Starters were amazing. Salt and pepper squid was THE best I’ve ever had and I chose it a lot when dining out. Main courses weren’t just as good which was disappointing as the expectations were so high. The Bangkok street noodles main course was a bit stodgy and not a great choice. Setting and service were good. Lots of attention to get the wine at right temperature which is good, so many places don’t have that attention to detail.

Shima is sublime! The food is truly incredible and prepared and served with love and expertise. Our waiter Amad was so charming and helpful. We ordered way too much because we couldn’t resist trying all the amazing dishes and I’m so glad we did! I can’t wait to go back! It’s the best food I’ve had in a long time.

service was terrible. I was charged for an extra curry that I didn't order and they brought to the table anyways. Also didn't receive 2 of the things I ordered. They recommended a bottle that they said was similar in price but actually cost double the amount. booked 3 weeks in advance and mentioned I had a service dog, then an hour before dinner they call me refusing my service dog which is illegal. They finally were able to accommodate after back and forth calls but was stressful for our guest who needed the dog with them and wasn't sure if they could join the dinner. Lastly, one of the waiter's said tip was not included when asked when in fact it was.

The ambiance on the outdoor patio was great. Our servers were very attentive and the food came out on time and everything we had was tasty. My wife had the pork belly ramen and I had the pad Thai. We also had the crab and crawfish sushi rolls as appetizers . The drinks were also nice. The prices weren’t exhorbitant, while offering a sophisticated ambiance. We’ll definitely be back!

Great spot in Nassau to have some great Thai food, but a bit too expensive and could be spicier like true Thai food, overall I truly recommend it for meat dishes.

The food was quite good but not amazing. Our favorite was the Hong Kong Street Noodles. The service was prompt and attentive. The first floor bar was extraordinarily slow - more than 35 minutes to get our drinks. The room and outdoor patios are very comfortable.

Our dinner was just ok. It was just the same sort of Thai food you get from any standard Thai restaurant in terms of menu items and quality. But for a massively lot more money, so not good value. The place is lovely but our area of the restaurant was plagued by noise from children at poolside watching SpongeBob videos at ridiculous volume so that entirely wrecked the ambience. Would neither recommend, nor go back.

Shima is a treasure. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience on the deck. Server was helpful in identifying stand out dishes making our meal exceptional from start to finish. We tried a range of share plates and mains, as well as sushi. Dessert was a hit too. Did someone say mochi? Ambience was chill with just the right level of buzz making for the perfect evening. We will definitely return.
