Reviews of Novikov Restaurant & Bar
K. E.
Dined in the Asian side of the restaurant - The restaurant decor is nice and has an intimate feel to it. The presentation of food ingredients is also nice seeing all the colours of seafood and vegetables. The staff are helpful and always wizzing around. The food was nice and the portion sizes are very much decent👍🏼 although the egg fried rice was not nice tasting. I would be interested to try the Italian side of the restaurant to see the taste of the dishes there are like.

Dined in the Italian restaurant for a special birthday. Definitely not cheap and the tables were too close together but otherwise everything is perfect. Service was great, food delicious, portions generous. The candle in our desert and singing from the staff was a super nice touch too.
L. W.
The food was very good especially the duck salad. We had a mixture of lots of different dishes which we shared before 4 of us. The king crab leg was very overpriced so wouldn’t bother with that again! The service was also very good. It’s not cheap and there is a minimum spend per person.
F. A.
Went to Novikov for my friends birthday and overall, I would have to give the evening a 8/10. Decided to dine at the Asian side of the restaurant so we made a reservation in advance. Staff were friendly upon check-in and we were immediately seated at our table. They also serve halal food which are all highlighted on the menu!
Our waiter was super nice, who instantly offered us a drink while we decided on the mains. He took his time to explain some of the dishes and engaged in friendly conversations with us. Made us feel extremely welcomed so service for the night was 10/10.
Ordered chicken tacos and chicken dim sum for starters and lamb cutlets for the main course. All dishes were super tasty, honestly can’t complain about it but on the pricey side for sure so an 8/10. It was definitely packed out for the night so better to book in advance and the music might have been a bit too loud but nevertheless, a pleasant experience!
Y.
To be honest I had mixed emotions about this restaurant which I visited this week. The food was ok I’d definitely recommend trying the sushis here and the small plate tacos are delicious! However, the service was below average; don’t get me wrong the food came very quick and was all hot but there was no sense of privacy on a Tuesday night there were two couples basically arm to arm with us on the tables beside so as the website stated ‘tables will be separated due to covid’ did not mean a thing. The waitresses themselves were very blunt and maybe we just went on the wrong day but It was a nice experience I’d just never go again.

Want to eat with celebrities? Looking for a posh but affordable place to eat? Want good portion sizes? Looking for fresh authentic Italian food?
We got the set lunch menu in the Italian restaurant - THREE COURSES £26.00. Which one do you like best (1/2/3)? Comment below ⬇️
Before you go they ask you to send a picture of yourself so they can recognise you when you walk through the door.
While waiting for our food they gave us a cup of soup, bread and breadsticks; we made a bit of mess with the crumbs but the waiters came and cleared it with this metal crumb remover (#fancy).
Starter: TAGLIOLINI WITH SLOW COOKED TOMATO FROM GRANANO AND SHEEP RICOTTA
Main: TONNARELLI WITH VEAL RAGOUT
- This didnt look the best but tasted fantastic
Desert: TIRAMISU - no complaints at all, you have to try this!!!!
I would definitely go here again - this is the best service I have received so far! I was definitely full when I left. They try to make sure the food is as fresh as possible. They had a display of all the vegetables and fish; the colours were amazing. The restaurant is beautiful inside - there are trees in big plant pots, sky lights and candle chandeliers. Getting the set lunch menu meant it was really quiet when we went - I believe it gets quite busy in the evenings. Also Drake was dining in the private dining room next to us! Good Italian comfort food indeed.
Ratings out of 10:
- Taste: 9 👅
- Service: 10 🏆(I was happy to pay the 15% service charge)
- Price: 7

