It honestly feels like I haven't had a proper sit-down dinner like that in a long while. This meal reminded me of the times before the pandemic when I would do my research and hunt down restaurants with interesting modern interpretations of traditional cuisine. Some dishes blew me away: the vinegar-soaked cherry tomatoes, the katsu sando and the japanese-flavored paella that seemed to use chopped up vermicelli rather than bomba as the base. I also very much enjoyed the patatas, which was definitely double- or triple-fried for extra crisp. I hope the outdoor dining rules stick beyond the pandemic; it was such a beautiful evening out. 1. Pulpo a la Gallega (La Coruna-Galicia imported octopus, boiled; spanish smoked de la vera paprika; extra virgin olive oil mediterranean Sea salt) 2. Tomate Desnudo (napa grape cherry tomato; gazpacho gelatin; arbequina extra virgin olive oil; Pedro ximenez sherry vinegar; mint cilantro mediterranean sea salt) 3. Tartare (45 day aged prime ribeye; Jerusalem artichoke cilantro lime; pedro ximenez sherry vinegar; arbequina extra virgin olive oil) 4. Alioli Prime Rib Katsu (45 day aged prime ribeye; estrella Galicia beer batter; padron pepper; hokkaido milk bread garlic alioli) 5. Patatas Bravas (fire roasted plum tomato sauce; spicy Spanish smoked de la vera paprika; chipotle alioli) 6. Fideua (catalán toasted pasta paella; pei mussel little neck clam wild pink shrimp; garlic alioli tobiko nori seaweed) 7. Coconut Flan 8. Not Spanish Girlfriend (jinro grapefruit soju, choya plum wine, champaigne, rose water, jamaica flower syrup)

Just went there yesterday to celebrate my birthday. It was a great experience! The food was superb, and the service was awesome! We got 6 tapas with two Sangrias - Mango & Tropical which I liked both! The Tapas portion was a little bigger but it was perfect for 3 people. All of them were so good that I can’t tell you which one is my favorite! It definitely brought me back to my memories of Barcelona! The service was very attentive. It was still outdoor dining, but every table was set far enough apart that we felt very safe during the pandemic. Waiters all wore masks and stood nearby to make sure they could attended to us when needed. I am so happy that we found this gem in the East Village and will definitely be back to try more tapas!
BEST TAPAS EVER!!! Hands down the most authentic and well curated Spanish menu in The Village. Nai Tapas is absolute perfection. Staff was happy and smiling and bustling around with purpose. They were the icing on the cake for what was a completely perfect meal. I will be visiting again and again and again. Amazing food. Amazing place.
We went there for the bday of one of my friends as a big group. The restaurant was super fun and very happening with live music and dancers and interesting dishes. Would def go again to celebrate
This was amazing! I was very picky about the place, and this one looked so good from the outside, that we picked it! Honestly, we had zero expectations, this was so delicious that we had our minds blown away!! Service, food, presentation all of it was amazing! Definitely recommending!!! You will be happy!!
