Adda Hut in Wokingham

100% authentic Indian Bengali food. Lovely owners who have made it their mission to provide authentic Kolkata / Bangla cuisine. Must try dishes - Mutton Kosha Mutton chop Bengali Pulao Fish fry Koraishutir Kochuri Bhetki Paturi Bhapa Ilish Tomato Chutney Mishti Doi Can’t go wrong with any of these! All brilliant!!!

Lovely food, amazing hospitality. Highly recommended !!!

Hi, I’m a foodie, and so are my wife and young son - we all truly live up to the name. For the past couple of years, we've been hearing about an Indian restaurant in the UK called ‘Adda Hut,’ known for serving authentic Kolkata-style Bengali cuisine. Yesterday, my family and I finally had the chance to try their food, and I have to say, we were quite satisfied. We would like to start with Kolkata-style mutton biryani. The rice was light, flavorful, and moist, just as it should be. The biryani came with two pieces of mutton, one large potato, and an egg. The potato was well-cooked and flavorful, and the mutton was tender and tasty. Overall, we had a great experience. If I were to rate the biryani from a well-known restaurant in Kolkata a 10 out of 10, I’d give the biryani at Adda Hut an 8.5 out of 10, which is impressive for a place so far from Kolkata. We also tried their Luchi, Kashmiri Alur Dom, Kolkata-style fish fry, and Mishti Doi. Overall, we had a really great time, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who shares our taste in food.

Tuve un servicio terrible cuando pedí una comida para llevar. Se retrasó tanto y el restaurante no se estaba tomando en serio el retraso. El propietario era muy grosero y me estaba ridiculizando cuando me quejaba del retraso como tal esto es normal en restaurante . Lo curioso es que he llegado al menos 5 minutos después del tiempo dado por Restaurante y no tenían los modales para hacerme saber sobre el retraso y tuve que perder mi tiempo esperando durante mucho tiempo. Espero un mejor servicio al cliente. La comida era promedio. El pollo kosha estaba bien, pero no le gustaba el Kadai Paneer. No recomendado

I had a terrible service when I ordered a takeaway. It was so delayed and restaurant was not taking the delay seriously. Owner was very rude and he was ridiculing me when I was complaining about the delay as such this is normal in restaurant . Funny thing is that I have reached at least 5 minutes after the time given by Restaurant and they didn't have the manners to let me know about the delay and I had to waste my time waiting for a long time. I am expecting better customer service.

Authentic bengali food, loved their veggie selection (especially chilli paneer and kathi rolls) and mouth watering traditional desserts.

Great food n wonderful service 👌 very polite, classic Bengali hospitality. Lots of vegetarian options, try their dolnas or other veg curries

Not very authentic and not reflective of the bengali cuisine.

We tried their fish fry at London durga puja and it was awesome. We wanted to try their other dishes at the restaurant, finally we visited yesterday. Menu had lot of choices, we ordered fish & chicken thalis and some extra fish fries. Each thali had good portions and was enough for one person. Taste was good. Though we went for fish fry, but we loved their misti dahi 😀 One thing could be better- there wasn’t any curry in fish thali that can go with Traditional bengali luchi (Puri). Parking is easily available in the evening which is very close to it. Not too many seating, however we got seats easily in the evening. Overall it was good experience.

Very disappointing experience. Went to restaurant and booked a table for 5 for a Saturday night. While we were there, we decided to take a dish home to try the food as we had never been to this restaurant before. We had a chicken dish but sadly the food was not of a good standard. The pieces of chicken were full of gristle, quite inedible and the chicken was tough. Not what we expected. Therefore it is no surprise, we cancelled our booking and went elsewhere. What a shame, as it is in a prime position in Woodley precinct.

The place to visit for authentic kolkata bengali food. The biryani reminded me of Arsalan. A must visit for all foodies...

Very traditional food , good taste and good service

Excellent food. Great service and ambience. Authentic food. Loved it

It's a place for authentic Bengali cuisine. The food is good but not great ! Some of the dishes could have been better ! Also the space is quite less .