I went to Novikov for my birthday.
It is a luxurious restaurant which divided into two dining rooms, the Asian side and the Italian side. I went to the Asian side. Food was ok, nothing special, portions were pretty small. Quite a few dishes were halal.
The service was amazing, especially the attention to detail. Our waiter ‘Lorenzo’ was fabulous, his service was amazing (his singing skills pretty good as well).
I would definitely recommend Novikov but be prepared to pay the price.
F. A.
Novikov is one of the well known fine dining Russian restaurants in London .. where all famous people meet together,
The restaurant has two sections:
The Asian section is kind of a dark place that serve noodles or sushi but and a lot of people prefer it over the other section.
The Italian section is well lighted and decorated.. we had our dinner here started by the restaurant appetizer with some locally baked bread served with something similar like aubergine sauce
and we ordered the truffle pizza and was delicious with a crab pasta but it’s looked like Tuna Pasta
Also for drinks they have a variety of fresh juices alongside with soft drinks and we ordered a fresh pineapple 🍍 juice and it has a refreshing taste 🤤
S. H.
Amazing experience 😍 food was great and not like the other restaurants in Mayfair. They are generous and filling, couldn't be more happier! open kitchen with fresh ingredients 🦞 what more could you ask? Exceptional service and drinks 10/10 🍸
We had the Asian menu and was not disappointed, wide range of Halal Options 🤩 We loved the Sushi 🍣 check pictures below.
R. S.
Fantastic food, exceptional quality and excellent presentation. There's a good amount of variety in the menu too.
The only thing that was a let down was the service - it just wasn't up to standard on the level of personal service you expect from restaurants at this level, when you're paying this much.
S. I.
This place isn't that great. The food we ordered, some of the dishes were very tasteless such as the Baby Chicken, and the Beef and Black Pepper dish wasn't that good. The sushi was nice, but I've had better in places like Chai Wu. The baby squid was decent. The service was excellent and the food came very quickly. Mocktails are very expensive (£14) so we didn't order these. Most of the menu is Halal. But considering the price (£300 for 2), I dont think I'll be visiting again
I. H.
Made reservation to make sure we got a table in the pan Asian restaurant. They had halal food labelled on the menu. Ordered the chile fillet steak which was the best I had ever had. The tenderness, cut and taste were perfect. Sweet and sour Chicken with rice, shrimp and Dim Sum were tasty and complemented well as starters. Mocktails were as good as ones we had in Dubai. Service and atmosphere was great.
Yes it’s pricey but worth it as one-off for special occasion.
T.
All the dishes tasted fantastic. We’ll season and good portion especially when eating late. The hosts were quirky and made us feel very comfortable! The truffle chips were absolutely amazing! We had so much fun!
G. G.
It is a luxurious restaurant divided into two dining rooms. The Asian side cooking and the Italian side cooking. I had dinner in the Italian side and I enjoyed all the courses very much. It's like being in a restaurant in Rome or Milan. All the products are fresh, "Italian" and delicious. All the staff are very professional. It's necessary to go elegantly dressed, because you risk not entering. Prices are high but in the heart of London the reverse is impossible...
D. S.
Absolutely fantastic experience in the Italian section. The whole ambience made me feel like I was back in Italy. The service was very good and I loved how the staff would communicate between themselves in Italian. The food was delicious!! Would highly recommend the truffle fries
M. T. M.
One of the famous restaurant is london. There are 2 area of restaurants inside of the entrance. The decoration is festive and flower. The food quality is a lower than their price. The whole dover sole is still coming with the skin after they take of the bone. The service is also under their price. If you want to try this restaurant Don’t expect their service too much.
O. L.
Now, where do I start, absolutely wonderful experience dining at Novikov.
The restaurant has an Italian themed area, Pan Asian and Bar/lounge. We opted for the Italian and were immediately greeted by the hostess who kindly showed us to the table. They are very meticulous on ensuring complete satisfaction from taking coats and answering questions going above and beyond.
What’s also v.important to note, there are a large variety of dishes that are HALAL and clearly marked in the menu, the waiters are happy to reconfirm with the kitchen.
I tried the Salmon Tartare, risotto, corn fed chicken and panne cotta for dessert, could not fault any of the dishes other than asking if the portions could have been a little larger.
It’s not entirely cheap to be put it nicely and perhaps-reserved to special occasions only.
Will next time try the Asian style theme!
Z. F.
Elite customer service, all waiters were super attentive and made the dining experience superb. The selection of food is wide and diverse and we had a great time exploring the different dishes. Our favourites were the spiced chicken buns and the lamb cutlets.
S. D.
Been to restaurant yesturday. Had to wait a bit for the table even that we had booked time but its understanding. Staff were great, very friendly.
Space around the table were very small, felt uncomfortable, could not enjoy the atmosphere much simply could not move mu chair back feelt strangled. ( not enough space), to many people in small space.
Food. Presentation of the food was fine but not with wow effect. I dont know why but meat tacos were with so much salt, I felt like I am eating just salt. Dish of the day also had to much salt yuck. Few other dishes also. I just dont think it worth the price. There is so many different souces to keep it salty, why adding so much salt. I didnt really enjoy that much. It was first experience in this restaurant. Need to ask Ramsey to come and check them up. Also no side table for drinks, table small and felt like waiters rushing you to finish your food. First fish on a photo were great.best dish no salty great taste. Egg fried rice had to much of other staff in, so not everything is written match exactly what you imagined you will get.
Toilets were a bit dirty. Security people were helping chefs its a bit odd, plus they help write next to the toilet it's really odd.
Over all I dont think its a place I would go again, may try Italian cuisine there, maybe its better. I know few other lovely restaurants with Michelin star I would go there instead.
S. S.
Expensive, but worth the money. Food was exceptionally tasty & the staff went above and beyond to ensure out birthday outing was celebrated properly. We dined in the Italian restaurant and boy did it feel like Italy! Thank you to Mircas, our server, who made the stay a delight.
P. R.
Attended a project completion dinner which was fabulous!!! Great food and location. A1 standard of service. I was there on a Tuesday evening and it was very, very busy. The only thing I would say is if you're looking for a quiet dinner with some favourite people this probably isn't for you. Later on there was more of a club atmosphere.
N. C.
I love meeting with friends this place.Fancy food fresh and tasty😋Nice staffs and best service👍🏻We are so much fun!! Highly recommend👍🏻
H. S.
Great food and service in the Asian kitchen. Very pricey but worth the visit for a special occasion.
I. A.
Nice food, we went for lunch in the Italian section and had the set menu. Everything was very tasty however the restaurant was very quiet with only one other table apart from us. Maybe we'll try again in the evening for a more lively atmosphere.
J. S.
Asian side is my favourite.
Always a good buzz in the place.
Food is is constantly good.
Well worth heading to if your in Mayfair.
A.
If anyone is telling you Novikov is the best Asian cuisine they’ve had - they’re trying to mask the pain with the price they paid!
Unfortunately I took a video of the majority of the food so I don’t have many pics.
Wagyu tacos - awful
Prawn tempura + avocado sushi- very nice
Chicken (with black bean sauce) - average
Egg fried rice - very average
The vibes are nice, the settings are nice, but the food was painful. The sushi was fantastic, the rest was poor.
J. W.
I visited the Italian part of this restaurant and had a good time. The atmosphere was really great with friendly staff. Very pricey, but the menu was versatile and the food was good. The dessert however was the highlight of the night! I ordered the Rocher Hazelnut dessert - it tasted amazing and it might be the most delicious dessert I've ever tasted!
T.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we were politely greeted by the staff and shown to our table. The service here was extremely quick! The food here was excellent, you get what you pay for here!
I. H. H.
This restaurant from start to finish gives you an experience you will remember! I had sashimi, duck and prawn fried rice. The quality of the food is insane! Amazing presentation with good quality service! Would highly recommend for people to try this place!
E. C.
I love this place for drinks and dinner. Everyone knows Novikov at this point and the street becomes very vibrant. I have my new favourite coffee shop opposite and my favourite hair salon next door. As usual Novikov staff are polite and professional and the food is superb. Can recommend the restaurant highly.
B. S.
Good place, vibes and food
The shrimp tempura was oily and bad otherwise was good
S. F.
Although they made us waiting for a while (app. 15-20 mins) for our reserved table, the food and service were wonderful ❤️.
Thank you
H.
Probably the best Japanese cuisine experience I've ever had. Food was exceptionally nice. Really enjoyed everything especially the sushi, mocktails, steak and desserts.
Customer service was very good also, staff were very friendly and respectful. They are polite and check up on you regularly.
Food is halal and meat quality is good, very delicious. The sushi tasted amazing, looked and tasted like a lot of effort was made to make these.
Regarding price, it was quite pricey, our bill for 2 came out quite expensive. I'd definitely return for a special occasion only, but it is definitely worth it.
A. A.
Be ready to spend!!
Got lucky to get a table for 2 here before the ques started dramatically ...
The steak is soo soo good here with the pepper and mushroom sauce ..
Truffle pizza is amazing too , probably best dinner night out I’ve had in London . Luxury , good service and buzzing alllllllll week long .
Recommended for fine fine dining
£200 a couple easily
Updated review September 2021 .
They now focus on over booking and service is appalling if I’m honest , food has gone down hill too. A very average Italian restaurant with Italian waiters giving you attitude
M. F.
Very welcoming staff. Great food and a lovely atmosphere. You can tell the staff enjoy themselves at work which creates a good vibe all round. Enjoyed my time there.
O. C.
Amazing food and atmosphere! Definitely on the pricier side but is worth it! Sushi was great with the scallop roll being a highlight. Cocktails were great too with a good selection. Also good non sushi options too. Perfect for a treat yourself evening!
K. M.
A very pleasant experience and never been disappointed. Been going here for years. It's not cheap but worth the money. The staff are always friendly and helpful with recommendations.
s. P.
Novikov was great. Lovely service attention to detail. Ambience was nice. Would definitely recommend it but be prepared to pay the price. Overall though loved it👌🍸🍾
S. N.
Easily accessible by road and rail. This review is for Novikov Asian. Allegedly they have a strict dress code but maybe this is only enforced in the evening, I went for a late lunch and although I dressed up, I saw many diners in dirty trainers and jeans. The staff at the door had a bit of attitude and were a bit brusque but the staff at the table were lovely. Cocktails were very nice, both virgin and alcoholic were well presented and beautifully balanced. The food is a triumph! Delicious fresh seafood, seasoned just right and cooked to perfection. The vegetable Singapore Noodles were the best I've ever had. The star of the show for me was the Piña Colada cheesecake, I'd go back for that alone, every element was glorious from the tiny cubes of Malibu coconut jelly to the tart, exotic, fruity centre which complimented the creamy cheesecake. The biscuit base was crunchy and harmonised with all the other textures on the plate. Yes it is a wee bit on the pricey side but well worth it.
S. G.
Great atmosphere - amazing cocktails. They’ve used tonnes of science in the bar to enable loud music that doesn’t stop you from talking to and hearing each other.
The kind of place you want to be when you’re in London
R. B.
Came here for my birthday dinner. We asked the waiter a couple of questions about the menu as we were vegetarians and he didn't seem to know much. We then later realised he was trying to recommend something to us which wasn't vegetarian. Lovely restaurant aesthetically, but would not recommend for food and service
B.
Waiters were attentive but didn't smother. Great food and decent prices .
N. G.
