Zaza bazaar Reviews

A place worth recommending. Food great. As for me, two hours were enough.

Note: Extremely busy restaurant and very loud. If you are looking for a relaxing or romantic evening this should not be your choice.

For a fun filled evening with more choices of food than you can imagine look no further. This place has a huge range of cuisines from oriental to Mexican to Italian and beyond. It's buffet style all you can eat but many dishes are cooked fresh for you such as the pasta and noodles. Food is good quality and there is ample seating.
There are also many desserts. Cakes, puddings, ice cream, chocolate fountain and so on. There is an unlimited soda option for an extra price to which is handy.
The whole place looks like a city street food set up with market stalls and bright lights. Very cool very fun!

Totally worth it!!Authentic and yummy multi cuisine food all under one roof.Buffet is the best.

I happened to visit on 1st Jan and hence the menu could be elaborate so not sure about the buffet on the other days.

Love that cocktail was always 2 for 1 upstairs. We had variety of food. Did not find anything that was bad. A lot of food are cooked continuously so no Need to worry about stale food being served!

Amazing price, amazing choice of food, great service and staff

The food no to bad but service is no that great specially the girl name KARlPANA very rode .

Just bloody great, I think. The food is great for the money, always hot and fresh, something for everyone. You can take kids there and not worry about them causing a scene because it's a lively atmosphere. All of the staff seem really happy in their work and they are all really nice and friendly. I love it!

Awesome food selection and some product seems even better than some takeouts I have had. Very clean but can get busy at peak times. Well worth a visit if in Bristol

Good for an all you can eat buffet, booking on weekend I feel would be best advised as never seemed to have a 'quiet moment

So many cultures of food, all you can eat, amazing!

Good variety, quality isn't the best but then again isn't the worst.
Atmosphere isn't great either, loud, hectic, messy.

Good food, can be very busy though so be prepared for that. Plenty of choice too.

Love visiting this place! Whenever a binge is needed this is my go too. With a large selection of buffet foods to choose from and a large drinks menu you cannot go wrong here. It doesn't advertise itself as anything fancy and therefore it's refreshing they don't try to be anything else.

This place is better than zaza newcastle. Lods of varieties

Too busy and a poor choice of food. Crammed in like cattle!

Great selection of food. Good for the family as there is something for everyone.

Usual great choice of food which is mostly good quality and tasty. We hadn't been for a while and did feel the decor is now looking tired with old, sticky, brown Formica tables and rickity chairs! Too many tables crammed together (more than there used to be?) make it difficult for anyone with mobility issues or small children to manoeuvre around. Overall good but could definitely do with a refurb!

Too pricey for the average person with an average appetite. Hectic atmosphere and quite obscene in many ways all that food everywhere . Staff not helpful. We could quite easily have walked out without paying, maybe we should because the amount we ate and the experience we had wasn't worth the price .

This is a crazy restaurant and perhaps a good place to go with a large group due to ease of ordering/paying and loads of seating area. However, the food is always disappointing and subpar, nothing will make you want seconds of it. More

Food was decent enough but I didn't like being served the food at all..

Relaxed atmosphere, amazing variety of food, would love to go again.

Always stuff myself silly here, great food, not to pricey if you have a good appetite

Exacerbated by intense heat, placed in a booth with no apparent aircon. A one way system is in operation but given its left to a customers own common sense to abide by this it isn't adhered to. Children under 12 not advised to be walking around alone either but plenty of kids running about too. The food was as it normally is but the queuing means you're unlikely to be able to try everything in your alloted time. They're damned if they do, damned if they don't in the current climate.

The most amazing world buffet in the UK, great food, great experience.

Huge selection of food, all of which is tasty.

Great for groups or when hungry....expect canteen quality of food and you won't be disappointed.

The best example of... you pay for what you get.
Monday madness? Yes. Madly rude staff! I understand that it can be a stressful industry but don't get into it if you aren't prepared for the demand. Not that there were demands being made. Just a table & a jug of water..

Had an awesome meal here with my family when we were in the area for our girls weekend. Only thing i would suggest is more air con as we visited on a particularly hot day and it just felt very hot and stuffy. Food definitely made up for it though.

Amazing choice of food of good quality and taste. Only downside is how popular it is, so you really have to pre-book!

All different foods so something for everyone. Good value.

Bad vibes - not sure what the food is like but it's a no from me dawg

Good eat all you want restaurant. Does tend too be quite noisy at times when it is busy

Brilliant evening fantastic food and value for money x

Quantity over quality. They have all the choice you could ever want, and when you look around there will be loads of things you want to try. But everything you taste is a disappointment, always tastes worst than it looks. Drinks are watered down, and due to shift system, there is always a long queue to pay because everyone has to leave at the same time. Maybe a good choice if you are a giant group of people with kids, and if you want halal chicken, but otherwise avoid.

Never fails to impress, will always keep going to the Bristol and the Newcastle one. Staff really friendly and food really good

The food seemed much better quality than the last time I went, probably 3 years ago. We booked for 6pm on a Monday and it wasn't too busy at all, also more affordable than any other evening and 0-4 year olds ate free!

The best place to eat EVERYTHING !!! It is certainly a MUST!

Usually we go on a Saturday or midweek this time we decided to visit them on a Sunday at 7pm we found most of the food was greasy and not much choice. On the desert station I asked which cakes had strawberry in as most of the deserts were red in colour and we were allergic to strawberrys the man at the station just showed us a picture of a cake and walked off. This meant the only thing we could eat was jelly in a pot the size of a thimble. Won't be going back there on the Sunday again.