I ordered Egg curry, Chicken curry, and Fish Curry, but unfortunately, they all tasted alike, resembling tomato sauce, and were served with chicken, egg, and fish in separate containers. It didn’t feel like a worthwhile value for money …..

We have been here many times. Every time we came back with a smile. All the staffs are good, food is excellent. It surely reminds us of our native place, food is just spot on. Special recommendations- fish thali, Kolkata style biryani. Had visited this place with friends from different countries and families too. Everyone was always awestruck. We even organised our son’s first year birthday party in here. And no surprise at all, everyone was happy with the food and overall experience. Owners are very cooperative as well. Always love to go back here even if we need to drive for an hour. Always a pleasure.

Can’t complain on the atmosphere as I ordered takeaway Chicken biryani was tasting like fish biryani - Chicken curry - didn’t even reach the expectations Not recommended!!!!

The food used to be great and not too bad still, but on 3 different occasions we have received stale food and that is mostly the Mutton Biriyani. I appreciate that most of the items on the menu tastes great, but nothing is more important than quality. Please start taking care of that aspect.

All the food was very good. Authentic indian bengali taste.

Authentic Bengali cuisine ❤️ each and every item was delicious specially mutton kosha and fish fry was too good. They are very well behaved. Will definitely visit again.

Every dish is authentically Bengali.... Try it out yourself. You won't regret. Very professional service.

Had been a bit apprehensive - I wasn't sure what to expect. However the best curry I've had in many years. Exceptionally flavoursome meal at a really good price. More than happy to pay the service charge. Looking forward to returning but also intend to use for a takeaway. Thank you. Have already raved to friends about how much we enjoyed it.

Let's you BYOB , so can't complain.

High prices, less food quantities . Food took forever to arrive. Taste wasn't authentic as we thought it would be for Bengali food like Mutton Kosa , Kolkata Biryani and Steamed fish. Quantity of Mishto doi was so little for almost £4 ! Our bill was almost £60 ( service included) for 2 adults and one child.

We do not live local to the place but had visited Reading to have dinner at this restuarant. The food was very tasty and the Biryani definitely reminded me of Kolkata back home. It is the authentic kolkata biryani with very good portion size and can say the best one of a kind I have had in the UK. Loved their Koraisutir kochuri and aalur dom too. I am sure the Chef there is the perfect choice for running the kitchen. Would love to try their thaali and fish recipes. Probably chingrir malaikari next time 😊

I have known of this restaurant for a while, but do not live near by. Finally I decided to pay a visit. I loved their food and service. The front desk lady is super efficient. The menu is delectable and have many of my favorites. I loved the Thali concept as it provided many of my favorites in small portions, more than enough in quantity for a person's meal. All the dishes tasted great and I ended up having takeaways as well. One of the owners was there and came to greet which is a wonderful gesture. I hope this restaurant flourishes as there are not many authentic Bengali restaurants around. Looking forward to my next visit.

Visited Adda Hut for lunch. The ambience is homely and service is brilliant. Coming to the food, I'm falling short of words. It was F.A.N.T.A.S.T.IC! Had the mutton meal and every thing was perfect, took me back to Kolkata. Tried some fish fry as well and it was GREAT too! We took some stuff back, would be relishing them all week now. Definitely a great go to place for all! THANK YOU! Special thanks to the girl waiting today as she drew nice smileys on our takeaway packs, a cute gesture!

Bit tight to sit there, but the food is awesome mouthwatering Bengali authentic 👌👌👌

Have been here now quite a few time and Never disappointed! Beautiful dishes from Kolkata..we always pack some back. Must try the veg thali and the aloo jhuri bhaja is superb!

The flavors of the Bengali cuisine were a delight to my taste buds, showcasing authenticity and finesse in every dish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for a delightful meal. Moreover, the staff was incredibly attentive, providing top-notch service that added to the overall enjoyable dining experience.

Actual test of Kolkata Indian food.

Most authentic Indian Bengali cuisines in UK, better than many big names in London!

Biryani portions can be better. Biryani taste needs improvement. Malai Chamcham is below average. Great service from the front desk lady.

