NENI Hamburg in Hamburg

Great dishes Super attentive staff Anytime again

The food was mind blowing, I was in heaven and am looking forward to another visit. Our waiter Stephan was attentive, super friendly, and the welcome was warm. The ambience is great, you feel like you are having a meal with friends. We ate the menu purely vegetarian (whether vegan would have been possible) and it was worth it, it just wasn't manageable.

Simply recommended! Definitely try it!!!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! The service was so attentive and caring. I have never felt so cared for with my wheat and spelled intolerances. For the first time I was able to eat everything (because the service took such good care of it). A dream :)

I was really positively surprised! The food was super tasty – great spices, interesting combinations and something different than the standard. You can tell that a lot of emphasis is placed on special recipes here. The service was very friendly and attentive, and despite the store being busy, everything went pretty quickly. The atmosphere is relaxed, you immediately feel at home. I'll definitely be back!

Rarely have I had such good service! The food was excellent and a real experience!

Had no experience with Israeli cuisine. That's why I ordered the all sorts menu. Was a good decision

All good, maybe, for big eaters, slightly small portions - fantastically friendly, helpful service (I almost asked for a date ;-))

After an aperitif in the Boilerman Bar, we went straight to NENI for our company event – ​​a real highlight! We chose the Balagan menu and were thrilled: diverse selection, great flavors and great presentation of the dishes. The service was attentive and warm, the atmosphere lively and inviting. An all-round successful experience that really lifted us as a group. Many thanks to the whole team!

I've been to Neni a lot, but yesterday (April 12th) it really wasn't good. As always fully booked, this time the first cake of the menu arrived within a few minutes with the greeting from the kitchen, well before the drinks, which, even when asked, continued to wait. Then nothing happened anymore and we waited a long time for second gear. (Food was significantly more average than previous visits😪). With the dessert came the bill, with the note that our time was up... Honestly cheeky, WE didn't delay anything. The invoice was not a final invoice but something provisional. A rogue who thinks bad things about it. That’s it for now with this Neni. In others I have never had such an experience. It's a shame, I often booked the company for larger groups.

Haven't eaten this well in a long time.

The food was outstanding—every dish was packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. However, the wait time was over an hour, which took away from the overall experience.

We were there with 7 people and felt very comfortable. Always happy again.

The staff is amazing especially the waitress Lisa The food is simply top notch

Thank you dear Tino ❤️️ for this unforgettable evening!! As a tourist, I spontaneously looked for a nice restaurant after the obligatory harbor tour and ultimately stopped at NENI following a recommendation. The extraordinary reception by Tino was the first highlight of the evening. All of the service staff at NENI were extremely friendly and accommodating throughout. To be honest, as villagers we were quite ignorant after first looking at the menu, as we completely lack any knowledge of Eastern Mediterranean cuisine. Tino gave us comprehensive information and in the meantime served several courses of culinary delicacies. The dishes and their composition were a complete poem. We will remember Tino's charming, friendly and professional hospitality for a long time. Thank you!!

Overall bad experience. The bottle of wine was brought to us open. The young waiter was super unpleasant. The waitress was better but nothing special either. The food is ok and some dishes are good. Service and incompetence break the experience. To not return

An exceptionally beautiful evening with wonderfully delicious food. Balagan Balagan. We were surprised, ordered the Balagan menu, and didn't regret it. It was truly delicious, and I ate wonderful things that I might not have ordered otherwise, but will order again in the future. To go with it, we had the wonderful wines from Galilee, both white and red, which are highly recommended. NENI is a must-visit, if only for the great atmosphere. The service was friendly, attentive, but not intrusive, just the way I like it. I would love to come back.

Super delicious food and very attentive staff

A magnificent culinary experience in a relaxed atmosphere. As a large group, we were instructed to choose the set menu. The selection of dishes was excellent, with a bit of everything. The promise that no one would leave hungry and that we would bring more food upon request was also fulfilled. The only drawback was that the very friendly and attentive service eventually reached its limits due to the full house, so our glasses remained empty for quite some time.

The appetizers are highly recommended. In retrospect, I wish I had ordered three or four appetizers instead of a starter and main course. We both found the hummus main courses a bit boring, and in the end, there was simply too much hummus. We particularly enjoyed the cabbage appetizer and would have liked to try more. For €20, I would have been quite disappointed with the main course without the appetizers. But for people who can never get enough hummus, it's definitely a feast. Service is good and friendly, portions are rather small, and the ambiance is so-so; it could perhaps be a bit more modern.

Very good quality, best service, but the price is too high for the small portion.

