Nineveh Assyrian Restaurant

Best vegan tahini pie I've ever had. We ordered upside down, dessert first, so we would have room, yum. Dolmas was our starter, love the pomegranate seeds. Over the top tasty tenderloin skewer, tender, moist, packed with flavor, perfect as is. Very serviceable Kufta skewer especially with the sauces they supply, love the pickled veggies, (Torshi)! Next time we go, I will order them instead of the roasted veggies. What's not to love about a salad with dill and mint. Service held up well on Valentines evening, plan to come back when it is less crowded to see them at their absolute best.

Olympia’s finest restaurant these days! Very clever menu, gorgeous plating, fresh ingredients, and delightful staff. Cocktails are also superb. There are a ton delicious vegetarian options. This place would have a line out the door if it were in Seattle or Portland. Thanks Nineveh!

I don't even know where to begin here - this place is the best restaurant in Oly and maybe Washington. For background, I have loved Middle Eastern food my whole life and my 11 year basically grew up eating in an Afgan restaurant. Nineveh is just simply fantastic and a flavor explosion. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. One of the best meals of my whole life and we will be regulars. Highly recommend and I am a bit of an Olympia food critic. A++++.

Was passing through Olympia and looking for a nice place to grab a meal . Came to Nineveh based on the amazing reviews and happy to say that we were not disappointed. Ordered several appetizers to share the beet/feta was a culinary work of art. The sweet potatoes and carrots were so tasty. My group ordered the duck ( son said it melted in his mouth) Lamb chops cooked expertly. Each dish had so much flavor. The care given to the prep and each dish was thoughtfully prepared . The friendly staff greeted us and even for a Sunday evening there was a steady flow of business but party of 4 only walked around the block for 10 minutes and a table was ready. There is lounge in back 21+ but liked the bright clean interior of the front. Well done we will return on our next trip south! Oh yeah and we had to try the tahini dessert- mixed reviews but I personally thought it was good- different flavor and one was enough for the 4 of us to get a good taste !

You will want to try every single thing on all of their menus. They have 3 unique menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We are big fans of their food truck, so we knew we wouldn't be disappointed. Atmosphere, food, and staff are top shelf.
