    A nice chilled out waterfront restaurant. Sometimes the service is excellent, and sometimes it's indifferent. Food is good, and reasonably priced for Phuket waterfront. If you order the oysters (they're very fresh) try the Thai style condiments option. Yummy.

    First thing first, the vibe of the restaurant is so great. 😎 I was there with a friend for a lunch. We ordered oysters for an appetizer, it was good, it came with fried onions and garlics and some leaves with yummy seafood sauce 👍🏻 We also had Papaya salad, Grilled pork neck, Deep fried soft shell crab with garlic pepper, grilled squid and seafood TomYum for a soup 👍🏻 These orders we had was for 2, it’s normal Thai size. Food and its portions is decent. I’d actually like to give it a 4.5-stars but there’s no button for it 😅 The minus five is just b’cuz there were uninvited flies that join our food 😅

    The most beautiful restaurant on Rawai beach front. Great menu and beautifully presented Thai and international food. Been coming to Nikita's for 25 years and it's still as good as the first time I came. Oysters are the best value on the south of the island at 200 baht for six . Pizzas are good and to be honest the Thai food actually stands out from the rest of the other restaurants in the area apart from Mae Khlong that's also good but nothing like our favourite Nikita's . They still keep it natural and beautiful under the giant tamarind tree or on there new deck area.

    Can't beat the location. Waterfront looking straight out towards the sailing boats returning before sunset. Food was nice but pricy for Thai food. However to expected due to the location.

    Decent place with a good view of Rawai pier. The food is above average and the prices are reasonable. Excellent wine selection - a frozen mug option for the beers would go a long way here. The staff is friendly but to be honest often a little lackadaisical. It’s an overall comfortable and quiet atmosphere and we enjoy stopping in once per week.

    Nikita's, a superb beach side dining venue at Rawai. Nikita's is a fabulous place for relaxed family and friend gatherings, solo dining or a special occasion. Situated right on the beach, Tony and his staff will go out of their way to accommodate individual needs. Staff are very helpful and do a good job of understanding English. Food is always well presented, hot and delicious. They also have a generous selection of cocktails and an elegant wine menu showcasing international varieties. Parking is available on-site or the Phuket Smart Bus runs every hour from Pa Tong with a bus stop a short distance away. I definitely recommend Nikita's when in Phuket. Thanks Tony. Michelle

    A restaurant totally rely on the view instead of food. It’s the worst cooking we had in Phuket. Also, they ask for tipping when you pay. I don’t appreciate that.

    Overpriced, poor cooking, and ask you directly to give 5 stars. Shame on you ! The owner even dares to say my review is fake! It is not ! I was there last month. Your restaurant has a good location but your attitude, poor cooking and overprice strategy will just bring you down, not covid.

    It’s one of our favourite restaurant in Rawai, the best location and superb staffs, friendly and attentive. Food is very delicious providing both thai and western food, and very accommodating with vegan options. Enjoyed the first glasses of wine here after the restrictions is eased. Great wine selections too.

    Another great restaurant at Rawai. Sitting outdoor under big tree and enjoying Rawai pier view. I have tried the Nikita's signature pizza- salami, anchovy, onion, chilli. It was new for me and haven't seen somewhere else yet. Nice to try. Good foods and nice service. A lot of Seafood restaurants in the location and Nikita's was great choice for my dinner. I will be back to try Thai menus next time.

    We came back to this place after 10 years. We remembered that it was so delicious and fun that we wanted to go back even though it was really late. We were afraid that it wouldn't be the same as before but the truth was that it was as good as we remembered. Stunning view, perfect food and good atmosphere. The prices are a bit higher than other Thai restaurants in the area but totally worth the money.

    Pretty food and beautiful view. If you are not careful you will order too much food because they have many delicious stuff.

  • 3/5 Jennifer S. 5 months ago on Google
    My husband and I ate here last week and initially, it was a weird experience. A hostess showed us to our table but then proceeded to tell us how she’s alone and has no family… huh? Did she want us to give her money or something? Just odd and uncomfortable. But then a waitress arrived and all turned our fine. My husband said he enjoyed his fish - I thought it was mediocre- but I liked my pak meang with prawns. Very tasty. My husband’s banana flambé desert was excellent as was my taro ice cream. Service was quite poor between courses. But the setting is lovely right on the pier. And no mosquitoes! Music playing in the background was not too loud.

