Nusara in East Dorset

4 went for dinner, decided to share small plates as they all looked delicious. Ordered 12 small plates between us which was plenty. The ribs and beef dishes were my favourite and so tender. Prawns were huge and the springrolls particularly tasty as were the thai fishcakes. I would definately go again. 4 beers, 1 coke lge glass of wine and 12 dishes came to £177 which included £16 service charge which was optional. The girls that served us were lovely and very helpful when choosing our dishes so really didn't mind the £4 each service charge. Atmosphere was pumping for a Wednesday night which speaks volumes and the interior design tasteful & elegant.

Fantastic food & waitress was excellent 👌

Me and my wife entered the restaurant yesterday. I could see that there were empty tables and some tables with people at them. We stood at the entrance and one of the staff kept moving back and forward and no body said anything to us. My wife went to talk to the women behind the bar and she said “we’re busy”, no just give us a moment. Really rude and this is something they need to grow in, being polite. I would highly suggest to the staff working there. Please be kind to everyone.

Great food. Great service. Good sized portions, especially the ribs

The food is really nice. The chili broccoli was too sweet for us, hoped it would have a bit of a kick with it. Agree with other comment about tables for two being too small for the plates. Only issue, there was a 12% service charge added for only 2 people. I get adding it for more than 6 people, but for 2, we both found it wrong. I know it can be removed, but we only noticed it after we paid - and left a 10% tip.

Good food but the most disgusting service I have ever experienced. The staff attitude was truly awful and ruined our evening. Will never return to this restaurant and would strongly advise others to go elsewhere.

This place has really nice food, lots of delish options, my favorite is the Chicken Penang, but we've tried quite a variety! Good service, good atmosphere.

Another wonderful lunch. Was superb and excellent staff. Food was amazing. Highly recommend 2 course lunch for £15. High quality food and service. Thank you.

My family treated me on Father's Day, and this fantastic restaurant never fails to deliver sumptuous food and drinks. The service, as always, was excellent and attentive. I am looking forward to our next visit and to trying something new from the menu.

It was our first visit to this restaurant, which had been highly recommended. On arrival, the restaurant was fairly quiet. We were shown to a corner table facing a wall with a black partition to one side. We asked to be moved, which we were. Before we sat down, we were asked if there were any allergies, we said no and asked if we wanted prawn crackers. We had just sat down, and the crackers were there. We were not offered any drinks at this stage. We asked for the wine list. The wine came and was lovely. We ordered our started and main course, and the starter was on the table in no time at all. They tried to clear our table before we had finished our starters. When we had finished the starters, I asked if we could have 10 minutes before the main course. A few minutes later, the food arrived. The food was very good. As the restaurant filled up, it was extremely noisy, to the extent I had to take off my hearing aids. There was little time for conversation, we felt rushed from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The staff were very young and inexperienced. The food was very good, but we will not be returning to this restaurant.

Went for weekday lunch. Nice options on the set lunch menu (2 courses for £15), but we didn’t fancy it so chose off the main menu - green curry with prawns and massaman lamb shank. Both cooked to perfection. Fragrant and lovely flavours. It was our first time here. Very nice decor and atmosphere inside. Nice spaces outside to sit too with umbrellas for shade. Service was brilliant. Lovely friendly staff, especially Ash! We look forward to returning and trying more delicious food.

Truly amazing experience. Very cozy and friendly. Food was mega awesome. Fully recommend the place. 👍

The duck leg penang curry was great.

Wow! What a place! The food blew our minds. It was the best food I ever had. Starting from the starter and main was top tier. Some amazing skilled Chefs work there.

First time dining at Nusara and thoroughly enjoyed the food, and would especially commend the service. We were served by Ash who was particularly charming and helpful with a vegetarian and a dairy free diet. Absolutely recommended.

Great friendly service, table/chair and seating arrangement of low quality. I ordered the roast duck but it was like eating a bowl of sugar… far too sweet and I couldn’t continue eating it.

Best Thai food I've ever had. Highly recommended 👌

Love the place although becoming overpriced. Spent the evening watching men not knowing that their toilet is downstairs. Toilets need to be clearly labelled!

Beautifully presented delicious food. The staff are knowledgeable & welcoming. Can't wait to go back soon!

