TRG's chief executive Andy McCue said: "This transaction is an exciting and transformative opportunity to create a business which can pursue a truly multi-pronged growth strategy and create substantial value for our shareholders.
"Wagamama is a fantastic brand, with a market leading pan-Asian proposition, which has consistently outperformed the casual dining market in recent years."
Not unlike Nandos, Wagamama has a dedicated group of fans. For some, the news of the restaurant's takeover has sparked fears that the well-loved restaurant would change.
