    NIU has a really cozy ambiance with great music and low light design. As for the food, they offer very tasty poke bowls with fresh ingredients such as salmon. Very healthy and enjoyable!!

    Poke restaurant with a very nice interior. I loved the furniture and concept of the store and the colors are so relaxing. I loved the chairs too. The food is very good i tried poke and chicken poke and they were very good. The waiter was very friendly and helpful.

    The review (dating from christmas) is based on a first time trial. It was a dine in experience and this place is a must try. The ambiance is amazing. All is clean specially that we are in Corona time. All safety measures are being taken very well. The staff is very friendly and they helped us choose what to have with their recommendations + a fast service. We had as appetizer a salmon avocado spread and it was Amazingly good. You can feel all the flavors and they are just right! We had also the ulaula salmon which was also great. It's a must try. I am definitely visiting this place again and again and again. NIU keep it up :D

    We went there on Valentine's Eve. The restaurant was full, so making a reservation in advance would have been better. The place was decorated in a lovely way: a bouquet of roses, a candle on each table and some red balloons on the floor. They were playing romantic songs loud enough to have some privacy and soft enough so you would hear each other on the same table. The food was delicious! The ingredients were super, super fresh. The amount of food was generous, and the sauces were on point. We tried the Philly Salmon and the Sweet and Sour Shrimp. For dessert, we discovered the Leche Frita. We liked how good the caramel sauce was.

    We ordered the set menu for 2 for lunch, Salmon is so fresh, portion is great, and the options are good, the poke are amazing and rich. the only thing that made me put 4 stars is the service, the waiters looked tired and fed up, even though we were the only ones there, and didnt talk much with them. however great atmosphere and one of the best quality salmon in Leb so far!

    We had the set lunch at Zaitunay Bay. The food was disappointing. Rice badly cooked and full of sugar, salmon didn't taste very fresh, poke bowl combination was not done well. I had high hopes for this place based on Instagram photos.

    I have been waiting to try this place for a while after seeing their instagram account. I must say it exceeded my expectations!, simply amazed. Bowl are Fresh and creative, made to your desired tastes... Simply delicious! The food was fantastic! an explosion of eclectix flavors made better by the freshness of ingredients, moreover the portions are big. Not to mention the ultimate measures of safety and hygiene. I ordered 🍣 Ula Ula salmon with shrimps, and it was to die for 😍, Love the thoughtful taste of spices. 🍗 LeLe Chicken, if you love sweet sauce taste you will love it!! 🥑 Salmon Avicado Spread The restaurant is large unlike the bowl restaurants and the decor is Amazing! Staff is super helpful and very friendly! and they had great recommendations. I will definetely be back soon to try new items

    I am a frequent traveller and i've tried poke bowls in many countries especially south east asia. When i came across NIU i had to try it so i headed to Zaituna Bay and honestly the worst pokebowl i have ever had. The sushi rice is tasteless, ingredients are fair, the salmon is clean but has absolutely no salmon taste, more of commercial ingrediants than good quality for the price you are paying. The beef teryaki was overcooked and chewy, had to return my dish. I would not recommend going to NIU for the food that you'll get and the price you'll pay. On the other hand, the atmosphere was wonderful which ofcourse being in Zaituna Bay. Service and staff very friendly and to be truthful, one i returned my dish i was offered a complementary drink which was a nice gesture from the employee and i thank her for that.

    I went to NIU Bowl in zaytouna, i can say that it is a great place to get a healthy and delicious meal.The décor is simple and elegant,I ordered dynamite shrimps,and they were super delicious. However,The salmon was fresh and flavorful, and the rice was cooked perfectly. The bowl was also generously sized and filling. I would definitely recommend checking out this restaurant if you're looking for a quick and easy meal. I would also like to point out that the prices are very reasonable.

    Excellent restaurant where you can have the best poke bowls. The portions are generous and the food has a unique taste. We also loved the shrimp bao and the seafood ceviche. Their cocktails too are really good. All this is topped with a lively ambiance.

    I had an amazing experience at nui bowl . The delivery arrived on time . Packaging was neat and safe . I tried the shrimp bowl . It was fullfilling, flavorful , the ingredients were fresh . Combination was tasty due to the caramelized onions , crunchy veggies and fruits , the aioli wasabi matched perfectly . U can customize ur own or try their specialty.

    I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The combination of a beautiful sunset view, delicious drinks, and live cooking made for an unforgettable evening. The atmosphere was perfect for a romantic dinner or a fun night out with friends. The sunset backdrop added a touch of magic to the whole experience, and the live cooking kept us entertained and engaged. The drinks were expertly crafted and complemented the meal perfectly. I can't wait to return to this restaurant for another incredible dining experience. Definitely deserving of 5 stars!
