Go back into the region’s culinary history, understand the changes that have occurred over time, find the gastronomic treasures by sublimating them with modern techniques.
This challenge lives up to the ambitions of Ninive. Convivial and elegant, its cuisine is served on crockery created especially for the venue by potters, suited to the refined tastes of a clientele addicted to excellence.
It does not revisit the past but revives sometimes-forgotten tastes to a region with powerful culinary traditions. The dishes are from all over the Middle East and North Africa: Iranian, Iraqi, Turkish and Moroccan.
In the dining area, everything is done to make the guests feel good, and staff are trained to inform diners about the history of the venue and its dishes. They can recommend pairings to ensure flavors are blended pleasantly.
