I stopped by Nineveh Bakery around 2:00 PM, but unfortunately they didn’t have kebab available at that time, which was disappointing since it’s one of the main items I was hoping for. Also, there is no seating—it appears to be take-out only, and that really should be mentioned clearly in the listing so customers know what to expect before coming. The place may be good for grab-and-go, but better communication about menu availability and dining options would improve the experience.

The bread was very fresh, but the chicken shawarma lacked flavor and was over powered by the amount of onions and lettuce packed. Additionally the shawarma was room temperature which kind of threw me off. I’m sure if you add a bit of salt and less fresh lettuce and onions it would’ve lived up to my standards.

We have been customers since around 2022, we come here whenever we are in the area. We always get the same thing, and it never disappoints! The service is fast and the food is delicious! Today they threw in some baclava for free, and we totally recommend!

Did a take out order of the hummus. The guy who took my order spoke english. The guy who made my order did not speak english and could not understand me, when I was trying to speak with him. The hummus was bland, no flavor, and somehow gritty, like grits that did not get blended. Very weird texture and taste. I did not continue to eat the hummus. I do not like to toss things away but I can not force myself to eat something that I do not like.

Freshly made classic middle eastern dishes that are simply put ...excellent. The freshly made Iraqi bread is exceptional. When you're not sure where to go or what to try, visit Nineveh, it's all good.
It was my first time getting there and I was super hungry. I had the best falafel sandwich in the west end. Clean place, fresh food, yummy falafel. Super friendly staff. I wish i had a pic, i ate that sandwich in the car!! It was super delicious. Highly recommended

Absolutely amazing shawarma! The beef and lamb were so flavorful and tender — just like the ones back home. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and I loved the small Pepsi bottle from the Middle East — such a perfect nostalgic touch. I’ll definitely be coming back!
The workers there have no morals or good treatment.

My mom love this place so I tried it & it is amazing. Food is fresh and tasty. Only downside for me personally is the customer service isn’t the greatest (for me). Even said Salam Walaikum and did not get any back. As a Muslim myself that was disappointing.

This is a bakery/take out place and it is great. Their samoon bread is baked daily and used for their yummy sandwiches. They freeze it fresh so you can buy bags of it. Thirty seconds in my micro and it tastes so fresh and soft! We are not from that region at all, so we have never been able to get pita to work for us- samoon is the answer. Everything else is homemade and so good. Best falaffel ever.
