Novikov Restaurant & Bar in City of London, Westminster

What an introduction to top notch asian cuisine... In London at the Novikov Restaurant! Absolutely loved it :) What an experience, highly recommended!

Highly recommended restaurant. angela is an angel. So gentle. And the guy Tunisian guy is sooo professional.

Yummy, but I didn't like the point when we refused to pay the service charge. She argued with us for half an hour and stood over our heads, enumerating the beauty of the place and how we had a great time and in the end, we didn't pay! She made me feel like we weren't going to pay for the order and what's up 😰😂

Great services Especially Mauro very respectful and great service

An experience I will never repeat, honestly. I tried Italian food, but I didn't like it and it has nothing to do with Italian.

If someone needs to pamper themselves, let them spend their money and come to the restaurant. The food, service, and atmosphere are amazing.

Big noisy place. Tables very close together. The best steak I have ever eaten. Superb and tasty sushi with caviar. Singapore noodles were terrible. Great service from bouncers to hatcheck to wait staff. Better if someone else is paying.

Beef carpaccio , first beef steak tagliatta , truffle pizza, veal milanaise

Great food, service and atmosphere!

Very delicious food and great atmosphere🤩👍🏼

Angela has been the best with us tonight. She’s the best server here. If u have her serving for your table then just know she will take care of everything.

Not the best Italian food, but worth a visit

I usually don’t review restaurants, but Novikov (Asian) was a mess. Service was painfully slow—our edamame (a starter) came last, my drink arrived right before we paid, and trying to get a waiter felt impossible. Sushi was overly fishy with thick raw cuts—my sushi-loving friend was disgusted. Worst part? They gave us the wrong bill, then followed us around to fix it—why not double-check before handing it over? Totally unprofessional. The Italian side is way better. This felt chaotic and not worth the time or money.

Excellent food and excellent service. Staff were really attentive and helpful.

This restaurant in the Mayfair district of London is a place that has nothing to do with its appearance from the outside. There's a whole different world inside 3 floors, each floor a different concept We preferred Italian cuisine I ate tobacco and mushroom pizza and it was the best I have ever eaten in the world. Other friends tried salmon, chicken, meat etc. and they were also very pleased. You can enter here with a reservation. Welcoming, service, everything was top notch

Angelina is so nice and helpfull food is delicious

I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing both Asian and Italian dining at Novikov, and while both are excellent, the Italian side is definitely my favourite. The atmosphere is sophisticated and lively, making it the perfect place for socialising and enjoying a memorable evening. Whether it’s for a special occasion or simply to enjoy exceptional food, Novikov’s Italian restaurant has become our go-to spot.

Prawn money bags, salmon teriyaki, prawn fried rice , duck fried rice and crispy salmon cheese roll were lovely. The sweet and sour chicken was very strong not the best. The mocktails and fresh juice were very nice.

Amazing place! Fantastic food and service. We were at the Italien restaurant. It was expensive we spend around 800£ for five persons. But the food had such a high quality. My favorite was the wagyu steak and the Lobster Linguine. Wine pairing was good.

Definitely i’ll be back, great time and food

I had a wonderful experience at Novikov! Angela provides exceptional service — she’s warm, attentive, and always remembers my gluten-free requirements, which makes me feel genuinely cared for. The staff overall are professional and welcoming, and the food is consistently excellent. Highly recommend for both the atmosphere and the top-tier service!

We went to the Asian side of the restaurant. Even though we are vegetarian we absolutely loved the food. The entire experience was amazing.

5 star resturant, very tasty Asia & Italian food,donr miss this resturant out while your in london.

Amazing Asian and Italian food.

We came here for my wife's birthday, we’ve been coming here together for 8 years. Angela was amazing and made for a great experience, thank you so much

Excellent service from Francesco! Very polite, attentive, and professional. Made our dining experience even better.

