The food was excellent. I had a chicken dish with veggies which didn't really tell you how delicious it was. My husband had grilled salmon with really good rice and vegetables. Wine was very reasonably priced and I had a nice Aperol Spritz. They serve complimentary bread and a delicious spread of spiced mayo. We got delicious complimentary baklava for dessert and left two happy people. I definitely would be a regular here if I lived in Amsterdam. Go -- you won't regret it. (We also picked up takeout kabobs one right which were delicious too)

I was wandering around my friends when I stumbled on this restaurant. Such a hidden gem!…read more One of the best Mediterranean meals I've ever had. My friends and I had patatas bravas, chicken kabobs, hummus, mushrooms sauce, and falafel.. every bite was flavorful and tasted super fresh. Drinks were amazing too. The place has this chic Mediterranean meets upscale vibes but what really made it special was the owner and the staff. So warm and welcoming.. he chatted with us and then dropped off complimentary baklava that literally melted in our mouths. Skip the tourist traps and eat here.. you'll def leave full, happy. Already planning my next visit!

The gentleman told me to wait a couple minutes, as a smaller table was finishing up and he planned to seat me there. The servers spoke English very well and were charming. The kofta is a classic go-to. I thought mine was excellent, but just not quite hitting the mark that I've had in the past. Definitely the type of food that I would go back to multiple times, if time was infinite. Pleasant atmosphere (music, TVs, people not too loud), and a good amount of food. Prices have likely increased since the last time someone posted a menu picture. Mine was about €26 with a beer.

I'm writing mostly regarding the staff, location and dessert though. We had two slices of their Limoen Taart Roomkaas, which I think is their version of the Key Lime Pie (?). It was fantastic! At the time that we tried it, we were told that it was a new item. One of the Staff Members/Managers came by our table to see how we were doing. It was a pleasant short conversation and not at all obtrusive. I had a chance to take a good look around the restaurant, including the outdoor area. I could see the spot being a good place to be during warm weather as it sits on the edge of one of the canals. We took our talk out to one of the external tables before making the walk back to our hotel. Bottom Line: The place seemed like a really nice spot. I wish we had time to come back for dinner. I recommend you visit. I have the restaurant flagged for my next return visit.

Only higher end place in Amsterdam or anywhere else in Norway or Sweden we ran into this. I am sure the food is great but did not have a chance to experience it ... as my wife became ill a few hours prior to our prime time reserve at 7pm and the owner charged us 50EU since we had to cancel fully knowing the reason we could not make it. The place is very popular and small so you know they very likely filled the table and pocketed the money... and our high end hotel was made aware of this no flexibility policy .

I've been looking for a lounge type of atmosphere for a while, and this was exactly what I was looking to experience: dim lighting but still bright enough to see the menu (if you're over 40 you may understand), comfortable seating, spacious but not club-like. Staff was amazing. Drinks were strong (only had 1-ish) I tried the popcorn falafel, which is not falafel-flavored popcorn. Instead it is the most tender and juicy falafel I've ever had! The tahini sauce that came with it was citrusy, light yet full, and delicious. I also tried the goat cheese with olives (delicious), and the 3D beef bites. These were surprisingly tasty. I ate them while hot. Overall, I highly recommend Neni for good food and a good time. Make that ... great food and a great time!

For our main course we had Karous a spicy seabass filet with couscous and my girlfriend had the Tagine d'agneau. This is lam with prums and coriander!

This was my first time trying true Italian pasta outside of the States and now I can't look back. I would for sure recommend this place for a chill and familiar vibe for a drink or a bite to eat.