Very nice place, me and my husband went to the Italian side and we loved everything! The orange juice 😍 the food and the malibu cheesecake was to die for! The staff were really nice especially the Italian gentleman! Overall we will definitely come back!
a. a.
Great atmosphere with average food.
Tried mushroom risotto and I don’t recommend it, very wired structure! See bass is really good
D. W.
Always an amazing atmosphere and meal. A must visit if you're ever in London.
A.
Asian side. Food is great, although a bit overpriced. Service is okay, but can be better. Host seemed a bit angry and the waiter mixed a few stuff. Great place if you miss Moscow: fancy people, huge area, open market. The bathrooms are not that fancy for the restaurant of this level. Will not be my favorite, more like “why not” list.
T. S.
Novikov never disappoints. One of my very favourite restaurants in London on a good night out. Professional staff, fabulous food and great atmosphere in a beautiful location. Interior design is most certainly captivating. 💯 recommend
A. Y.
Good food- not amazing for the price
The service is very annoying they give you a feeling that they want you to go as fast as they can.
We are not the type of people that stay more then 60 minutes 90 max an a restaurant - but they give you feeling that they want you to go away at the second you furnished main course and don’t dear to ask for dessert.
T. L.
the food was amazing , definitely recommend the duck salad , sushi and dim sum was good too ! my friend loved her Singapore noodles ! I given 4 due to the service could be a little better.. but one of the staff women was lovely that served our food.
E.
Best restaurant, highly recommended
Q. L.
Foods taste very good and atmosphere is excellent
J. F.
Loved it here, ambience was ok. The main was excellent. The deserts were nice. Cocktails were ok
Date:Sep 2020
F. E.
Very glam place. Staff all seemed pretty nice. Very expensive. Only had drinks not food but it was good. Overall a nice atmosphere. However would I pay thaaat much, i dont know. Apparently 6 tequila shots came to £80 but then this is a fancy place.
G. A.
Really nice restaurant with great quality food, very attentive staff who take care of you without raising a hand, always at your service, pleasant atmosphere with authentic Asian food, the menu has many halal offerings including duck and beef, the duck was covered to perfection, crispy and tender, some of the best I've ever had, unfortunately no images as I made a reel instead
e. c.
For a first time dining experience at Novikov it was definitely one like no other, the prawn Avocado sushi and the pekking duck was very delicious thanks to the excellent recommendation from our waitress Qaahirq who deserves for her excellent service, will definitely be returning soon.
ع. ا.
Truffle pizza was nice.
Margherita pizza was average because it had too much tomato sauce and it was wuite bland.
Peas risotto was not good at all.
Very nice Burratta cheese.
D. K.
We headed only for drinks at the lounge level. Also has restaurant which I have not tested yet. Friendly staff. Amazing DJ but sadly no on-demand music. Good ambience.
W. N.
Went there with my mate to see what the hype was all about and first impression the decor and atmosphere were really nice. We decided to go for the Asian menu rather than the Italian one. We were given a table opposite the market which was really nice especially when you see the staff picking up fresh produce like fresh lobsters , vegetables etc to take to the kitchen which was very reassuring knowing that you are being fed the best of produce.
We ordered an assortment of dishes to share and they were all delicious. The tempura prawns had the lightest batter and the prawns were soft and juicy. The sushi were the best we ever tasted. We had panacotta and profiteroles with vanilla sauce as desserts and they were really delicious. The service was really good. The menu is a bit pricey but it was really worth it given that you get fresh produce in all your dishes and top service. We will definitely go back there for another occasion like birthdays etc which is really worth it.
A. A.
Big fan of Italian cuisine. The pizza ,ravioli and grilled salmon were great.
S. B.
Went there for a business meal and I liked it. We had a set menu to share, truffle pasta was amazing! I was maybe expecting some more "frenchy" food as I found it more Italian but it might also have been the menu we had booked (so I cannot really complain about that!).
A. K.
Perfect place for a special occasion. Grand layout. Great service from waiter, and amazing food. Wagyu beef is is the best I've tasted.
P. G.
Oven baked camembert starter must take with red Marlo wine. A combination that is melting with divine taste of truffle. Enjoyed🍷🤗
1. N. V. T.
This is a lovely restaurant with great food, I am fortunate to come here to enjoy my client's dinner and regular dinners with my husband. It is very expensive but the food is excellent. My only small negative comment was that it felt like you were being rushed through your food so they could get to the next table.
A. A.
Delicious food in the Italian restaurant 👌🏻
A. A.
An excellent restaurant with good atmosphere. It's an expensive one however it was worth it. Very delicious food and good service. The only downside is the dessert. Not the greatest selections yet that my opinion. Definitely will visit again.
L. N.
Had no idea what to expect as a friend brought me here. Food certainly was good and the staff friendly and patient with us as the menu was huge and not very cohesive(too many options🥴)
It was a nice experience but it’s not for me. Wouldn’t mind going again though if I’m not paying😅
Come here if you like a versatile fusion restaurant with many different dishes, boujee atmosphere and willing to spend ££
N. L.
Really too busy for the current climate. Tables very close together. Felt really rushed, pushed to order. Really so loud that it was hard to hear soft voiced table staff. Food excellent, could nor fault it in any way. Prices ludicrous, bill for four, six cocktails, no wine, nearly £700.
J. P.
Has a nice ambience about the place with nice cocktails and food too.
I. C.
Delicious food and great suggestions by the nice waiter! (Asian cuisine)
Only management should stop staring and pointing fingers at customers, this did not give us a pleasant or welcoming feeling. 😒
We were not regulars, first timers because we live abroad. But our friend, who is a regular, brought us, he had to make an errand and joined us after again. The pointing, whispering and staring was not needed to be done 10 steps away from us.
Great service by the waiter and delicious food. (Asian cuisine)
A. P.
The food and drinks were quite pricey but everything was really top-class quality and the service was amazing. It was worth going there and the interior is amazing! I will definitely come back.
S.
It's such a shame we went for friends special birthday celebrations...for an exciting experience and we got far from that.....my friend asked for gluten free and was only offered veg??? Even though we were told Tofu was ok? We got our food at different times...and didnt eat together my food came in sporadic and when I finally got my main the rest of my food was cold??? Ky friend ended up eating only boiled rice and mixed veg....for around 80.00 per head...its autrocious we couldn't let her pay.....food was tasty though and dessert was also nice....cocktails too strong and too sweet....and not blended together properly?? Shame about the service...as ambience and atmosphere was good.....but very very disappointing especially if you are celebrating something special please dont bother to waste your money and time.....
A. W.
Delicious sushi and rock shrimp. The black cod came out a bit cold but it still tasted nice.
A. B.
Best sophisticated and managed environment so far! Very friendly staff! x
D. H. R. R.
Excellent food. Interesting environment, quite outlandish. A little noisy but not too intrusive. Nice to be able to walk downstairs for a livelier drink afterwards.
B. G.
They serve Asian Food (Chinese) and Italian Food in two different area in the restaurant. Reservation is recommended. Service are Good. Food taste are the best as far as i stay in London. The Roast Duck are great.
C. W.
As much as I love Italian food I was quite disappointed when going for dinner here. It is a well-known Restaurant in London filled with an array of high clientele to young adults, dressing up from head to toe and can spend without a care of the bank balance the next morning. My disappointment though came with the food. There was a whole presentation of the pasta I requested where the waiter put in a big tub of cheese. However, from waiting and watching this being mad, as soon as I took a bite of the food, it was cold. not pleasant and there was chunks of cheese around the plate. I may venture out again and give Novikov another go but i do wish to enjoy the food being hot as soon as it is placed on the table.
S. K.
This place is fantastic! Mainly because of the standard of food from the brilliant chefs and service from Alexander in the Asian restaurant. The vibe and ambience coupled with the outstanding food was mesmerising. Unfortunately the reservations department really let us down, hence why 4 stars and not 5. Some disgusting attitude and ego from Andreas who just wasn’t very understanding or accommodating.
M. F.
Very good Japanese food although extremely expensive but it goes with the territory - possibly too expensive if just going for the food but possibly justifiable if you want to oogle at the typical clientele . The service was mixed - our Chinese waitress was delightful but the thuggish looking wine waiter was surly and wouldn't even look at us when depositing the drinks on the table. I haven't tried the Italian menu nor do I think I ever will!
G. N.
Beautiful restaurant that gives a beautiful experience everything. A lovely place to entertain or treat a special person. But be warned, prices are very high...I guess you pay for the total experience that comes with. Be prepared to spend easily, 200 quid for two people with just a cocktail, starters and main.... But still, fab place to celebrate special moments.
After your meal, head down to the bar/club below. Really cool... If a tad extra loud, but nothing you can't bear with for a little while...
A. C.
Such an amazing experience I had at Novikov. It was the first time I ve tried this restaurant and i absolutely loved it. Food was super delicious, great ambiance and service. Will definitely go again. You should try it yourself.
S. S.
Amazing dim sum and sushi for the ones we were allowed to order and the roast duck was Wonderful. Went to celebrate my boyfriends 25th and he seemed to enjoy the food. The kimchi rice is enough for two to share - we couldn't finish it in the end sadly! Furthermore our waiter was very attentive, even though there was a lot happening at the same time - mostly of accidents by the restaurant goers around us.
However I have a mild allergy to hazelnuts so when they said some stuff may have nuts/peanuts I wasn't allowed to order it due to 'restaurant policy'. I understand the safety of their concern but I am okay with traces as well as any other type of nuts like peanuts so I was a little disappointed because I wanted to try the spicy prawn moneybags. Also, skip the dessert, the tiramisu was too strong and not light enough.
J. E.
This is an excellent location for a family-style gathering. To have a meal with friends and family. All of their plates are served family style, which means that all of the portions are served on one large serving plate and each person serves themselves as they would at home on a good old Sunday dinner.
K. A.
A lovely bar and decor with good music if not a little dated at times. Attracts that kind of crowd, but generally a busy bar/club and a good night can be had here.
K.
Excellent service and the food was amazing. Not the cheapest but 100% worth every penny the duck salad was amazing and the deserts were out of this world.
J. F.
Food was good, but the service not too good! I've been at Asian restaurant upstairs and the Italian restaurant downstairs. Between the two of them, I will definitely choose the Asian. Both parts are beautiful.
K.
The first time I came here was amazing and I loved the food. However, the second time disappointed me... Dumplings were not as good and tasty as even china town. Hakkasan has even better dumplings (I’m taking about chefs selection ones ). The foie gras dumplings are nice and extraordinary. Then I’ve tried to give a chance to duck and foie gras sushi which was not good at all!!! I’d say it’s for an extraordinary taste haha
Crab and avocado salad is really nice
So I think that some of the dishes are very very nice, tasty and their taste shows the freshness of products and their texture, whereas some of the dishes are strange and nothing special at all with alternatives found in simple and not posh places
Good to visit anyway
E. F.
Service amazing, money bags, miso chicken really good, Wagyu beef tacos not as nice as I thought it’d be but the star was the lamb chops, sensational
D. A. A. د. ع. ب. ح. ا.
Busy vibrant atmosphere. Italian and asian cuisine. Good food, friendly attentive staff. The crispy bread was tasty & original. Recommended dishes are : Crab avocado salad, spaghetti with clams and barogette and tagliatelle bolognese. Was too full to try their dessert but I sure think they would be something good.