Indian food was lovely the rest was at best average, the whole place could do with a gd clean.

I liked this place a lot . Very nice starter and lots of variety for vegetarian. I mosty focussed on indian food which was really good. I loved this place . Nice ambience .

Za Za Bazaar is one of the newest all-you-can-eat restaurants in Bristol, and (in my opinion) was very much overhyped when it opened. It's not for the geographically-challenged (the place is enormous so remember to take mental notes of where your table is before rushing off to plunder the buffet) not for the small of appetite as you won't eat as much as what you pay for. There's a diverse range of cuisine and you certainly won't leave hungry. However, if you prefer your food cooked to order, it may not be your cup of tea.

Before corona it was a infinite buffet restricted by a time period. Due to the restrictions now the buffet is closed but the time limit is no longer there and you have a maximum of; four staters, two sides, four mains and four deserts per More

Absolutely amazing, been more than a few times now and never get bored of the food. Eat as much as you like of a massive variety of different foods. An all you can drink option available for fizzy drinks. And as much pudding as you can handle after stuffing yourself. With a Mr whippy ice cream machine

Saturdays are definitely worth going because of all the variety of food very different from weekdays. Really liking it there. It's busy and if you like that kind of "bits and bobs here and there" - buffet style experience. This is a great place+you can have pre/afterdrinks in their bar downstairs which is accompanied by music. Nice place!

Food selection was good and quality was quite good. Table service for drinks was poor and tables really were squashed in despite they're being lots of free space

Lovely food for an all you can eat, have been coming here on and off for 8 years - would recommend for a nice night out and if you're lucky enough to sit next to the window near the harbour it's even nicer

This is one of those places where you know that quality has been sacrficed for quantity, but the sheer quantity you get to choose from makes it ok, especially since the quality is still alright. Lots of lovely, salty, sugary food good for times when you are pretending that you deserve a treat or you want to spend a couple of hours in great discomfort (or both). They often run deals and they switch the cuisines quite often which keeps the experience fresh. I love it as it's a lot of fun and you feel like you can mess about. The more serious and higher quality alternative is COSMO, which on balance, is better, but it doesn't have at all as much as the super fun factor.

To be honest I don't think its worth the visit at the moment, with all the covid restrictions in place it made it more of a chore today with the kids.
Can't fault the staff or cleanliness at all and its still value for money but its not the same at the moment.

This place is truly amazing, always introduce new people here. A huge range of all you can eat cuisines and the food is fresh and delicious with great desert. Perfect for someone with a large appetite, fill your boots!

Me my mum and my sister came here for family meal. My mum and sister are not from Bristol and are just amazed with this place.
The size of it, the vibe, the music. I had to close their mouths for them.
We came at lunchtime, the food was fab and drinks were reasonably priced.
It made our get together!
We will be back next time they 're down this way. I will be back before that tho ;)

It s recommended by a friend and this was simply disappointing. No more buffets due to COVID-19. They have got new menus in place where you order certain number of starter, mains, sides and desserts. I would not recommend this! Random choices and then food was simply disgusting and disappointing! When you try the food you will have the chance to wonder whether they are even aware of what they served.

Otherwise, friendly service. When we gave them feedback the manager gave us 50% off from the bill. That s generous since I cannot forget my experience here.

It would be nice if they allocated an adults only area at busier times. I have children, but sometimes you get a night off.

Selection of food is huge. This is a nice place to visit with the extended family

It was okay but not great. I'm Belgian and all of this food was not very tasty. It may be very nice for English people but not for French or Belgians.

I'd say this was the best "all you can eat" place I've ever been to. Really like the island layout of the restaurant each with their own theme, that works really well. Don't be fooled into thinking this is that super low mush you get at other ayce's - this is far better

As a resident of Bristol, I have been here a few times. To be completely it depends on the group you are with, If you are with a large group, it's a lot easier as it caters for all tastes. Whilst the food can be a little bit disappointing taste wise there is a massive selection to choose from. The staff can also appear to be too busy to be friendly.
I personally would go to one of the other all you can eat's if you are in a small group, however as mentioned, in a large group Za Za Bazaar is usually a winner.

Whilst ZaZa Bazaar is a buffet I've gone to many times it feels the quality of food over time hasn't improved but their speed and prices have gone up. I feel as though ZaZa does a good job in food rotation but could benefit from a redecorating.

This place Is absolutely marvellous.. This is a massive restaurant and the food choices incredible. Unusually I found the cost of the drinks very reasonable making the whole experience excellent value for money.

I enjoy Zaza bazaar but it's not very disabled friendly and the disabled toilets always seems to be locked

It's the kind of place you go to with a large group, people who like different cuisines or are picky eaters. Due to the large selection of food everyone is bound to find something they like or want to eat, so it's a good option for a birthday party or get together.



The self-serve drinks on tap are not the best...but they get the job done. The Chefs are quick to replenish food and there are quite a few live cooking stations to have your raw ingredients cooked for you there and then.

Overall the best buffet restaurant I've been to so far in Bristol.

Super place for time out with your mates or friends!

Tasty food and you choose what to prepare for you.7 world cuisines

Tasty food with a huge selection to choose from.
Service at the downstairs bar can be very slow though, even at not busy times.

Very reasonable. It's not fine dining but fine for lunch with the kids

Value for money, not really.alot of the staff dont speak much English resulting in us getting wrong drinks. Rush hour at the zoo came to mind as they opened upstairs, great choice of food pity most of it was bland, felt rushed and in the way of people rushing to fill plates for the first 50 minutes.would like to say i would go back, but that wont be happening.
