What Natalie Mabena likes about Fat Buddha Durham:
We were disappointed to find that the gluten-free options were limited at this restaurant. Furthermore, we were surprised to learn that all sauces are pre-made, making it difficult for the chef to accommodate special requests. View all feedback. What Tjd5 doesn't like about Fat Buddha Durham:
Birthday celebration and had high expectations for a good night however the restart aunt is closed and we were served our meals in the bar area. How to destroy a special occasion! Absolutely no ambiance and didn't even rate as a pub meal. Such a shame as good was good but not as we expected when we booked. This meal was not cheap and we deserved to be better treat as customers. Wake up fat Buddha I will travel to Sun... View all feedback.

Overall, reviews for The Fat Bhudda restaurant were mixed. Some customers were disappointed by the loud music and long waiting times, while others praised the efficient service and delicious food. One customer found the dishes to be lacking in flavor and quality compared to a previous visit to a different location of the restaurant. Gluten-free options were limited, and some customers were surprised to find out that all sauces were pre-made. Despite some setbacks, many diners still enjoyed their experience and plan to return, possibly at a later time to avoid noisy children.

When my husband and I walked into this place, I was so happy! The decor was much fancier than I had anticipated.

Nice interior, warm service but we were a bit rushedDrink menu was a little sticky which made me sceptical about this place.
