Whilst visiting the Naschmarkt on a busy Saturday, my family and I stumbled across Neni, and given its popularity, decided to try it out. Without a prior idea of what the restaurant offers, I was surprised to discover a highly varied menu, with options ranging from falafel and hummus to paneer curries.

We opted for a variety of Middle Eastern flavors, with my personal choice the Sabich dish. The food arrived surprisingly quickly and all looked well made. The dish was delicious, with a creamy hummus that paired very well with crisp eggplant and an assortment of sauces and fresh herbs that brought freshness. An order of standalone hummus illustrated its quality, creamy and with a strong taste of tahini. An order of falafels were good dipped in the hummus, or in their accompanying tahini dip and even two cheese and spinach rolls were very enjoyable.

We were seated within the market’s buzzing alleyways, and even with the buzz and business of the restaurant our food arrived exceptionally fast. Nonetheless, once we were done eating, we were at no point rushed to pay or leave the table. Overall, for a weekend market experience and delicious food, it’s hard to go wrong with Neni.
