Very expensive, small quantities of food. Starters were moreish but deep fried edamame couldn’t be eaten after they cooled and upset our stomachs. Main (snapper) was poorly matched with a thick tomato sauce. Service was inattentive and inside the venue is extremely loud

Our meal at Nikita was exceptional. The atmosphere was vibrant and fun (a Friday night) and the food and service were amazing. I would highly recommend eating there. I can't wait to go again.

Overall was a good experience. Unfortunately it was extremely understaffed, and felt like we had to wave down service a couple of times. Very limited menu, but of what we had it was great. Highly recommend the steak with the bone marrow.

Wonderful first visit to Nikkita. We took all the advice from the staff and had a fabulous meal paired with a delicious Chilean red wine. Super service and a really exciting and different meal. The Angus Rump with bone marrow and cabbage side was outstanding.
