Nanima Asian Kitchen & Cafe

A warm dog-friendly welcome from Nicky and family led to a lovely dinner for myself and girlfriend. Our dog is a little random on account of being a rescue, but we were assured through stories of various family dogs over the years, that our fuzzball was in good hands. The menu is a selection of freshly cooked concoctions which you can mix and match into meals, for instance 1 main and 2 veg sides, that sort of setup. We had salmon with string beans, shredded veg and a delicious sauce, with some chicken wings and a tasty puff pastry lamb-slice-type-thing plus a fresh tap lager. Think it was cobra. The queue for the place next door beggars belief as I'm sure their pizza is fine but it's not going to be much different pricewise than Nanima and you won't have as healthy or tasty a meal or meet nicer people than this lot! I mean: it's just pizza?! I remember when I was a student the familiar ease of stuff like pizza or kebab felt more soothing and once habits had been reinforced they were difficult to break, but the predominantly uni-vibe of the takeaway next door would have an amazing meal at Nicky's for not more more. My mates got a saying 'i make my own atmosphere!' and whilst that's a great attitude most of the time I reckon a packed evening in here would be even more fun than the decent low-slung guitar-led tunes that were on the playlist when we visited. They're all so amazingly warm, attentive and chatty. Just a lovely bunch of people and we'll definitely head back.

Popped in for an early dinner with our dog on a Friday. Very much a cafe style place, intimate and informal, but if that's what you're after you can't go wrong. Delicious, varied menu - found it very hard to choose what to have. Dishes all delicately flavoured, nourishing and cooked with love in beautiful family run kitchen. Homely atmosphere and Nicky and her hubby could not have been more hospitable and warm to us and especially our pooch. Will be back soon!

A group of us recently spent the afternoon at Nanima for my husbands birthday. The food and service were both outstanding. We tried a selection of the delicious homemade dishes and shared them between us. The menu changes daily (which tells you just how fresh it is!) and is super flexible with many options/variations to choose from. The hours passed as we steadily ordered more food and more beer! Nanima feels like a home from home, super relaxing and the best place to catch up with friends. HIGHLY recommend!

We booked the lovely big table at the back for eight of us for a colleague's leaving lunch, and had an excellent time! The food was freshly prepared that day and delicious, the staff were really helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect - bright, warm colours all around that brightened up a rainy summer's day.
