What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Nakaya is highly praised for its excellent sushi, considered some of the best in Tehran, and its chic, cozy atmosphere. However, some diners have experienced disappointing service, including unwelcoming hosts and inattentive servers, and issues with food quality or portion size relative to price. While many enjoy the overall dining experience, consistency in service and value for money remain areas for improvement.
"One of my favorite restaurants in Tehran. They offer various options for asian cuisine which incredibly tastes good. Additionally, I’m in love with their dark, chill and cozy atmosphere while having enough warm light to see ur meal. Prices are high but fairly acceptable for the location and food quality. The only downside is that waiting queues are too long during at the weekend."

"The young lady at the entrance was not in the least welcoming & could do with some manners. I must say however, that the decor was beautiful & the serving staff polite.
We loved the spring rolls but the chicken sliders were tough & cold. Expected better food at these prices to be honest."

"When we entered the restaurant, we had to wait a long time for someone to take our order. After a while, I had to get up and look for a hostess.
The food was eventually served. The sushi tasted good, but the portion sizes were very small compared to the high prices.
Overall, we enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant, but the small portions relative to the high cost affected our overall experience.
I hope that in the future, the quality of service and the balance between price and portion size will improve to offer a better experience for customers."
