Ada Mediterranean Kitchen in Isle of Wight

A great place to dine. Lovely food and happy, friendly staff.

An absolutely amazing restaurant. The food is full of flavour and very well presented. The staff are phenomenal and really make you feel welcome and are truly a part of the experience. If you have any questions they are very happy to guide you and will offer suggestions and make the whole experience very comfortable. The food is really amazing and the more you eat your insides literally do a happy dance and you feel the great food. Thank you so much for the evening. Will definitely be back.

Fabulous food with a great range of gluten free and vegan options available. Our Roumanian host could not have been more friendly and helpful.

Lovely service, highly welcome and delicious food. We will definitely come back next time we are on the island.

Been visiting for 5 years now. Food is always good and the staff are friendly and attentive.

I went here a number of years ago. It hasn't changed. It is still a warm, friendly place, with a great welcome from all the staff and excellent food. I would always look forward to returning here.

We found it while walking past and found it very friendly and with a great atmosphere, food was also delicious and would highly recommend.

A truly great experience from start to finish. The food in our opinion all 7 of us was the bees knees. Quality and taste five star, good Turkish hospitality. We all said as a family get together that we should go back soon. Very pleasant waiters and patience was obviously not a problem, please give it a try as you won’t be disappointed.

Lovely little family run restaurant. Really helpful staff and great atmosphere. Great menu with something for everyone.

Went in on holiday, no booking, luckily got a table. Food was delicious, service was great. Would definitely visit again when in the area.

Good food, friendly, attentive staff but not over the top. Not too noisy so we could have a conversation. Can definitely recommend Ada's.

Wonderful service food and atmosphere highly recommended

Honestly. Everything was perfect. Kleftico was HEAVEN. The Pollo Gorgonzola was beautiful. If I lived on the Isle of Wight I would be here every single night and day. Wow. Also it was cheap to eat.

Food and service was amazing will definitely visit again

Had a great birthday meal,food was amazing, the staff were very friendly and the service very good

Delicious food and a wonderful experience. My family and I are visiting the Isle of Wight and went on a wim to Ada and we are so happy we did. Everyone enjoyed their food. A lot of effort goes into the presentation of all the dishes and the services is excellent. I highly recommend going here.

We dined here and totally enjoyed the food / drinks / atmosphere. Highly recommend visiting , lovely surroundings too & friendly staff .

Worth the little walk up from the Esplanade, got a mixture of the meze dishes, delicious. Staff super friendly and helpful

This was an excellent choice for our first night on the island. The kids had plenty of choice but also the chance to try new things and the service was quick and super friendly and helpful!

I've been to Ada numerous times and every time it amazing so when we went for dinner last night it was no different. We had the meze and it was so good and the service we had from the waitress (sorry didn't catch her name) was top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant it's one of my favourites.

Outstanding restaurant. Rung at 7.20 and despite being very busy they squeezed us in for 8. 6 plates of meze/tapas between two people, large New Zealand Sovignon Blanc and an ice cold Efes for £54. The food was beautiful. Really, really fresh and lovely. The Turkish sausage was something new to us and absolutely delicious. If I lived here this would be my local. Staff were attentive without being overbearing. It was full on a Tuesday night and I can see why. Absolutely lovely.

Went there for a meal last Saturday evening as we were staying in Ryde for a couple of nights break. The food amazing and the staff super friendly. It will definitely be our go to place in future.

After a trek hike to this place for food, it was turned down at 1350, saying the place is closed for lunch. 😤 The misinformation on the timing just wasted our time and the attitude of whoever was at that point. 😡 These places need to be shut if you are not up to pulling up the sleeves to fight laziness. 💪 #BadService #TimeWasters

The food was very delicious. Only the lahmacun was not very good. Köfte Iskender was nice. The appetizers were excellent. The service was very good. Thank you for everything.

Wonderful, friendly service and wonderful food consisting of good portions! Definitely recommend!

Food and ambiance is fantastic. They take time to prepare fresh food. We have really enjoyed.

Wonderful place really nice freshly cooked food….

Brilliant food & really exceptional cheerful service. Couldn't be bettered. Only one miniscule quibble; our starters portions were a tiny bit large so we both "ran out of steam" & couldn't finish our main courses. [I can heartily recommend the liver!]

