINIVE, JUMEIRAH EMIRATES TOWERS, DUBAI
Dining experience: Dinner
What’s it like? Nestled between the two striking Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Ninive is a picturesque urban, open-aired majlis – it’s a relaxed, low-lit venue that creates an intimate setting amidst the hustle and bustle of Dubai. Offering skyline views of Burj Khalifa, Ninive reminds me of being in a traditional Bedouin tent – only it’s luxurious and lush with hanging gardens of greenery. The venue is abundant with character and heritage that honours the Middle Eastern region. Seating here is low and cosy, with communal areas set out for sharing plates of Arabic-inspired eats with friends over shisha and refreshing beverages. The atmosphere is relaxing yet upbeat on a Friday evening as a live DJ plays trendy house-style music with an Arabic twist.
What are the food highlights?
Take a journey to the orient at Ninive, with a menu that pays homage to the Arab kitchen. Serving up Middle Eastern specialities from all over the region, plus Northern African countries like Turkey and Morocco, Ninive’s offering is very sharing-style friendly with a range of hot and cold starters, dips, soups and salads, grills, mains, skewers, couscous, sides and desserts to choose from.
