Booked a table for 15 to celebrate 2 of my kid's birthdays. The food was absolutely delicious, between all of us everything was tried and enjoyed. Later on at night we all wanted to go back for more😂 so cant wait for next visit. The kids were catered for too, plenty of choice for fussy eaters. And the fruit skewers with chocolate sauce was a winner. Staff could not do enough to help us enjoy our visit. And made a big fuss of the birthday boys! As I said cant wait to go back, the kids too.

The best world buffet in a 100 mile range of Glasgow. The food is fantastic (more focused on indian) the service is super, very attentive and eager to please. I have tried MANY buffets and I rate this the best. The cook and indies world buffet is not even a competitor. Keep it up! Please do not raise the prices and keep your customer loyalty scheme running. Well done.

I had heard mixed reviews of this place but we decided to go and try it for ourselves and I'm so glad we did! The food was lovely... Really tasty with a great selection to choose from and the staff honestly couldn't have been nicer or more helpful! .. just absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back! Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, thank you!

Nice food, friendly staff. Good choice of food it's in a strange order though doesn't go starter to main to desserts, so your a bit all over getting food. Plates are cold is probably biggest complaint. A few wrong label's. Has a kids corner aswel. Would be nice to see more authentic desserts. And they do refillable drinks. Overall pretty good and decent prices. I've been twice in 2 weeks.

Myself and my partner have been here a few times.. The first couple of times were a bit of a disaster. We were first greeted by a girl who hardly spoke English and couldn't understand what we wanted to order. The second time the food options weren't the best. The soup was slightly burnt and no one was in a hurry to refill anything up for the customers. So 3rd time lucky we were greeted with a handshake and a smile taken to our seats with a smile. There's more food options available and the staff are popping round asking if we enjoyed our food and if there was anything they could do. This is the stuff that should be asked when in.. This is how you know if the staff are paying attention to their customers.. And from what I read on the Facebook page the reviews weren't the best.. So hopefully this one will help the business out a bit. I was pleased with the service today along with the sharpness of the staff and their working ethics. I would come again if this was the same each time my family and I visited.

I was here last night and I can say it's one of the best buffet places I have been to. I was greeted at the door by a member of staff and taken to my seat. I was able to order my drinks pretty quickly as it was busy. The food was amazing and plenty of it. really enjoyed myself.

Attended Sat 7th December about 7pm and it was very busy, however did not have to wait for a table. The manager came over to talk to us after our meal to get some feedback, i had no complaints with the food I ate (indian and some chinese). I knew any place with indian food would do well in the hub. There wasnt really any Italian grub on the go that i could see other than pizza and cold salad pasta (but if this is what you are after go to frankie n bennys 2 doors down). Nevertheless it was a party of 4 and we had 2nd helpings and desserts afterwards. The desserts on offer were good ranging, though ice cream freezer needs to be turned up a notch, you really needed some arm muscle to get a scoop (but it does stop you being greedy i suppose). As out for a birthday meal, beers and a nice chilled bottle of prosecco were consumed and a waiter came to top up our glasses when he seen them empty. Drink prices not any different to other local pubs (bottle £18 and beers £4 a pint). Cocktails were on offer for 2 of the same for £10 but didnt stay long enough to sample. I liked my food and overall didnt expect anything less. The manager was lovely so much so he offered us a free sourz shot which was a nice touch. Perhaps only criticism as it has just opened, waiters seemed to be a bit discoordinated, but i think it was because they did not expect to be as busy as they were. Also, it doesnt seem like much decor/ambience has gone into the place, i think the tables are from the previous business that used to be there. I think a few extra finishing touches would see the place it hit the right notes (ensure all food has labelling and listing some ingredients as well as how spicy the dish is.) Finally, where we were seated was great as in the middle next to buffet, yet the buffet traffic did not get in the way. Although the middle section was a wee bit cramped had to put jackets and bags to the 2 seater next to us, otherwise they would have been on the floor, but the staff did not mind. In terms of pricing, you would think maybe its over priced, but as its a buffet you eat whatever and as much as you can eat! Even with the drinks, it worked out £25 a head, ive been next door in the mexican place with my partner and spent £70 quid on 2 courses where i left food on my plate and i was on mocktails! I'll likely revisit because its long over due for some indian cuisine in the 'hub'. Overall, we were satisfied with food (was warm, cooked and tasty) and had room for pudding.

Brilliant food and great variety. Could be doing with being a bit bigger because it was mobbed....reason for it being mobbed was because it's great value and the food is of a high standard for a buffet. Seen a few folk giving it 1 star....away to Frankie and Bennies 2 doors down for yer micro meal if you don't like it. Cannot see why anyone would struggle to find something to eat when the place does 4 different cuisines!! Jog on.
