What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Wama's Lounge offers a mixed dining experience. Many praise the authentic Mediterranean flavors, generous portions, and cozy shisha garden ambiance. However, some reviews highlight issues with slow service, disorganized operations, and unexpected billing practices, particularly for larger groups.
"Went for a relaxing dinner and that was what I got.
The food was a very high standard and didn't want to stop eating. Service was also great and it was over all a very relaxing and filling experience.
Can't wait to go back to try some other bits on the menu"

"The atmosphere and food here is perhaps the best quality that Kettering has to offer. The price and portion amount is amazing. I’ve came here multiple times with friends and every single time the customer service quality has been top notch.
I decided to give their new Turkey Rasher Carbonara a try today and I have to say that it is perfect, the creaminess of it isn’t over the top nor too little. My friend ordered the mix Shish and said that it is spot on, in terms of tenderness and flavor.
They also do have a Shisha Lounge which is also very relaxing as they also have heaters to keep us warm when it gets cold. You’re able to watch your Shisha get made, mix and match your flavors. It’s honestly just perfect.
Special thanks to the Owners, Steve and Megan for always giving their 100%. In my opinion, this is the No.1 Restaurant in all of Kettering and would highly recommend this to anyone who has yet to try this place out."

"I only had beverages there. The ambiance is delightful, particularly outdoors where smoking is permitted (your own or shisha). The staff is exceptionally friendly. It is currently my preferred establishment in Kettering.
The prices are reasonable; I paid 9 pounds for a cocktail."