One of the best restaurants London has to offer. Service can vary, as it does at all restaurants. However for my anniversary meal the service was impeccable, our table server was well acquainted with all the dishes we had questions regarding and advised according to our tastes, all staff were very friendly.
FYI: Online menus are not currently accurate. The in house menu has changed slightly with new additions which made choosing alot harder such as the addition of Laksa rather than my standard Tom Yum.
I was very impressed with the overall service and quality of food and would like to thank all staff at Novikov for helping to make my anniversary a special day.
M. K.
The food is amazing . The service is good but slow . But overall it was a great experience

Happy Spring Festival 2019 Year of Golden boar.
And by the way, it is the standard to pay service charges at Highend restaurant in London, you received excellent services right? I am Chinese as well, I don't agree with some comments here, it is nothing wrong to pay for the services, and they don't need to tell you in advance, it is clearly written on the menu and same as other high end restaurants
A.
Excellent atmosphere and great customer service, will definitely be coming back again. All members of staff were very friendly!!
M. M.
I went to the Italian for lunch and the food and service is good but I think it's too expensive in comparison to some of the fantastic restaurants nearby.
M. M.
Novikov is one of the finest restaurants in London. The service is great, the food is fabulous, the surroundings and atmosphere are amazing. There are two sections in Novikov, Italian and Asian. The great thing is that both the Asian and Italian sections accommodate dietary requirements. Whether Vegan, vegetarian or Halal!
Parking can be a little bit tricky, but the doormen can provide a valet service.
K. K.
Being an avid foodie and having a job that affords me the benefit of dining in some of the worlds finest eating establishments, it's always a pleasure to find somewhere that stands head and shoulders above the competition. Novikov is one such place, yes you have your Cipriani's (now C London), your Scalini's and your Signor Sassi's, but Novikov is just that much better! From the atmosphere to the decor, the service and the food, they seldom put a foot wrong. I would say I have tried almost all of the dishes on offer here and they have always been consistently excellent. A firm favourite of my Middle Eastern clients, during the summer months rarely a week goes by without me visiting at least once but I never tire of the place. If Italian food is your thing, do not settle for anything less. Equally, their Asian restaurant is in a league of its own.
Y. K.
Loved it and food was so nice.
Staff were very kind, lovely music.
E. H.
We were looked after Adrienne? A beautiful amazing wonderful attentive young lady . We had the best time thank you ,
D. B.
Amazing restaurant with the best food I think I've tried, the décor is beautiful with dim lighting in the evening to really set the mood. I will definitely be returning and can highly recommend coming here.
S. Z.
Pretty venue, customer service was 5star+!! Very attentive staff, warm and welcoming! Food was OK. Presentation was the best part of it! We ordered wagyu tacos, duck spring rolls, lamb chops, miso chicken and blackened cod.. was expecting the prices tbh, didn't feel the food matched what was being charged. The bar was booming though...
M. C.
Food: superb quality for price.
Recommended starter: (Italian) Salmon tartar.
All staff and hostesses are amazing, friendly and helpful. Including waiters, receptionists and starting with the lovely door staff
Made me a regular.
Thanks, x
A. A.
Great ambiance and delicious food (especially the sushi and the calamari )..
Novikov has gone to the top of my list among all the restaurants in London !! I will definitely come back very soon.
thanks to all the staff for the lovely welcoming and great service, keep it up...
T.
Been here a few times already - fantastic restaurant! Always amazing choice for food, which is executed extremely well.
However, it can be difficult getting your (or any, in fact) waiter’s attention, even if it’s not at all busy.
The bar downstairs is lively with great ambience. Nice selection of drinks and food.
V. K.
Always a good crowd. This time we were in the Asian room. Started with nice chutoro and uni. The cod was slightly chewy for my taste. I loved the dessert, highly recommend the green-tea creme-brulee.
R. G.
Loved it. Great, really fresh food. Ambience fantastic and great little club vibe bar downstairs for the later evening drinks
A. A.
Never enjoyed an Italian restaurant as I did here at Novikov. The staff especially Fabrizio made our experience even more special. We had burrata, fried prawns, spaghetti and grilled salmon then we finished with cappuccinos and tiramisu which were top class delicious!
B. J.
Not sure I'd visit any time soon given their alleged affiliation with Russia but the food is indeed very good
M. P.
The food is lovely, the service is great.. however now that they have removed a few halal steak options for example the wagyu beef sirloin. I won't be going there anymore.
R. B.
Tasty cocktails and a cool atmosphere. Staff were very welcoming
F. A.
The asian restaurant is great, not the first visit and hopefully will come back whenever in london. In fact, this is way better than the dubai branch. Service is always excellent. Highly recommended.
S. T.
Not bad overall is my first take on the experience we (5 people) had.
Asian food variations tasted ok but were expecting the next level but unfortunately did not get it.
Must try the Sea Food counter where you can grab pick of the day. These items are not on the menu so don't miss out.
We went there for my son's 25th birthday and the host was very welcoming and accommodate what we required.
As mentioned before food was okay but the price just does not justify eg a medium 🦞 Lobster elsewhere costs £60-£80s but here they charged us £237. Seafood items mainly come from Portugal.
Final thought FOOD was ok ATMOSPHERE great PRICE excessively high.
A. A.
The best place I've had sushi at, the wagyu tacos were unreal too! The chocolate fondant was out of this world also, and the service was absolutely amazing, thank you PING
a. h.
lovely ambiance, attentive staff and good food. On the pricey side, i'd recommend the sushi over the dim sum and I am a big fan of the complimentary crudites and dip.
F. A.
Great asian menu. Very busy book in advance. California sushi and spicy edamame were really delicious. Tuna tacos were amazing.
A. S.
First time visiting here and I loved it! Food was amazing and the staff are very friendly. The atomosphere was great too. I went here for my birthday and they gave a complimentary birthday cake with sparkles at the end of my dinner. Loved it, would recommend!
F. M.
Italian side. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly and lovely staff. The mocktails were really good and very well presented, lots of flavours that I haven't had elsewhere. There was a good selection of food, halal and gluten free options which was nice to see. The food was good but mine (corn fed whole baby chicken) was a little on the salty side. My husband's roast potatoes were also salty and he asked for a replacement which was also a bit on the salty side. Everything was beautifully presented again. We opted for the dessert platter which did not disappoint, plenty there for everyones tastes and the waiters even sang Happy birthday for our friend for whom the dinner was for. There is a minimum charge of £50 per head so be aware if you do go. It's worth a visit.
R.
Large upmarket restaurant. Service excellent. Food above average. SUPER expensive. 1 x veal STARTER £28. Two people £215 for two people.
Tip: Ask to see the penguins at the back for VIPS.
T. B.
People really friendly
Space really clean
But the music .. so loud really I didn’t enjoy the music.
Star super
S. A. K.
Bit pricey, but great food. Cant go wrong here.
F. B. M.
I had my early dinner at Asian section, booking is highly recommended here. I had King Crab, Wild King Crab Leg Gratinated Wasabi Cream, Crispy California Caviar Royal, Rock Shrimps, Baby Squid and the desert was Passionfruit with Mango Lava Pudding 👌 it’s pricey here, but highly recommend for once in awhile.
f. a.
Must order truffle pasta! It was good. The waiter was nice but one thing is that the restaurant ask to spend at least 50 £ per person!
E. K.
Nice food but overpriced hugely and the service is slightly annoying, a little too much attention sometimes - a lot of our conversations were interrupted
L. D.
Excellent service & Good food - you definitely pay for the food and high quality service!
N. H.
Food was great, service was great (very friendly staff) and a great atmosphere. I ordered the Shitake mushroom dumplings and vegetable Singapore noodles.
K.
Try the truffle pasta at the Italian and the jalapeño clams at the Asian .
N. A.
A lounge & two elegant dining rooms, Asian & Italian !! Go for the Asian ..
Don’t miss the Saudi Prawns Tempura 🇸🇦 !!
So noisy, busy & dark at night .. I would recommend going in the early evening !!
b. l.
It always is a pleasure to go here, we used to meet up monthly with a bunch a friends and change kitchens everytime .. I am a big fan of the Italian side, going back to my roots it feels like eating at my grands... yeah prices are up there but it is worth it every penny .. unfortunately I am not in London for minute but I be back soon, Novikov is in my top 5 of restaurants in London
Y.
Staff was very friendly and attentive, we went to the Italian restaurant and everything was so fresh. Highest quality of ingredients were used at all times, they were so kind to accommodate us even though we did not have a reservation.
P. W.
Taken as a guest. Best T bone steak ever. Expensive but brilliant.
H. A.
Good italian and asian food.
I prefer the italian.
T. D.
Been to both Asian & Italian rest:
- must go to Italian rest
- for italian: burata, lobster pasta & waguy steak
- for asian: shrimp tartar, chef dimsum set
- vibe is fun, service is very attentive and nice
m. g.
I love visiting however I wasn’t too impressed with my last visit. It was a quiet lunch and staff were lovely however food wasn’t as good as it had been previously
I. G.
We tried some cappuccino, mint tea and some sweets. It was good overall, but the behavior of waiters can be better.
L. V.
Absolutely best restaurant, amazing food, wine, atmosphere, staff. Very delicious. I prefer - Asia room.
c. r.
Amazing food , fantastic customer service nice vibe