Were there for the second time today and were thrilled again. The service was super friendly and attentive. Our selection once through the menu was on our table within a few minutes. Everything recommended. It's not exactly cheap, but it's absolutely appropriate for the ambience, service and food.

Really a very nice restaurant with very tasty food. Overall, it's more likely to be in a more expensive price category but highly recommended. Our service staff was also super nice and accommodating. It's best to reserve in advance!

A very nice restaurant, both for the breakfast buffet in the morning and as a restaurant in the evening. The varied and unique menu offers something for everyone, including the chance to try something new. The ambiance is very pleasant, and the service was very attentive.

We were at NENI at lunchtime. The food was very extensive and tasted excellent. However, the portions were so large that we had slight problems with the starter and main course. Next time either just one or the other.

Absolutely great! Starting with the super nice reception, things continued with a delicious start. The service was super friendly and the waiting time was not significant. The mixed platters were incredibly tasty, from the meat to the vegetarian dishes to the incredibly delicious dessert. Simply recommended!

We had lunch there today and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. It was incredibly tasty and perfectly seasoned. A clear recommendation! We will definitely come back to try other dishes too.

Hands down, my favorite place in the city! Plan ahead, book a table and go. You will not regret it!

A great place to escape from everyday life. Great people in the service and food that relaxes your soul 🥰

My highlight: the coziest sofas and incredibly delicious vegan options (the popcorn falafel are the most tender I've ever eaten).

Super tasty Israeli restaurant with a small but good selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. The King Oyster Mushroom Shawarma in particular stands out as an outstanding vegetarian dish. But the mezze such as hummus and the like are also super delicious. In terms of price, the restaurant is definitely in the higher price range, but it pays off in the quality of the food. The service is always great, friendly and yet not too stiff. The ambience is more modern than upscale, overall a good mix. Just as suitable for business lunches or business meals in the evening as for a private celebration. I can highly recommend the NENI on Überseeboulevard in HafenCity.

Unfortunately super unfriendly service. I haven't felt so unwelcome in a long time.

Everything was great! Very accommodating, attentive, friendly + flexible, because we were able to spontaneously get a table for a limited time.

Very tasty food and drinks. Successful atmosphere. Friendly service. Fair prices.

Wonderful! In every respect, really. You want the service that way, you want the cuisine that way, even the guests at the next table are the way you want them to be. 😊 No wonder it's hard to get a table.

So far, the best restaurant I’ve ever been to! The dishes are bursting with flavors and textures, with the perfect level of spiciness. Especially recommend the falafel and the ice cream dessert.❤️ The service was attentive, though I have to admit I didn’t pay much attention - I was too busy enjoying the food!😄

Very good service and really a nice shop!

The food and the building are just great! It was just very loud.

Hummus in the food everywhere for hummus lovers - ideal, but rather difficult for people who don't like hummus. 😉

We were traveling as a group and stopped at Neni's after work. Reservations make sense! Super nice service - always present and never intrusive. The in-house iced tea didn't appeal to me - it had a very strong taste of mint - I wasn't alone in that opinion that evening... Clearly structured card and quick ordering. The food is at the table very quickly - I then become alert very quickly - completely unnecessary in this case. The food is hot and freshly prepared. Of course I had the Popcorn Falafel and the Wagyu Kebap. Whether the kebab really has to be made from Wagyu may be debatable, but the result is completely convincing! Tender, juicy, well seasoned and simply delicious - served with smoked eggplant cream. Brilliant! The popcorn falafel didn't really appeal to me - very fluffy and crispy on the outside but not enough popcorn crunch for me - complaining on a high level! Since we also swapped things with each other - all the dishes are tasty and varied. Even the “potato peels” - great dish. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant, except for the noise - the tables are close together and this has a negative effect on the overall noise. Are we coming back? In any case! Food and service are first class. The price-performance ratio also suits me.

Great restaurant with great food and great service! Atmosphere deduction because the space is narrow/tight and a bit too loud for a business lunch! But the great food made up for it!

Do you really need to know weeks in advance when you're going to get a craving for Levantine cuisine? This is the case for an online reservation at NENI in Überseequartier. So yesterday, at the best time for coffee and cake, I spontaneously tried it: and it worked! Friendly, efficiency-oriented service. Eight minutes between ordering and serving. “I’ll fill the table for you here.” The tin bowls spin on the metal tables like tops. Our six dishes taste good, especially the hummus - but cooking is different. “Healthy 5-minute recipes for lazy days” is what brigitte.de says. In any case, the greeting from the kitchen was certainly not a greeting from trained chefs.

