Description

Abida offers a varied selection of Indian and Thai cuisine, with highlights including freshly cooked dishes and accommodating service. Diners appreciate the friendly staff and BYOB option, making it a favorite for family outings. However, recent reviews reveal significant issues, such as inconsistent flavors, delayed deliveries, and missing items from orders, leading to disappointment among many patrons. While some commend the quality and portion sizes, others lament a noticeable decline in service and taste compared to its opening days. As Abida works to resolve these challenges, it remains a contender worth considering with caution.

Our first visit for a family get together and it was wonderful! Food was delicious, excellent range of choices, good value and the staff were friendly and attentive. Lovely atmosphere, comfortable and clean and we loved the pristine white table linen. Would highly recommend and definitely hope to go back when next in the area.

The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is wonderful. They offer a fantastic selection of dishes at reasonable prices. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great curry – it makes for a very enjoyable dining experience!

I dined here on a Tuesday night when there was only one other guest, so it was quite peaceful. We chose several dishes from the tapas-style menu for our group of four. All the curries we sampled were delightful, with well-cooked lamb and chicken and a nice variety of spice levels. I would definitely recommend the food. However, the chairs were somewhat uncomfortable!

We had a fantastic experience at the restaurant. Our group of six reserved the small function room, which turned out to be perfect for our needs. We were able to relax, enjoy our meal, and chat comfortably while listening to the music. The service was outstanding; I truly couldn't find anything to criticize.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal in Abida, it was just such a shame that the restaurant seemed so empty. When we arrived at 7 there were a few other diners but I don't think anybody arrived after us and we were the only people left well before the end of our meal. I don't really understand why because we all loved it.
