It was alright, food was generally nice but i was disaapointed by the choice, no japanese, basic dishes like chilli, korma, lasagne,spag bol and chicken balls were not on the menu so the kids were limited to cheese pizza and garlic bread, it was ok but not going to bother going back to be fair.. will stick to reku zen, atleast they cover the basics!
Went there on Mothers day with family, having a confirmed table for 20:00. Arrived 5 minutes to 20:00 Had to wait for 30 minutes before table was allocated inspite of being 5th ( 25 people ) on the list of people who where confirmed for 20:00 to 22:00 slot we were 2nd last to be allocated a table. While being led to the table I asked the name of the manager. For asking his name he got pissed, showed loads of attitude, and another of his staff member even assaulted me. I called the police and registered a complain. The manager than not only lied, but to my surprise told the police the CCTV was not working for 2 months. Would not send my dog to your place Mr Ali. <--- most disgusting man I have met in the last 12 years in the food business. Couldnt give Zero Stars
So delicious. The good was amazing and staff were very polite.
Good atmosphere and friendly service. Possibly the best restaurant in terms of value for money
Love the food - dishes from all different countries - open buffet so u can tey as much or as little as you want! There needs to be more of these redtaurants!
Be careful when going downstairs to the toilet. Very slippery. Food was ok.
Food was inedible, the staff looked miserable and didn't explain anything, just told us to go up whenever we want, complained to the manager about the lack of decent food only to get laughed at, disgusting service and food, wouldn't go back even if you paid me, would not recommend to anyone at all.
This site is my number one place. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. when I I need a fair dinner, this is the place that comes straight to my mind. exeptionalgorgeous and all sorts of food and a large list of dishes.professional team, and good atmosphere. Not less important, the pay is fair. I recommend this place with no doubt.
I celebrated my birthday yesterday in this great restaurant. I am glad to say that we had a cool evening and the place was definitely one of the reasons for the happy celebration. The stuff contributed in a splendid way, the meals were tasty and my buddies were very cheerful. We shall definitely visit again for more celebrations. Thank you very much.
Decent food but not worth the money. There are a few different selections but don't think I would go back.
Went here on 25 August for my birthday with family. Food was utterly disgusting! What a massive mistake. Cold, rotten, salty, simply vile. Never ever again. This was our first time and last. Felt like we were ripped off.
Nothing special, overpriced. If not groupon never will go there.
Very good selection of various cuisines. Wine competitively priced and a good selection. Sheldon the manager was an excellent host, explaining the set up to us as it was our first time at the venue. It will be a place to return to on a regular basis
Staff were brilliant and friendly. There were 6+ little kids in our party. So was very loud. Staff were very helpful & at our service before we even asked for help. Definitely recommend. Food was lovely also! Lots of variety! Happily go again. It was my mums birthday, they helped with the cake and played birthday music it was very nice!
Food was cold and cheap! Not worth the money it's not nice
Lovely place with very pleasant staff. The head chef, Mohan, has always made my family feel welcome and special. Good priced Pan-Asian menu.
None of the food was hot, Caribbean rice and peas was hard and uncovered all of the other rice was suitably covered. Smallest chicken drumsticks in the world. There was a lack of choice in the evening. Vegetarian or fish dishes lacking. Would be nice to see some green veg somewhere. Also my feet were sticking to the floor.
High variety off food from Europe to Far East Asia. I love all you can eat buffet's and I visit a lot of them. Unfortunately even though it seems that there is a lot of food to suit everyone's taste I could not find much to suit my taste (except for the fresh made pancakes, children would love them). Prices are a bit high, but great service and the restaurant has a top standards fell.
I don't no where to start the food was cold the curry was very oily the Chinese was very sweet the service was very be for a beer to get to the table 45 minutes food was no taste what a waste of money never again
Lovely taste of food you should try it definitely the staff was very friendly and warm hearted.
Nice food, staff were lovely, manager was a lovely guy.
Unfortunately the food here has really gone downhill and they only seem to offer Indian, Mexican and Chinese now, however I recall them offering many other cuisines a few years back, getting to the toilet is like an obstacle course, and the ice-cream machine is too cold that it crystallises as opposed to being like a whippy ice-cream.
I like it here.
Had several meals and parties here.
Food is always good and always a large variety
Not really impressed, and these my reasons:
1. Food cold
2. The food containers empty for too long
3. Liked the rice and peas and Curry Goat, but too spicy.
4. The cakes; awful!
5. The custard container....oh man!!!!We had to get them to refill it....disgusting.
2 stars.....because of the curry Goat.
Essentially, not a good night, I'm afraid.
Despite there being some bad reviews we gave Buddha kitchen the benefit of the doubt.
We honoured our teenage sons request to go there for his birthday.
The staff are friendly and polite, but unfortunately thats where the good service the positives end.
We had no service after we were seated. No one came to our table and said anything.