Beautiful ambience, cozy and nicely decorated. The food is authentically delicious and fresh. Dogs are also welcome and water was brought straight away without having to ask. We're happy to come back at any time, whether it's a meeting with friends or a business meeting, everything is possible there.

Great, tasty hummus variants, I liked it, large restaurant with plenty of space for groups and a nice atmosphere. Top👍🏼

Cool place for vegetarians too, nice service, excellent food, priced in the higher segment, sabchi was delicious, although a bit too spicy.

The food was amazing, especially the hummus. It was fantastic!

What a beautiful shop and friendly service. Very cordial. We felt so welcome and enjoyed our delicious meal.

We were greeted very nicely and escorted to the table. Since we were already at NENI Am Naschmarkt, we knew what to expect. We decided on 2 starters and a main course. We were advised on the selection because we didn't really know whether it would be enough. But, it did. So we still had the opportunity to order a small dessert. We would love to come back and let ourselves be surprised by the menu. Thank you Thank you

On Thursday evening it even worked for two people without a reservation :) I was there about a year ago and I found the portions to be rather small, yesterday it was more than enough. The artichoke hearts, roasted cabbage and the Korean fried chicken 10/10 👌🏼 really great service too!

Went there today and realized that the price & performance principle didn't work for us. Our seats were also positioned so that we could look into the open kitchen. We would have liked to have done without it. The music was set too loud for the conversations you would like to have while eating. [musical taste left out] Everyone likes it differently and so do we. All the best

Super friendly staff, great ambience, really tasty food, we'll be back!

Very aromatic food that is also pleasing to the eye, great service, cozy atmosphere, despite the fact that we didn't make a reservation, everything was great. Thank you for the lovely evening!!!

We had a lovely evening. The service was great, something you rarely experience these days. The food (we had the menu a few times, a few items à la carte) was good to excellent and the menu in particular was a nice, varied mix. Overall it was a bit loud all around, but it was still okay. Disappointing, however, that wine from the occupied territories (Golan Heights Winery) is sold, which is unfortunately not possible and leaves a bitter aftertaste.

Fantastic Levantine cuisine. Very creatively interpreted.

An incredible culinary highlight. NENI Hamburg is always worth a visit. Sensational food, perfect service and great ambience.

We were here for dinner and had an overall good time with you. -thanks Lisa! You were great. We'd love to come back.

Friendly and courteous hospitality. Great menu with Levantine cuisine. Absolutely recommended

Very cozy and invitingly furnished. Depending on the waiter, the service was between okay and very friendly and attentive. The food wasn't outstanding, but it was well made and tasted appealing. The price is within a fair range, but I am extremely dissatisfied with the business practices. What I won't include in the review, but what makes me avoid the NENI: If I have to order each slice of pita bread and pay for it individually and there isn't nearly enough to accompany a portion of hummus, I feel like I've been ripped off as a guest. That may be good for sales in the short term, but it alienated me.

Sehr gemütlich und einladend eingerichtet. Der Service war je nach Servicekraft zwischen okay und sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen war nicht herausragend, aber durchaus gut gemacht und geschmacklich ansprechend. Preislich bewegt es sich zwar im fairen Rahmen, mit den Geschäftspraktiken bin ich aber äußerst unzufrieden. Was ich nicht in die Bewertung eingehen lasse, was mich aber dazu bringt das NENI eher zu meiden: Wenn ich jede Scheibe Pita-Brot nachbestellen und einzeln bezahlen muss und zu einer Hummus-Portion nicht ansatzweise ausreichend gereicht wird, fühle ich mich als Gast verarscht. Das mag kurzfristig gut für den Umsatz sein, mich hat es allerdings verprellt.

Unfortunately I can only give 5 stars, that's far too few!!! We had the Balagan menu to share between two and it was absolutely fantastic. Absolute recommendation. My highlight was the cabbage with Caesar dressing and the sea bream with pumpkin and harissa filling. Don't miss this! The service was attentive, quick and fun. It was a thoroughly successful evening, thank you very much!

The three of us arrived on the eve of our cruise. Even without a reservation (strongly recommended), we were given a place in the quieter “spy corner”. The location in the old harbor office is beautiful. We had two starters, two main courses and some side dishes. Neni loves sharing was on the menu. Overall, all dishes fit perfectly into Haya Molchow's culinary concept. The Jerusalem plate was absolutely amazing! Lisa, our super nice waitress, always kept an eye on us and made sure that the evening felt like the first day of the cruise.