We had a lovely evening meal, everything we ordered was piping hot. The staff were very nice, the service was nice & quick, but they didn't rush us. We would definitely return to try other dishes on their yummy menu.

We booked this restaurant out of pure research and a couple of recommendations. We were not disappointed! The waitor was so polite and good with our son, and was very helpful to us all. The food presentation and taste was outstanding, and the timely manner was impeccable! I would definitely recommend anyone visiting the Isle of Wight to come and eat here! It is worth the visit. Very polite and welcoming.

Great food and wonderful service

We enjoyed an exquisite dinner where every dish exceeded our expectations in both flavor and presentation. The staff, not only exceptionally attentive, charmed us with their kindness and warmth, making the evening a truly memorable experience. Thank you, Ana y Debbie :)

This is one of our favourite restaurants in the world. Due to working away a lot, we haven’t been able to visit for a while, so it was a pleasure to go again on June 10th. We had a selection of Mezze to start and I tried the sea bass for a change, it was delicious. I need gluten free food and my step mother is allergic to garlic. Ada couldn’t have been more accommodating if they tried; I even had gluten free pita bread! The wine was fantastic and very reasonably priced. I can’t wait until my next visit and would highly recommend this restaurant to others. Thank you Ada!

Everything about our trio's dinner here was excellent including the ambience. Their Mediterranean Chicken is highly recommended in both the main meals and with the salad. Would highly recommend dining here when in Ryde 🙂

My wife and I had visited the isle of Wight to celebrate my grandaughters wedding and decided to stay on for an extra couple of days. As we were styaying in Ryde my Grandson invted the bride,groom , bride's mum and dad together iwth ourselves to dinner on the monday. I have to say it was one of the best evenings we had for a very long time as the owners went out of their way to make sure we were happy. Everybody said that their meal was delicious but I have to sat that the spaghetti carbonara thaat we both had was so delicious with no stinting on the parmesan which usually haooens in other restaurants. I was the only one to have a pudding offthe menus, the meze which remninded me of the ones i had in Greece. I suggested that the owner that he should move to our patch in the Cotswolds as a similar restaurant we had in Chipping Campden changed hands and changed the men completely.

Had nice selection of cold and hot meze dishes. Food was great and plentiful

This is without doubt a must go restaurant. The food was delicious, service impeccable and very reasonably priced. I had the chicken Gorgonzola (see photo). Hope this helps

What a fabulous place, the food was excellent and staff lovely, can't wait to visit again

This place is an absolute gem of an establishment. The food was amazing, just so so tasty. Quick service for both the drinks and the Meze, which was great as we were a table of 12. Nothing was too much to ask for. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming 🙏🏻 I'd happily come here again! Such a great night 🌙

Really nice food, great service and good value for money.

Great food, Attentive and friendly staff

We had a great evening meal at Ada last night. It is hard to choose a restaurant with my family being so picky. We chose 4 different starters and 4 different mains. Wow delicious we all really enjoyed our evening. The menu had a good range of different choices, but our server explained all. Normally we have very little choice of what we want, but at Ada the choice was huge. Everything came at the same time, excellent quality , excellent service and yes we will definitely return. Thank you all for a great evening.

Delicious food and lovely friendly servers. Second night in ryde and wish I went on the first night.

The atmosphere, staff and food were excellent.thanks

The food, ambience, hosts and drinks were amazing. The Lamb Kofta were out of the world.

A gr8 expereince on isle of weight for tukish halal cusines.

Eat the meze glorious spicy foods and surrounding staff we're brilliant 👍😁

Very tasty 😋 Nice customer service. Must visit if you're around.

Great atmosphere when you walk in - a busy restaurant with everyone talking to eachother is always a good sign! We did the Wednesday Meze night. The manager came straight over and introduced himself and bought us over a bottle of house red - which was delicious. The waiters then bought out all different little bowls of foods every five minutes or so. I loved the idea of having no menu and just being bought dishes, as I always have trouble choosing what to get! The food was lovely but I wish there were more actual cooked dishes rather than fried nibbles - but that’s just my personal taste! A great restaurant, lovely chatty staff and good prices.

Great food great service lovely menu selection Will have to go back to try more of the delicious food. Fast service for a party of eight celebrating a birthday highly recommended

Fantastic food, amazing service! Can’t recommend enough. I’ll be back

I had the best time ever because it was so amazing and the food was brilliant! - Ada, age 6

Its ok. Nice venue. Friendly staff. They forgot a couple of our dishes that we had ordered. And could do with more menu choice an d bigget rations...4 garlic prawns for 6 quid!?