Super luxury place, amazing setup, tasty food, and friendly staff A+++

We had the pleasure of being served by Angela at Novikov, and she was absolutely exceptional. Attentive, professional, and genuinely warm, she made our dining experience seamless and enjoyable from start to finish. Her recommendations were spot on, and she handled everything with grace and efficiency. Angela truly elevates the service at Novikov — a real asset to the team.

Excellent service from Angela! She made us feel very welcome and was very warm. She has an eagle eye and anticipated our every need. Absolutely world class service, thank you for a lovely evening!

Terrible, I was poorly served, the food was bad. And they gave me a terrible congratulations

Beautiful and elegant, Asian or Italian

Lovely food and service! Sushi is great, but be specific with that you order, it can be a bit greasy. The music was super loud like in a club,we asked twice to lower the volume but they only lowered it 2 percent. That was the most annoying part. Other than the super loud ear breaking music, food and service is great. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Mi amigo me invitó a almorzar en el lado asiático de este restaurante. La comida era buena, pero el servicio era demasiado lento! se tarda más de hora y media para obtener toda la comida!

Either you order from the asian or the italian restaurant, the food is amazing. This restaurant is always a good choice and will never disappoint. A little advice ; if you want a party-ish, fun and music vibes book at the asian restaurant, and if you want a calm and cosy dinner book at the italian one.

Angela was incredibly friendly and attentive — she made our dining experience extra special. Highly recommend this place!

Perfect, one of best places i ever had the pleasure of eating.

Angela was so good. I enjoyed her taking care of me and my friends at the Restaurants. 5star

Terrible for vegans and the food was bland, it felt like a machine in there with all the bells and whistles for a great experience yet missing the main part. No love for the food unfortunately. Nothing abhorrently wrong but will be quickly forgotten

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. I’ve come here a lot over the past few years and the staff have always been accommodating for my halal requirements. The food has always come out fresh and quick too despite how busy they always are. Although, it is pricy compared to the rest of Berkeley square, you get what you pay for and that’s why I come back. Credit to the hostess too, she’s amazing

My girlfriend and I sampled the new Easter Menu by Pierre Marcolini and we were not disappointed. Angela who looked after us was phenomenal. Would 100% recommend for an early Saturday lunch.

Angela should be the boss of the Italian restaurant. She’s the best

Angela made a great time for us! Everything was great

Food was incredible!!! We asked the waiter to curate the dinner and he send the most incredible mix of food.

Angela was great very attentive. Great service !

Really great restaurant. Angela was amazing with us.

Really nice place, nice service and made you feel welcome from the start.

I visited Novikov Restaurant - Asian branch, and it was a disappointing experience. The prices are hugely overrated compared to the quality of the food. For example, only £167 was charged for “Gilt-head Bream” sea bass! The food is very ordinary and does not justify the cost at all, neither in terms of taste nor presentation. I paid over £320 for two people for a meal that wasn't worth half that amount, and the service wasn't exceptional even though a 14.5% service charge was automatically added. Only £40 service fee 🤣 I will not repeat the visit and do not recommend it to anyone looking for an experience worth the price paid. I visited Novikov – Asian Room, and it was a disappointing experience. The prices are extremely overpriced compared to the quality of the food. For example, they charged £167 just for a Gilt-head Bream — basically a sea bass! The food was very average and definitely didn’t justify the cost, neither in taste nor in presentation. I paid over £320 for two people on a meal that wasn’t worth even half that amount, and the service wasn’t impressive at all — despite automatically adding a 14.5% service charge. Just the service charge alone was £40 — ridiculous! I won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a dining experience that’s actually worth the money.

The Asian part is one of my favourite restaurants in London. The duck salad is a must try and I get it and finish it every time I go. The sushi is great. Another staple is the wagyu tacos, which are a few mini finger tacos. The only thing about the Asian section which is different to the Italian and doesn't please much is how crowded and loud it is. There are a lot of tables, all of them full, and there are loud people, loud music, and few waiters for a large amount of people. Overall, I love this restaurant, but it has its cons (as does everything).

