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

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

Trading with a trusted account manager is what can make your dreams come through. For me Sandra Billy has the best trading strategies to win. I never believed on any post recommending online trading until I gave a try and the outcome was great for me. Making $6750 out of $1000 was a whole lot of profit for me.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

@arkadynovikov has created one of the biggest Russian Empires since Catherine the Great. London was conquered first in 2012 with his namesake restaurant there, attracting the rich and the beautiful ever since. (Informal) valet parking takes care of the patrons' Lamborghinis and Ferraris and it is always quite a show there.

Atmosphere: The Asian part is the best place to see and be seen. Always packed with well-dressed girls from central Instagram casting. Italian part less flamboyant and more intimate. Basement lounge bar more unpredictable - sometimes slow, sometimes packed. (9/10).

Popped in this afternoon for some dimsum during their 3:30-5:30 menu. Ordered most everything on the list with four of us.
Both the foie Gras and truffle rolls were my favorite, but the Thai chicken soup dumplings, traditional hargow, and crispy duck rolls were all enjoyable.
Service was on point as we stayed for just under two hours ordering a second round of dim sum and eventually dessert.
I've always loved novikov, Asian side way more than the Italian side as a personal preference but both are great.
Restaurant and bar started getting lively just as we were leaving at 5:30. Will

This is a really interesting establishment that boasts two restaurants (Asian and Italian) as well as a lounge. It's very unique considering that you wouldn't think to go to a Russian place for Asian and Italian food. It's absolutely gorgeous inside and they make some of the best classic cocktails I've ever had. The geisha and red fizz drinks were good, however the smoke & copper was probably one of the best cocktails I've ever had. They definitely hit the nail on the head with that one.
I've been to the lounge on a couple of occasions, but have only ever eaten

Ahh it's a Russian bar!! :D And a fancy one too I think :)
Place has a really nice layout, you can talk and chill by the bar or there's a whole arrangement of tables you can sit at and talk. We asked the waitress to seat us and she was kind enough to do so, even though it was busy. The bartender didn't know what a Sidecar drink was but perhaps it's not a popular drink in England, so I opted for a Cosmo which was delicious and perfect for my mood :) The bartender offered us tequila shots too. I'm not sure who I would talk to or if I would enjoy the venue here by myself

I'm stumbled upon this wonderful restaurant on my layover traveling from Dubai to Los Angeles. I was supposed to propose to my fiancée in Dubai on Valentines Day but we fell asleep and missed our reservation . I had to find a place to do this the right way and my friends in London said "Do it at Novikov" the food was amazing, the staff worked with me to keep it a secret from her while at the table. Thanks Novikov for helping me set my future!!

Amazing!
First of all, this restaurant is absolutely beautiful inside. There is even a lounge/club downstairs - so you get the best of both worlds
Divine food, I mean we ordered lots of different options and each dish I was stunned with how tasty it was, and how different it was from the next. I am an extreme sushi fanatic ( I am from Vancouver BC) I have been to London a few times and I can never get good sushi like back home, this did justice!
Presentation is key, each dish both looked and tasted amazing
Service was impeccable, we were a very large party and they did not slack at all,

Tables at the club are not worth it. Tons of the hip hop club scene come and block the entire section from view of the dance floor and surround the middle tables (the best tables) from view looking to shark on girls that have had a few drinks by 1am. (They should do something to change this dynamic)
Food and service upstairs however is well deserving so this place gets 4 stars.

First off I have to say the food is amazing. I would want to go back again but the service is horrible which is disappointing for such a lovely spot.
But the thing that really got to me is when it was time to pay the bill. The cashier comes over with her credit card machine standing over us as we are reviewing the bill. I tell her we are paying cash but she just stands there like she is watching over us trying to rush us out or thinks we are going to leave without paying. It got to a point where we had to ask her to come back in a few minutes. She walked away with attitude. It is beyond rude to

Reviews of Novikov can be confusing because this one location features two full restaurants; one Italian, one pan-Asian, and a high-end lounge that attracts the rich and beautiful denizens of London. A place to see and be seen. And each one could easily be the subject of its own review. But because they share a name, an entrance, and are managed centrally they are usually rated as a whole. And this isn't really helpful, but as long as you understand this about Novikov, you'll be prepared.
I discovered this place quite by chance. I was hungry and tired after an afternoon of walking between

This restaurant has an Asian and Italian restaurants within it. I tried the Italian.
The setting is very pretty and elegant. The service is also excellent.
The food is also well above average and very fresh.
During lunch, they have a 2, 3, and 4 course options (two is plenty)
Prices are surprisingly much less than you would expect from such an upper end restaurant, especially at such a location. (50 pounds for two people, no alcohol).
I walk by this place at night and their bar area is a very happening spot in town.
