Plan your visitAbout Nineveh Restaurant
Nineveh Restaurant builds Sydney’s crispest, budget-friendly Iraqi falafel rolls stuffed into traditional samoon bread. Step past the counter queue in Fairfield Heights and customise a pocket with crisp falafel, fried eggplant, pickles, and hot chips. A hit of tangy amba—the spiced Iraqi mango sauce—ties the whole sandwich together alongside a splash of tahini. Staff keep the line moving fast, often handing over a cup of warm, complimentary soup while you wait.
- Iraqi Samoon Bread: Traditional diamond-shaped Iraqi samoon bread baked fresh and stuffed with crispy falafel instead of conventional thin pita.
- Eggplant & Amba Sauce: Sandwiches come loaded with fried eggplant and a sharp, savoury Iraqi pickled mango sauce that balances the crunch.
- Complimentary Soup: Takeaway and dine-in patrons often receive a welcoming cup of hot house broth on the house while waiting.

Especially on Iraqi bread, (Samoon) and with the Mango sauce (Amba). Adds a real fresh taste to this explosion in your mouth of a meal. Also adding eggplant just changes the dynamics of this sandwich to a whole new level.
