Naniki Restaurant Review

Rich wooden beams and stone tiles, clay pottery, straw mats, and colorful dinnerware set the style at Naniki (an Arawak word meaning "full of life"). Huge picture windows and outdoor porch seating allow you to enjoy the exhilarating panoramic view of surrounding fields and hills along with your lunch of exquisitely prepared Caribbean standards. Seared flying fish, grilled dorado, stewed lambi (conch), and jerk chicken or pork are accompanied by cou-cou, peas and rice, or salad. For dinner (by special request only), start with conch fritters or Caribbean fish soup; then try roasted Bajan black-belly lamb or shrimp garnished with tarragon. Sunday brunch is a Caribbean buffet often featuring great jazz music by some of the Caribbean's best musicians. Vegetarian dishes are always available.

    Naniki Restaurant Review

    We reserved for Sunday brunch Dec 2009 over the Christmas holidays. It was great! The breathtaking views of the greenery all around and the backdrop of the ocean was beautiful. The buffet brunch superb, the rum punch exhilarating and the live jazz ensemble completed the whole experience. Tom, the owner of the establishment was very charming and quite attentive as well. The property also has cottages that can be rented. They were very nice, as we were able to have a tour of them. We will definitely return to Naniki on our next visit to Barbados
