Nikita’s
About Nikita’s
Lusciously decorated Russian restaurant to transport you back to Tsarist Russia. Plus if it’s good enough for Elton John... Nikita’s served Elton John’s 450 celebrity guests with its famous fruit
vodka shots and caviar and cured salmon blinis, from it’s ice bar set in a
magical frozen landscape. The restaurant is divided into a series of small rooms which give it an intimate feel. It can get rather rowdy when the Vodka hits hard. A good place to go with a parcel of friends - especially if you love Caviar. What’s cooking? Caviar and Blinis, Koulibiak of Salmon, Beef Stroganoff, Chicken Kiev and loads of plain and flavoured Vodkas.
