Variety of Food

Pros:

  • "First time visiting today for my mothers birthday and we were all so pleasantly surprised by how much food there was!"
  • "A really great place to go and have all you can eat from all you would want to eat."
  • "It had an excellent selection from Thai, Chinese, and Indian cooking plus a very good selection of desserts, including cakes and fruits."
  • "The food itself was amazing. There were tonnes of different dishes to choose from."
  • "Great buffet. Visited at dinner time and reasonable price."
  • "10 stars from me! Best buffet ever!! Amazing selection of food and desserts, so many halal options too!"
  • "Lovely atmosphere when we first got inside, we were surprised how large the seating area was compared from what you see from the front. Food was an excellent choice of classic Chinese takeaway, but then Indian food in a small section, pizza available and a fish food counter for those who choose."
  • "Visited for my grandsons 12th birthday. The food was lovely and we all left with full stomachs. There was plenty of choice and none of the trays were empty."

Cons:

  • "Some of the food is cold and sometimes dry if its been sitting there a while."
  • "However, it is missing a sushi counter, but the selections of other foods made up for it."
  • "Some of the food wasn't great. Parts of the satay chicken I had was very pink, it looked not cooked at all."
  • "I only have it three stars because I absolutely loved the salt and pepper king prawns and they were served with shells on. I did not enjoy it."
  • "I had a day out with my wife and kids and choose this place for lunch. there wasn't loads of food choices specially sea food. I had some pizza which I wish I never picked up the pizza base was literally uncooked dough."
  • "The food itself was amazing. There were tonnes of different dishes to choose from."
  • "Modified Chinese food but still a good place if we want a great value Chinese food with kids in the UK. 30+ dishes all you can eat, chef made-to-order food."
  • "The Indian Pakistani dishes did not taste nice at all. Bread was hard and too crispy to eat. This range was not authentic."

  • "They have a great Halal selection also."
  • "I'm happy to suggest it to anyone interested in Asian cuisine."

Cons:

  • "Sensory wise the noise could get pretty intense from time to time (young children tend to echo in such a large space) and the lighting was a bit intense in certain areas."
  • "The decor in this place is delightful, it's something that really pulls you into the restaurant, however, the food was sub par."
  • "I don’t usually leave reviews, and overall the service and atmosphere was great. However, the food wasn’t great."
  • "The worst restaurant I have ever been to in my life, we came for dinner at 07:30 pm plates are dirty and disgusting, literally food left overs in all pans, most of the pans are empty and food is dry and tastes horrible."
  • "Found it by chance on an infrequent visit to Merry Hill. What a find. Clean,inviting with a good range of food."
  • "Looks nice from the outside but when you go in its loud and sterile, it's just one big canteen with a few fancy lights, horrible atmosphere, tables are in lines so you carnt talk to each other, food wasn't very good."
  • "A great buffet experience! Lovely food, we will definitely be visiting again! The only downside was as a vegetarian, the selection of vegetarian mains could have been bigger."
  • "Venue was really nice. Clean modern and pretty big. Lots of food choice especially puddings to my daughters delight!!"

Cons:

  • "Some of the food is cold and sometimes dry if its been sitting there a while."
  • "Only thing I'll add is the barman at the time needs to cheer up a bit, seemed a bit grumpy."

  • "Only flaw was our whole table was cleared including drinks while we were at the buffet getting desserts."
  • "I have visited this place before but on my second visit I don't think I will be going there again. Food wasn't fresh most of the curries were dry."
  • "The staff were pleasant, although they didn't bring more cutlery when asked, and didn't mention there was somewhere we could get more cutlery."
  • "I don't think this is anything special, you can taste the water in most dishes, I think it's quite disappointing that one of the workers said 'there's nothing wrong with her/him, she/he is just fat'."
  • "Attended on a Monday evening so relatively quiet, the food was OK, the staff were polite and friendly."
