The food was superb and plentiful. I knew what to expect from a previous visit but many of our guests did not. All commented on the wonderful food and staff, all saying they would definitely return. Many thanks for helping to create such an amazing memory for us all!!

I've visited this restaurant three or four times already and every time it's the same experience: 1) We get served quickly. 2) The food is absolutely fantastic. 3) The portions are so generous we end up taking food home with us. My wife and I have tried different dishes every time and we've always been pleasantly surprised with how tasty the food is. Can't recommend this place enough, we'll be coming back!

Best Turkish I have ever eaten. The staff were super friendly and attentive and were so welcoming. The food was so great that even though we were only in st Ives for four nights we ended getting takeaway from this restaurant on our last day. Only bad thing was knowing we are going back to Australia and won’t get to eat this delicious food again!

One of the fastest meals out I've had in a very long time. The service was excellent, and the staff were super friendly, but the food was served at a grand prix pace. We were in and out within an hour. Sadly, the chicken shish was rather chewy, but the Lamb Guvec was very tender - not very herby, though. It was reasonably pricey at just under £30pp with 2x starters, 2x mains, and 1x glass of wine. And there was a 10% gratuity added to the bill. I'm sorry to be so negative when there are so many excellent reviews. I just want to give sn alternative to the glowing reports in case I'm not alone in being disappointed by various aspects of our experience this evening. The one thing that was excellent was their understanding of gluten-free. I loved my GF bread at the beginning of the meal and the care taken by the waiter so that I didn't feel left out or short-changed.

As I am vegan we decided to have lunch here & I'm so pleased we chose Vadi. Everything, & I mean everything about this restaurant is excellent. Food quality is superb. Fresh, aromatic, executed perfectly. As a vegan I eat a lot of falafels & I can honestly say these are by far the most delicious I have ever tried...and I have certainly eaten a ton in my lifetime! My husband had salmon & couldn't believe how succulent & well flavoured it was. The place was spotless. The waiter was charming, friendly & so efficient & the ambience excellent. Will definitely revisit next time we are in the area. What a gem!

Authentic Turkish food served in a warm atmosphere by welcoming staff. We greatly enjoyed the quality of the food and the generous proportions. We ate kebab, lamb and moussaka dishes, all of which were delicious and came with sides and salad. The moussaka with aubergines and plentiful ground meat was outstanding. The Turkish beer in stubby bottles was good too. We finished the meal with baklava and Turkish coffee served in delightful silver cups. Will definitely go again.

I have eaten here many times before and the food on this visit was excellent as always. We were with another 6 friends for a catch up and my wife’s birthday. One of my friends is in a wheelchair thank you to the two gentlemen from the Valdi Kitchen that helped him in and out of the door. Starters came quickly once ordered plates were cleared away then very quickly the main course arrived. Others have mentioned being rushed but I had never experienced this until this visit. We were rushed and this did definitely spoil our night out. Having booked our table for 8pm we were out by 1015, the opening hours state they close at 11pm. So we might visit again but it will be earlier so we can leave when we want to.

Visited on a Monday evening around 7pm - busy even then. Starter of hummus with lamb was really good - but the mixed shish kebab I had for main course was outstanding. The chicken pieces were good, the lamb was amazing. Next time (which will probably be soon...) I'll just stick to the lamb. We were lucky to get the table right by the grill, so we could see the magic happen.

Went here for an adult family dinner tonight. Two ordered the moussaka and the rat shared the Vadi special. We are from Australia and this is the best Turkish we had including in Perth. The quantities were plentiful and the food was fabulous. We finished with coffees and they were all good as well. We have found coffee in England to be a bit variable so did enjoy decent coffee here. The only slight criticism was that some of the staff came across as a bit grumpy but I put this down to a full restaurant and being busy. The food was very tasty and all meat was cooked over coals which gave it a wonderful taste. Would recommend this restaurant.

Great Turkish food with great service. My lamb ribs had a lovely flavour and were good quality, the only thing I would say was they were quite salty and needed some sort of dressing. But I would give the food 4.5 stars as everyone else said their food was spot on. Can get noisy when full but that's up to you if you think it adds or detracts from the atmosphere.

Complimentary bread and dips were brought to the table which was a nice touch but be warned, don't eat too much or you won't finish your meal. We ordered mixed shish and a mixed kebab, both meals were huge. Salad was brought in a side bowl for us to share. Staff were very friendly and food delicious so I would definitely return if I visited St Ives again

Ordered a takeaway from here last night. Food was OK tasting, nothing special. Portion were absolutely tiny! We spent 60 pounds for 2 of us to eat and had to cook more after because we were still hungry. We has the meze for 2 and chefs special kebab. There was hardly any meat in the kebab. There are other local places which are much better quality, at least double the portion size and all for much less money

The first time 4 of us went there they seemed decent enough, food was 4 stars, so I rebooked but had to cancel 3 days before, when I called up to cancel, they just grunted a half ok and hung up! How rude is that?! So hence the 1 star. It doesn't take much to politely say "thank you for calling and letting us know". I could have just not bothered to turn up. Guess they won't be on my list to revisit. Your loss not mine.