Delicious, 10/10 flavours and great service.

Came here for a Mother's Day dinner and it firmly secured my spot as the favourite child. Food is next level, the colours, the taste, the presentation and not to mention the service from Ash was the perfect level of attentive mixed with a fun & bubbly personality. Looking forward to returning to try something else!

A lovely meal celebrating a friends birthday. Attentive staff, amazing chefs creating superb tasty food. Can’t wait to go back

Superb food, the monkfish was especially excellent. Tamzin looked after us brilliantly. I will definately return soon!

Tamsin was great, she really made our experience. Food was unreal we can’t wait to come back!!! The lamb was unbelievable

This is a delightful hidden away restaurant. Food is authentic and very good across a number of options. Staff very attendant and pleasant. Good ambience with a few round tables too! Value satisfactory (I never say good tbf). Recommend this place!

This was my first visit and I have to say it was a delightful experience. The standard of hosting, the ambience and the food did not disappoint and were all of high standard. In addition to this the food was authentic with a very good menu of options. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Love the ambiance inside, my pad Thai was delish plus super quick and friendly service, shout out to our waiter lily! Will definitely come again

The food and service was brilliant and Lily was amazing and awesome. The restaurant is great and we expect to come here again

Went out for a meal with some friends and the food was great! There was a nice atmosphere and we received amazing service from Jess.

Finally went to this restaurant last Saturday - previously only had Takeaways! It has a lovely atmosphere, staff are great, very friendly , providing excellent service. The food was delicious, there was four us and we ordered a few starters to share and all of us had different mains - excellent.

Really disappointed. Visit or order from this restaurant several times a month and they encourage takeaways. Called tonight to place an order and they are too busy to take orders for takeaways. Told yo call back in an hour which I did and was then told yo call back after another hour. Appalling service. Not great when you invited friends over for a Thai takeaway and have recommended the restaurant to everyone in the village.

Lovely authentic Thai food, very generous portions and extremely pleasant staff. I had the jungle curry which was satisfyingly hot 🌶🌶

We came here for our wedding anniversary. Lovely atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff. Good vegan, gf options. Our food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back again soon. Thankyou AJ 🙏

Great food, friendly service. 👌🏻🙂

My wife and I really enjoy our visits here the food is delicious and good quality looking forward to the next time

There was excellent food, service and atmosphere. Cannot recommend highly enough we will be back soon.

Superb food. Excellent choice of both food and drinks. Service was amazing too. Lovely buzzy atmosphere. Recommend the Thai sea bass

Absolutely amazing service and delicious food the staff were very friendly and the general atmosphere was brilliant

Brilliant food, excellent customer service. As there were 14 of us, they even did us individual tabs by couple so people could pay for what they had. Would definitely recommend

Showed up here for lunch. Place was a bit dead to start but quickly started to fill. The lunch deal is great value. Delicious food and great service. Entrees were on the spicy side for my mum and wife, but I enjoyed the challenge.

Food is amazing and staff are great

I have to say the staff at Nusara out did themselves! We ordered on Deliveroo and the Pad Thai came wrong. I rang them up and they made every effort to replace it with the correct one! The food is probably one of the best in the area would 100% buy from here again!

Delicious food, superb service and a great atmosphere on New years Eve. Thank you for another wonderful evening.

Couldn't fault it. The food was simply excellent and the service matched. I hope they continue to be wellpatronised.

Had the set lunch menu, we all ordered different starters and mains - not a scrap of food left on any of the plates. Service first class too. Fantastic

Never been before. Dropped in for lunch with my daughter. Absolutely first class. I am from a very rural village around 16 miles away but will definitely return. In fact I’ll probably book a table for 6 or 8 and make an evening of it...

The food was great but had to put up with a noisy table. Other wise all was fine.

Excellent meal - food was delicious. Ambience very good too. Great news that they are in Wimborne. Will definitely return!

Very pleasant restaurant, excellent authentic Thai food and superb service. Will definitely visit again.

This is a lovely little restaurant in a secluded part of the square that I visited for lunch with my family. The staff were very friendly, the menu is inclusive with vegetation and vegan options available, as well as a range of spice factors, and...