Very delicious Italian section soo yummmmme

Always great to visit Novikov at lunch time. The atmosphere is very relaxing. Angela is a great host and delivers great costumer service. Excellent food. One of my favourite places in Mayfair

Angela was amazinng!! best service ever and the food is fantastic 10/10 recommend

They unethically display a king crab in a minuscule aquarium. RSPCA needs to pay them a visit.

Halal Dim Sum 🥟 lovely. Pricey but exquisitely delicious.

Wonderful steak, but I have nuts allergy and I told them before I reserved. Unfortunately, when I came they told me that most of the food contained trays of nuts. I wouldn’t reserved if I knew that information. I couldn’t enjoy the variety of choices.

The place has great food, but that does not compensate for the condescending and selective service you get reminding of Moscow gastro scene, which is probably one of the reasons why Russians like going there

It would be good if the tables against the wall stood vertically to the wall, so that those who sat there would not look at the wall, at this expense they could take care of the clients and not apply bad traditions - the more tables, the more money.

lovely place , families and couples too , expensive but you can see why when you get there . book in advanced and dress well .

I went with my friends and it was good. Food was great. Everything was good but was too dark for my liking. Couldn't get 1 decent picture lol. Personal preference, i like seeing my food when i eat. Service was good. Deco was great.

Great place to dine! Service was top notch

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An exceptional dining experience at Novikov – Pan Asian Cuisine in London! From the moment we stepped in, we were captivated by the chic ambiance, the stunning interior, and the vibrant open kitchen, where chefs crafted each dish with precision. The service was flawless—attentive, knowledgeable, and ensuring every detail was perfect. The staff was happy to recommend dishes and pairings, making the experience even more enjoyable. We got fresh coconut water and my favorite drink- pomegranate ginger juice Now, onto the star of the show – the food! Every dish was an explosion of flavors, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. Here are some of the highlights from our meal: Quail eggs, wagyu beef soiders,yellow tail carpaccio, tuna carpaccio, crab leg, Besudes the other things we ordered as follows-: 🍣 Sushi & Sashimi Platter – The freshest cuts of tuna, salmon, and yellowtail, delicately sliced and served with premium wasabi and soy sauce. The presentation was stunning, and the flavors were just as impressive. 🐠 Miso Black Cod – A must-try signature dish! The cod was buttery soft, perfectly caramelized, and infused with rich miso flavors, melting effortlessly with every bite. 🥟 Dim Sum Selection – A delightful mix of truffle mushroom dumplings, wagyu beef gyoza, and prawn & scallop shumai—each bite was packed with fresh, well-balanced flavors. 🔥 Crispy Aromatic Duck – Served with warm pancakes, hoisin sauce, cucumber, and scallions, this dish was crispy on the outside yet incredibly tender inside. 🍜 Wagyu Beef Stir-Fry – Cooked to perfection, with tender slices of wagyu beef tossed in a fragrant garlic-soy sauce, served with seasonal greens. 🍛 Thai Green Curry with King Prawns – A rich, creamy coconut-based curry with just the right level of spice, served with fragrant jasmine rice—comfort food at its finest! 🥭 Mango Sticky Rice – A sweet ending to a perfect meal, featuring perfectly ripe mango, creamy coconut sauce, and warm glutinous rice. Everything was flawlessly executed, from the quality of the ingredients to the exquisite plating. Novikov never disappoints! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious Pan-Asian dining experience in London. Will definitely be coming back! #NovikovLondon #FineDining #PanAsianPerfection #FoodieHeaven #LuxuryDining #MisoBlackCod #SushiLovers

I recently celebrated my birthday at Novikov in Mayfair with my sister, and while the experience had its highs, there were definitely some aspects that didn't quite live up to expectations. Let's start with the positives—service. The staff at Novikov were absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, they were attentive, polite, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The service alone truly elevated the experience and made us feel welcomed and cared for. However, when it comes to the food, I was a bit underwhelmed. I found that several dishes lacked flavor and really needed a little extra seasoning—salt in particular. It was disappointing, especially considering the reputation the restaurant holds. While the presentation was lovely, the food didn’t quite hit the mark for me. In terms of value, Novikov definitely feels overpriced, likely due to its prime Mayfair location. I understand the appeal of dining in such a sought-after area, but for the price, I expected more from both the food and the overall atmosphere. Speaking of atmosphere, I felt that the ambiance could have been a bit livelier—while the space itself is chic and upscale, the vibe felt a bit too subdued for a celebratory occasion. Overall, while the service was remarkable, I don’t think the food or overall experience justified the steep price tag. It was a fine dining experience, but not one I’d rush to repeat.