They have a good rang of different foods, but sad to say that alot of it is not fresh and not very nice at all. The dessert area is very boring and had very little to offer.
But for me the main complaint is the amount of flies there were. It was horrible. They are everywhere.
In the disabled toilet that is right next to the dessert area was full of flies. All over the walls and people kept using and then leaving the toilet door open so the flies would fly out and around all. We was desperate to get out of there.
Unfortunately we won't be returning and sadly all the bad reviews were indeed true.
Such a shame.
Good place and food. I visited it on a Saturday eve and it was very busy and noisy.
Good for families, plenty of staff to help out good variety.
OK Meal. Prices high for what it was. Drinks were very highly priced making an expensive meal
THIS RESTAURANT GAVE ME FOOD POISING !!! STAY AWAY !! There are plenty of other places to eat in Bromley. I went there for the first time on Boxing Day. At first I was like this restaurant is pretty decent. Then I tried their prawns which was strangely cold ? I continued trying different things as it is a buffet. I started getting severely bad cramps as I left the restaurant.. this continued for the rest of the day. In the night it all came up & I was unable to sleep/ go work the next morning.
Not impressed, to me the food was tepid, seemed a small selection, I felt it was like a school canteen
Good customer service. Options and some food cooked to order
It is a very nice place,good food. I think I fell in love with the blonde waitress:)))....see you soon
Service was friendly. Unfortunately food was just mediocre. It had at bit of everything. Just needs one really good stand out dish with good flavour.
It's a great place to dine for eating as much as you like.
The hot dishes ( Chinese and Indian) are tasty, the salad bar has good selection but the hummas left out too long you can see the colour change. The cooking station is also good however the rice noodle was hard as you can see and even though they left it out with soaking in water to keep the moist but some of the rice noodle when cooked was still hard. Not really impress.
The steak and chicken grill wasn't its best, after the meat being grilled it shrunk double the size and you can taste the steak having a sour taste. So again abit disappointed in that.
The pizza was good.
The dessert wasn't as great as some parts have been left out for quite sometime and the custard had run out so you had to wait for it to come out so instead went for thier apple crumble which was OK, the black forest gateau was tasty and the ice cream was nice. Some stations are quite messy which I was surprised at the chef behind the cooking station didn't really keep on top of it.
The staff was intentive and was busy, overall experience was OK but not the best, I don't think I would be going back in a hurry.
But do try it if you haven't been.
All the poor reviewers are self important types who you can spot a mile away. They are the people who are influenced by brand identity etc. Noisy overbearing and best avoided.
The quality of Buffet restaurants in the UK is generally poor and not comparable to international hotels and places likes Vegas. Having said that the place is modern, clean and the staff are attentive, removing dirty plates when you select a new type of cuisine - the service charge is optional and we declined to pay it - it's a self service restaurant and IT'S OPTIONAL.
For those who understand the beat the buffet equation - i.e eat only the crab legs, you are not going to win. That is to say the selection is varied and has an international feel but not high end expensive dishes. there is a live station and dishes are made fresh to order. I thought it was expensive but only on par with other buffets - the selection is varied and typical of cruise ship buffets. good value, nice decor
Dirty and disgusting. Zero food hygiene rating has just been given by food standards agency in August. Stay away!
Serves good selection of indian, chinese Italian & mexican frozen food from Iceland supermarket i suppose. Not my kinda buffet place.
Plus point
Friendly and attentive staff.
For desserts they have a fairly good selection. That's about it.
Lovely, so versatile and accommodate s large groups without a problem.
They need to work on the beef In black bean and the service charge conversation is really awkward when it's a one prove eat all you can place ...staff seem to feel obligated to ask when it's better if the customer decided by themselves
Eat as much as you like, reasonable price and food was good. Nice ambience for families.
Lovely taste of food. The staff was very friendly and warm hearted.
Decent prices, Could do with changing the downstairs toilets and making it more welcoming and hygienic
Wish they refreshed the dessert area as well, it's dried up and the marshmallows were crunchy. But the rest was good!
Stuff ok. Dont really like the way manager is watching you all the time.
I'm going to start with some positives! Buddha Kitchen is roomy (good for larger groups) and the staff are helpful. However, I haven't eaten here for several years and, in my opinion, it has gone downhill. I understand that mass-produced food is never going to be Michelin star standard, but a couple of items were actually tasteless (the hummus, for example). The Chinese and Indian dishes were decent but vegetarian options were limited. The dessert selection was OK and, if you do visit, the brownies and the pancake station get my vote. I feel indifferent about Buddha Kitchen. It's not good and it's not bad either. It could be better with some investment in quality ingredients and I don't think that customers would mind paying a little extra for a better tasting experience.
It felt like everything was just chicken. Gone down since changing name from Buddha Belly. Staff were pleasant and attentive.
Fresh food, tasted amazing (all 5 plates!) and the staff were all brilliant. Exceptional service and they were so good with the kids. Kids can't wait to come back.
