    We had a wonderful experience at Naisla Kitchen & Cocktails. From A-Z, the views to the mountain, the excellent service, the entertaining host, the mouth- watering drinks to the delicious food… this was our best dinner on the island so far. We will recommend to anyone we know. Well done!

    We chose to eat at Naisla the evening we arrived in Kauai and were very pleasantly surprised. The ambiance was great, the waiter was engaging and attentive, and the food was some of the best we have had in Hawaii.

    Excellent fusion food. Wasabi Caesar had that sharp wasabi flavor in the dressing. Came with five shrimp. This linguine meatballs was much spicier than I anticipated but delicious. The Dorri chicken reminded me of Thanksgiving with chicken instead of turkey. Everything was delicious on that plate.!

    Great food! We came here in July 2024 and came back June 2025. Best food on the island! Lobster linguine, filet, cod, steak bites, all very impressive dishes. Great service as well. This time we took another couple that hadn’t been before and they loved the food as much as we do! Very special place and we will be back every trip!

    We were looking for somewhere special and different to go in Kauai after we get married at Sunset in a private ceremony after reading the reviews on yelp, we decided to give this place a try. We drove all the way from Princeville down. The food was pretty good. The atmosphere was not great for the romantic evening we were looking for everything felt very loud and rushed.

    We really wanted to love this place and we did LOVE LOVE LOVE the appetizers and cocktails. So many things went well but others were just a little off. Our waiter was a really nice and helpful guy! We ordered drinks and then on second time over to the table we ordered appetizers. All 3 apps came out from food runners at the same time, and before our drinks came from the bar. The apps were amazing - scallops, cucumbers, arancini. All super delicious, and PERFECTLY prepared! Entrees Ramen, lobster pasta and hamachi (app) were okay... next time we'll order the short rib instead.