Amazing food and great service even though the restaurant was full the food came fast and was delicious
C. K.
Novikov is an extremely interesting concept and has wonderful food and service. There is the Italian themed half of the restaurant as well as the Asian themed half. You have to try both : ) There is also an exquisite lounge on the bottom floor. Very fun and trendy place - highly recommended.
T. Y.
Great bar/restaurant with great atmosphere. Dim sums, tempura - lovely. Cocktails - nice too. Unfortunately, service - they try to rush you. We were there peak Saturday night 8pm; they just want a fast turnover. Go Thursday night, or Sunday lunch.
F. A.
Food was below expectation when compared to other Novikov's I've visited. Tables were placed very close together which didn't help improve the experience.
a. b.
The restaurant was amazing, Food was good, we has the Asian Restaurant reservations and nice customer service
S. S.
It’s a nice restaurant but it’s not my favourite it’s a bit overpriced and it’s more of a scene then food majority of people go there just to say that they’ve went….!!
R. G.
Amazing food. Great service. I would highly recommend
C. T.
A iconic London restaurant in the heart of Mayfair.
The restaurant has 3 levels:
Level 1 - Ground Floor (Asian): Asian fusion style food with a great selection of sushi, tempura, fish and meat dishes.
Level 2 - Downstairs (Italian): Although underground a great atmosphere with an amazing wine selection and a large Italian menu. The pastas are my personal favourite but the meat dishes are also great.
Level 3 - Basement (Lounge): Underground bar with comfortable seating. Not the best bar in the area and doesn’t compare to the quality of the restaurants.
Always book far in advance as both restaurant are always busy.
Expensive of course but you are paying for the atmosphere, service and the food. The Italian is my favourite!
R. S.
I’d highly recommend the risotto with fresh peas and pan fried scallops. One of the best risottos I’ve had! My friend ordered the wood oven chicken and absolutely loved it.
A lovely restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and beautiful decor, but all made that extra special with the service and attention given by Fabrizio.
I shall be returning very soon.
M. S.
One of the best Italian restaurants in London. Everything is super fresh and delicious. The atmosphere and the service is excellent.

