N/naka - Kalkbaai iNingizimu Afrika

Amazing foods, decor, staff. Their truffle pasta is the best in town. Nigiri are also fresh and well seasoned.

Me and my girlfriend and 2 friends got the tasting menu and wine/sake pairing. Definitely would recommend if you like wine and/or sake. I also loved how they would explain the dish and wine/sake. Definitely made our dinner better

It 's not hyperbole to say that n/naka is one of the greatest dining experiences a person might ever hope to have, and without question, it 's one of the most impressive restaurants in the world. To try and review it in this space does a disservice to Niki Nakayama, Carole Iida and the extraordinary staff, as well as anyone reading this who hasn 't experienced it for themselves there are spoilers and I won 't reveal/ruin them. Suffice it to say that calling n/naka 'a meal ' is about as reductive as referring to the Sistine Chapel as 'a painting. ' While the cost is well above what most would expect to pay for a typical dinner out, it only takes about thirty seconds to realize that this isn 't typical...or just a dinner. I 'd never been emotionally moved by food or by a dining experience until n/naka and I 'm still reeling from it several days later. If you 're looking at your bill at the end of the night and thinking about money, you 've missed the point or maybe it 's meant to hit you later. One anecdote to support the above: about halfway through our dinner, I was hit with a debilitating migraine that forced me to miss some of the meal. I was embarrassed and felt ashamed about this, but the restaurant was so kind and took the best care of me. I can 't think of many other moments in my life when I felt as cared for. There 's dedication to culinary craft, to the art of food service and hospitality, and to the tireless pursuit of perfection... and then there 's n/naka, an establishment that, for a few hours of your life, might just convince you that true perfection does, in fact, exist. Vegetarian options: If you 're a vegetarian, there 's an entire, separate vegetarian tasting menu for you. It 's every bit as opulent, epic and satisfying as the modern kaiseki menu. Not eating fish or meat shouldn 't deter you from n/naka. Dietary restrictions: I 'm a pescatarian that is allergic to mushrooms, which is kind of a mine field for a chef to navigate. The staff and kitchen nevertheless accommodated these things and gave me a bespoke kaiseki menu that was not only respectful of those restrictions but also felt seamlessly tailored to them. For a restaurant to anticipate what you can and are able to eat and celebrate those things for and with you pure magic.

It was obviously very good but we felt it was waaaaayy overpriced for what it is .... and tbh the food didn't blow us away yes we went in with high expectations .... but when a restaurant plays at the pointy end it's to be expected. At these prices USD870 for 2 pax with 3 glasses of wine) I can't recommend it save your and go to Nobu ... now that's saying so thing about the prices ? however the staff were great.

N/ Naka cooks like characteristics of Vivaldi's composition. Vivaldi winter! Dietary restrictions: Ask it will be given onto you
