just tried to make an enquiry about the club for a friends b'day and got a very snotty reception when I wasn't booking the £800 minimum spend table.
shortly after sharing this info I was told to just turn up on the night. then the phone went click. not impressed.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!! Went to Mahiki on Saturday night. The worst place ever! After having dinner at Scotts in Mayfair (Fantastic by the way!) we eagerly walked down to Mahiki's where we was supposed to be on the guest list. After arguing with the doormen for 15 mins we finally got in. The clubs decor is amazing but the people are complete toffee nose idiots! All wannabe 'Royals' due to the princes going there. After getting a table we ordered a round of drinks which took 30 mins and was missing 2 drinks. It then took a further 20 mins for them to bring us our forgotten drinks! Cocktails were complete rubbish and the service was the worst ever experienced. The worst thing about this place is the people. All rude, no mannered, pompous twats. Do not believe the hype!

Mahiki isn't usually the sort of club I go to but since it was a mate's 21st, I went along. It started off fine, the interior is impressive and there's a great ambience. However the people in there, although harmless, I found were a little shallow and annoying. When I go to a club, I like the crowd to be more or less friendly and considerate. But at Mahiki, I found them to be the complete opposite. Eventually I came to the conclusion that although the club was nice, it was full of posers and people who were to "be seen."
The bouncers were OK with us initially as we smiled and were polite to them. However after leaving the club, one of my friends needed to go back in as she'd left her mobile in the toilets. The bouncers wouldn't let her in. They then refused to call the manager after we had asked them to.
Mahiki is OK, the only thing special about is the decor and possibly the (overpriced) cocktails. If you're going to Mahiki cos you've heard how "amazing" and "trendy" it is, it's not worth compromising a good night out.

I've been a couple of times and while I wouldn't say it was ever great it wasn't awful either.

I had no problems with bouncers or staff and they let our group sit at a reserved table until the people who had reserved it arrived.

I agree that the dance floor gets too crowded and the toilet attendants make you feel like you owe them a tenner each time, but all in all it's a pretty safe choice.

6 well healed professionals...hahaha....

some of the best cocktails in london and a laid back vibe only spoiled by boring rich people with no dress sense( you're not at the yacht club now tarquin). The only reason 'suits' get charged 800 minimum for a table is because they dont bring any atmosphere to the club so they may as well bring some money in!
And you get what you pay for cocktail-wise: excellent rums and super-fresh juices.
18 months on, this place still stands out from the crowd...

Chose the venue for engagement party, told people to get there early as advised by Mahiki's party planner, all my friends were there at 9 and the people at the door made them wait for an hour. I mean, how early do you have to get to a club. The only way to get them in was to get 800 pound table and then they said they could accomodate only 10-15 people. Unbelievable. Did not ruin our night but I regret choosing this venue.

Utter crap. Arrogant staff outside and in, despite my friends and I being on the guest list. Ridiculously crowded, low ceiling, paranoid reaction to anyone going within 1 metre of an empty 'reserved' table.
Luckily a few guys/girls in the crowd were decent, unlike most of the staff.
80's music, ok for a drunken bop but not possible due to claustrophobically crowded dancefloor.
£14 for a cocktail not great value for money either

6 well healed professionals on a Wednesday at 12am charged a £800 minimum charge for a table - LUDICROUS

Poor investment, 400 trips to Cafe Nero is MUCH MORE REWARDING
