Famed London hotspot known for its chic clientele, dynamic menu and elegant atmosphere across the Asian Room, Italian Room and Lounge, Novikov, is now in Dubai and has been much anticipated. So of course, we had to check it out! The private entrance, high vaulted ceilings and elegant décor make it a little bit different to anything else in the city - and the food is simply a must-try.
What we ate
The menu is served sharing style so in the interests of writing an all-round review, we tried quite a few dishes! We started with the freshest sashimi selection, a Nigiri selection and I absolutely had to have the Tuna Avocado Maki. We also tried the crab and avocado salad and the Wagyu tacos. Then from the grill, we had the miso baby chicken and the black cod.
Verdict
Love it! The sharing style and the portion sizes really worked for me; I felt like I was able to try different dishes without getting too full before the mains came. And the food is fantastic, everything was beautifully fresh and superbly cooked. Yum!
Price
Appetisers start from Dhs 20, sushi and sahimi from Dhs 60 and mains from Dhs 80.