Dined at the Novikov Italian tonight for a work social and truly a 5 star experience. Great food, first class service and amazing ambience

Definitely not cheap but it's worth it. Definitely recommend Cod fish!!!

I am the regular customer of Novikov Asia restaurant.
nice environment, good service. recommend dim sum lunch menu, amazing!
Z. L. R.
Really nice place to have something to eat . It is a bit expensive but it comes with the area. Staff were quiet friendly and helpful with questions about the menu and it is a family friendly place. I also saw going can get a doggy bag for your food.

Went here twice for lunch and the second lunch was for a birthday surprise for my siblings. Food was exceptional and beautiful as usual. The service was amazing and the surprise went really well. Thank you to the staff of Novikov!
K. M.
Amazing food! Worth it!
K. C.
Lovely food and drink selection. Everything was very expensive, unsurprisingly. We got a wagyu beef burger, and it was overdone which was a bit disappointing. That said, it still tasted good and the rock shrimp tempura was phenomenal! Also, the cocktails were delicious...
If you can splash the cash a bit, I would definitely recommend going. The staff are really lovely as well
C. R.
Very lovely ambience.
Great service, delicious food and dessert. Totally enjoyed my mojito. I highly recommend Novikov Restaurant, will surely be back.
A. “. A.
Always stop by when I’m in the area. Great food and drinks with a fun and trendy atmosphere. One of London’s best
M. M.
Excellent overall dining experience, high skilled and helpful staff. Must try : black cod. Highly recommend
G. T.
We went to the Asian part of the restaurant. Exceptional attentive service and great food that was served quickly as well. Nice vibe as well, and quite busy for a Tuesday night. Order off the menu or select from the market where they will cook your order to your liking. The A La Carte menu is very expansive with a wide selection of Japanese and Chinese influenced food as well as options between meat, seafood and vegetables. Minimum spend of £75 per person. Well worth a visit.
R.
Give it 3 stars due to the lack of knowledge out waiter had around the vegetarian and vegan menu. He thought a dish wasn't vegetarian because it had butter which didn't make sense to me so asked for the manager to explained the dish actually contained cow rennet which isn't vegetarian so not just was he wrong about why it wasn't vegetarian but if I had gone on his reason and ordered the dish I'd have eaten meat. I am a vegetarian so it's important to me that any restaurant I go to the waiters/waitresses know what they are serving. That aside the rest of the evening was good, wine was lovely but food was average. Wouldn't go again if I'm honest. It's a bit overrated for my liking.
N. K.
The food was lovely but somewhat overpriced, the service left a lot to be desired, I must say I was left underwhelmed by the experience of dining here.
Novikov has two sections, the Asian section and the Italian section, we dined as a group of 4 in the Asian section. There was an extensive menu and everything we ordered was great which seems to suggest a high level of quality in the kitchen. The sushi and dumplings were especially great. That said there is certainly a premium applied to the price as I've had just as good food elsewhere for cheaper.
This is more of a location for younger people, it felt as though the patrons on the night were a little bit of the poseur variety. The staff member who attended to our party was accommodating but wasn't overly welcoming and it felt as though they were slightly preoccupied with other things and was overly keen on getting us to order. We had to ask for more time twice!
In addition to this when we left we were advised by one member of staff to use the exit at the back but as we did so another member of staff told us that we shouldn't use that exit and was visibly annoyed when we told him that we were advised to!
More work required on the hospitality side of things.
My advice, if you like Japanese food go to the much higher quality Sake No Hana.
R. P.
Booked the Italian restaurant downstairs. Amazing food. Highly recommended.
P. N.
Good location, good venue, well presented, variety of dishes. Staff well presented and polite.
Although, I'm must say, make sure your wallet is full when visiting as menu can be very pricey
D. H.
Superb food and ambience. Staff pay lots of attention to the table even when busy. We ate in the Asian restaurant and as a vegetarian this is the best food pan Asian food I've experienced.

Tomohawk is a hit or miss, baby goat was better when it was served whole and not on a cold plate, truffle pizza is awesome in the Italian

Overpriced, not authentic Italian food

The lounge is nice , plays techno music
Not rn b or hip hop

The atmosphere in this place is just the perfect place for a nice evening. The food is a bit pricey but won't find a better tasting steak! Every staff is both helpful and very welcoming. There is a downstairs bar as well for after meal entertainment.
e. b.
Great food. Great ambient. We had asian and we were amazed.. didn't try itallian though.. club in the basement also ok
V. D.
Amazing Food and Exceptionally hospitable staff. Food is on the pricy side and don’t expect a generous portion on your plate. Tastewise all the flavour were there. The name itself Novikov with the Asian/Italian Fusion might confuse some people but it works perfectly together. You can chose from which culinary menu you prefer. A 13% VAT is added to the bill discretionary.
E. H.
Beautiful food and beautiful club. They've put a lot of effort into this place. I highly recommend the cocktails and the sushi.
K. G.
The most enjoyable experience you will have, the staff are excellent and the food is heavenly tasty.

Great selection of Italian wines too.
Service & wait staff are courteous & prompt.

Great atmosphere, the food is osum, prices are high, but worth the experience

Went for a few drinks so can't comment on the food. Nice place, good service too. Had a good evening and we were well looked after.

Simple and amazing food. Fresh ingredients that you can see displayed in the restaurant. Novikov has two restaurants inside one Italian and the other Asian kind of kitchen. If you are into fresh ingredients and simple quality food Novikov offers you a good alternative and enough players to choose.

Trendy always crowded and lowd restaurant. Food ok and asian is better than italian

Absolutely fabulous and the food was excellent service was great!!!