We had a very disappointing meal. I biught two different dishes but both had the same sauce. The tubs were half filled with very small portions. My partner ordered a biryani and it hardly had any veg and very little chicken on the bone. Will not be ordering again

Awesome and authentic. Best we have had in the UK (comparison Chourangi and Darjeeling Express) and stands up with the Kolkata favourites - Kewpie’s, bhojohori manna, Aheli and others. Good attentive hosts, good portion sizes. Mutton Kosha, bhaja moong daal and the mutton chop were the highlights for me. Kudos to the owners to promote the seldom unknown (West) Bengali cuisine in the UK, Indian food is not justice to about butter chicken and dosa (btw I love both).

We are been there on several occasions. The food is too good to satisfy the gastronomy of true Bong foodie . Specially luchi with narkelli aloor daam, chop, both chicken and mutton Biriyani, chicken chaap. Missing their Sunday buffet though.

Authentic Bengali cuisine, would highly recommend the restaurant and better than any of the Bengali restaurants in central london and north London, which are frankly a waste of money, only the decor isnt that great but the food more than anything makes up for it.

Authentic Bengali food ,value for money Specially the vegetarian curries, fish fry, Topshe fry, Luchi.

Adda Hut catered for our wedding reception on 24 June 2023, and the food was absolutely amazing. Everyone loved and thoroughly enjoyed the eclectic Bengali feast that they had presented. Every morsel took us back to the much- cherished flavours of Kolkata. The service was excellent as well... Many thanks to the chef for such an incredible experience, and well done to the entire team! Lots of love, Freddie and Apurba

Utterly disappointing. I had ordered food for takeaway, not only one of the items had gone bad but the other item was not quite the same as it appeared on their menu.And on top of that, they were unresponsive , pretending to not know. Simply pathetic !

Highly recommended, we had a delicious range of both meat and vegetarian dishes. Exceeded expectations, we'll definitely be back

Highly recommended ! Had a wonderful experience with my family and friends. Good Hot Food; Excellent Service; pleasant ambience. Feeling of enjoying Kolkata delicacies in Thames Valley!

Amazing food. The Thalis are the ones to try for a complete taste of the Kolkata. Thank you Adda Hut for bringing back the nostalgic flavours. We needed this authentic Indian cuisine in this part of the world

I have been to Add Hut three times with friends and also family and find the management and staff very attentive, courteous and helpful. We relished the Freshly prepared hot Delicious food, Very clean environment, crockery presented with attention to detail, hygienic and sanitised toilet made the experience feel comfortable for our group of four friends. Soft and low volume Bollywood Music created a beautiful nostalgic ambience to accompany the food which was on our table at just the right moment. Will eat at Addahut again and highly recommend to those who like to savour quality delicious food from Kolkata Bengal/ East India. Overall a wonderful evening!

We have been visiting Adda Hut with our Bengali friends for a while now and it was something we used to really look forward to. However, on our last visit for the Jamai Sashthi buffet we were a bit disappointed with the quality of the food and so were our friends. We sincerely hope this message will be conveyed to your chef and every effort will be made to improve the quality to its former version.

Absolute gem of a place. Tried the non veg thali and found every single item to be authentic and 10/10 in taste. Service was top notch as well with even the owner checking up on us. Highly Recommended for those who are looking for an authentic Bengali food experience.

Food was okay and not that Great. This is my fourth time in this restaurant. Maybe next time we will try something else. Some parts of the fish had gone bad and had a very bad taste, maybe because it was frozen for a very long time, but never mind. The portion of the curry with the fish is really very small. I request the owner to check and ask himself this question. Everything else was okay. Maybe next time you guys will improve and we can have a great Dinner again. But I would rather spend £40 in an Italian or French Restaurant as the Curry was not that Good. There were 4 people perhaps from Kolkata or from West Bengal in the Restaurant but nobody greeted us nor ask anything about our experience. I am from Mumbai, India and lived quiet a while in Kolkata and I know the Bengali Culture very well, but this time it was a bad experience. Hopefully I will find a True Bengali Cuisine in the future in this Berkshire Region.

