Why People Choose Waadiya
Waadiya was started by Nalin Jayaweera. He lived far from home for many years. Cooking helped him stay close to his roots. That's why every dish at Waadiya feels personal, not just another meal on a menu.
We are one of the few places that serve Indian and Sri Lankan food in Mount Waverley under one roof. You don't have to choose one cuisine. Order butter chicken and kottu roti at the same table. Both taste just as good.
What to Order
Butter Chicken & Naan Soft chicken in a creamy tomato sauce, served with fresh naan. Simple, rich, and always a crowd favourite.
Kottu Roti Chopped flatbread cooked with veggies, egg, and your choice of meat. Full of spice and flavour. A true taste of Sri Lankan street food.
Tandoori Lamb Chops Lamb chops marinated in yogurt and spices, then grilled. Served with fresh herb chutney on the side.
Hopper Train Fresh hoppers, served one after another, all night. A fun dish that’s great for sharing with friends or family.
Indo-Chinese Dishes Love spicy, saucy food? Try our Indo-Chinese dishes. They mix Chinese cooking style with South Asian spice. Bold, fast-fired, and full of flavour.
Signature Grilled Meat Platter A platter of perfectly grilled meats with bold South Asian spices. Great for sharing at the table. Looks great, tastes even better.
Seafood Platter Fresh seafood, cooked with the same care as our grills. Perfect if you’re after fine dining seafood in Melbourne’s south-east.

One guest wrote that the butter chicken was silky and soft, and the lamb rogan josh was full of flavour. Our hot butter cuttlefish was also a hit alongside the curries. Real reviews like this show what you can expect when you visit.
