Novi Kitchen + Bar

Came alone for late lunch on a Thursday, ate their brunch special “breakfast taco” with crispy pork collar and crumpled peta with a cocktail.

I was greeted with service, introduced to specials for the day and given advice on the menu where I asked. The service wasn’t pushy, very welcoming and accommodating. The food too was awesome. Great flavor and clearly great care put into it for a very decent price.

Was also very pleased with the way I was served especially as a solo diner. I definitely recommend!

First of all we would like to thank the whole team for their craft a shift, creativity, professional and friendly behaviour. When we arrived at NYE there was a small fire in the kitchen. Therefore we’ve been told there will be no food served anymore this evening. We were having a drink or two at the bar and then the chef came to us to inform us that we can have our booked table. The food and drinks was second to none. Highly recommend the team and drinks. Please try out the garlic Wodka drink and the shawarma. Simply awesome. Thanks again. Will definitely come back.

Never had a bad meal here- try the cookies!
They're always friendly and the chef often comes and speaks with us. Served happily by Rheea today- thank you for the good experience :)

Really good brunch here. Taylor or waiter was very attentive and polite. The coffee is excellent as is the avocado toast and apple crumble waffle. Great that you can book as a lot of places do not allow booking for brunch. I’ve been two weeks in a row now - this will become a regular spot!

I had the pleasure of visiting Novi bar recently, and I must express that it was truly an exceptional experience. The culinary delights we savored were nothing short of extraordinary; each dish we ordered was a symphony of flavors that left us craving for more. The botanical cocktails took us by surprise, with their distinct and vibrant taste, free from any dilution. The staff at Novi were a perfect blend of warmth and professionalism, enhancing our overall enjoyment of the evening. I'm eagerly anticipating my next visit to Novi; it was an absolute delight to go there, and I'm more than enthusiastic about returning.

Lovely location, Ella was very welcoming and looked after us well. I had the scrambled eggs (First item on the brunch menu)and my wife had the salt beef sandwich,both were beautifully presented and were delicious. I washed mine down with a "Berry cider" recommended by Ella and found it the perfect accompaniment. The open front offered a lovely view of Regent street, a great place for people watching. We will definitely return on our next visit to Cambridge.

We celebrated my sister's birthday here and the service, food, and care from the staff was unparalleled. They helped us surprise her with candles & a cake and we had a great time. The food was delicious and the bathrooms were lovely too!

I cannot rate Novi enough! Their staff, in particular Ausrine the Events Manager has been so accommodating and helpful.
We hosted a networking event on the top floor, the space was perfect and the bar staff were great too.
In fact everyone was accommodating and friendly at all times and I would highly recommend this space for your event needs. Also, its a local run company not a chain, extra bonus!

Personally I’ve always enjoyed this place since it was opened! Great food including really fun and diverse vegetarian options! Vegetarian 🥑 options really deserve extra mention since in most places they’re a boring afterthought but not here. The location is beautiful, I love it, especially when it’s getting warm. I’m not drinking anymore so I can’t comment drinks but I remember that cocktails were good when this place opened and I still thought alcohol was a good idea haha 😜

Novi has amazing atmosphere and the staff is extremely professional and friendly. We have ordered food to share and all the dishes were really tasty and good. Same goes for cocktails. Would highly recommend if you want to have a nice night out with some good food.

Absolutely delicious food. Would 100% recommend a visit. Service was impeccable, & attentive made me feel very welcome. Thank you Taylor

novi is for sure one of the best places to eat & drink in Cambridge. I enjoyed the croquette, bao buns and prawn skewers, followed by pannacotta. All delicious- so much flavour in all the parts of the dishes-and also lovely to look at. Drinks menu and service is always super too, thank you.

It was my first visit to NOVI, for lunch with a small party from work. It was a great experience, and I cannot agree with some other reviews here criticising service: our waitress was great - cheerful, knowledgeable, and everything was fast and perfect.
Hard to identify the style of food, certainly a lot of fusion and health-minded. All of our party liked their plate(s), for different reasons. Will certainly come again!

We just discovered Novi today, what a find. Our brunch was really tasty, well presented and the service was great, what a cool place. We'll be back!

We came in here for Sunday breakfast this past weekend. Having had some disappointing hotel breakfasts we were keen for something different & better - we lucked out.

The vibe is cool & trendy, but still comfortable. The fella serving was attentive & friendly, went out of his way to discuss the menu & give recommendations. Turns out we probably could have picked anything as the food was amazing. I had the Turkish eggs which were superb, my wife has the eggs & mushrooms, and my son the avocado on toast, both declared them a triumph. They don't just do plain dishes, they add a little more flavour and interest which elevates them.

The bill was v reasonable, and we took a chance to look at the evening menu which had us committing to come back another time for cocktails and dinner.

Can't recommend this place enough.

I can not recommend Novi enough. The staff is so warm and welcoming. The food was heavenly tasty not to mention the cocktails. It is the best bar in Cambridge. It’s always a great pleasure to go back!

Brilliant brunch spot! Fun ambience with lots of natural light and good amount of seating. Staff is above and beyond friendly and welcoming! Food is delicious (especially the southern friend chicken+waffle and the cookies -out of this world!) and filling. Will definitely be returning!

Came in with my daughter and doggy for Mother's Day. Really dog friendly, she got lots of fuss. Lovely cocktails and desserts and the lady Sofia who served us was ever so welcoming and friendly :)

Great, seems to have settled since the refurb.
This bar is an off centre mix of casual coffee with your pet?, to the place to be for drinks and dinner in a group.

Could do with some more individual seating. the group tables are not ideal for this solo customer.

Beautiful environment and good service, I will recommend a visit when next in Cambridge
