First time visitor to Barbados, so that's pretty key to every restaurant on the island: scary divey feel, but amazing food, service, and atmosphere. We were here during the off season (April), so got a beachside table no problem. There's a "boardwallk" right outside, which can detract a bit from the experience, since you're at eye level with those folks,... More

Had the multi-course set menu, and enjoyed some of the best tasting foods that I've ever had. The sweet potato soup was delicious -- not too thick, and full of flavour. Others in our group had the Miso soup, and spoke equally well of it. The mustard vinagrette on the shrimp salad was amazingly -- the perfect "tang" to liven... More

The hostess was warm, friendly, and welcoming. The wait staff seemed awkwardly fawning, and sent over more than one waiter during the course of my meal to ask the same questions. Then there was some snickering between the waiters, were they laughing at my expense for some reason, or at each others' expense? Hard to tell. I assumed one of... More

We ate here recently whilst on honeymoon in the Accra Beach and I have to say it was the best food we had all honeymoon. I suffer from an egg allergy and the staff were happy to consult with the chef on dishes I fancied. We had the 4 course set menu; we both had sweet potato soup to start,... More

This place was GREAT! Superb service without being intrusive. Excellent food and a view of the ocean from the table. Very romantic, relaxed atmosphere.

We went to Naru on our last night in Barbados, 12 April. We were attended to in a friendly and professional manner straight away and sat next to the boardwalk at the front. We ordered three sushi dishes and two cocktails, which were all amazing. We also received complimentary green tea and snack chips while we waited which was a... More

Came across Naru by chance, thought it looked very nice and quite an unusual menu. Staff where very welcoming and very attentive,but told us the concept of the menu. Basically the dishes where like large tapas, so needed about 4 dishes between 2. The meals were presented lovely and had loads of interesting flavours. My husband had a desert, banana... More

Having spent 5 years in Japan I definitely know how does a real fusion cuisine should taste like and for me Naru was rather a disappointment. Maki rolls came with very warm rice and a kind of warm fish, portions were so small (8 very tiny pieces), so we had to repeat it 3 times and go for a main... More

I don't usually write reviews, for this one its a must. I live in Barbados and this has become my favorite place to get take out sushi. I celebrated a birthday recently and wanted to try somewhere else but it was closed. So happy I went to Naru. We had plans of going partying but the food, drinks and service... More

Went to this restaurant as it's one of only a few restaurants in the area that has a vegetarian menu for my partner. We got a nice table overlooking the boardwalk / beach. When the meal arrived I was rather disappointed at the size of my meal. It was piled up in the middle of the plate and I didn't... More