Great location food and service 👌

Comida increíble servicio increíble Ioneca fue increíble Realmente disfruté de mi experiencia aquí y voy a volver 100% seguro

Excelente comida, servicio increíble y súper profesional de Angela esta noche, y todo. el equipo. Preciosa venu para celebrar nuestro hijo especial 21 cumpleaños callejero

Amazing time at Novikov!!! Especially service with the best girl at our table : ANGELA!!

Tuvimos un tiempo encantador visitando Novikov, celebrando nuestro aniversario. Sin embargo, cuando nos preparamos para ir no fuimos capaces de tomar un taxi desde fuera del restaurante, a pesar de que había una parada de taxis justo fuera. ¿Aparentemente los taxis no pueden esperar allí? Es muy decepcionante que no pudimos tomar el transporte de nuestra elección. Terminamos teniendo que caminar hasta Piccadilly para tomar un taxi. No muy bien en tacones. Una pena que, al final de nuestra hermosa noche, se viera manchada por un arreglo tan tonto. Por favor, ¿podría abordarse?

Food was average service poor, but people seemed happy to be ripped off

Just fantastic food.. service.. ambience.

Ruido, mal servicio, caro, vulgar. El portero estaba hablando en un taxista cuando llegamos. No tiene buena pinta, no es una buena experiencia.

Happened to be there after the west end show on Fir eve , full of indecent girls, never will come back ever again! Like never ever! Avoid it! Paid £52 ish for two glasses of champagne , when asked for olives /some nuts - the answer forge - form a barman and go ask the waiter! What waiter?! Terrible place ! Never again! Honestly please avoid unless you need to hook up amber indicent

It was a nice experience The service was excellent thank you ..jialin 🌻

Very expensive for what it is; when half empty it is quote lacking in atmosphere

Good atmosphere, delicious food, excellent service.

I visited Novikov for their set lunch time menu. The food was fresh and served in an orderly time manner. The staff were welcoming and friendly. A great place to dine with friends and family.

The food is really good. However, I’m not satisfied with service. They didn’t ask if I had any allergies and I ended up with a fish pasta (I’m allergic to fish) as they’ve made a mistake. Also, there were many other mistakes, but there are only a few other guests at the restaurant at this time. So disappointing:(

At the entrance, the security guard behaved very rudely and unfriendly, which ruined the rest of the mood. Before entering the restaurant, I was asked to take off my cap, I said okay, I’ll do it, I go into the lobby, tell the hostess about my reservation and tell her that I want to hand over my jacket and cap to the cloakroom, and at that moment the security guard comes up again and says you need to take off your cap and in a very rude manner. I said that I was waiting for the cloakroom employee to give me my things and that I understood the information the first time. They talked to me like I was an unworthy person. It was terribly humiliating. Further, the waiter was extremely unhappy that he had to serve us, and then completely stopped coming to our table. Thanks to the red-haired waitress who was very friendly and polite to us. The evening was not a success. I do not recommend visiting the restaurant.

Loved the food! Everything we ate tasted great and have been back a few times. . On the pricey side buts its Mayfair so to be expected.

