Buffet was quite expensive, and the restaurant honestly seem a bit nervous about losing money, hence the rules surrounding the buffet: Leftover food can 't be taken home (fair enough) excess leftover food may be charged for, everyone on the table must east the buffet, (so one person can not eat from the normal menu if others in the party are eating from the buffet). Staff wanted to know how many pieces of each starter we wanted, e.g Lamb Tikki. How many pieces? Two? Three? What would you give to someone ordering a starter off the normal menu? I 'll take that many please... Staff did not know the difference between the beers, saying 'it 's just a beer ' when asked the difference between two of the drafts. Small bottle of coke was £3.50. However, food was very nice which is the name of the game. Atmosphere was OK. Bill was quite expensive... I 'd go again if in a group.

The nan breads were stone cold. All in all we will not be eating here again very dissappointing and for what we paid 70 quid a rip off!

It's OK and clearly very popular but I had expected more due to the ratings.
