Was led to the table, no explanation what we needed to do. Wasn't asked if we wanted drinks, called someone over to order drinks and nearly finished our food before the drinks came. Not sure why a service charge was added.

Bad service alot of staff standing around till point near the drinks, but not one staff member serving!!! Food not all that to many birthday party's at once, no space to move. Practically had people standing over me and leaning on my seat. Wouldn't go back again.

The place was nice and inviting. Staff were pleasant and helpful. The price was also not too expensive. There could have been more variety in the meals but other than that, it was a very pleasant experience

The staff were pleasant and the cocktails good. However the food was either too hot, too bland, tasted of old oil or undertone. Chicken tikka was about the best dish. Even though it was cheap to eat it wasn"t an experience I would try again. If you really value your good tastes don't waste your money here.

Not quite like JRC but still okay if wanting somewhere in the Bromley area. They've even added plantain to the menu! However the menu seems to vary slightly each time Ive visited. My husband and 4 of our friends visited Friday evening and we were all dissapointed and surprised with the lack of variety. Food was luke warm and we had to scrap the bottom to get a spoonful of anything. Surprisingly they only had 1 chicken option that evening. They had rice & peas but no jerk chicken or decent chicken option to accompany it! Parking not to bad if in the evening or weekend. Have been a number of times and each time varied opinion, hit n miss inconsistent. Horrible toilets.

I love it. The food is fresh, loads of salads, a wide variety of spicy and not spicy food. The desserts are immaculate. "No need for a lot of sugar to make something taste good," that quote definitely applies to the desserts.

Poor quality, tasteless food without any authenticity and originality. They are just using names of traditional food whereas cook has no idea what he/she is making.
High pricing is attracting a lot of people in a hope for the best but useless. In fact, most of the customers I saw during my visit are unknown to the original taste of the food so can't judge the food. This way Buddha Belly is imprinting wrong image on the taste buds of innocent customers.

Amazing place, we came half an hour early of our reservation and they found us a table. One of the group was not happy with the tables location and they even moved us to accommodate. Food was terrific, service lovely.

Attended last night for an evening meal. The decor was okay and the service started off okay. We ordered drink, as I'm 8months pregnant I ordered a mock tail. I was given an alcoholic cocktail instead. Didnt realise until I tasted it. Mis communication between staff as the gentleman who lead me to the table could clearly see I was pregnant. However the food was nice. Took us a while to get the bill once we did we was presented with a card machine an no detailed bill. Never experienced that before. We asked for a detailed bill and of course the service charge was included. We asked to have it removed which they did. Overall the food was okay but the service was unprofessional.

My 2 year old was having a complete melt down when we arrived with friends for lunch but calmed down once she tried a few of the different foods they have on offer. The waitress, lacey was fantastic as well. Really nice and nothing was too much trouble for her

Interesting combination of cuisines with a decent selection, but lacking a little in quality. Several choices were almost "leftovers" in the buffet and not replenished quickly enough to keep things fresh.

For example, the pancakes offered with the duck were dry and breaking apart instead of soft and moist, and the chicken tikka sitting in the tray was barely lukewarm. Several rice/noodle containers were virtually empty and I was basically scraping the bottom to get anything like a portion.



Would I go back? Maybe. On a different night at a different time perhaps the offerings would be better and fresher, but cost cutting is never an excuse for below par food. If you have a group of fussy eaters that can't agree on what to go for, then there's at least something for everyone, but would I go out of my way to go back or to recommend it to friends? I have to say, not especially.

The interior needs a big revamp! The chairs were duct taped together, and the seats broken. The food that was uncovered had flies on it. Some food was good which was in covered containers, but there was little choice. Been to far better buffets. Dessert table was limited and shockingly bad. Probably only a place to go with young children who don t eat much so the buffet pays off for parents.

Staff also weren t great. We weren t even greeted when we went in. The system wasn t explained and we were just left to it.

Went here for birthday celebration with family. The food was awful and so full of salt I would be concerned about young children eating here. Service was fine two lady waitresses were very nice but there is no way we would ever eat here again. Would not recommend.

The selection isn't great & the food tasted cheap. Expensive for what it is. And they even add a service charge to your bill.. Even though it's self service? Wouldn't send my worst enemy there.

Formerly Buddha Belly - you can see why they changed the name. Despite being an all you can eat, wonders of the food world set up, the food is actually very much of a muchness. The same ingredients recur in a wide variety of cuisines, of course, but the only reason for a restaurant to serve this much onion, potato, and tomato is to create margin with cheap ingredients. The price for a sit down meal here is as expensive as other local restaurants, and their fare is much better.

Good spacious place for an evening catchup with friends and colleagues. Friendly staff.

Compared to price, I felt the food is ok and not that awesome. Limited starter options. Live kitchen is ok. But other main course is not great too in terms of taste. They have a big spread of salads.
Ah, floor cleanliness..yak..in front of live kitchen. I have never been to restaurants no matter how busy they were where floor is sticky.

Sorry, I would not recommend.

Food was poor quality, dried out and stale tasting, with limited choice. Waiting staff was rude and was keen to rush us out of there. Definitely wouldn't recommend and won't be going there again. Disgusting!

Salty. Slow service. Staff was at best disnterested in serving. Vegetarian choices are minimum at best and some of the food looked like stale.
Salt was the spice used liberally in pretty much everything except plain rice.
Guy serving Naan was only silver lining. 2 veg curries were finished and when asked the staff for refill he simply said..wait..you will get it.. just be patient. I then they charged 16 pounds for being patient as well.
My hostel mess was better than this.
Never again.

A good range of choices including Indian (my favourite), Chinese, Thia, a little Mexican, and a little odds and ends like pizza wings chips etc. There is also a fresh stir fry section but my wife said it was a little over cooked and too salty. Service was good. Only complaint was that food looked a little to over cooked, but its a buffet so it was fine. Also, nice salads which made up for the lack vegetable dishes.

Nice ambience. Good food. Less varieties. Staff is good and helpful. Parking in civic centre car park and walkable from there. Booking required on weekends and holidays, otherwise it is free. Price is reasonable for the buffet. Suitable for groups, young kids, small parties.