Excellent food! So good. Home made flavour. No tummy issues 100% go again Stay basic and humble Really good taste I had chicken on bone a little sweet and tomatoes for me but that's what it said in the description so my own fault. Would defo eat again. Good amount of meat you get what you pay for

A good authentic Bengali restaurant located 3 to 4 km is away from Reading Station. The restaurant space is quite good. It can accommodate 20 to 25 people. The quality years of the food is very good. We tried chicken Thali and fish Thali and both was up to the mark. It’s quite authentic- vegetarian Dal is a must try.

Staying away from kolkata, sometimes make you a bit nostalgic about missing out on all the street food/bengali home food that kolkata represents and I was one of the many who have been searching a lot for it... Adda hut is one such authentic bengali restaurant which I discovered a bit late inspite of it being quite close to my house, but a restaurant that I would definitely recommend for anyone who is missing bengali food in and around London. Must try would be their fish fry, radhaballavi, cholar daal, bhetki paturi, mishti doi. I have tried the fish thali and I would definitely vouch for it all day. The owners and staff were really very cordial and helpful. I am sure to come here on many more occassions with friends and family.

Amazing food. You could easily miss it and walk on by. Been there twice now. Really good.

Surprised by the quality of food - absolutely delicious . Authentic kolkata food - will easily beat some of the top restaurants in Kolkata in taste and quality. Friendly service and the owners were very nice and offered good suggestions This is definitely a hidden gem of Reading Keep it up !

Horrible experience. Delivery driver couldnt find the address. Got the order wrong, tried to phone and resolve the issue, no answer. Food of poor quality. Will never order from here again

Very nice food, authentic and delicious as well as the lovely staff and atmosphere in the restaurant

very nice atmosphere and great food, lovely staff and very friendly management

very friendly management and great atmosphere with delicious food and amazing staff, would recommend!!

Only dish that I liked was Topse fry. Luchis were a bit too hard for my liking and they don’t know how to cook Kosha mangsho or tawa. They served horrible box standard Bangladeshi curry instead! Prices were cheap

It should be recognised more often that when you go into a restaurant and the owner / manger / proprietor is sat tapping into his laptop on an unused table that the service will be - at best - dreadful. No exception here. Laptop boy watched as the disaster unfolded only getting involved when the bill arrived - he likes money. The food was acceptable and the restaurant is/was spotlessly clean but what isn't acceptable is waiting an hour and ten minutes for it to arrive whist all the takeaway orders fly out the door and take priority. £££ Sadly the guys running this place are motivated by money - not customer service. So they have no idea how to sort a situation when a family who has waited patiently yet the order is still incorrect and unfathomably late. We tried to explain but to no avail. These guys are fake clueless unless money is involved. So we paid full price for no service and all their mistakes then got them to package up our meal so we could go home and re-heat it adapt it and sort family hunger. All this was avoidable but sadly this group of people don't have the 'people skills' necessary to deliver it.

Great food!!authentic Bengali cuisine…excellent service.. love to come back

Glad to have this gem where you get rare Bengali cuisine. Delicious as usual.

Wow, fantastic Indian restaurant! It felt very authentic, they accommodated for our tastes (one preferred mild, one spicy, one without peanuts) really fab place, would recommend.

Amazingly authentic Bengali food- highly recommend the Mutton Biryani and the Mutton Kosha with Luchi. Just need a comfortable room nearby for a much needed post-lunch nap!

Second time we went there and got a big takeaway with main meals. I am very familiar with the food from West Bengal and have cooked it all my adult life, so maybe expectations were unrealistic. The starters were superb. Very authentic flavours, capturing the essential simplicity of West Bengal food. The chops and fish fry, especially, were excellent. The mains were disappointing, because they could easily have been so much better. The spicing was not bad, but the amount of oil spoilt it. Food from West Bengal is known to be very mild and low on oil and it was not nice to see oil floating on top of the food. It makes it heavier than it needs to be and interferes with the spicing. The service was lovely and very friendly. They even accommodated us by making a special dish to help with allergies for one our family . Lower the oil and you'll rock - this food is not available anywhere else.

Had the Vegetarian and non-Vegetarian thalis. Delicious!

