We've been to Nana's twice now and have been delighted with the super-tasty comfort food and yummy drinks. The BBQ beef donburi and marinated chicken donburi are particularly noteworthy and the matcha latte is a real treat. I'm gluten intolerant and it is easy to find non gluten-containing meals here. We find the atmosphere really calm and relaxing and the staff are lovely. So nice to have a proper Japanese cafe in Leamington!
Visited Nana's last night and had a wonderful time. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was amazing! Would definately recommend Nana's for yummy authentic Japanese food and a great atmosphere. Thank you Nana and to Ayumi for the lovely matcha cupcakes too!
Quaint and cosy Japanese cafe. Feels authentic. The tasting menu is normally lovely and less than £10! Reasonable portion size, can get extra rice, my personal favourite is the vegetable curry don with karage chicken. Just want more �
Truly excellent homestyle Japanese restaurant! Not our first time visiting, and we always enjoy coming back. The welcome from the staff is very friendly, and they are supportive of helping me around with my walking aid. The menu is split into smaller plates and larger rice bowls with different toppings. Veggie and gluten-free can be well catered for, and there are also usually a couple of seasonal specials to consider. Service is quick - food here is served as soon as it's ready, so there's no waiting around! And it's delicious, all of it. We devoured the pork gyoza and okonomiyaki (omelette) skewers, and savoured every mouthful of the donburi rice bowls. Prices are reasonable too. Highly recommended!
A lovely little place with great service. There is an interesting menu with various dishes, including a tasting plate.
Some dishes are on the pricey side. However, everything we had was of good quality and was delicious.
The service was excellent, and the venue was clean throughout.
♿️ there is a ramp up to the entrance, although the door and ramp may be a little narrow for some wheelchairs.
🚻 there is one accessible toilet with a baby changing table. The toilet is large, but there is a corner to navigate to get to it.
Where to even start!
We were seated at the counter and the staff were all wonderful even though the place was full (the atmosphere was still perfect and not at all noisy either!)
The donburi was incredible and after an early start and busy day it was the perfect meal, the spicy BBQ beef was so good I didn't even feel bad cheating my vegetarianism for it.
And oh my goodness the desserts, when I saw the dessert menu I knew that I was about to blow my entire food budget for the trip.
I would pick a highlight but honestly it's all 10/10. That said my favourite was the cinnamon "mochi" honestly I had to stop myself ordering even more (I had five desserts and I would do it again!)
Honestly my only complaint is that I live in Scotland and can't eat here every week.
Frankly if you're in Leamington spa this place is a must visit.
Nanas is a truly unique place. You won’t come here for the fake sushi experience. You are here to experience real Japanese cuisine brought to you by real Japanese. From the ingredients, the hand made sushi, the friendly informative staff. If you want to experience the closest thing to Japan in Leamington, this is the right place. Of course, as a very unique place, make sure you book on advance.
First time we came in around 1:30 they sold out all rice, so came again the next week, tried the lunch set, the one today was okay, unlimited refill rice and soup.
And we also ordered grilled eel rice, it’s tasty but abit expensive. But overall taste good. Atmosphere was nice, service was great, the waitress with good attitude even only one person doing all the serving.
100% real Japanese taste. Didn't realize they only serve nigiri sushi on Thursday evenings. Will definitely place another visit soon in the future to get it again. Okonomiyaki skewers were so great. Just missed my days having the okonomiyaki with my Osaka friends.
Excellent place. Really enjoyed the homey Japanese food and atmosphere. Lunch tray good value. Enjoyed the beer.
Nana's Japanese has a very calm and relaxed atmosphere with well chosen décor.
The menu states that they try to capture what home cooking is like in Japan itself and my wife having lived in Japan for quite some time she told me that it is quite authentic.
There are small dishes (like tapas) or larger bowls such as donburi to choose from. We shared teriyaki salmon and beef tataki to start. The standout was the salmon which was very soft, almost like it was poached with the teriyaki sauce. The taste was strong but still allowed the salmon's own flavour to come through.
We both had Karaage chicken Donburi. The way the chicken was fried was great, a light crunch followed by succulent chicken. It's a simple dish but an enjoyable one!
I think this is the most welcoming place I have been in the UK. I felt like I was invited to their home, not a cafe. Food is absolutely deliciuos. I loved Matcha cake as well. 🌸🌸🌸
I surprised my partner with a sushi workshop at Nana's for his birthday. It was an amazing experience and we got to make 4 different types of sushi (Nigiri, Urumaki, Temaki & Maki). I would definitely recommend a workshop at Nana's!
