I have been highly recommended to eat here by clients of mine. What can I say......it didn't disappoint! The food was incredible! The service was absolutely amazing! Ali and his team were very welcoming from the moment we entered to the minute we left, even opening the door for us on leaving! Great service, and great food! Great quality, freshly prepared food. We will definitely be returning ! Thankyou guys for making it such a great evening out ! Kind regards Aimee and Neil

From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left, we were treated like royalty. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly, but maintaining a professional attitude. The food, well other than saying it was amazing, cooked to our level of spice. A great selection, of everything anyone could want.

Visited as a group of 12. Upon arrival staff gave us a friendly greeting. After being shown to our table, staff were quick to bring out poppadoms and sauces. The food was delicious. I mixed Thai with Indian and it works !!! And there was a good amount of dishes to choose from. The drinks flowed, with the staff very attentive when glasses were near empty. And the bill was very reasonable. Overall a lovely evening.

They have changed from Waduds Indian to Waduds Indian Thai fusion but it works. Its a very clean restaurant with very helpful and attentive staff - it has a good mixed menu and the food served is excellent. Well worth a visit.

I love quality food, so OMG what a shock, this was probably one of the worse meals I’ve ever suffered!! Complete crap!! Crunchy sticky rice, sweet, sweet, sweet gloopy green and yellow curries. As far from authentic as you can get!! Run!! Run, run, run, SAVE YOURSELF!!!

Nice food, we ordered a takeaway online, it was ready for us when we arrived to collect it (they do deliver too) and it was piping hot. If you’re not keen on too much chilli flakes on your pad thai, it is added in a little pile on the top of the dish so you can easily remove and mix in just what you need. Or add a note when ordering that you want it without the chilli. The pad thai prawns were battered which I wasn’t expecting (I probably didn’t read the menu properly), but it was still nice. The thai green curry is a lot hotter than the menu would suggest, so if you don’t like heat go for something else but it had a lot of vegetables in it and looked great. Good to be able to have a mixture between indian and thai if different family members are in the mood for different things! The staff are really friendly so definitely give it a try!

What an absolutely brilliant restaurant! Greeted at the door and made to feel like VIP from start to end. The food here was incredible, great dishes inspired by Indian and Thai cuisine and expertly made by the kitchen. My Chicken Massaman curry was very tasty as was my starter of some freshly made vegetable spring rolls. Great drink selection, nice surroundings and very friendly staff - you really won’t go wrong here!

Just returned from having our Easter Day buffet lunch to celebrate my mum’s Birthday. The food was delicious and the staff were brilliant - very attentive and polite. They found out it was my mum’s birthday on arrival and surprised her at the end of the meal with a cake and candle, and the staff sang happy birthday which made mum’s day! Thanks again for a lovely meal. Would definitely recommend.

This afternoon, we decided to try out Wadud’s Fusion for their Sunday à la carte buffet. Despite passing by the restaurant countless times, I was intrigued by the positive reviews and finally decided to give it a try. The meal was absolutely fantastic, with delicious food and exceptionally friendly waiters who ensured everything was just right. I rated the service an 4 out of 5, and while the ambiance was lovely, it could be enhanced by adding some pictures or decorations on the walls. Additionally, I ordered a liqueur coffee with Cointreau, while my companions ordered theirs with brandy. However, I found it a bit odd that they received appropriate glasses for their drinks, while mine was served in a mug. It may seem trivial, but it would be nice if the table was cleared of any food debris before the next main course. Overall, it was a delightful afternoon, and we will definitely be returning in the future.
