I was quite excited to visit here as I hadn't realised there was a world buffet in Hamilton. I knew about the one in Glasgow but my man and I fancied somewhere a wee bit quieter.
It was £11.99 for the buffet as we went mid week. Unfortunately it was the middle of the road for me on their food. Aye they had, Chinese, Indian, supposedly Thai, Italian and surprisingly a taco, so Mexican as well then.
So yes it was quiet, which we wanted but this disappointingly meant two bad things. 1. It meant some of the food was dried out, so had been lying for quite a while. My man's taco was brick hard. 2. The staff were constantly coming to our table asking how everything was. I don't mind the once but every 5 minutes by every single member of staff in there. GO AWAY!!! WE'RE FINE!
The girl who we were greeted by and explained how it worked was absolutely lovely and very helpful and friendly. She served us our drinks and was the first to check we were ok and then left us to it.
There was plenty to choose from but I felt it was more Indian dish focused. This maybe due to the restaurant being run by Indians/Pakistanis?!
The girl apologised to us for the other staff harassing us when we went to pay her the bill, she said they can be overwhelming. We also said about our food being quite dried out and she apologised again and said we should have said something because they would have cooked up something else. It was kind of her but we didn't realise we could and when going to a buffet I don't always know what I want and will like. I also wanted my food instantly, hence going to a buffet, so no wait.
It was an alright experience, only lifted by the friendly girl staff member (who I would gladly rate 5 stars) but I don't think we'll be hurrying back soon. read more