I don’t often write reviews, but last night I had the most excellent meal. The food was incredible. The staff were amazing they made my friends birthday very very special and I cannot wait to eat here again. I am a vegetarian and there was so many things to choose from All fresh all home-made, the feta dip was out of this world. Thank you so much for an amazing experience so warm and friendly cannot wait to come back If I could give you more than five, I would it was incredible!!!

Absolutely scrumptious meal, the pida was truly remarkable. Our server Dan Sanderson seriously went above and beyond providing us with an exceptional experience from the second we stepped foot in the door to the moment their Turkish meat met our mouths. The warm and inviting atmosphere, matched with an abundance of fresh Mediterranean flavours, left us comfortably speechless. We will be returning…

Fantastic food and service. Excellent value. Its a lively atmosphere.

Recommend freshly made baklava with vanilla ice-cream 😋

Had a wonderful time here, the food and service was exceptional

Lovely food, friendly staff. Very expensive

First visit after many years of visiting the island and highly recommend this restaurant. The food was fantastic, fresh and so tasty. The staff were attentive and so friendly. Will be back again in 2 weeks and will definitely be stopping off again.

Amazing Turkish food. I had a dish called Ali Nazik and it was so tasty. I will try something else next time

The service food was really good highly recommended. Salmon and Prawn tava was very tasty. clean environment. The ambiance was warm and welcoming.

Not one to leave reviews….. In fact, this is my first but felt the need to address. My partner and I arrived to be kindly received and guided to our table. The rest I am afraid was downhill from there out! Starters arrived in no time at all and were in fact okay. We had the sharing platter. The salad had seen better days with browning around the edges of the lettuce but still retained a slight crunch. Within two minute of finishing our table was cleared and mains had arrived. No chance for a break between! Within 40 minutes of arrival, our mains were already on our table. Everything felt extremely rushed even though we had a two hour time slot and we both felt very uncomfortable. We couldn’t help noticing the waiting staff keep looking at us each time they walked past. Which again, didn’t help the experience. I had the mixed meat plate which I found to be very dry and tasteless. I could honestly say that I have had a better tasting meat pattys from Iceland! The best thing once again on my plate was actually the salad and tzatziki. I ate half my meal at best to which my partner finished due to the fact that she had starved herself all day in preparation of a fine meal that never actually materialised. To end……… If the staff had asked at the end of the meal as to how our meal was, then they would have received the feedback i have written in this review. Needless to say we shall never return and find a decent establishment to dine in!

We ate at Ada on 22nd December and Gina was our waitress. Service was amazing and food was delicious would highly recommend !!

We are regulars at this restaurant. Great food, mezze or main dishes. Good choices for vegetarians. Great atmosphere, lovely people.

Always a treat to eat here. Great food and great people. Highly recommended!

Great service, very friendly, outstanding food. We were a family of six and the food came out all together and freshly cooked.

Absolutely fantastic time here with friends for our Christmas meal. Staff an absolute delight, super personalised service and food just d.i.v.i.n.e great value and choice for all! We'll be back!

This restaurant features small Turkish dishes which is useful if you only have small appetites. The service and food was excellent.

Had a wonderful evening with my partner celebrating my 70th Birthday, Nothing was too much trouble during the visit, I even got a happy birthday sign put up.

Good food, friendly efficient service.

Would like to say how enjoyable our meal was today and the service was outstanding,the gentleman that served us was very chatty and made our lunch all the more enjoyable..will definitely be back for more lunch dates.

We had an amazing meal. We had pretty much every single appetizer that they had, as we had a very large party and everything was amazing. The food the service we couldn’t have asked for more. We will definitely be back next time we are on the island.

Always amazing service. Always amazing food. Consistency is key here. Every time we go, it's the same great experience. Can't recommend enough

Hubby booked this for my birthday as I love Med food. It really was as good as the reviews suggest it would be. We started with the Halloumi and Saganaki, then followed with a salmon pasta and a veggie pide. The pide was incredible! Wafer thin, crispy base and topped with a deliciously rich saksuka. Yum! We finished with Baklava and ice-cream. Everything was exploding with taste. Dan our server was a delight to meet; fun, interesting and chatty. Service from all staff was highly attentive and personal. The chef popped out to have a chat- he's not only a great cook but he's very quick witted and a good laugh. Thanks so much guys for making my birthday so memorable! Loved it!

