Description

Niki's Kitchen Cafe once stood out as a beloved culinary gem, offering warm service and delicious fare. However, recent visits reveal a troubling decline in quality and hospitality. Many patrons report unfriendly staff, average food, and an uncomfortable environment, especially concerning the shared restroom situation. While some still praise the cafe for its generous portions and good coffee, others lament the lack of attentive service and cleanliness. The contrast between past excellence and current mediocrity suggests that, without significant changes, Niki's may struggle to recapture its former charm and customer loyalty.

Arrival at 3pm bank holiday Monday after the hiking slieve donard. it was packed and the employees were run off their feet, but still remained friendly and efficient. had a club sandwich and a Cuban pot roasted sandwich both very good.

We all had a great breakfast here great menu selection, super fast service and cheap price.

Beautiful breakfast and coffee for less than £10 per person. eating was good quality and portions were more than enough

The last time I reviewed this restaurant, I was pleased to give it top marks. The young blonde girl, Michelle, was a fantastic asset and we always enjoyed our visits. However, since the Covid pandemic, we have noticed a significant decline in quality and service. During our recent visit, we decided that we will not be returning to Niki's Kitchen Cafe. The staff were unfriendly and unhelpful, and it seems that the restaurant has lost its charm. We will be spending our money at other dining establishments in Newcastle instead. We were informed that lunch service had just ended as we walked in, and when we asked if there was anything available, we were told that the kitchen was closed except for scones and tray bakes. The staff member's hostile attitude was shocking, and we felt unwelcome. We have decided to take our business elsewhere and do not recommend Niki's Kitchen Cafe to others. It is a shame to see such a decline in a once great spot.

I stood in line before 1:50 pm, as breakfast service ends at 2 pm. I was asked for my order at 2:04 pm, but they refused to serve me from the breakfast menu because it was past 2 pm. It seems ridiculous that in a matter of minutes, they could not use common sense to accommodate one customer.