We went here for our early works Christmas dinner. It's a really pretty and cosy place. Food was very good. No msg which sold it to me. We will definitely go again.

The most delicious, authentic Thai curry! My husband and I visited Nusara for the first time this Sunday lunch and were delighted with our meal and experience, highly recommend and we will certainly be back for more. The restaurant was clean and really chilled, such...

Very disappointing takeaway and overpriced for what you get! Because of good reviews I ordered prawn thad Thai. Not all worth £16. Didn’t taste Thai but more like a pasta dish. Will not be returning

We visited as a couple recently, the restaurant is beautiful and the food was simply delicious. Staff great and very attentive. Warning to others...the table next to us did get curtly told they had 5 mins left of their 90 min slot so drink up!...

Mega expensive for what you get . Food OK but not good value . Went on a Saturday night but nothing to get excited about

Ordered take away and fancied spending the extra money to have Nusara over other local Thai restaurants. The portion sizes are absolutely disgraceful. I'm all for quality over quantity but I feel like I've just been robbed. Twice the price for half the amount of food from anywhere else locally. The food was nice but no where near worth the money.

From the warm and friendly welcome to the fantastic food, we had a great evening meal. All the food is fresh and served piping hot (except for the one dish that was meant to be cold, of course!) and the staff were always on hand...

Needed a last minute table for a late dinner and they were very welcoming and sorted us out straight away. Great service from the lovely ash ! We had a beautiful meal and perfect margaritas. Thank you!

Having eaten in Thai restaurants before I was looking forward to the experience, ethnic atmosphere,Thai music at a pleasant volume in the background. What my party got was anything but. The music was loud western country rock and although asked to be turned down was not. The food was good and the service fine, but conversation had to be so loud to be heard it became tiring. Such a shame.

Great food, super staff….. but unfortunately the music is SO SO LOUD you cannot hold any form of conversation with anyone. The staff apologise profusely but say that the owner insists on the high volume. Such a great shame when the food is so good.

Great food, friendly staff and it would be a great place to eat…..but unfortunately the music is so incredibly LOUD one cannot hold any form of conversation with your fellow diners. The staff apologise profusely but apparently the owner insists on this volume. Such a shame!

The food is fabulous. Nice selection of cocktails at sensible prices, really well presented too. The menu choice is good, not lots of pages of random dishes, but a good selection of great Thai dishes. My only minor negative is the tables for 2 are very small, so when you order multiple dishes and wine that had to sit in a cooler on your table you have very little room left. We will visit again for sure...

Great food and really friendly service, but... Not wanting to sound too Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen but the place is in desperate need of some soft furnishings. It is so hard to hear in this place with all the hard surfaces bouncing the noise around. Having a conversation over a lovely meal was almost impossible.

Came in once again with my lovely wife Jaclyn and our friend. We were served by two lovely ladies, Kia and Anna. The £15 lunch menu is a bargain, was a little apprehensive at first given the fact that its priced less for starters AND...

Very attentive staff and lovely food. Nothing was too much trouble. Very impressed. Very clean and warm and dietary requirements catered for.

Couldn’t get in the restaurant tonight, so decided to get a takeaway. Absolutely brilliant, all ordered different meals - all gorgeous! Can’t wait to go to the restaurant but will certainly be ordering a take out again. If I could rate it more than 5...

A really nice restaurant, food was good, service excellent for me was just a bit too noisy as itvis a small place and quite a few big groups.

Fantastic Food Fantastic Service Fantastic Staff Loved it and will be back Food was so delicious and fresh and so tasty Staff knew exactly what each other were doing A real pleasure

Perfect food, very attentive table service without being obsequious in any way. We enjoyed a beautiful lamb shank and wine choices very good. 100% recommend

Good food and service. Only downside 10% service charge, which is optional which is already added on the bill. like to give a tip, not expecting it to already added. That said, really good. Would recommend

One of the best Thai meals I have ever had, great staff and great service in very pleasant surroundings.

The restaurant was near our hotel, in the town centre, but tucked away. It was closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but very busy the rest of the week, so might be best to book. Staff were friendly and efficient and food looked and tasted great.

