Mahiki

I simply LOVE this club! Not only are their drinks amazing, but their staff is as well. My mates and I went there the other night and got a table. The staff was so nice and helpful that they sent us a treasure chest on them! We honestly had the best night of our lives there and will so be going back.

For safe passage into this place I had to pay £40 for my girlfriend and myself, and she’s hot! WTF!!! Okay, it was midnight, but I don’t see the logic. I’ll never go here again, not only for the preservation of my bank balance but for the class of clientele. If you’re a fan of The Only Way Is Chelsea, then you might enjoy rubbing shoulders with the like-minded pretentious cretins that can be found here. However, for those of you with a trace of personality and humility, your time will be better spent elsewhere. You might think I’m being facetious, but I’m serious and truthful about this next point in particular; The entire bottom floor smelt like a toilet. Nothing more to it than that. I can only guess that the faecal odour was emanating from the copious amounts of bullsh*t that was being exchanged between William Winkytonkydonk and Jeffery Darchester III, and the like. Note to timeout: Please could you add the option to select 0 stars. This would have been my option for this venue. Thanks.

We had been invited to a friend's birthday party being held there, and were on the guest list. Arrived all smart and ready to spend and party; but were told by the narcisistic doorman that he had "already let in too many people for that party". So he refused us entry despite very polite protestations and explanations. Heads deeply up the rectal canal here. Only go if you like curt haughty door staff.

Avoid at all costs. Mahiki and it's frankly appalling door staff are not worth the time of day. Went there for my friend's hen party - before 9pm, with a table that had been reserved weeks before, a guaranteed minimum spend and emails / texts from that day confirming our reservation only to be told they did not have space for us. Nor we're we even allowed in the bar for a drink. Blatantly this is because we were a group of varying ages and sizes and did not fit their view of Mahiki clientele! Ridiculous behaviour as many of us were extremely able to pay their extortionate prices. It was really upsetting for the hen who was looking forward to her night. Reserved a table in the VIP area in Cafe de Paris instead who treated our group completely as They should and could not have been more helpful. Shame on you Mahiki!

I can handle pretentious people at clubs, but Mahiki's staff are more pretentious than the patrons at London's best clubs. And the place SERIOUSLY is not worth it. Don't waste your time.

My friends and I went to Mahiki last Friday, 15 June. The lady with very bad manners and attitude told us that all the tables were reserved and they were not letting anyone in??? We did not need the table, all we wanted was just to have few cocktails and to dance. I've been to the club before and I know that you have enough room to fit the four of us. I did mention that I corresponded with their customer service and that it was fine for us to come. She suggested to come back at 9 pm and to speak to the manager. We came back at 9 pm, and the manager with worse manners than the previous one, said the same thing. We had IDs, we were smartly dressed, we weren't arguing - all we wanted was to have good time. As I had two friends coming all the way from Russia - believe me, it was very hard to explain why we could not get into the club. So my question is - why didn't they let us know via emails that you were 'fully reserved' that night? Or why didn't you let me know that it's for imaginable 'VIPs' only? It's hard to explain how bitter and disappointed we felt on Friday. I would not recommend to any of my friends going into Mahiki as it's one big disappointment and waste of time. Lovely place but with stupid 'entry' rules. Or shall we say, there are no rules?

We went to Mahiki last night and i had the time of my life! I don't quite know why people seem to be slating the door girl, she was absolutely lovely and accommodating to me and my group! When we were shown to our table they were able to provide with some incredible service! There were dancers and confetti and everything, it was such a fun night! I say that if people didn't have a good experience they clearly didn't go on a good night as everyone who was in my group had an amazing time, and before anyone kicks up a race card, three of us were indian, so no there isnt a racist slur. Thanks so much Mahiki, loved it!

THIS PLACE IS APPAULING! Went there last night for my 25th birthday with 10 of my friends- both males and females, to only be told that we we're only allowed in if we buy a table .... And at £180 per table, this wasn't going to happen! Even after emailing the main "customer services" person HONEY.... Who by the way isnt actually a real person! Thank you for ruining my birthday Mahiki, do not go to this place if you wish to spent your good earnt money on staff that are rude and very obnoxious, also the girl on the door isn't very professional at all, she seems to have a liking of calling girls she doesn't know babe! not something you would expect from a Mayfair club.

Thought I'd let reviwers know about global Mahiki policy, so here's my two cents from Dubai: I'm afraid I had the dire misfortune to visit Mahiki last night. It was Ladies night but apparently they weren't letting the ladies in or at least not all of them. You see, your chances of getting in are determined by a snooty young man with bouffant hair who obviously tough he was Lord of the doormen. In spite of politely asking and reasoning with him to let three well-dressed and need I say, Indian, women in, he said we couldn't enter unless we had table reservations. I must state at this time that I had called up the lovely Layla of Mahiki earlier in the day to enquire about the need for bookings and such, and was assured we could just walk in. As we waited cluelessly, I couldn't help but notice that there were hordes of waiting "western" women, along with their men, being let in. I went back and asked our friendly neighborhood doorperson why (oh why?), he told me their names were on the guest list. They must have mysteriously appeared on that enigmatic list as they had certainly been waiting too! I asked if there was any chance we could enter if we played the game and waited, but he said no. I asked if we could get a table (please, sir?). He said “I’m afraid there's a minimum spend, and it's just too expensive"!!!! I beg to understand why the staff of a club would presume that a client would not be able to afford a table at this elusive haunt? Surely, being a club does not separate it from being part of the hospitality industry? Are such staff trained to talk this way to patrons, or are they just chosen for their scintillating personalities? Whether I can afford to buy a table is at my discretion and my decision entirely, and not for this snootier version of a doorperson to decide. I was insulted and appalled at this treatment, especially because I was with an out-of-town friend. Dubai prides itself on being cosmpolitan, and a melting pot of cultures and nationalities, but when it comes right down to the basics, am I right in understanding we are back to the black or white issue? I mean, if the doorman assumed i could not afford a table (though I was in my favourite red Cavalli dress, designer bag in tow), I can only imagine that the only distinguishing point must have been my ethnicity? I am not one one of those over-sensitive, race-card-playing types, and I personally have never encountered any such issues in Dubai in all my 10 years here. I frequent all the upscale clubs and restaurants in the UAE without ever having been turned away. Last night was a huge exception, and Mahiki has let me down immensely.

The staff in this bar are really, really rude and obnoxious. They ruined what would otherwise have been a great night. There are much better places to spend your money.