Prebooked table for the evening to celebrate my sister's baby shower. Ordered fish thali for all, which is the cheapest option to taste a lot of different food at one go. We loved all the food, and a lot of us struggled to complete the thali on our own as the food quantity is more than adequate.

Staff Christmas night out, food was delicious and team very friendly and helpful.

We only ordered a home delivery but wanted to leave a review because the service was friendly and efficient and the food was delicious. Can’t wait to order again.

Food was delicious, authentic. A bit lacking in the ambience and service

Great service, excellent food and very welcoming owners.

Most Disappointed the place I have been to in my life ordered a Briyani but instead plain rice greasy as hell and then they put A huge dogs bone in the middle of the rice oh my gosh it was absolutely disgusting,customer service was shocking women couldn’t understand what we were trying to order we had to repeat ourselves so many times.never again.

not a great experience with the food though the host is friendly. Good: Ordered Paneer and Baigan Sabzi very tasty. Host is good too. Bad: Mango lassi, it was a blend of a Mango Juice and Yogurt we did not like it (owner didn’t charges us for that, which was a good gesture) disappointed with breads, as nans were brought from the local shop (heat and severed) and even the Paranthas were Haldiram’s frozen. Owner excepted after little confrontation.

Very warm hospitality by the owner. One always feels at home while dining at Adda Hut. The choice of spreads are very close to a Bong Heart.Always recommended.

Visited AddaHut a few times for the perfect Bengali cuisine. Tried a variety of dishes. Each one is better than the previous one. Fish fry, Kosha mangsho, Bhapa ilish, Paturi cannot be missed. Leave some space for the chanar payesh as well!

Food is always 10/10, great service and excellent food quality. Very very cheap !!!

Braved a 90min drive just on the word of mouth to visit AddaHut in Reading to find a true authentic Kolkata Cuisine and have since gone back multiple times. Starting from Shukto, Dhokar Dalna to Bhaapa Iilish and Kosha Mangsho, everything will remind you of the taste back home. And yes, Mishti Doi and Chhaanar payesh deserves a special mention!!!

Had a birthday party there, very well managed and helpful staff. The food was delicious and appreciated by all guests, would definitely recommend.

Excellent food - the best Indian restaurant in Reading. Good service, the owners are friendly, the staff are really helpful. -overall can't find any fault. I never tried Kolkata food before and really blown away by the taste and balance of flavour and spice. I will highly recommend this restaurant to anyone trying to explore authentic Indian food. Will surely visit again.

An interesting experience from a different part of India (bangalore) focusing on fish, mutton & chicken, big family sized tables and no cutlery (avaliable on request), we were made welcome and served by a man who was most helpful with the menu as little was recognisable, realy nice thought but be careful if you can't take the heat 🌶 So if you fancy a verry authentic experience please go and try and if you're bengali you will love it

Best Bengali (Kolkata Bangali cuisine) restaurant in Reading without a doubt. Light food full of flavors (no unnecessary overload of spicy elements). Staff behavior is very polite as well. Much much recommended.

We stopped for dinner on our way back from Cornwall to Harrow. We had Mutton Kosha, Bhapa Ilish, Luchi, etc. and enjoyed the food. Food was not very spicy and yet spicy enough to taste like bengali dishes from Kolkata. We will visit again when we can.

Food tastes just like it’s in Kolkata, we tried many items right from biriyani, radhaballavi, dhokar dalna, mutton rezala, misti doi, Bhetki paturi etc. All the items were lip smacking and cooked to perfection. It’s so nice to have authentic Bengali / Kolkata food in the UK, we shall return again.

It was an absolute bliss to have a pure Bengali restaurant in the UK. Food was amazing so as the services. Will definitely recommend.

Undeniably the most authentic Bengali food in the UK. With a very well-acclaimed chef at the helm and experience in the FnB/banquet industry for several years, Adda Hut delivers all that it promises. All dishes are absolutely delectable and hence, no special mentions required! Will go again and again, and then some more! :)

Delicious topse fry, pabda Jhal. Fish items are awesome!