Went Friday evening. With allergies, eating out is often tricky. The staff at Nusara were absolutely amazing! They provide an allergy menu, which you can see in advance if you call up. The way they handled it meant I was 100% confident in what I was eating. The food was also absolutely delicious ! Thank you to all the staff at Nusara

Lovely food at very reasonable prices, but please play more suitable music, Thai would be nice !

Lovely clean restaurant and toilets , food was great tasting and authentic . Our second visit today , only thing that puts me off going again is the awful music . It as a Thai restaurant not a nightclub!

Great meal and service yet again and the cocktails looked amazing, especially the chocolate martini. We will be back… again

Average food expensive for small portions. Greasy tables. Very noisy unable to hold any conversation. Will not be returning very disappointing. Restaurant was full so other people obviously satisfied.

Another fabulous meal, we had the slow cooked ribs again, I had duck special & delicious. Looking forward to returning again

Such a lovely evening at Nusara. The service was impeccable and the food was fab. Our favourite dishes were the chicken satay skewers and the salmon fillet Thai curry - mmmm delicious. Would definitely recommend.

We tried Nusara as it has an early evening pre-theatre set meal deal for £15. The staff were all very sweet, friendly and efficient. The food was good, although my choices were a little spicier than I had expected. It was nice to get a...

Absolutely superb on all counts. Speed and friendliness of service - 10/10 Value for money - 10/10 Quality of food 10/10. I had the Express Lunch - £10 for a starter and main course. Absolutely fantastic - taste and portion size superb, incredible value for...

The restaurant is lovely, inviting, clean and well presented. The ample staff are all excellent and the quality of the food is incredible. Now added to our ‘special occasion’ list of places to go. I’m looking forward to sampling all of the menu over coming...

Lovely atmosphere, friendly helpful staff.

Went for lunch with some friends to celebrate a birthday. Good location in the center of Wimborne within easy reach of numerous car parks. Friendly staff, great food, plenty of choices. Certainly recommend the restaurant for lunch. Will love to visit for an evening meal...

The food was delicious, we had starters, mains and deserts. The prawn crackers are the best we've ever tasted. Alexis, our waitress was just lovely, attentive, patient and very kind and helpful in helping us decide what to eat. The atmosphere in the restaurant was...

Amazing staff!! Polite, friendly, efficient , nothing too much trouble. Fantastic food. Will definitely be going again.

The Thai food was amazing, the staff were really nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend if in the Poole area.

Nicely presented internally, small but perfectly formed menu. Still welcoming later in the evening with no reservation on a wet and windy Wednesday in Wimborne! Food was delicious - a lovely impromptu dinner. Just wanted to compliment the team but specifically Ash who showed great...

We chose Nusara Thai to celebrate a family birthday and it was an excellent choice. The food was absolutely amazing and professionally served by Emily and Lily, both of whom were very knowledgeable and helpful. Anna was also very helpful about a wine choice. Will...

Excellent Thai food. Attentive and quick service. This place is buzzing with so many marvellous dishes being enjoyed in the busy restaurant. Booking recommended. We will definitely be back when we return to Wimborne.

We recently discovered Nusara after not realising it had been open in the courtyard since August last year and thought we would check it out. So glad we did! The food was amazing, some of the best Thai food we have had in a long time, would highly recommend the ground chicken salad parcels starter. Service was great, food was quick to come and the atmosphere was great upstairs. Will definitely be coming here again. Now one of our new favourite places to eat in Wimborne.

We had the best tia meal last night staff were absolutely fantastic and well the food was the best tai meal we’ve ever eaten 100% will be back Well done guys

Great food and well priced for the lunch menu.

I don't like a waiter who rearranges my food on the plate with his grubby fingers! And then denies it when we all saw it happen. Staff training in basic hygiene needed here.

The food was delicious, we had starters, mains and deserts. Alexis, our waitress was just lovely, attentive, patient and very kind and helpful in helping us decide what to eat. The atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed and friendly. Extremely good value for money. Would certainly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Had a fabulous evening celebrating my birthday . Food was amazing . Our waitress Ash was SO happy friendly, knowledgeable and helpful . We will be back !

We have a great time, the food was delicious and staff friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, my friend has a nut allergy and they had noted it from the booking and asked straight away on arrival and confirmed it wouldn’t be a problem. The atmosphere was relaxed and informal, just how we like it, we will definitely be back.
