Ninar — Restaurant in Paris

Kinan is the proprietor. He is very friendly, very helpful, and he knows Syrian food!

The restaurant is on a side street, decorated stylishly and simply, and he has nice music playing. Its a great ambiance in which to enjoy VERY good Syrian food. They will take care of you well, and recommend a variety of different staples to indulge in Syrian cuisine! You can take it to go, or dine in.

Speaking of the food. It is fresh, full of flavor, and very high quality. He has his own preparations and presentations, and its unique and delicious.

Its not cheap, but its not expensive either. It is just right. I will be back.

We had a little bit of different things: Fatouche, Falafel, Hummus, Moutabal (Babaganuj) and Kafta. Everything was light; well-balanced and full of flavor. The service was excellent too. The owner was very kind to help us in English. Highly...

We had a delivery over Christmas from Ninar. The food was simply delicious. I am familiar with Middle Eastern cuisine, therefore, I have high standards but Ninar lived up to my expectations and I was pleasantly surprised by it. We will definitely keep on coming back for more. I highly recommend it. As a plus, the people who are running it are very professional,...