Amazing atmosphere in this lush bar/restaurant, I would definitely come back for food as we were only here for drinks. Lovely staff who made us feel so welcome and were really friendly.
T. P.
Cocktails and wine selection are excellent. Service is decent, but sometimes they seem to struggle with sheer volume of guests. The food at the Asian restaurant is exceptional almost without fail (the almost being that they seemed to fall down on the dessert aspect).
A. E.
Great atmosphere combined with tasty food and great desserts selections
L. D.
Amazing restaurant!! great food and good selection of wine. The Linguine w/ lobster is a must try!

Italian food was nice but the menu wasn't anything special

Delicious food, excellent choice of wines and very good service. A bit on the expensive side, but the atmosphere is very vibrant. Equally good for a night out with friends or for a family outing
D. D.
Pricey but amazing food and service! Recommend the duck salad and black cod.
A. O. B.
The food tastes so fresh. The baby calamari and black cod dumplings are beautiful. Do not leave without having the Mochi mix for dessert.
They have an open veg and fish market near the kitchen.
A. A.
Great restaurant . Service is five stars
Food is six stars
A. Š.
The chocolate fondant was incredible, I would rate it 10/10. Rock shrimp tempura was delicious, very soft texture. However, I didn't enjoy the miso cod and rice at all, that must be my personal preference because I have eaten black miso cod that was much more delicious elsewhere. Overall, not a bad experience.
j. e.
Great Italian food and fantastic service but £££££.
A. S.
Pretty but unnecessarily dark inside. Much nicer menu upstairs in the restaurant - as opposed to the bar lounge - but all of it is excessively overpriced for what you get. Tables are for 2 hours only and you have to finish your drinks standing in the middle of the room.

A must experience. Food and dessert are out class!!

Good food, Nice vibe, great for big gatherings. However, they tend to keep people waiting at the bar although there is a lot of empty tables, I guess it's some kind of strategy to state how popular they are lol

The most AMAZING night. Thank you to Marta who served us and made it so special, she was so attentive. A waiter recommended a delicious cocktail and all our other drinks were lovely.

NOVIKOV ITALIAN 15/12/20
Made reservation in advance and was shown to our table quickly with a smile and greetings from most of the staff. Glamorous setting with flowers on the table for show which were quickly removed as we sat down (4 people). Already looked at the menu before hand and was very happy with the brushetta anti pasti which. Crunchy bread and fresh tomatoes our table servant was kind and swift. Making good wine recommendations.Lovely cocktail also on recommendation. Was also very happy with our ribeye steak which came out medium rare and complimented nicely with the delicious caramelized onions. Moving on to i might have to say one of the best desserts I have had the Profiterolls were a delicious mix of the crunchy nut on the side with 3 relaxed soft textured filled profiterolls ONE TO TRY! amazing. Coming on to our coffees I heard our sommelier talking to our it must have been the floor manager that we had been there for a long time and that we should start moving a long quicker. Had to say something but did not get an apology. It was a busy night but when your spending more than half a grand on 4 people i think we should be allowed to take our time, Another thing with the service was I did not feel as if I was eating at the restaurant walking through to go to the bathroom. The table servers would walk past infront of you not say anything and generally did not get the curtesy that one would expect. Lovely food overall but i felt It was not so much of a boutique style restaurant but more of a "new money" glitzy show off restaurant. Still something special with some letdowns.
M. A.
Just exquisite food was everything really enjoyed it.
K. D.
Good quality drinks & fare, but lacks ambience

Nice environment and very pricy as you would expect for such location. However, the seafood we had was not very fresh unfortunately...

Amazing restaurant. Quite expensive but very good.
E. M.
I come here a lot, and solely because I love the ambiance as well as the drinks, and the service. The food however, is average as anything. It’s nothing special, the pasta dishes are just below average and the steak is way below average. Starters are decent, and desserts are nice. But who could go wrong with desserts? If you’re looking for great food as well as a great setting, try some place else. If it’s the latter then enjoy
A. N.
Went for a dinner with my best friend and we had an amazing time there. We ate at the Italian section of the restaurant and food was delicious. Beautiful environment and excellent customer service. Special thanks to Florin. Looking forward to coming back soon. Would definitely recommend!

Elegant atmosphere with excellent food and service,, spicy edimami, popcorn calamari and sushi are highly recommended as starters, wagyu beef (main dish) and for dessert don’t miss the banana crumble 👌🏻

I've always been to the bar downstairs and enjoyed most evenings there. I'd recommend it for a night out though bear in mind it's Mayfair

This is my 2nd visit to this restaurant. First visit we went to the Italian Restaurant and the food was AMAZING and the service was incredible. Tonight’s visit was in the Asian restaurant, the food absolutely delicious done to a high standard but the service was slightly disappointing and surprising. It felt like we were the missed ones. It took a while to order, waiter wasn’t too friendly. Food came quickly which was nice but we both felt like we got a cold shoulder from the waiter which wasn’t too nice hence why you’ve lost a star from me sadly.

Upstairs, Downstairs both have great food, with great atmosphere

Great place to dine out whatever day you choose. I love the food and the ambience and the very professional and friendly staff. Though they have an Italian restaurant in the same building, I always go for the Asian because I like food from that part of the world.

Fantastic restaurant. My wife and I went had lunch in the Asian room. It was exquisite. The food was cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were great. One of the best things about Novikov is that most of the meats are halal. As a Muslim, that's a huge bonus. Usually high end restaurants don't cater for halal meat eaters. Of course Novikov is expensive, but it is well worth it.

Gorgeous restaurant. Superb service. Classical Italian food. Big portions. STUNNING deserts. There's a Japanese restaurant as well. I chose Italian this time

Visited just for dessert, excellent upmarket place

Very good venue for a cocktail or a Japanese / Italian meal (I tried both at lunch time and dinner). Service is impeccable but sometime it felt a bit rushed. During the weekend (specially at night) it can be quite crowded and the atmosphere not very pleasant. At the Italian restaurant we had to ask the manager to lower the volume of the music because it was pretty much impossible to talk with the other people at the table. Other than that good place overall.

We had the 2/3 course lunch there on a Sunday and the experience was nice overall. Wish they had curated the set menu for vegetarians better. Tiramisu was delightful. Nice and chic yet relaxed vibe, we had a 2-3 hour meal and would say its best you came here without a hurry to leave.

This restaurant is overrated. The food is okay, typical European cuisine, nothing special.

We come to London often and Novikov is always one of our mandatory stops just because my wife loves their dumplings. I was curious to see how the businesses are operating post pandemic and I can say the food and the service are as good as I remembered.
Our waiter was amazing, very attentive!
N. L.
Love the food here and have been several times however on Saturday took a few friends out and although the food was spot on, I was unable to order the duck a second time round for one of our late arrivals. The service felt very rushed which I can understand as they were busy however if u gonna have the audacity to rush me at least make sure I don’t have to ask for everything more than once. The only time I have not left a tip in any restaurant in all my life. Not happy

Went here for 10 year anniversary. Excellent food and service. Would highly recommend the Sushi here.

Trashy people. Average food, lousy service

The best restaurant if not the UK. No fancy takes or Western influences, just pure authentic food. Closest to the flavours of actual food although some dishes are a bit sweet to cater to Western palates. Service is friendly and atmosphere relaxed.
A. C.
The atmosphere is glitzy and epitomises London Mayfair. Thursday nights are the best. Don't go there to save a penny. Noisy, glamorous and fun. Service is efficient and fast. Do not expect a warm service though.

