About
Housed in the vast former Citroën garage beside Amsterdam's Olympic Stadium, NENI brings the spirit of Tel Aviv to the south of the city. The space is as generous as the menu: informal, cosmopolitan, and buzzing with life.
The kitchen draws deep from the well of Middle Eastern flavour — fragrant herbs, abundant vegetables, and dishes cooked over charcoal that are made for sharing. Vegetarian diners are well catered for, and the format encourages ordering widely and grazing freely across the table.
A Gault&Millau score of 12/20, a Google rating of 4.6 from nearly 4,000 reviews, and a place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500 all point to a restaurant that consistently delivers — for critics and everyday diners alike.
Book your table and bring your appetite — NENI is best enjoyed with plenty of dishes and good company.
