Nima Seafood Story — Restaurant in Zakynthos Municipality

I rarely write reviews – but after this restaurant visit, I have no choice. As someone who works in the industry myself, I understand that not everything can always run perfectly. But what we experienced at Nima Seafood Stories was simply disappointing.

Our table was reserved for 9:30 PM, and we arrived promptly at 9:35 PM. The restaurant wasn’t busy, yet it took 25 minutes before anyone came to take our order.

We ordered three starters, but only two were brought out. The third – fried calamari – arrived only after we asked about it, and long after we had finished the other dishes. Honestly, they could have skipped it altogether: 80% rings, overly salty, dry – inedible. We left it untouched.

For the main course, we ordered a pasta dish and a whole fish. The pasta (paccheri) was lukewarm and completely unsalted – neither the sauce nor the pasta had been properly seasoned. The fish tasted good (which one would expect for €85), but it was also served lukewarm, likely because the waiter was clearly inexperienced in filleting it at the table.

Dessert was the final letdown: imitation “churros” with no flavor, and a cookie that was nothing special. No satisfying end to the meal – just more disappointment.

When we left the restaurant: not a single goodbye, no thank you, no acknowledgment from the staff. A service experience straight out of the manual for “how not to run a restaurant.”

I had the chance to discover NIMA Seafood in Zakynthos yesterday, and I can confidently say it’s one of the most impressive culinary experiences I’ve had in a long time.

A brand-new concept in a breathtaking setting, NIMA is elevated in every sense—from its panoramic view to its refined, authentic seafood menu. The fish soup and eggplant salad were nothing short of extraordinary—truly among the best I’ve ever tasted.

As someone who’s been visiting Zakynthos for years, I’ve always adored this part of the island. And now, with NIMA making its mark, it’s become an even more exciting destination. It’s not just about the food—it’s about the atmosphere, the energy, and the hospitality. The owners bring a sense of care and warmth that makes you feel welcome from the very first moment.