I went here for a friends birthday and honestly had amazing food! Also took my husband and step kids here to celebrate my husbands birthday and again an enjoyable experience. I was heavily pregnant the second and the portions were still nice.

Always a good ambience and atmosphere.
One of the better places in Mayfair!

The food tastes so fresh. The baby calamari and black cod dumplings are beautiful. Do not leave without having the Mochi mix for dessert.
They have an open veg and fish market near the kitchen.

I love the Pan Asian menu here, the Black Cod rolls are Divine, and the Thai Chicken Dumplings are my favourite ❤

Absolutely delicious food in the Italian area. The atmosphere is rather unique, great service.

Fabulous food in the Asian restaurant. If your name is not on the List you're not getting in so make sure you make a reservation a good few days in advance. Because it's so busy there is a tendency to book you into start and finish time slots so if you turn up late you are likely to feel hurried. If you can avoid the busy hours you will have a more relaxed time. Everything on the menu was fabulous.
Highly Recommended!!
B. O.
Loved the ambience, the vibe, display and the energy of the servers. We asked the waiter to make recommendations and he ended up flooding our table with way too much food. Most of the meals tasted the same to me. The Sake (rice wine) was great.
M. B.
Best upscale Asian food in London. It’s pricey but it’s worth every penny. I can eat there every day and never get bored!
I prefer lunches at weekends when the atmosphere and crowd is more relaxed.
K. R. M.
The food here is amazing. The restaurant is quite crowded, so it's worth making a reservation in advance. Otherwise, there may be a problem with the table. A visit outside of peak hours is more relaxing. Everything on the menu was great, especially the seafood. Desserts were also on the point. Service is professional. We will definitely return here during our next visit to the area.
Q. Z.
Good quality but definitely not worth the price. Service was just OK for what you pay for. I was waiting to have my wine poured. I am totally good with selfserving but this place wont let you do that and dont pay attention when your glass is already empty
N. E.
Delicious food and nice atmosphere
M. K.
Maybe I just got very unclucky, but the staff seemed really sloppy.
Someone dropped a whole load of plates, which was the first thing. But then as I was leaving I saw a waiter rushing and tripped at the strairs dropping pizza on the floor. The staff that look after the tables/customers, were friendly and helpful.
The food was great quality, butthe taste was good for some dishes, but too salty for others. Overall an ok experience, but not what I was expecting.
N. L.
Hands down the best restaurant I’ve been to in London. Perfectly assembled dishes with combined flavors. There are two parts to the restaurant. One is Italian and the other is Asian. Both are wonderful in their unique ways. Staff is very mindful to those with allergies which is great and the servise is great also. I recommend it to anyone who loves good food and trying sonething new
S. &. L. D.
I’ve only eaten at the Italian about 3 times, it was brilliantly excellent on all 3 occasions. I would give the lunch time 5 stars, only because the evening feels a bit rushed, they want you in and out in 2 hours which I find annoying, especially when you can spend anywhere up to £600 for two, depending on the wine you order. Lunch time is nice and relaxed but the quality of the ingredients are second to none and cooked to perfection both lunch and dinner. The service is excellent too.
A. K.
We've had four meals here this week and on all occasions it was fabulous. In fact we went there for a Hen Do because we had such a great time there earlier in the week. Everything was so well thought out. The food and drinks service, price and cleanliness was outstanding. ❤️

You have to try this restaurant. Quite pricey but you get what you pay for. The service you receive is excellent and the food here too is lovely. Definitely try their seabass fillet!
R. B.
Great food, really wish they waiter didn't rush us on ordering as we were barely ordering appetizers and wanted to order entrees at the same time, majority of our group didn't get to order entrees before being told we had to close our tab and finish up in the lounge. I still recommend this place as the food & drinks were good, just hope the server was having an off day.
N. P.
Brilliant service and fantastic food and wine! Would definitely recommend

I've been eating here since 2015 and I am still in love to this date. The food, service and atmosphere are always top tier.

I celebrated my birthday last night at the Asian restaurant and the way I and my family was treated was just lovely.
The hospitality and treatment was an experience, very warm and friendly staff. I really impressed with the service and staffs passion for their job, one lady almost seemed like a on call nanny the way she helped my little cousin cut her food in her plate and also placed the napkin on her lap.
It was the first I and my family had received a service as such. The food is quite pricey but worth it and did fill us up. No issue at all even though we was worrying going here but it was wonderful. First impressions is very important thank you for such a special birthday.

The restaurant was very enjoyable evening for my birthday meal. The decor and environment is very nice and vibrant. Staff were very good from the point of entry to the end of the meal. I dined in the Asian section and it was fantastic. The sushi was very high quality and tasted on point. The mains were very good with good amount of food for what you pay for. There were a lot of different options and very easy to look for diet specific food e.g halal and nut allergies etc. It was a nice night and was able to enjoy the meal in comfort and leaving very full. Only issues would be finding parking if you drive there otherwise it's not too hard to find.
A. S.
We always make a point of having a meal here when in London. Always at the Oriental part upstairs. Great dim sum, crispy squid, Peking duck and all their seafood dishes. Good selection of wines and the service is impeccable. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for, and we have never been disappointed here.

Food was nice and tasty, staff was helpful an polite

Generally good food. A bIt more expense than worthwhile for the quality. Music went up and got quite hip as the evening wore on. They made one of our party remove his baseball cap, which was amusing.
Would have been 4 starts but the staff was overly interested turning the table. Constantly clearing plates, often before they were finished. Overall we felt rushed.

One of my favourite restaurants

Farewell lunch at the Italian with my company and it was wonderful. The food is very good, the setting was stunning as it was close to Christmas. The service needs improvement. If you are looking for a restaurant that can accommodate a big party then you want to go there.

I've heard the Asian Novikov is better tasting (and more expensive). I dined at the Italian side. The steak is really good and well cooked. I found one of the beer starters and main pasta that i ordered very medicore. But I definitely recommend the steak. Good service. The bar downstairs is lovely, too!

Food was nice but got our vehicle burgled outside. Be vigilant when you park make sure your doors lock

Amazing place. Everything is delicious. I tried there spicy tuna roll and it was so good that I had to order another plate. Lot of option with variety of fish. I had grilled prawn that was out of the world. Truly an amazing edperiende. The staff is very friendly and helpful also.

Make sure you are on time, not early nor late. If you are early, your 2 hour reservation starts when you arrive. If you are late, your 2 hours have started already... Lucky I was early but unluckily they are too good at sucking the enthusiasm out of you with small things. Also make sure you know what you want cuz your waiter is not going to give you time to decide. You will be disturbed multiple times to get your order taken. Other then these, great wine selection, nice menu and fine food...

Went here last night to Asian area and was good. Tacos are amazing as is the sushi and sashimi and prawn moneybags. Mains were not as good - black cod was overcooked and lamb chops were very salty. Aubergine dish was also too sweet. Would stick to the starters and smaller dishes as they are really good. Drinks wise ordered a cocktail in the lounge and ordered the same in the restaurant which came in a much smaller glass? Be prepared to work up a bill with the prices. Service was OK
S. R. C.
Superlative in every sense.
Sensational quality, flavours and service.
Every dish and course an unexpected delight; superb.
The wine list is very extensive indeed.
Too many dishes to recommend.
The level of service; top level professionalism.

Awesome food, specially the dim sum!