Just had a wonderful lunch at Adda Hut. It was our first visit but it won't be our last.

Authentic and homely cooking You don't find many genuine Kolkata restaurants so it was great to find one. We tried a few of the fish dishes and each one tasted good. The meat dishes we had had their tasty masala spice, unlike in many restaurants where all the sauces taste the same. The price is reasonable and I would recommend Adda Hut if you want Kolkatan food experience.

Food price specially Ilish was extremely high- One piece of Ilish, no rice nothing cost you £11 which double the price of other restaurants and the taste was not good either.

Amazing food. Authentic Kolkata style food , fish fry and kasha mangsho were superb. Very friendly staff.

Best place to have Bengali / Kolkata cuisine. Hilsa was awesome. You will also get the famous Kolkata style Chicken / Mutton Biryani

Honest opinion, I hope this will drive improvement, the food was average. We ordered takeaway , the fish fry was very oily and barely any fish in it, the mutton chop was good, the quality of meat is poor and the kosha mangsho was bland, the tomato chutney was good, but very poor in terms of quantity. All in was very excited to finallyhave a bengali eatery but left a little unimpressed......revising this to 1 star as this place is mocking Bengali food, they served Kathi roll with Tortilla wraps!!!! And the response from owner was even awful...just stay away, such a shame they could have really kept up quality and charged extra I would have paid more happily

Authentic freshly prepared Bengali food.

Great place for authentic food at decent prices Highly recommended!

Was shopping in Woodley and saw this restaurant by chance and decided to give it a try. Went at lunch time. Very friendly and welcoming place. Ordered Calcutta Fish Fry - absolutely delicious. Calcutta Chicken Biryani which came with Raita in a separate bowl. The Chicken was on the bone but we didn't mind and was very tasty, Dal Puri which was light and fluffy and Kashmiri Alur to go with the Dal Puri. The Alur was so nicely spiced I couldn't stop eating it. To drink we ordered Salty Lassi and a jug of Water. They do not have alcohol licence. If you go in the Evening you can bring our own alcohol. Think they charge a small corkage. Conclusion - If you are a pretentious food snob you won't like it. However, if you like authentic, home cooked Bengali food, this is a must go to place. We are definitely going again.

Disappointed with the quality of food. This was the third time ordering food from this restaurant but this time we had a horrible experience. Ordered the prawns with posto and mustard - it extremely oily and spicy. Three out of four of us suffered from massive heartburn after eating oily item. Ordered the dhokar dalna too, the dhoka did not taste fresh - tasted like it was taken straight out of the freezer. This restaurant is not near where we live but we drive there to pick up the items as we crave for Bengali food - but after this last experience, we will stop ordering food from this place. Very disappointed!!! Don’t want to spend the kind of time, money that we did to get sick!!

The service is excellent and I found the environment very homely. Some of the items in the menu were something that I have been craving for ages and this will be a place that I shall visit more frequently. Those who are not familiar with Bengali dishes, I shall recommend Bhetki Paturi.

We recently had Birthday party of our son. Ordered food from Adda Hut. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food. I would highly recommend it.

This place is a hidden gem previously ordered an amazing chicken curry and today Lovely Calcutta Chicken Biryani really tasty and substantial portion. Chicken is boned but I guess that’s authentic much better fare than you’d get from haweli, jalpari etc

Was pleased with the food and service of Adda Hut … takes you back to authentic Kolkata food - very friendly and efficient service . Took two takeaways in the last two months - was not disappointed . Wish them all success

We went there for Holi special lunch. It was so delicious. We felt the exact taste of Kolkata there. I want to thank the cook for making these scrumptious foods. We also want to there for future festivals. Here I added the menu for Poila Boisakh (10 April 2022).

We decided to order party food from Adda Hut for our daughter’s rice ceremony. The quality and quantity of food and sweets was extremely good. All of our guests kept praising the food. Adda Hut’s food is the closest to Bengali cuisine I have had in UK. Special mention to the Fish Fry, Rui Kalia and Mishti Doi. We have also tried biriyani from them on a different occasion, perfect Bengali style biriyani. Highly recommended!