My boyfriend and I went last night to have a late Valentine’s dinner and we had such a bad experience. The waitress “or assistant manager 😏 Bee / Pee probably using a nickname” was taking our order. The order was wrong and on top of it she was so rude. We ordered some sushi where the seaweed was so hard and chewy and the whole Gilt bream head that we ordered end up being silver bream and on the bill put as besugo. My boyfriend was paying and I just asked for the bill to check something and saw that. When we ask the waitress she said that it’s the same price 🤔So she served us silver but charged us the price of the besugo btw is not the same price. When we asked how many grams was the fish she arrogantly said 800 grams. I am a fun of fish and been pescatarian for 2 years before and I know what 800 grams fish looks like. And the cherry on top of the cake was when she told my boyfriend that “WHAT U EXPECT “ like we never been to a restaurant in Mayfair and we can’t afford, very disrespectful. In fact we just been to your Italian one few months ago and it’s a huge difference between the two of you. Such a bad experience and low quality customer service from some of the staff. Will never go again even if it’s free. Just the name not what we customers expected, extremely disappointed.

An upscale restaurant. I tried Italian food. It was very delicious and varied

The service is bad, and when I asked to cancel the service fees, the employee got angry and added other fees and forced me to pay them.

Beautiful place and delicious food! Tasty steak, especially the wagyu. Very happy they have a halal wagyu. The best thing about our experience was our server Angela who made very good recommendations and was very friendly and helpful! They made a very special assortment of desserts for my birthday. Delightful. Totally recommended..

I ordered a delicious burrata salad...and a fantastic truffle pizza...the risotto was less than normal and the squash soup was not good at all. I made it for my birthday, a special day for me at Novikov🥹❤️

I cannot wait to visit again the food is 10/10 and the food is very well priced. The staff is professional and always make you feel special

still food is good after years of services

Amazing place,very beautiful. The Staff was really nice. I was blown away by the amazing market, very well presented and organized. Really enjoyed the tume i spend there. Definitely comming back👌🏾😊

Me and my partner had a lovely time. The food was amazing as well as the atmosphere. We were in the Italian restaurant, where you can have a nice and easy-going dinner. The Asian part looks more party-ish, but we will definitely visit it as well. We had a drink in the underground bar which had astonishing cocktails.

The restaurant is nice but bar is over-crowded and not a good scene to chill n relax.

We tried the Italian section. The service was very bad. The one who took the order talked to us forcefully and had no temper. The waiter is an Italian who likes to talk and be annoying. Because we did not give him a lot of face, he began to pick up the dishes and throw them on the table and would not bring us and even left the bill, putting it on the side of the table!! His treatment is very bad and clearly racist And the food is very normal

Had dinner 3 days ago, great food and service from Sergey. Thanks you!

Good vibes, the waiter was very polite and the food was delicious.

Came to novikov Asia for the first time and left with mixed feelings, the starters were great (sushi and tempura shrimp) however we did not enjoy our mains, we had 2 types of chicken dishes and they were very tough and chewy, however drinks and desserts were ok..

Amazing food Exellent service This pasta was unforgetble!

Very quiet in the restaurant but still had to chase up the food which then arrived after 40 minutes and in a rush. No explanation offered, or compensation for being so late

Disappointing Service at Novikov I recently visited Novikov and was extremely disappointed with the service. Our waiter, Mauro, was incredibly rude and unprofessional throughout the evening, which completely ruined the dining experience. For a restaurant of this caliber, I expected much better hospitality. The food was great, but the service needs serious improvement.

They forgot the wine glasses for half of the table. Forgot about my main dish. They promised our table of 10 limoncellos, only received 3. Atmosphere 5 stars for the ladies downstairs.

Thank you to Angela for the best warm customer service. Very well explained the menu, good recommendation, very friendly service. Thank you Angela and the Novikov team. Will visit again.

Thank you Angela for the best service

Very good restaurant, Angela was great!

I mean, it is managed incredibly amateurishly, the food never comes, you have to constantly ask for the drinks to come, it definitely does not deserve this money. This service does not suit the brand at all, they ruined my night.

Staff were pretentious and rude whilst the food was of pub quality. And even after we complained the staff didn’t care. The worst “fine dining” experience one can have. Sad it happened on Valentine’s Day. First and last time