Nice place. Staff was very attentive and is a good place for a buffet. Reasonable priced. Would go again
Gud variety of food service is very slow for a buffet!!
I came here Tuesday. The staff was lovely . The food was ok, but not hot and looked like it had been sitting there all day. Quite expensive aswell for what it is. Since last night I have had severe diarrhea and sickness . I ve eaten nothing else except two small slices of small whole meal toast. So I m under no illusion that the only place I have got food poisoning from is here. I m currently in bed really unwell. Stay away from here is my advice !
I would definitely give 0 stars if possible as myself and my family went in and was told we were not welcome. The manager/owner was rather rude and insulting due to a child being classed as an adult on the previous visit asking for proof of the child's age. They do not advertise their age range as child being 10 and it was a simple misunderstanding. Due to this he was happy to admit to being disrespectful towards myself and my family. I would not pay to go in there again to be treated this way, you should still receive good service when there is a misunderstanding.
I visit this great restaurant a lot! This is my favorite place to to have a good dinner. I go there at least once a month. The cooking is just great, the team is helpful and the cost is affordable. I enjoy eating in this restaurant over a rich dinner.
Staff were lovely food was great , to be fair was a bit apprehensive when booking but turned out great !
Delicious food, fantastic service and brilliant atmosphere at Buddha Kitchen - Highly recommended!!!!
Staff friendly but food horrible and quality dropped. I have been to this pleace several times and i have seen it go down hill. It was such a nice place.
Have just had my daughter's birthday lunch here yesterday; was absolutely wonderful as it always is (we have had several family birthday parties here over the last year) always totally delicious and fantastic value for money. A definite recommend for anyone to try, children and adults. Kids loved it as much as adults! Head chef comes out and takes you on a tour if you have any allergies or dietary requirements to show you what's viable!
Limited selection. It really can't compete with Cosmos in Croydon
Was very impressed with the food , food is nicely seasoned and staff are very nice.
Food was absolutely vile. As being a kidney transplant recipient I left the establishment and went straight to hospital as fell ill whilst in the restarant due to the vile food. Told the manager i m not willing to pay full amount and only More
The food is constantly well prepared and tasty, cashiers hands over excellent service. I love how neat it is and atmosphere. Would recommend to others.
All dish bowls almost empty! 7:30 pm!
Food cold and manager rude when I asked to bring fresh salad! (finish what's in there then it will be replaced
Not coming back!
Food wasnt great, didnt taste fresh. Been to better all you can eat.
Recommend you improve food quality and section.
Went there about a month ago. Me and boyfriend really looking forward to buffet. Looked good, tasted terrible - really terrible. Bland, stale, cold. Waited a long time for drinks. Had already finished starter and turned out drinks hadn't been put through although we ordered at beginning. Don't usually write reviews - never mind bad ones. But I felt the experience was so appalling that I was inclined to.
A halal buffet with a large variety of food. The service and atmosphere was really good too.
Had a meal this evening rice was almost empty and rock hard Currys had nice flavour could do with a deep clean stairs and toilets very slippery cleaning in progress boards in down stairs clearly no cleaning going on fruit flies all around whilst eating welcome greating on arrival not even a good by when leaving won't be going back in a hurry that's for shaw
This spot is the one I like best. I eat in many restaurants but to this one I constantly return again and again. The stuff is very cordial and the cooking they cook is so delicious. I would always prefer to have a decent meal in this restaurant. Highly recommended.
There is a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. The staff are really helpful and nice. Only rated a 3star as we booked for 20 and paid a deposit. Couldn't find our reservation and the seats were not organised. Meat was a bit tuff but everything else was cooked lovely. I would go back again xx
Don't like leaving a bad reviews as the staff were very good but the food was the worst buffet I've ever been to. To add insult to injury at the end we split the bill for a table of 15 and found a round of drinks we didn't have (charged me More
The service is excellent! The food was very hit and miss. Only 40% of the dishes were good, the samosa's especially. The duck and chicken dishes were stale as if reheated from another day
Aas there for a work colleagues leaving meal! Menu was buffet was awesome!!
Food was delicious and hot, only down side is the toilets
Better than most multi cultural cuisine buffets and reasonably priced.
Delicious food, wide range to choose from. Only thing I can fault is the fact that a drink isn't included in the buffet price. Would've been nice. Never the less, I massively enjoyed my meal and will definitely be returning very soon!
Lovely lunch out. First visit and was nice. Friendly, pleasant staff. Large variety to choose from. Had options for me as I don't eat meat. Vegan. Had an Indian dish and stir fried vegetables with rice noodles. Very tasty and we'll seasoned. Would visit again. Great birthday lunch.
Fantastic Just ate there, I love the strawberry drink best drink I ever had
Mon 27th May 2019... Went here earlier today with couple friends to celebrate my Birthday.. Most the food was semi warm, and service wasn't too great neither. As I helping myself to food, a young lady with family was really telling them off , not going again... Avoid like the Plague
