Yesterday we came here to eat as it clearly stated that it’s a BUFFET, and you serve yourself and eat as much you can for a price. Well, yesterday we came here to eat and most of the trays were empty and the manager walking around with a tray of king prawns and serving people. If that’s the case then please Remove the sign and the menu and just serve people like they do in normal restaurants. It was diabolical and disgusting. Why are you serving people like we can’t serve ourselves. Wired

QUESTION: Is this place a buffet, or is it only for certain types of people? I have never went to a buffet where the owner will literally walk around and serving people what he thinks they deserves in their plates. They don’t refill and leave the dishes empty on purpose because they don’t want (The specific type of race to help themselves with the buffet) BY THE OWNER’S ORDERS I’ve been coming here for about 5 years now and I always get treated like a criminal despite paying just like everyone else. I don’t eat most of the stuff in there because they’re mostly bland and basic. I only eat the pineapples as desert and 6 king prawns, (3 vegetable springs rolls, salad, sea weed, broccoli and mushrooms as a starter. Then I’ll have the special fried rice with the vegetables and shrimps, with more broccoli and black bean sauce from the meaty one on the left. Today I came in, and most of the dishes were empty PER USUAL. Imagine fasting all day, after a long day at work and picked up my child from nursery and came here to eat my usuals, came in 15 minutes late after iftar and asked for water so I could break my fast. I asked the beautiful young lady when it’s the next refill for the prawns and she said 5minutes. I waited and obviously the owner must’ve told them to hand him the prawns so he could distribute it by walking to each table and dishing them out to people. He came to me and gave me 2 prawns and walked off with the tray and served the others as they wished then took the rest in the kitchen. After an hr of watching and wondering what the hell is going on. I then realised that he did not want me to eat the food. Knowing how hungry I was after a rough day of fasting I ate mostly spring rolls and a bowl of pineapple. I don’t eart ice cream or meat or chicken from here. The only thing that I eat here is what I mentioned above. Today is my last time coming in here because the owner is becoming more arrogant and more aggressive with absolutely ZERO customer services manners. He is now picking and choosing the type of customers he feel/deemed worthy serve because he feels superior to serve anything darker than him. What a shame. Masha Allah, the two waitresses (SPECIALLY THE YOUNGER ONE, she's so kind and just helpful in every way, and her face just radiates NOT only beauty but compassion) May Allah grant you beautiful and better things in this dunya and the hereafter, so that you don’t in places like this and working with an Arrogant A’hole like that long faced, drooling chin, racist person like him as a boss, I pray that god put you in higher positions in life where you will be your own boss. Insha Allah Vegetarian options: It’s not a buffet if the owner is serving you and choosing how much you should eat. In this Ramadan, I’d never thought a fellow Muslim would withhold food that he claims it’s all you can eat.

Left after 10 minutes, food very bad not much choice, desert was only gelly, soft drinks watered down, no toilet paper in toilet. Got charged over £30 for two people for basic low quality food.

Hit and miss, most of the time its good, some times its not great. Drinks taste diluted and pricey! buffet price is reasonable though and on a good occasion the food is top quality. Please top up the prawns more often.