Great atmosphere, super delicious food

After a lot of persuading my wife, I finally went to Neni yesterday! I liked it a lot! Really delicious food, nice ambience and friendly but slightly annoyed service staff! The prices for our 4-pax balagan menu were actually too high. We should have ordered the dishes individually! Initially the portions looked small, in fact we were so full at the end that we couldn't finish it all! Conclusion: A great evening!

Super tasty, great staff and we'll be back

Wie so oft in dieser Zeit: Komplett überteuertes Essen und Trinken, hat zudem fade geschmeckt und war für € 21 als Hauptgericht ein Witz, so wenig.

Food and especially the service is good! I can recommend!

Like all other Neni’s, this one is also highly recommended. The food is delicious and the staff is always friendly and helpful! The ambience is also very positive, because the restaurant is beautifully decorated and there is a great atmosphere. Always my pleasure!

Unfortunately, the KING OYSTER MUSHROOM SHAWARMA did not meet my expectations. There were great aromas of oriental cuisine, but the dish was too simple and too little for a main course. In addition, the mushrooms on the slats were still very sandy. If you're looking for a good oriental 3-course menu, you're in good hands here. The service was very good. The atmosphere is a bit loud and restless. Reservations are mandatory on weekends!

Very tasty food, great ambience.

Incredibly delicious food and very attentive and friendly service.

The food is of a very high standard, I have rarely eaten so well. Especially the dessert *drool* Stefan served us kindly and gave us good advice; his service contributed significantly to these positive reviews.

Tolles Restaurant sowohl von der Optik als auch vom Ambiente her. Was aber noch wichtiger war, war der sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Service als natürlich auch das sehr leckere Essen. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

The food was fantastic and the service was bright, knowledgeable and very friendly. We'd love to come back.

A nice experience to eat there. Everything just fits together here for us.

Quite spontaneously and totally hungry, we got a nice spot late in the evening. We haven't had such nice service in a long time. The food was an exciting taste explosion, especially the dessert. We will definitely come back. The wait for our food was almost 0 minutes.🤣

The atmosphere is simply super cozy and the food was really deliciously seasoned and beautifully presented. Plus friendly staff. What more could you want?

Everything was fine. The food is, as expected, amazing. I would have liked to try the whole menu. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive and the restaurant was beautifully decorated. Everything here is really recommended. We'll be back

We often visit the NENI Hamburg and the 25hours Hafenamt. Everything is just right here. Thank you very much & keep it up.

The NENI is one of my favorite new discoveries this year. My expectations were exceeded. Great service, friendly, present and unobtrusive. The food: something special in its composition and seasoning, even dishes that I thought I knew pleasantly surprised me throughout. Even unspectacular-sounding dishes (e.g. “potato peels”) turned out to be an incredibly delicious surprise. You can't make a wrong decision on this menu. Price-wise: higher prices, suitable for the guests, but still ok. The only downside: I would have liked to reserve a table for my birthday, but unfortunately there were no more seats.

Breakfast buffet is sufficiently varied. Service quick and nice. Dinner was great with lots of new delicacies to try out.

Omg the top cracker!! Service top, very courteous and attentive, ambience top in loft style and food top, fresh top quality. Completely successful

Highly immoral supporting this brand

Good food, good service, attractive ambience. Having to clear our table for 4 after 2 hours was a somewhat abrupt end to our little family reunion...

Absolute recommendation. Insane food. Tip: Order the cabbage as a starter (see photo)

Had a wonderful girls night here. The food was amazing, we ordered multiple Mezze dishes so we could share. Absolutely loved the Brussel sprouts and the popcorn falafel are, hands down, the best falafel I ever had. Thanks for the fantastic night. Highly recommend for a cozy evening with great food.

Fantastic experience at NENI Hamburg! The food is bursting with bold Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors, and the atmosphere is lively and inviting. My personal favorite was the Jerusalem teller with vegan chicken option. It was my first time trying Israeli food! The staff were also super friendly and attentive, and the panoramic views add something truly special. A must-visit spot for anyone looking for delicious food and great vibes!

A nice location. Good food good wine 🍷. Alina gave us excellent advice. Thanks for that. Reservation is recommended.

I was lucky and spontaneously got a table for two early in the evening and ate as deliciously as in the old town of Jaffa. Great staff, great food and the ambience invites you to visit NENI Hamburg more often. We'll be back.

Super schönes und charmantes Restaurant im Alten Hafenamt. Küche aus der Levante - sehr lecker mit Top Zutaten. Freundliches, versiertes und aufmerksames Personal. Reservierung empfohlen, ist sehr beliebt. Immer wieder gerne!