    Vegan: 🚫 Vegetarian: 🚫 Meat: ✅️ We were brought here by our tour guide to have lunch during our Phuket island sightseeing tour. First of all the restaurant is nicely located directly by the water. It is quite big and has only outside tables, partly roofed. The menu is split between a Thai menu and a western style menu. The prices are above average for Thailand, but not too expensive. I think for this view they are really OK! As we were a mixed group of two meat eaters and one vegetarian we were looking for a vegan or vegetarian option. The Thai menu unfortunately didn't contain any pure vegetarian or vegan choices, only some vegetable dishes which contain fish sauce for sure. The western menu had some vegetarian choices, so I went for the Fattoush salad and a bruschetta triple with three different bruschettas (classic tomato, avocado and mushrooms with feta cheese). The two meat eaters chose the classic Thai dish Pad Thai. When the food was served everything seemed okay. The salad was fresh and had a nice vinaigrette dressing. The tomato and avocado bruschettas also tasted quite well. But when I took a bite off the mushroom and feta bruschetta I immediately tasted that something was wrong. It was the taste of meat! I had to spit it out and one of the meat eaters confirmed that there were pieces of bacon (or similar) on the mushrooms. Disgusting! This wasn't marked on the menu so this is a absolute catastrophe. If you randomly put meat in dishes please clearly mark it!! There are many vegetarians nowadays and they don't want to have such a bad surprise! Still I have to say that the service was friendly and everything else was okay. Because of that bad experience I as a vegetarian can't recommend this restaurant at all for vegans and vegetarians. The restaurant doesn't seemed to care enough about vegetarian and vegan food or the clear marking of ingredients. For meat eaters the restaurant is good, so I can recommend it for them. The review only reflects my very personal experience as a long time vegetarian who really doesn't want to be surprised by meat.

    Chanced upon Nikita’s after walking around Rawai and wanted to sit down somewhere, turned out to be a gem of a place! Beautiful sunset that just got nicer and nicer, matched with great food, both international and local! (forgot to take photos of all the food) Highly recommend for sunset drinks and dinner!

  • 4/5 Anthony S. 5 months ago on Google
    Great tasting food. Very scenic location right on the water. Service was a bit slow and food was expensive. But still definitely worth a visit

  • 4/5 JW T. 1 year ago on Google
    Big potential - pity about the food portions and quality. Let me say the setting is fantastic; could really do a nice romantic dinner or just drinks on the bean bags watching the sun set. Thai food taste was good, just the way it was presented vs how it was portrait on the menu was not good. A squid is normally served whole and not half pieces. The soft-shell crab was mostly onions and hardly any curry sauce. The rest of the dishes was fine just smaller portions. Would not mind to pay more, for bigger portions and all the bits.

  • 4/5 Ignatius Bayu K. 5 years ago on Google
    The great thing about this place is you can dine in beside the beach and enjoy the breeze of the sea wind. It's quite expensive for a seafood restaurant, even we didn't order a seafood menu. It costs us around 700 baht and we order green curry soup, seafood fried rice and 2 coconut shake. Well, you will find it's not expensive since you also got the experience. However, this place serves pork on their menu. You can find other place that is halal certified or doesn't serve pork, however the ambiance won't be the same as well.

  • 1/5 Jay O. 3 years ago on Google
    Placed looked nice but the food i received was not even worth half the price i paid. I think ive never left a bad review on my life but now i am. I got lamb shank massaman ( signature dish) It was so chewy you could tell it had been frozen for a while... Then once i got in the middle of the meat it was actually still frozen...600 baht for frozen food !! I barely ate any of it...told thr waitresss it wasn't goood but she didnt seem to give a damn. Not recommended

  • 2/5 Pham Bich N. 3 years ago on Google
    Unfriendly, grumpy waitresses who didn't greet us and put the plates on the tables without saying a word and never smiled. The food is overlypriced though the quality is good. The restaurant assistant asked us to leave a 5-star rating on Tripadvisor and show her the proof and she'd APPRECIATE it, making it so awkward. Now we know that we got fooled by those so-many-great-ratings and got ourselves here. That also explains why there's no customer here besides us at that time. I hope the owner gets to read this and take some actions and a different approach to improve the service here.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice intimate place. I can say with pleasure that I was not bitten by any mosquito even if the place and time had worried me, but I was able to ascertain that without even applying the repellent spray, I did not have any discomfort. Everything above the sufficiency, nothing extraordinary regarding service. Dishes I would give a 6+ but one thing I recommend is to take the chocolate spring rolls as a dessert, excellent not heavy, delicious, not very sweet, just a pleasant surprise. The evening was very enjoyable. Advice. Ah for the prices a bit high for the time we are and also for the standard of the menu. But the location compensates quite not entirely. (Original) Posto molto intimo carino. Posso dire con piacere che non sono stata morsa da nessuna zanzara anche se luogo ed orario mi avevano preoccupata, ma ho potuto appurare che senza nemmeno mettere lo spray repellente, non ho avuto nessun fastidio. Tutto sopra la sufficienza, niente di straordinario per quanto riguarda servizio. Piatti io darei un 6+ ma una cosa che consiglio è di prendere gli spring roll al cioccolato come dessert, ottimi non pesanti sfiziosi, non dolcissimi proprio una piacevole sorpresa. La serata è stata molto piacevole. Consiglio. Ah per i prezzi un pochino alti per il momento in cui siamo ed anche per lo standard del menù. Però la location compensa abbastanza non del tutto.
