I had a dinner here yesterday. We are tourists and this is the first time we eat in the buffet restaurant in Edinburgh. Most of things were strange to us and there was a very friendly staff called Astou helped us, she explained everything very clearly. We’re very happy with her attitude and enthusiasm. The food is very nice.

First of all the space is incredibly cramped you literally get headaches when you get inside.Food was not worth for the price and more importantly it’s not tasty , no much of choice, I expected more than that when you look from outside, anyway waste of money from my point view never again, you can get good takeout alone from a local Chinese restaurant for the same price and it’s peaceful

Un placer haber cenado allí. Está localizado justo al lado de nuestro hotel y fuimos por curiosidad… el servicio es eficaz, amable y wow, ¡qué bien se come! Calidad - precio, súper bien la verdad ; me quedé realmente sorprendida. Está súper tranquilo en las últimas horas de servicio. Recomendado 100%

I recently enjoyed a top-notch meal here and left feeling really satisfied! The renovations look great, and the food was absolutely delicious, with the lamb and cumin and the Beijing pork ribs really standing out for me. Service was spot on, and the atmosphere was lively and inviting. Just a small note on those wobbly tables—if you could sort that out, it’d be perfect! Overall, I can't wait to return!

We had a lovely lunch here recently! The food was absolutely top-notch, especially the Thai Green Curry Chicken and Eton Mess; I can’t praise them enough! The atmosphere was nice, and the service was spot on—everyone was so friendly. Absolutely no complaints and wouldn’t change a thing; it’s always a treat coming here! I’ll definitely be back more often!

Selection of food Amazing, always fresh and tastes Fabulous, great atmosphere everyone having a good time. Beautiful decor and much more spacious than it used to be. Only grievance is you do wait a while for drinks/glasses to be brought and we got kicked off our table, understandable that they are busy but a bit rude

Disappointing if you don't eat seafood and mushrooms, as it's not a lot of options for people like me who don't eat fish ND mushrooms, desserts wasn't that good either, but it's only my opinion

The range of food from Chinese ,Indian, and Japanese was very good ,it was our first time eating sushi here.There was a chef who cooked on the grill in front of you, giving you a pleasant experience. The place was near a cinema place and a shopping centre giving you other things to do after you eat.The only bad thing is that you have to pre booked and you have arrive exactly at the time you booked for .We arrived at about 6:30 and they couldn't bring us in thus we had to wait out in the cold outside .But the whole entire experience was very good ,including the food.

Rigtig fin buffetrestaurant. Den er STOR hvilket også betyder travlhed og der er flere ting som ikke blive fyldt op. Dessertbuffeten var noget tom da vi nåede dertil. Maden var ellers god og varieret.