Great restaurant with various Middle Eastern meals and menus. All service staff are always friendly and try to recommend the right dish. The dishes are served quickly after ordering and taste great. Anyone who wants to try something different or new has come to the right place. I will definitely stop by again.

I had the kebab skewer and have to honestly tell you that the price-performance ratio for the minced meat skewer is not right at all. You will be served a small minced skewer with very few ingredients for 30 euros. I have to be honest and say that for the price I expected something different and I am very disappointed with this restaurant.

What a delicious experience. Checked into the hotel by chance and found out about the restaurant. Even though it was during the week, the place was packed. Something like that actually speaks for itself. The nice man at the reception still got us a table, a little later, but it was worth the wait. The meals were very tasty across the board. Different from the usual “Mediterranean” style and rounded off with a lot of finesse. The appetizers are also recommended. The cabbage “Cabbage” was absolutely amazing. Sprinkled with Parmesan and topped with exciting César dressing. Wow. You have to try it: You can get so much out of such an old vegetable! The service was friendly and competent. All in all a successful evening, not exactly cheap, but worth an experience that will be remembered positively.

Food is really good! Would recommend to reserve a table. When we arrived with our toddler we felt not welcomed. The service was a bit rude and told us directly that we will have to wait longer because they are so stressed. Ambiente is great (if you get on of the tables in the main area).

Very tasty (in our case vegan) food and friendly service in an interesting atmosphere. Absolute recommendation!

Leider war ich etwas enttäuscht. Ich war bereit in mehreren anderen Neni Restaurants und dort war das Essen viel besser. Auch wenn es bereits etwas her ist, waren die Gerichte in den anderen Neni Restaurants (Naschmarkt, Berlin und Zürich) viel mutiger gewürzt und auch ansprechender angerichtet. Besonders vom Sabich war ich enttäuscht da es weder so angerichtet war wie ich es aus Zürich kannten noch spannend gewürzt war.. In Hamburg hatte ich 3 große Scheiben Aubergine in der Mitte aufeinander gestapelt, kaum Tomatensalsa und kein pochiertes Ei. Das war das letzte Mal in Zürich viel schöner gelöst und auch in Hayas Kochbuch / Video sieht es anders aus. Es kommt mir so vor als ob die Gerichte für eine schnelle Herstellung und einfache Anrichteweise optimiert wurden. Auch der Service war zwar super freundlich, aber nicht sehr aufmerksam. Der Hauptgang kam bereits als wir die Vorspeise kaum aufgegessen hatten, wenn wir noch etwas trinken wollten, mussten wir immer nach einem Kellner rufen. Somit stimmt für mich Pres-Leistung nicht. Schade.

Really nice shop. Very friendly and courteous staff. The food was simply outstanding.

We were very impressed by the ambience, Service and especially the food. The two of us had the Mezze Trio as a starter, Sabish and Kebab as the main course and Haya loves to share as dessert. Although we were very impressed with the dessert, we ultimately couldn't decide which course was the highlight of the evening - because everything tasted great. Despite the 4-hour journey, we will definitely come back. Kind regards to the whole team👍

Everything was great, especially the service, but also the interesting atmosphere. The sauce for the fried potato peels was also very tasty, they also tasted quite good, but unfortunately they were dripping with fat (probably not olive oil at this point) and that was a shame.

Tolles Restaurant mit moderner und trotzdem gemütlicher Ausstattung. Wunderbares tasting Menü einmal quer durch die Karte und das Servicepersonal war durchweg ausmerksam, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wer sich nicht entscheiden kann, was er essen soll der muss das Menü probieren. Der Wahnsinn und von allem etwas. Geht ab 2 Personen. Aber Hunger mitbringen😂 Beim nächsten Hamburg Besuch unbedingt wieder.

Das Ambiente ist sehr schön. Die Reservierung war für 2 Stunden. Darüber wurden wir vorher informiert. Wir mussten allerdings 45 Minuten warten bis der Service unsere Bestellungen entgegen genommen hatte. Sie waren zwar freundlich , aber sehr unaufmerksam. Wir hatten keine Möglichkeit mehr ein Dessert zu bestellen. 10 Minuten vor Ende unserer 2 stündlichen Reservierung wurden wir bereits aufmerksam gemacht , dass wir die Rechnung bezahlen sollen. Wir könnten lediglich noch einen Espresso bestellen meinte die Frau vom Service . Wir fühlten uns wie rausgeschmissen. So etwas gehört sich nicht für so ein Restaurant. Es wurde angeboten in eine anliegende Bar zu gehen… Auch das Essen überzeugte uns nur teilweise. Wir sind unzufrieden aus dem Neni gegangen und würden es nicht nochmal besuchen.
