Niku

This is a lovely cocktail bar/restaurant with beautiful decor. The atmosphere is very lively and service quick and attentive. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with amazing cocktails …Definitely a fun place for a night out in Surbiton ❤️🍹🍸🙌🏻

Gorgeous bar & restaurant! And a plus there's a smallish sized club in the "basement".
Myself and my husband enjoyed wine and a few starters which were all reasonably priced.
The restaurant area is beautiful and so is the outside side terrace!
All the staff we encountered were very friendly , we will definitely return

No plans on visiting just v hot day and needed a drink. What a find! Lovely set up. Very quiet as it was late afternoon. Happy hour when we went so drinks were excellent value. Thank you Stacey for looking after us and being so welcoming and helpful. Will be visiting again and trying the menu 👍

Came for brunch for a friends belated birthday celebrations, amazing service and food. By far the best bottomless brunch we’ve been to, amazing drinks and quick service. The bar tender was really good and service was 10/10. Can’t thank Fiona our server for our day/evening enough!

Cozy cocktail bar vibes with what I would describe as low key club music playing in the background. We ordered two Bango Mangos at the happy hour offer that we were a bit disappointed with, tasted just like vodka orange juice but we didn't try anything else on the cocktail menu. I really liked the lamb cutlets and pork belly starters, my partner's calamaris werea but cold. Service was attentive and quick.

went here last night, was so amazing! the staff were very attentive but not intrusive at all. Drinks were perfect, the mango bango especially. Food was 10/10 couldn’t fault anything. New favourite place, thank you for the great experience!

We loved the cocktails on the menu, very local venue in Surbiton with the best cocktails in the area so far! Just discovered this little gem with my husband recently. The staff were super attentive and made our stay feel very welcome.

Really really disappointing night for NYE.
11 of us had booked 2 tables in the lounge area which included entry, prosecco and bacon sandwiches, this cost us £350.

Our tables were two tiny bar tables pushed into the booths in the corner, sandwiched between two other groups. We were missing chairs so had to ask for more.
We booked the tables in this part of Niku as it was advertised as RNB, 90s and pop music, however, only house music seemed to be playing.

I asked one of the servers if I could speak to someone about the seating as it was way below our expectations and felt really cramped. She said she would get the manager but she never appeared.

The place kept filling up with more and more people, to the point that the cloakroom was too full for our coats and they had to be put on the floor, the bar was at least 4 people deep queue for a drink (20 min wait), and the whole place just felt really suffocating and there was way too many people (a lot of whom didn't even look 18, let alone over 21s only as was advertised).
Again, I found the manager to ask if we had been put into the wrong room as the music wasn't what we expected, and she responded with attitude that the DJ will change soon and just brushed me off.

More people seemed to be coming in, and drink prices randomly started increasing, and when questioned, the bar staff said its new years so they have gone up. For reference 2 single vodka and oranges cost £21.

We ended up leaving our tables and spent most of our time in the outdoor area where it wasn't so crowded.
We ended up leaving just after midnight as it was too much, no idea if they served the bacon sandwiches.

All in all, really awful place to celebrate NYE. They seemed to value money over safety as the number of people in the lounge (BASEMENT) was downright dangerous.
Staff were rude, unhelpful and full of attitude. Toilets were filthy and filled with young people doing c***. Only saw 2 security guards for the whole night. Just so lucky that no fights or fires broke out.

Might be a nice place to eat, but please don't book to come here for a night out!! Judging by the negative reviews, we're not the first to experience this.