Another fabulous tasty meal…. Starters of goats cheese & caramelised red onion flatbread for my husband and mussels for me. The sauce the mussels were in was to die for, so tasty I could have ate another portion for the main course. Main course was Mediterranean King Prawn for husband with loads of prawns with masses of flavour……and Penne al Samone for me. Again beautifully cooked Salmon so soft and tender it melted I’m my mouth, plus the pasta was just right, not overcooked. Hubby had a pudding and ate every single bit…. Staff and Chef are so friendly but don’t hover, ( I hate that ) We will be back If we could give 10 stars we would…. Highly recommend ….

I booked Ada to celebrate my Birthday at the last minute I had to add a guest to the booking. This wasn’t a problem at all the restaurant were very accommodating. Amazing atmosphere Amazing food Amazing staff Great value Such a wonderful way to spend my Birthday dinner with my family at a lovely restaurant. I would definitely recommend Ada and we will be back soon.

Great decor and friendly staff, likewise food selection. Very tasty and well-presented when it arrived. Main problem was only 3 out of the 9 of us ordered starters - so obviously the rest had to wait until we'd finished. We were assured by the otherwise really pleasant waiter that the mains would follow on soon afterwards. Not exactly ... dish after dish seemed to arrive for the people on the table near us. Made me wonder whether they got some of ours too... As above - the food was broadly speaking well worth waiting for. However the delay with the mains was hardly an incentive to order a starter first, sadly.

Great service, went with friends. Didn't know it was meze night which was great value. All meals were cooked well. Was very busy so recommend booking. Nice addition to Ryde

Really nice tasty food, lovely staff and cool decor

Fantastic from start to finish...... We were impressed. .. Julie, Darcey, Dan...... really on point! #staff #atmosphere #food Miss this little gem....miss out!

We all had a lovely meal. The staff were very friendly; and very professional. Its apity we were only on the island for a few days otherwise we would have gone back

Gorgeous tasting food in a great atmosphere.

The food in this place is amazing and the service is friendly and quick. If you like Mediterranean food this is the place for you. Loved it

Lovely service. Made us feel so welcome. Wish we had gone there sooner.

Absolutely fantastic service and food 10/10 perfect!!!! Been 3 times in 2 weeks......back again next week!

Beautiful food as always .Great customer service too

I just love everything there! The food, the service, the atmosphere… everything is perfect! I highly recommend the mussels! As a cook lover, I do wish to hear about the recipe about the fabulous sauces!

Avoid the carbona. I know it’s a Mediterranean restaurant but I and the kids were just in the mood for Carbonara. It came out in record time (always a worry) but was definitely some pre cooked spaghetti with a few ladles full of single cream, some black pepper and rough cuts of bacon (not the pancetta the menu mentioned). Just disgusting and small portion which on this occasion was a good thing as a bowl of cream was not what we wanted

Fabulous Turkish food. Great portions. Best food we've had on the island!

Although it was an early seating the place was really busy, that said we did not have to wait at any time for service. Only had starters and a main which both came without much of a wait. Both were tasty. Would recommend and visit again if in ryde.

Flavourful and authentic food, amazing service, fantastic atmosphere.

Thank you so much was amazing evening our waiter was fine young man very courteous and even knew native turkish drink raki..

Amazing food and served up quickly. Need to come back soon.....

Excellent restaurant. Called in with no reservation and seated straight away. Helpful and friendly server. Excellent meal - tasty, good portion, good presentation, sauces in separate dishes. Good glass of wine. Good prices. Nice atmosphere. Thank you.

Amazing food. Lovely attentive staff. Definitely would recommend

Had a great evening. Food was lovely. And the lovely service from Ethan Roy was amazing. Will be going back fir sure.

Meal for our wedding anniversary absolutely wonderful friendly service, food excellent highly recommend here, thank you

Relaxing and friendly...food is good. Thank you for great service and really a cool welcome. Defo will visit you again.

We stopped by on a whim ( without a reservation) because we were hungry. Though it was a busy Friday evening. They were kind enough to seat us promptly. We had seafood. Food was amazing, very tasty and very fresh
