About NENI
NENI stands for the Eastern Mediterranean kitchen and dining experience presented by the Molcho family. The name is composed of the initials of Nuriel, Elior, Nadiv & Ilan, the four sons of kitchen virtuoso Haya Molcho.
Family and friends are an integral part of their lives and shape the NENI concept, as well as the family's Israeli, Romanian and Spanish roots. NENI lives by sharing dishes together, of passion and joie de vivre - in short Balagan, sympathetic chaos. The motto of the family: Life is beautiful. Be part of it.
Everyone should be able to try everything, so dishes are shared in an informal and relaxed way. The table culture at NENI is informal - it's easy going. The service is warm and personal- Eating at NENI means being welcomed at an Eastern Mediterranean kitchen table. Exactly on this principle, the NENI concept was built.
NENI stands for passion coupled with openness and a love for cooking.
About NENI Amsterdam
With NENI Amsterdam the former Citroën garage at the Stadionplein has been given new life and the iconic building has been restored in its full glory.
NENI Amsterdam offers an Eastern Mediterranean restaurant, NENI Deli for juices, salads and sandwiches with the same NENI philosophy. All bread comes from our very own bakery located in the Deli. Finally there is The Lemonman, a vibrant cocktailbar located above the restaurant, where citrus-inspired cocktails play a central role.

Take AwayThe Restaurant
The main restaurant is located on the former concrete garage floor. The split-level character of NENI Amsterdam allows a view on various levels at the same time. The main attraction is the large open kitchen placed in the middle of the space. Most guests have a direct view on the kitchen that is showcased in a large glass house. Eating is done at long tables around this kitchen, or at the counters near the chefs. Guests will then have a great view on the charcoal fired robata grill, or the domed oven used for special fish and vegetable preparations. Fig trees and a cloud of lanterns hanging from the ceiling add to the Mediterranean atmosphere.
The Deli
Our NENI Deli is an all-day food destination with its dishes prepared with the same NENI style and philosophy. During the day, the Deli features a wide variety of sandwiches and pita's made with bread from our own bakery, as well as salads, juices, sweets and coffees.

The Lemonman
The Lemonman pays homage to the Citroën founder’s father, Roelof Citroen. This Amsterdam-based family were fruit merchants in this part of the city and Roelof was given the nickname "de limoenman” (translated freely to the “lemonman”). This local hang out features an interesting wine and beer collection and, as the name already may suggest, it also offers a variety of lemon and arak based signatures and cocktails. Shots of the homemade lemon spirit flow freely.
